The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 811 - 387: How Does Thunder Feel? (4)

Ji Zhou glanced at him sideways and said blandly, "Think carefully about what happened when you broke free from my restriction—the domain of the Heavenly Person loosened. Why did Skylark act at that precise moment?"

Gu Jianlin was taken aback.

"Isn’t it possible that she intended to let you out?"

Ji Zhou sneered, "Someone like her can peer into fate."

Gu Jianlin hadn’t thought about these things, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

Indeed, why did Skylark act like that before she lost her memory?

It was as if she knew he would stand at the end of the Stairway to Immortality.

Did she foresee problems with her evolution?

Could she have predicted her severe injury and amnesia?

Now, indeed, both sides are grasshoppers on the same rope, using each other.

But is it possible this was all planned?

Ji Zhou looked at him for a long time.

Her gaze grew sharper, as if she wanted to dissect him inch by inch.

And yank the bad woman from inside him.

"You must know, beings like Skylark are always enemies of the Order World. Rhein wouldn’t hesitate to fight to mutual destruction to eliminate her, for this reason. For the Human World, such unstable factors aren’t allowed to exist, whether it be the President, or Rhein and Lin Dong, including the Catastrophes."

Ji Zhou sneered, "They would choose to eliminate them immediately."

This was a warning, and could also be considered a threat.

It could even be seen as a death sentence.

If it weren’t this woman sitting in front of him, but someone else.

Gu Jianlin believed the other party would have acted already, and he would now be a dead man.

The woman within him also couldn’t be hidden.

The problem was, Ji Zhou’s gaze was cold, but it hid a trace of frustration that iron couldn’t become steel.

"Don’t trust others so easily."

Ji Zhou surprisingly raised her hand, touching his head: "You need to know there are many bad people in this world, and kindhearted people like you will be deceived. You must learn to protect yourself, only then will adults be at ease."

For a moment, Gu Jianlin didn’t know what to say; it had been a long time since someone touched his head.

The last time was probably his parents’ divorce, when they touched his head and said not to cry because mom and dad were still there.

Gu Jianlin had no doubt that she knew the bad woman was hidden within his body.

Yet Ji Zhou didn’t act.

"You’ll be an adult soon in a few months, and as you grow up, you’ll have your own views, your own set of rules for dealing with people. I won’t forcibly instill my views onto you; that would only stifle your potential, and I don’t need to create someone identical to me."

Ji Zhou suddenly said: "Since you chose to work with her, you must have your reasons."

Gu Jianlin had imagined the worst-case scenario, she would force him to give the woman up.

Demand he betray her while she sleeps.

Yet, he never anticipated that Senior Ji would actually approve of his choice.

"On the condition that, whatever you do, always leave yourself a way out."

Ji Zhou gazed into his eyes: "For any matter, as long as you’re willing to bear the cost, right and wrong are irrelevant."

Gu Jianlin contemplated these words, lost in thought.

Unexpectedly, Senior Ji’s next words struck him like a bolt from the blue.

"How does Thunder feel?"

She taunted, "Enjoying it?"
