He said seriously, "I have only one request, no matter what, you must save Tang Ling and Tang Zijing."

Ji Zhou was silent for a moment. She was not the type to be sentimental. She casually packed those things into her satchel and said blandly, "I understand your intentions, and I've accepted these things. No reward can repay your contributions to the Human World. I need to go back and discuss how exactly we should reward you."

"Of course, don't expect me to help you investigate the Blood Moon Slaughter Incident."

She paused: "That's something someone of your rank shouldn't be involved with."

Gu Jianlin fell silent. Actually, this Senior Ji in front of him should be considered one of the elders who treated him best since he entered the Extraordinary World, even subtly more than his teacher.

The reason for not letting him investigate, aside from the impact of the incident itself on the internal factions of the Order World, likely includes other reasons that would cause trouble for him if he discovered anything.

"It's related to the Vermilion Bird, right?"

He said softly, "That's why my father died back then too."

Ji Zhou glanced at him silently without saying a word.

But the meaning was self-evident.

"I'm leaving."

She got up, turned, and walked towards the door: "You've just learned Heavenly Person's Breathing, you need to practice well. The Candle Light Law is so strong, yet you're using it like a scraping technique, don't embarrass me by going out like this."

With that said, she strode away.

Gu Jianlin's face turned dark, as he had already been insulted several times for his basic skills.

These people just won't let it go!

"Got it."

He couldn't help but say, "Senior Ji, I'll leave Tang Ling and Tang Zijing's matters to you!"

Ji Zhou halted her steps and gave a faint "hmm" without any emotion.

For a moment, Gu Jianlin sensed something was amiss, because in her voice devoid of any emotion, he caught a fleeting lack of heart and guilt, as if she'd resolved something.

That gaze eventually turned completely cold.

Gu Jianlin instinctively had a sense of foreboding, stepping forward: "Senior Ji?"

Suddenly, a golden light screen materialized out of thin air, interweaving into a net at the door, blocking his way.

Gu Jianlin punched the light screen, it didn't budge!

"Don't waste your effort. This is punishment for your wandering around. Until the matter at the Sea of Eternal Life is concluded, you're to stay here obediently and go nowhere. This is power condensed from the Heavenly Person Realm, all your current methods are useless. Someone will bring you the secret medicine later, make sure to practice well."

Ji Zhou glanced at him and turned to leave: "There will naturally be someone to save Tang Ling, but even with your blood, she must still walk the Stairway to Immortality, whether she survives is up to fate."

Bang!

Gu Jianlin punched the light screen again, watching her leave silently.

His gaze growing colder and colder.

He never thought that this elder, who had always been gentle to him, would pull such a move in the end.

The elder only mentioned Tang Ling.

But said nothing about Tang Zijing.

Red light swept through the cabin, Taixu's soft voice resonated throughout the spaceship: "Attention all Strategy Group members, the SSS-level hunting mission Azure Sea Dragon Nest is about to begin. The Heavenly Person Realm is ready, frontline strategists please prepare, you have five more minutes to leave messages for your families."

Taihua strode down the corridor, adjusting her posture to restore her dignified and graceful appearance.

The final operation to conquer the Sea of Eternal Life was about to commence.

Lin Dong and the others were about to depart.

As the President, she should have been at the forefront at this time to boost morale.

But at this moment, her mind was elsewhere.

She recalled the moments she just spent with the young man, thinking about his efforts and contributions.

Her eyes bore increasing guilt and struggle.

Ultimately, it all turned to indifference.

"I'd rather you hate me than let you take risks again."

She said softly, "Taixu, help me call Huai Yin."

She was currently in the Qilin Immortal Palace, but through the dimension frequency synchronization of alchemy technology, it was possible to communicate between different Ancient God Realms, connecting to far-off Buzhou Mountain.

Of course, this technology was very expensive, costing billions of funds per minute of conversation.

"Understood."

Taixu promptly operated.

After a brief silence, Huai Yin's cheerful voice came through: "Hello, Master."

Taihua said indifferently, "What are you doing?"

Huai Yin's side had a deafening roar, he laughed: "Oh, I'm fishing by the Nether River! Hahaha, I actually caught a Luo Yu just now, who dares say I'm a novice? But it's been so many years, and this guy still hasn't evolved into a Primordial, I thought I could find an Eternal Bone!"

Taihua's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile, she said blandly, "I just got one."

Huai Yin was stunned: "What did you say?"

Taihua continued to taunt: "It was presented to me by your disciple."

Huai Yin was shocked: "Master, that's unfair, this is my heir! If you do something so unfair, I might turn to the Divine Race against you. Where did this Eternal Bone come from? Not from Penglai Fairy Island, right? That boy is confused!"

Taihua loved seeing him eat crow and sneered: "Don't worry, your disciple left you a third, he thought Ji Zhou and the President were two people, so he gave me more than half."
