Chapter 338

"Since there is hope to find clues about your father, then go. Don't worry about Mother. A man's ambition is to travel far and wide. Don't tell me you have to worry about Mother everywhere you go? "

Shen Yu Shu always had a temperament that had settled down from worldly experience and could convince Gu Chen with just a few words.

"This child understands, but what about Mother?" Gu Chen was worried.

"I have stayed in the Shen fu for the past year and read countless books. The ancients said that reading ten thousand books is not as good as walking ten thousand li. Mother plans to take Xiao Qiu to travel the world. "

Shen Yu Shu smiled.

"Isn't that too dangerous?"

Gu Chen frowned. If it was in the imperial capital, the Huangfu Family would not dare to do anything brazenly but it was different outside.

One had to know that the Huangfu Family did not make a move on his mother because they needed the Shen family. But now that they had suffered such a big loss in his hands, they would not have so many concerns.

"Don't worry about Mother, Mother is not without protective methods."

Shen Yu Shu was calm.

Gu Chen was very suspicious of these words and wanted to say more, but Shen Yu Shu had already made up her mind and did not allow him to interfere.

Only sons listened to their mothers. Moreover, in his family, Mother always had the most authority.

"Alright, I can promise Mother, but Mother must promise me one thing."

After thinking for a while, Gu Chen took off a necklace with a bead on it from his chest.

This bead was called the Life Changing Bead. It was a magic treasure bestowed to him by the old Celestial Emperor when he destroyed all the halls of the Underworld Deity Palace in Qing Province.

This magic treasure could only be used once and could be used at a critical moment. It was equivalent to having an extra life.

In the entire Celestial Court, the number of people bestowed this treasure by the Celestial Emperor would not exceed ten. It was considered very valuable.

Gu Chen gave this treasure to his mother so that she could carry it with her at all times so that he could be at ease.

Gu Chen stated his request and Shen Yu Shu readily agreed.

After leaving his mother's place, Gu Chen summoned a Celestial Court assassin and had him issue a mission at the Merit Market.

He decided to hire one or two Gold-ranked assassins to protect his mother and Little Qiu in secret. Only then could he be completely at ease.

The value of a Gold-ranked Assassin was so high that it would be expensive to hire him as a bodyguard, but for his mother's safety, Gu Chen didn't mind.

The efficiency of this task was surprisingly high. Gu Chen had just arranged for someone to issue it. He thought that it would take a lot of time, but he didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to accept the task in just two hours.

"Gu Daozi, leave this task to me. I will protect your mother with my life."

The applicant was Yang Zhen. These days, she had followed her brother to the Imperial Capital to participate in missions. Seeing that Gu Chen was like a rising star, she had already firmed her determination to cling to his thigh.

When she heard about this mission, she volunteered without hesitation.

One had to know that this was Gu Daozi's mother. She might even be the mother of the future Sky Emperor!

Gu Chen would definitely be grateful to her for maintaining a good relationship with her and protecting her safety.

In exchange for Gu Chen's attention, she would accept this mission even if there was no reward!

Gu Chen roughly understood Yang Zhen's inner thoughts and agreed to her accepting this mission.

Although this woman was a bit of a utilitarian, because of this, she would be more dedicated to his mother's matter.

In addition, he knew her inside out. No matter what, it would be more reassuring than finding a Gold-ranked assassin whom he was not familiar with.

With his mother's matter settled, the biggest worry in Gu Chen's heart was removed.

There was only one person he needed to bid farewell to.

…

In the Imperial Palace, the eaves of the Princess' quarters were filled with stars.

The night breeze blew gently, bringing with it the coolness of autumn.

"How long will you be gone this time?"

Ji Lanchu sat next to Gu Chen and asked softly.

The night breeze lifted her hair, revealing the side of her delicate and flawless face.

Gu Chen didn't reply. He had always been a wanderer, so how could he explain it clearly?

If he couldn't make a promise, he might as well not make one.

