"This isn't just a resource exchange; it's a real marriage alliance."

She said casually, "I have no objection."

Because he knew what exactly was behind this marriage.

Including the true identity of Si Xingye.

The woman on the phone was silent for a moment: "That Si Xingye, what is he even worth, to marry my daughter?"

Su Youxia fell into silence, not knowing how to explain.

Because the real Si Xingye was almost nonexistent, having even forgotten who he was.

Instead, there was the Crown Prince of the Order World.

Youzhu had clearly told her not to let this woman know the true identity of that young man.

"I do not agree with this marriage."

A cold voice came from the phone: "Including Youzhu's real self, try to get her out of Peak City as soon as possible. She has to take her college entrance exam and go to university anyway, just bring her to Tokyo. The people of the Order World cannot be trusted, and I won't allow her to have any more ties to the Gu Family's bloodline, understand?"

Su Youxia was taken aback, her gaze becoming profound.

Indeed.

Pity the hearts of parents everywhere, even though this woman once abandoned their sisters.

But over the years, she was still doing her best to make amends.

The issue with Youzhu was indeed very troublesome.

Because of the Gu Family's curse.

Even though the source of the curse had been identified, the pressure brought by the Vermilion Bird Clan was too great.

Even if Gu Jianlin and Su Youzhu could both grow to Catastrophe Level in the future.

But who knows what might happen along the way.

"I'll think of a way."

Su Youxia pursed her lips and hung up the phone.

In the guest room filled with the scent of sandalwood, the sound of a blade slicing through the air came from the next room.

Moon Princess was training next door.

Gu Jianlin sat at the table, cutting a piece of fine wagyu with a knife and fork and putting it into his mouth.

"In short, that's how things are."

Old Master Si said respectfully: "The Jiang Family holds a supreme status in the Dark World, and as the biological father of the king, the old family head of the Jiang Family naturally wields unparalleled power. Moreover, as far as I know, since the king's death, the Jiang Family has been plotting something in secret for a whole two hundred years."

He spoke in a low voice: "Even with my status, I can't discern anything at all."

Gu Jianlin gave a nod, saying nothing.

Old Master Si remained in a deep bow, his expression extremely fearful.

Not that his old back couldn't support that posture.

But because the midnight snack on the table was steadily vanishing into thin air, with Iberian ham, secret-recipe charcoal-grilled lamb leg, bluefin tuna slices, and deep-fried black cod fillets all bearing a row of neat teeth marks.

Yet he couldn't see a person at all.

This scene was just like a ghost story.

As if an invisible female ghost was feasting at the table.

Gu Jianlin knew what this old man was scared of, he silently turned his head, looking at the woman sitting beside him.

Skylark contentedly drank down the last bowl of oxtail soup and said with pleasure:

"I'm full, thank you for the meal."

She picked up a napkin to wipe her alluring red lips, her stunning face breaking into a charming yet mocking smile: "Don't waste time with this pesky old man, get dressed, gear up, and head out, Little Human Pillar."

Gu Jianlin frowned: "Why?"

"To take you to investigate The Order of the Hidden."

Skylark played with a lock of hair on her forehead, her bewitching eyes flashing with amusement.

"I left a mark on that Miyamoto Shosuke."

Gu Jianlin was shocked, thinking why didn't you say so earlier.

He pointed to himself, then to the woman.

"Yes, tonight."

Skylark nodded slightly: "Just you and me."
