His body was a little stiff, and Lay Tao Hua turned his head, with a slightly embarrassed smile on his face.
"Where do we not meet in Tianya? I didn't expect Chen Daoyou to be a member of my Wuwang Pavilion. If I had known this, I should have had a drink with you in Peidu and got to know you better."
This sentence should have been said a few days ago when I reunited with Gu Chen, but Taohua Layman kept hiding, pretending not to know Gu Chen, until today he took the initiative to talk to him, so he had to bite the bullet and answer.
There is only one reason for this, the last time it was too embarrassing.
At the banquet in the Pei Palace, Lay Taohua appeared with great momentum, and he went there with the intention of shocking the entire Pei Kingdom.
However, the result was that instead of completing the task of killing Tang Xuance, he fled after only a few rounds of fighting with Gu Chen, which became a big joke.
This matter quickly spread within the Wuwang Pavilion, but under the deliberate blockade, most people didn't know who made him touch a nail and made him feel ashamed.
For this high-level mission, Wuwangge once again let Taohua Layman lead the team, and there is actually a guy in the team who made him feel ashamed last time. If other team members know, what is the majesty of his national war-level killer?
So he pretended to be confused along the way, trying not to have any conversations with Gu Chen, worried that he would reveal his embarrassing things.
Fortunately, the other party also considered to save face, cooperated along the way, and pretended not to know him, which gradually made him feel at ease.
It's a pity that the other party didn't plan to pretend to be deaf and dumb after all, and he still came to the door right now.
Glancing at the four elite killers in the distance, he made sure that they couldn't hear the conversation between the two of them, so Lay Taohua didn't hide his words.
"I didn't expect fellow daoist to lead the team on this mission. It's really fate. Don't worry, fellow daoist. I won't tell other people what happened in Peidu. I'll talk to fellow daoist alone, just because the mission is coming soon. I don't want any misunderstandings caused by our previous holidays, which will affect the mission."
Gu Chen explained his purpose with a smile, and his guarantee made Lay Tao Hua let down a lot of guards.
"So, fellow Daoist Chen was too worried. You and I were all on missions in Pei before. This time, you and I are also on missions together. I believe we are both professional enough!" Layman Taohua emphasized.
"I'm relieved if fellow daoist said that, but in the principle of being open and honest, I have a question I want to ask fellow daoist." Gu Chen changed the topic.
"Chen Daoyou, what questions do you have?"
"This time I was selected by the Pavilion Master to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime mission. I don't know if this is what Daoist means?"
Gu Chen greeted him with a smile, but the Taohua layman who was listening could not help but twitch his brows. "How could Chen Daoyou have such an idea?"
"Chen has just joined the Wuwang Pavilion not long ago. Isn't it strange that he can participate in such high-level missions even though he has not made an inch of merit?"
"When I saw fellow daoist, I was thinking, could it be that fellow daoist recommended me to the pavilion master, otherwise how could I have such an honor?"
"Considering that Chen made the fellow daoist lose face last time, but the fellow daoist recommended me to perform the dream-level task without any suspicion, it really makes people daydream..."
As Gu Chen was talking, his expression suddenly became cold, and there was a faint murderous intent lingering around.
Only Layman Taohua could feel this murderous intent, his expression changed immediately, and he explained in a panic: "You Daoist Chen, please don't misunderstand, I definitely didn't recommend you to the pavilion master, I didn't even know you were my own at the beginning! "
The meaning behind what Gu Chen said was obvious, and he suspected that Jushi Taohua deliberately played tricks and wanted him to join this mission so that he could plot against him.
If you admit to such a thing, be good, it will be strange if the other party doesn't do it right away!
Although the fight last time was short, Jushi Taohua knew very well that he was definitely not the opponent of this person in front of him, so he didn't want to be rubbed on the ground by the opponent!
Once you are really beaten and lying on the ground, it is a small matter to be injured physically, but a big problem to lose your face!
If he can deal with the other party in a friendly manner, he will never provoke him, even if he appears to be a bit cowardly, it doesn't matter!
"Oh? If that's the case, why did the pavilion master take a fancy to me?" Gu Chen clenched his fists in protest with an expression of disbelief.
"Aren't you Miss Ye's partner? Miss Ye is the adopted daughter of the pavilion master, so it's normal for him to value you!" Lay Taohua blurted out, and stepped back a few steps while speaking, lest Gu Chen would really make a move.
"Is that so?" Gu Chen's eyes flickered.
Yemi explained the reason to him, but he still didn't quite believe it, and always felt that Ye Wunian might have ulterior motives.
He originally wanted to figure out his thoughts from the exchange with Ye Wunian, but the exchange time between the two was too short, so he could only start with Taohua Layman.
Now Layman Taohua's statement is similar to that of Yemi, Gu Chen can't help but wonder if he is worrying too much.
Seeing Lay Tao Hua's fearful face, ready to run away at any time, Gu Chen knew that there would be no result if he asked again, so he smiled. "I'm bothering fellow Taoist, hurry up and rest."
After he finished speaking, he turned and left, and Lay Taohua breathed a sigh of relief, and then his face showed a pensive look, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Did I read it right just now? Lay Taohua took several steps back?" Tu Xiong, who was resting in the distance, raised his eyebrows and said in surprise.
Although they couldn't hear what Gu Chen and Lay Taohua were talking about, they could see their movements and expressions from a distance.
Gu Chen turned his back to them and couldn't see anything, but the expression on Lay Taohua's face was somewhat intriguing, and the sudden defensive retreat made people even more confused.
"Looking at Layman Taohua's body movements, he seems, seems to be a little afraid of that Chen Yi." The goddess of the storm turned serious, this scene was completely unexpected to them before.
"Interesting." The Whisperer let out an eerie low laugh.
"You mean Lay Taohua is afraid of Chen Yi? Don't you think this is too ridiculous?" The craftsman raised his eyebrows, feeling very uncomfortable.
He also saw the scene of the exchange between the two. Layman Taohua's words and deeds were indeed a little strange, but he said that he was afraid of Chen Yi, and he wouldn't believe it even if he killed him.
How can I say that Jushi Taohua is also a national war-level killer, which is the goal they are pursuing now. How can they be afraid of a guy who is not even an elite killer?
"It's ridiculous, but how to explain that scene just now?"
"Maybe it's just a coincidence, well, that guy is here."
During the exchange between the four of them, Gu Chen had already walked over, and the storm girl asked with a smile. "What were Daoyou Chen talking about with Lay Tao Hua just now?"
Gu Chen showed surprise on his face, and few people took the initiative to talk to him along the way.
Taking a closer look, I found that everyone was staring at me with curious expressions, and immediately understood what was going on.
"It's nothing, the destination should be here soon, I couldn't help asking about the details of the mission." Gu Chen nonsense.
"Oh? Did the Peach Blossom Layman answer?" The Storm Girl looked in disbelief. If she was just asking about the mission, how could the Peach Blossom Layman have that kind of reaction?
Besides, along the way, they also made indirect remarks on Lay Taohua, but he kept his mouth shut all the time, keeping the secrecy extremely strict. Isn't Gu Chen's efforts in vain?
