The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 1000 - 469: Bai Ze’s Appointment (2)
Jiang Yanli muttered, "Still thinking about your little junior sister, huh? Didn’t realize you’re such a damn warm guy. No wonder you were so ruthless when you took out her fiancé back then, turns out there was a personal grudge. Besides, she’s silver’s student, she doesn’t even want her, and you’re still trying to protect her, tsk tsk."
Huai Yin raised her eyes and said flatly, "Say that again."
Jiang Yanli cleared his throat and changed the subject, "In any case, if there’s no response to our call, it’s not too late to break into the Central Coffin Institute. We still need some time to recover our state. Taking this opportunity, we can find out who wanted to kill us back then, who are the senior members of The Order of the Hidden, and when did that mysterious Third Law experiment actually begin..."

Tang Ling walked through the hospital corridor, carrying a heavy guitar case on her back.
She was still dressed as in the dream, a loose red jacket over a white short dress, her long, slender legs clad in knee-high boots that clicked crisply on the floor.
As it turns out, after going through something like that, girls don’t suddenly become all that mature and alluring like in traditional novels, nor do they suddenly gain more feminine charm. At least for her, nothing much seemed to change, and she actually felt a bit embarrassed, her hand even trembled a bit when leaving a note.
Of course, after arriving at the hospital, she had to overcome those psychological barriers.
Because whether she wanted to or not, she had to overcome them.
Couldn’t let anyone notice.
The Princess in the Order World was rigorously trained and would never show any flaws.
"Good morning, Senior Sister Tang."
Nie Xiangsi came out of the office, holding a stack of medical records, with a timid yet meaningful smile.
"Yo, Senior Sister Tang!"
Cheng Youyu came out of the bathroom, pulling up his pants, his eyes almost glowing!
"Oh, well, isn’t it Junior Sister Tang? Please come in, come in!"
Dawn and Poison Master walked out of the ward shoulder to shoulder, displaying a deeply meaningful smile.
In the ward next door, two people lay side by side.
Uncle Mu lay on the bed drinking soy milk, nodding slightly toward the young girl.
Lin Lan’s smile stretched to his ears: "Princess, you slept well last night, didn’t you?"
However she looked at it, Tang Ling felt there was something eerie in their smiles. As she walked to the end of the corridor, she even saw her parents standing by the ward door, hesitating to speak upon noticing her arrival.
"Ahem."
Chen Bojun stood guard at the door, his right fist pressed against his lips: "You’re here."
Lu Zijin flashed an aunt-like smile, her beautiful eyes curved: "Dear, how did last night feel?"
Tang Ling froze for a moment, not knowing how she got exposed.
"Well, my daughter."
Tang Zixuan looked at his daughter, sighed, and said, "I heard yesterday you wanted to learn the Third Law, it’s a rather dangerous thing after all, so I asked Lord Meng and Nightmare to help you calculate it. Unfortunately, they could only figure out your recent romance...not bad."
Xu Xiu hesitantly said, "Girl, what do meat and vegetable mean?"
Tang Ling felt as if she was struck by lightning.
She understood what happened; these people figured out what happened last night after looking at her Life Plate, and those two damned assistants even calculated what she had said!
She abruptly turned around, and at the corner of the stairs, two sneaky figures flashed by.
Tang Ling’s eyes filled with murderous intent, and the thunder suddenly rumbled!
"Calm down! This is a hospital, don’t disturb the other patients!"
"Hey, hey, your sister’s life is at stake!"
Lu Zijin and Chen Bojun were initially there to witness history because Frida’s Schizophrenia was highly likely to be completely cured today; the power of the Third Law would also be showcased by the legitimate successor of the Order World for the first time. It was a big event capable of stirring both worlds, a significant step forward for civilization.
Although Thunder wasn’t the first to master the Third Law, at least she was human.
Moreover, she was the one chosen by the President.
Her showcasing the Third Law could bring hope to people.
As for Gu Jianlin, he was more notorious, and showcasing the Third Law without any rallying power would instead make the whole world feel shrouded in the shadow of doom, a bona fide horror story.
