The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 1064 - 497: The Judgement Court’s Mistrial (3)
"Don’t worry, it might just be some special phenomenon."
Gu Jianlin deceived her, saying: "You might have inadvertently come into contact with some radioactive material."
Xia Zhi thought he made sense. After all, students at the Central Spirit Core Institute deal with ancient relics every day, and there’s no guarantee their bodies won’t be affected. "But I feel quite good today."
She clearly felt her body becoming lighter, and her head wasn’t as heavy as before.
Even without taking medicine, she didn’t feel that tearing sensation, and her whole body was filled with a lively spirit.
The world suddenly seemed to become beautiful.
Especially the boy across from her, who looked better the more she looked.
Gu Jianlin drank hot milk and calmly said, "Not just good, you’re downright excited."
Xia Zhi giggled foolishly, looked up at the clock, and froze slightly: "Ah, hurry up and eat, we’ll be late!"
Gu Jianlin replied unhurriedly, "Students registering for the Peacekeeping Force today don’t need to go to class."
Xia Zhi blinked her beautiful eyes, feeling a bit uneasy, and said: "Should I register too?"
Gu Jianlin’s words from yesterday had given her inexplicable expectations. It was quite possible he would use the family connections to protect her. She had waited a whole twenty years and finally a seemingly blind noble young master took notice of her.
"Yes."
Gu Jianlin nodded slightly.
Xia Zhi tidied her school uniform skirt, picked up her backpack, and said: "We should leave early too. Last night’s battle was so fierce, traffic might be paralyzed. Even the Deep Space Network isn’t accessible, maybe there’s a signal problem."
Gu Jianlin waved his hand: "Someone’s coming to pick us up."

Indeed, someone came to the apartment entrance to meet them today.
The visitor was Ying Changsheng.
A silver Aston Martin was parked at the corner, the Ying Family’s eldest son sat in the driver’s seat wearing sunglasses, and the vintage Golden Robe exuded nobility and elegance. Those unaware might think he was ready to film a movie.
Xia Zhi had never seen this face, but she recognized the Golden Robe. In the entire Order World, only one person dressed as such: the high-profile, youthful Crown Prince of the Ying Family, the leader of the Omega Sequence.
She rarely interacted with such figures and was too frightened to speak.
"Get in the car."
Gu Jianlin habitually sat in the front passenger seat, gesturing her to get in.
Xia Zhi thought this must be the feeling of being part of a prominent family, trying to remain calm so as not to expose the timidity of someone unaccustomed to wealth. After all, she was a pretty girl.
Beautiful girls are the best adornments for boys.
She couldn’t let the boy lose face.
Gu Jianlin couldn’t care less about her inner thoughts; silly girls reading too many romance novels must be like this.
Seeing her get into the back seat, he turned and said: "Long time no see."
"I didn’t expect them to arrange such a place for you to stay."
Ying Changsheng turned the steering wheel and pressed the accelerator, saying: "Aren’t you afraid your girlfriend will be upset?"
Before Gu Jianlin could respond, there was the sound of something breaking.
Xia Zhi turned to stone.
Gu Jianlin didn’t bother with these matters, asking: "I want to know about yesterday’s battle situation."
Ying Changsheng glanced at him suspiciously and said: "This morning, the Judgement Court held an emergency meeting concerning last night’s events. The meeting lasted three hours, passing 176 bills, including an increase in difficulty by tenfold for the Peacekeeping Force assessment."
"Even my grandfather personally got involved."
He paused: "Because Rhein was severely injured."
Gu Jianlin was taken aback.
"Yesterday, the Judgement Court was actually targeting that clone."
Ying Changsheng gave him a strange look: "But for some reason, they now believe Qilin and Skylark, including that clone, have formed a Monster Alliance. The threat level of this group is nearly as high as Qing and Chi."
