"Is that why those two treated me badly before?"
Gu Chen glanced at the second uncle of the Tang family and Gu Gongfeng who were walking in front, and asked again.
The inexplicable hostility, he had to figure it out.
"It's not."
Tang Gaolan, who was talking freely just now, suddenly hesitated again, not because she didn't want to tell Gu Chen about it, but because it was really hard to tell.
"Brother Chen, if you trust Gao Lan, please don't ask more questions for now. Gao Lan promises to try her best and give you a satisfactory answer."
Tang Gaolan pondered for a while, and said sincerely, but this made Gu Chen even more confused, even Tang Jianqing was confused.
"Sister, what's going on? Brother Chen is my savior."
Tang Jianqing emphasized, as if standing in the same camp as Gu Chen.
Tang Gaolan gave him a blank look, and Tang Jianqing wanted to ask more questions, but the team ahead stopped suddenly, and a large group of people suddenly appeared from the fork, stopping the Tang family's people.
"what happened?"
The three people who were communicating stopped, took the lead rope, and moved closer to the front. The second uncle of the Tang family was negotiating with the visitor at this time.
"Shao Jianwu, what do you mean, is it easy to bully when I am the Tang family?"
The second uncle of the Tang family looked cold, and he was questioning a burly middle-aged man who was riding a flame horse.
"Brother Tang is serious. I just want to ask Young Master Tang about something. I'll leave after I'm done." Shao Jianwu said with a half-smile.
"What do you want to ask Jianqing? Did you ask this question? Your Shao family is becoming more and more prestigious now!" The second uncle of the Tang family snorted heavily, but he didn't intend to tear himself apart with the Shao family.
Gu Chen, who was approaching, heard the word Shao's family, looked sideways at Tang Jianqing's reaction, saw that his expression was a little unnatural, and immediately understood that this Shao's family was Shao Heyang's Shao's family.
Shao Heyang was slaughtered by Gu Chen in the barren mountains, and Tang Jianqing was involved in it, so when he saw the Shao family approaching him at this time, he felt guilty and uneasy.
However, Gu Chen looked like an old god, as if the matter had nothing to do with him. This calmness made Tang Jianqing secretly admire him.
"Brother Tang, to be honest, my nephew He Yang joined Luomen together with Young Master Tang, and now Young Master Tang has returned to Peidu safely, but He Yang has no news at all. My elder brother is inevitably worried, so Let me ask."
Shao Jianwu said with a gloomy face that as soon as the Luomen accident happened, Shao Heyang sent someone to send a letter to the Hui family in advance, and the letter also said that he would return to Peidu later.
However, after that, Shao Heyang suddenly disappeared. Not only him, but also Old Wei and many guards lost contact.
This situation was too abnormal and didn't fit Shao Heyang's personality, so the Shao family was very worried during this time, and that's why they came to search for Tang Jianqing as soon as they heard the news of Tang Jianqing's return.
"So that's the case. I can understand Patriarch Shao's concern, but it's too rude to stop the way and ask questions?" The second uncle of the Tang family's eyes flickered, and he looked back at Tang Jianqing.
"I was too impatient. The so-called caring leads to chaos. Please forgive me, Brother Tang. I'll just ask Young Master Tang a few words, okay?"
With a smile on his face, Shao Jianwu motioned for the second uncle of the Tang family to get out of the way.
"Okay, give the Shao family this face."
The second uncle of the Tang family looked uncertain for a while, but finally stepped aside, allowing Shao Jianwu to come in front of Tang Jianqing.
Recently, there is a dark tide in Peidu, and the situation is complicated and confusing. There is no reason to tear yourself apart with the Shao family over such a trivial matter.
Moreover, Tang Jianqing's worship into Luomen is known by many people, and now there are many eyes staring secretly. If he excessively prevents him from contacting others, it will appear that the Tang family has ghosts, and people suspect that the Tang family knows about Luomen's change. Something secretive.
If people think about this sensitive moment so much, the consequences will be disastrous.
When Shao Jianwu arrived in front of Tang Jianqing, he really asked about Shao Heyang, mainly asking if he had seen him on the way back.
Tang Jianqing's psychological quality is better than Gu Chen imagined, and he is still calm on the surface. He said that he has never met Shao Heyang, and he doesn't know what happened to him, so he completely dismissed it.
After asking for a while, seeing that Tang Jianqing couldn't ask anything, Shao Jianwu frowned, and his eyes turned to Gu Chen beside him.
"This one is..."
Gu Chen's clothes are obviously different from those of the Tang family, and he looks dusty, so he can't help not paying attention.
"He is Jianqing's friend and helped him a lot on the way back."
Tang Gaolan hurriedly answered for Gu Chen, her words were a little profound, since it was true, it also ignored Gu Chen's identity as a disciple of Luo Sect.
Gu Chen didn't deny it, and he could see that Tang Gaolan had good intentions.
The change in Luomen has caused turmoil in Peiguo. Now all the forces in Peiguo want to inquire about Luomen's information. If someone finds out that he was a disciple of Luomen, it will inevitably cause trouble.
Tang Jianqing has a strong background, most people dare not touch him casually, but Gu Chen is different.
"Oh? Is that so?"
Shao Jianwu's eyes flickered, staring at the young black-haired man in front of him, especially at the strange cross tattoo on his forehead.
He felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
"I have asked all the questions that should be asked, can I make way?" The second uncle of the Tang family reminded coldly.
Shao Jianwu came back to his senses and turned his horse's head. "Excuse me. Let's go!"
He took the Shao family's men and horses away, and the tense situation of the original confrontation finally disappeared.
"Go ahead and go back to Tang Mansion!"
The second uncle of the Tang family drank, and the team moved on.
Tang Jianqing arrived at the Tang Mansion not long after, Tang Jianqing was immediately called away, while Gu Chen was received by Tang Gaolan, and stayed in a separate courtyard of the Tang family for entertaining guests.
Although he was a guest, Gu Chen quickly noticed after checking in that there were many soldiers from the Water Dance Army acting as guards around his courtyard. They not only guarded his safety, but also secretly watched him.
The overt and secret arrangements made Gu Chen realize that the Tang family's attitude towards him was somewhat ambiguous.
"Interesting, what does the Tang family want to do?"
Gu Chen shook his head, and didn't really care about the Tang family's thoughts, he came here with him mainly to find a place to stay.
No matter what, Tang's mansion is more comfortable than Peidu's inn, and now Tang Jianqing obeys his orders, and many miscellaneous things can be entrusted to him, and it is very convenient for him to inquire about information, which is beneficial to his own plan.
As for the safety issue, he didn't think anyone in the Tang family could threaten him.
After settling in the other courtyard, Gu Chen did not go to see the bustling Peidu for the time being, but spent a few days practicing.
After the eleventh layer of heavenly secret art Hai Chao had achieved great success, he began to comprehend the twelfth layer of heavenly secret art, and he did not give up his practice due to the many things.
On the way to Peidu, he occasionally realized that the cultivation of the twelfth heaven secret art has reached a critical point, and he plans to use a few days to consolidate it.
