The owner of Penglai Island came to the rescue, but in Gu Chen's opinion, it was like a weasel giving New Year greetings to a chicken, no matter how he looked at it, he was unkind.
He thought of the inexplicable death of Xiao Jing and other Tiandao Sect disciples. He originally suspected that Zuo Chunqiu had done it, but now it suddenly dawned on him that this incident was more likely to be the work of Penglai Island Master...
Gu Chen didn't quite understand Zuo Chunqiu's motives at first. After all, Zuo Chunqiu just wanted the Emperor's Time Fist, and there was no reason to do it so absolutely.
It turned out that he thought that maybe he had conflicts with Xiao Jing and others, and he just got rid of them by the way.
But when he fought with the opponent today, he clearly thought that Xiao Jing was killed by him, and he felt strange at that time.
At this time, the owner of Penglai Island helped to save him and deliberately revealed his true appearance. He immediately understood.
I am afraid that when the Penglai Island Master saw that he had left the Gu clan, his original thoughts about him were ready to change.
He chose the same approach as when he was on the Penglai Immortal Island, letting himself be chased by all the major sects, trying to make him have no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth, so in the end he had no choice but to turn to him for help.
It's just that this time he did it more cleverly. He didn't show his face from beginning to end, and didn't appear until the moment of life and death.
If I were a person who was inexperienced in the world, I might be grateful to him at this time and put all my past grudges aside, but it was a pity that Gu Chen was not the case.
As soon as he appeared, Gu Chen made a guess about what happened, but he had no evidence, and the owner of Penglai Island really saved him, so he maintained restraint.
Regardless of whether the Penglai Island Master did the thing or not, it would do no good to break up with him and face him.
What you should be thinking about now is how to deal with him next.
The Lord of Penglai Island went around in such a big circle, and the purpose of Ba Cheng was to make himself join him and practice the weird "Ascension Technique".
Since he was pretending to be kind and would not break up with him directly, he simply made peace with him, so as to ensure his own safety.
"Little friend Gu, now that you have offended the Thirteen Immortal Sects, it can be said that it is difficult to move forward on this fairy continent. Now that the Gu clan cannot go back, have you thought of a place to go?"
The owner of Penglai Island exchanged greetings with Gu Chen, looking concerned.
"Although Penglai Immortal Island is also part of the Fairy Continent, it is overseas after all, far away from the sphere of influence of the Thirteen Immortal Sects. If you can trust me, you can go back to Penglai Pavilion with me. I promise that I will not do anything to your cultivation again.
Pointing fingers."
He actually frankly expressed his intention to let Gu Chen go with him.
Gu Chen had a weird look on his face. Did the Penglai Island Master sincerely say what he said? Did he think he was a three-year-old child?
The relationship between the two had already broken down last time. How could he believe it when he said this?
The owner of Penglai Island is too wise to tell such a lie, unless his words are somewhat sincere.
Gu Chen examined the Penglai Island Master. No matter whether he was sincere or hypocritical, he would not be fooled again.
No one falls into the same pit twice.
If only the owner of Penglai Island comes to save him today, and he has no choice, he may really have no choice but to follow him.
In this way, his plan to frame himself was truly successful.
Fortunately, there is one more variable today.
Gu Chen looked at Wu Lingxian and said with a smile, "Thank you to the island owner for your kindness, but I have decided to join the Martial Palace."
Penglai Island Master's expression suddenly condensed, while Wu Lingxian's mouth showed a faint smile.
I was thinking about whether to recruit this kid, but I didn't expect him to be so sensible, so I chose to join the Martial Palace.
The owner of Penglai Island was silent for a moment. "Gu Xiaoyou, please think about it carefully. The origin of Wudian is unknown. He had no reputation on the mainland before, so it may not be able to guarantee your safety."
"Huh, Martial Palace will be as powerful as the Thirteen Immortal Sects sooner or later." Wu Lingxian was a little dissatisfied upon hearing this.
"Junior is not someone who needs protection from others all the time. Moreover, Senior Wu and I share the same goals. I believe joining the Wu Palace is a wise choice."
Gu Chen said that in fact, he didn't like to join any sect, but because the Penglai Island Master was right in front of him, he needed an excuse to refuse him.
Moreover, Wu Lingxian's strength is indeed strong enough, and he is at odds with the Thirteen Immortal Sects. Now that he has offended all the Thirteen Immortal Sects to death, the two are the same enemies and are worthy of trust.
The owner of Penglai Island is different in this regard. He is good at calculations and has a harmonious relationship with the Thirteen Immortals Sect on the surface. Who knows if if you follow him, you will be betrayed by him one day.
"Boy, you won't regret it. Joining the Martial Palace will be the smartest choice in your life. Based on your previous performance, I will give you the position of deputy palace master."
Wu Lingxian smiled.
"Deputy Palace Master?"
Now Gu Chen and the owner of Penglai Island were surprised. They didn't expect Wu Lingxian to be so generous.
Isn't the deputy palace master second only to the palace master? When the palace master is absent, the huge martial arts palace will be commanded by Gu Chen?
The owner of Penglai Island felt a little scared, it seemed that Wu Lingxian valued Gu Chen very much.
If that were the case, things would be a lot more difficult.
The Penglai Island Master frowned. Many things that happened today were beyond his expectation, especially Wu Lingxian.
He originally wanted to lend a helping hand to Gu Chen when he was desperate and let him follow him willingly from now on, but who would have thought that Wu Lingxian would take the lead.
This caused his entire plan to be greatly compromised. If he were to forcefully take Gu Chen away now, whether he could defeat Wu Lingxian in a fight or not, even if he won and took Gu Chen away, what would happen if he didn't cooperate obediently?
The owner of Penglai Island knew that his plan could only be implemented smoothly if Gu Chen was willing, otherwise he would not waste so much time and effort.
"We haven't seen you for a few months. This boy has made great progress in cultivation. Not only has he condensed the laws of heaven and earth, but even the bones of the sky have been recovered. I can no longer see the path he took. There is no point in taking him away. I can no longer guide him.
How did he do it..."
"But the end point of this road must be the same. According to his current cultivation speed, he will soon encounter a natural chasm that will be insurmountable no matter what."
"In the end, he still has to return to me. Only I can help him."
Penglai Island Master's eyes showed a strange light, and in just a short moment, he had made a decision in his heart.
"I see, joining the Martial Palace is also a good choice. In this case, I won't force it."
He readily gave up trying to convince Gu Chen, which surprised Gu Chen.
How could this Penglai Island owner be dismissed so easily?
"If you need help with anything in the future, you can contact me at any time."
He took out a jade plate from his storage ring and handed it to Gu Chen.
"No matter how far away you are, you can contact me at any time with this jade plate. After a little research, you can learn how to use it yourself."
Gu Chen took the jade plate and put on a grateful smile. "Thank you, island owner, for your concern."
In fact, he decided to throw this thing as far as he could after he was separated from the island owner. Who knows what the Penglai Island owner did to this thing. I'm afraid if he really accepts it, then every move will be controlled by him.
