Suddenly, for a moment, Gu Xiuji felt that if there was anyone in the world who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Shi Ling, that person would be the Yu Chen in front of him.

This realization made him feel deeply jealous and powerless.

"Shi Ling, I admit that I thought about killing Gu Yang, but this car accident was not planned by me."

Gu Xiuji stared at Shi Ling quietly, with a hint of caution and hurt in his eyes.

Because of his identity as the Gu family's illegitimate child, he had suffered from suspicion and contempt from others since he was a child. Even his biological father was wary of him like a thief and sent him abroad to fend for himself.

It was precisely because of this that he was particularly disdainful of everything about the Gu family, so he joined the Shenyue Church abroad, climbed up step by step, gained the trust of the high priest of the Shenyue Church, and became the Pope. He also founded the JL Group, whose business scale was not inferior to the Imperial Capital Gu Group.

Along the way, Shi Ling was always by his side, supporting him and never looked down on him because of his status.

Ever since she was brought back to the Divine Moon Church by the high priest, he had been accompanying and protecting her as she grew up.

For the Pope of the Shenyue Sect, Shi Ling is the junior master of the Shenyue Sect and the incarnation of Xila, the god worshipped by the Shenyue Sect, so he is his lifelong guardian and faith.

However, for Gu Xiuji, no matter who Shi Ling is, she is his light. For her, he can betray God and faith.

"Lingling, I told you that I won't do anything you don't like."

Gu Xiuji looked at her seriously and attentively, just as he did before.

Over the years, she couldn't stand some of the evil deeds of the Shenyue Sect, and subtly changed some people in the Shenyue Sect. He saw it and silently helped her clean up the mess.

After reaching a certain level of power, the JL Group and the Wells Family were inevitably involved in some black industries with huge profits, but just because she didn't like it, he and Shi Zhenxiang cut off those industries, not only not doing it themselves, but also prohibiting others from doing it.

Shi Ling didn't look him in the eye, but turned her head away. "That's what you said last time you hypnotized me, Gu Xiuji."

Gu Xiuji was stunned, "You remembered everything."

Shi Ling stared at him with a cold expression, "Yes, at the moment you tried to hypnotize me just now."

"I won't fall into the same pit a second time." "I know."

Gu Xiuji lowered his eyes and spoke in a soft voice.

Shi Ling raised her eyes and looked at him quietly, "Then why do you still do this?"

But he met Gu Xiuji's deep and unfathomable gaze, full of struggle and helplessness, and whispered: "I'm sorry, Lingling."

"Who forced you?"

Shi Ling understood something instantly.

The next moment, a familiar wave of spiritual energy surged behind him.

Shi Ling turned around and saw a star formation appearing under the empty shade of the phoenix tree.

An old lady in a dark purple cloak came over, holding a scepter. In the dark purple scepter, the shadow of the silver cross gun was reflected. That was Xila's weapon and also the symbol of the Shenyue Church.

Behind her followed many people wearing the clothing of the Shenyue Church.

"Silly child, Xiu Ji is giving you a chance."

Gu Xiuji saw her nod slightly, stood beside her, and said respectfully, "High Priest."

The high priest looked at Shi Ling, his kind and old face slightly accusing, "You are such a heartless person. You have been away for so long and didn't even call me during the holidays. When you return to Bai Country, you would rather go see a panda than come to see me."

Shi Ling looked at her, and suddenly smiled and said, "How could I dare to go to see you? You know what I did, you will break my legs, grandma."

Qin Niao and Chu Qingci hurried over after noticing the abnormal spiritual power fluctuations. What they saw was Shi Ling confronting the chief priest of the Shenyue Sect. Their eyes couldn't help but darken slightly. (End of this chapter)
