Chapter 225

Chu Yun Tower was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.

The scene in front of them was too unbelievable.

That insignificant manager had just slapped Zhu Yilun, the young master of the Zhu family, who was ranked eighth on the Hidden Dragons Leaderboard. Everyone thought that he would retaliate in anger, but who would have thought that he would turn around and slap his new girlfriend instead?

Was there something wrong with Zhu Yilun's brain?

The same thought surfaced in everyone's mind.

"Brother Zhu, why did you hit me?"

Ling Xiaoxiao touched her swollen face and panicked. Her eyes turned red and she looked like she was about to cry.

"B * tch, scram!"

She did not expect Zhu Yilun to only reply angrily. His face was filled with disgust.

Ling Xiaoxiao's face turned pale. She had just been slapped by her boyfriend and called a b * tch. How was she going to face others in the future?

What was going on?

Everything was fine just now. Why did Zhu Yilun suddenly turn against her?

"Brother Zhu, are you mistaken?"

She asked in a panic.

"I'm not mistaken."

Zhu Yilun's expression was cold. "You only know how to sow discord. How dare you instigate a fight between me and Childe Chen? I almost made a huge mistake. You deserve a beating!"

"Childe Chen?"

The students in Chu Yun Tower were in an uproar.

Wasn't that ordinary-looking young man just a lowly manager of the library?

Why was Zhu Yilun suddenly so polite to him and even forgave him for being slapped?

Anyone could tell that he was trying to find a way out of this embarrassing situation. He was trying to push all the blame onto Ling Xiaoxiao.

It was as if he was afraid of offending Chen Gu!

"What's going on? Is Zhu Yilun bewitched? "

Mu Ziyu, who was upstairs, was extremely shocked. She did not expect such a drastic change in the situation.

The way the students looked at Gu Chen changed. Shock, confusion, and all sorts of other expressions appeared on their faces.

"Brother Zhu, why would you say that? What's wrong? Did he do something to you? "

Ling Xiaoxiao asked anxiously in disbelief.

"It's you. You must have used some kind of illusion technique on Brother Zhu. That's why he can't tell right from wrong!"

She pointed at Gu Chen angrily, unable to accept her embarrassment.

Many students fell into contemplation. Ling Xiaoxiao's words might make sense!

The contrast between Zhu Yilun and before was too great!

"Even if he was under an illusion, Zhu Yilun is an expert ranked eighth on the Hidden Dragon Ranking. His mind was controlled by someone without him realizing it, and so many of us here didn't notice it at all. Just how powerful is that Chen Gu?"

Someone immediately muttered, understanding the crux of the matter. They all sucked in a breath of cold air.

If Ling Xiaoxiao's guess was right, then Chen Gu's terror had only increased!

Only then did everyone remember that with Ye Qingshuang's arrogance, how could she possibly fancy a mere manager?

Perhaps they had underestimated him from the very beginning. This ordinary-looking fellow definitely had a great background!

"Oh no, I tried to chase him away after saying a few words earlier. Could he have heard it?"

A few of them regretted their rude words earlier. They quietly retreated into the crowd, afraid of being discovered by Gu Chen.

"Illusion technique? I'm very clear-headed! "

Zhu Yilun laughed out of anger. "Ling Xiaoxiao, if you know what's good for you, then leave Chuyun Restaurant. Don't force me to chase you away."

"You still want to chase me away?"

Ling Xiaoxiao felt greatly humiliated. She glared at Gu Chen hatefully. "It's all your fault! What did you do to him!"

She screamed and charged at Gu Chen, wanting to hit him.

Pa!

Gu Chen stood on the spot without moving. Instead, Zhu Yilun stepped forward and gave Ling Xiaoxiao another slap.

This slap was extremely heavy, causing Ling Xiaoxiao's hair to become disheveled. She no longer had the slightest bit of charm.

"If you dare to be rude to Young Master Chen again, don't blame me for being impolite."

Zhu Yilun's expression was cold as he threatened.

"Young Master Chen! Where did he come from? Is he worth you fawning over like a servant? "

Ling Xiaoxiao said hysterically. She had never expected that the guy whom she had judged to have no background a few days ago would be fawning over by Young Master Zhu, whom she had finally managed to hook up with!

If she had known this would happen, she would not have given up on what was close at hand and ended up in such a pathetic state!

"Get out!"

Zhu Yilun responded coldly, not bothering to explain anything.

His merciless treatment of his new girlfriend caused many of the students' hearts to tremble.

Just what was Chen Gu's background that he could make Zhu Yilun go to such extremes!

"Alright, let's just forget about this."

Gu Chen could not help but frown when he saw that the two of them were in such an ugly state.

He had indeed asked Zhu Yilun to teach Ling Xiaoxiao a lesson, but he did not expect him to go to such extremes.

The other party was a girl after all. It was just a quarrel earlier. There was no need to go to such extremes.

"Understood, Young Master Chen."

Zhu Yilun hurriedly turned around and smiled. "It must be Young Master Chen's first time attending a gathering at the Little Breeze Lodge. Please, let's have a chat in the private room."

He immediately accompanied Gu Chen and left, leaving Ling Xiaoxiao alone in a daze.

This farce ended just like that. Many students looked at Ling Xiaoxiao with sympathy, but there were also many who felt that she deserved it.

Zhu Yilun led Gu Chen and Ye Qingshuang to an empty private room on the second floor and whispered a few words to Gu Chen.

"Yes, I understand."

Zhu Yilun answered and left soon after, leaving Gu Chen and Ye Qingshuang behind. Gu Chen and Ye Qingshuang didn't know what they talked about.

"How did you do it?"

Ye Qingshuang could not help but ask as soon as Zhu Yilun left.

She was by Gu Chen's side and witnessed the entire process, but she did not understand what had happened.

Ling Xiaoxiao thought that Gu Chen had cast an illusion on Zhu Yilun. She had the same guess, but she soon found that Zhu Yilun's eyes were clear and his speech was clear. He didn't look like someone who had been fooled by an illusion, so she was immediately confused.

This Celestial Court's quasi-Daozi, Chen Gu, was becoming more and more mysterious in her eyes.

"This is a secret, I can't tell you."

Gu Chen replied casually as he looked at Zhu Yilun's departing figure outside the window, deep in thought.

Ye Qingshuang suffered a setback and did not speak again. She just sat there unhappily.

This guy had dug out all of her information, but he was not willing to tell her anything.

Compared to Jiang Yige, he was even more dishonest and difficult to deal with!

After a while, seeing that Gu Chen was just sitting there and drinking tea, Ye Qingshuang could not help but ask.

"Aren't we here to test He Fangzheng? What's the point of just sitting here? "

Gu Chen sipped his tea unhurriedly. "Don't be anxious, He Fangzheng is not here yet. When he arrives, someone will naturally introduce me."

Ye Qingshuang's heart stirred when she heard this, and a look of realization appeared on her face.

"I understand now, that Zhu Yilun is a member of your Celestial Court!"
