Chapter 74

"What happened, Senior Chen?"

A large number of people from the Huang Residence rushed over, led by Huang Fei.

The walls of the courtyard had collapsed, and there were holes everywhere. Gu Chen's roof was damaged. It was a ghastly sight.

"Nothing."

Gu Chen looked at the place where the black-clothed man had disappeared and answered casually with a thoughtful look on his face.

The people of the Huang Clan couldn't help but look at each other. A bitter smile appeared on Huang Fei's face.

"Senior Chen, what happened during the day was really awkward, but please don't take it to heart. Let's get along like before, okay?"

She was sad that Gu Chen refused to marry her during the day, but she was older than a sixteen or seventeen year old girl. She had a strong heart and had adjusted to the situation.

She had already thought it through. The reason Gu Chen had given her was very normal. A man of his age with such a high cultivation level would not be a man who was interested in romance.

She made up her mind. As the saying goes, the pavilion closest to the water enjoys the moonlight first. As long as she stayed by his side, she would be able to touch his heart one day.

She liked this outstanding young man from the bottom of her heart.

However, she did not expect that Gu Chen would not tell her about the commotion at his place. She immediately thought that he was still upset about what happened during the day and was deliberately distancing himself from her. She felt lonely.

Gu Chen came back to his senses and shook his head. "Miss Huang, you misunderstood me. I was not upset about what happened during the day. I was just thinking about the assassin."

"Assassin?"

Huang Fei's face tightened. "An assassin broke into the Huang Residence and tried to assassinate Senior Chen? Did Senior Chen see his face clearly? Who sent him? "

Gu Chen scrutinized her. The worry on Huang Fei's face did not seem to be fake. If she was faking it, then her acting skills were too terrifying.

"Don't worry, it's just a little thief."

He smiled brightly.

She asked many times, but Gu Chen refused to tell her the details. Huang Fei had to leave some people to clean the courtyard and invite Gu Chen to sleep in another courtyard.

On one hand, it was because there was a big hole in Gu Chen's roof. On the other hand, she wanted to strengthen the protection of Gu Chen.

Today, the Huang Family had just unified the Greedy Wolf City, and Master Chen was ambushed in the middle of the night. It was obvious that someone did not want to see the Huang Family doing well.

Although Gu Chen's strength did not require their protection, etiquette was still a must. Right now, he was their greatest backer.

Gu Chen didn't even think about it before refusing. He even ordered the Huang Family to leave and leave the matter of cleaning up the courtyard until tomorrow.

After everyone had left, Gu Chen's expression turned cold. His divine sense spread out and locked onto a certain direction in the depths of the Huang Estate.

The Wings of Wind sprang up from his back once again, stirring up a cool breeze.

He traversed the void and leaped over layers of eaves. Not long after, he landed in a courtyard filled with epiphyllum.

The door to the courtyard was tightly shut, and the lights had long been extinguished. It seemed that the person inside had been asleep for a long time.

"Old Master Huang, come out," he said coldly.

This was Huang Pingzhang's residence. Upon hearing his words, there was no response from inside.

"Do you want me to destroy the place you live in before you're willing to come out?"

"Or do you want me to lure the entire Huang Family here, and I'll kill a few of them?"

As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, a sigh came from inside the house. Huang Pingzhang opened the door and walked out.

Old Master Huang's body was hunched over, and he looked at Gu Chen with a serious expression. "How can you be sure that I was the one who ambushed you tonight?"

"In the entire Greedy Wolf City, aside from you, who else has the ability to fight me?"

"That's not a reason. Who knows if it was your old enemy who came looking for you? Also, your performance today has attracted the attention of the Cloud Sect. They are in charge of this area, so it's not impossible for them to attack you. "

Huang Pingzhang shook his head.

"My old enemy? What do you know? "

Gu Chen's eyebrows twitched as he thought about where he might have exposed himself.

"The Underworld Movement Technique is a skill of the Underworld Palace, isn't it? Isn't it normal for an assassin to have enemies?

"Also, the Wings of Wind originally belonged to Master Qian, didn't they? The disturbance in the Greedy Wolf City was indeed caused by you. Everything that happened today was within your calculations. "

Huang Pingzhang's words were equivalent to admitting that he was the assassin tonight. If he hadn't fought with Gu Chen, he definitely wouldn't have been able to detect all this.

Gu Chen was surprised by the sharpness of the other's eyes, but he also understood that the other did not know his real identity. He let out a sigh of relief.

A hundred thoughts flashed through his mind.

"You still haven't answered the Old Man. How can you be so sure that it was the Old Man who did it?"

Huang Pingzhang was a little confused. The assassin he was disguised as tonight was very different from him, and the skills and techniques he used were also very different from his usual self.

Logically speaking, even if Gu Chen had doubts, he wouldn't be so sure that it was him.

Gu Chen glanced at him, "Indeed, the man in black tonight was good at spear art, which was different from Master Huang who was good at archery. His temperament and appearance were also very different."

"Especially during the day when you and I met for the first time, you wanted to marry your own granddaughter to me, and you looked very grateful. Why do you look like you are plotting against me?"

The corner of his mouth raised into a sarcastic smile.

"It seems that the play during the day was a bit over the top." Huang Pingzhang touched his chin.

"Also, since you already know that I killed Qian Fengbao, I might as well make it clear."

"On the night when Qian Fengbao died, I pretended to be an assassin to kill him, and he mistook me for you. Only then did I know that you have some relationship with the dark forces."

Huang Pingzhang sighed, "It seems that this is the main reason why you are so sure that the Old Man was the assassin tonight."

Gu Chen shook his head, "In fact, I wasn't sure before I came here. I was just trying to trick you, until you admitted it yourself."

Huang Pingzhang couldn't help laughing, "You are really slippery."

Clang!

Gu Chen suddenly pulled out the Hongtai heavy sword and stabbed it into the ground, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

"I have already answered your question. Now it's your turn to answer me. According to your answer, there will be different results. "

Gu Chen's eyes were filled with coldness, and the courtyard was filled with invisible killing intent!

Huang Pingzhang's face was solemn, and he took out the long spear from before. "Ask away!"

"First, why did you want to kill me?"

Huang Pingzhang's face was calm, "In the battle during the day, your performance was really shocking. It's true that you helped my Huang family a lot, but just think about what happened to the Lan family, people like Consecrated Elder are ultimately unreliable. "

"You are too strong. After the Old Man passed away, it would be easy for him to destroy my Huang family and replace me. The Old Man didn't know how big your ambition was, and whether you would be more terrifying than the Lan family and the Qian family, so he made his move. "

"The truth proved that the Old Man's idea was right. It was you who secretly destroyed the Qian family, which proved that you wanted to stir up trouble in the Greedy Wolf City. You have already destroyed the Qian family and the Lan family, so it wouldn't be strange for you to destroy my Huang family next, right? "
