The black Rolls-Royce was parked on the long street, its bright headlights illuminating the rain.
Old Mrs. Si walked on the tree-lined path with his head held high and his head held high on crutches. For him, today was undoubtedly a successful negotiation. He successfully pulled the Si family out of the crisis of being suppressed, and may even make the family rise again. One step can directly carry you from the middle house to the upper house. It can be called a soaring!
He is worthy of being the ancient supreme being, the most mysterious and surly god in the history of the ancient gods.
It's easy to manipulate stupid mortals into the palm of your hand.
"I take it you haven't been to the old house for many years?"
The old man suddenly said.
Jiang Mingyan put his hands in his pockets, and the hem of his long windbreaker rustled in the wind. His eyes became colder and colder, and his voice had a glacier-like texture: "What do you mean, Mr. Si?"
She mistook it for blatant taunting.
She has indeed not been to the old house for too many years. Ever since she violated the family rules and secretly married an ordinary person and had a daughter, and was forced to return to the family, she is no longer the number one genius of the Jiang family.
She had wasted too much time, and her status in the family was not as good as before.
"I mean, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Mr. Jiang's time is limited, and he always has to consider the issues after his death. I remember that you also have a strong brother, right? Your brother gave birth to a good son. Jiang Chuge has indeed been dormant for a period of time in recent years, but no one can guarantee whether he is hiding his capabilities and biding his time."
Mr. Si said calmly: "Who will be the next head of the Jiang family? Since ancient times, the royal family has been the most cruel and bloody war in the world. The winner can naturally take everything, while the loser can only be slaughtered. If your brother takes over, what will happen to you younger brothers and sisters?"
Jiang Mingyan narrowed her sharp eyes. This was indeed what she was worried about.
The bigger your family fortune, the more wary you have to be about your brothers and sisters.
Brothers and sisters might become enemies of life and death.
The current boss of the Jiang family is over 200 years old. He is a person who has witnessed the Qing and Chi era and survived. Bu Zhoushan's cooperation was led by him, and no one can shake his status.
"I know that your situation in the Jiang family can be described as helpless. They are afraid of your talent, so they will secretly plot against you, right? Otherwise, after so many years, why are you still unwilling to prepare for promotion? What about the ninth level? Because you know that once you advance to the demigod realm, something will happen during the ceremony."
Mr. Si emphasized: "The situation is different now. The Si family can be your support. You don't want your two daughters to always be looked down upon by others in the Jiang family and be treated as concubine girls, right?"
This sentence undoubtedly poked Jiang Mingyan's weakness. She is a very proud woman.
She has a strong sense of self-esteem, and of course she doesn't want to see her daughter being looked down upon.
"The Si family's marriage is the only and best choice for you."
Mr. Si smiled and said: "Because our Si family has the qualifications to negotiate with Mr. Jiang, even if we just cure his curse and let him live for another ten or twenty years? At that time, maybe even your brother They will die of old age. For Miss Yue Ji, our young master is also a good match. A marriage can not only solve the problem of life and death, but also repair the broken mother-daughter relationship, why not do it? "
After all, she was the woman that the Supreme was interested in, so he still had to try his best to manage the relationship with her.
This young supreme doesn't seem to understand the world, and his way of dealing with things is too blunt.
Old Master Si is different. He has lived for too many years and has become a human spirit long ago.
Managing relationships is what he is best at.
This time Jiang Mingyan was not sarcastic, because she was indeed moved.
The premise is that the boy is really from the dark world.
Gu Jianlin's performance today indeed exceeded her expectations. It was not just his fighting power, but also his courage and courage. The most important thing was that he understood the law of survival in the dark world, which is that the weak eat the strong.
There is no emotion, no loyalty, and no so-called faith.
Some only have benefits.
As long as you are useful, then you are powerful and others will fear you.
This kind of power does not lie in your rank, but in whether you are useful or not.
In other words, to whom it is useful.
After understanding the rules of survival in the dark world, the seventeen-year-old boy was like a famous giant. With his toughness and arrogance, he broke the Awakening Bell and came to negotiate with the real master of the Youying Group.
If Gu Jianlin is really from the dark world, his future will be limitless.
The problem is that he's not.
Jiang Mingyan knew his true identity very well.
He's just an impostor.
And once his true identity is exposed, it will be enough to trigger a large-scale war!
