Jing Yunyao understood and stopped asking about it.
There were actually guns and other things in Gu Ning’s telepathic eye space, but Jing Yunyao was here right now, so Gu Ning would wait until she was gone.
Because it was very late, they went to sleep in their own room.
When Gu Ning was back in her room, she didn’t go to bed, but sent Leng Shaoting a message. She told him about the guns and explosives. Leng Shaoting was leaving tomorrow afternoon and going back to their military base, so she had to give them to him before he left.
Gu Ning wouldn’t give all of them to Leng Shaoting, she would keep some to protect herself.
…
The next day, they got up early in the morning, then went to run together. Jing Yunyao didn’t join Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning, because she knew that they needed some private space. She wouldn’t interrupt them. Instead, she stayed at home and made breakfast for them.
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting actually had nothing private to talk about with each other. They just casually chatted with one another.
“Oh, will you go to the Leng family’s house today?” asked Gu Ning.
“We won’t. My mother doesn’t feel comfortable there, and I’m leaving this afternoon. I don’t want her to be left alone. You can go to my family’s house with her if you’re free these days when I’m absent. You can share a meal with my grandfather, I think he’ll be happy about it,” said Leng Shaoting.
“No problem.” Gu Ning agreed.
Although Jing Yunyao hadn’t gotten all her memories back yet, she was the daughter-in-law of the Leng family after all, so she should visit the Leng family once in a while.
After running in the morning, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting went back home, where Jing Yunyao had prepared breakfast for them. Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting then changed their clothes before they had breakfast together.
At this moment, Leng Shaoting felt happier than ever. He finally felt the familial happiness, which was different from that of his romantic relationship with Gu Ning.
All of a sudden, Leng Shaoting said, “Mom, I missed the food cooked by you.”
Jing Yunyao was surprised and said at once, “Should we go to the Leng family’s house later? If not, we can dine at home today, and I’ll cook.”
Although Jing Yunyao had been back for days, she had dined either in the Leng family’s house or outside, so Leng Shaoting didn’t have a chance to eat food cooked by her.
“No, we can stay here today,” said Leng Shaoting.
“Great, then I’ll go grocery shopping later,” said Jing Yunyao.
“We’ll go together,” said Gu Ning. She wasn’t afraid that Jing Yunyao didn’t know the directions, because there was a supermarket right across Mountain River Garden. She simply thought that Jing Yunyao shouldn’t go out alone.
“Great, let’s go together,” said Leng Shaoting.
“Sure.” Jing Yunyao didn’t refuse.
They would go grocery shopping at 10 am, so they went to deal with their own things first after having breakfast.
Gu Ning wanted to do the dishes, but Leng Shaoting stopped her. Jing Yunyao also pulled her away from the table. “As a man, Shaoting should take care of his girl. Just let him do it.”
Jing Yunyao was a very reasonable mother-in-law. She didn’t think that her son was superior to her daughter-in-law or that her daughter-in-law should do the housework. The young couple could make the decision on that.
Gu Ning and Jing Yunyao went to rest for a while in the living room. Leng Shaoting also had a rest after doing the dishes. Afterwards, they went to the backyard and began their practice.
Although Gu Ning wasn’t a cultivator, she could practice together with them, so she joined them.
Gu Ning’s photographic memory shocked Jing Yunyao. She thought that Leng Shaoting had a very good memory, but unexpectedly Gu Ning’s memory was better than his. If Gu Ning were a cultivator, she might be more talented than Leng Shaoting.
Thinking of that, Jing Yunyao felt worried. Because Leng Shaoting was a cultivator, he aged slowly as his cultivation improved. However, although Gu Ning had many unbelievable skills, she was a mortal and couldn’t live as long.
She wasn’t disdaining Gu Ning, but was worried about their future. It was very dangerous for a mortal to become a cultivator. Once a mortal made a mistake, he or she might die. Therefore, from the ancient times till now, very few mortals could successfully become a cultivator.
She believed that both Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning must have the same worry although they said nothing about it.
No external force could help with the process of cutting bones and purifying marrow. It totally relied on one’s determination, energy, and luck.
Jing Yunyao was worried, but didn’t say it aloud, in case it made them more worried.
They stopped practicing at 9:30 am. Because it was a hot day, they were sweating. So they went to have a shower in their rooms before they went to the supermarket together.
It was outside the block, so they walked there.
Although there was a grocery shop inside the block, it was small and didn’t sell all kinds of food, so they went to the supermarket further outside. However, when they almost reached the entrance, they met Jiang Ruining.
Jiang Ruining’s eyes lit up the second he saw Gu Ning, but he was scared once his sight fell on Leng Shaoting. He put on a serious expression at once.
“Hi, Shaoting, Gu Ning!” Jing Yunyao greeted them. Because he didn’t know Jing Yunyao, he didn’t know how to call her.
“Hi,” said Leng Shaoting in a plain tone.
“Did you come to see your older brother?” asked Gu Ning.
“Yeah, I had an argument with my family, so I came to stay in my older brother’s place,” said Jiang Ruining. He didn’t think it was embarrassing. After that, he asked, “Where are you going now?”
“To the supermarket,” said Gu Ning.
“Oh, then I won’t waste your time. See you,” said Jiang Ruining. If Leng Shaoting weren’t here, he would talk with Gu Ning a bit longer. However, because of Leng Shaoting’s presence, he didn’t dare to do that.
Afterwards, they separated. Gu Ning said to Jing Yunyao later, “He’s the grandson of Master Jiang, who is Grandpa Leng’s old friend. His name is Jiang Ruining.”
Hearing that, Jing Yunyao nodded.
Because it was hard to find a food market in a big city, they normally bought food in supermarkets. Luckily most of the food was fresh in supermarkets, so it wasn’t a bad choice.
When the three of them walked in the crowd, they were most noticeable. Many people paid special attention to them and guessed their relationships.
Jing Yunyao looked very young, but there was still a big difference between her and Gu Ning as well as Leng Shaoting when they stood together. However, people didn’t think that Jing Yunyao was Leng Shaoting or Gu Ning’s mother, but believed that she might be the sister or aunt of one of them.
