CHAPTER 729: CHAPTER 352: BIG SISTERS ARE MEANT TO BE OVERTHROWN!

Gu Jianlin fell silent upon hearing those words.

The importance of the Qilin Venerable to him was self-evident. Perhaps the Qilin Venerable was the most important divine being he had ever encountered in his life. Without that mysterious mask, everything that had happened recently would have been rewritten. This Ancient Supreme was extremely mysterious; you couldn’t understand His behavioral logic, let alone discern His purpose.

"Why did the Qilin Venerable do this?"

He suddenly asked in his heart, "Even to the point of betraying his own kind?"

In his impression, there wasn’t initially any deep hatred among the Ancient Supremes.

Skylark snorted coldly; she knew what this little guy was thinking.

Because they were of the same kind.

Just like how she was wary of that Blood-colored Supreme.

This young man was always apprehensive about that Black Supreme.

Gu Jianlin assumed she had fallen into thought, and didn’t dare to disturb, preparing to listen carefully.

He had always been a good student.

Unexpectedly, Skylark exclaimed coquettishly, "Call me sister."

Gu Jianlin clearly felt his blood pressure rising.

A warrior would rather die than be humiliated.

He had tolerated this woman for too long.

"Do you think this is fun?"

He said coldly, "Sister!"

The last two words he practically spat out with malice.

Strangely, very few people could sway his emotions like this, making him both irritated and helpless.

"Now do you realize how important sister is? Compared to Taihua and the King of Qing, you should trust me more, because I am the one of your kind. Pleasing your most esteemed sister is your only way out."

Skylark’s voice was ethereal and charming, as if divine music, and she explained, "This is a secret unknown even to the Ancient Supremes, because the rank of the Qilin Venerable is too high; you cannot peer into Him by any means. Neither the Candle Dragon Venerable’s power to reverse karma, Bai Ze Venerable’s knowledge of all things, the Vermilion Bird Venerable’s power to dominate reincarnation, nor the Xuanming Venerable’s power of annihilation and void can do it."

"Currently there is only a speculation, because the Qilin Venerable was the last of the Ancient Supremes to be born, He is very likely aware of some unknown secrets, hence becoming so crazed, so inscrutable."

She said quietly, "Especially after coming to Earth, it seems He confirmed his conjecture, thus trying by every means to seize the Candle Light Divine Tree, indulging in such mad actions."

Gu Jianlin was taken aback: "You lost your memory, and yet you remember these things?"

Skylark said coldly, "I lost my memory, but that doesn’t mean I’m stupid. I just feel like I’m missing some very important memories; perhaps there was an error during my evolution. All these secrets originate from Buzhou Mountain. In the memories I retained, I was kept there for a very long time."

"I see."

Gu Jianlin vaguely understood something: "So you found me not just because we are the same kind, but because you know I inherited the power of the Qilin Venerable. Transplantation is the creation of the Qilin Venerable. You want to find the truth of this secret technique to uncover your past and confirm your future."

After saying this, no echo sounded in his heart for quite some time.

For a long while.

"I clearly warned you."

Skylark’s voice was as cold as if carrying a piece of transparent ice: "Do not profile me."

Gu Jianlin leaned against the bookshelf in the study, calmly said: "This is already my instinct. Since you say you are of my kind, riding with me in the same boat, how could I not understand you? Because I also want to know what the true essence of Transplantation is. Because as you and I both know, we are creations."

"The difference is, I was created by the Qilin Venerable, while you were created by the Candle Dragon Venerable."

He said seriously: "The problem is, your mentality seems different from mine."

Skylark didn’t speak.

"I just want to understand why He did this, and I don’t sense a crisis. I am very clear about who I am. But you are different; you have always had a strong sense of crisis because you fear being consumed."

Gu Jianlin whispered in his heart, "You don’t know who you are. The one you dread is the Candle Dragon Venerable. If you assume you are human, then how could you possess the power of the Candle Dragon Venerable? No doubt, you are a creation of Transplantation, so why did the Candle Dragon Venerable do this?"

"The Candle Dragon Venerable failed at ascending, and yet you were born."

He closed his eyes, recalling the tyrannical and violent Blood-colored Supreme, said calmly: "What you are worried about is that Candle Dragon Venerable’s failed ascension will, sooner or later, lead him to consume you, to harvest you like fruit."

Vaguely, ethereal souls appeared, a peerless face close at hand.

Those enchantingly alluring eyes fixed on him, word by word: "Don’t you fear the Qilin Venerable?"

Gu Jianlin said expressionlessly: "Originally I was a bit worried, but since you’ve been hiding in my body, I no longer worry about this issue, because you’ve already given me the answer."

The warm breath was close at hand.

Yet the girl’s gaze suddenly sharpened, as if to penetrate his very soul.

"If the Qilin Venerable would truly come to consume me, then undoubtedly you would be in danger too, because by then you wouldn’t escape either. You are so cautious, staying by my side because you are confident I am safe."

Gu Jianlin, unafraid, met those enchantingly alluring eyes and smiled silently: "You must have confirmed this somehow before daring to stay with me. How did you confirm it? Because you’ve pried into my memories. Undoubtedly, you’ve seen the conversation between the Qilin Venerable and that mysterious individual, and the scene where He created the Qilin Mask, breaking free of restraints like an ethereal soul."

"Including how I fused with that mask, you might know more than me."

