Chapter 260

Gu Chen boarded the boat.

At this time, there were already many students from the two academies on the deck. They gathered in twos and threes, chatting and laughing.

Exquisite pastries and fruit plates were displayed on the dining table. A specially invited musician was playing, and the sound was pleasant to listen to.

He boarded the boat alone, and his attire was different from the other students, which immediately attracted many people's attention.

"Brother Guan, look!"

On one side of the deck, a group of students were chatting. A young man in the middle suddenly saw Gu Chen boarding the boat and quickly reminded the people around him.

"What's wrong? Who's here again? "

When his companion heard this, he thought it was one of the geniuses from the two academies. He couldn't help but follow his gaze, and his expression immediately became strange.

"What a coincidence! We met him again. Who is this person? "

These two people were the direct disciple of the Sulfur Light Sect, Gao Qi, and the direct disciple of the Mysterious Sky Sect, Guan Xun.

That day, they begged the Demon King for a long time, but they couldn't meet him. But when Gu Chen went, he was warmly received. They were angry, so they had a deep impression of Gu Chen.

Today, Saintess Yao had invited the young talents from the two academies. Seeing Gu Chen again made them very concerned.

"Brother Gao, Brother Guan, who are you talking about?"

A group of people next to them saw the strange expressions of the two and asked curiously.

They followed their gazes and only saw an ordinary-looking youth, who didn't even seem to be a student.

One had to know that these two were the direct disciples of the two sacred sects. One had reached the Nirvana Realm, and the other was close to it. It wouldn't be wrong to say that he was a quasi-king.

Usually, only the top students of the two academies could attract their attention.

"Do any of you know that person?"

Guan Xun's eyes flickered. He pointed at Gu Chen in the distance and asked a few True Martial Academy students next to him.

"I don't know. This person shouldn't be a student of our True Martial Academy, right? Looking at his attire, he doesn't seem to be a descendant of some big faction. "

The True Martial Academy students denied it.

"This is strange."

Guan Xun and Gao Qi looked at each other, and they were even more puzzled.

"Two brothers, what is so special about that person? Why do you care so much about him?"

Everyone's curiosity was piqued, and they started asking questions.

The two of them then told him about how they were rejected at the door when they went to see the Demon King, and how that person was treated.

"Strange, strange. That Demon Monarch Sun Jinming has a fiery temper and has never been friendly to us humans. Why is he treating this person so courteously?"

"From what the two of you have said, I'm afraid this person is not simple!"

Everyone looked at Gu Chen in the distance, and their expressions changed. Their eyes were filled with solemnity.

You really can't judge a book by its cover. If they hadn't heard what the two of them said, they would definitely have looked down on that person. It would be bad if they accidentally offended him.

"Since this person is not a student of the True Martial Academy and is so young, who is he? What is his identity?"

Guan Xun and Gao Qi had gloomy expressions on their faces. They were still brooding over this matter.

"Brothers, what are you talking about?"

At this moment, a young man approached with a flattering smile.

"Brother Wei, so it's you."

Everyone turned their heads to take a look, somewhat disapproving.

This person was called Wei Jiechao. He was originally ranked 81th in the True Martial Academy's Hidden Dragon List. His strength was not bad, and he was surrounded by a group of people.

However, a month ago, he had a fight with someone, and his group of friends were beaten half to death. Since then, he had become a laughing stock, and people rarely talked to him.

Now that he had approached them, everyone knew that he wanted to get to know the true disciples of the two Sacred Sects.

"You are also a student of the True Martial Academy? Do you know that person in the distance? "

Guan Xun and Gao Qi were depressed, so they asked casually.

Wei Jiechao was excited. It was rare for these two to take the initiative to talk to him, and it was a great opportunity to get to know them. He quickly followed their gaze.

As soon as he saw who it was, his face froze. "It's him!"

"You know him?"

Guan Xun and the others' eyes lit up.

Wei Jiechao's expression became gloomy, and he gritted his teeth in hatred. "It's more than just knowing him. It's not an exaggeration to say that we have a grudge!"

"Oh? Tell me, which big force does he belong to, or does he have an extraordinary identity? "

Gao Qi quickly asked.

"Heh, what extraordinary identity does he have? He is just a small steward of the academy's Library Tower!"

Wei Jiechao sneered. He was still angry when he thought of this.

Because of Ling Xiaoxiao, he had quarreled with Huo Haishan in the Library Tower.

Unexpectedly, this Steward Chen felt that they were too noisy, and he actually beat them up and chased them out.

After that, they were unwilling to accept it, and they gathered a group of companions to stop him, wanting to take revenge.

Who would have thought that this guy was so powerful, and that the monkey beside him was even more ferocious? They were taught a lesson, and all of them had to recuperate for a long time.

His injuries had just healed not long ago, but he still held a grudge against this matter.

Because a group of people actually lost to a man and a monkey. This matter was too embarrassing, and they didn't dare to let others know, so they concealed this news.

However, there was no such thing as a wall with a leak. Everyone knew that they were taught a lesson, and they treated it as a joke. They just didn't know who did it.

"Steward of the Library Tower?"

Wei Jiechao's reply stunned everyone, especially Guan Xun and Gao Qi. Their expressions were extremely ugly.

Previously, they felt that this person was ordinary, but because the Demon King valued him, and he attended this banquet tonight, they guessed that he might have some unknown identity.

But now that Wei Jiechao said this, they couldn't help but be furious.

He was just a small steward, and the Demon King would rather see him than them. Wasn't this clearly humiliating them?

"Are you sure what you said is true?"

Guan Xun's expression was ice cold.

"Absolutely true. If the two of you don't believe me, you can ask Huo Haishan. He can testify!"

Wei Jiechao hurriedly nodded, and his heart was moved.

From the looks of it, these two seemed to have a grudge with Steward Chen?

His mind couldn't help but become active. After he suffered a loss previously, he had always wanted to take revenge on Steward Chen, but he was helpless against him.

After his friends learned a lesson, they all admitted that they were unlucky, and refused to help him anymore.

This time, the direct disciples of the two Sacred Sects were here. If they could teach Steward Chen a lesson, then he would be able to take his revenge.

Moreover, he could also use this opportunity to form a relationship with these two people. It was killing two birds with one stone!

"Where is Huo Haishan?"

Gao Qi asked coldly.

"Brother Gao, you want to find him? Wait, I will go and call him. I will be right back! "

Wei Jiechao immediately went to find Huo Haishan, and in a short while, he brought him back.

At this time, Gu Chen saw that the banquet hadn't officially started, so he randomly found a corner to sit down, and started drinking alone.

"Do you know that person in the distance? He is just a small steward of the Library Tower of True Martial Arts Academy? "

Guan Xun saw Huo Haishan and immediately asked.

Huo Haishan glanced at Gu Chen in the distance, and quickly nodded. "Yes, Brother Guan. That guy is indeed just a small steward. Many people in the academy have seen him in the Library Tower."
