In the main hall, it seemed that every time Gu Chen threw out a word, Xiao Dingshan and the three of them would involuntarily gasp.

At least until now, they hadn't really seen even the side of the Nine Dao Venerable Beasts, let alone fight against such an existence. As for Yangtian, it took a long time for him to be freed from that deep shock, and in the end, he didn't even say a word to look at Gu Chen's arms, for fear of annoying this terrible existence.

During the conversation with the three of them, Gu Chen naturally introduced Hong Wu to them, for this man who was still young, he naturally attached great importance to it, just the thousand phantom spirit fox puppets were special puppets that he longed for but could not reach.

Although the grade is not very high, the hidden special ability also shocked Xiao Dingshan and the others, and after a few conversations, they naturally became acquainted.

Of course, returning to the Dragon and Phoenix Ancient Pavilion this time, Gu Chen was most concerned about Qianduxue, but from the conversation between the three of them, I learned that the latter had been the first disciple of the vice president because of his identity as Fu Seal Master, and since the last time he met him, he has been following the vice president to meditate, and he has not returned to the pavilion for a year.

Gu Chen was naturally extremely happy that Qianduxue could be favored by the vice president and the first disciple to enter the room, but he didn't know when he would be able to see him again, which made him feel a little worried in his heart......

On the chair seat, Gu Chen listened carefully to the various changes in the Dragon and Phoenix Ancient Pavilion in the past year, and in order to do everything in detail, Xiao Dingshan also specially called Manshan to report in detail, although the latter has been in penance for most of the year, at least in the pavilion, he also knows a lot about large and small affairs.

Naturally, after seeing Gu Chen again, as the main member of the first batch of Star Squad to follow Gu Chen, Manshan was also extremely happy. And the former's current strong strength is also more confident that the barbarian mountain will follow him to the death.

"Hehe, boss, how long are you going to stay when you come back this time? Brothers haven't seen you in a long time. ”

Among the several people, Manshan smirked and said the hearts of Xiao Dingshan and the others. Hearing this, the latter also invariably cast an inquiring glance at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen smiled faintly, but in his smile, there was a slow helplessness, "I'm afraid it won't be long to come back this time, at the latest tomorrow morning, I will go to Uncle Jiu, and when I will come back after that, I can't tell." ”

"So fast?"

When several people heard this, they were all stunned.

"Yes, there are things that I can't control. Gu Chen sighed, raised his eyes to look at the moonlight cast from the window, and was full of melancholy, "Originally, I thought that the stronger the strength, the greater the freedom, but who would have thought that later, the greater the responsibility, and now I feel a little involuntarily." ”

Strength, the Po Sa clan, and the changes in the Southern Underworld Academy, these, since returning from the fallen peak battle, are like a boulder pressed on his chest, especially the trapped dragon pool and his party, after shouldering that mission-like responsibility, he has not had even a moment to relax.

At one time, he also thought about burning all of them to the ground, and he was at ease, and he was free to roam between heaven and earth.

However, this piece of heaven and earth has given him such a heavy mission, no matter what the result is, he is duty-bound to shoulder this responsibility.

What's more, until now, he didn't even know his mother's name.

"Hehe, I can come back to see you once, and I will be satisfied. ”

Thinking of this, Gu Chen wanted to be hysterical from the bottom of his heart, but he couldn't.

"When Xue'er comes back, you take me to say hello to her, and I will definitely come back if I have a chance in the future." ”

"Oh, yes, Dingshan. ”

"Yes, Boss. ”

As soon as he heard the mention of himself, Xiao Dingshan immediately turned positive.

Gu Chen waved his hand, signaling him not to be so nervous, "I said before that the Dragon and Phoenix Ancient Pavilion will be the most important foundation for us in the future, have you ever cared about Lu Qi and Ren Yao in the past year?"

Xiao Dingshan nodded, and when Gu Chen mentioned Lu Qi, there seemed to be a visible soft light in his tiger eyes: "Third Miss and Ren Yao have taken care of the ancient pavilion outside in an orderly manner, and they are developing better and better now, except for the Tianyan Imperial Family, I am afraid that the entire Tianyan City has the right to speak." ”

"Is that so?"

Hearing this, Gu Chen didn't nod, but he also shook his head, just frowned slightly, thought carefully for a moment, and then said: "The bigger the tree and the wind, fame, fortune and power are just floating clouds, and when you take the time to go to them, just say that I said, just secretly strengthen your power, it is best not to have too much intersection with the Tianyan Imperial Family, and do not touch the bottom line of the Tianyan Imperial Family." ”

"Okay, I'll let them know as soon as I can. ”

Xiao Dingshan nodded again.

They all understood the truth that the side of the couch could not allow others to snore, the Tianyan Imperial Clan was able to control the Tianyan Empire for such a long time, so they naturally had his background and strength, and as for being able to tolerate the development of strength like the Dragon and Phoenix Ancient Pavilion. First, the Dragon and Phoenix Ancient Pavilion has not yet touched his bottom line, and second, the Dragon and Phoenix Ancient Pavilion still has the value of use for them.

