Chapter 263

"Only the three of you are left."

After a while, most of the people had been thrown off the boat and returned to the boat dripping wet. Gu Chen said coldly.

Those who had not made a move were Gao Qi, Huo Haishan, and Wei Jiechao.

Huo Haishan and Wei Jiechao were the instigators of tonight's farce. Seeing that the helpers they invited had suffered a great loss, they regretted it and wanted to retreat into the crowd.

However, when their eyes met with Gu Chen's cold eyes, they could not move away!

Gu Chen's eyes were clearly warning them. If they did not step forward, they would not be able to escape. This guy would most likely settle the score with them later!

At that time, it would not be as simple as being thrown off the boat. They would definitely have to lie in bed for a long time!

Thinking of this, the two of them smiled bitterly and stepped forward together.

"C-Manager Chen, please go easy on us."

The two of them were not afraid of losing face. After all, they had already lost face!

"If you want me to go easy on you, why don't you jump off the boat yourselves?"

Gu Chen looked at the two of them, his eyes surging with coldness.

The two of them could not help but feel their hair stand on end. They remembered the fear of being dominated by a man and an ape that day.

"This guy will definitely not let us go so easily!"

The two of them gritted their teeth. Thinking that a fracture would be considered a minor injury, they decided to jump off the boat together.

Plop. Plop.

The two of them chose to be drenched, and many students were dumbfounded.

"Useless things!"

Gao Qi, who was left behind, was so angry that his chest was about to explode!

Everyone looked at him, gloating over his misfortune.

He hesitated for a moment and really wanted to say that he should just let it go.

At this time, Guan Xun walked over.

He had already used a spell to dry his wet clothes. At this time, his expression was normal as if nothing had happened.

"Brother Gao, don't go back on your words. Otherwise, you will become a laughing stock.

"Let that guy be happy for now. It won't be too late to take revenge after tonight's banquet."

He whispered in Gao Qi's ear. Gao Qi gritted his teeth. That's right!

Once the banquet is over, I can go all out. I can get back the face I lost now!

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and rushed toward Gu Chen!

Plop.

The dignified True Inheriting Disciple of the Liu Guang Sect also fell into the water face down, looking battered and exhausted.

Guan Xun looked at Gao Qi's drenched appearance in the water and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately!

He felt much better now that everyone had lost face.

The reason why he tried to persuade him like that was because he had such thoughts in mind.

After suffering such a big loss, the group of people felt ashamed and ran to the other side of the deck, hoping that this matter would be over quickly.

Gu Chen had finally dealt with the troublemakers and thought that he could finally enjoy a moment of peace. However, he did not expect that many students would take the initiative to approach him and strike up a conversation.

When he first boarded the ship, no one paid attention to him because of his plain clothes and unattractive appearance.

But now that he had taught a lesson to a group of people, including the core disciples of the two Saint Sects, he had attracted a lot of attention. Many people were trying to befriend him.

In places like the two great academies, most of the students came from various forces. They had been influenced by their elders since young, so they naturally knew how to respect the strong.

Although they did not see Gu Chen use any Dharma Spells, based on his previous actions, they concluded that this person was not simple and wanted to get to know him better.

As the saying goes, one does not hit a smiling person. Since others wanted to befriend him, Gu Chen naturally did not put on airs. He chatted with some students and got to know many people.

Soon, he blended in with the group and did not stand out as much.

"Saintess Yao is here!"

Soon, Yao Yufei of the Sky-sea Pavilion and many handsome men and beautiful women boarded the ship while talking and laughing, immediately becoming the focus of everyone's attention.

"Qi Zeyan of the South Flower Sacred Ground, Feng Jiuqian of the Liu Guang Sect, Hong Taiyi of the Xuantian Sect, Chen Buqi of the Thousand Refinements Sacred Ground, Li Wanjun of the Langya Sacred Ground …"

"As expected, most of the new Sovereigns this year have come to the banquet!"

Many guests saw this group of people and stood up, trying to approach them and strike up a conversation.

Those who did not approach them but sat in their seats with envy on their faces.

These new king tiers from sacred grounds and sacred sects were the most popular participants in this year's Wind and Cloud Festival. A few of them were destined to make a name for themselves this year, and it wouldn't be surprising if they entered the Wind and Cloud Ranking of the Nine States.

As for the others, they were destined to only serve as foils for them. Even though the Central Plains' royal family had set up a new imperial reward this year, everyone felt that the person who would receive the reward would definitely be among these few.

These new Kings were like stars surrounding the moon, shining brightly.

Even Guan Xun, Gao Qi, and the others who had just been embarrassed gathered around their Senior Brother with smiles on their faces, temporarily forgetting about what had happened earlier.

Gu Chen did not join in the fun. His eyes were focused on Yao Yufei of the Horizon Sea Pavilion.

He hadn't paid much attention to Yao Yufei during the Storm Gathering, but she was indeed a beauty.

She had a head of dark red long hair and exquisite facial features. Although her skin was darker than the average woman's, she appeared healthier and more radiant. She exuded a heroic spirit that was rare among women.

"Imperial Tutor Shen is here!"

Not long after, the Great Scholar Shen Xudong arrived with a few other scholars.

Immediately, with Saintess Yao in the lead, everyone hurriedly went forward to welcome them.

"No need to be so polite, everyone."

Shen Xudong was still dressed like a scholar, gentle, elegant, and approachable.

Gu Chen glanced behind him and was greatly disappointed when he didn't see his mother's figure.

After everyone had arrived, the banquet officially began.

Imperial Tutor Shen sat on the main seat and interacted with many students, answering some of their questions from time to time.

This Great Scholar was knowledgeable, and his words and words were at his fingertips. Although he didn't touch on cultivation methods, he was able to comprehend things by analogy, enlightening many people.

Gu Chen listened attentively. This grandfather was indeed astonishingly knowledgeable, and his words and actions were very refined, making it hard for people to dislike him.

From him, Gu Chen could see some of his mother's shadow. His mother's knowledge and reason must have been taught by this grandfather.

"The Old Man still has some official documents to deal with, so let's call it a night. There are still about ten days to the Gathering, so I'll discuss it with everyone again if I have the chance. "

After speaking for an hour, Shen Xudong stood up and left.

As the Imperial Tutor, even if he came to participate in the two-school banquet, there were still many official matters that required his attention.

It was already a great surprise that he could come, and everyone stood up to send him off.

"Take care, Imperial Tutor."

After Shen Xudong left, the atmosphere of the banquet became even more lively. This was originally an occasion for students to socialize and have fun, and without elders, it was even more like a fish in water.

Gu Chen stayed for a while, then quietly left the pleasure boat.

He had originally come with the idea of seeing the Shen family, but since they had left, he naturally had no reason to stay.

As soon as he left the pleasure boat, he sensed that there were several students watching him from behind. A few of them chased after him, while the rest turned back to call for help.

He knew that it was the group of people he had offended tonight who wanted to get back at him, so he couldn't help but shake his head.

"I can't be bothered with you."

There were no benefits, and beating them to death would only cause trouble. He didn't have the mood to be entangled with this group of people, so he used the Treading Stars and Moon Steps to shake off the people following him in a few steps.

He returned to True Martial Academy, and as he passed through a desolate area, the surrounding sky suddenly darkened, and the moonlight and starlight in the night sky also disappeared!

Gu Chen's pupils suddenly shrank, and his body tensed up!
