Lu Jin'an and General Zhu fell silent. The young man in front of them looked to be only in his twenties, but in fact he was over a thousand years old.
Based on his actual age, he could be considered their ancestor.
But his physical age is that of a young person.
Especially Lu Jin'an, he just couldn't bring himself to let his heir fall in love with an ancestor who was over a thousand years old.
This person can be his ancestor, but not his actual ancestor.
Lu Jin'an sighed and said, "Based on your biological age."
Gu Zhilin wanted to refute, but then he thought about why he should consider himself old.
So he nodded obediently, "I understand."
General Zhu has already suffered two devastating blows and really doesn't want to stay with these two anymore.
So he said, "You two did well today, especially Gu Zhilin. Now everyone in the military region knows your abilities, so they shouldn't make things difficult for you anymore. Now you should prepare well for next month's assessment."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhilin stood at attention, saluted, and said, "I guarantee to complete the mission."
This slogan doesn't exist in modern society; it's Gu Zhilin's response based on 21st-century understanding.
But this answer satisfied Zhu Jiangshuai: "That's the kind of courage we need. This answer is excellent and worth promoting."
After saying that, he left on his own.
Having experienced the actual test flight, Gu Zhilin was still in a state of excitement.
However, he didn't try to do too much; instead, he asked Lu Jin'an to give him some time.
Then, using the AI to switch to note-taking mode, it started taking notes on its own.
Lu Jin'an was curious as she watched him taking notes intently: "What kind of notes are you taking?"
"Some problems were discovered during this test flight." Gu Zhilin then remembered that Lu Jin'an couldn't see his AI interface.
So they directly granted Lu Jin'an viewing permissions.
Stunned by the sudden granting of viewing privileges, Lu Jin'an was somewhat dazed: "You... you just give me viewing privileges on your AI like this? Aren't you afraid I'll go through your AI's records?"
"Is there anything I can't see?" The frank and open answer left Lu Jin'an without causing the slightest ripple.
He sighed: "That's good. I was just worried you'd mind me seeing your private information."
"Would you freely inquire about my privacy?"
"Of course not."
"That settles it then," Gu Zhilin said matter-of-factly.
"You trust me that much?" Lu Jin'an readily accepted the viewing permission and happened to see Gu Zhilin taking notes.
The notes were taken very carefully and meticulously.
Even the details that he hadn't noticed, Gu Zhilin made careful notes of.
"Of course." Gu Zhilin nodded: "I consider you a friend, a brother, so of course I'll trust you."
"But don't worry, I won't hold you to the same standards, after all, you have someone you love."
Gu Zhilin was just saying it casually, but he didn't expect Lu Jin'an to take it to heart.
He turned his head to look at Gu Zhilin, who was taking notes seriously. His words just now were obviously just casual remarks.
He even suspected that if he asked him now what he had said, the man might not even remember it.
However, Lu Jin'an still cared a lot, so he accessed his AI's viewing permissions and granted Gu Zhilin the same access.
Gu Zhilin was taking notes when a notification popped up asking for permission to view his account.
He paused for a moment and looked at Lu Jin'an. What did this mean?
“I believe you too,” Lu Jin’an said with a smile.
"Actually, there's no need for that." Gu Zhilin thought that the other party only gave him access because he had granted him viewing privileges.
But Lu Jin'an said, "That's good. Soon you will become my partner. Since we are partners, it's convenient for each other to have viewing permissions."
Gu Zhilin thought about it for a moment, and it seemed that this was indeed a good idea.
So without hesitation, I granted the viewing permission.
He continued taking notes, saying, "Come to my place tonight, and I'll teach you how to enter a meditative state."
Lu Jin'an suddenly realized that it had been a long time since she had entered Gu Zhilin's room at night.
For some reason, he suddenly felt a little nervous.
But seeing Gu Zhilin's open and honest demeanor, he felt disgusted with his own filthy thoughts.
"Okay." Try to get rid of any thoughts in your mind.
The two returned to their dormitory after Gu Zhilin finished taking notes.
Around 7 p.m.
Lu Jin'an composed herself before knocking on Gu Zhilin's door.
Gu Zhilin had already made preparations.
This time, the agarwood in the room was gone.
Even the divination was dormant, and he looked at Gu Zhilin with some confusion.
Gu Zhilin smiled and said, "Let the divination practice rest so as not to disturb you. You're at a stage where you don't need agarwood anymore, so let's not use it. Every little bit helps."
Looking at Gu Zhilin's meticulous calculations, Lu Jin'an couldn't help but think how adorable he was.
Moreover, he could clearly feel that the room had been sprayed with deodorizer, and there was no trace of Gu Zhilin's pheromones.
He felt a little regretful, but he was also very clear in his heart that if he wanted to meditate and enter a state of deep concentration to strengthen his mental power, he could not be disturbed.
Therefore, this approach is the best.
Gu Zhilin led Lu Jin'an to the balcony, where the two sat cross-legged as before.
“Before, I just told you to breathe naturally and evenly, but today I need you to regulate your breathing.” Gu Zhilin said, placing his hands folded between his legs.
Following his example, Lu Jin'an placed his hands down and asked, "How do I regulate my breathing?"
"I know that you usually breathe through your chest."
“Breathing naturally occurs through the chest cavity.” Lu Jin’an was somewhat puzzled. Could ancient people breathe through other parts of their bodies?
"What I mean is, from now on, I need you to breathe deeper, down to the lower abdomen, what we call the dantian in the 21st century. Try breathing with your abdomen first, and when you inhale, your abdomen will expand."
Lu Jin'an nodded, then tried it and found it wasn't difficult.
Just make each breath a little deeper.
"Very good. You must remember abdominal breathing. Next, you need to breathe slowly and deliberately. When you inhale, don't take a big breath all at once. Focus on a subtle, gentle breath."
This put Lu Jin'an in a bit of a dilemma. He tried it out and found that he either had to take a big breath all at once or switch to chest breathing.
"Don't rush, take it slow. It will feel strange at first. Think about how you were meditating before. You can do it." Gu Zhilin wasn't upset that she couldn't find the right method and patiently guided her on how to breathe.
Lu Jin'an tried several more times but failed each time. Somewhat dejected, she asked, "When you taught Wen Yili before, how long did it take him to learn?"
Gu Zhilin frowned upon hearing this: "Lu Jin'an, what you're doing is wrong." His expression was so serious that Lu Jin'an felt a little guilty.