However, no one expected to catch a big scandal before witnessing history.
Amid the rumbling vibrations of the entire hospital, Tang Ling walked alone into the ward, with the collapsing walls behind her and two figures buried in dust, whose conditions were unknown.
Members of the Si family, indeed well-trained, quietly took over the stretchers and carried the two away.
Unknown if they were being sent to the morgue below or the intensive care unit.
"Is there really hope?"
Tang Zixuan hesitated for a moment and asked.
Xu Xiu also raised her eyes, her gaze flickering with hope.
"Theoretically, it’s possible as long as the Princess truly masters the Third Law."
Chen Bojun analyzed while stroking his chin.
"Trust your daughter."
Lu Zijin said with a smile: "Of course, trust Xiao Gu as well."
Just as she finished speaking, there was a ding sound in the ward, the sound of the mental fluctuation detector stopping.
This represented that Tang Yun had reached the end of his life.
Yet, in the silence, the sound of the mental fluctuation detector rang again, with an unprecedentedly steady frequency, like a cheerful melody, even the sunlight streaming through the window seemed particularly bright.
Everyone exchanged glances.
It worked!

Gu Jianlin sat silently in the hotel restaurant, eating breakfast, feeling quite melancholy.
"According to the strategy of the Red King, Mu Feng, Lin Lan, and others will proceed to Magic City to find Lin Dong’s self-sealed land. To win this war, we need to cause internal division within the Order. Meanwhile, the Red King highly values the power of the families, and those old monsters in the Central Spirit Core Institute are still silent."
Old Master Si whispered, "If those forces could respond to the call, our odds of winning would greatly increase. Not only that, the Red King has sent Twilight’s members to infiltrate Magic City for intelligence. If the intelligence is accurate, the Order World is also comprehensively popularizing the Candle Light Law and You Ying Law, even the Third Law!"
Gu Jianlin stared at the tofu pudding in front of him without speaking.
"Next, the Red King and King of Qing will hold a press conference, using Miss Tang, the legitimate successor of the Order World, to unveil the true faces of those rebels to the world. Hmm, although it feels like the ancient strategy of holding the emperor to command the feudal lords, I must say, this move is admirably clever."
Old Master Si continued to report, "Commander Lu doesn’t unintentionally intervene in this; he has already made strategic deployments throughout Peak City, using Black Cloud City as the first line of defense against the Order’s invasion. On the high-end battlefield, Mr. Jing and Mr. Ji are stationed, so for the Order World to send people, they would need twice as many demigods."
Following Gu Jianlin’s orders, Old Master Si and the others have been constantly observing the actions of the Green and Red Dual Kings.
After all, these two are incredibly shrewd, likely to spring some surprise again.
This time, the command of the cooperation lies in the hands of the Red King, as the King of Qing is too lazy to think.
Gu Jianlin has suffered in this regard before, so he needed to be more cautious.
Now, he too is a person in control of power.
He trusts no one but himself.
"As for that clone, his actions have never stopped; last night, twenty Sword Sect Paths went missing. Without wild Ascenders, he might target us next."
Old Master Si said solemnly, "Boss, what do you think?"
Gu Jianlin was still somewhat in a daze.
"Boss? Boss?"
Old Master Si attempted to call out.
Gu Jianlin snapped back to reality, after a brief silence, shook his head and said, "You don’t need to concern yourself with this matter, nor can you deal with it. Just protect your own people. From today onwards, all the Sword Sect Paths should be isolated at Black Cloud City. With senior brothers there, that guy won’t dare to act rashly for a while."
Old Master Si murmured in agreement: "Understood."
Just then, he suddenly received a call from a subordinate, his brows furrowed.
According to the newly revised family rules, subordinates should not disturb the boss during meetings.
Unless something significant happened.
Old Master Si took the call, his face suddenly changed: "Boss, someone wants to see you."
Gu Jianlin raised an eyebrow: "Who?"
Old Master Si had a peculiar expression and murmured, "The person claims their last name is Bai, first name Ze."
