The first thousand two hundred and eighty chapters
"Fellow Daoist Gu, please take good care of me in the future."
"Let's have a good gathering some other time. We won't come back until we get drunk."
"must."
It was already late at night after sending away the last batch of people who came to visit. When he was the only one left in the house and all the restrictions around the courtyard were opened, Gu Chen felt relieved.
He had just become the Punishment General of Xing County today, and there was an endless stream of people visiting him. This made him realize that although Xing County looked like a military camp, it was no different from other places, and there were complex interpersonal relationships.
These relationships need to be carefully paid attention to and maintained. Only in this way can he quickly establish himself in this place.
Sitting cross-legged on his bed, Gu Chen recalled everything he said and did in the Heavenly Punishment Palace during the day, and thought about whether he had any flaws when facing Lord Xingdao and others.
At this time, the window in his room creaked softly, and an ant quietly slipped in!
Gu Chen stared at the inconspicuous ant, letting it slowly climb up his sleeve and finally land on his shoulder.
"Congratulations on successfully becoming the General of Heavenly Punishment. This way you have a foothold in the criminal world and are no longer in danger."
Feng Yaya's voice entered Gu Chen's mind.
Gu Chen remained calm, as if he was practicing silently.
"You can speak this time. We can use our spiritual consciousness to communicate in your mind."
Feng Yaya realized Gu Chen's caution and said.
Gu Chen felt relieved and responded to her in his mind. "You always come to me in such a sneaky way, which will bring me a lot of trouble."
"Why, is it because you know Kong Sheng's identity that you are afraid of me?"
Feng Yaya said sadly.
"It's better to do less than to do more. I don't want to offend the head of the engineering department because of you, so you'd better not contact me again."
Gu Chen said neither salty nor bland.
Feng Yaya took a breath and said dissatisfied, "Is it possible that you still can't trust me?"
"I don't understand what you are talking about." Gu Chen's face was expressionless.
"Stop pretending. I don't believe you really want to surrender to Lord Xingdao. It's just a temporary measure to save your hometown."
Feng Yaya said dissatisfied.
"Mr. Xingdao treats me well. If I have a better future in the world of punishment, I will be loyal to him." Gu Chen responded calmly.
"Yes, I have also heard that Mr. Xingdao does treat you differently. But with your character, I am afraid that the better he treats you, the more you will be confused when you can't figure out his motives.
Are you uneasy?"
Feng Yaya teased.
Gu Chen's expression condensed, "Do you know something?"
"Hey, don't care if I know it or not. If you don't trust me and don't plan to cooperate with me, why should I tell you?"
Feng Yaya said arrogantly when she saw that Gu Chen had fallen into the trap.
This time it was Gu Chen's turn to be passive. He touched his nose and thought.
He had already seen Feng Yaya's desire to cooperate with him, but he had chosen to turn a blind eye because of the uncertain future.
But now that he has initially established a foothold in Xing County, what he needs most now is actually a reliable companion.
Considering that Feng Yaya had previously helped Xingjun behind his back in the Ninth Realm, maybe she was really a suitable ally.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?" Gu Chen said thoughtfully.
"You finally stopped avoiding talking about it."
Feng Yaya's tone showed joy and she said simply, "I want you to help me kill Kong Sheng!"
Gu Chen secretly sighed, as expected!
He had already guessed that what Feng Yaya wanted was related to her fiancé.
"Why? He is one person below ten thousand people in Xing County, and he seems to treat you well." Gu Chen asked.
"I once came from a small world in the Sea of Chaos just like you. My hometown was also attacked by Xingjun seven years ago."
"But my hometown is luckier than yours. At that time, Kong Sheng discovered me when I was only ten years old. Because of me, the planned destruction of my hometown was canceled."
Feng Yaya said softly.
"This should be because you have the Holy Hand of Creation, right? But I can't believe that not only do you look like a girl, you are also really young."
Gu Chen was a little surprised that seventeen-year-old Feng Yaya was standing at the pinnacle of geniuses in all realms. Think about it, when he was seventeen years old, he was still being hunted by people on the Kunlun continent.
Although he looks very young, compared with Feng Yaya's real age, he can be regarded as an uncle.
Of course, whether it is him or Feng Yaya, their ages are ridiculously young in the world of cultivators whose ages can easily be measured in tens of thousands of years.
"I am naturally beautiful, young and cute. Do you think I am one of those old witches pretending to be young?"
Feng Yaya immediately glared at Gu Chen.
Gu Chen was speechless, the girl was really narcissistic.
"Kong Sheng took me away from my hometown. At first, I thought he was just cultivating me as his apprentice, so I was grateful to him for a long time."
"But then I gradually realized that there was something wrong with the way he looked at me. Although I was young, I was not stupid."
"Finally, when I was fifteen, he announced to the outside world that I was his fiancée, and I understood what he planned."
Feng Yaya pursed her lips tightly.
"His hobbies are very problematic, so you want to kill him in order to get rid of him and gain freedom?"
Gu Chen guessed.
At that time, Feng Yaya was still ignorant and was abducted by Kong Sheng into the prison world. He silently raised her as his wife without considering her feelings.
But just for this reason, he had to kill Kong Sheng. Gu Chen felt that Feng Yaya was probably crazy. She obviously had other options, such as running away.
"No, if he really wants to marry me, even if I don't like him the way men and women do, considering our past kindness, it might not be a bad idea to give him a chance."
Feng Yaya gritted her teeth, her eyes showing strong unwillingness.
"However, the reason why he wants to marry me is just for the Holy Hand of Creation. Like the slaves in the Ministry of Industry who were treated as experimental subjects by him, I will only die sooner or later!"
"How do you know what he's thinking?"
Gu Chen has never been stingy in speculating on people's hearts with the utmost malice, but without any basis, Feng Yaya might just be delusional.
"I have been with him for so long, and I know him well. The way he looks at me is definitely not just a man's love for women. Sometimes he looks at me as if he is looking at a new research project that he is about to successfully study.
A killing weapon."
Gu Chen no longer doubted it. With Feng Yaya's intelligence, she wouldn't make any mistakes. I'm afraid Kong Sheng really had bad intentions towards her!
"I don't know what Kong Sheng wants to do to me, but he has always been very concerned about my cultivation progress and hopes that I can break through to the realm of Taoism as soon as possible."
"In order to achieve this goal, he even sent me into the trial of the ninth realm."
