Chapter 94
When the Smoke Cloud Sect was robbed, the thief came and went without a trace. He had never been discovered.
However, the white ape lived in the Huang Mansion and came and went all day long. How could Huang Pingzhang not notice anything?
Now was the perfect time for Gu Chen to talk to him about this. He wanted him to tell the little monkey to restrain itself. It would be bad if it got into trouble one day.
Gu Chen felt a headache coming on. He glared at the white ape, but it put on an innocent expression, as if it was wronged.
"You better restrain yourself. Don't blame me for not helping you if something happens one day."
Gu Chen said grumpily. The white ape nodded repeatedly, looking obedient and remorseful.
"This monkey is smart. It's good that it knows it's wrong."
Huang Pingzhang praised. To be honest, this beast was the first one he had seen in his life. It was too smart.
He had also observed its speed from afar. It was the biggest enemy of archers like him. The speed of his arrows could not keep up with the ape's speed.
"It's just pretending. I'll be thankful if it can restrain itself a little."
Gu Chen shook his head. The more readily the white ape agreed, the more it didn't care.
This monkey's wild nature was hard to tame. He had not been in the Greedy Wolf City recently. No wonder it was getting more and more arrogant.
"The Smoke Cloud Sect doesn't know that Fellow Daoist Chen was involved in the robbery. They don't even know what the thief looks like. If Fellow Daoist Chen really wants them to help, it's not a problem."
"However, Fellow Daoist Chen must remember one thing. When dealing with them, you can only appear as an assassin from the Celestial Court. Do not let them know that you are Chen Gu."
"As an assassin from the Celestial Court, you are destined to make many enemies in the future. If your real identity is known, there will be no end of trouble."
Huang Pingzhang reminded.
"Fellow Daoist Huang is right. I will think about it carefully." Gu Chen nodded.
"If you have any difficulties, ask the Old Man for help." Huang Pingzhang said.
The two parted ways. Gu Chen returned to his own residence.
The night passed without incident.
At noon the next day, Gu Chen's Star and Moon Bracelet flashed with green light.
This was the signal released by Skynet, indicating that the number of people in the team had been gathered!
Gu Chen's spirits were lifted. He immediately headed for the nearest Heavenly Gate and entered the Mystery Realm of the Celestial Court in Baijing Mansion.
Outside the Merit Square, when Gu Chen arrived, the other nine members were already there.
When he saw the appearance of two of them, his expression changed slightly.
Both Qian Jue Granny and Shi Cong were here!
Was it a coincidence?
He didn't think so. His heart was filled with coldness as he walked forward.
"Mr. Chen, we meet again."
As soon as Shi Cong saw Gu Chen, his smile turned hideous and complacent.
Qian Jue Granny laughed dryly with a hoarse voice and did not say anything else.
Gu Chen was expressionless as he thought about how the two of them knew that he had accepted this mission and purposely stuck to him.
"Looks like everyone is here. Things are urgent. Let's set off for Seven Kill City now. As for the specifics of the investigation, we'll talk about it on the way. "
A Bronze Assassin said when he saw that Gu Chen had arrived.
Everyone nodded. They had no objections. At that moment, Gu Chen spoke. "Wait, I still have something to do. Let's gather tomorrow morning."
As soon as he said that, all the assassins frowned. They looked unhappy.
Shouldn't they take care of things in advance?
Wouldn't he be wasting everyone's time by saying that now?
"Chen, you're not thinking of running away, are you?"
Shi Cong's expression darkened. "Don't forget that this is your first mission since you joined the Celestial Court. You'll be severely punished if you give up on your first mission."
"I can run away now, but I can't run away forever." Qian Jue Granny's eyes turned cold.
"Run away?" The other seven assassins were shocked. Looking at the two sides, they immediately knew that there was a conflict between them.
"I'm warning you. The three of you have just joined the Celestial Court. I'm afraid that you'll be a burden to us. If you cause any more internal strife and affect our mission, I won't forgive you!"
The assassin who spoke first said in a cold tone.
The other assassins expressed their agreement as well. The three inexperienced newbies could easily cause problems. Internal strife would only make things worse.
"Heh, it's not up to you to say what I want to do."
Qian Jue Granny did not care about their threats. Her tone was bone-chilling. "It's fine as long as we can complete the mission. You can keep your mouths shut to protect yourselves."
Her arrogant attitude enraged the seven assassins.
"B * stard! Who do you think you are, old hag? A Silver Assassin? "
"You've just joined the Celestial Court and you're already so arrogant. Don't you know how to respect your seniors?"
Qian Jue Granny slammed her skeleton walking stick on the ground, drowning out everyone's criticism. "If anyone has any objections, come and fight me after we leave the Celestial Court's Arcane Realm!"
As soon as she said that, a few of them had a slight change in expression. They dared not speak for a moment.
Although they were more experienced, they were also Bronze Assassins. Their strength was at Divine-Tier. How many of them could be a match for Qian Jue Granny?
She must have her reasons for being so arrogant. No one was willing to be killed by her during a mission.
"I don't care how you guys argue. I have something to do today anyway. Let's meet outside Kill City tomorrow morning!"
Gu Chen said coldly.
The seven assassins were enraged. How could these newbies be so arrogant? They were doing whatever they wanted!
"Kid, I won't let you get away."
Qian Jue Granny glared at Gu Chen with murderous intent.
"Old hag, I have no grudge against you. It's just that you're not as skilled as others and failed to get first place in the assessment. So, you're plotting to kill me. Is there such logic in this world?"
Gu Chen sneered. He did not hide anything and went straight to the point.
"Logic? You're still too young. I've been in Baijing Prefecture for so many years. Logic has always been decided with my fists. "
Qian Jue Granny said disdainfully.
"Alright. That's simple and crude."
Gu Chen was so angry that he laughed. At this moment, he was filled with murderous intent toward Qian Jue Granny and Shi Cong who was standing beside her.
This mission was related to the Nether God Palace. There were many uncertainties. Since these two were here to join in the fun, he would play with them!
"Don't worry. I won't run away. If I run away, it's the same as giving up on the mission. The rules of the Celestial Court won't let me off.
I'll be outside Kill City tomorrow morning! "
After saying that, Gu Chen turned around and strode away, ignoring the rest of the assassins.
His words were powerful. Qian Jue Granny did not chase after him. Her eyes flickered.
"Senior, are you really going to let him leave? What if he really runs away? "
Shi Cong said hurriedly.
"What else can we do? Fight him here? "
Qian Jue Granny sneered. "He's not lying. That look in his eyes can't lie. He really wants to end things with me."
"If that's the case, let him live for one more day. Tomorrow will be the day he dies! "