Seeing that Gu Chen didn't say anything, Ji Lanchu didn't ask any more questions. She tilted her head and gently leaned on his broad shoulder.

The two of them were silent, their backs merging into one under the moonlight.

After a long time, the moon gradually disappeared and the east began to brighten. Gu Chen knew that it was time for him to leave.

He came to the Imperial Palace to see Ji Lanchu, wanting to explain, but he didn't expect that she didn't ask anything, as if she already knew everything.

In the eyes of outsiders, the two of them were currently engaged, but Gu Chen had a great hatred in his heart and purposely obscured this matter. She was understanding and chose to ignore this matter.

She was so calm and elegant, understanding the cold and warm. Gu Chen thought that this might be the reason why he cared more about her than other women.

"I should go," Gu Chen said.

Ji Lanchu was finally willing to leave Gu Chen's shoulder. The two of them stood up, and she helped him adjust his collar.

"I have something to give you," she said gently.

She said gently and took out a pair of jade bracelets from her storage ring.

The jade bracelets were sparkling and translucent. There was a tiny golden dragon swimming in one, and an immortal phoenix flying in the other. It was a very strange sight.

"This Dragon Phoenix Heart Linking Bracelet was given to me by my grandfather. It was originally a pair, and he said that when I met someone I liked in the future, I would give the dragon bracelets to that person.

"With this bracelet, as long as we have each other in our hearts, we will not be separated no matter how far apart we are.

"This jade bracelet is for you. I hope you remember that you still have me in Luoyang."

Ji Lanchu blushed and personally helped Gu Chen put on the dragon bracelet.

This was equivalent to a token of love. Gu Chen understood.

This girl hadn't said anything the entire night, pretending to be natural and unrestrained. But when he really had to leave, he still couldn't bear to.

"I'll wear it at all times."

Gu Chen promised.

"Mm."

Ji Lanchu grunted softly. At this moment, the sun rose from the east, and the first ray of sunlight shone on the two of them.

They hugged each other warmly and silently.

Gu Chen finally left the bustling imperial capital on a quiet morning to track down Huangfu De.

He stayed in the imperial capital for a very short time. In the long history of the capital, it was just a drop in the ocean. But when he left, the tens of millions of people in Luoyang already remembered the word 'overlord'.

Almost at the same time that Gu Chen left the imperial capital, Yangzhou's Jiang family welcomed an uninvited guest!

Huangfu Wuji wore the Underworld God Robe and turned into the emperor of the dark world. He stepped into the Jiang Residence.

And beside him followed the Man with a Bamboo Hat and many Dark Sky Guards.

If someone was here and saw this scene, the person would surely be extremely shocked. Because everyone in the entire Imperial Capital thought that Huangfu Wuji was still in his estate at this moment, and he was extremely sad and dispirited because of the death of his grandson.

"Welcome, Fellow Daoist Huangfu. Apologies for not going out to meet you."

In the Jiang Residence, the number one prophet of the Fated Family, Jiang Zishang, sat in his seat. He seemed to have expected Huangfu Wuji's arrival and said calmly.

Huangfu Wuji stepped over the threshold, glanced at the surroundings, and said indifferently. "Where did everyone go?"

"This old man knows that a disaster is imminent. In order to avoid implicating the innocent, I have already dismissed everyone in my Jiang Residence. Therefore, Fellow Daoist Huangfu can be at ease. I also hope that you can let them go in the future."

Huangfu Wuji snorted coldly. "The old prophet is indeed a divine strategist."

"Today, I came here to ask you about something."

He came in front of the old prophet and said.

"Back then, the old prophet used the forbidden divine ability of the Astrology Chess Hand to change the fate of Qingming who was still in his mother's womb. He was born with a Dao body and was enveloped by providence, flourishing forever."

"All these years, I have always been grateful to you for this."

"But why did Qingming's providence suddenly disappear during this martial competition? He didn't even have time to strengthen my Huangfu family before he died."
