The former naturally needs no further explanation, it's simply defying the heavens.

The latter also makes sense.

After all, Gu Jianlin is not the First Generation Qilin Venerable.

So, it's not impossible for Skylark to inherit the power of the Candle Dragon Venerable either.

"If there's anything you're unsure about, I can ask around for you later. I know some very knowledgeable people, and they would definitely know what's going on." Gu Jianlin appeared calm on the surface, but internally he was already stirred up, because the person in front of him, no matter who they were, there was at least one thing he could be sure of.

They really were the same kind.

Possessing identical racial abilities.

"I don't want it; I know who I am."

Skylark glanced at him coldly, turned around and sat back on the bed, crossing her long, slender, snow-white legs that shone with an alluring luster: "Who are these people you know? Taihua? Huai Yin? Once they know about our abilities, do you know what will happen? Are you stupid? Trusting your life in others' hands?"

Gu Jianlin was taken aback by her words.

"Idiot."

Skylark crossed her arms with annoyance: "Forget it, you're young and ignorant, having no understanding of these things at all, you don't even know what you mean. In any case, my advice is that you must quickly help me heal. Once I'm back in peak condition, I won't have to fear anyone anymore."

Gu Jianlin frowned and said: "What about me?"

"Heh."

Skylark lifted a lock of black hair, smiling beautifully: "You have done well in protecting me, so of course I'll reward you as my Male Sacrifice."

Mysteriously, a joking thought popped into Gu Jianlin's mind.

If it's a reward, why not become my Female Sacrifice instead.

"Forget it, I'm too weak to match you."

Gu Jianlin shrugged: "I know your background, you're a member of Dusk, and even from Buzhou Mountain. Why don't you return there? Has The Order of the Hidden infiltrated to such an extent?"

Skylark cast a sidelong glance at him, her gaze already spoke volumes.

Gu Jianlin's heart sank inexplicably: "Why is The Order of the Hidden trying to kill you?"

"Maybe, it's because he doesn't want to see me complete my transformation?"

Skylark said lazily: "The same applies to you. If your secret gets discovered, you'll face the same fate as me from now on. The difference is, I'm very powerful, and if it weren't for my poor state, no one would dare to assassinate me, but you are different. I quite like a saying from Taihua, you're as weak as a paramecium."

Heh.

Gu Jianlin clenched the bedsheet expressionlessly.

An utter humiliation.

No matter, a gentleman's revenge is never too late after ten years.

Once he reaches the Ninth Rank, let's see who's really powerful then.

"During this time, I'll help you ascend as quickly as possible. People from the Order World can't help you, because they don't really understand how great a being you truly are, just like me."

Skylark looked at him with a half-smile: "Only with great strength can you have a chance to uncover The Order of the Hidden."

When Gu Jianlin heard those words, a peculiar look flashed in his eyes.

He vaguely felt that this woman knew him extremely well.

Every word and action struck his weakest points.

"Are you intrigued?"

Skylark propped her cheek with her hand, her gaze mischievous.

"So how can I trust you?"

Gu Jianlin said calmly: "I don't even know your real name. Or have you forgotten all those memories about yourself, and you need me to help you recover your past?"

Skylark's gaze turned cold.

"Stop with the nonsense, I don't need you to trust me, just as long as you can get things done. Ying Province is a dangerous place, there are terrible things likely to happen soon. The Divine Servant you control isn't powerful enough to protect us. I've seen the future, troubles are coming."

Skylark was silent for a moment: "Get ready."

Gu Jianlin was just about to say something when he heard the roar of engines outside the courtyard, the screech of tires, the sound of car doors opening, and the clash of firearms, and the shiver of swords being drawn.

In his Life Perception, there were even rhythms that were overwhelmingly powerful.

"They're here, I'll hide first."

Skylark narrowed her beautiful eyes and, like a wisp of black smoke, slipped into his shadow.

This astonishing scene shocked Gu Jianlin because he couldn't feel a thing.

Just that Skylark seemed to be still around him, with that faint trace of Lan She fragrance.

Just then, his phone vibrated.

Moon Princess had sent a warning message.
