With Ba Ti having grown to this point, Gu Chen's instincts can be said to be very precise.
Since the young man from the Huaxiang Sect gave him such a feeling, it meant that he probably had something to do with him!
However, what kind of origin can produce such a familiar feeling, even to the point of intimacy, is a bit incredible.
Just from the other party's unremarkable appearance, Gu Chen really couldn't tell his true nature.
"Is this Patriarch Chen? What's the matter?"
The leader of the Hua Xiang Sect, Wei Youque, asked, but his words were quite polite.
Gu Chen came back to his senses, smiled and cupped his hands. "It's okay. I've heard the name of Sect Master Wei for a long time. I wanted to say that since we met, as a junior, I should say hello, but I'm afraid that Sect Master Wei doesn't recognize me."
When the three of them heard this, they suddenly realized that they just recognized a familiar face, so they had to think about what to do.
"Clan Leader Chen is joking. You have such cultivation at such a young age and your future is bright. How dare I look down upon you?"
Wei Youque's words were a bit cordial. He had witnessed the conflict between the Chen clan and the Mu clan yesterday with his own eyes. He was deeply impressed by this young man and knew that he was definitely not a thing in the pond.
Although the Chen family is in big trouble right now and they don't know if they can get through it, it is always good to be kind to others.
"Since Sect Master Wei knows me, I feel relieved. I wonder if I would be lucky enough to treat Sect Master Wei to a meal?"
Gu Chen beat the snake and followed it with the stick. Wei Youque was stunned when he heard this, thinking that he just recognized a familiar face, but he didn't expect that the other party wanted to communicate in depth.
Wouldn't it offend the herdsmen to have dinner with Chen Yunfei at this time?
Although he, Hua Xiangzong, is not afraid of the herdsmen, why would he offend them for the sake of the Chen clan?
Moreover, since the meeting is about to take place, any actions can easily be maliciously interpreted or even exploited by other forces. It is better to avoid things like eating if possible!
"Unfortunately, I just finished eating. Patriarch Chen wants to chat. We can do that here."
Wei Youque declined politely, thinking that the other party should understand what he meant, but Gu Chen immediately nodded. "It's okay to chat here. The scenery outside the window is nice."
Gu Chen came to the corridor window and had some time to look at the wilderness in the distance.
Wei Youque was helpless. Why didn't this young man understand what he meant?
He couldn't help but just leave, so he had a chat with Gu Chen by the window.
"I wonder if these two are..."
While chatting, Gu Chen politely talked about the two people around Wei Youque.
"This is Elder Wang, and the other one is my disciple Ling Bing."
Wei Youque gave a brief introduction, and Elder Wang and Gu Chen smiled and gestured. The young man who caught Gu Chen's attention, Wei Youque's disciple Ling Bing, had a cold expression and didn't seem to have much interest in him.
"Brother Ling and I are considered peers. Now that we know each other today, we will have the opportunity to walk around more in the future."
Gu Chen looked directly at Ling Bing and said politely.
"Young Daoist Chen, if you can withstand the anger of the herdsmen, let's talk about this issue again."
A sneer appeared at the corner of Ling Bing's mouth, his words were not so nice.
It was just a chance encounter on the road, so he kept pestering him about Hua Xiangzong. In his opinion, the other party's motives were too obvious, so naturally he felt a bit contemptuous.
"Ahem."
Wei Youque hurriedly coughed to cover up his embarrassment.
"Ling Bing rarely goes out. He has been in seclusion within our sect for more than three hundred years. He has a simple heart, so he speaks in a rude manner. I hope Patriarch Chen can forgive me."
Wei Youque explained, but he did not mean to criticize his disciple harshly. In his opinion, Gu Chen was not worthy of the injustice he made his disciple suffer.
Have you been in seclusion for more than three hundred years?
Gu Chen captured this important information and his eyes showed a strange light.
He deliberately held onto Sect Leader Wei just to find out the identity of Ling Bing.
But the other party has been in the Huaxiang Sect for more than three hundred years, so how could he have any contact with him?
