“Sure, I’m free now,” said Baili Zongyang. He also wanted to see who Gu Ning’s senior was.
Because Gu Ning was also Qing He, he believed her senior Qing Feng could also have another identity.
“Please follow us ahead. We’ll stop at a suitable place,” said Gu Ning.
“No problem,” said Baili Zongyang.
After that, Baili Zongyang followed Leng Shaoting’s car. About five minutes later, Leng Shaoting’s car stopped outside a teahouse. Baili Zongyang also stopped in front of it.
When he got out of his car, Baili Zongyang saw Leng Shaoting and was amazed by him. Leng Shaoting was so young and handsome!
It seems he should be about twenty-seven years old, but he was already at the peak of the Golden Core Stage. However, it wasn’t strange, because he was Shangguan Yang’s disciple.
“Please, Mr. Baili.” Gu Ning invited him to go in.
After that, they went in, not saying anything yet, because it wasn’t appropriate.
They ordered a business private room, which was specially designed for business meals or meetings. It had good insulation, so nobody could hear them.
They were going to have a private talk, so a business private room was the best choice.
After the waiter served tea to them, Leng Shaoting, Gu Ning, and Baili Zongyang were left in the private room.
“Mr. Baili, please let me introduce you. This is my fiancé, Leng Shaoting. He’s also my senior, Qing Feng,” Gu Ning said to Baili Zongyang.
Hearing that, Baili Zongyang showed obvious surprise and asked, “Leng Shaoting, are you Lord Leng of the Leng family? The youngest major general?”
Although he asked that question, he already had the answer in his mind. He knew how unbelievably outstanding Leng Shaoting was.
“Yes,” said Gu Ning.
“Miss Gu, why are you telling me this? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell other people?” Baili Zongyang asked. He was really confused about why Gu Ning told him. After all, Leng Shaoting was from a special family.
“I believe you won’t tell other people, and I told you now for a reason. I’m afraid you two will meet in the future. If you don’t know his family background, it might cause him trouble if you tell others that he’s a cultivator. Since we met, I think it’s necessary for me to be honest with you,” said Gu Ning.
It was true. If he met Leng Shaoting one day and didn’t know that Leng Shaoting was from the Leng family, he would indeed tell his family that he found a cultivator outside the cultivation world.
In that case, if the Baili family wanted to draw Leng Shaoting to their side, other major families in the cultivation world would take action to stop it from happening. More of them would learn about Leng Shaoting and it could cause him trouble.
“Miss Gu, since you don’t want other people to know, I’ll surely keep it a secret,” said Baili Zongyang. He always kept his promises, so he wouldn’t tell anyone else.
It anyway wouldn’t do him any good and could drag him into trouble, because their master was Shangguan Yang.
In addition, Gu Ning had saved Baili Zongxue a few times, so the Baili family actually owed her. They wouldn’t return kindness with ingratitude. Most importantly, it was a good thing for the Baili family to form a good relationship with Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting.
“Great.” Gu Ning nodded. She trusted Baili Zongyang.
After that, they chatted with each other for a short while. Although Baili Zongyang talked with Gu Ning most of the time, he also asked Leng Shaoting something once in a while. As long as Leng Shaoting knew the answers, he wouldn’t hesitate to share his knowledge.
Baili Zongyang mainly asked about cultivation and he knew what he could ask about and what he couldn’t, so they had a harmonious talk.
Leng Shaoting also asked him about the cultivation world, and Baili Zongyang shared what he knew with Leng Shaoting.
“Oh, I heard Hong Yifeng has been missing for a long time. Everyone thinks he might have encountered serious trouble,” said Baili Zongyang casually.
Hearing that, Gu Ning stayed calm even though she knew Hong Yifeng was definitely dead. “Perhaps he was killed by his enemies. I’ve seen him twice, but I think that he isn’t a good guy,” said Gu Ning calmly.
“Hong Yifeng indeed isn’t a good guy. If he really ran into his enemies, it wouldn’t be a big deal. I heard there are people with super power in foreign countries as well. They have even visited our country recently. I’m worried that Hong Yifeng might have encountered them and been harmed. Not long ago, Yin Shixun was killed. No one can find the murderer, so it’s highly possible that it were those people. I don’t know whether they’ve heard of us. I’m worried something unpleasant might happen in the future,” said Baili Zongyang.
Because he didn’t know what exact abilities those people had, he was anxious.
When Baili Zongyang mentioned Yin Shixun’s death, Gu Ning didn’t panic, even though it had a close connection to her.
Since Baili Zongyang brought up those people with super powers from foreign countries, Gu Ning thought it was necessary to tell him what she knew. Anyway, if those people really intruded, they needed help from the cultivation world.
“I know something about them. Let’s begin from Country R. There are ninjas and mutants in Country R. The so-called ninjas are special killers and spies who have been given special ‘ninjutsu training’ by a special organization. If the ninja is at a high level, he could be invisible in the dark, but he couldn’t do that in a bright place. In other words, the assassinations carried out by ninjas are usually at night.”
“Mutants are a result of long-term injections of certain drugs and the blood of a certain murderous animal, who then slowly mutate in a special radiation environment for a long time. After the mutation is successful, the subject takes on the appearance of the animal in question. Mutants possess superhuman strength, but also have self-healing ability. Pustules form on the skin due to radiation that turns into a horny layer of skin after recovery, which greatly increases its defense ability. They can recover ten times faster than an average human no matter how badly injured they are. However, the radiation destroys their brain, so they have no sense of pain and have a low IQ. They are fearless and will do anything ordered by their masters,” said Gu Ning.
Hearing that, Baili Zongyang was astonished. As a cultivator, he knew monsters and ghosts really existed, but it was the first time he had heard about mutants.. Besides, they were made by humans.
