CHAPTER 724: CHAPTER 350: THE SKYLARK’S RESENTFUL QI (2)

The Moon Princess gently advised, "It seems now that this curse cannot be solved by divorce but operates through some other principle. Perhaps you don’t know, but besides dreaming of you being eaten by a bird-like monster, Mom also said she saw a person standing in the storm, calling out to her from a great distance."

"That Great God guarded her dream, yet saw nothing."

She lightly pursed her vermilion lips, "Mom claimed the person she saw was..."

Gu Jianlin turned his head in astonishment to look at her. The mutual understanding between them no longer required her to finish her sentence.

"Yes, it’s the teacher."

The Moon Princess’s eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment as she softly said, "She said she saw Old Gu."

Gu Jianlin froze, his bangs lifted by the wind, revealing eyes of shock.

"Old Gu, are you sure?"

Under normal circumstances, he would definitely think this was an illusion, or simply a dream.

However, the problem lies in that Mom’s dreams are not without reason. The Gu Family’s curse stems from the Vermilion Bird Clan, hence she dreamed of a bird-like monster, which also wants to eat her son.

Everything lines up.

So her dreaming of her ex-husband, isn’t there a deeper reason?

"Years ago, the teacher did indeed have someone perform hypnosis on Mom, so when she divorced, she felt nothing and quickly moved on to a new life. When mentioning the teacher again, there wasn’t any emotional turmoil; it was just like mentioning an old friend, with a faint sense of nostalgia in her words."

The Moon Princess raised her hand and pressed it against the lock of the door, pushed it effortlessly and shattered the lock cylinder, her voice clear and calm, "That’s the world of adults, no one is indispensable. If it fits, stay together; if not, separate. Everyone makes mistakes, and everyone has the right to start anew. It’s just hard on the kids."

"The problem arose when Old Gu had the car accident, she had never dreamed back then."

Gu Jianlin murmured softly, "Why is she dreaming of Old Gu now?"

The siblings exchanged a glance, both considering that possibility.

Could this be Old Gu’s contingency plan?

The Moon Princess knew well what that man had been doing over the years. If he truly believed that divorce could save his wife and children, then he was evidently too naive and unworthy of the title of the world’s greatest archaeologist.

Before Gu Ci’an died, he left so much information, and secret bases scattered around the world and even in the Ancient God Realm, which shows just how cautious and cunning he was.

Moreover, he might have arranged the aftermath of his own death in advance.

For a person like this, how could he not plan ahead?

"Therefore, I think Mom dreaming of the teacher is a good thing."

She said seriously, "This proves the teacher foresaw this."

Gu Jianlin nodded slightly, "I also lean towards this idea, then why the sour face?"

The Moon Princess’s cat mask obscured her expression.

But her eyes remained icy like frost.

"What do you think?"

She said coldly, "That woman has always been beside Mom, those unknowing might think she’s the Gu family’s daughter-in-law. I thought the only foolish woman willing to marry into the Gu Family to face that cursed fate was me. But unexpectedly, I encountered someone as foolish as me."

Each word pierced like sword and dagger.

Gu Jianlin felt as though she stabbed his heart, blood spurting.

"That woman likes you."

The Moon Princess pushed open the door, casually flicked on the light in the detached house.

The light illuminated the old-fashioned living room, all furniture was wooden and seemed aged.

All electronics were outdated, like from the 1990s.

This detached house exuded a palpable sense of age, evidently a room belonging to a solitary elderly person who might have already passed away, the furniture bearing the marks of time.

In Ying Province, there were many such solitary elderly, leaving behind these empty houses wasn’t surprising.

Gu Jianlin was not thinking of anything else but that sentence.

That woman likes you.

In truth, they had a close-knit comrades-in-arms relationship, sharing common goals and enemies, naturally coming together to face unknown dangers. They teamed up for adventures, explored the Ancient God Realm’s secrets, sought past truths, rebelled against injustices in fate, and completed self-growth and redemption.

She saved him, he also saved her, they had shared life-risking bonds.

Gu Jianlin had asked her to come help kill a person, with the condition to help her find out the truth about her grandfather.

So he resolutely rushed to the Sea of Eternal Life.

Not only because Tang Zijing and Gu Ci’an were teammates before, holding huge secrets.

Also because of that promise back then.

He’s a person who stands by his words.

No one expected the final confrontation with the Kui Bird Ancestor’s soul.

In such situations, how could Gu Jianlin abandon his comrade and flee alone?

So they ascended to the heavens together.

In the end, Xu Fu screwed them over.

Recalling this is quite awkward.

Now things seem a bit complicated.

Gu Jianlin couldn’t possibly have no feelings for that girl.

A girl like Tang Ling, every man should like.

Su Youzhu was the same, who wouldn’t like her?

Gu Jianlin’s sexual orientation wasn’t a problem, he suddenly realized this was quite troublesome.
