"Boss, we … we've lost him."
In the office of the small building of Fantastic Stones Shop, two young men bowed their heads in fear and murmured.
"Nonsense! If you can lose a person, what's the use of keeping you?"
Nie Fan flew into a rage, slapped the table, and roared. His two subordinates were so scared that they trembled all over. They knew how cruel the boss's means were.
Master Mo regained his previous calm look, waved his hand, and said, "You can leave."
"Thank you, thank you!"
The two subordinates escaped from death, rolling and crawling out as if they had been pardoned.
Nie Er frowned. "Senior brother, what should we do if we lose him? How can we explain to the hierarch when he comes? "
"Don't worry, he can't run away. I've already inquired about him. His name is Ding Ning, and he can't run away."
Master Mo's eyes flashed, and he said calmly.
"Senior brother, you're brilliant!"
Nie Fan was overjoyed and hurriedly flattered him with a flattering smile.
Master Mo's face suddenly changed. "Why did he come back?"
"Could it be that he found us following him and came to settle accounts with us?"
Nie Fan's face turned pale and he said with some fear.
Zhai Fang was much more powerful than him, but he could be forced to use the curse of life by Ding Ning. He did not want to die in Ding Ning's hands in order to avenge him.
Master Mo's courage was not much greater than Nie Fan's. He trembled all over and wanted to run away, but he pretended to be calm and said, "I don't think so."
Nie Fan did not notice that his voice had trembled slightly. He paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pan and asked in a daze, "What should we do? What should we do? "
"Don't be nervous. He didn't come for us. He went to the material yard."
Master Mo's face lit up and he breathed a long sigh of relief. The Gu in his body told him that Ding Ning didn't come in this direction.
But then he was full of doubts. "Since Ding Ning didn't come for us, why did he come here?"
"Junior brother, send someone to keep an eye on what that guy is going to do."
"Okay, senior brother."
Nie Fan also sensed that Ding Ning didn't come for them, so he immediately breathed a long sigh of relief. He calmed himself down and arranged his subordinates to keep an eye on Ding Ning.
But soon, his subordinates came back to report that they didn't see Ding Ning. They had seen Ding Ning when they were with Master Mo before.
The two brothers looked at each other in dismay. Impossible? The Gu clearly sensed that he was in the material yard, but why did his subordinates say that they did not see him?
Their subordinates would never dare to deceive them. This made Great Master Mo and his fellow apprentices panic. Could it be that this guy could turn invisible?
Master Mo pondered for a moment and said, "Junior Brother, go and take a look."
"But … I …"
Nie Fan trembled all over. He was so scared that he wanted to decline. He did not want to be in close contact with that killer.
Master Mo gave a wry smile and said, "He has seen me, but not you. What are you afraid of?"
"Alright, I'll go take a look."
Nie Fan thought about it and agreed. He plucked up his courage and agreed.
In the raw materials yard, Ding Ning picked out the raw materials that he liked in advance and asked the workers to load the cars and send them to Shengshi Huating Court.
He looked at Nie Fan strangely. He didn't know why this man was hanging around him and staring at him. Did he want to murder him for his money?
However, Nie Fan was confused at this moment and did not know what was going on. The curse of life was clearly on Ding Ning, but how could he also sense it on the bearded man?
Could the Curse of Life be cast on two people at the same time? He had never heard of it.
This guy must be in cahoots with Ding Ning. When Zhai Fang was killed, both of them were there, so both of them had the breath of the curse.
Being stared at by Ding Ning, Nie Fan felt scared. Fearing that he would be killed by Ding Ning after being found out, he did not dare to follow Ding Ning and pretended to pick raw materials to stay away from him.
"Boss!"
"Boss!"
Several workers of the Stone-gambling House greeted Nie Fan respectfully when they saw him, but Nie Fan was so scared that he broke into a cold sweat. He responded with a straight face and turned to leave quickly.
Ding Ning looked at his back and frowned. "It turns out that this guy is the new boss of Fantastic Stones Shop." He did not think much about it. After picking raw stones, he paid the money and swaggered away.
"Where did this man send the raw materials he bought just now?"
As soon as Ding Ning left, Nie Fan appeared again and asked the delivery worker.
"Boss, the address is Villa No. 1 in Shengshi Huating Court."
Although the delivery worker felt very strange, he would not hide it since the boss asked.
"Okay, I got it."
Nie Fan's eyes flashed. He nodded and turned to leave.
After eating and drinking, Ding Ning stretched himself comfortably. "Luoxue, how is the preparation of the restaurant going?"
"It's almost ready. I'm making the menu. When the kitchen equipment that my sister promised me is in place, we can open for business."
Luoxue's face was full of a happy smile. She answered while writing the menu.
Ding Ning said with some distress, "Is it too tiring to open a restaurant?"
"No, I like to cook. I like it when everyone eats the food I cook. I feel a special sense of accomplishment. These two days, I opened a small kitchen next to Uncle Ling's office and cooked for the people in the company. They all said it was delicious." "That's right.
Luoxue's face glowed with the joy of being recognized.
"It seems that Luoxue really likes cooking." Ding Ning showed a helpless smile and adored her. "I don't lack money. I'm just afraid that you will be bored, so I find something for you to do. If you are happy, open the door. If you are not happy, close the door. Don't tire yourself out, okay?"
"I know. I don't want to close the door casually. I want to have my own business and help my brother make a lot of money."
