Slay demons and gain sixty years of skill at the beginning

Gu Chen stood in front of the door, looking at the gilt gold plaque on the door not far away, which had two big Chinese characters written on it: Zhou Mansion.

This is one of the most prosperous streets in the entire inner city of Tiandu, and the people who can live here are basically those who hold real power in Daxia.

He took out the letter given by Zhou Rang, checked it, and after confirming that it was correct, he stepped forward, and the guard guarding the gate immediately stopped him.

There were two guards guarding the door. Gu Chen looked at their auras. If his prediction was correct, these two guards should have a cultivation level no less than Tongmai Realm.

Although the Tongmai realm is only the fourth realm of martial arts, the journey to martial arts is extremely difficult. It takes more than ten years just to build the foundation. Basically, most of the warriors in the world stay in the first three realms of martial arts.

Even Gu Chen, without the blessing of the panel, would have to go through at least several years of hard training before he could reach the state of Tongmai.

A Tongmai realm warrior can be at least a seventh-level official in Daxia, and those with stronger talent and strength can serve as the imperial envoy in Jingtiansi.

But now, these two Tongmai realm warriors can only guard the door. This also means that with Gu Chen's level, when he comes to Zhou Mansion, he is just a gatekeeper, which is on the same level as Gu Mansion's concierge, Uncle Zhang.<

/p>

From this we can see that the status gap between the two sides is really extremely wide.

If it weren't for Zhou Rang's letter, Gu Chen would have no chance to stand here.

Immediately, Gu Chen took out the letter, handed it to the guard, and said, "Please let me know, there is a letter here from Mr. Zhou."

"Wait a moment."

The guard glanced at the letter, took it, opened the door and walked in. The other guard stayed in front of the door to guard Gu Chen.

Not long after, the previous guard came back and said to Gu Chen: "Please follow me."

"Okay."

Gu Chen nodded, and under the leadership of the guards, he walked into the Zhou Mansion.

After entering the door, the area inside is wider than it looks from the outside, and the sight is extremely wide. In the courtyard, as far as the eye can see, there are pavilions, pavilions, rockery, lush green plants, and lush vegetation, just like a royal garden.

Scenery.

Although the Gu Mansion is also a house with three entrances and three exits, compared with this place, it is no different than a cesspool and a villa.

Land in the inner city is precious, and housing prices are much more expensive than in the outer city. This is one of the most prosperous streets in the inner city. If you want to buy such a huge mansion here, it is useless to have money.

, the most important thing is to have the right.

"This is really prosperous." Looking at the various scenes in front of him, Gu Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart. With his current salary, even if he added Gu Chengfeng's, he would never be able to afford such a residence in ten lifetimes.

The mansion was very vast. Under the leadership of the guards, the two of them turned around and walked through several corridors and arrived at the main hall of the mansion.

Above the main seat in the hall, there is a black-haired man with a majestic face, an upright body, thick eyebrows and big eyes sitting there, looking down at the letter sent by Gu Chen.

After the guards brought Gu Chen here, they quietly retreated.

Gu Chen stood in the hall, secretly sizing up the middle-aged man sitting on the main seat. He was wearing an official uniform, with a mirror embroidered on his chest, and the edges were dotted with light golden textures. This was the first-level member of the Daxia Mirror Department.

The official uniform of the mirror holder.

For second-level mirror holders, the mirror on the chest is silver-edged, while for third-level mirror holders, the mirror is copper-edged.

The middle-aged man in front of him is Zhou Rang's eldest son, named Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing inherited part of Zhou Rang's character. He was honest, fair, and aboveboard in doing things. At the same time, he was tough-tempered and resented evil. He disliked people who were corrupt and perverted the law. Once such an official fell into his hands, he would basically end up badly.

Miserable.

In Zhou Qing's eyes, no matter you are a prince, noble, or a minister of the country, as long as you violate the laws of Daxia, you will be treated equally and will be directly arrested by him and thrown into the prison of the Mirror Division.

Having been in a high position for a long time, Zhou Qing has naturally developed the aura of a superior person. In addition, he is a master of the seventh martial arts realm and the Gang Qi realm. Even though he has deliberately restrained his aura, he still gives

People have a heavy pressure, like a big mountain, which makes people unable to breathe.

