The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 807 - 386: This Partnership Feels Off, Part 2

Chapter 807: Chapter 386: This Partnership Feels Off, Part 2

Old Master Si squinted his eyes.

"You mean, we are highly suspicious."

Gu Jianlin, supporting the golden mask, descended the stairs, his half-wet black hair still dripping, as if he had just finished a bath to prepare for bed. However, his voice was emotionless: "Or are you suspecting me."

Moon Princess crossed her arms and rolled her eyes silently behind him.

You were told to speak less, but you just wouldn’t listen.

Suddenly, she saw a figure in a black robe in the living room.

That was a Pseudo Ancestor from Buzhou Mountain, who seemed to be sniffing something in the air, his gaze growing increasingly cold.

At that moment, she understood.

Gu Jianlin wasn’t being willful or disobedient; he too had seen that Pseudo Ancestor from Buzhou Mountain.

Clearly, this guy was searching for something, and there were clues to follow.

After Gu Jianlin’s true form got injured, he did bleed, and there was a blood-stained hoodie.

This piece of clothing was taken by Moon Princess and burned to ash in the bathroom.

Because the incident happened suddenly, Gu Jianlin had already gone to shower and change clothes.

Moon Princess, as an indirect contact, was indeed careless, failing to promptly wash off the scent of blood on her.

Thus, Gu Jianlin stood in front of her.

Moon Princess glanced at his tall and upright back, subconsciously pursing her red lips with a sigh.

Not sure when he grew up.

He was no longer the feverish boy who wanted to cling to her, like a spoiled child; suddenly, he was blocking in front of her for a long time, shielding her from wind and rain, thwarting all crises.

A bit of loss, but more so comfort and sweetness.

"Mr. Si is overthinking."

Jiang Chuge finally saw the person in charge, raising his sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice: "We are just conducting a routine check. You two entered the old house; did you notice anything unusual?"

The expected answer to such a question was naturally no.

The siblings would have to be out of their minds to say they found something.

The Pseudo Ancestor suddenly raised his head, his eerie pupils roamed between the boy and the girl, hoarsely asking, "Where did you two go tonight? I smell blood on you."

Finally, he targeted the girl wearing a cat-faced mask, coldly saying: "It’s you."

Moon Princess raised her cold, beautiful eyes: "Hmm?"

In an instant, the Pseudo Ancestor charged forward like a mad dragon, intending to attack abruptly.

In that fleeting moment, someone blocked his way like a specter, extending their right hand at lightning speed!

With an earth-shattering bang, the Pseudo Ancestor was suddenly blasted backward like a cannonball, crashing through the living room wall, smashing the rock garden outside the courtyard, and landing heavily against the fence.

Spider-web-like fissures appeared behind him, stones and dust trembling and falling.

"Are you courting death?"

Gu Jianlin said expressionlessly.

The Ancestor’s reptilian pupils widened, suppressing a dragon-like roar in his throat, poised to speak in Ancient Divine Language.

Unfortunately, his throat was tightly held, unable to produce a sound.

Though it seemed like a mere moment, multiple encounters had taken place.

For instance, Gu Jianlin’s extended hand was blocked back.

Or the Pseudo Ancestor’s swung claw was caught, his wrist bone forcibly crushed.

Or the Pseudo Ancestor’s right hand drawing a knife was seized.

Gu Jianlin grabbed the right fist aimed at his abdomen, retaliating with an uppercut to his chin.

The Ghost Slayer Path’s battles are swift, containing countless deadly traps in a single breath.

"Do I have to report that I’ve bled a little?"

Gu Jianlin said softly, "You’re a bit clueless."

The Ancient Divine Race within this Pseudo Ancestor wasn’t old, posing no threat to him.

Especially as he now bore noble, grotesque dragon horns on his head, his sinister, blood-red vertical pupils seemingly swirling with bloody Mandala flowers, his majestic dragon might erupted like molten lava, as if an Ancient Dragon had awakened.

Even the Pseudo Ancestor from Buzhou Mountain was suppressed, and this was without him exerting his full power.

"Merely sacrificing the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword, is that surprising?"

Moon Princess drew a forested bone sword entwined with Yang Flame, lightly slicing her finger.

