"He Fangzheng is currently ranked first on the Qianlong Ranking in Zhenwu Academy. His family is also a famous family in Qingzhou."
"He is very famous in the academy. It is said that his cultivation has reached the perfection of Nirvana and he belongs to the realm of quasi-king."
"In addition, he is also the current person in charge of Qingfeng Xiaozhu and has many friends inside and outside the college."
"After Jiang Yige disappeared, I once wanted to try to find out his background, but my cultivation was much weaker than his, so it was difficult to succeed."
Ye Qingshuang told the information about He Fangzheng one by one. It was obvious that she had been investigating him for a long time.
"Even if he is number one on the Hidden Dragon List, he cannot be a match for Tianting Daozi. He does not have the ability to make Jiang Yige disappear."
Gu Chen frowned, "It seems that there is someone behind him. It is very likely that he is a master at the level of the Hades Guard, who has the ability to pose a threat to Jiang Yige."
Ye Qingshuang listened to Gu Chen talk about the Hades Guard and understood that he really knew the Hades Palace very well, and immediately said, "I have told you everything I know, and I agreed that you will also give me information."
Gu Chen immediately shook his head. "Don't worry, I still have something else I need you to do."
"You don't want to go back on your word, do you?"
Ye Qingshuang's face looked a little ugly.
"What you are saying so far is just one-sided. Who knows if you will trick me? So, you have to take me to meet He Fangzheng and find out his background."
"If it turns out that what you said is correct, I will certainly do it as I promised you."
Gu Chen replied calmly.
"Would you like to meet He Fangzheng for a while?"
Ye Qingshuang sneered.
"What, what's the problem?"
"I admit that I am not as good as you, but I am only ranked thirteenth on the Qianlong List, which is far behind He Fangzheng."
"It's true that you can defeat me, but it's very difficult to defeat He Fangzheng. He is only one step away from the realm of immortality. Except for those monsters on the list of celebrities, there are not many people in the entire academy who can match him."
"It's very difficult for you to get to know him, and you might just alert him. If you deal with him like you did with me today, it will be difficult for you to escape unscathed. Zhenwu Academy excludes killers, and you may die in the academy.
"
Gu Chen's face didn't change, "Who said you have to fight with him to find out his background? There are many ways. I just want you to take me to Qingfeng Xiaozhu, and I will meet him first. As for whether or not to take action, we can't do anything until then.
Let’s talk about it later.”
Ye Qingshuang hesitated for a moment, "Well, there happens to be a party at Qingfeng Xiaozhu in Izumo Tower tomorrow. I can take you there, but if you find anything then, you must tell me."
"Deal." Gu Chen said calmly.
"In this case, you and I are now considered partners, can you let me go?"
Ye Qingshuang looked expectant.
"I'm afraid that won't work."
Gu Chen's mouth showed sarcasm, "Before tomorrow's party, in order to prevent you from playing any tricks, you must stay by my side every step of the way."
Once bitten by a snake, and fearful of ropes for ten years, Gu Chen has always been wary of this woman, Ye Qingshuang, and is unwilling to let her go directly and cause trouble for himself.
Ye Qingshuang gritted her teeth and said nothing. She knew that there was no point in wasting words with this man, so she could only follow his method.
…
The next day, Gu Chen did not go to the Book Collection Building to work. Instead, he stayed in the cave for the whole day. It was almost evening before he took Ye Qingshuang to the Izumo Building.
Izumo Restaurant is located in Zhenbu Academy. It is the most famous restaurant in the academy. The food is delicious, but the price is high, and ordinary students cannot afford it.
However, today Izumo Tower is reserved by Qingfeng Xiaozhu, and only invited students are eligible to enter.
As one of the most famous clubs in Zhenwu Academy, most of the members of Qingfeng Xiaozhu have prominent family backgrounds.
Take Mu Ziyu, the founder of the society, for example. Behind her is the Shenmu Sect, one of the five holy sects of the Middle-earth Empire. Her Mu family has been the leader of the Shenmu Sect for generations.
The current person in charge of the society, He Fangzheng, is not only the number one genius on the Qianlong Ranking, but also has strong appeal. The He family where he belongs is also a famous family.
This resulted in Qingfeng Xiaozhu's detached status, and it naturally became a circle with high thresholds. Many students from Zhenwu Academy were proud to attend Qingfeng Xiaozhu's gatherings.
Outside Izumo Tower, a man and a woman were walking at this moment.
The man was wearing a black robe and had an ordinary appearance. He was the type that no one would look at if he was thrown into a crowd.
The woman, on the other hand, has an alluring appearance, especially her aloof temperament, like a fairy who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world.
This very different man and woman walked side by side, causing many students passing by to look at them side by side.
"It's Miss Ye. It's amazing. It's the first time I see her walking with a man!"
"She has always been alone. Who is that man? He looks very ordinary, but he is treated differently by Ye Qingshuang. His family background must not be simple!"
The students were talking a lot. When Gu Chen heard this, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said sarcastically.
"I don't see how popular you are."
Ye Qingshuang looked cold and did not respond.
Her cultivation is still in a sealed state, and it feels uncomfortable to be controlled by others.
She walked straight to the door, and a male student who was in charge of reception at the door burst into smiles when he saw it was her.
"Miss Ye is here. Welcome. Come in quickly."
Although Ye Qingshuang does not have a prominent family background, she possesses the Martial Saint Body and entered the inner courtyard just one year after entering the academy. She is recognized as a proud daughter of heaven, so she is naturally qualified to participate in Qingfeng Xiaozhu's gathering.
Gu Chen followed and was about to enter, but the male student immediately stopped him.
"This guy looks strange. Do you have an invitation?"
He looked at Gu Chen carefully.
"I came with her."
Gu Chen responded lightly and glanced at Ye Qingshuang, with a hidden warning in his eyes.
Ye Qingshuang understood and reluctantly nodded. "He is my friend, so he should be able to go in, right?"
The male student hesitated and said, "Okay, please come in."
Gu Chen then strode into Izumo Tower, with Ye Qingshuang following him uncomfortably.
She has always been a loner in the academy and is known to be aloof. Not to mention traveling with men, she has little contact with girls of the same age.
But appearing with Gu Chen in a place with so many people today will definitely attract criticism and make her feel very uncomfortable.
Swish.
As soon as the two of them entered Izumo Tower, many eyes were cast on them.
When they discovered that the visitors were Ye Qingshuang and a man with an unsightly appearance that he had never seen before, many students suddenly looked at him in surprise.
"Who is that person next to Ye Qingshuang? I've never seen him before. He doesn't seem to be a student of my Zhenwu Academy."
"Whoever is able to get together with Ye Qingshuang must have a lot of background. You must know that Ye Qingshuang is a very aloof woman. When several young men from rich families chased her, she ignored them."
"Humph, she is also a woman who pretends to be noble. How can that man compare to me?"
Whispers were everywhere. Gu Chen's hearing was so sharp that he heard them all and couldn't help but frown.
