The elder in charge of the assessment was in a good mood. A genius who had been under competition was revealed. He had made a great contribution this time.
He was really curious about what was so special about the young man in black robe. He briefly told his disciples a few words and then hurried back to the inner gate to inquire about the news.
The candidates who passed the examination were taken to the courtyard of the collective residence by Luomen disciples and settled temporarily.
To put it bluntly, they just moved to a different place to live, and they were still living outside, which made their movement even more inconvenient.
However, this was much better than others. Candidates who failed the assessment were asked by Luomen to leave on the same day, and all the people who accompanied them had to pack up and leave.
As a result, the outer door suddenly became quite empty.
Tang Gaolan and Gu Chen's companions still stayed. They could wait until they finished the inner sect's assessment before leaving. This was also a kind of preferential treatment given by Luomen to those who passed the assessment.
Because they found out that Yuan Jie, Gu Chen and others who were taken away by the nine prophets came together, Feng Yaya and others received unexpected courtesy, and their living place was upgraded to a better and larger courtyard.
Although Gu Chen and Tang Jianqing had to live in the collective courtyard, Luomen's disciples obviously had a much better attitude towards them.
Tang Gaolan never expected that he would get the glory of Gu Chen and his group, and he was secretly excited, glad that he had made the right decision.
When the worshipers of the Shao family laughed at Gu Chen for having only 800 power, she actually felt a little regretful and wondered if her original decision was too hasty.
However, with a person like Yuan Jie, even if Chen Yi is not worth the price of enshrinement, the relationship between these two people is worth it!
What's more, Chen Yi himself is not bad either. If Yuan Jie wasn't so shocking, Chen Yi would be number one!
Tang Gaolan realized that he had underestimated this group of people, and he wondered if the other people who did not participate in the assessment also had some hidden abilities.
She began to please her wholeheartedly. If she could bring this group of people into her Tang family, it would be of great benefit to her Tang family!
Fang Shijie successfully entered the inner gate and got close to the power center of Luomen, while Gu Chen also stayed at the outer gate in a low-key manner as he wished. The current situation was basically no different from what he originally planned.
However, Gu Chen did not relax in his heart. Instead, he was in a state of alert because of the secret prying eyes.
Although the secret peeping disappeared completely after he left the Bagua Tu, it did not mean that the matter ceased to exist. He was worried that things would change soon.
Therefore, he reminded his friends, especially the dragon monster, to be secretly vigilant about all disturbances at the outer door, and to report anything unusual to him immediately.
After explaining this, Gu Chen came to the small courtyard where the group lived. As soon as he entered the small courtyard, he found that Tang Jianqing and Shao Heyang had a dispute.
"The bet we agreed on? Why, are you going to regret it now? Shao Heyang, do you still want to be shameless?"
Tang Jianqing was in high spirits and domineering. Many disciples who had just passed the examination gathered around him and challenged Shao Heyang together.
Shao Heyang, on the other hand, was weak in power and looked as ugly as if he had eaten a fly.
After hearing it for a while, Gu Chen understood that Tang Jianqing was forcing Shao Heyang to fulfill the bet and asked him to kneel down and kowtow to call his grandfather.
It seems that the reason why Shao Heyang lost was that he was tricked by him. After all, he was the first person to step out of the Bagua chart.
If he is not the first to walk out, according to the bet, no matter how amazing Fang Shijie's subsequent performance is, it will not affect Shao Heyang.
Gu Chen was completely uninterested in the conflict between the two children of the aristocratic families, and had no intention of intervening. However, when Tang Jianqing first arrived, a group of supporters gathered around him, which surprised him.
Those present were all candidates who had passed the examination. They were not relatives of Tang Jianqing before, so why were they surrounding him like stars and making things difficult for Shao Heyang with him now?
Is Shao Heyang so hated?
Gu Chen stopped for a moment to observe, and quickly understood what was going on.
I bet this group of candidates all knew that Fang Shijie came with them, and thought that Tang Jianqing had a hard relationship with him, so they went out of their way to please him!
Everyone present is already a disciple of Luo Clan. If you want to get along well in the sect in the future, it would be best to climb a big tree.
Fang Shijie was the biggest tree they could see and the easiest to reach, so they took action.
When they couldn't find Fang Shijie at the moment, they started to flatter Tang Jianqing. Gu Chen looked at Tang Jianqing's proud look and wondered if he had deliberately made his relationship with Fang Shijie so strong.
This man is really shameless.
Gu Chen thought of Tang Jianqing's disdain for them all the way before, which was in sharp contrast to his current use of opportunity, and he also had a better understanding of his personality.
Gu Chen shook his head. He had no intention of causing trouble. He had experienced countless storms and waves, and viewed all of this as nothing more than a passing cloud.
He deliberately avoided a group of people and went to the room arranged for him. As for whether Shao Heyang was forced to kneel down in the end, he was not interested at all.
After entering the room and closing the door, all the hustle and bustle of the outside world was cut off. Gu Chen practiced quietly until the night fell and the lights began to turn on.
At this time, there was a knock on the door of his room, and it was Tang Jianqing who knocked on the door. When he knew who it was, he frowned slightly.
He didn't want to pay attention at first, but he thought of using his identity as the Tang family to cover up, so he opened the door and let Tang Jianqing in.
"Brother Chen, I'm sorry for interrupting you."
Tang Jianqing was extremely polite as soon as he entered the door. When had he called Gu Chen this way in the past?
Gu Chen felt funny in his heart, but he also gave him face and asked him to sit down and chat slowly.
Seeing that Gu Chen didn't treat him coldly, Tang Jianqing relaxed his heart and soon started chatting with him.
In the eyes of Gu Chen, who has experienced many ups and downs in the world, Tang Jianqing has almost no city to speak of. He is simple and easy to understand. After the two chatted for a while, Gu Chen fully understood his purpose.
Gu Chen's previous suspicions were correct. After Fang Shijie became famous, Tang Jianqing pretended to have a close relationship with them and took the opportunity to win over a large number of disciples.
Although outsiders didn't know the real situation, he himself knew it, and he felt somewhat guilty. He came to Gu Chen now just to ease the previous relationship between the two parties and make his lies become true.
From what he said, Gu Chen also knew that Shao Heyang was really an unlucky boy. Under the pressure of a group of people, he actually knelt down and kowtowed to Tang Jianqing in public, fulfilling the bet he made.
Tang Jianqing could be said to be feeling very proud at the moment. After so many years, he had finally defeated his mortal enemy, and his mood was soaring to the sky.
It's just that this pride is false and unreal. Whether it can come true and last long depends on Fang Shijie's attitude towards him in the future.
And how Fang Shijie treats him depends on Gu Chen's mood.
The life of the eldest son of the Tang family is now tightly controlled by Gu Chen, so he shamelessly wants to please him.