"Sometimes, identity is not that important. We have to take a longer view."
Mr. Si smiled mysteriously, handed her a copper coin, and said in a low voice: "Sometimes you don't necessarily have to choose the right camp. As long as you follow the right person, no matter which side wins, you will have the last laugh."
A flash of lightning illuminated the woman's seemingly cold face.
A strange light flashed in Jiang Mingyan's eyes.
The old man's words have a profound meaning, which is to let him take a longer-term view.
It’s not just the infighting of the dark world.
It is the dispute between order and darkness, which is the ultimate end of the world.
As far as the current situation is concerned, there is really a person in this world. As long as you are willing to bet on him, no matter which side, darkness or order, wins, you will have the last laugh.
That person is Gu Jianlin.
And all you have to pay is the price of a daughter.
But your daughter still has to be him.
So, do you really want to continue to be this evil person?

Gu Jianlin looked down at the black charm on his wrist. The skull-like mark seemed to be burned on his skin. This was the change brought about after signing the blood oath, as if a time bomb was tied to his body.
Yue Ji glanced at his wrist and looked away calmly.
In fact, as long as he is in Tokyo, the old ghost of the Jiang family really wants to kill a super-dimensional person, it is just a matter of thought.
There's no need to go to such trouble.
Just having this kind of thing in hand is still a time bomb, and you must find a way to clear it.
"The petals of the Lotus of Netherworld are indeed rare and authentic. I can feel the breath of the ancient gods stirring. It feels like a beast that smells blood, and there is a kind of madness that is ready to move." Jiang Chunyang played with the petals in his hand. Inside the wooden box was a dark petal. It was as crystal clear as jade, with thousands of scarlet lines like blood threads. Unfortunately, it was all gray and had withered long ago.
"I think when Qing Qing and Chi claimed that there was another evolutionary chain in the world, none of us wanted to believe it. Unexpectedly, the facts a few years later proved that they were right."
He lamented: "Qing and Chi are geniuses, but we are mediocre."
It's not just this old man.
Yue Ji's pupils also had a flash of blood.
Gu Jianlin even felt the restlessness of the ancient god's breath in his body. He stared at the withered petals in the wooden box and tried to use profile to analyze it, but he could only feel a mysterious and vast aura.
He took out a note from his pocket, handed it out along the stone table, and said calmly: "This is the method for the first three days. With your energy, you can naturally find the best alchemist."
Jiang Chunyang raised his cloudy eyes and asked calmly: "Only three days? I shared my biggest secret with you, and I also gave you my most proud and beloved little granddaughter."
There is no such shameless person in the world.
If Yue Ji wasn't of a high enough rank, she would have wanted to kill someone with her sword at this moment.
When the two sisters were still in their infancy, they were almost killed by the Jiang family.
Now she will be given away as a bargaining chip, and she will become the old guy's favorite granddaughter.
It's disgusting.
"I said, it's not enough."
Gu Jianlin said carefully: "I want to know what is in that pyramid."
Jiang Chunyang sneered and said hoarsely: "If you ask me, I don't know. You should ask my dead son. This is his legacy. I can treat you as the son-in-law of my Jiang family and come with us." Explore that ultimate. We don’t know why that sacred ruin appears in Qilin Immortal Palace, but there is no doubt that it is the place where Qing and Chi arrived back then. Aren’t you curious? Don’t you want to be like them?”
"Venerable Qilin is indeed the craziest ancient supreme being. I didn't expect that the Zhuzhao Sacred Tree and the Lotus of Nether Ying were both brought back from the old land of the ancient gods. It's so interesting, hahaha!"
The old man was swallowed up by the thick black mist and disappeared without a trace.
Without even thinking about it, he was definitely eager to relieve his curse.
After Jiang Chunyang disappeared, the cold ghostly aura disappeared without a trace, and the pressure that filled the courtyard also disappeared.
This is what it means to see off guests.
Gu Jianlin let out a breath of turbidity in his chest.
As the ruler of the dark world, the old ghost puts a lot of pressure on him.
But compared to the pressure, the old man's last words made him have unreasonable associations.
All clues currently point to Lord Qilin.
He is the most mysterious and crazy Supreme Being.
The four supreme beings are all afraid of Him.
However, the ancient supreme beings are all equal in status, and there is no absolute disparity.
Even Master Zhulong is only better at fighting, but he cannot always suppress or kill a Supreme.
