Chapter 1883: He Had to Die

“No!” Yin s.h.i.+xun struggled and shouted, because his body was seriously injured.

“No? It’s not up to you right now. Yin s.h.i.+xun, it’s time to end the grudge between us,” sneered Jing Jining, then raised his hand and hit Yin s.h.i.+xun’s energy center with great magical energy.

Yin s.h.i.+xun rounded his eyes in shock. The next second, his energy center exploded and his cultivation was ruined. Afterwards, he was dead.

Gu Ning planned to release the monster fox to absorb Yin s.h.i.+xun’s cultivation, but she gave up that idea because of Jing Jining’s presence.

She regretted showing her magical power. If she released the monster fox right now, her telepathic eye s.p.a.ce would be exposed too.

Even though Jing Jining was in the same group as her, she should still keep her secrets.

Jing Jining looked at Gu Ning. He wanted to ask her about the magical power around her body, but he was afraid it wasn’t appropriate.

Gu Ning knew what he was thinking, but she had no intention of talking about it either, so she wouldn’t mention it.

“Uncle Jing, who is he?” asked Gu Ning. She learned that he was a member of the Yin family from their conversation just now, but she didn’t know more details.

“His father is the second son of the Yin family,” said Jing Jining. “He caught me seeing Yunyao today.”

“Let’s go now!” said Gu Ning. She didn’t ask about their grudge. Since the problem was already resolved, there was no need to stay here any longer.

Gu Ning and Jing Jining climbed down the mountain and Jing Jining asked nothing about the magical power in Gu Ning’s body and how she managed to hide it from being discovered.

Actually, even if he asked Gu Ning about that, Gu Ning wouldn’t tell him the truth.

On their way down the mountain, Gu Ning called Gao Yi telling him to pick them up.

While they were waiting for Gao Yi, Gu Ning sent Chu Peihan a message and told her that she was done and fine now.

Chu Peihan had worries after leaving, so she didn’t feel fully relieved until she received Gu Ning’s message.

In half an hour, Gao Yi came and Gu Ning along with Jing Jining got in the car.

After the fight against the cultivator, Gu Ning was tired now, so she didn’t go back to her school. Instead, she went to Century City.

Jing Jining had seldom visited the capital, so he didn’t have a fixed abode in this city. He always stayed in the hotel.

Because he just came back today, he hadn’t booked a room so Gu Ning lhelped him book a room in Shengs.h.i.+ Hotel.

Once she was back in her place, Gu Ning took a shower.

After having the shower, she received a call from Leng Shaoting, walking out of the bathroom. Gu Ning told him what had happened tonight and reminded him to be careful.

Leng Shaoting was worried about Gu Ning’s safety as well, but he couldn’t stay by her side all the time. Therefore, he could only remind her to be careful and turn to Shangguan Yang for help whenever she needed help.

When Gu Ning was talking with Leng Shaoting on the phone, Jing Jining called Jing Yunyao too.

“Yunyao, the cultivator you discovered is Yin s.h.i.+xun. I met him afterwards,” said Jing Jining.

When they were in the restaurant today, Jing Yunyao sensed the cultivator, but she didn’t know it was Yin s.h.i.+xun. Because the cultivator was at a very high level, he could easily hide himself.

Jing Yunyao was unwilling to expose herself, so she left.

Back at that time, Yin s.h.i.+xun wasn’t sure whether he really saw Jing Yunyao. Once Jing Yunyao walked out, Yin s.h.i.+xun followed her, but he soon lost her. As a result, he returned to follow Jing Jining.

“And?” Jing Yunyao asked in annoyance.

If Yin s.h.i.+xun told the Jing family that she was still alive, Leng Shaoting might be in danger. She wasn’t afraid that the Jing family would find her. However, because Leng Shaoting’s level was still comparatively low, he could be easily hurt by a cultivator at a high level.

Even though Leng Shaoting had the flood dragon’s help, the flood dragon’s level wasn’t super high. Leng Shaoting could still be in danger even with its help, so Jing Yunyao was still worried.

“I had a fight against him, but I was no match for him. Luckily, Gu Ning pa.s.sed by and sensed the waves of magical energy, so she came to help me. We worked together to kill Yin s.h.i.+xun. I don’t know whether the Yin family will find us, there is a long-standing grudge between us. He has also tried to kill me, so he had to die to prevent him from telling other people that you’re still alive,” said Jing Jining. He didn’t think that he shouldn’t have killed Yin s.h.i.+xun.

In fact, if Yin s.h.i.+xun agreed to keep it a secret that Jing Yunyao was still alive, Jing Jining wouldn’t have made up his mind to kill him.

What was worse, there was an old grudge between them.

Yin s.h.i.+xun had tried to poison him once before, but he had survived that time.

He knew it was Yin s.h.i.+xun who had done it, but he didn’t have evidence. He was no match for him, so he had to tolerate it for years.

Unexpectedly, he found out that Jing Yunyao was still alive today and followed him. With Gu Ning’s help, he finally caught Yin s.h.i.+xun so it was impossible for him to let him go.

Knowing that Yin s.h.i.+xun was dead, Jing Yunyao was relieved.

“Oh, do you know why we can’t feel any air of cultivation from Gu Ning’s body? How does she manage to release and use magical power?” asked Jing Jining. He thought it was inappropriate to ask Gu Ning, so he turned to ask Jing Yunyao.

Hearing that, Jing Yunyao was slightly surprised, but wasn’t shocked, because she knew that Gu Ning had many secrets. However, she didn’t know many details.

Gu Ning couldn’t be ordinary since she was able to tame the flood dragon.

“I don’t know, but she has many secrets. If she wants to tell us, she will talk about it. If not, we shouldn’t ask about it,” said Jing Yunyao.

Hearing Jing Yunyao’s calm voice, Jing Jining realized that she knew much more about Gu Ning than him.

“Sure,” said Jing Jining. He agreed with Jing Yunyao on that.

…

After the call with Leng Shaoting, Gu Ning went to sleep.

The next day, Gu Ning got up early and went to her school. Because it would soon be the rush hour and there would be a traffic jam, Gu Ning didn’t drive, but took the subway.

However, because of the rush hour, the subway was super crowded too.

Anyway, it wasn’t so bad so she could squeeze herself inside.

From the subway station to the Capital University station, she needed to transfer to another line. It took about 50 minutes in all, which was as long as the time she might spend on the road by car. However, if she was caught in a traffic jam on the road, it could take longer by car.
