Tang Ling glanced at him as well.
The two of them stayed silent for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing.
Gu Jianlin rarely smiled, but today's events were too exhilarating—and, most importantly, successful.
Tang Ling's vermilion lips curved with an increasingly captivating charm. She also understood what today's accomplishment meant for them.
It carried the thrill of secretly pulling off something mischievous.
And the joy of taking a big step toward their goal.
"But are you sure there won't be any problems later?"
Tang Ling asked.
"Relax."
Gu Jianlin replied calmly, "In the end, the narrative will be directed to say that this was the work of a traitor within The Order of the Hidden."
Tang Ling was momentarily stunned; she hadn't expected such a twist. "I didn't know you were so slyly wicked."
Gu Jianlin raised an eyebrow. "Who says that? I've always been kind to others."
