The scene before him was extrely horrifying.
Zhang Xuzhi let out a painful scream toward the sky, with blood dripping from his mouth.
His back had been pierced through.
Gu Jianlin held his heart, though his gaze wasn't on him.
Instead, he lifted his head to look at the massive face amidst the wind and snow.
"This should be our first eting, but I have long heard of your great na."
He said coldly, "Vice President Rhein."
The wind and snow howled.
The crowd remained silent. This update is available on NoveI-Fire.??et
The enormous face gazed at him, yet its eyes didn't convey a sense of looking down, instead showing a hint of solemnity, it said indifferently: "I must admit, until now I regarded you as just a child or a junior. But now it seems you're standing before , ready to challenge ?"
The cruel voice echoed between heaven and earth.
Gu Jianlin slightly exerted force in his palm, his voice sounded gentle yet inexplicably resonant: "Sothing like that, actually I have never been interested in the factional struggles within the Ether association. My teacher doesn't ddle, so as his student, I'm not in a position to take action. I just want to protect those I wish to protect, and uncover what I want to uncover."
"But now, the Judgent Court is getting in my way, and I'm tired of your so-called factional struggles."
He denied nothing, speaking coldly: "Whether it's Mu Feng or the people in the refuge, or Lu Zijin and the Lin Family siblings, and my father's student Moon Princess. If the Judgent Court wishes to move against them, that is unacceptable."
Crack!
Zhang Xuzhi let out a muffled groan, blood dripping from his lips onto the snow-covered ground.
He fell into the snow with a thud, dead.
The scarlet color spread across the snow.
Gu Jianlin raised his hand, displaying the bloody, still-beating heart in his grasp.
"I really want to know, since the Judgent Court accuses others of colluding with the Fallen, forming cliques for private gain, and violating order. Now, if a minister with a Judgent Court background abuses public office for private gain, attempts to murder mbers within the association, colludes with Dusk. Does this count as violating order, Vice President Rhein?"
His voice wasn't loud, yet it pierced through the howling wind and snow.
Rhein silently stared at him.
After a long while.
"Of course it counts."
He openly admitted: "With such irrefutable evidence, why wouldn't it count? This ti, you've won. All consequences and responsibilities will be borne by
as the Vice President."
Gu Jianlin expressionlessly discarded the heart from his hand.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is your official signal to intervene in the factional struggle within the Ether association. From now on, I will consider you a real opponent, just like your two senior brothers."
Rhein said indifferently: "I might as well call you Mr. San, looking forward to our next confrontation."
The majestic golden face silently collapsed.
The crowd was stunned speechless.
That was Vice President Rhein.
The prospective next President, a Ninth Rank demigod.
Had actually regarded a Fourth Rank junior as an opponent.
Gu Jianlin looked down at the blood on his hands, silently.
Suddenly, a shadow wrapped in wind and snow descended beside him.
"Wipe it off."
She offered a handkerchief, speaking coolly.
Gu Jianlin was taken aback, before him stood a familiar woman in military uniform.
Han Jing.
"Lord Lin Dong asked
to watch over you, lest sothing happens to you."
Han Jing glanced at the young man, speaking softly: "Since you've already decided to step into the fray, then you'll need a camp, right? Last ti you refused , so this ti, do you want to publicly embarrass ?"
Gu Jianlin was silent for a mont, accepted the handkerchief to wipe his hands, and shook his head.
Han Jing rarely showed a smile: "I didn't want you to get involved initially because I didn't want you to bear too much pressure. But it seems now, you should indeed take your father's place. By the way, your chair killer nickna is too inelegant, want to pick a new code na?"
Gu Jianlin gazed at the swirling wind and snow, pondering for a mont: "Any code na, is fine?"
"Of course, a code na is irrelevant, choose whatever you like."
Han Jing explained.
"Hmm."
Gu Jianlin thought for a while.
"Then... Qilin."