When many officials were interrogated by Zhou Qing, it was precisely because they could not bear the pressure that most of the time they would confess on their own without the need for Zhou Qing to use too many methods.

"Gu Chen?"

Zhou Qing raised his head slightly and looked at Gu Chen below with majestic eyes. His face was cold and hard, his facial features were sharp and angular, and there was no smile at all.

"It's the official."

Gu Chen lowered his head and clasped his fists with a respectful tone. The status gap between the two sides was too great. Zhou Qing was equivalent to the commander of Jingtiansi. In the past, Gu Chen had never seen a person of this level. There was no chance for the two sides to meet.<

/p>

In Daxia, Zhou Qing is definitely considered a front-line figure.

Even if the two parties are not in the same system, if Zhou Qing wants to deal with Gu Chen, he can find a hundred ways in an instant.

Zhou Qing silently looked at Gu Chen below, without saying anything. He knew his father's character well, and he also knew the purpose of asking Gu Chen to send him a letter, which was to give him a chance to support Gu Chen.<

/p>

But at Zhou Qing's level, Gu Chen is really inconspicuous. Daxia has a vast land and rich resources, and is the most powerful country in Kyushu. Tiandu is also full of talents. I don't know how many young heroes there are. Many emerge every year, but in the end, the real

Over the years, there have been only a few who have achieved something or caught his eye.

He knows that Zhou Rang intends for him to support Gu Chen, but in Zhou Qing's view, not everyone is worthy of Zhou Qing's support, and he is not a person with that kind of personality who can be noticed by Zhou Qing.

At least, what Gu Chen has done so far is not enough.

It’s not that Zhou Qing looks down on Gu Chen, it’s just the fact.

Zhou Qing didn't speak, and Gu Chen naturally couldn't speak either. He could only stand there with his head bowed. At this moment, his muscles all over his body were tense, and the skin hidden under his clothes even had goosebumps because of the pressure Zhou Qing had brought to him.

It was getting bigger and bigger, like a big mountain, oppressing him little by little from far to near.

The strength gap between the two people is also huge. The further they go in martial arts, the greater the gap becomes. For a master like Zhou Qing, who is at the seventh level of martial arts, if he wants to defeat Gu Chen, he doesn't need to take action personally. He just relies on his own momentum.

That's enough.

Gu Chen also understood that Zhou Qing was deliberately testing him. Only after passing this test could he be qualified to talk to Zhou Qing.

I don't know how much time passed, but just when cold sweat was about to appear on Gu Chen's forehead, Zhou Qing finally spoke.

"I have read the content of the letter, and I also know what my father means. If you save Ning Cheng, it is equivalent to saving my father's life. I don't like to be in debt. If you need anything, you can tell me.

Come out, of course, you should have heard about my character. If you are trying to repay favors and dream of reaching the sky in one step, then you better avoid it and just go back to where you came from."

When Zhou Qing spoke, the pressure on Gu Chen instantly disappeared. He suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. Gu Chen raised his head and looked at Zhou Qing, who was sitting at the top. His eyes were clear and he said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "

Mr. Zhou, I don’t have any plans. I am just entrusted by Mr. Zhou to send you a letter. Now that the letter has been delivered, if there is nothing wrong, I will resign first."

Gu Chen is not stupid. He can see that Zhou Qing doesn't like him at all. Of course, he also understands that if it were him, he might have the same reaction as Zhou Qing. How could the dragon care about ants?<

/p>

Moreover, Gu Chen never thought that he would be able to establish a relationship with Zhou Qing and then reach the sky. He believed that with his own potential, he would one day reach Zhou Qing's height, or even higher.

All he lacks now is time.

Of course, Gu Chen understood Zhou Rang's kindness, otherwise he would not have accepted this commission.

After hearing Gu Chen's answer, Zhou Qing was still calm and unfazed. He looked at Gu Chen expressionlessly and said, "If that's the case, then just retreat."

It doesn't matter to him whether Gu Chen makes a request or not, and he won't think much of Gu Chen because of his answer.

"Yes."

Gu Chen nodded, then turned and left.
