"You're not lying to me, right?" The cultivator was confused. Although Gu Ning didn't look strange, it was possible that she could disguise herself. After all, she wasn't an ordinary person.
"Why would I lie to you?" said Gu Ning. She looked speechless, as if she was unhappy to be doubted.
"Since you don't know that person, how did he know that you know the staff of the Palace Museum?" asked the cultivator.
"I don't know you, but you know me! There are many people who know me, but I don't. You can find a lot of information about me on the Internet. " Asked Gu Ning. She then explained, "Of course, he said that he saw me contacting the staff of the Palace Museum."
Although Gu Ning's words made sense, the cultivator still didn't believe her completely. He continued to ask, "Then you should know the person's name, age, gender, and phone number, right? If you don't know, how did you contact them? "
"Hey! Why do I feel like you're interrogating a criminal? You need to know that you're asking for my help. In addition, it's very immoral to expose someone's personal information without their permission! "said Gu Ning with displeasure.
"I'm sorry. I was too impatient, so I forgot myself. Miss Gu, please don't mind," said the cultivator. Just as Gu Ning said, he was asking for her help, so he should be nicer. "The Jade with Dragon Phoenix Cloud Pattern is very important to me. I hope that you can help me. Why don't you contact the person first and talk to him about it? Let's see how he responds."
"Fine!" Said Gu Ning. In order to distract the cultivator's attention from her, Gu Ning didn't mind playing along with him.
The cultivator didn't mean any harm to her, so Gu Ning didn't need to offend him directly. In that case, she would be asking for trouble.
Gu Ning took out her phone and dialed a number. It was Tang Aining's phone number, but she couldn't get through because it was in her telepathic eye space.
"I can't get through now. There's nothing I can do about it," said Gu Ning helplessly.
The cultivator was displeased. He had heard Gu Ning saying that she couldn't get through now. Although he thought that Gu Ning might just make a random call, he didn't say it out loud.
The cultivator thought that it was possible that Gu Ning directed and put on a show by herself, so he decided to stop it for now and continue to monitor Gu Ning to see whether he could find any new clues.
Even if he wanted to use force, it wasn't the right time.
"Well, Miss Gu, can you help me keep an eye out for her? If she gets through and you get the answer, please let me know," said the cultivator, then he took out his name card and gave it to Gu Ning. "This is my name card."
"Sure." Gu Ning agreed, but she didn't know whether she would do it afterwards.
Gu Ning wasn't naive enough to think that the cultivator would believe her words completely. Maybe he was just hoping that what she said might be true, so he decided to take a step back in case there might be an unexpected result.
Even if what she said wasn't true, he could continue to follow her and make other plans after checking the situation. After all, he already knew her school and dorm, so he wasn't worried that he couldn't find her.
However, if he offended Gu Ning right now and what Gu Ning said was true, he might lose more than he gained.
Even so, Gu Ning didn't care about it, because it wouldn't change anything anyway.
"Miss Gu, do you want to go out with me now?" asked the cultivator.
"I made an appointment with my friends to explore this place, so I won't leave for the time being. Mr. Dongfang, you can go ahead by yourself," said Gu Ning.
After receiving the cultivator's name card, Gu Ning knew his name. It was Dongfang Qi.
Since his surname was Dongfang, it was very likely that he was a member of the Dongfang family in the cultivation world.
Because of Dongfang Ziyu, Gu Ning didn't have a good impression of the Dongfang family. Although Dongfang Qi treated her well, he had a purpose, so Gu Ning didn't have a good impression of him either.
However, she would try not to have a conflict with him if she could, because it wouldn't do her any good.
"Alright, I'll leave now. I'll take my leave then. I'll have to trouble Miss Gu with this matter. " Although Dongfang Qi doubted whether Gu Ning's words were true, he wouldn't question it. If he wanted to know the truth, he could secretly monitor her.
Although he was caught following Gu Ning these days, he believed that he wouldn't be discovered as long as he stayed away from her.
After that, the cultivator left.
After the cultivator walked away, Gu Ning began to observe the well. Of course, the cultivator was still within the range of her senses, which was within Gu Ning's expectation. However, as long as he didn't come over, there would be no problem.
Gu Ning walked to the well, and used her Jade Eyes to look into the well. Her sight fell on the two skeletons.
Beside the two skeletons, there were two jade pendants, and several pieces of jewelry were scattered around the head of one of the skeletons.
Judging from the shape of the skeletons, one skeleton was lying in the arms of the other skeleton. The skeleton lying in the lower part was more mature, so it was obviously a male skeleton. The skeleton lying in the arms of the male skeleton was relatively petite, and there were several pieces of jewelry scattered around its head. It was obviously a female skeleton.
Seeing that, Gu Ning guessed that they must be a pair of lovebirds who were about to die.
In addition, there was some evil spirit in the well. It was obvious that they died unjustly and unwillingly.
Gu Ning looked at the pair of skeletons. Suddenly, a picture appeared in front of her eyes.
Right next to the well, a man in a guard's uniform was stabbed by a sword, then kicked by a foot, and the guard fell into the well.
Right after that, a woman in a gorgeous Qi-style dress jumped into the well. The picture in front of her eyes also ended here.
Judging from the woman's dress, she should be a concubine.
All of a sudden, Gu Ning imagined a dramatic plot in her mind. The emperor took his concubine to the villa to avoid the summer heat, and then the concubine was discovered to have an affair with a guard. Then the guard was killed, and the concubine committed suicide for love.
Although it was just Gu Ning's imagination, she felt that it was very close to the truth.
If that was the case, then the consequences were understandable.
Of course, there could be other reasons as well, but no matter what the reason was, it had nothing to do with her. It was already history.
