"You little..."
Ignoring Leng Yulai, who was anxiously stamping her feet nearby.
Gu Chen reached out and gently stroked Jia Lin's hair. "Jia Lin, I need to talk to this big sister about something. Don't run around. If an uncle comes out later, tell him to wait. If anything else happens, call Uncle Di Tian over."
"Okay, Jia Lin will behave."
She was still too young, after all.
She could not understand many of the words Gu Chen and the others used.
As for anything inappropriate, Gu Chen naturally filtered it out directly, unwilling to let a child learn bad things.
Even though Jia Lin had already grown into a young girl.
Just as Gu Chen had thought.
The later children came into contact with dark things, the better.
"Mm... Teacher, let's talk somewhere else."
After thinking for a while, Gu Chen still decided to address her as Teacher. Any other form of address he wanted to use would be too strange, and he was not used to it either.
Teacher was more familiar.
"Alright."
Naturally, Leng Yaozhu would not refuse Gu Chen's wish to chat with her alone.
Besides...
Leng Yulai was right under Gu Chen's watch.
She could not possibly run around.
(If she really ran off and did anything bad, she would die...)
In an instant, Gu Chen brought Leng Yaozhu to the top floor of the Spirit Pagoda. They sat on separate sofas some distance apart, yet close enough to see each other's faces clearly.
"The Spirit Pagoda has resumed operations now, but... Artificial Soul Spirits have reached a bottleneck as well."
"Because Gu Yue left?"
"Mm..."
She was a god, after all. Gu Yue's ideas and perspective had undoubtedly been an important research direction. Even ten-thousand-year Artificial Soul Spirits were practically an insurmountable mountain
