Bai Ning was summoned, and he had expected it.
It's unlikely that everything will be calm when he comes back, at least there will still be simple questions.
Bai Ning and Gu Wushuang followed the summoned disciples all the way to a courtyard - Tingzhuxuan.
As the owner's unique courtyard, it is not very big, but it does have a small bamboo forest.
This is where the name Tingzhuxuan comes from.
At this time, the old man was sitting cross-legged on a stone bench in the small bamboo forest, with a tea set placed on the stone table.
The old man Bai Yicang quietly drank tea.
With the arrival of Bai Ning and others, the old man looked here.
"Wushuang girl, Xiao Ning, come and sit." Bai Yicang greeted Bai Ning and Bai Ning.
Bai Yicang is a strong man from the older generation. He is the same generation as Gu Wushuang's grandfather Gu Jinhan. It is not offensive to call him 'Wushuang girl'.
But last time, Liu Hanxing was there, so he just said a few polite words.
"Master Bai." Gu Wushuang saluted respectfully.
She still had to have the etiquette that she should have at this time, after all, the person in front of her was a person of his grandfather's generation.
"Everyone, please sit down." Bai Yicang greeted.
Gu Wushuang sat down casually, but Bai Ning didn't, as if he was losing his temper.
It's not that Bai Ning is unwilling, but there is always some grudge in his heart. He only feels that the old man in front of him is actually a stranger, but he is indeed a close relative. His feelings for him are very complicated.
Bai Yicang didn't say much when he saw this.
Facing Gu Wushuang, he said, "How is your grandpa lately?"
"Grandpa is doing very well recently. Thank you, Master Bai, for your concern." Gu Wushuang replied pertinently.
Bai Yicang smiled and said, "Thanks to the City Lord's Mansion for taking care of Xiao Ning during this period."
Gu Wushuang was not surprised at all that Bai Yicang knew that Bai Ning was in the City Lord's Mansion, and responded calmly: "Master Bai is so polite. Speaking of which, we are all taking advantage of Bai Ning."
Hearing this, Bai Yicang was slightly surprised and said, "Oh? It seems that Xiao Ning must have helped the distinguished guests in the City Lord's Mansion?"
Bai Yicang smiled half-heartedly, as if he knew everything.
Gu Wushuang and Bai Ning stared at each other. Did he know something?
"Don't be so nervous. I've been to the county town a few years ago and I know some people."
Bai Yicang didn't point it out directly, but at the same time it seemed to indicate that he knew who the distinguished guest of the City Lord's Mansion was some time ago!
"Please don't make any noise, Master Bai. This matter is not a trivial matter, it is of great concern." Gu Wushuang said solemnly.
Bai Yicang waved his hand and said no more.
Gu Wushuang took a deep look at Bai Yicang who was drinking tea.
The old man in front of me is not simple!
It seems that many things in Qingfeng City cannot escape his eyes!
"Please, girl, please help me take care of my grandson. He has experienced things that are unbearable for ordinary people since he was a child, and I didn't take care of him, so he has always been a little dissatisfied with me." Bai Yicang continued, but It's because he didn't look at Bai Ning.
Gu Wushuang nodded, it was not yet certain who would take care of whom.
Then, Bai Yicang turned to look at Bai Ning.
He slowly said: "You are still like this, with the same stubborn temper as your father. Even if you suffer great grievances, you never want to say another word, and you have never even complained to me in person."
Bai Ning glanced at him, but said nothing, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Is complaining useful? After more than ten years of humiliation, can you avoid being bullied just by complaining?
"I won't say much else. I just want to ask you, has your fighting spirit reappeared?"
Bai Yicang's pair of deep eyes stared intently at Bai Ning's eyes. The moment the two looked at each other, Bai Ning's eyes seemed to flash with a hint of panic.
For a long time, Bai Ning still didn't answer.
"Okay, I know the result. Let's go." Bai Yicang waved his hand, already getting the answer in his heart.
He knew Bai Ning so well that not saying anything was already better than any other answer.
Bai Ning may think that he has never paid attention to him or cared about him.
But Bai Ning never knew that during the eighteen years he grew up, there was always an old man silently watching over him.
So much so that in the past eighteen years, even though he had no cultivation, he had been holding the position of a young master.
The old man hopes that one day, a miracle will happen to his grandson, which will shock the world.
It was the same eighteen years of careful attention that brought Bai Ning peace and stability in the past eighteen years.
So what if he had a grudge?
If Bai Ning really has no hope of rising, then he must endure this. After all, the old man cannot protect him for his whole life.
