Chapter 2224: It’s Normal to Be Mysterious Sometimes
Huang Haihao didn’t receive any calls to pay him to frame Song Wenxuan again. Perhaps the person gave up after what had happened recently, or the mastermind might be Zhou Litao. Because Huang Haihao turned him down, they turned to other people.
…
Gu Ning went to the airport at 1 pm, so she didn’t say good-bye to the Song family. She only called Song Wenxuan and Leng Yuanjin and told them that she was leaving.
They knew Gu Ning needed to deal with her business, and the assassination of Song Wenxuan had already taken a lot of Gu Ning’s time, so they didn’t keep her. They were very grateful to Gu Ning for her help, and repeatedly thanked her.
When Gu Ning got back to the capital, it was about 5:30 pm so she called Jing Yunyao, asking where she was. Once she heard Jing Yunyao was in the Pavilion of Magic, she said she would go to meet them and they could have a meal together.
She had a better appetite when she had a meal with more people.
However, when Gu Ning almost reached the Pavilion of Magic, she received a call from Jing Yunyao who told her there was a cultivator coming. She and Miao Jingjing had to leave first.
Gu Ning was only a few minutes away from the Flowers and Plants Trading Center, so she went to the Pavilion of Magic before meeting Jing Yunyao.
The cultivator who went to the Pavilion of Magic was Jing Yunfei. After Jing Yunfei arrived, he directly asked who the owner was.
Lin was told to say Gu Ning owned the Pavilion of Magic no matter who asked her that question, because all the cultivators had heard of Gu Ning, so they wouldn’t think further if they were told the owner was Gu Ning.
Without surprise, when Jing Yunfei learned that this flower shop was owned by Gu Ning, he didn’t bother to ask more questions, but he felt displeased upon thinking of Gu Ning.
Anyway, since this shop was owned by Gu Ning, there was no need for him to ask for more details.
Before Gu Ning came, Jing Yunfei walked out and they ran into each other on the road.
“Oh, hi, Mr. Jing, what a coincidence!” Gu Ning greeted Jing Yunfei of her own accord with a vague smile on her lips, but she actually had an evil idea.
She greeted Jing Yunfei not because she was polite, but because she wanted to scheme against him.
Seeing Gu Ning, Jing Yunfei looked unhappy, but he thought he should be nice when Gu Ning greeted him of her own accord. “Hi, yeah, what a coincidence!”
“Mr. Jing, did you come for my flower shop?” Gu Ning asked with a faint smile, but she actually already had the answer.
“Since you know, why do you bother to ask me?” said Jing Yunfei in annoyance. He felt Gu Ning was making fun of him.
“Mr. Jing, what if I tell you I’m willing to let you know who gave me that medicine?” said Gu Ning.
“What? Will you really let me know?” Jing Yunfei was greatly surprised, because he didn’t expect Gu Ning to say that. At the same time, he stayed doubtful. He wasn’t sure whether Gu Ning was being honest.
“Yes, because I can’t stand your stalking and spying any longer. If you want that medicine, go ask the person for it by yourself,” said Gu Ning, and showed impatience on purpose.
“Who is that person?” Jing Yunfei asked in a hurry. Whether Gu Ning was being honest or not, he wouldn’t miss this chance. He wouldn’t allow other people to get that medicine before him.
“He lives in a wooden room at the east side of the Phoenix Mountain. Believe it or not, it’s up to you whether you’ll go there,” said Gu Ning.
There was indeed a wooden room at the east side of the Phoenix Mountain, but no one was living inside. It was set up by a crew when they filmed there.
At the beginning, it attracted many visitors, but nobody went there again after people lost interest in it.
Gu Ning told Jing Yunfei to go there, but didn’t plan to let him down. She only wanted to teach him a lesson.
It wasn’t because Gu Ning was deliberately causing trouble, but because the Jing family was Jing Yunyao’s enemies. As Jing Yunyao’s future daughter-in-law, she should naturally side with her. Even if Jing Yunfei was innocent, she wouldn’t miss any chances to punish him and vent her anger on him.
Jing Yunfei squinted at Gu Ning. He wanted to see whether she was telling the truth from her expression, but Gu Ning stayed calm.
“Great, I hope it isn’t a lie, or I’ll pay you back.” Jing Yunfei chose to trust Gu Ning for now, but he felt he should warn her. If Gu Ning really lied to him, he definitely wouldn’t let her get away with it. Although cultivators usually couldn’t hurt mortals, it didn’t mean mortals could fool them.
“Why should I lie to you? I don’t see how I can get anything good from it. But I can’t promise what you’ll find there. Don’t blame me if you can’t find anything,” said Gu Ning.
“I know. Whether I can find anything, I’ll bear the result on my own,” said Jing Yunfei. He admitted that he wasn’t tolerant, but he wouldn’t blame Gu Ning if he found nothing.
“Great, then I should go now.” Gu Ning didn’t waste more time talking with Jing Yunfei, and just walked into the flower shop.
Jing Yunfei didn’t want to waste more time on Gu Ning either, so he left as well. However, once Jing Yunfei walked away, Gu Ning turned around and followed him.
She wanted to make sure Jing Yunfei would really go there. If he went there, she would go there too, or she wouldn’t have the chance to teach him a lesson.
Gu Ning followed Jing Yunfei along the way. Because she could use her Jade Eyes to see where Jing Yunfei was going, she didn’t need to be close to him and wasn’t afraid of being discovered.
Gu Ning couldn’t focus on Jing Yunfei all the time, because cultivators had acute senses. If she stared at him for a longe time, he would surely feel it.
When Gu Ning made sure that Jing Yunfei was going to the Phoenix Mountain, she stopped following him and turned to drive quickly to the Phoenix Mountain.
At the same time, Gu Ning called Jing Yunyao and told her what she was going to do. She also asked Jing Yunyao whether she wanted to teach Jing Yunfei a lesson in person. Jing Yunyao could put on a baseball cap and a mask. No one could recognize her if she stayed quiet.
Anyway, she would play the role of a senior cultivator, it was very normal to be mysterious.
Right after Gu Ning asked Jing Yunyao about that, she suddenly felt it was very childish, but it was too late to take her words back and she waited for Jing Yunyao’s reply.
Jing Yunyao remained silent for a few seconds, then said, “I’ll be there in a while.”
Jing Yunyao didn’t think it was childish to punish Jing Yunfei. Instead, she felt quite touched that Gu Ning was so considerate.
