Ji Zhou was silent for a while, and the look in her eyes toward the young man became complicated.
"Is this why you insist on going? Penglai Fairy Island, the Mystery of Immortality, and Tang Zijing's secret—you aim for these? Do you know what you mean to the Human World now? People like the President and the King of Qing are not worth your sacrifice."
Her tone softened, and she said gently, "No one is worth such a sacrifice from you."
Gu Jianlin shook his head and said, "No, I think my teacher treats me well, and so does the President. I was able to return alive this time, thanks to that Golden Phoenix Feather you gave me, otherwise, the President would not have intervened."
"Heh, what's on Huai Yin's mind, only heaven knows."
Ji Zhou sneered, "The President didn't go to save you; that was to kill enemies."
"It's no different to me, and I believe the President bears me no ill will."
