Chapter 944 The Jiao Is Out The swimming pool hadn't been used at all, so the water was still the same as it was without cleaning, but flood dragon had no requirement for the water quality, so it was fine. The flood dragon had stayed in Gu Ning's telepathic eye space for many days. Although it couldn't absorb the magical power into its body, it was covered in it and the magical power could permeate into its body. It wasn't easy for the flood dragon to practice its cultivation, and it had to go through tribulations to achieve its goal. Practicing one's cultivation was against the rules of nature, so the one that wanted to do that had to survive the heavenly tribulation. The flood dragon's aim was to become a dragon. Although it was just a step away, it was the most difficult step. It had to survive several heavenly tribulations to move that step forward! Gu Ning didn't leave after she let the flood dragon out, but talked with it about something. "Jiao, have you heard of the Evil Practice?" Gu Ning asked. "Of course yes, I've fought against members of it several hundred years ago, but I haven't seen them again since the time changed," the Jiao said. "Who won the fight?" Gu Ning asked again. "Well, I wasn't very powerful back then, but I'm confident that I can win fight against them right now," the flood dragon snorted with disdain. Even though it dodged Gu Ning's question, Gu Ning understood that the members of the Evil Practice were better than it. "I didn't believe in ghosts and monsters until I met them in person," Gu Ning said. "Don't they exist all the time?" The flood dragon had lived at the bottom of the ocean the entire time, so it believed that ghosts and monsters were always there. "Well, you're right, but there are fewer of them nowadays," Gu Ning said. She began to believe in them after witnessing them. Gu Ning told the flood dragon to hide itself well, and that it couldn't come out without her permission. After that, she went back to her room. The next day, Gu Ning put the flood dragon back in her telepathic eye space at daybreak, in case Cao Wenxin, Gao Yi or Qiao Ya found it. The flood dragon became more powerful after a whole night of practice, which made it feel excited. With the help of Gu Ning's magical power, it could soon realize its dream. … Gu Ning went for a run later in the morning. She hadn't exercised in a long time. Although she wasn't weaker than Leng Shaoting now, she still couldn't win against him in a fight. Her aim wasn't to beat Leng Shaoting, but she had to remind herself to keep exercising. Besides, members of the Evil Practice showed up, so she had to stay alert to the danger. She had a strong feeling that she would encounter them again sooner or later. … There were many people who were exercising in the morning in the living area, but most of them were aged men. Therefore, they were surprised when Gu Ning, who was a young girl, joined them. At the same time, they also complimented Gu Ning's energetic youth. However, Gu Ning attracted a middle-aged man's attention while she was running. He kept following Gu Ning for around 10 minutes before he called Gu Ning to stop, "Hi, please wait a second." He was very polite, so Gu Ning stopped to look at him. "May I help?" "Sorry to interrupt you, but is your name Gu Ning?" he asked. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂 Hearing that, Gu Ning realized that the man called her to stop because he recognized her. She was a celebrity now, so she wasn't surprised. "Yes," Gu Ning said. The middle-aged man smiled. "Well, I just thought that you looked familiar. I really admire you for what you've achieved at such an early age!" He wasn't flattering Gu Ning, but told the truth. "Thanks," Gu Ning said politely. "Um, it seems that you're staying in City B now. Have you transferred to a school here?" the middle-aged man asked. "Not really, but I'm busy dealing with something in City B, so I don't go back to City F for classes," Gu Ning replied. The man didn't seem to be an ordinary person, so she was unwilling to give him a perfunctory answer. People who lived in Huafu Hills were either rich or powerful after all. "Oh, I understand." The middle-aged man nodded. Gu Ning was the top student in her school, so she had the ability to make arrangements for herself. After chatting for a while, they separated. … Around 8 am, Chu Xuanfeng called Gu Ning, and asked her when he could come over. Chu Xuanfeng had arrived at City B last night, but it was very late, so he didn't call Gu Ning until this morning.
