Anyway, it wasn’t be a secret among them.
In the car, Jing Jining told them a serious matter.
“I returned to the cultivation world this time. The kung fu competition which is held once every 3 years is only a month away now. Everyone believes Dongfang Ziyu will win, but I found that Jing Yaorong’s youngest son, Jing Yunyan, who was born after you left the cultivation world, has a very high cultivation level. He’s in the early stage of the Golden Core, going into the mid-stage, so I think he’s more likely to be the winner. The champion will be awarded the Spirit-gathering Pill. If Jing Yunyan gets it, he’ll definitely give it to Jing Yanrong. By then, Jing Yanrong can pass the Yuan Ying Period, which isn’t good news,” Jing Jining said.
Hearing that, Jing Yunyao put on a serious expression as well. “Even though it’ll happen, we can’t stop it.”
They couldn’t go back to the cultivation world right now, because they lacked confidence to win. They could only go back when they had great confidence. Therefore, even if Jing Yunyan was very likely to win, they could only watch it happen.
“There is a way to stop it, but I don’t know whether you’ll approve of it,” said Jing Jining.
“What is it?” asked Jing Yunyao.
“Shaoting can take part in the competition,” said Jing Jining.
“What? No!” Jing Yunyao got emotional in an instant.
“Calm down. Let me finish first.” Jing Jining comforted her at once. Jing Yunyao then closed her mouth, and Jing Jining continued, “There is a condition for that idea. Senior Shangguan is at a very high level. He must have the ability to change one’s appearance. And given Shaoting’s level now, it can’t be easier for him to win. Once the competition is over and Shaoting gets the Spirit-gathering Pill, he’ll leave the cultivation world. Afterwards, he’ll return to his own look, and nobody will know. You know the kung fu competition is quite challenging, so it’s also a great opportunity for Shaoting to practice his skills.”
Hearing that, Jing Yunyao remained silent for a while. Jing Jining’s words made sense, but she was still worried.
“I think it’s a good idea,” said Leng Shaoting. They didn’t lack magical pills and Shangguan Yang had a lot of them. Precisely because of Shangguan Yang’s magical pills and his own talent, Leng Shaoting was able to make big progress. However, the amount of the pills had to be limited, or it would hurt his body. Therefore, even if Shangguan Yang had many magical pills, Leng Shaoting couldn’t take as many as he wanted.
However, even though they didn’t lack magical pills, they couldn’t allow the Jing family to get it. Accordingly, Leng Shaoting was more than willing to join in the competition.
Since Leng Shaoting agreed to do it, Jing Yunyao couldn’t stop him because it was useless. In addition, she also wanted to stop the Jing family from winning the game.
“Since Shaoting agrees, I can’t disagree. We need to ask Senior Shangguan whether he can change one’s appearance. I won’t allow Shaoting to go there with his original face,” said Jing Yunyao.
She respected Leng Shaoting’s decision, but she had her concern as a mother.
“Sure,” said Leng Shaoting. If Shangguan Yang couldn’t change his appearance, he would give up the idea for Jing Yunyao and Gu Ning.
At the siheyuan, Jing Jining was excited and nervous to see Shangguan Yang.
Shangguan Yang didn’t show off his importance in front of Jing Jining, and casually talked with him so that he was able to relax gradually.
After a casual talk, Leng Shaoting told Shangguan Yang about Jing Jining’s idea, and he also said that he was willing to conduct the plan under the condition that his appearance could be changed to prevent him being targeted when the competition was over.
“I can change your appearance, but it can only last for 24 hours,” said Shangguan Yang.
“One day is enough. The competition is half a day long,” said Jing Jining.
“I want to go there too!” Hearing that, Gu Ning showed her desire to go there as well.
“Um…” Jing Jining felt it was a little difficult, because only cultivators could enter the cultivation world.
“Uncle Jing, don’t worry, I just became a cultivator yesterday. Although I’m not a real cultivator right now, you know my abilities, right?” Gu Ning understood why Jing Jining felt it was difficult, so she didn’t hide the fact that she was already a cultivator. Anyway, he would know sooner or later.
“What?” Jing Jining was shocked to hear that. To his astonishment, Gu Ning already became a cultivator.
He knew that Gu Ning had outstanding abilities. So although Gu Ning just became a cultivator, she was strong enough to defeat Yin Shixun along with him before that.
Given her abilities, she could win a prize alone, and she would go with Leng Shaoting too. They could team up in the competition.
Jing Jining kept on digesting the shocking news that Gu Ning just became a cultivator, but he didn’t immediately reply to her request of wanting to go into the cultivation world as well. Instead, he turned to Leng Shaoting for his opinions.
“Shaoting, what do you think?” asked Jing Jining.
“We can go there together!” Leng Shaoting was unwilling to disappoint Gu Ning.
“I’ll go too. I want to see what the cultivation world is like,” said Shangguan Yang at once. Ever since he learned about the existence of the cultivation world, he had been longing to go there.
Jing Jining definitely wouldn’t say no to Shangguan Yang.
“I won’t go with you,” said Jing Yunyao, because she was afraid that she might run into Jing Yaorong, which would cause them unnecessary trouble.
Leng Shaoting didn’t experience those bad things in person, so he could control himself even if he met the Jing family. Therefore, it wasn’t a bad thing that Jing Yunyao wouldn’t go with them.
After talking about that, they began to have the meal.
Jing Jining left once he finished the meal, while Leng Shaoting and the others began to cultivate.
When their cultivation was over, it was already 12 am, but they were full of energy and didn’t feel tired at all. Therefore, they decided to have night snacks together.
Lao Zhang usually left after serving them dinner, so Jing Yunyao went to cook now. Luckily Jing Yunyao was very good at cooking, so they enjoyed the night snacks.
The siheyuan was very large with many rooms, so Leng Shaoting and the others didn’t go back to their own places. They directly stayed in the siheyuan for a night.
After having night snacks, Jing Yunyao and Shangguan Yang went back to their own room. Leng Shaoting, however, took Gu Ning to the backyard to have a walk.. He mainly wanted to have some private time with her.
