Chapter 2035 Hi, Senior Shaoting Once Jing Jining was out and his phone could receive signals, he found missed calls and messages from Jing Yunyao, so he replied to her message right away. Because he felt someone was spying on him, he couldn't make a call or the secret would be exposed as soon as he spoke. Jing Jining: When Tiandaozong investigated Yin Shixun's death, they found out that Yin Shixun had met me before he died, but they don't have evidence to prove that his death has something to do with me. I'm safe now, but I believe Tiandaozong must have arranged for someone to spy on me, so I can't call you. Send me messages if anything is up. The second he sent the message, Jing Yunyao noticed it. Knowing that Jing Jining was fine, she felt relieved. Afterwards, she shared the news with Gu Ning so she was relieved too. Gu Ning arrived at her company later, but sensed no cultivators around the building, so she didn't bother to pay much attention to it. Up on the 17th floor, she saw K and Chen Cangyi. K reported the latest information about Kato Toya and Kuraki Akemi to Gu Ning first because Gu Ning told him to pay special attention to them. Kato Toya and Kuraki Akemi couldn't get any useful information recently, but they didn't tell any other people just because they couldn't move now. During this week, Kato Toya and Kuraki Akemi stayed in the hospital. They had met no strange people, but Gu Ning had no idea whether they had contacted their people with their phones. She didn't care much about it. If she wanted to know the exact situation of Kato Toya and Kuraki Akemi, she would directly order Gao Yi and Qiao Ya to spy on them in the hospital. After that, Gu Ning talked with Chen Cangyi about the news conference for the establishment of her business group. They decided to hold it in 3 days to officially announce that the Shengning Organization was formally established. Within these 3 days, Gu Ning would invite her relatives and friends to come. She planned to deliver an invitation letter to her relatives and friends in the capital and calling to invite those out of the capital. She undoubtedly called her own grandfather and father first. Normally, the Tang family would send a representative to attend the news conference, but this time was different. It was Gu Ning's business group after all and she was a member of the Tang family, so they attached great importance to it. Therefore, Tang Haifeng and Tang Yunfan decided to attend it in person. Unfortunately, because Gu Man was pregnant and it wasn't convenient for her to move around, she couldn't go. And because of Tang Yunhang's position in the government, he couldn't show up either. Gu Man also needed someone to take care of her, so Jiang Lihua stayed with her. Otherwise, the whole Tang family would show up to support Gu Ning. Although Gu Man was independent, the Tang family cared about her a lot, so they didn't allow her to go even if her body was fine. Gu Ning also shared the news with Situ Ye, Qi Tianlin, and many other people who had a good relationship with her. She called them, but wouldn't demand their presence. They were her friends after all, so she needed to invite them, or they might be unhappy and blame her for forgetting them. Leng Shaoting originally had to go back to the military base the day after tomorrow, but he decided to stay once he learned that Gu Ning's business group would be officially established in 3 days. If his teammates needed him, Xu Jinchen would call him. Because Zi Beiying knew that Gu Ning was back, she called her and invited her to go out and share a meal, but Gu Ning refused. She needed to visit Master Leng at the Leng family's place since she was back in the capital. She could only dine with Zi Beiying tomorrow. She was free tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. So since she said that, Zi Beiying wouldn't force her to go out. Zi Beiying didn't tell Gu Ning that she was Xu Jinchen's girlfriend now because she didn't know how to say that aloud. The Xu family was aware of her romantic relationship with Xu Jinchen, but it was Xu Jinlin, instead of Xu Jinchen, who told them. After knowing that Xu Jinchen successfully won Zi Beiying's heart, the Xu family felt happy for him and urged him to bring Zi Beiying home. Xu Jinchen declined because Zi Beiying was unwilling to do that. It was too early to do that after all. Therefore, the Xu family gave up. Xu Jinchen was afraid that they might bother Zi Beiying after he left, so he warned them not to annoy Zi Beiying. If Zi Beiying was mad at him and broke up with him, he would blame them for everything. It wasn't easy for Xu Jinchen to get a girlfriend, so they definitely wouldn't go to bother Zi Beiying in case their romantic relationship was affected. … In the afternoon, Gu Ning and the others went to the Leng family's old house. However, Shangguan Yang was reluctant to go out, so he stayed alone in siheyuan. Because it was a weekend, most members of the Leng family were present, but Jiang Shuyuan was absent. She stayed in the hospital to take care of Leng Shaojia. Leng Shaojia would leave the hospital in a few days. She was much better now and became gentle. Although she still hated Gu Ning, she wouldn't dare to challenge Gu Ning again if they met. Gu Ning and the others had dinner in the Leng family's house before leaving at 9 pm to head back to the siheyuan. In the siheyuan, Shangguan Yang was still enjoying his tea in the yard. Seeing Gu Ning, he suddenly said seriously, "Ningning, are you willing to call me master as Shaoting did?" Shangguan Yang always had the idea that he would love to accept Gu Ning as his apprentice if Gu Ning could become a cultivator. He appreciated Gu Ning very much from the very beginning. So now that Gu Ning became a cultivator, he thought he could ask Gu Ning for her opinion. "Of course." Gu Ning beamed. Without hesitation, she took a cup of tea and knelt down before Shangguan Yang. She lifted the teacup with both of her hands, then handed it to Shangguan Yang. "Please, master." "Great, great." Shangguan Yang was happy to see that Gu Ning was willing to be his apprentice. He took the teacup from Gu Ning's hands and drank the tea in it. Afterwards, Shangguan Yang took out a few books of secret skills and gave them to Gu Ning. "Because you have the ancient Blood of the Phoenix and you don't need my magical pills or Qiankun Bag, I can give you these books of secret skills." "Thank you, master!" Gu Ning took them and thanked Shangguan Yang. As Shangguan Yang said, Gu Ning didn't need magical pills or a Qiankun Bag because she already had the ancient Blood of the Phoenix. She wasn't displeased at all that Shangguan Yang didn't give those to her. "Get up now," said Shangguan Yang. Gu Ning listened to him and stood up. After that, she turned to look at Leng Shaoting and called him, "Hi, Senior Shaoting." "Hi, Junior Ning." Leng Shaoting replied to her with a smile. He agreed it was a good idea that Shangguan Yang accepted Gu Ning as an apprentice, so did Jing Yunyao. … In the afternoon the next day, Gu Ning went to dine with Zi Beiying. Leng Shaoting was by her side. Because Zi Beiying missed the taste of roasted duck, they went to have it together. This time, they went to the famous roasted duck restaurant in XX alley on East Street in the eastern district.