Ding Luoxue knew that Ding Ning cared about her. She smiled sweetly and waved her little fist, expressing her stance with high fighting spirit.
Ding Ning felt funny and rubbed her head. He had never expected to open a restaurant to make money. He just wanted Luoxue to find something to do and integrate into society as soon as possible.
Otherwise, he would not open a restaurant on the top of the company building. After all, a restaurant on the top of an office building was already very limited. It was destined that it could not become bigger and stronger.
No matter what, as long as Luoxue was happy, he could afford to lose even if he did not earn a penny.
"Brother, what do you think about the name of the restaurant being Sky Pavilion?"
Luoxue's eyes lit up and she looked at him expectantly.
"Okay, you have the right to name your restaurant. I don't have the talent to name it."
Ding Ning said self-mockingly. Looking at the names of the pets with intelligence, such as Dahei and Xiaohei, there was no technical content at all. He knew himself very well.
"Hehe, then let's call it Pavilion in the Air. Tomorrow, I will ask Uncle Ling to register it for me."
Luoxue's big eyes curved into crescent moons, shining with longing.
Ding Ning did not expect that Pavilion in the Air, the first international restaurant chain that would be popular all over the world in a few years, would be born in this way in a few joking words.
Pavilion in the Air was always only opened on the top platform of the high-rise Da Xia. With its unique and mouth-watering delicacies, it occupied the top of the pyramid of the food and beverage industry. Like a proud queen, it overlooked the masses of people under her feet and became the first super restaurant in the world that had the confidence to refuse Michelin's star award.
Chairman Ding Luoxue, who was then the chairman of the board of directors of Pavilion in the Air, said disdainfully, "We are a restaurant in Shenzhou Country. Whether it is the environment, service, hygiene, or delicious food, we have exceeded the limits of Michelin's imagination. No one is qualified to give stars to Pavilion in the Air. We are a super restaurant that has surpassed the category of stars."
As soon as these words came out, the whole world was in an uproar, but no one thought what she said was arrogant. Instead, they thought what she said was very reasonable. This was the confidence of Pavilion in the Air.
After all, even the most famous, top-notch, and authoritative food critic in the world could not resist the temptation of Pavilion in the Air. He had been eating it for decades and was the most loyal customer of Pavilion in the Air.
These were all stories in the future, so let's not mention them for the time being.
In the Shengshi Huating District, in a low-key Buick Regal, Master Mo and Nie Fan were staring at the delivery truck of Fantastic Stones Shop driving into the No. 1 villa.
"Senior Brother, I can't understand why Ding Ning and that bearded man have the mark of the curse of life on them."
Nie Fan was still confused and couldn't figure out what was going on.
Master Mo was puzzled and said, "As far as I know, the curse of life can only be put on one person. How can it appear on two people? This is too strange."
"Is it possible that Ding Ning and that bearded man killed Zhai Fang together, so that his curse of life was spread on two people?"
Nie Fan carefully voiced out his speculation.
"It's also possible. The curse of life is originally an incomplete forbidden skill handed down from ancient times, and no one knows what effect it will have."
Master Mo scratched his head in distress. "It's said that the complete version of the curse of life is that when the spellcaster encounters an enemy he can't resist, he will sacrifice his soul to the Demon Lord and leave a mark on the enemy with the fluctuation of his life. The Demon Lord will come through the space-time gate and harvest the enemy's soul by following the mark of life."
"The Demon Lord? What era is it? How can there be the Demon Lord? This is too unreal, isn't it? "
Nie Fan snorted at Master Mo's words, curled his lips, and said disapprovingly.
"Who knows? This is a legend, and even the curse of life is an incomplete version. I guess no one knows what effect the curse of life will have except for the cursed one. Zhai Fang, an outer disciple, should know the curse of life. I don't know where he learned it. This is a secret of our Demon Cult."
Master Mo shook his head with a wry smile and looked confused.
"Hey, Senior Brother, do you think Zhai Fang is the illegitimate son of our Sect Master?"
Nie Fan's imagination ran wild and he asked with a wretched face.
"Well … it's hard to say. Otherwise, how could our Sect Master come to Ninghai to avenge the death of a mere outer disciple, let alone investigate it severely."
Master Mo also nodded and said with the same feeling.
"I think it must be so. Otherwise, how could our Sect Master care so much about the life and death of an outer disciple?"
Nie Fan thought he had found the truth and said confidently.
They had left the Demon Cult for several years, so they didn't know that the nest of the Demon Cult was almost destroyed by Zhai Ying. Naturally, they didn't know that Wu Tianxie had learned through Zhai Fang's Shadow Gu that Ding Ning got the Spiritual Gu King when it was born. That was why he locked on Ninghai and ordered the disciples of the cult in Ninghai to trace Ding Ning's whereabouts.
If it weren't for the fact that Shadow Gu King had no sound function and the curse of life could only work within one kilometer from the murderer, Wu Tianxie would have come to Ninghai to find Ding Ning in person.
For Wu Tianxie, avenging Zhai Fang and giving Zhai Ying an explanation was just a side effect. What he coveted more was the Spiritual Gu King. If he got the Spiritual Gu King, his strength would advance by leaps and bounds, and he could even compete with Zhai Ying.
Although Zhai Ying seemed to be very powerful in fighting the Demon Cult, Wu Tianxie would not take him seriously if he were not afraid of the Corpse-driven Sect behind him.
