It was an unbreakable rule.
About 20 years ago, a girl who was born in one of the four most powerful families in the cultivation world fell in love with a mortal, which annoyed her family after which she was killed.
“Didn’t you always think that Dongfang Ziyu is the best? Why do you suddenly think Gu Ning is better than her?” Baili Zongyang asked.
“I have that opinion after comparison! Although their levels of martial arts aren’t comparable, because one is a martial artist while the other is a cultivator. Gu Ning is much more outstanding than Dongfang Ziyu if you compare their appearance and abilities,” Baili Zongxue said.
Because Baili Zongxue didn’t know that Gu Ning had magical power, she believed that Gu Ning was weaker than Dongfang Ziyu.
However, Gu Ning wasn’t weak at all.
Baili Zongyang agreed with his younger sister, but he had no intention to chase Gu Ning because Gu Ning was a mortal.
“Oh, is Kouzi really that effective?” Baili Zongxue was curious. She was very young and her skin was very good because of her cultivation, so she paid little attention to skincare products.
“And I’ve also seen many positive comments about Colaine. It seems to be as effective as magic medicine,” Baili Zongxue added.
“Haven’t you done a lot of study on medicines? You can buy some yourself to carry out a study,” Baili Zongyang said.
“Right! How could I forget about that! I’ll buy some to study tomorrow morning.” Baili Zongxue got excited.
…
The next day, more people were attracted to the news about Kouzi and Gu Ning, and they were surprised too when they learned that both Kouzi and Colaine were Gu Ning’s companies.
Many people had called Gu Ning out of concern these past few days. Baili Zongyang was included.
Although Gu Ning lost her patience after receiving too many calls about the same thing, she still stayed kind and answered his call.
…
In the capital, Baili Zongxue went to a store of Colaine at 9 am. She bought some pills and ointments.
When she went back home, she opened the packages of medicine right away but smelt something familiar, which surprised her. There was magical power inside!
Baili Zongxue couldn’t believe it.
Since Colaine was Gu Ning’s company, Gu Ning must have magical power too!
An idea dawned on Baili Zongxue that Gu Ning could be a cultivator as well or she must have a valuable object filled with magical power.
Thinking of that, Baili Zongxue called Baili Zongyang without delay.
“What’s up?” Baili Zongyang asked.
“Zongyang, is it convenient for you now? I have something important to tell you,” Baili Zongxue said.
Hearing that, Baili Zongyang put on a serious expression. “Yeah, I’m in my office alone. What happened?”
“I just bought some Colaine medicine, and I found magical power in them!” Baili Zongxue said.
“What? There is magical power in Colaine medicine?” Baili Zongyang was shocked.
Colaine was one of Gu Ning’s companies, so the magical power must have something to do with her. Gu Ning was either a cultivator or had a treasure with magical power.
However, Baili Zongyang didn’t sense any magical power from Gu Ning, so she must have a kind of treasure with magical power in her body.
If she was an ordinary mortal, how could she get to know about magical power?
Also, if Gu Ning was aware of the existence of magical power, she must have found out his real identity. Baili Zongyang found it was too difficult for him to accept.
He didn’t believe that Gu Ning was a cultivator nor that Gu Ning could sense magical power.
In that case, there must be someone else behind her back.
Baili Zongyang thought that it was much more reasonable.
“Are you sure?” he asked.
“I am very sure, and you can check it for yourself when you’re home today,” Baili Zongxue replied.
Baili Zongyang didn’t have patience to wait for such a long time, so he left the company at once.
About 20 minutes later, Baili Zongyang arrived at his home.
Baili Zongxue was surprised when Baili Zongyang showed up so soon.
The second Baili Zongyang was back, he asked Baili Zongxue to give him the medicines. Once he opened them, he indeed smelt a faint trace of magical power.
“Is there magical power in every kind of medicine produced by Colaine?” Baili Zongyang asked.
“Yes,” Baili Zongxue said.
“I think we should conduct an investigation on Gu Ning.” Baili Zongyang squinted his eyes.
He had no hostility against Gu Ning, and there was no conflict of interest between them either, so he never had the idea to investigate Gu Ning before. Gu Ning could be his friend, so he respected her.
Nevertheless, the situation was different now.
He wasn’t sure whether Gu Ning was his friend or enemy now.
If Gu Ning really could sense magical power, it was highly possible that she had already found out his real identity.
It wasn’t a big deal, but he was afraid that she might do something else to hurt him.
He approached Gu Ning of his own accord, but he had to conduct an investigation now, otherwise he would be too worried.
As long as they weren’t enemies, he would still be willing to make friends with Gu Ning.
Baili Zongyang was reluctant to have a strong enemy after all.
