When we came out of Teacher Mei's house, it was already sunset.
Originally, Teacher Mei wanted Wu Ning to stay for a meal, and his attitude was very firm. Although Wu Ning finally refused, he also said that he would definitely come to Yitang again before returning to Northern Xinjiang.
When he was at the martial arts academy, Wu Ning was not very talkative and had no sense of presence. He really didn't expect that Teacher Mei would always pay attention to him.
Wu Ning is not a promising person. Teacher Mei has taught many students, and two of them have even entered Guanlong Mountain. But now he is just a pawn in the demon-slaying army. He really didn't expect that he has any Something special and worthy of attention.
Looking at it this way, it can only be that Teacher Mei is a nicer person.
Just as he walked out of the area, a black car suddenly stopped in front of him.
The rear window glass slowly fell down.
The other party didn't say anything, but looked at Wu Ning outside seriously, pondered for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Wu Ning?"
Wu Ning looked at the other party with a serious expression.
At this time, the other party suddenly opened the car door, got out of the car, walked to the other party slowly, stretched out his hand, and smiled.
"My name is Guo Ting, I come from Shu."
"It turns out to be the head of the Guo family." Wu Ning shook hands with the other party without changing his expression, then glanced at the car next to him and said, "What's the matter? We don't seem to know each other, right?"
"I didn't know him before, but I heard that you think highly of Quanzi and hope that he can go to Northern Xinjiang, so I would like to treat you to a casual meal and thank you." Guo Ting said softly.
Wu Ning did not sense any hostility from the other party.
That's the weirdest thing.
After a brief silence, Wu Ning nodded slightly and then got into the car.
He really didn't expect that Guo Ting would come to him so openly.
Even Gu Yuan would have never imagined that the other party would move so quickly and in such a direct manner.
Just when he thought that the other party was afraid to do anything in Star City and wanted to find a remote place, he was shocked to find that the other party actually took him to a restaurant.
The owner of the restaurant seems to be very familiar with Guo Ting, and he has reserved a private room in advance. It is not meal time, but in the lobby on the first floor of the restaurant, every table is occupied, and there are many people at the door. People lined up waiting for a ticket, which showed how busy the business was.
It wasn't until he went upstairs and started ordering materials that Wu Ning realized that the other party was not joking.
This is truly a treat for yourself.
For a moment, Wu Ning's eyes changed when he looked at Guo Ting.
He is not Gu Yuan and is not good at hiding his emotions.
But at this moment, Wu Ning has already increased his vigilance.
Guo Ting came to him suddenly and in a hurry. Moreover, he had heard from Gu Yuan before that Guo Siyang had left Star City. All of this revealed Guo Ting's guilty conscience.
After knowing Wu Ning's existence, Guo Ting seemed a little uneasy, and even felt like a powerful enemy was approaching. He was also afraid of involving Guo Siyang, otherwise he would not be in a hurry to send the child back to Shu.
Wu Ning looked at the bowls and chopsticks in front of him and suddenly said: "Master Guo, I am a member of the Demon Slayer Army. I am always quick to talk to others. If you have anything on your mind, just tell me."
Guo Ting looked at the other party in surprise, as if he didn't understand what the other party said.
Then, he showed a sudden realization and said with a smile: "You misunderstood. Guo really has no other intentions. He just wants to treat you to a meal and express his gratitude."
"Oh? Northern Xinjiang is not a good place. I am going to take my son to Northern Xinjiang now. You are not in a hurry, but you still want to thank me?" Wu Ning said.
Guo Ting clapped his hands and laughed: "Do I look like that kind of unenlightened parent? Guo Siyang is not a child anymore. He has to exercise. A jade cannot be made into a weapon if it is not polished, but the edge of a sword is sharpened!"
"But the place in Northern Xinjiang is still dangerous."
"If that kid really dies there, it will be his fate." Guo Ting looked very open-minded, "When sharpening a sword, there will be a time when the sword will be broken, right?"
Wu Ning stared at Guo Ting for a while, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.
"Here, let me toast you!" Guo Ting suddenly raised his glass and said seriously.
…
at the same time.
Sword Bearer's Office.
Gu Yuan stood in front of the sand table, frowning slightly.
At this time, Zhang Chuan had already arrived behind Gu Yuan.
"Master Gu, Guo Ting and Wu Ning...have already met."
"I know." Gu Yuan nodded.
Before that, he had already locked Wu Ning's position with rose utensils.
He knows better than anyone where the other party is.
Originally, he was thinking that Guo Ting couldn't help but prepare to take action.
Until he sensed Wu Ning's current position.
It's obviously still in the downtown area, and...
It was the restaurant where he and Guo Ting had dinner together.
"They...are eating?" Gu Yuan was a little confused.
"Ahem, Master Gu, do we have to rush there as soon as possible?" Zhang Chuan said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I can get there as soon as possible." Gu Yuan smiled.
As the sword holder of Star City, with the help of the sand table, he could rush to Wu Ning's side as soon as possible.
Guo Ting is a very cautious person. If he keeps watching, Guo Ting will definitely notice.
Don't underestimate the perception of an S-level warrior.
