On the second floor of the banquet hall, there was complete silence.

After Gu Shen slapped Meng Xiao's palm away, he turned and left... He left the banquet directly.

Lin Lin put his hands in his pockets and followed slowly.

It wasn't until the two of them left that Meng Xiao slowly came back to his senses.

He stared down at his palms, thoughtfully.

interesting……

Meng Xiao had read Gu Shen's file in advance. He knew that this S-class Dongzhou had not participated in the deep water trial for a long time, so there was no specific and accurate strength assessment recorded in the [Deep Sea] database.

But just now Ba Kui took action, and he saw clearly that Gu Shen was an extraordinary person around the "seventh level"!

If he was a seventh-level transcendent, why didn't the mental power he just released produce "suppression"?

Is there a powerful sealed object nearby, or...is there another destiny?

"Grand Duke."

Ba Kui's voice interrupted Meng Xiao's thoughts.

When this "giant bear" was not using its abilities, it was not burly, and even looked a little thin. He kept staring at Gu Shen and Lin Lin's leaving back, and said in a low voice, "Do you need me to do anything..."

"No need."

Meng Xiao waved his hand and said calmly: "Tonight is Her Majesty the Queen's banquet, and we must fulfill our duties as guests."

…

…

On the roof of the huge building, a cold wind blew.

Gu Shen leaned against the railing and looked up at the sky. Perhaps because these "floating buildings" were taller, the dome of Beizhou was even brighter. The stars twinkled in the night sky, as if they could be picked off with just a hand.

Lin Lin held a cigarette butt in his mouth and leaned against the door of the rooftop: "Hey...are you ready to leave? The banquet is still being held. Do you really want to go in and eat something?"

If Gu Shen wants to leave now.

Then there is a high probability that he will follow suit...

It's just that Lin Lin didn't lie in Grand Duke Zhuxue's guest room earlier. He was really hungry now after a tiring trip.

After the farce with Grand Duke Zhenyue was over, the thing he cared about most was "eating".

Gu Shen smiled: "How could you just leave like this?"

He is also hungry.

"If you don't take advantage of me, you bastard, you have to get this meal back." Gu Shen said quietly: "It's just that I was thinking about something..."

"Are you thinking why Zhenyue is targeting you?"

Lin Lin stamped out the cigarette butt and said slowly: "This matter is a bit complicated..."

Before he could explain.

Gu Shen waved his hand: "I'm not that stupid. The eldest lady of the Meng family likes 021. How can Meng Xiao not hate the Gu family? My surname is Gu, and I am so close to Gu Nanfeng, so I took the initiative to come to Beizhou to meet him. No

It would be weird to be targeted."

Lin Lin smiled: "It seems that you and Gu Nanfeng have a really good relationship... you even know the identity of 021."

General Rusty Bones has done a good job in keeping secret.

Sending Gu Nanfeng to Beizhou in the first place was the plan of the mausoleum guardian and Gu Qilin to support him, so this was a secret that only a few senior officials in Beizhou knew.

"You're going to be in trouble after the dinner is over."

Lin Lin watched the excitement and did not mind the matter, and sighed with emotion: "That Meng Xiao is not a good person. It is said that he used extremely tough methods to successfully inherit the name of Zhenyue and the legacy of his father."

"It's so scary..."

Gu Shen asked cooperatively: "What will he do?"

"I might beat you up so hard that you're half dead." Lin Lin shrugged and asked curiously: "Why, aren't you afraid?"

Afraid?

Gu Shen couldn't help but laugh. Are you kidding me?

I am the King of Hades!

Really desperate, he unlocked the seal of the Ruler of Truth... Judging from the feelings he had just fought with Meng Xiao, that guy should have just entered the fourth stage not long ago, and his mental power was only slightly stronger than his own.

This fight can be fought, and Gu Shen is not afraid at all.

If the fight starts, it will probably be difficult to end.

Grand Duke Zhenyue has a fierce and ruthless temper, and he will never suffer a loss. If this guy wants to be ruthless... then Gu Shen can only guarantee that his methods will be more ruthless than Zhenyue.

"There's nothing to be afraid of." Gu Shendan said calmly: "I don't think we can fight. Lin Ci is here, and Meng Xiao can't make trouble."

The reason why I say this is because I carry the "protection of the Goddess of Destiny" in my body. There is no precise crisis guidance yet.

If Grand Duke Zhenyue had the intention to kill him.

Then the pendant must be felt...

Or, if the Grand Duke is planning some "special measures" that are not good for him, the pendant can also provide guidance.

Board Lin Lin's ship.

It's because of this guidance.

However... one thing worth thinking about is that when I climbed to the second floor, I did it under the guidance of "Asylum", but when I encountered the "attack" next, the pendant had no warning.

Is it because the pendant knows that the giant bear Bakui cannot hurt him?

So why does the pendant guide me upstairs?

These thoughts are too confusing.

Gu Shen tidied it up.

After a while.

Gu Shen looked at Lin Lin and smiled: "Actually, I'm very curious about your true identity."

Lin Lin was startled.

"At first, I thought that you were just a defender of Gubao Fortress, devoting your life to your family and country... you were one of the defenders of many fortresses in the main wing of Beizhou, nothing more."

"Later I felt... you are not that simple. You should have some relationship with the 'Lin Family' in Central City, otherwise the Zhengyi generals would not have mobilized so quickly in the previous storm fight."

"Now I feel that none of it is right."

Gu Shen said slowly: "Your identity is more important than I thought, much more important."

"...My identity is not that important."

Lin Lin's expression remained unchanged.

He had known for a long time that such a conversation would take place, so he neither denied nor affirmed, but said calmly: "I bled in Gubao and sacrificed my life for my homeland. I am qualified to be a garrison of Gubao."

"certainly."

Gu Shen smiled slightly and said: "Abandoning the imperial power and wealth of Central City, abandoning the wealth and wealth that you are born with, you are more qualified than anyone else to become a 'guardian' on the border."

The conversation between the two men was not serious.

The night wind blows.

The windbreaker and black hair fly together.

"We all have secrets, which is good." Gu Shen said seriously: "Thank you for helping me write the scroll. I will keep this kindness in my heart and I will definitely repay you in the future."

"Don't talk about these useless things."

Lin Lin frowned, looked up at the faint starlight on the dome, and urged angrily: "As soon as the cold wind blows on the rooftop, go back... lest others think that we have some messy relationship."

Gu Shen: "???"

Why is this guy saying something so weird?

…

…

When Gu Shen returned to the banquet hall, the awarding ceremony was being held.

The Second Team of the Survey Corps, as the miracle of survival in the maze mission, was awarded the "Collective First Class Medal" for its great contribution in the mission. Archduke Zhuxue presented the award to Her Majesty the Queen, and also made a further invitation.

Invite Yuan Yuan and his team members to visit Her Majesty the Queen's residence.

This is a supreme honor.

It's just that... Zhuxue only awarded first-class medals to the explorers of the Survey Corps.

Gu Shen sat in the audience, smiling and applauding.

These guys have experienced hundreds of battles, sacrificed their lives for the legion, and carried out countless missions.
