After all calculations, he thought that the incident in Binhai City had been concealed, but Gu Chen did not expect that such a variable as Zhang Hao would appear!
"Did Zhang Hao come alone? What did he say?"
Gu Chen's eyes flickered urgently, asking for specific details.
"He sneaked into Luoshui Palace alone, and it's all my fault. I obviously discovered him and fought with him. Unfortunately, I couldn't capture him."
Chen Wenfeng showed a look of remorse on his face and explained clearly the process of discovering Zhang Hao and the encounter.
"I can't blame you, Patriarch Chen, for this. Zhang Hao is a true disciple of Taiqi Palace, and his cultivation has already reached the Holy King realm. With the tyranny of Taiqi Palace's orthodoxy, even the Great Saint realm may not be able to defeat him."
Gu Chen shook his head after hearing this. He was afraid that even Chen Wenfeng could find out about Zhang Hao because he did it intentionally. Zhang Hao deliberately wanted to test the reality of Luoshui Palace.
The other party's intention was not simple, but Gu Chen suddenly felt relieved.
He did not enter Luoshui Palace openly, which means that Zhang Hao did not want others to know that he was here.
Testing Patriarch Chen's strength did not hurt him, which showed that he did not want to break his face.
"Boss, it's my poor disguise that has brought everyone such a crisis."
Ren Yin gritted his teeth and said that he felt no less guilty than Chen Wenfeng. He felt that if he had played his role well, the situation would not fall into the hands of others.
"Your disguise was perfect. No one could see through it in Binhai City. Why was Zhang Hao able to see through it now? He clearly knew something, so it was easy to deduce that you are not who you are."
"This is really to blame. I should be blamed. I must have made a mistake somewhere. I didn't think everything through."
"Okay, don't worry about this anymore, I'll just go and meet him."
Gu Chen said a few words of relief, calmed down, took back his ancient umbrella from Ren Yin, and motioned to the Clay Bodhisattva to lead the way.
Seeing that Gu Chen was calm and unhurried, everyone felt relieved. It seemed that things were not as bad as imagined.
"Boss, Zhang Hao has been living in a courtyard on the outskirts of the city since he left Luoshui Palace yesterday. He has not gone out during this period and has not seen anyone go in there."
Clay Bodhisattva said while leading the way.
"Did your journey back to Peidu go smoothly? Apart from Zhang Hao, has anyone come to visit you recently? Or, are there spies from other forces in Peidu?"
Gu Chen asked casually. What he was most concerned about now was how much Zhang Hao knew and how he knew it.
Since Zhang Hao can discover some tricks, other forces may also be able to do so. What he is most worried about is that the paper cannot contain the fire.
"Chen Qinghe from the Chen clan sent a letter asking about your current situation, boss, and asked some details about the incident in Binhai City." Ni Bodhisattva said.
"What did the Great Elder say?"
Gu Chen asked Chen Shanming. Chen Shanming had the clearest clue about the affairs of the Chen clan. What Chen Qinghe, the lackey of the herdsmen, was planning, you would know just by asking him. There was no need to second guess.
"The Great Elder said that you, Boss, won a battle with the Dragon Taming Sect's genius in Binhai City. Chen Qinghe heard about it and knew that you had achieved a breakthrough to become a saint. He couldn't sit still, so he wrote a letter to test it out. He didn't mean anything else.
." Clay Bodhisattva smiled.
"Well, what about the herdsmen? How did they react?"
"No one from the herdsmen came to ask questions, but I heard that they sent people to the Sea of Foam, which was a bit of an afterthought."
"The Dragon Taming Sect and other forces have not sent anyone here, and there has been no abnormality in Peidu recently. I think all the forces are focusing on the wanted descendants of the inner demon and the remnants of the Yuan Clan."
"By the way, Liu Sheng asked about your current situation. I think you are a bit high-profile this time, boss, and Liu Sheng is not worried."
Ni Bodhisattva told all aspects of the situation at once. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, Gu Chen didn't ask any more questions.
Soon they arrived at the courtyard on the outskirts of the city. As soon as Gu Chen approached the door with an umbrella, the door opened by itself.
"Brother Chen, you're finally back. It's not a worry-free journey, right?"
Zhang Hao, with his hair tied up casually and a bit messy, wearing a coarse preacher's robe and wearing wooden clogs, lazily walked out with a smile on his ordinary face.
"I was not in the palace yesterday. Brother Zhang came from afar and was greeted at a distance."
Gu Chen entered the other courtyard, glanced around and said calmly.
"You're welcome, come here, there is no one else here, let's sit down, drink tea and chat. Brother Jin, please take a seat too."
Zhang Hao invited Gu Chen and Ni Bodhisattva to sit down and took the initiative to make tea for them. Judging from his skillful appearance, he was obviously proficient in tea ceremony.
"If the world knew that the truth about Taiqi Palace had come to this remote little place like me, Peidu would probably not be able to live in peace."
Gu Chen took Zhang Hao's tea and sighed.
"Does Brother Chen want the world to know, or does he not want to?" Zhang Hao said with a smile.
"Then it depends on Brother Zhang's purpose of coming."
"If I said that I came here with no ill intentions, would Brother Chen believe it?"
"Believe it, why don't you believe it? You and I got along quite well when we were in Haitian Palace. Brother Zhang said that I can use your name casually."
Zhang Hao's expression froze when he heard this. He had indeed said this, but how could he have imagined at that time that this guy was so audacious?
"In the case of Miss Chu, I helped Brother Chen solve the trouble in Jiange. Is the kindness repaid?" Zhang Hao was a little unhappy.
"That stone statue in Haitian Palace should be worth more than this favor, right?" Gu Chen said meaningfully.
"Then what if I have helped Brother Chen solve another big trouble? Maybe Brother Chen owes me something." Zhang Hao shook his head.
"Oh? What trouble do I have?" Gu Chen narrowed his eyes.
"Brother Chen did everything so flawlessly that even I didn't notice it at first. How do you think I discovered your secret?"
"What secret do I have? I don't know it myself?"
"You don't tell secrets in front of Mingren. Since I've come to find you, why don't Brother Chen speak openly and honestly?"
Gu Chen paused, his deep eyes showing no emotion. "What do you want me to say?"
"It depends on how much Brother Chen has hidden, I want to know." Zhang Hao's face became serious.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly turned cold. The two looked at each other, and the Ni Bodhisattva next to him instinctively felt a little out of breath.
In his eyes, the courage of these two people is rare in the world. Not to mention the boss, Zhang Hao is also a peerless genius who is as rare as a feather.
The two were silent for a long time, looking at each other with different eyes, and finally Gu Chen spoke.
"How did you find out? Where did I show my flaws?"
Zhang Hao raised his hand and pointed at the Clay Bodhisattva next to him. "The problem lies with him."
Ni Bodhisattva's expression changed drastically, and he was a little at a loss. Gu Chen thought carefully for a while, quickly understood, and sighed leisurely.
