Chapter 598

In a restaurant not far from the Blue Afterglow Villa, the lights were bright and people were coming in and out. It was very lively.

Today, Fairy Ding Yao of the Moon Palace was hosting a banquet here. All the young talents of the famous forces on the continent had received invitations.

When Gu Chen and the other two arrived outside the restaurant, the two female disciples of the Vast Cold Palace who were guarding the door immediately noticed them and solemnly welcomed them inside.

Their politeness made many of the young talents in the restaurant immediately realize that the three people coming were not simple.

"Which force are these three from? They aren't wearing sect robes. They should be descendants of aristocratic families, right?"

"Hey, don't you recognize that beauty? That's Gu Ziyan from the Gu clan. The one beside her is Gu Shenming. I haven't seen the other one before, but he should also be a descendant of the Gu clan. "

"Someone from the Gu clan?"

The eyes of the people who were discussing lit up, and many people tried to talk to them.

Everyone knew that the Gu clan was the top aristocratic family on the Immortal Spirit Continent. This aristocratic family had always been very mysterious, and there weren't many opportunities to see their descendants.

Moreover, Gu Ziyan was as beautiful as a fairy, which made some of the young talents fantasize and hope to get the beauty's attention.

Thus, Gu Chen and the other two were surrounded by many people who wanted to talk to them.

Gu Ziyan smiled politely, but she felt helpless when she saw the crowd blocking her way.

"Scram!"

At this moment, Gu Shenming said coldly, and the domineering aura in his body slightly leaked out.

The expressions of the surrounding young talents changed, and they hurriedly retreated, not daring to block the way of the three!

"Please."

The female disciple of the Moon Palace took the opportunity to invite the three to a private room upstairs.

"Cousin Shenming, you were really fierce just now." Gu Ziyan covered her mouth and chuckled when no one was around.

Gu Shenming shook his head. "There are people everywhere who want to build connections with the Gu clan. If I don't pretend to be fierce, there will be no end to the socializing tonight."

Gu Chen agreed. Those people really didn't know how to appreciate favors.

The three sat down in the private room, and they could see downstairs through the window.

Those with more distinguished identities, such as the true disciples of the 68 Immortal Sects, were all brought to the private rooms upstairs by the Moon Palace.

Most of the people downstairs were disciples of second-rate sects or aristocratic families. There were also a few young rogue cultivators with some reputation.

Gu Chen's group of three sat for a while before Ding Yao came in. The maidservant behind her carried a tray with a wine pot and wine cups.

"Zi Yan, Young Masters Gu, welcome."

After not seeing Ding Yao for four to five months, her temperament had become even more ethereal, like a fairy from the Moon Palace.

Gu Chen casually scanned with his Divine Senses and found that the other party had also stepped into the Transcendence Realm.

Back during the Oceansky Banquet, many of her and the other true disciples of the various Immortal Sects had been at the Celestial Being Bottleneck. However, they had suppressed their cultivation in order to advance further.

Now that he had chosen to condense his Dharma Power, it was unclear whether it was because he had been stimulated by his crushing defeat at his hands, or because it was a natural breakthrough.

"Young Master Gu, I hope you can forgive me for offending you on Penglai Island. This matter has always been on my mind, making me feel very guilty and remorseful. Today, I will drink three cups of wine as punishment. I hope Young Master Gu will forgive me. "

Ding Yao quickly walked up to Gu Chen with an apologetic look in her eyes. She took the wine cup from the tray, saluted Gu Chen with both hands, and drank it solemnly.

After drinking three cups in a row, she coughed a few times, and her pretty face was even redder.

"Cousin Gu Chen, Yao rarely drinks. Today, she drinks three cups of wine as punishment. It can be seen that she is sincerely apologizing." Gu Ziyan immediately helped Ding Yao.

Gu Chen scrutinized Ding Yao. When they met again this time, the other party's attitude was indeed very humble, as if the previous grievances had been written off.

However, Gu Chen would not forget that at the Oceansky Banquet, when the other party thought that he was a member of the Gu Clan, she was also polite and polite, but when she suspected that he was a fake, her whole face immediately changed.

After that, she even colluded with Xiao Jing to ambush him, trying to kill him.

This woman seemed to have an outstanding temperament, but in fact, she was very sophisticated.

However, this had nothing to do with Gu Chen. As long as she didn't provoke him again, he would give face to Zi Yan.

"Fairy Ding, you're exaggerating. We don't have many deep conflicts."

Gu Chen took a cup of wine from the tray and drank it up.

Ding Yao heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this.

"Then Childe Gu, you can eat here first. I still have some guests to receive. I'll call you when the trade fair starts."

Ding Yao chatted for a while and then left, because she could see that Gu Chen's attitude towards her was very cold, and he obviously didn't want to talk more.

Not long after Ding Yao left, people came to visit one after another.

It seemed that they had discussed it. The inherited disciples of the major Immortal Sects who had attacked Gu Chen on Penglai Island came to him one by one to apologize.

Their words were sincere, and they were no longer as aggressive as they used to be.

"Zi Yan, did you tell them something?"

When everyone left, Gu Chen frowned and asked Gu Ziyan, who was beside him.

These people came to apologize together as if they had discussed it. It was reasonable to say that they didn't have to do this.

After all, they all had the support of the Immortal Sects. Even if they didn't apologize, he wouldn't easily make trouble for them.

But they still did this, which meant that they must be afraid. Therefore, he first guessed that Gu Ziyan might have said something.

If these people knew that he had won the first place in the Gu Clan's meeting and obtained a great fortune in the Ancestor's Land, then it was reasonable for them to do this. It could be understood that they didn't want to make a strong enemy.

But this was a private matter within the Gu Clan, and it was also related to his own privacy. If Gu Ziyan told others, he would be a little unhappy.

"Ding Yao took the initiative to ask me about cousin Gu Chen, so I told her that cousin Gu Chen would come to the Immortal Ascension Grand Assembly. I didn't say anything else."

Gu Ziyan understood Gu Chen's meaning and quickly explained.

She also didn't understand why so many people came to apologize. Even she was surprised by such a large number of people.

As the two were talking about this, a new guest entered the room. This time, when Gu Chen saw who it was, his eyes turned cold.

It was Tiandao Sect's Xiao Jing!

"Brother Gu, how have you been?"

When he saw Xiao Jing again, the aftereffects of the Heavenly Emperor's Time Fist had disappeared, and he had also broken through to the Transcendence Realm.

He greeted Gu Chen and walked up to him uncomfortably.

"You're here to apologize too?"

Gu Chen looked at Xiao Jing mockingly. Previously, under the pressure of cousin Lian Yue, Xiao Jing had knelt down and apologized to him in public. Wouldn't he be throwing away his dignity if he apologized again this time?

This made him feel that things were very interesting. So many people came to apologize. What was going on?

"After the incident on Penglai Immortal Island, I thought about it and felt that what I did to Brother Gu was really too much. So when I heard that you were here today, I specially came to toast and apologize. I will punish myself with ten cups. Brother Gu, you can do as you please! "
