Gu Ning wasn't an ordinary student. Once she asked for leave, she must have something important to deal with, while other students usually asked for leave for fun.
It was almost 6 pm when they were dismissed, so Gu Ning didn't go back to her dorm room to change her clothes, but left right away.
Gu Ning's car was driven back by Qiao Ya, so Gu Ning told Qiao Ya before the military training began, so Qiao Ya was already waiting for Gu Ning at the gate of the school.
Once Gu Ning walked out of the school, she got in her car and left.
She didn't want to keep Leng Shaoting and the others waiting for her for too long, so she drove very fast along the way. Unfortunately, there was still a traffic jam for a long time, so it was already 7 pm when they arrived at the siheyuan.
When Gu Ning arrived at the siheyuan, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. Normally, Leng Shaoting and Jing Yunyao were both here at this time, but she couldn't sense any magical power. What was going on?
Gu Ning didn't walk inside right away, but used her Jade Eyes to see what was going on.
When she used her Jade Eyes to see the living room, she saw Shangguan Yang, Leng Shaoting and Jing Yunyao were all there. At the same time, Shanghai Yang and Jing Yunyao turned to look at her. It was obvious that they found out that someone was peeping on them.
They felt that someone was peeping on them, but they didn't have Jade Eyes, so they couldn't see who was peeping on them.
Leng Shaoting, who was at a lower level, didn't feel it, because Gu Ning only gave them a glance to make sure that they were there, then withdrew her Jade Eyes.
Although they didn't see who was peeping on them, Shangguan Yang knew that it was Gu Ning. He guessed that Gu Ning must have noticed that something was wrong with the siheyuan after she came here, so she used her Jade Eyes to see what was going on.
"What's wrong?" Although Leng Shaoting didn't feel that someone was spying on them, he could tell something was wrong from the reactions of Shangguan Yang and Jing Yunyao.
"It's nothing. The girl is just here," Shangguan Yang said.
Jing Yunyao was a little surprised, not because Shangguan Yang knew who was coming, but because it was Gu Ning. How did she do it? How could she spy on them from so far away?
Although she was surprised, she didn't ask further about it. She didn't know that Gu Ning had Jade Eyes, but she believed that Gu Ning had a special ability.
Soon, Gu Ning came in.
Before they walked in, Gu Ning told Qiao Ya to leave, because it wasn't appropriate for her to dine with them, but she left the car in the siheyuan. She would drive it to her school later.
However, the moment Gu Ning walked in, she felt the magical power floating in the siheyuan, which surprised Gu Ning.
Shangguan Yang and the others were talking and waiting for her in the living room. They hadn't started eating yet, even though Gu Ning had called Leng Shaoting on the way and told them not to wait for her.
However, they insisted on waiting for Gu Ning. After all, it wasn't easy for them to have a meal together.
The moment Gu Ning walked in, she met Leng Shaoting's eyes. Leng Shaoting looked at her with a burning desire, because he didn't want others to notice it, so Leng Shaoting suppressed it.
A touch of longing flashed through Gu Ning's eyes, but she soon calmed down. Although everyone saw it, they didn't think it was inappropriate.
They were lovers after all. They hadn't seen each other for many days, so it was normal for them to miss each other.
"Hi, Grandpa Shangguan, Mrs. Shangguan," Gu Ning greeted them.
"Nice to meet you, have a seat!" Shangguan Yang said.
Gu Ning sat down and told Lao Zhang to serve the dishes.
They knew that Gu Ning wouldn't come until 6 pm, so it would be 7 pm when she arrived, so they told Lao Zhang to cook a little later today, so the dishes were all hot.
However, it was a hot day, so it was fine to eat cold food.
Everyone was eating and chatting.
"Grandpa Shangguan, why didn't I feel the air of a cultivator when I came outside? Why did I feel the magical power floating after I walked in? "Gu Ning asked.
"I set up a Spirit-gathering Formation and a Spirit-locking Formation here, because the imperial palace is across the river outside the siheyuan. The imperial palace is where the emperors of the past lived, and all the emperors have the dragon's breath. Although there are no emperors now, the dragon's breath still exists, but it's a little weak. Therefore, I set up a formation to attract the dragon's breath and set up a Spirit-locking Formation so that the magical power in the siheyuan won't leak out. Even if there are cultivators outside, they won't be able to feel the air of a cultivator or the magical power inside, unless they are at a higher level than me, "Shangguan Yang said.
"Oh, I see!" Gu Ning understood.
After that, they stopped talking about it.
Leng Shaoting and the others would take a private plane to City Ge this time, which would save them a lot of time and allow them to come back at any time.
Gu Ning wanted to go with them, but she had to attend the military training.
Although she could ask for leave, she didn't think it was appropriate.
During these days, she didn't learn how to connect the magical power in her soul to her body, because there was a cultivator living next door. She was worried that the cultivator might discover it.
Although Shangguan Yang told her that she had the Blood of the Phoenix in her body, even a cultivator couldn't discover the changes in her body, she still had to be careful.
Besides, it was taboo to be disturbed during cultivation, so she needed a quiet and safe place. Therefore, even if Baili Zongxue wasn't here, the dormitory wasn't a suitable place for cultivation.
Therefore, Gu Ning could only put her cultivation aside for the time being. When she was free, she would go to a quiet and safe place to cultivate.
After the meal, Shangguan Yang called Gu Ning to his study alone.
"You told me not to tell him, so I didn't tell him. It's not suitable for you to cultivate in school, so this is the best place for you to cultivate without being discovered," Shangguan Yang said.
"Grandpa Shangguan, did you specially arrange this for me?" Hearing that, Gu Ning was moved.
"Yes, but it's not suitable either. When he comes back in the future, it's better for him to live here so that he won't be discovered easily. After all, most cultivators are active in the capital," Shangguan Yang said.
Although it wasn't all because of her, Gu Ning was still moved, because Leng Shaoting's business was as important as hers.
"The Blood of the Phoenix is a source of magical power, and the magical power in it is endless, so the magical power outside is dispensable for you. You don't need to worry about it," Shangguan Yang said.
"Sure, Grandpa Shangguan," Gu Ning said.
Shangguan Yang simply told Gu Ning that. During these days when he was absent, there would be no one else in the siheyuan. Stone and Lao Zhang were both on leave.
Therefore, this was the best place for Gu Ning to cultivate.