But once this delicate relationship is broken, it's hard to say what the outcome will be. As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, and the development of the Dragon and Phoenix Ancient Pavilion is the same as that of the Tianyan Imperial Family. When the other party realizes that you are already a sufficient existence to threaten his status, all kinds of tricks will be used.

After that, he was silent for a long time, and seeing that a few people didn't say anything more, Gu Chen stood up with a smile, patted a few people on the shoulder one by one, and said: "I'll leave it to you here, I originally thought about leaving early tomorrow morning, but now, it is estimated that Uncle Jiu can't wait." ”

He smiled and squinted at the faint smell of wine wafting from the window, the smell was faint, but it was unusually clear in his nose.

"Are you leaving?"

Xiao Dingshan, sunny sky, thunderstorm at the same time the face was slightly dark.

"Haha...... It's not like I'm not coming back, I believe that the next time we meet, it's when our brothers fight the world together. Gu Chen said with a smile, and then saw his face suddenly change and said: "Dingshan, Xiaotian, Brother Lei, I still hope that the three of you can enter the Heavenly Academy for further study, with your talent, I believe that it will not take long for you to grow to a very good point." ”

"As for the Dragon and Phoenix Ancient Pavilion, I think it is enough to have Manshan Mountain here now. ”

Xiao Dingshan flashed when he heard this, and his face tightened again. In fact, the Heavenly Courtyard was not the place they longed for, but because of the relationship between the Dragon and Phoenix Ancient Pavilion, they were unwilling to let the country that Gu Chen had single-handedly fought fall into, so they had not participated in the Heaven and Earth Brawl.

And Gu Chen naturally understood the concerns of several of them, so in order for the three of them not to have any more burdens, he continued: "What we have to face next is probably an unimaginable opponent for you, but with your current strength, it is still too far behind. I hope that you can enter the Heavenly Courtyard and work hard to break into the Haotian Spectrum, and when that time comes, I, the boss, will personally be in the Heavenly Courtyard to welcome you out. ”

"Yes, Boss......"

As soon as these words came out, the three of them felt relieved for the first time, and they clasped their fists and shouted, and their eyes were shining again for the first time.

Seeing this, Gu Chen smiled, and his smile was never brighter. These brothers are brothers who will accompany him for the rest of his life, and if they want to go on together, strong strength is the most solid backing.

"Okay, that's it, I'll leave the specific arrangements to you. ”

Looking deeply at a few people again, Gu Chen turned around and walked straight towards the palace gate. Behind him, whether it was Xiao Dingshan or Yangtian Thunderstorm, he didn't say a word, just quietly watched this legendary man go away.

Perhaps, as he said, the next time they meet, it will be when their brothers crisscross the continent.

......

The night was deep, and a pitch-black curtain of ink shrouded the sky above Haotian Academy, and in this night, except for the largest building in the sphere of influence, everything seemed to fall into a deep sleep, and the heaven and the earth were quiet.

Shout!

In the sky above the sphere of influence, no one noticed that on the black canopy, an aurora stream passed quickly, and where the figure passed, there was not a trace left, as if it had never appeared, but quietly flew towards the courtyard, the building that represented the center of power......

Basement.

This spacious underground, as always, is full of wine, and the wine shelves are full of wine jars next to each other, and the refreshing aroma fills the whole room, making people feel that the wine is not intoxicating and everyone is drunk and warm.

And at this moment, in the depths of these two rows of wine racks, on an old wooden chair that has existed for an unknown number of years, a figure sits comfortably. His hair was unkempt, his beard was unkempt, and his face was full of shallow wrinkles.

In this wine-scented space, he raised the wine gourd in his hand from time to time and poured it into a big sip, and the corner of his eyes that seemed to be closed was glancing at the entrance of the room from time to time, as if waiting for something.

Squeak!

In the silence, there was a sudden groan of pain from the old wooden door, and another figure flashed in. The moment he entered, the man first paused, as if to get used to the aroma of the wine, and then, after a pause, the man walked briskly forward, through two rows of high wine racks, and walked straight to the old wooden chair.

"Uncle Wine, I'm back!"

The person who came respectfully hugged his fists and bowed down, burying his head deeply, in front of the person in front of him, he did not dare to have a trace of disrespect, because it can be said that most of what he has now is given by the latter.

His voice fell, and he didn't look up. And the sloppy middle-aged man on the wooden chair didn't open his eyes for a long time, he just swayed slowly with the swaying of the wooden chair.

And only when the voice died away, the corners of the middle-aged man's closed eyes suddenly oozed a little bit of wetness, which seemed to show his inner catharsis at the moment.

For a long time, it wasn't until Gu Chen stood for about a quarter of an hour that the middle-aged man's muffled voice slowly sounded.

"Have you, really, seen him?"
