CHAPTER 717: CHAPTER 348: SENIOR BROTHER AND MOTHER-IN-LAW

Gu Jianlin was taken aback: "Your mom?"

This was indeed a bit unexpected for him, because he had heard the dialogue between the mother and daughter on the phone, although it was only less than ten seconds, it was enough to reveal a lot of information. For example, the mother’s concern and gentleness, the cautiousness conveyed in her words, and the daughter’s hostility and ruthlessness, her coldness keeping people at a distance.

It’s just that at that time, he didn’t know that both the mother and daughter were Ascenders.

Thinking about it now, after all, Ascenders are also human, with their own joys and sorrows.

And their beloved family and friends.

No matter how formidable a woman is, facing her own flesh and blood, she becomes cautious and restrains her sharpness.

"Yes, Jiang Mingyan, Eighth Rank, Heavenly General of the Overlord Path."

Whenever the Moon Princess mentioned her biological mother, her voice carried a chill like ice and snow.

"The Eighth Rank of the Overlord Path is called Heavenly General?"

Gu Jianlin nodded slightly.

The woman on the rooftop had such a cold and sharp gaze; just a casual glance made him feel like he was being targeted by a sniper’s muzzle, as if his head could be blown off at any moment.

This is the gaze only possessed by the most top-tier assassins.

She doesn’t even care if you can perceive her murderous intent.

Because once you realize she has targeted you, you’re already dead.

This is not him exaggerating.

But because Skylark had already quietly reminded him in his heart.

Through Future Vision, his probability of dying is indeed high.

Of course, there’s a prerequisite.

That is, if he doesn’t use any trump cards.

If he were to unleash the Ancient Divine Language on the spot, then wanting to kill him in one strike would be almost impossible.

The reason the Moon Princess was holding onto him was to demonstrate to her mother, her meaning couldn’t be clearer—you want to kill him, then you’d have to kill me too, otherwise forget it.

"That woman knows everything about me, if you came with your true identity, she would definitely not make things difficult for you considering the teacher’s relationship, but would simply keep me away from you. Unfortunately, now you’re Si Xingye, her hostility towards you would be infinitely amplified. Of course, she probably knows who you are by now."

The Moon Princess’ red lips moved slightly, silently saying: "She knows my cleanliness habit, I won’t pretend by touching others."

Indeed, as an ice-cold beauty, she most dislikes having physical contact with others.

This is also the reason she made the resolute choice of the Ghost Slayer Path.

One move to instantly kill the enemy, simple and efficient.

"You didn’t plan on telling her, did you?"

Gu Jianlin suddenly said.

"Because I don’t trust her, so I don’t want to tell her who you really are."

The Moon Princess replied in a lip-speaking manner: "The problem is, she just wanted to kill you, what can I do?"

"Seems like she quite loves you after all."

Gu Jianlin said deliberately: "But indeed, she is too domineering, how did Uncle Su manage back then..."

It must be said, Uncle Su is truly a man worthy of respect, to have tamed such a domineering woman.

"Haven’t you heard the story of the female demon and the scholar? These domineering women just like those honest scholars who dare not bow to authority. My dad is exactly that kind of stiff and honest man, working hard at his job, taking care of his wife and kids at home, handing over all his wages, meticulously doing everything, and bearing any trouble himself."

The Moon Princess said coldly: "How can this woman be deserving of my dad?"

Gu Jianlin roughly understood her meaning.

Uncle Su, such a man, placed in the world of Ascenders, is but like an ant.

The issue is, one’s character shouldn’t be distinguished by power and status as whether noble or not.

Uncle Su, upright and kind, is also a man who works diligently for life, he should have been able to live a peaceful life, shouldn’t have been disturbed by people from the Extraordinary World, caught in bloody disputes.

The scholar entering the capital for the exams bears the hopes of not only his family but his whole village.

To achieve fame, to support the family, to serve the country.

Did he ever provoke you?

"Let’s go, get in the car first."

The Moon Princess sat back in the passenger seat, coldly saying: "Tonight that woman is observing the operations, I don’t want to perform tasks under her watch, we’ll head directly to Shinjuku District, there are some test subjects there as well."

A message appeared on her phone, sent by her sister.

Su Youxia was urging her to leave quickly.

"If your mother realizes, will she expose us?"

Gu Jianlin asked casually.

He wasn’t too worried about this matter, because he had confidence.

Confidence given by Skylark.

The wicked woman had just subtly informed him in his heart, reassuring him not to worry.

So he didn’t say much.

"Sister will help resolve this matter."

The Moon Princess thought seriously for a moment: "But we also need to prepare a backup plan, leave here first, if it doesn’t work, then retreat."

Gu Jianlin responded with an "um", driving from the driver’s seat himself.

At this time, Si Ruowei leaned over, asking softly: "Jiang Xu, should we try to negotiate?"

Gu Jianlin shook his head: "No need, leave it for the Jiang Family to handle."

Skylark had confirmed before, members of the Order of the Hidden at this level have already joined the Unified Will.

Even with interrogation using the Soul Comforting Bell, nothing would come out.

Gu Jianlin had asked before, what is the Unified Will.

Skylark didn’t answer.

"Hurry up and go, things aren’t finished tonight, there’s still a good show to watch later."

Skylark’s ethereal and enchanting voice sounded, gently humming: "Soon I need to do an experiment first."

Gu Jianlin paused, thinking she really wasn’t just here to hack and slash.