The more he thought, the clearer his thoughts became, like discovering a new continent, the spark of amusement glinting in his eyes: "Therefore, you are sure I won’t be consumed by the Qilin Venerable."

Skylark’s gaze toward him changed.

If it were before, she always considered him a naïve young Qilin.

Only for teasing and toying.

But now, she had become serious.

Truly viewing him as an independent entity.

Basically the difference between a child and an adult.

"Since we are of the same kind, why won’t I be consumed by the Qilin Venerable, but you worry about being consumed by the Candle Dragon Venerable? Does this mean there is something different about us?"

Gu Jianlin crossed his arms, each word a dagger: "The result is the same, but the process is different."

Skylark clearly felt she underestimated this young man.

Not to mention his potential.

Just his intelligence alone was already too monstrous.

No wonder the Joker was repeatedly beaten in the cafeteria of Peak City’s Second High School.

She also made a fatal mistake.

She shouldn’t have gotten too close to him.

"Don’t come near me; otherwise, I’ll know everything."

Gu Jianlin said softly: "Skylark, you didn’t obtain the Candle Dragon power by fusing with the mask. I don’t know the exact meaning of this method, but you and I are not the same."

A long silence.

Accompanied by the falling Mandala petals, Skylark hovered in the air, gazing down at him with alluring and captivating eyes, and said indifferently: "Very well, you’ve discovered my secret and discerned my weakness."

Gu Jianlin retorted, "And then?"

"Why should I let someone who knows my weakness live?"

Skylark’s vermilion lips curled slightly, smiling coldly: "I can completely kill you."

Yes, the disparity between the Ninth Rank and Fifth Rank is like heaven and earth.

"No, you wouldn’t want to kill me."

Gu Jianlin said indifferently: "Because you still rely on me. You taught me so much, brought me to investigate The Order of the Hidden, leading me back to the secrets of the Qilin Immortal Palace. You’re hiding from someone and fearing someone. Most importantly, if Candle Dragon Venerable really wants to consume you, who can save you?"

Skylark looked down indifferently, her eyes void of emotion.

"In this world, the only one with the ability to confront that Blood-colored Supreme is my future self."

Gu Jianlin affirmed: "Don’t you possess the Future Vision ability? You deliberately groomed me, isn’t it to await my growth to help you face the crisis coming in the future?"

Skylark, infuriated yet amused, even reached out to poke his forehead, indignantly: "I rely on you? You said I rely on you? You’re so weak, what can you use to protect me? Your mouth?"

Gu Jianlin stared at her silently, humming a tune in his mind.

After many days, he finally won back a round.

To sit and wait for doom wasn’t his nature, nor would he allow himself to be controlled by others.

He must take the initiative.

Yet he couldn’t let a bad woman dominate him.

Because the destiny projection encountered at Penglai Fairy Island had already warned him.

That bad woman, most likely, was the one in front of him.

No matter how noble you are now as a sister, so what.

Isn’t a sister meant to be challenged!

Skylark also stared at him, humming an elegant and enchanting melody.

Her eyes were full of disdain.

As if unwilling to admit she was overpowered by a Qilin cub.

Not knowing how long had passed.

Skylark glared at him with a faint anger, her gaze sorrowful and tender, saying softly: "Alright, you’re right. I am indeed afraid. So if that day really comes, will you come to protect your sister? I’ve shown my heart to you, even giving over-the-knee socks as a reward. Who else treats you so well?"

Can’t you stop mentioning those over-the-knee socks!

Gu Jianlin’s hair stood on end, forcing himself to say: "First, I hope you can respect me a bit, don’t make me feel like I’m your adopted son. Second, I hope you can be more honest with me. You’re like a ticking time bomb, countless people are searching for you. I also want to know your past, which would ease my mind."

This woman knows so much, it’s starting to scare him.

His foremost desire now is to confirm her true identity.

If she is indeed human, the situation isn’t utterly dire.

If she’s not...

He didn’t dare to think about that horrifying possibility.

Next, how many enemies does this woman have, and whether he can handle them.

"Hmph."

Skylark pouted: "An elder sister is like a mother; what’s wrong with treating you like a son? There are plenty of people online with this kind of kink, right? I can reward you just like those people. My dear son, Mommy loves you."

Gu Jianlin’s eye twitched slightly.

Clearly, this woman was retaliating against him again.

"Alright, stop teasing you."

Skylark reached out to cup his face, vigorously kneading his cheeks: "Eh, your face surprisingly feels quite soft. I thought your expressionless face was stiff. Stop wearing a deadpan look. We’re grasshoppers on the same rope. I need you to help me uncover the truth and face the future crisis."

"Similarly, you need me now to help you grow."

She teased: "Otherwise, why would I bring you here?"

Gu Jianlin expressionlessly pushed her hand away.

Their conversation seemed to be in an independent dimension, unnoticed by anyone else.

Moon Princess was still focused on the computer operation.

The video ended after viewing the mural earlier.

She was looking at a set of images, displaying a perplexed expression: "What’s this thing?"

Gu Jianlin turned to look, and the images on the screen were clearly a scorched tree root, covered with burning red-hot patterns. The mysterious arrangement conveyed a written-like illusion, even emitting golden smoke.

He immediately thought of one thing.

The root of the Candle Light Divine Tree!

"I see, no wonder Jiang Chunyang suddenly went mad."

Skylark said blandly: "Solomon used the curse of the Candle Light Divine Tree."
