Inside the Star Picking Pavilion, the atmosphere was tense.

No one dared to speak, and their backs were drenched in cold sweat.

Although Gu Changge was asking Chu Xuan and not them, she could empathize with that kind of pressure.

Even Lin Qiuhan, who was talking to Gu Changge calmly before, felt the terrifying pressure.

Even though Young Master Gu was usually gentle and elegant, he was still condescending deep down in his bones, exuding a god-like majesty!

This was his real side!

But she was also a little curious. Who was this guy named Ye Chen? She never paid much attention to news, so she did not know what happened in the Eastern Barren Territory not long ago.

At this time, Su Qingge opened her mouth and said in a cold and apologetic tone, "Young Master, the Central Plains is so vast. If a person wants to hide, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack to find him. I think it's very difficult for Chu Xuan to find him …"

Hearing Su Qingge's words, everyone looked at the rumored number one beauty of the Eastern Barren Territory for the first time.

She had been quietly standing behind Gu Changge without saying a word. She was like a flower in the water.

They did not dare to look at her too much, for fear that Gu Changge would be displeased.

One had to admit that Su Qingge deserved the title of Taixuan Saintess.

Her face was covered by a white gauze, and her clothes were whiter than snow.

She was pure and ethereal, and had an otherworldly temperament, like a fairy from the Ninth Heaven.

All the excellent girls in front of them were overshadowed by her. They were not even qualified to be compared to her.

"She really looks like a beauty who can bring disaster to a country. Unfortunately, her heart is evil …"

Jin Yang could not help but curse in his heart. He did not have a good impression of Su Qingge.

But everyone was also curious. Under such terrifying pressure, Su Qingge still dared to persuade Gu Changge.

How much courage was required to do that?

Chu Xuan could not help but show a grateful expression.

"Even Qingge said so. Then let's forget about it. Chu Xuan, don't let me down …"

Gu Changge's voice was very calm, so Jin Yang could not tell what he was thinking.

"Yes, yes, yes. Don't worry, young master. I will definitely find Ye Chen's traces."

Chu Xuan was relieved and hurriedly patted his chest to express his relief. He broke out in a cold sweat.

Being with a king was like being with a tiger.

This scene shocked everyone once again. How could the Taixuan Holy Lady be so favored? He was actually able to persuade this young lord.

They couldn't help but change the way they looked at Su Qingge. Before, they were peers, but now they were in awe of her.

"Thank you, young master." Su Qingge smiled at Gu Changge, seeming to be very happy.

Of course, she knew that the reason why Gu Changge did this was purely to scare Chu Xuan.

As for the reason, she couldn't guess.

After all, it was Gu Changge who intentionally let Ye Chen escape, so how could he not know where Ye Chen went?

Therefore, she played along with Gu Changge and helped him get out of this embarrassing situation.

Gu Changge's expression did not change, but he could not help praising Su Qingge's intelligence in his heart.

Only a smart woman like her who knew his intentions would be likable.

Just now, when they heard Ye Chen's name, no one revealed a strange expression. She was quite good at maintaining her composure.

Of course, Gu Changge was not in a hurry.

He was interested to see how long this person could hold back.

Following that, everyone began to tremble in fear.

Some of the sky-prides were quite active and began to ask Chu Xuan about Ye Chen's background and how he offended this young lord.

Chu Xuan began to explain to them how Ye Chen was courting death and offending the young master.

After hearing this, the sky-prides' expressions changed.

"Why do I feel like I've heard of him before …"

Came from Eastern Wasteland, no background, in his early twenties, Divinity realm cultivation base, extraordinary talent …

Why did Jialou Holy Son Jin Yang's description sound so similar? Moreover, when asked for his name, he didn't say anything.

At this time, many of them faintly guessed and revealed strange smiles.

They naturally did not care about their friendship with Jialou Holy Son.

After all, this was something that could curry favor with Gu Changge!