Blood flowed out, sipped by the blade.

The eerie bone sword turned crimson, vibrating continuously.

Jiang Chuge was silent for a moment, indeed he first suspected the Si Family.

Because his intuition has always been accurate.

Now the young lady’s condition was very poor, yet she mysteriously vanished in Tokyo, obviously someone was secretly helping her, either someone from the Ether Association or the You Ying Group.

The former was naturally impossible, the Ether Association wouldn’t allow such a monstrosity to live.

Yitaihua’s style, surely strikes to kill when you’re down, eradicates completely.

So only the You Ying Group was left.

The problem was, Si Xingye’s condition was indeed good, and he had an alibi.

This was enough to clear all suspicions.

Jiang Chuge was still a bit dissatisfied, his seemingly calm eyes harboring killing intent.

The girl in the cat-faced mask in front of him increasingly posed a threat.

"What are you looking at?"

Moon Princess stared at him coldly.

Of course she knew what the so-called cousin in front of her was thinking.

The Jiang Yanxu branch has always seen her as a thorn in their side, always targeting her during her training outside, hindering her growth for years, especially after she returned to the Jiang Family.

It’s not about wanting the young lady.

It’s about seizing the opportunity to get rid of her.

"I’ve heard before about cousin’s relationship with the Crown Prince of the Ether Association."

Jiang Chuge’s gaze grew sharper, his right hand tapping the sword box faster: "Now that the Ether Association and You Ying Group are about to cooperate, such a relationship isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But I’ve checked your file, you seem to be a very dedicated and passionate person, and you also have a severe mental cleanliness fetish."

Old Master Si sensed something was wrong, gripping his cane more tightly.

Moon Princess sat opposite him indifferently, coldly replying: "So what?"

"You don’t seem like someone willing to engage in engagement, even if it’s just a formality."

Jiang Chuge said firmly: "Unless you’re just playing along."

An oppressive silence.

Gu Jianlin kicked the unlucky Pseudo Ancestor into the pile of rubble, turning to gaze at the young man in the white suit in the living room.

Blood-stained pupils gleamed with chilling killing intent.

If this guy tried anything, he would spare no expense to keep him here.

Moon Princess said coldly, "It has nothing to do with you."

Jiang Chuge considered many things in his mind, whether or not to act at this moment.

If he could provoke something, he could see the problem.

The frequency of tapping on the sword box grew increasingly intense, as if playing a piano piece.

The killing intent grew thicker.

The sword box vibrated incessantly.

Suddenly, a loud roar came from afar, the sky immediately changed color.

A gigantic face like that of a ghost god loomed over Tokyo.

A chill wind rumbled, that was Jiang Chunyang’s oppressive force!

"Chuge, come back."

An echoing voice of irreproachable authority: "The Jiang Family Master’s conditions have improved greatly, thanks to the Si Family’s remedy. Mr. Si is a distinguished guest of the Jiang Family, don’t lose your sense of propriety and respect."

The voice came and went quickly, dissipating without a trace.

Jiang Chuge’s lifted finger stiffened slightly, the sword box no longer trembling.

The authority of the Netherworld was indeed inviolable.

More importantly, this was the intention of Grandfather, the true master of the Dark World.

This meant, the young man in front was no longer just the young master of the Si Family.

But rather, a guest of the Jiang Family Master.

Or rather, a life-saving benefactor.

"Would you leave on your own, or would you like me to escort you?"

Old Master Si sneered, embodying the arrogance of a small-minded victor.

Jiang Chuge reluctantly retracted his gaze, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Sorry for the disturbance."

He rose with the sword box, saying calmly: "The dimensional gate of the Qilin Immortal Palace will open in three days; please have the Si Family select suitable candidates to explore the mysterious Divine Ruins together, to share the god’s treasures. This time, the You Ying Group and Ether Association will cooperate fully to discover the secret before The Order of the Hidden."

He said, then turned to leave.

The Red Priests sheathed their blades and followed behind him.

Leaving cleanly and decisively, without a moment’s hesitation.

"Ether Association and You Ying Group’s full cooperation?"

Gu Jianlin was silent for a moment, feeling as though he could already see Moon Princess teaming up with Thunder.