So what is so special about Him?
The words Jiang Chunyang said unintentionally just now exploded like thunder.
Both the Zhuzhao Sacred Tree and the Lotus of Nether Ying were brought back by Venerable Qilin from the old land of the Ancient God Clan.
The so-called old land is my hometown.
Why is it that only Lord Qilin can bring the two supreme holy objects to the earth?
Why do the Supremes fear him because of this?
Just as he was thinking, Yue Ji suddenly grabbed his right hand.
"Walk."
Yue Ji observed the old house and seemed to think of something unintentionally. The palm of his right hand was cold and even trembling slightly: "I feel a little uncomfortable. Let's get out of here quickly."
Gu Jianlin knew that her so-called discomfort was false because she had something more important to hint at.
"Do you remember the mysterious coordinates you gave me?"
Tsukihime pretended to be uncomfortable, snuggled into his arms, and spoke a secret code that was creepy: "We have been wandering around Shinjuku for so long but still can't find this coordinates. Is there a possibility that it can be found?" It’s not in the normal dimension at all? What would be the result if it were recalculated using a virtual dimension?”
Gu Jianlin was slightly startled. That mysterious coordinate might be in Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden!
But they can no longer stay here.
Jiang Chunyang has clearly expressed his intention to see off the guests.
If you try to do anything else, it will definitely arouse his suspicion.
After a long silence.
"I understand. If you feel uncomfortable, please leave first."
He looked around with deep eyes: "Today's goal has been achieved."
The evening breeze blew through the cherry blossom trees, and the petals fell on the lakeside. The backs of the boy and the girl gradually disappeared into the tree-lined path, as if they were swallowed by darkness, and there was no sound anymore.
Talisman paper fluttered in the silent shrine, and countless wind chimes swayed in the wind, as if watching them leave.

In the virtual network conference room, the boy and girl under the camera drove away from Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden.
Number 1 breathed a sigh of relief: "Mission accomplished."
"It seems that No. 4 is right. This guy really likes people who are outside the plan. He is born to be in the dark world and complete tasks in the toughest and most direct way. He has understood the rules of survival here. . For the dark world, you cannot show weakness. Once you show weakness, someone will eat you."
No. 3 said quietly: "It's like God cannot bleed, otherwise he will be swallowed up by hundreds of millions of believers."
Number 4 was silent for a long time and whispered: "It seems that the president sent him to us because he wanted to make him a variable, right? Every shadow has its own way of doing things, as long as it can complete the task. With his ability, we should be cooperating with him, not him cooperating with us."
The original intention of the shadows was to use his mental immunity to successfully pass the test of the Awakening Bell.
Thus winning the trust of the Jiang family.
Unexpectedly, Gu Jianlin gave an answer in his own way.
There is no need for trust in this world, as long as there are benefits.
quite a while.
Number 5’s voice sounded: “Later, I will summarize the intelligence obtained this time and upload it to the think tank for analysis. We need to know what is in that mysterious tomb, including what is strange about the body of the Red King. This is the most important thing. Once there is a discrepancy between these two crucial variables, the conclusions drawn will be completely different.”
Today's information is a huge shock to every shadow.
Their hearts are not at peace.
"In short, the mission is over and we recognize his abilities."
Just as the shadows were breathing a sigh of relief, Number One suddenly said.
"etc."
No. 1's voice trembled slightly as he said, "Qilin's shadow has disappeared!"
Gu Jianlin's mastery of the Qilin Forbidden Curse was not a secret to them.
Using avatars to convey messages was something they never thought of.
However, under the surveillance camera, the ghostly shadow mysteriously disappeared.
"Now that the mission is over, it's normal to take back the shadow, right?"
"That being said, I have a bad feeling."
"When Kirin left in the car, he glanced into the depths of Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden."
"Is there a possibility that he is going to do something big?"
"No need to guess, Qilin has already sent a message asking us to cooperate with his next actions."
·

In the quiet old house, the cherry blossoms spreading like a tide cover the lake.
Someone by the lake raised his eyes and stared at the silent shrine.
That was Gu Jianlin's shadow.
His body had already left, but before leaving, he took back his shadow and left it here.
Shadow's wrist was wrapped with silver-white locks of non-existence, and he walked through the tree-lined paths like a ghost, quietly walking into the silent shrine. Countless talismans and wind chimes seemed to welcome his arrival.
