C432 Behind the Scenes
Han Chen couldn't help but narrow his eyes. This Gongsun Mao was indeed worthy of being the clan's number one genius, a monstrous genius. Even in the three great empires with such a large population, there were few that could shock the world like him.
The Gongsun Family did not know what virtues the ancestors had accumulated, the younger generation of the clan had so many talents.
One Grand Seal Empire, one Gongsun Family.
The two powers that Han Chen hated the most had actually united together. It looked like the sky of this world was really going to change.
"I advise you not to think about revenge for now." Lambert opened his mouth and said to Han Chen, "Grand Seal Empire and Gongsun Family are now like a huge monster to you."
"I know what I'm doing."
Without waiting for Lambert to finish speaking, Han Chen interrupted him and said, "Thank you for telling me these things and for saving Bai Yu. Next, let's talk about the 'deal'! "
After talking so much, he had finally gotten into the main topic.
Regarding the trade that Han Chen had mentioned, Yan Wu, Qiao Feilin, and even Bai Yu all revealed some confusion.
Lambert raised his grizzled white brows as a few traces of heat and expectation emerged from his murky gaze. "Right here?"
"Right here." Han Chen flipped his palm, and a white scroll appeared in his hand. Before the afternoon came, he had already imprinted the contents of the 'Classic of Longevity' onto it.
"This is what you want. Tell me, where is my father?"
Looking at the scroll in Han Chen's hands, Lambert's face had a faint tinge of excitement, but at the same time, there was some suspicion, as his eyes continued to observe Han Chen's expression.
"What is it? You don't believe this is true? You suspect me of using fake goods to deceive you? " Han Chen said indifferently.
"Heh heh, of course not. Just because you are Han Langyu's son, I have sufficient reasons to believe in you. " Lambert revealed a faint smile, his wrinkled face trembling slightly.
Han Chen raised his eyebrows, and then casually placed the scroll in front of the other party.
Lambert looked calm on the surface, but his eyes revealed a hint of happiness. He was already eighty to ninety years old, and the average human being's lifespan was around the same time limit. And the reason why he thirsted for the Book of Longevity was because he wanted to step into the realm of longevity, slow down his aging, and increase his lifespan.
Lambert let out a light breath and followed, "Your father, Han Langyu, went to a place called 'Barren Star Sea'."
Barren Star Sea?
What is this place? Han Chen frowned, his mind thinking about the place that he had been to before, the place that he knew of, but there was not even the slightest bit of information regarding the Barren Star Sea.
Hua Yumei and Qiao Feilin were both puzzled, but Yan Wu revealed a slight surprised expression. She had lived in this world for thousands of years, so she had some understanding of the "Barren Star Sea". However, she didn't have the intention to say it out loud right now. She just quietly watched from the side.
"What kind of place is the Barren Star Sea?"
"Do you know where this is?" Lambert asked Han Chen instead.
Here? Han Chen's eyes flashed with surprise, "Aren't we in the The City of Innocence?"
"Yes, this is the The City of Innocence, but do you know which region the The City of Innocence belongs to?"
"What the hell do you mean?"
"Our place is called Dongxuan, and the Dongxuan doesn't have this region. That is to say, your father is not in Dongxuan. I do not know the route to Barren Star Sea, and back then, Han Langyu only gave me this place to live on. "
As Lambert spoke, he firmly held onto the scroll that recorded the [Book of Life] in his withered palm. as if afraid that Han Chen would go back on his words.
Without even thinking, one could tell how Han Chen was feeling right now. A single Book of Life and Death was exchanged for the three words' Barren Star Sea '. Anyone would definitely be furious if they were to see this.
Han Chen resisted the urge to flip the table, and his fists clenched so tightly that creaking sounds could be heard. Has my father left any other clues? "
"Nope." Lambert affirmed.
"Alright." Han Chen stood up, holding onto the white jade by his side, he immediately said coldly: "Thank you for saving Bai Yu, I still have things to do, and will take my leave."
Han Chen was currently filled with anger. The Bai Family had been destroyed by the Grand Seal Empire, and now, he felt that he had been tricked by this old man. If not for the last shred of rationality in his heart, he might have already fallen out with Leylin.
"Fei Lin, Yan Wu, let's go." With that, Han Chen picked up Bai Yu and turned to leave.
"Wait." At this time, Lambert suddenly shouted to stop the other party.
"Is there something else?"
"Hur hur, it's like this. The pavilion master of the Blood Drawing Pavilion and your father knew each other back then. I heard that you were here and wanted to meet you. Of course, if you don't want to, then so be it. "
Han Chen looked at Lambert's smiling face with a wave of disgust, and coldly replied: "No need, farewell!"
Right after she finished speaking, a warm, small hand lightly patted Han Chen's shoulder, and turned around to see, what entered her eyes was Yan Wu's beautiful face, which had a hint of a smile.
