Chapter 983
In the private room, the noise from the outside world was isolated by the formation that Jiang Baiming had deliberately set up.
In front of Gu Chen, Ji Lanchu, Mu Ziyu, Shi Jian, and Qi Zeyan were all present.
After reuniting with his old friends after a long time, Gu Chen was silent. He slowly removed his disguise and revealed his original appearance.
Everyone could not help but feel excited when they saw the familiar face that they had not seen for more than ten years.
"You're finally willing to see me."
Ji Lanchu's nose turned sour. She did not care that there was someone else beside her and threw herself into Gu Chen's arms.
Back then, the two of them were separated by life and death in the Kunlun Ruins. When Ji Lanchu woke up again, Gu Chen had already left overseas, and she was taken away by Kunlun.
The two of them had experienced many ups and downs. All these years, she had relied on her yearning to endure the arduous cultivation.
Gu Chen hugged Ji Lanchu gently and felt her sobbing in his arms. For a moment, he did not know how to comfort her.
He was not someone who was good at expressing his feelings. In fact, he had spent most of his life fighting and killing. Love was too far away from him.
Especially since he was carrying too many things on his shoulders now, it was even more difficult for him to say anything when he thought of this.
"Do you have it with you?" Ji Lanchu, who was in his arms, suddenly raised her head and asked softly.
Gu Chen knew what she was referring to. He nodded and took out the other half of the Dragon Phoenix Heart-Linking Bracelet that belonged to him.
When Ji Lanchu saw the bracelet, she smiled sweetly.
There was no need for her to ask if Gu Chen missed her or if he had someone else he liked. As long as he still had this with him, it meant that she was still in his heart.
As long as she knew this, all these years of waiting was worth it.
At the thought of this, she subconsciously hugged him even tighter, as if she was afraid that he would disappear.
Right now, Ji Lanchu was no longer the domineering Kunlun Saintess. In front of Gu Chen, she only wanted to be a little girl.
"Brother Gu, I didn't expect to meet you again after we parted so long ago."
After comforting Lanchu with great difficulty, Gu Chen finally spoke to Shi Jian and Qi Zeyan.
The two of them recalled their experiences in the True Martial Academy with Gu Chen and later fought alongside him on the battlefield. They could not help but sigh.
"Everyone, please take a seat. Tonight, we have reunited after such a long time, so it is worth celebrating. We've been apart for a long time. It's worth celebrating tonight.
Since he had already been exposed tonight, Gu Chen, Gu Gu Gu Chen, and Qi, he had a good time.
He asked the Island Master to call Lu Yichen and the others over. He decided to drink with them to his heart's content.
After all, the Immortal Realm was about to open, and what he was about to do was extremely dangerous. Even he himself wasn't sure if he would ever have the chance to sit together with his old friends like this, drink and chat, and reminisce about the past.
Soon, Lu Yichen, Zhao Rou, and the rest arrived. They were all happy to see Gu Chen.
Last time, in the Luo Ying Sect, Gu Chen came and went in a hurry. They were all happy to see Gu Chen.
Last time in the Luo Ying Sect, Gu Chen came and went in a hurry. They didn't have time to talk.
That night, the atmosphere in the private room where Gu Chen and his companions were at was harmonious. Everyone reminisced about the past. Mu Ziyu couldn't help but burst into tears when he thought of his relatives in the Ancient Dark Yellow Star.
Being a stranger in a foreign land, she missed her family on a festive occasion.
Reuniting with old friends evoked deep nostalgia. There was both happiness and sadness.
Gu Chen, Shi Jian, and Qi Zeyan had a drinking contest. They didn't talk much and just smiled.
In front of his old friends, he seemed to have forgotten all the scheming and deceiving. He broke away from all the heavy shackles and returned to being the high-spirited young overlord of the past.
They drank until late at night. In the end, everyone was so drunk that they fell asleep on the table.
At this moment, Gu Chen, who was drunk, suddenly opened his eyes. He stood up from the chair and regained his usual calmness.
"Master."
The green ox, who hadn't drunk much the whole night, immediately sensed it. He stood up with a serious expression.
Although Gu Chen was very enthusiastic and cheerful tonight, he didn't tell everyone why he had come to the meeting in the Divine Realm.
He didn't mention it when everyone asked him. The sharp green ox realized that his master must have something important to do in the meeting in the Divine Realm. However, he didn't want everyone to worry about him.
"Green ox, thank you for protecting Lanchu. I'll have to trouble you when I'm not around. "
Gu Chen looked at Lanchu, who was sleeping soundly beside him, and said softly.
"Master, I want to stay by your side! The task of protecting Princess Lanchu can be handed over to the Dragon Horse! "The green ox was anxious when he heard that. He realized that Gu Chen was going to leave again.
Moreover, from his tone, he didn't seem to be very confident about what he was going to do.
"You've always done well. I'll leave it to you in the future. Listen to me. It might be dangerous to stay here and take care of them. "
Gu Chen said and then left the private room.
As soon as he walked out of the private room, White Ape, Jiang Baiming, the Island Owner, and the Dragon Horse had been waiting for a long time.
"Let's go back."
Gu Chen said. His eyes became bone-chilling at this moment.
The group nodded and then left the Divine Palm Tree House unhurriedly.
When they walked to the door, they happened to meet Hong Taiyi, Feng Jiuqian, and the others.
The Battle God Banquet had actually ended, but the group had been wondering if they should go to Gu Chen's private room for the whole night. No matter what, they were from the same hometown, and they wouldn't be chased away.
They struggled for the whole night, but in the end, they didn't have the courage to go. After all, they had made fun of Gu Chen previously.
They didn't expect to meet Gu Chen when they were leaving.
Although Gu Chen looked like Chen Gu again, Hong Taiyi, Feng Jiuqian, and the others were very sure that he was the Overlord.
If it wasn't for the Overlord, Princess Ji and Qi Zeyan wouldn't have entered that private room. Lu Yichen and the others from the Heavenly Star Sect wouldn't have come as well.
When they saw Gu Chen, they recalled his performance at the Battle God Banquet tonight. Seeing the experts around him, they were a little scared and didn't dare to recognize him.
"The path of cultivation is long, and you need to stay true to yourself. Also, no matter where you go, don't forget where you come from. "
Gu Chen looked at the group of people and said calmly. After that, he left.
He saw how the group of people made fun of him through the Sky-Devouring Demonic Butterfly, but he wasn't angry, or rather, he didn't care at all.
What he said now was just some advice for the people from the same hometown as someone who had been through it.
As for whether they listened or not, it was their own business.
You need to stay true to yourself …
No matter where you go, don't forget where you come from …
A long time after Gu Chen left, the group was still stunned, and his words echoed in their minds.
It turned out that the other party didn't care what they said at all, and didn't ridicule them because of the huge gap between them.
In his eyes, they were still from the same hometown …
Chen Buqi, Feng Jiuqian, and the others all had emotions in their eyes, and they couldn't calm down for a long time.
After Gu Chen and the others left the Divine Palm Tower, they walked on the street at a steady pace, as if they were taking a stroll.
