And he is from Dongzhou, and this is his first time out of the country.

If you only participated in one "mission" and received this kind of honor...then the medal this time would not convince the public, so Gu Shen's name did not appear on the list of honors for the first-class medal.

Gu Shen understood this and didn't care.

It's useless for him to take Beizhou's medal.

Seeing the happy smiles of the rough guys on the stage, Gu Shen's eyes softened.

He still remembered those conversations when he was trekking in the [Old World].

Zhu Xiao said that getting a first-class medal alive in the legion is something worth bragging about for a lifetime.

Even Su He, who was usually the most serious and unsmiling person, smiled at this moment.

Seeing this scene, Gu Shen felt happy for these guys from the bottom of his heart...

now.

The applause in the hall was like thunder.

The generals all looked at the heroes of the maze mission with sincerity and gratitude.

…

…

The banquet is over.

Grand Duke Zhuxue came to Gu Shen's desk immediately.

He frowned and glanced at Lin Lin, who was feasting next to Gu Shen, and forced himself to ignore this guy who didn't understand table manners.

Take a gentle breath.

Zhuxue smiled and stretched out her hand, "Brother Gu, I'm sorry that I didn't invite you to the stage this time. I hope you can forgive me."

"No problem." Gu Shen shook hands with him and said calmly: "I understand."

"Although there is no 'conferment'... Her Majesty the Queen's invitation is equally valid for you." Lin Ci looked directly into Gu Shen's eyes and asked seriously: "With all due respect, are you willing to accept this invitation?"

What I'm waiting for is your words.

"I have been in Beizhou for a long time this time..."

Gu Shen did not rush to agree, but pretended to hesitate and said, "I hope it will be as soon as possible."

Zhuxue smiled: "That's natural, but not everyone is qualified to be invited to the meeting."

"Including him?"

Gu Shen turned his attention to Grand Duke Zhenyue who was not far away.

"..."

Lin Ci kept smiling, but she actually had a headache. This Gu Shen seemed to be a vengeful person.

"You are right. I am indeed a person who holds grudges. Being broad-minded is not an advantage. I saw these four words written on many people's epitaphs in Qing Tomb." Gu Shen raised his wine glass and said to

Grand Duke Zhuxue smiled: "Besides, the development of some things is not up to you and me... right?"

Gu Shen finished his words.

A low and mellow voice sounded not far away.

"Lin Ci, the banquet is over... If I have personal matters to resolve now, there should be no problem, right?"

Meng Xiao said leisurely: "I will go find you after I resolve my personal matters."

The banquet was over and many people had left.

Many of the followers at Grand Duke Zhenyue's table stood up slowly.

Their eyes were locked on Gu Shen.

"Obviously, even if I am willing to 'let things go,' someone doesn't intend to end it."

Gu Shen slowly shook the liquid in the goblet and asked softly: "As a guest, I came to Beizhou to escape the storm, resist the storm, and remove mental toxins. I was so provoked at the acceptance banquet. You said...encountered such a thing,

Should I hold a grudge?”

Grand Duke Zhuxue looked a little ugly.

Because of the previous incident... the originally planned conversation between him and Meng Xiao had to be held on another day.

Considering that the relationship between the Meng family and the Lin family is in urgent need of repair, Lin Ci doesn't mind making amends, winning over, and appeasing them on certain matters.

But today, the Grand Duke Zhenyue acted a bit overbearing.

The most important thing is.

Meng Xiao didn't know what Gu Shen meant to "Her Majesty the Queen".

This guy has no idea.

The so-called "further invitation" did not invite the members of the Second Team of the Survey Corps at all. After being awarded the first-class medal, they were supposed to return. Only one person was actually invited to visit the residence... and that was Gu Shen!

Even Lin Cang herself didn't know why her sister wanted to see this young man from Dongzhou by name.

The atmosphere became stagnant.

"Is this going to be a fight?"

To Gu Shen's surprise, Yuan Yuan suddenly spoke. Wearing a well-tailored dress, he stood up slowly, and then slipped out a dagger from the cuff of his wrist...

"This is the first time in my life that I have worn a dress. The designer said that I have never seen a dagger in the sleeves of a dress." Yuan Yuan glanced at Gu Shen and said indifferently: "Captain Zhong Yuan told me before leaving.

, if we meet in Central City, someone may be unfavorable to Mr. Gu... No matter who it is, it will be over just now."

Yuan Yuan was the first to express his stance.

The other members of the Second Team of the Investigation Corps also stood up, Su He, Li Chen, Mo Hongyi...

In terms of status, they are not as good as Grand Duke Zhenyue, let alone the generals present today.

In terms of strength, they are generally three-stage extraordinary beings.

The people on this table were ruthless people who had successfully performed the [Maze Mission] and returned. Gu Shen had seen them attacking Golden Spike Flower in a dream. They had extremely high fighting skills and a tacit understanding of cooperation, and they were extremely fierce!

After everyone at both tables stood up.

Only Meng Xiao, Gu Shen, and Lin Lin, who was engrossed in eating, were still sitting.

The atmosphere on the field became subtle...

Zhuxue took a deep breath.

It was obvious that both parties intended to escalate the situation into a tense situation and force him to step forward.

And whether to protect Zhenyue or Gu Shen... he had to make a decision.

A few seconds later.

"That's it."

Lin Ci looked in the direction of Meng Xiao and said in a deep voice: "Meng Xiao, the dinner party is over, what are you waiting for?"

As soon as he said this, he was expelled from the guest.

Grand Duke Zhenyue stood up slowly, raised his hand to signal his followers not to take action, and ended the confrontation.

Meng Xiao was not angry.

He is not as violent and impatient as the rumors say.

I deliberately developed this point because I wanted to see Lin Silk's reaction... and the final result was both a bit surprising and not that surprising.

Lin Ci said: "I won't send it away. We will talk about the matter of Guangming City another day."

"What a pity."

Meng Xiao looked at Gu Shen, smiled and said, "Gu Shen... right? I'm starting to be interested in you, and we will meet again."

Gu Shendan said calmly: "Really? I'm not looking forward to it at all."

Meng Xiao turned and left.

Behind him, Gu Shen laughed at Lin Silk.

"Your Excellency Zhuxue, I believe you should know... Although my surname is Gu, I am not a direct descendant of the Gu family in Nagano."

"The matter between the Meng family and the Lin family has been very popular some time ago, and I have probably heard about it. If someone really wants to show his 'iron fist' about this matter, then I can call Gu Nanfeng to Beizhou...

…It’s a fair fight between the two, but I think it’s unfair to someone because he will most likely be beaten to the point where he can’t stand up.”

Meng Xiao's footsteps paused.

"Brother Gu, stop telling the truth."

Lin Lin chewed the steak and said seriously: "Gu Nanfeng has a banned title. He will beat the shit out of a fourth-level transcendent."
