Members of the Evil Practice kept absorbing any magical power or Yin they could find.
With the help of Yin, the man was able to stay in the water for around half an hour.
“My lady, what do you want me to do next?” the jiao asked Gu Ning once she moved near.
“I need to bring him back to ask him something,” Gu Ning said.
“Oh.” The jiao was a little disappointed, but soon forgot about it.
Even though the man’s inner discipline wasn’t bad, Gu Ning’s magical power was much better. Since the man was useful for Gu Ning, it wouldn’t steal him.
When the man saw Gu Ning talking to the jiao, he was shocked. He knew that Gu Ning couldn’t be a normal human being, but he was still shocked by her unbelievable skills.
Not only could she move freely in the water, but she could also talk with animals.
Gu Ning thought for a while, then added, “You can absorb half of his inner discipline in case he escapes.”
Gu Ning understood that the jiao needed the man’s inner discipline to improve its own, and she was also unwilling to kill the man herself. She had killed a lot of people before, but it wasn’t a pleasant thing to do.
If the jiao absorbed half of the man’s inner discipline, it would be easier for Gu Ning to control him.
“Thanks!” The jiao’s eyes lit up and began to do it without delay.
The man, however, was scared, but he couldn’t struggle at all.
Before long, the jiao absorbed half of the man’s inner discipline, and the man became weak in an instant.
At this time, Gu Ning took out a rope and tied the man up. She put the jiao back into the telepathic eye space and pulled the man to the surface of the water.
The man couldn’t talk until they were out of the water. “I know what you want to find out, but I won’t tell you anything. I dare you to kill me!”
The man understood that Gu Ning aimed to destroy the Evil Practice, so it was impossible that she would set him free even if he told her what she wanted to know.
Gu Ning didn’t bother to argue with the man right now, because she needed to get onto the boat as soon as possible.
Leng Shaoting focused on the surface of the water the entire time. Once Gu Ning showed up, he sailed the boat over, and stopped by her side.
“Ningning!” Leng Shaoting reached out his hand and pulled her up along with the man.
He didn’t have time to pay attention to the man, but checked Gu Ning’s body at once. “Ningning, are you alright?”
“I’m fine.” Gu Ning smiled at him.
Leng Shaoting didn’t see any injuries on Gu Ning’s body, and released a deep breath. The next second, his sight fell on the man with his eyes full of hatred. If it hadn’t been for the man, Gu Ning wouldn’t have stayed in the cold water for so long.
The man was terrified by Leng Shaoting’s hostile glare. He sensed something familiar from Leng Shaoting’s body, but couldn’t remember it right now.
He believed that Leng Shaoting couldn’t be a normal human being either.
“Ningning, what will you do to him?” Leng Shaoting asked Gu Ning.
They couldn’t let the government handle it, because it might cause unnecessary alarm. Common citizens would also be frightened if this news went abroad.
“I want to know more about those who are practicing inner discipline first, then I’ll figure out a way to handle it well,” Gu Ning said.
Gu Ning was a little worried that the man might tell Leng Shaoting about the jiao, because he already witnessed it.
If he really said it aloud, Gu Ning would tell Leng Shaoting how she got the jiao then.
Leng Shaoting was always respectful of Gu Ning’s decisions, so he didn’t ask further.
“I can help you with it, and you can go have a warm shower now, in case you catch a cold,” Leng Shaoting said.
“I’m fine, and I’m still physically strong. I need to solve this problem right now,” Gu Ning said. She didn’t want to delay it.
“Alright.” Although Leng Shaoting was worried about Gu Ning, he wouldn’t stop her from doing what she wanted. He was indeed a great boyfriend who respected his girlfriend and listened to her.
Some men wouldn’t just demand that their girlfriends do what they wanted without showing any respect.
“It’s useless! I won’t tell you anything,” the man said loudly. He was doomed to death anyway.
“Really? What if I keep torturing you but don’t kill you?” Gu Ning squinted at him.
“You…” The man was furious. No one was willing to suffer endless torture without death. However, the man was still reluctant to give in.
“Are you telling me or not?” Gu Ning asked in a cold tone.
The man remained silent. He was gambling that Gu Ning would kill him before she got what she wanted.
“Let me be honest with you. I’m not a patient person. if you refuse to tell me, I’ll figure another way out. You know that members of the Evil Practice all ache to get what I have,” Gu Ning said.