"Lord, I feel that Jialou Holy Son should know about Ye Chen's whereabouts …"

Yuanchu Holy Son immediately took the lead and reported what Jialou Holy Son Jin Yang had said in the pavilion.

"Not good, this damned Yuanchu Holy Son …"

Hearing this, Jin Yang's face faintly paled and cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He was a little regretful that he had spoken too quickly.

"Oh, Jialou Holy Son, do you know Ye Chen?"

At the head of the table, Gu Changge unhurriedly blew on his tea and asked in a calm voice.

Everything was within his expectations!

His gaze quickly fell on this young man whose hair seemed to be burning. He looked like the son of the sun.

Buzz!

The terrifying and boundless pressure from before enveloped them once again.

All the sky-prides in the Central Region couldn't help but turn pale and tremble from the bottom of their souls.

Just how frightening was this young lord's strength?

Even their Saint Lord and Emperor Lord were far from his level.

Could he be a marquis?

But he seemed to be about the same age as them, maybe even a little younger.

"As expected of Young Master Gu, you are so much stronger than father." Lin Qiuhan couldn't help but reveal admiration in her eyes.

"So this is Young Master's goal? To find out who is related to Ye Chen? "At this moment, Su Qingge somewhat understood.

But she didn't understand why Young Master knew that there were people here who were related to Ye Chen.

In her eyes, Gu Changge was becoming more and more unfathomable.

"Lord, I do know Brother Ye Chen …"

Jin Yang opened his mouth and said. Facing the terrifying pressure, his face was slightly pale and he couldn't breathe.

This made him incomparably shocked. They were both young, but how could the gap between them be so huge?

One was in the sky and the other was on the ground.

At this moment, even if he didn't admit that he didn't know Ye Chen, he couldn't.

When he was talking with the other sky-prides, he had already revealed a lot.

He was a little regretful now. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have said so much.

"Oh, it's good that you know him. Where is Ye Chen now?"

Gu Changge's expression didn't change. He still asked casually.

"I'm sorry, Lord. I can't expose Brother Ye Chen's whereabouts." Jin Yang gritted his teeth and said. His back was wet with cold sweat.

He finally understood how terrifying this young lord's strength was.

Just his aura alone was completely unbearable.

No wonder Ye Chen wanted to go far away and didn't dare to show up.

But he didn't want to cause Brother Ye Chen's whereabouts to be exposed because of his loose tongue. This would make him feel guilty.

"Idiot, I'll ask you again. Where is Ye Chen now?"

Gu Changge's expression finally turned cold. His eyes were deep, revealing an unquestionable majesty like that of a deity.

"Lord, Ye Chen is my sworn brother. I know his character very well. Is there any misunderstanding between you two …"

Jin Yang gritted his teeth and trembled all over. Under such majesty, he couldn't help but want to kneel down.

But he had pride in his heart and didn't want to give in, so he still defended Ye Chen.

"It's your honor that I asked you."

Gu Changge looked at him coldly. His expression was as if he was looking at an ant. His tone was emotionless. "What qualifications do you have to ask me?"

As these words fell, a terrifying pressure enveloped Jin Yang like a tide.

Jin Yang cried out and spat out a mouthful of blood. He then knelt down on the ground, his face as pale as paper.

He couldn't even resist!

"Holy Son is stupid and offended Lord. I hope Lord can forgive him!"

At this time, Jin Yang's secret protector was also frightened and hurriedly appeared.

With a plop, he knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness. His expression was incomparably terrified.

He never thought that things would suddenly develop to this point.

How could the Holy Son be so stupid? He would bring disaster to the Holy Land!

The Star Picking Pavilion was deathly silent. Everyone kept quiet out of fear, as if they were facing the wrath of heaven.

"Ding! Random mission to suppress the Son of Fortune completed. Mission calculating …"

"Random mission rating: Perfect."

"Destiny points increased by 40%. Final reward: 700 destiny points."

At this time, the system notification sounded in Gu Changge's mind.
