Although it was very late now, Leng Shaoting didn't go to bed because he was waiting for Gu Ning's call.
They had only been apart for half a day, but Leng Shaoting missed Gu Ning very much. He wanted to talk to her and listen to her voice.
Knowing that Gu Ning was driving, Leng Shaoting didn't chat with Gu Ning too much. He didn't want to disturb her while she was driving.
Gu Ning took a shower and went to bed once she was back in Century City.
The next day, it was raining, so Gu Ning didn't run in the morning. She also called Qiao Ya and told her not to make breakfast.
Therefore, Qiao Ya didn't make breakfast either. When it was almost time, she went out with Gu Ning and finished breakfast on the way to the company.
In the morning, Gu Ning spent her time reading books, so she didn't need to deal with anything.
At noon, Gu Ning called Shangguan Yang and asked him whether he felt uncomfortable living here and if he needed anything.
Leng Shaoting already arranged Stone to manage Shangguan Yang's life and gave him a bank card with a huge amount of money as Shanghai Yang's living expenses. Shangguan Yang only needed to tell Stone what he needed.
However, they had just met each other, so Gu Ning was worried that Shangguan Yang was too shy to ask for help.
Since Leng Shaoting wasn't here, Gu Ning naturally took care of Shanghai Yang for him.
Luckily, Shanghai Yang was very adaptable, so he didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, there were many new things waiting for him to explore.
Gu Ning told Shanghai Yang that she would visit him in the afternoon.
After hanging up the call, Gu Ning suddenly had a heavy heart.
Gu Ning didn't just want to visit Shanghai Yang, but also wanted to ask him something. She was afraid that she wouldn't get a good result.
She spent the afternoon reading books and didn't do anything else.
At 5 pm, Gu Ning drove to the siheyuan and told Qiao Ya to go back by herself.
Because there was a traffic jam on the road, it was already 10 minutes past 6 pm when Gu Ning arrived at the siheyuan. Lao Zhang had already prepared the dishes, but Shangguan Yang didn't rush to eat. He waited for Gu Ning to join them.
Although Shangguan Yang wasn't bored, he was still happy that Gu Ning came to visit him.
To be honest, Gu Ning felt that she was full very quickly after eating with Shangguan Yang. Because when she saw Shangguan Yang wolfing down the food like a hungry ghost, she had a feeling that the food was going into her stomach.
Other people quenched their thirst by looking at plum blossoms, but she quenched her hunger by looking at Shangguan Yang.
After Gu Ning arrived, she dined with Shangguan Yang.
Shangguan Yang was still a big eater. He could eat as much as five or six people at a time.
Lao Zhang and Stone also dined in the siheyuan, but they ate casually in the kitchen instead of eating at the same table with Shangguan Yang.
Leng Shaoting didn't treat them unfairly. He not only gave them a generous salary, but also provided them with free food. They could eat whatever they liked as long as they tried their best.
After the meal, Shangguan Yang asked Gu Ning to practice the two sets of moves he taught her yesterday.
Although Gu Ning had already practiced them yesterday, he still wanted to see whether Gu Ning could still remember them completely after a day.
However, Gu Ning really remembered them completely, although she didn't practice them in the middle.
Gu Ning had a photographic memory. If she could forget them so easily, she couldn't be called a photographic memory. Of course not.
Of course, Gu Ning only remembered the moves and practiced them. In addition, there were still some skills that Gu Ning didn't understand yet. What kind of speed and strength was required for each move? These were also things that needed to be paid particular attention to.
Not all moves required brute force. Some needed to be flexible and light.
Therefore, Shangguan Yang taught Gu Ning what kind of moves she should use, what kind of speed and what kind of strength.
After Shangguan Yang reminded her once, Gu Ning remembered them. Shangguan Yang nodded with satisfaction. "Not bad, not bad at all."
However, it was one thing to remember them, while it was another thing to use them properly, so Gu Ning needed to practice them over and over again.
After practicing for a few times, Gu Ning stopped. She looked at Shangguan Yang who was sitting in the rocking chair with his legs crossed and eating sunflower seeds. "Grandpa Shangguan, I have something to ask you."
"What is it? Go ahead, "Shangguan Yang said.
"Can a mortal be a cultivator?" Gu Ning asked with a serious expression all of a sudden.
Hearing that, Shangguan Yang was struck dumb for a second, then squinted at her. "Why do you ask that? Do you want to be a cultivator? "
Although Shangguan Yang knew it clearly, he still pretended not to know.
"Yes, I want to be a cultivator, because Shao Ting is a cultivator. Once he improves his level, he can live longer. However, as a mortal, I can only live for dozens of years. If that's the case, we can't be together. I want to be with Shao Ting, so I want to be a cultivator too, "Gu Ning said.
"Do you want to be a cultivator for him?" Shangguan Yang asked.
"You're right," Gu Ning said with determination.
Shangguan Yang was silent for a while before he said, "Actually! The boy asked me the same question before. "
"What? Shao Ting asked you the same question before? " Hearing that, Gu Ning was surprised. She didn't expect that Leng Shaoting had already asked her the same question, but Leng Shaoting didn't tell her.
Thinking of that, Gu Ning realized that the result wasn't good. Otherwise, Leng Shaoting wouldn't have told her.
"Right," Shangguan Yang said. He hesitated for a second, then told Gu Ning what he had told Leng Shaoting before. "It's possible for a mortal to be a cultivator, but it's very dangerous. It requires a strong willpower. If you can survive, you'll succeed, but if you fail, you'll die. Therefore, mortals generally don't cultivate easily. Because almost everyone in the cultivation world has a magical root, it's easier for people with magical roots to cultivate. Mortals, on the other hand, have no magical root, so they have to undergo bone and marrow cleansing to get rid of the impurities in their bodies and dredge their meridians. It's a hellish process. Of course, if a person with a magical root is mediocre, he or she also needs to undergo bone and marrow cleansing. However, with a magical root, it's less dangerous and has a higher chance of success, but there are still many who fail. Besides, no one else can help you, so you can only rely on yourself. "
Hearing that, Gu Ning understood that Leng Shaoting wouldn't tell her the reason why he had asked Shangguan Yang about it. He was afraid that she couldn't survive, so he didn't dare to take the risk.
Let alone Leng Shaoting, even Gu Ning hesitated a little after hearing that.