"No matter what, he is your father's friend. Go and meet him!"
"Hmm?" Han Chen could not help but be startled, which scene did Yan Wu sing out? She would also meddle in such matters. But seeing that the other party's beautiful eyes had a trace of deep meaning, Han Chen lifted his eyelids, and then nodded his head. Fine! Take care of Bai Yu for me, I'll be right back. "
"No problem, we'll wait for you at the door."
"Alright."
After a moment, Yan Wu, Qiao Feilin, and Bai Yu accompanied Hua Yumei out of the pavilion. However, Han Chen followed the Lambert up to the third floor.
In the silent darkness, the Lambert was like a ghost. Walking in the long and narrow corridor, one could only hear the sound of footsteps on the ground.
"Han Chen, you are superior to your father. The two girls that came with you are not bad." Lambert praised as if he was an elder asking a question.
Han Chen laughed, and then said, "It's nothing, I'm just an ordinary girl from an ordinary family."
"Heh heh, it seems like you have a good eye!"
Creak!
When they reached the center of the corridor, a door opened. Right after, a low and deep voice sounded from inside, "Lambert, little friend Han Chen, please enter."
"Hehe, Scarlet liquid, you still like acting mysterious." "Lambert was the first to walk in. His staggering steps made him look like a child who had just learned how to walk, as if he would fall to the ground at any moment. Han Chen, let me introduce you. This is the pavilion master of the Blood Drawing Pavilion, Scarlet Liquid. "
Han Chen followed behind Lambert and walked in. The dark light made the atmosphere in the room look heavy. With Han Chen's eyesight, he could vaguely tell that Scarlet Ointment was around forty years old. He had a squarish face and a beard under his lips. A pair of cold eyes flickered with a bright light.
On the surface, the scarlet liquid did not seem to be anything special, but Han Chen could clearly feel a dangerous aura coming from the opponent's body. As the leader of an assassination organization, he couldn't be an ordinary person.
"Greetings to the Scarlet Liquid Pavilion Master." Han Chen cupped his fists politely, neither servile nor overbearing.
"Hehe, Han Langyu's son, is indeed a dragon amongst men." "Scarlet liquid stood up from the table and slightly waved, making a 'please' gesture." "You two, sit over here, let's chat."
The Lambert sat down confidently in a chair. Han Chen thought for a while and then sat down beside the Lambert.
The three of them sat around the round table, facing each other.
The following topic of conversation was nothing more than Scarlet Liquid praising Han Chen for being especially young. He had won the championship in the Heaven Ranking War, had smiled proudly at the entire audience, and so on and other stuff like that. He also chatted a little about Han Langyu but from Scarlet Liquid's words, one could tell that he and Han Langyu at most knew each other, and there wasn't much friendship between them.
After chatting for a while, Han Chen felt bored and did not want to stay any longer. He stood up and cupped his fists, and said: "The two of you, I have some matters, I will take my leave first."
"Hehe, since little friend Han Chen still has something on his mind, then I will not stay any longer." It was difficult for an ordinary person to imagine him together with the King of Assassins.
"Yes, goodbye."
Han Chen nodded, and after greeting the Lambert for a while, he left the room alone.
Hearing the sound of Han Chen walking down the stairs, the atmosphere in the room instantly became filled with traces of coldness. The tone of the blood worm's voice had also become much lower. It was as cold as a bone-piercing knife.
"It seems that Han Langyu's son has some aversion to you."
"Hur hur, that's right!"
"Aren't you afraid that Han Langyu will settle the score with you in the future if you treat him like this?"
"Calculate?" "Hur Hur Hur Hur." Lambert laughed sinisterly, but shook his head, the laughter had a deeper meaning.
Creak!
At this moment, the door to the room was pushed open and a figure wrapped in a black robe walked out. This person could not see his appearance, and only revealed a pair of hands that were as gaunt as a chicken claw.
The black-robed man slowly raised his head, his pair of dark green eyes like a ghost's, "If that stinking brat had stayed for another cup of tea, I'm afraid I would have been unable to resist tearing him into a thousand pieces."
"Hur hur." The monster laughed as it raised its hand to create a curtain of light. It then placed a barrier around the room to prevent the sound from leaking out.
"Don't be anxious, that brat is currently a popular figure in the The City of Innocence. If you kill him now, you will definitely attract the attention of the Five Great Academies. When that time comes, the plans that we have plotted for might come to fruition. " Scarlet liquid said lightly.
"Hmph, at that time, I will definitely make him die a horrible death." The black robed man said fiercely.
Scarlet Liquid and Lambert looked at each other. The former laughed, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. Then he looked towards the black cloaked man and said, "Hehe, then let's talk about the specific steps to implement this plan! "Elder Gongsun."