Of course, Gu Yuan had also thought before that he could always hide in Wu Ning's shadow, but after some discussion, he found that this method would not work at all. After all, using demon energy would also continuously consume Yuan Qi in the body.
Moreover, they didn't know when Guo Ting would come to their door.
According to Zhao Yuan's understanding of Guo Ting, the other party has always been a very cautious person, so before taking action, he will definitely investigate Wu Ning first, then formulate a detailed plan, and choose the right time and place.
Planning and then deciding is in line with Guo Ting's character.
Who would have thought that Guo Ting would act so suddenly, and not long after arriving in Star City, he would already meet Wu Ning face to face.
…
In the box.
Wu Ning didn't eat much food.
After all, if you eat too much, you cannot exercise strenuously. Maybe Guo Ting will attack him in the next second, although this is not a wise choice.
Guo Ting himself seemed to have nothing on his mind. He was just feasting, telling Wu Ning stories about himself and the restaurant owner while eating.
After Wu Ning put down his chopsticks, Guo Ting finally asked.
"I've always been curious. I heard from Siyang that you asked him to go to Northern Xinjiang by name, but the strange thing is that he was very sure that he didn't know you Wu before. What's going on?"
Looking at Guo Ting's eyes narrowed, Wu Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
What was supposed to come, finally came.
He had long thought that Guo Ting would be curious about this question and had already prepared an answer for him. However, at this moment, he still thought about it for a while before saying: "Master Guo doesn't know something. In fact, this time we come to Star City, I want to use the Star City Martial Arts Academy to select some outstanding students and bring them to Northern Xinjiang."
Guo Ting nodded slightly.
With his status and identity, it is not difficult to find out this information.
As soon as Wu Ning opened his mouth to know, he already knew.
Therefore, at this moment, he did not interrupt the other party, but waited for the other party to continue.
"Actually, originally, I wanted to bring Gu Yuan to Northern Xinjiang, but at the end, I realized that Gu Yuan had become the sword bearer of Star City. It was already impossible for him to go to Northern Xinjiang at this time. Si Lai If you want to go, you can only let Guo Siyang and me go.
After all, Guo Siyang is a student of Commander Zhong. After arriving in Northern Xinjiang, he can also inspire the soldiers of the Demon Slayer Army. Moreover, after we came to Star City this time, we found that the situation was not ideal. There were very few students who were really willing to go to Northern Xinjiang. There are only a few, so at this time, one person is needed to lead them and play the role of leader. "
"So, you chose Quanzi?" Guo Ting said with a smile.
"Does Patriarch Guo think that Guo Siyang is not a good choice?"
"Haha, no, I think it's very suitable!" Guo Ting laughed and said, "Thank you for giving Quan Zi this opportunity!"
Then, Guo Ting thanked Wu Ning again.
These are all the same things we talked about before.
What Wu Ning couldn't understand was that Guo Ting seemed to be looking for him just to have a meal.
After the meal was over, the two of them went downstairs together.
"Wu, do you want me to take you back?" Guo Ting asked.
"No need, I'll just go back by myself."
After hearing what Wu Ning said, Guo Ting was not polite to him.
After Guo Ting left, Wu Ning stood for a while and called Gu Yuan.
About twenty minutes later, Zhang Chuan drove up, picked him up, and returned to the sword bearer's office.
When Wu Ning opened the office door, Gu Yuan had already made tea for him.
Originally, he wanted to pick up Wu Ning, but then he thought about it. He could only rush to Wu Ning when he was in the office. What if Guo Ting chose to take action directly while he was on the road? of trouble.
By the time he arrived, Wu Ning might have been cold.
Sitting in front of Gu Yuan, Wu Ning informed him of the previous exchange between himself and Guo Ting.
Gu Yuan listened quietly, with an extremely calm expression.
"You don't have anything to ask?" Wu Ning said suddenly.
"What do you want to ask?" Gu Yuan was stunned, thought about it seriously, and said, "What did you eat at night?"
"..."
Gu Yuan smiled and said: "Actually, there is nothing surprising about this. This is just a simple test. Guo Ting will not rush to attack you."
"But... what if he is convinced by my previous method?" Wu Ning asked.
When Guo Ting asked him why he approached Guo Siyang, Wu Ning was extremely shocked.
Because Gu Yuan had met him before, Guo Ting might ask this question when he saw him.
And also told Wu Ning how to answer.
And all this was unexpected by Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan touched his chin and pushed the tea cup in front of Wu Ning.
"He will believe it only after he is convinced, and it is also because he believes it that he will become more suspicious."
Wu Ning nodded, and then said expressionlessly, "I don't understand."
"..." Gu Yuan paused and changed his expression, "If you want to scheme against a smart person, just make him doubt you. Those who are cautious will always feel that there is a monster hidden under the calm lake."
…
Returning to the residence specially set up for Guo Siyang's schooling, Guo Ting stood in front of the tall floor-to-ceiling windows and meditated for a long time. Then he went back to lie on the sofa with his eyes closed as if in deep thought.
In the process of thinking, his fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the sofa.
Three minutes later, he suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes sparkling with brilliance. Then he picked up his cell phone and dialed a number.
"It's your turn...find an opportunity."
