Gu Chen opened his eyes. He had stayed in the training room all night and had already figured out the situation of the thunder eggs.
At this time, someone came to the door. He stood up and opened the door. What he saw was a tall and burly human man.
It was Nie Yuanzheng who ranked first on the Phoenix List and lived next door to him.
"What's the matter?"
Gu Chen asked, this man looked like a martial arts fanatic who was dedicated to practicing. The beard on his face had not been shaved. It was obvious that he had not left the training room for a long time.
"Your name is Gu Chen?"
Nie Yuanzheng's voice was thick and dull.
Gu Chen nodded, a little confused as to what this man wanted from him.
"The sword god of the Jinjian realm that was rumored yesterday was you?"
Nie Yuanzheng asked again.
Gu Chen frowned slightly, this person wasn't here to cause trouble, was he?
He has no interest in competing with these students. He has many things to be busy with.
"no."
Gu Chen denied it and closed the door.
"Yes or no?"
Nie Yuanzheng frowned slightly and blocked the door with one hand.
"What's the matter with you?"
Gu Chen felt speechless. This man was a bit stubborn. He even admitted his name. There couldn't be anyone else with the same name in the last level of the training room, right?
"Dean Dugu would like to invite Gu Chen to visit the house for a chat. I would like to ask if it is convenient."
Nie Yuanzheng spoke solemnly, as if he was discussing someone else's affairs.
Gu Chen heard it funny. It turned out that he was here to invite someone. Why did he look like he was here to fight?
He quickly ignored the man's weirdness and thought about it seriously.
He hadn't gone to find former Dean Dugu yet, but he didn't expect that he would come to find him first.
Could it be that the other party discovered his abnormality?
Probably not. From what Nie Yuanzheng said, it seemed like Dugu Yi wanted to recruit him because of his performance in the competition yesterday.
Teacher Dong has said before that Dugu Yi has been bringing talents to the world, and he also expressed goodwill to him before, allowing him to successfully enter Nihuang Academy.
The talent he has shown now is indeed rare in Liubo City. It is not surprising that Dugu Yi wants to see him as soon as possible.
"Please lead the way."
Gu Chen agreed without any further hesitation.
He originally planned to ask Dugu Yi to solve the problem of the teleportation array, but now he took the initiative to invite it, saving himself from managing it himself.
Nie Yuanzheng immediately led the way, and the two left the Phoenix Tower.
This man was taciturn and paused halfway through the walk, looking around.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Chen was confused.
"I want to think about where the dean's residence is."
Nie Yuanzheng answered.
Gu Chen smiled. It had been a long time since this man left the Phoenix Tower. He was not even familiar with Nihuang Academy.
"How about I go there by myself?"
Gu Chen said.
"No, the dean asked me to take you there. I have to watch you arrive."
Nie Yuanzheng shook his head.
Why does this sound so much like escorting a prisoner?
It took some time before Nie Yuanzheng took Gu Chen to the pine forest that he had noticed before.
This is indeed Duguyi's residence. There is a cave inside through the pine forest, and there are classic and unique human buildings everywhere.
Dugu Yi was planting flowers and raising fish in his yard. When Gu Chen and Gu Chen arrived, his tea had just been brewed.
"Dean, the people are here."
Nie Yuanzheng said.
"I am already the former dean. I have said this several times."
Dugu Yi shook his head, seeming a little helpless at Nie Yuanzheng's stubborn temper.
Gu Chen looked at Dugu Yi. The old man's temperament was not as good as that of Zeng Ge. His hair style was like a broom and his body was stooped. He didn't look like a fairy, but had a bit of a businessman vibe.
But he is a genuine monk in the Celestial Realm, and he has gone a long way in the Celestial Realm...
"Gu Xiaoyou, I heard that you want to borrow the teleportation array leading to the human world?"
Dugu Yi poured tea for the two of them and got to the point quickly.
"Yes, I wonder if it is convenient for Dean Dugu? I am willing to bear all the expenses required for a teleportation. In addition, I will give Dean a reward."
Gu Chen also made it clear that the more people the teleportation array transports, the more consumables will be used and the higher the cost.
Gu Chen's meaning was very clear. As long as he was allowed to take this teleportation array, no matter how many other people Dean Dugu had to bring, the cost would be borne by him.
This alone showed full sincerity, and he also said that he would give me another reward, which was very reasonable.
Dugu Yi just smiled after hearing Gu Chen's words, "Gu Xiaoyou is quite happy, but you are worrying too much. You and I are of the same human race and we should help each other."
Dugu Yi said, paused and looked at Nie Yuanzheng.
"After this final exam, I was planning to send a group of people to the human world, and Yuan Zheng is one of them."
"It doesn't make any difference if you have one more you. You can just go with Yuan Zheng when the time comes. As for the cost, forget it."
Dugu Yi was very generous, but Gu Chen sighed secretly when he heard it.
He is afraid of this, so he would rather spend more money.
Favor debts are the hardest to repay, so Dugu Yi is preparing to show favor to himself.
"Then why are you embarrassed? My disciple will be with me when the time comes. The cost for two people is not cheap. We can't take advantage of Dean Dugu."
Gu Chen declined.
"Your disciple? Do you mean the little beauty who came with you? It doesn't matter, she can go too."
Dean Dugu waved his hand to avoid talking too much.
Gu Chen was slightly silent. It was too easy to borrow this teleportation array. He wanted to refuse, but it would do him no good to annoy the other party.
That’s all, aren’t you just trying to sell yourself a personal favor?
There's no way he can go anywhere, but he can still afford the favor. This Dugu Yi has a lot of vision!
"Then thank you very much, Dean Dugu."
Gu Chen showed a grateful look in his eyes, and Dugu Yi nodded with satisfaction when he saw that he didn't shirk anymore.
"Dean, I wonder if I can take a look at the teleportation array first?"
Gu Chen made a small request. In fact, he had noticed that the teleportation array was behind Dugu Yi's yard.
"Why? Are you still worried that my teleportation array is fake?"
Dugu Yi smiled.
"To be honest with you, Dean, I have done some research on the formation. It would be a pity not to take a look at this formation that can teleport to the human world over a long distance."
Gu Chen said neither humble nor arrogant.
"oh?"
Dugu Yi's eyes flickered.
This son's talent in swordsmanship is already outstanding, and his skills in formations are equally broad and profound. Besides being so good in swordsmanship, can he also make achievements in formations?
Dugu Yi didn't believe it at all, but he didn't refuse and led Gu Chen to the backyard.
A huge teleportation array with intricate lines like a sea of stars came into view, and Gu Chen took a closer look.
When there was chaos in Nihuang Academy and he successfully obtained the thunder eggs, this teleportation array was the key to escape. Of course, he had to make sure that this array was safe and reliable.
With his knowledge of formations, he could confirm at a glance that there was no problem with the teleportation formation, and he even had an estimate of how long it would take to activate.
He was like a mirror in his heart, but on the surface he asked deliberately.
"Dean, I wonder how long it will take to activate the teleportation array?"
"Two hours, maybe."
Duguyi answered casually, this guy is a bit strange, normal people wouldn't care about such details.
"Two hours? If the situation is urgent, it's a bit dangerous."
Gu Chen said seemingly unintentionally.
"What emergency could there be?"
Dugu Yi was stunned.
"Dean, it's better to prepare early. Before the final exam, it's best to keep the teleportation array activated at all times."
