Gu Chen has stayed in the White Whale Mansion for a long time and has always believed in the principle of law of the jungle.
In his opinion, no matter how powerful the worldly power is, it cannot compare with the Taoist magical powers of monks, but this Confucianism has opened his eyes.
On the one hand, they served the royal family of China and helped manage the empire with Confucian ideas. Half of the officials in the court came from Confucianism.
On the other hand, they integrated with the common people of Li, so that the royal family was afraid to touch them.
The existence of this kind of force is simply unimaginable in the White Whale Mansion, but when viewed against the background of the entire Middle-earth Empire, it appears to be reasonable.
"The influence of Confucianism is extremely huge, and the Shen family has the highest reputation among the Confucian sects. With that said, you should understand how powerful they are, right?"
Ji Lanchu said and Gu Chen nodded.
He felt a little more certain that the mother's family that Elder Nangong mentioned at the beginning was probably the Shen family.
My mother's surname is Shen. She has read poetry and books since she was a child, but has no ability to tie a chicken. She has many similarities with Confucian disciples.
I just don't know what kind of status she has in the Shen family, and even the Huangfu family has to consider it.
Gu Chen's mind was full of thoughts, and Ji Lanchu's unintentional words gave him very precious information.
First, I want to know what happened to my father three years ago, whether he is dead or alive. I am afraid that Huangfude knows best.
Secondly, the mother is from the Shen family. After burning down their home in Tiannan City and leaving, she most likely returned to the Shen family. In other words, she may be in the Middle-earth Empire right now!
Gu Chen was very excited. Since escaping from Feng Lin Mansion, one of the things he has been most worried about is the whereabouts of his mother. Now he finally has a clue!
Even the mystery of his father's disappearance was slowly revealed, which made him particularly grateful.
"Thank you very much, Your Highness Princess."
Gu Chen saluted Ji Lanchu with a smile on his face.
"What are you doing?"
Ji Lan was flattered at first, but Gu Chen had always been cold and cold, and he never paid attention to her status as a princess. He would do this, just like the sun rising in the west.
"Just call me Lan Chu."
Seeing that Gu Chen didn't explain much, Ji Lanchu said softly, turned her face away, and her ears turned red unnoticed.
"In the East Wasteland, the tentacles of the Middle-earth Imperial Court and the Tianjing Mansion are out of reach, but Lan Chu, you still have to be careful about the tracking of the Hades Palace. In addition, there are other places that need attention in the East Wasteland."
Gu Chen reminded him after asking about the relevant information from three years ago.
He is from the Eastern Wasteland, so he can give her some advice.
Being alone is definitely not easy.
"I understand, I will be careful in everything from now on."
Ji Lanchu listened carefully and felt that Gu Chen's concern for her was sincere, and she couldn't help but smile.
"Just telling me, what about you? Where do you plan to go next? You are from Donghuang, why are you going to Kyushu?"
Gu Chen pondered for a while. Going to the Zhenwu Academy was originally a mission assigned to him by Heavenly Court and he shouldn't say more. But Ji Lanchu told him everything and gave him very important information. It didn't matter if he talked about his destination.
It was a great kindness to give clues to her parents, and to tell her her destination. If she ran into trouble one day, he might be able to help.
"I'm going to Zhenwu Academy to find someone." He replied.
"Oh? What a coincidence! I once studied at Zhenwu Academy for several years, and Vice President Qi of the academy was my mentor."
She thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll write you a letter of recommendation. If you encounter any trouble there, you can contact my senior sister Mu Ziyu."
"You can rest assured. Senior sister and I are like sisters. She also helped me with my plans to escape from marriage. She will not reveal your relationship with me."
"Then I'll trouble you."
Gu Chen did not refuse and accepted the other party's intention.
The two talked for a long time, and the atmosphere was harmonious. They both felt comfortable talking to each other, and there was a magnetic field like a spring breeze.
Gu Chenben lived a life of licking blood on the tip of a knife. He rarely had anyone to whom he could speak so freely. Most of his life was spent in penance and fighting.
Ji Lan was born into the royal family, and faced intrigues and intrigues all day long. She also had to be wary of the ambitious royal family, and her life was always very tiring.
The two have many similarities, but they also have different attractions to each other.
For a moment, the atmosphere turned warm and affectionate.
…
The time we get together is always short, and when parting comes, Ji Lanchu is inexplicably reluctant to leave.
"Take care along the way. If you need any help in the future, come to Zhenwu Academy to find me. If I'm not here by then, just find me in this way."
Gu Chen handed over a note.
Ji Lanchu stretched out her slender hand, took it from Gu Chen, and put the note away solemnly.
"Take care of yourself too."
She said softly.
"Squeak!"
The white ape who woke up waved the colorful little tree and jumped up and down next to him in protest.
"What did the little monkey say?"
Ji Lanchu couldn't help laughing.
"It protested that you only said goodbye to me and not to it."
Gu Chen said with a smile.
Ji Lanchu understood immediately and stepped forward to touch the white ape's fluffy and soft hair. "Goodbye little monkey."
The white ape suddenly squinted his eyes with a look of enjoyment, wagging his tail.
"See you later."
Ji Lanchu finally flew away from this place and embarked on a journey alone.
Gu Chen looked at her leaving figure, feeling a little sad for no reason.
"Hope everything goes well for you."
He murmured, shook his head, and got rid of all the messy thoughts.
It’s time to go to Zhenwu Academy!
I wasted some time and took a long detour, so I have to speed up my trip!
"Let's go, little guy. This thing is too dazzling to hold in your hand, so I'll keep it for you first."
Gu Chen looked at the white ape and reached out to take the colorful tree in its hand.
Bai Yuan immediately ran away, squeaked a few words, and looked at Gu Chen with disdain.
"Ahem, it's just for safekeeping. Don't worry, I won't embezzle your things."
Gu Chen guiltily explained that Bai Yuan had found many good things before, such as the Nine Yin Stone, but in the end they were sold to Gu Chen.
Therefore, the little guy was a lot more vigilant this time and refused to hand over the colorful tree.
Gu Chen was very curious about this colorful little tree. The white ape was willing to risk being trapped in the Wild God Valley forever for it. After coming out, he never left his hand and regarded it as a treasure. He didn't know what was so special about it?
After some nice talk with Bai Yuan, the little miser slowly let down his guard and handed the colorful tree to Gu Chen.
As the saying goes, wealth should not be revealed. Putting it in a storage ring is safer than holding it in your hand.
Gu Chen reached out to take the trunk of the small tree and held it in front of his eyes for inspection. At this time, something strange happened.
A faint suction force was released from the colorful little tree, faintly affecting the vitality in his body.
With a thought in his mind, his energy was injected into the colorful tree.
boom!
The suction force was magnified tenfold, and the small colorful trees burst into a burst of bright flames. All the vegetation within a hundred meters of it withered completely in an instant, as if their life force had been drained!