The insults Bai Ning suffered will add bricks and tiles to his ordinary life and protect him from being blown away by the rain and wind.
So the old man has been paying attention to him silently. Although he has never paid direct attention to him, the old man's thoughts are actually always there!
There is actually no special reason for doing all this, except that Bai Ning is his grandson! The son of his son Bai Zishang!
The old man did not believe that his descendants, born from the son of a dragon and a phoenix among men, would be mediocre.
Fortunately, it didn't come too late. He got the answer today, and it wasn't too late!
"etc!"
Just when Bai Ning and Bai Ning were about to step out of the courtyard, the old man shouted.
Bai Ning and Bai Ning paused, not even turning their heads, but just listened quietly.
"Can you spare his life? He is just a child who has gone astray."
Bai Ning's pupils suddenly shrank! My heart trembles! He knows all this! ?
Stopped at the door for a long time.
Then he said as if he had lost his soul, "I will give him a chance!"
After hearing this, the old man squeezed out a smile of relief on his wrinkled face and lowered his head to sip the tea.
...
Bai Ning walked on the street in a daze, like a child who had lost his soul along the way.
Gu Wushuang wisely did not speak, and walked around aimlessly with Bai Ning.
The old man's face appeared in Bai Ning's mind, his eyes red.
It turns out that I have never been an abandoned child. There is always someone following me, a pair of invisible big hands, always supporting me behind me.
The old man has always paid attention to himself and never alienated himself.
It was him who took the initiative to stay away from the old man after being isolated by the people next to him.
At that time, when I was in despair due to poisoning, there was actually an old man beside me who was watching me all the time!
But when the old man realized that his life was safe, he didn't show up.
The scenes of him practicing in the house fell into the eyes of the old man, but the old man did not disturb him.
Unknowingly, the two of them arrived at Qingfeng Lake.
Bai Ning sat blankly by the lake, just in a daze.
Gu Wushuang stayed aside and guarded Bai Ning.
It seemed that she felt some empathy, and she could probably understand Bai Ning's feelings.
That kind of trance-like feeling when you suddenly realize that something you thought you had lost for a long time is actually by your side all along.
Bai Ning closed his eyes unconsciously, with tears on his face.
Then, Qi and blood circulate naturally in Bai Ning's body!
Bai Ning exudes a unique wave, as if stirring the aura of heaven and earth!
"boom!"
A strong aura spread out from Bai Ning's body.
"Ninth level of body refining!"
He broke through!
Gu Wushuang was extremely shocked. Can this be a breakthrough? Passive breakthrough?
But it's not over yet!
Gu Wushuang suddenly felt that a wave of waves was gathering with Bai Ning as the center.
Gu Wushuang was already very familiar with this feeling. It was the aura of heaven and earth!
Gu Wushuang was speechless.
"How is this possible? What kind of monster is he...?"
Gu Wushuang was stunned, his small mouth opened as if he could fit a fist into it.
Yes, Bai Ning has already sensed the existence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with his ninth level of body training!
The Spirit-Restraining True Qi Technique in the body operates automatically!
Attracting and gathering all the spiritual energy from around Qingfeng Lake, it seems to form a tornado of spiritual energy from heaven and earth!
And Bai Ning is at the center of the eye of the storm!
There seems to be a silver eye emerging between heaven and earth! Like the master of heaven and earth!
Gu Wushuang's mouth formed an 'O' shape.
"Is this still a person?"
She was already numb, and a sense of powerlessness emerged from the bottom of her heart.
How could he be born in the same era as such a monster? Are you going to let people live?
Gu Wushuang struggled to sense the aura of heaven and earth, but he could only get the feeling of getting started.
But this guy is really good. After being sad, he breaks through on the spot, uses the cultivation level of the ninth level of body refining to sense the aura of heaven and earth, and attracts such a strange phenomenon from heaven and earth!
Even ordinary Tongxuan realm martial arts cultivators cannot achieve Bai Ning's momentum.
How can one live like this? How can you compare with him? Go home and have the baby.
Fortunately, the vision of heaven and earth did not last long and dispersed quietly without attracting too much attention.
Bai Ning slowly opened his eyes and smiled, his mood clear.
"Thank you, City Lord Gu." Bai Ning looked at Gu Wushuang and said with a faint smile.
Gu Wushuang woke up, rolled her eyes at him, and said, "Come on! Don't do this stupid thing to me."
"What kind of monster are you?" Gu Wushuang grabbed Bai Ning's hands and looked at them hard.
"You're a monster." Bai Ning threw away his hands and rolled his eyes at him.
"Let's go! Go back to the city lord's mansion to prepare medicine!"
...
