Chapter 222

"He Fangzheng is currently ranked first in the Hidden Dragon List of the True Martial Arts Academy. His family is also a famous family in Qingzhou.

"He is very famous in the academy. It is said that he has reached the complete Nirvana level, which belongs to the quasi-king level.

"In addition, he is the current manager of the Breeze Villa and has many friends in and out of the academy.

"After Jiang Yige disappeared, I tried to find out more about him, but my cultivation was much weaker than his, so it was difficult to succeed."

Ye Qingshuang told him about He Fangzheng's information one by one. Obviously, she had investigated him for a long time.

"Even if he is ranked first in the Hidden Dragon List, it is impossible for him to defeat the Daozi of the Celestial Court. He doesn't have the ability to make Jiang Yige disappear."

Gu Chen frowned. "It seems that there is someone behind him. It is very likely that it is a master of the Underworld Guard level. Only he has the ability to pose a threat to Jiang Yige."

Ye Qingshuang heard Gu Chen talking about the Underworld Guard and knew that he really knew the Underworld Palace very well. She immediately said, "I have told you everything I know. You have to give me information."

Gu Chen immediately shook his head. "Don't worry, I still need you to do something."

"You won't go back on your words, will you?"

Ye Qingshuang's face was a bit pale.

"What you have said so far is your one-sided statement. Who knows whether you will cheat me or not? So, you have to take me to see He Fangzheng and find out more about him. "

"If what you said is true, I will naturally do what I promised."

Gu Chen answered indifferently.

"You want to meet He Fangzheng?"

Ye Qingshuang sneered.

"Why, is there a problem?"

"I admit that I am not as good as you, but I am only ranked 68th on the Hidden Dragon List, which is far from He Fangzheng."

"You can defeat me, but it is difficult to defeat He Fangzheng. He is only one step away from the immortal-level. Besides those geniuses on the list, few people in the entire academy are his opponents."

"It is very difficult for you to find out more about him. You might even alert him. If you deal with him like how you dealt with me today, then it will be very difficult for you to escape unscathed. The True Martial Academy rejects assassins. You may die in the academy. "

Gu Chen's expression didn't change. "Who said we have to fight him to find out his strength? There are so many ways. I just want you to bring me into the Cool Breeze Little Hut. I want to meet him first. As for whether or not to make a move, we'll talk about it later. "

Ye Qingshuang hesitated for a moment. "Alright then. There happens to be a gathering in the Breeze Villa at the Chuyun Tower tomorrow. I can take you there, but if you discover anything, you must tell me."

"Deal," Gu Chen said calmly.

"Since that's the case, you and I can be considered to be partners now. Can you let me go now?"

Ye Qingshuang looked expectant.

"I'm afraid that won't do."

Gu Chen sneered. "Before tomorrow's gathering, in order to prevent you from playing any tricks, you must stay by my side."

Once bitten, twice shy. Gu Chen had always been wary of Ye Qingshuang. He didn't want to let her go and cause trouble for himself.

Ye Qingshuang gritted her teeth. She knew that it was meaningless to waste her breath on this person. She could only do as he said.

…

The next day, Gu Chen didn't go to the library to work. Instead, he stayed in the cave for the whole day. When it was almost evening, he brought Ye Qingshuang to the Chuyun Tower.

The Chuyun Tower was in the True Martial Academy. It was the most famous restaurant in the academy. The dishes were delicious, but they were expensive. Ordinary students couldn't afford it.

However, the Chuyun Tower was booked by the Breeze Little Hut today. Only invited students were qualified to enter.

As one of the most famous clubs in the True Martial Academy, the members of the Breeze Little Hut mostly had prominent family backgrounds.

Take the club's founder, Mu Ziyu, for example. Behind her was the Azure Wood Manor, one of the five sacred sects of the Middle-earth Empire. Her Mu family had been the lineage of the Azure Wood Manor's sect master for generations.

As for the club's current leader, He Fangzheng, he was a genius ranked first on the Hidden Dragon List. He had powerful rallying power, and the He family he came from was also a prominent family.

This resulted in the Breeze Little Hut's extraordinary status. It naturally became a social circle with a high threshold. Many True Martial Academy students were proud to participate in the Breeze Little Hut's gathering.

Outside the Chuyun Tower, a man and a woman walked in.

The man was dressed in a black robe and had ordinary looks. He was the type that no one would give a second look if he was thrown into a crowd.

As for the woman, she was devastatingly beautiful. She had an aloof demeanor, as though she was a fairy that didn't belong to the mortal world.

The man and woman, who were walking side by side, attracted the attention of many passing students.

"It's Beauty Ye. That's strange. This is the first time I'm seeing her walking with a man!"

"She has always been a loner. Who is that man? He looks ordinary, but Ye Qingshuang treats him differently. His family background must not be simple!"

The students discussed animatedly. When Gu Chen heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he mocked.

"I didn't know you were so popular."

Ye Qingshuang's expression was cold, and she didn't respond.

Her cultivation was still in a sealed state, and it didn't feel good to be under someone else's control.

She walked straight to the door. When the male student in charge of reception saw her, he immediately smiled.

"Miss Ye, you're here. Welcome, come in quickly."

Although Ye Qingshuang didn't have an illustrious family background, she had the Martial Sage Physique. She had entered the Inner Yard after just one year in the academy. She was recognized as a proud daughter of the heavens. Naturally, she was qualified to participate in the Breeze Little Hut's gathering.

Gu Chen followed behind and was about to enter, but the male student immediately stopped him.

"This one looks unfamiliar. Do you have an invitation?"

He looked at Gu Chen carefully.

"I'm here with her."

Gu Chen responded indifferently and glanced at Ye Qingshuang with a warning in his eyes.

Ye Qingshuang understood and reluctantly nodded. "He's my friend. He should be able to enter, right?"

The male student hesitated for a moment. "Alright, please enter."

Gu Chen then strode into the Chuyun Tower. Ye Qingshuang followed beside him uncomfortably.

She had always been a loner in the academy and was famous for being aloof. She rarely interacted with girls of the same age, let alone with men.

Today, appearing with Gu Chen in such a crowded place would definitely attract criticism, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Swoosh swoosh.

As soon as the two entered the Chuyun Tower, many gazes were immediately cast on them.

When they discovered that the newcomers were Ye Qingshuang and an unprepossessing male that they had never seen before, many students immediately revealed surprised gazes.

"Who is the person beside Ye Qingshuang? I've never seen him before. He doesn't seem to be a student of our True Martial Arts Academy."

"No matter who he is, to be able to walk with Ye Qingshuang, he must have a powerful background. You should know that Ye Qingshuang is very arrogant. Back then, several young masters from large clans chased after her, but she ignored them all. "

"Hmph, she's also a woman who pretends to be aloof. How is that guy comparable to me?"

Whispers arose everywhere. Gu Chen's hearing was very sharp, so he heard everything and could not help but frown.