He came from the Sea of Chaos, and a Taoist monk he had never met gave him an absurd sense of familiarity. What on earth is going on?!
"Zongzhu Wei's words are serious, and what he said makes sense. The herders are indeed a trouble."
Gu Chen suppressed the doubts in his heart and looked calm.
"Then I won't bother you today. After we solve the herdsmen's troubles in the future, I will visit the Huaxiang Sect in person when I have the opportunity."
If you continue to test the other party, you should become suspicious. Gu Chen will stop it.
Seeing that he didn't seem to care about the herders' problems at all, Wei Youque's eyes flickered, and his evaluation in his heart skyrocketed.
Ling Bing disagreed and regarded what Gu Chen said as a lie.
Gu Chen left quickly. As soon as he returned to his room, he summoned Ni Bodhisattva and asked him to investigate the information about Ling Bing of the Huaxiang Sect.
This information is not difficult to obtain. The Shenyin Army has already penetrated into the Shenyou world of the Huaxiang Sect and has conducted detailed investigations earlier on the candidates from all parties participating in the meeting.
Because Gu Chen had been delayed for too long in the Taichu Demon Mine, he didn't have time to check the information. When he asked, Ni Bodhisattva quickly provided all kinds of information about Ling Bing.
Gu Chen examined it carefully. After reading it, his whole face was filled with uncertainty.
From the intelligence point of view, Sect Leader Wei did not lie. Not only could Ling Bing not have anything to do with him, he had never had any interaction with Chaos Sea.
His life was very normal and there was nothing questionable about it.
Could it be that his instinct was wrong?
Gu Chen thought for a long time but did not get the answer. At this juncture of the game with Fang Yuan, an unstable factor suddenly appeared, which also cast a shadow on his heart!
"After entering Hongying Villa tomorrow, you are responsible for keeping an eye on Ling Bing secretly. Don't let him find out."
Gu Chen decided to let Ni Bodhisattva secretly monitor him. If there was no problem with this guy, it would be best. If there was a problem, he intuitively had something to do with Fang Yuan.
Mud Bodhisattva agreed. Since he stepped into the holy realm, his small body of earth magic has become even more weird and unpredictable. It is most suitable for performing tasks such as tracking and sneaking in.
The last day at the Honghu Inn ended quickly. When night came, the Great Prophet returned with Prophet Qiu and the fierce-looking woman with smiles on their faces. It seemed that they had gained a lot.
Gu Chen glanced at the woman. He really couldn't understand why the great prophet brought a woman to the meeting. Was it just because she was very powerful?
This is not in line with Luo Men's family style. Taking her around to visit the big bosses of various forces, the style of painting is also a bit strange.
The great prophet didn't tell me the reason, and Gu Chen couldn't find out. This guy was used to being mysterious and hiding his secrets.
That night, Gu Chen still didn't hear any news from Zuo Chunqiu. He seemed to have disappeared from the world, and the previous agreement seemed to have disappeared.
One night passed, and the meeting day arrived.
Early in the morning, the monks from Hongying Villa, headed by Fang Yuan, came to the inn and invited thirty-seven representatives of the participating forces to go up the mountain.
Representatives of Taiqi Palace and Jingsheng presiding over the meeting are already waiting in the villa. From today on, there will be a series of proposals involving the next thousand years of the Second Mountain and Sea that need to be discussed and voted on.
The length of the meeting is uncertain, and it will end when all the proposals have been dealt with.
Based on experience in previous years, it can take as little as ten days and a half month, or as long as several months.
When the meeting is over, the resolutions decided at the meeting will be announced to the world and implemented vigorously!
A few words mentioned in a small motion may cause a family that has existed for more than ten thousand years to perish in the blink of an eye, or it may cause the rise of some new forces!
The countless weak forces in the Second Mountain and Sea, like the stars and sands of the Ganges, will not know about the proposals that will be mentioned in the Taoist Court, but soon, they will all be forced to be involved in the torrent of the times.
