The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 810 - 387: How Does Thunder Feel? (3)

A faint fragrance filled the air, refreshing the senses.

Si Ruowei struggled to stand, her legs gave out and she knelt on the ground again, her expression frightened.

Old Master Si walked out with a cane and gave his niece a stern look, kicking her on the buttocks, reprimanding, "Useless thing, didn’t I tell you to make tea?"

How dare you neglect the boss’s guest, I’ll sell you to Ge Wuji Town later.

Originally a cold-blooded assassin, Si Ruowei at this moment felt a sense of grievance like a little girl.

She raised her eyes faintly, the meaning was clear.

Why don’t you do it yourself!

Old Master Si snorted, just as he was about to pick up the porcelain bottle, he was met with the woman’s chilling gaze.

With a clang, the old man’s cane fell to the ground, nearly breaking the porcelain bottle.

"I’ll go make the tea!"

The ruler of the Si family smiled wryly like an old quail and turned into the kitchen.

"Don’t scare them like that."

A calm voice sounded on the luxurious spiral staircase.

Gu Jianlin didn’t expect to see Senior Ji in Tokyo, feeling both surprised and a long-lost sense of familiarity.

Ji Zhou sat in the morning sunlight, her deep brown long coat exuding an aura of ruthlessness as her black hair was coiled at the back of her head, faint glimpses of graying hair shining subtly in the morning light, almost transparent.

Her sitting posture was so dignified and composed, with an aura as if an Emperor was present no matter the time.

When she turned her head, a streak of crimson smoke at the corner of her eyes was as intense as fresh blood.

For some reason, every time Gu Jianlin saw her gaze, he felt a natural sense of guilt.

It was akin to a sense of suppression by bloodline.

Just like when you played all day outside as a child, and came home to find your mother sitting on the sofa with a cold expression.

The Ether Association had already arrived in Tokyo, so it was not surprising that Senior Ji was accompanying.

With her rank and strength, she could probably appear anywhere in the world.

Entering and leaving a Si family, more than sufficient.

"It’s good to be alive."

Senior Ji’s voice remained as cold and merciless: "Sit down."

Gu Jianlin just intended to sit opposite her, only to see her icy gaze fixed on him.

"I meant for you to sit beside me."

Ji Zhou said coldly.

Gu Jianlin had planned to keep his distance from her, but given the circumstances, he could not refuse and had to obey.

Ji Zhou coldly sized him up, and her gaze finally softened a bit: "How have you been lately?"

Gu Jianlin was taken aback, unsure of where to start.

"Hmm, as expected from someone who has completed the Stairway to Immortality, there’s no conflict between the Supreme Laws of Zhu Zhao and You Ying on you. After advancing to the Fifth Rank, you are no longer as weak as before, at least you can survive in front of those of the Holy Land level. I heard, you even killed a Holy Land level Magician?"

Without waiting for his answer, Ji Zhou said first: "You broke the record, you brought glory to me."

The more Gu Jianlin looked at her, the more she resembled the President.

Only he suddenly realized a problem.

If he were to expose her at this moment, would it be beneficial for him at all?

Making a big shot die socially would be quite amusing indeed.

But the price, was it perhaps too high?

He wasn’t someone who sought amusement, so he decided to pretend he didn’t know.

"It was just luck."

Gu Jianlin said humbly.

"Luck is also a part of strength, just like how you managed to survive the Stairway to Immortality."

Ji Zhou sneered: "You sure have guts, daring to lead a rebellion."

Gu Jianlin remained silent, knowing that he was about to face retribution.

Back then, Senior Ji had imprisoned him in a room, not allowing him to leave, but he took advantage of the loosening of the Heavenly Person Realm, persuaded fellow members of the Omega Sequence, and orchestrated a rebellion.

If not for that, none of the subsequent events would have unfolded.

"Are they... okay?"

Gu Jianlin hesitated for a moment.

"Who? Your accomplices?"

Ji Zhou said indifferently: "All dead."

Gu Jianlin was initially shocked, but seeing her mocking gaze, he realized she was toying with him.

"Look at how scared you are, as the saying goes, if the son is not taught, it is the mother’s fault, though it’s a bit inappropriate in this context... but ultimately, I, as an elder, failed to discipline you, not anticipating the loosening of the President’s Heavenly Person Realm."

Ji Zhou gave him a meaningful look and said: "That Skylark is truly something."

Gu Jianlin noticed her gazing at his chest.

That was where Skylark lay dormant, ever since he had absorbed the Dragon Marrow Liquid, she had been unable to awaken.

For some reason, his first reaction was tense.

Fearful of her existence being discovered.

"Skylark is a secret weapon of the Dark World, and an ultimate weapon cultivated by Buzhou Mountain. Her existence holds unimaginable significance. Shadow helped me investigate her background, she was originally an innocent girl."

Gu Jianlin hesitated briefly before speaking: "And she has amnesia now."

He was indirectly stating that the girl’s origin was pure, all events were not of her volition.

Mentioning the amnesia at the end was to prove she posed no immediate threat.

"Looks like you’ve really been spending time with her, even your elbows are turning outward."

Ji Zhou mocked: "Is this the legendary saying that a son grown up can’t be kept at home?"

Gu Jianlin was speechless, because he indeed had the intention of covering for the bad woman.

Perhaps it was due to the connection with the Dragon Bone.

Or perhaps due to a kind of mutual empathy among similar beings.

Or maybe for some other reason, he couldn’t say clearly.

"Do you really think she is innocent?"
