Chapter 504 Perhaps Gu Yang Doesn’t Belong to This World
The high priest looked at Gu Xiuji and said, "Pope, what are you waiting for? Take her back. The Divine Moon Sect cannot be without its young master. Shi Ling, since the gods have chosen you, this is your destiny."
However, Gu Xiuji took off the silver cross gun pendant that symbolized the Pope, threw it in front of the high priest, and then walked to Shi Ling's side.
The high priest frowned. "Gu Xiuji, what are you doing? You went through so much hardship and sacrificed half your life to become Pope. Now you want to betray your faith?"
"I have never believed in the gods of the Shenyue Sect, but in Shi Ling."
Although Gu Xiuji also wanted to go back to the past with Shi Ling and was willing to make efforts for it, Shi Ling was unwilling and chose to stand on the opposite side of Shenyue Sect. Then he could only choose between Shi Ling and Shenyue Sect.
There is no doubt that he will only choose Shi Ling.
"Okay, okay, okay. You will be punished by God."
The high priest looked angry, raised the staff in his hand and chanted a spell.
A dark purple star formation appeared under Shi Ling's feet.
Shi Ling lowered his eyes and gently lifted his foot. A beam of bright light fell to the ground and spread out like ripples, instantly breaking up the formation.
The high priest was also shocked and stepped back, looking at Shi Ling with surprise.
She had watched Shi Ling grow up and knew Shi Ling's abilities better than anyone else, but at this moment, Shi Ling made her feel extremely unfamiliar.
"Grandma, you can't take me away. You'd better leave now, or don't blame me for not remembering our friendship." Shi Ling's face was cold and serious.
The high priest was angry: "If I don't leave, are you going to attack me?"
The followers of the Shenyue Sect behind the high priest stood facing each other with Yu Chen, Gu Xiuji, Qin Niao and Chu Qingci beside Shi Ling, as if a great battle of the Xuanmen sect was about to break out at any time.
At this moment, Shi Ling took out his phone and made a call. "Hello, is this the Imperial Capital Police? I want to report someone for illegal entry."
Everyone: “…”
Shi Ling looked at the high priest and smiled, "Grandma, you came here directly using the teleportation array. You didn't apply for a visa, right?"
High Priest: “…”
Not really.
The high priest was very angry. "Shi Ling, can't you solve the problem using the Xuanmen way?"
Shi Ling: "We live in a society ruled by law now. Fighting and killing is not good."
The high priest really couldn't afford to lose face with this man. He couldn't beat him, and if he stayed here he would be arrested by the police and deported. So he simply took the Shenyue Sect believers and left.
Shi Ling didn't want to confront her grandmother, which was why she had been avoiding her.
She looked at Gu Xiuji and asked, "You hypnotized me on purpose so that I could recover all my memories before grandma comes?"
Gu Xiuji just stared at her. "Whatever Gu Yang can do for you, I can do too. Everyone thinks I'd covet and plunder her things, but Lingling, you know I'm no worse than her. I disdain everything she owns, including the Gu Group."
He had always known that he was that man's illegitimate child, and that man had always protected Gu Yang very well, never restricting her growth, allowing her to venture into the field she liked, and was extremely wary of him, his illegitimate child.
After all, in everyone's eyes, the birth of an illegitimate child is original sin, and the existence of an illegitimate child is to compete for resources with the original wife's children.
He used to feel resigned, wondering why that man treated him like that, but he felt relieved after meeting Shi Ling.
She would not look at him with tinted glasses, neither towards him nor towards Shi Zhenxiang.
The only thing he hated about Gu Yang was that even though he had already left her sight and was no longer an eyesore, she would still appear next to the person he cared about the most. She seemed to have the aura of a protagonist by nature, and everyone who was close to her liked her.
But he didn't want Shi Ling to like her too. She already had so much, why would she want to taint the pure land that belonged to him?
Shi Ling secretly wanted to believe Gu Xiuji, but she really couldn't think of anyone else besides Gu Xiuji who had the motive and ability to make Gu Yang disappear so completely.
Gu Xiuji was like a perfect, ready-made suspect. If he really killed Gu Yang and violated her taboo, she and he would be doomed to part ways. She would not condone his crimes, even if he was someone close to her.
Shi Ling looked at Yu Chen who was standing beside him, "Isn't there Gu Yang's soul in the underworld?"
Yu Chen nodded, "No. There's not even a person named Gu Yang in the Book of Life and Death."
Qin Niao was surprised when he heard this. "Even if one's body is dead and the Tao has disappeared, as long as they once existed, there will be a record in the Book of Life and Death. Yu Chen, I heard that Fengdu is now keeping up with the times and entering the digital age. Everything is done with computers. Could there be a bug?"
Yu Chen: "...No. I confirmed it myself."
Shi Ling suddenly remembered the old street where Wen Yuzhu was captured. The old street was a place of disordered time and space, connecting to another world. She once caught a glimpse from afar and saw a person who looked very much like Gu Yang.
"Perhaps Gu Yang doesn't belong to this world."
Shi Ling understood something in an instant. Perhaps Gu Yang's soul just returned to the place where she originally belonged. However, although her car accident was the opportunity for her to go back, Shi Ling did not think it was a coincidence.
Someone wanted to use Gu Yang's death to sow discord between her and Gu Xiuji.
Want to see how she makes the difficult choice between justice and those close to her?
Only Xila has the bad taste to design such boring schemes in her reincarnated lives time and time again.
I just don't know which corner she is hiding in and watching now.
What an evil god with nothing to do.
Shi Ling tilted her head to look at Gu Xiuji, "Where is Gu Yang's crime scene? Take me there."
Gu Xiuji lowered his eyes and looked at her, with a hint of joy in his eyes, "Lingling, are you willing to believe me?"
Shi Ling: “Yeah.”
Gu Xiuji called the driver to drive over, and then opened the passenger door for Shi Ling.
Yu Chen and Qin Niao looked at each other.
Then, Qin Niao pulled Shi Ling to the back seat, and Yu Chen sat steadily in the passenger seat.
Gu Xiuji: “…”
Gu Xiuji's forehead veins twitched slightly, "Si Yuchen, don't you have a car?"
The only one who can let him open the car door himself like a driver is Lingling!
Who does Si Yuchen think he is!
Qin Niao in the back row raised an eyebrow, "Gu Xiuji, I advise you to be polite to Yu Chen."
Gu Xiuji thought of Yu Chen's identity and snorted coldly, "He can only control me after he dies. I'm not dead yet."
"Really?"
Yu Chen suddenly looked towards Gu Xiuji.
Gu Xiuji's gaze was uncontrollably drawn to meet his.
Suddenly, the gloomy silver eyes lit up, and Gu Xiuji felt something echoing in his mind. Countless unfamiliar fragments of memories emerged in his mind, assembled, and became clearer and more familiar.
Shi Ling, who was sitting in the back seat with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and felt the familiar breath returning.
It turned out that they had always been by her side.
