Hearing that, that Leng Shaoting blinked and explained. “It’s an emergency. Stop wasting time on arguing. If we don’t leave right now, we won’t ever be able to leave this place.”
Although that Leng Shaoting only blinked, Gu Ning still caught it. It seemed that he wasn’t the real Leng Shaoting. Who was he then? Why did he have the same appearance as Leng Shaoting instead of someone else? Why did he suddenly appear?
“It won’t take you much time to let the flood dragon out. Why can’t you do that?” Even if Gu Ning was sure that he wasn’t the real Leng Shaoting, she still wanted to make him expose himself.
“If so, you don’t need to go back now.” All of a sudden, that Leng Shaoting changed his attitude and became violent. The next second, he attacked Gu Ning with a pair of angry eyes.
Gu Ning was sure that he wasn’t the real Leng Shaoting, but she was still sad when he attacked her. Left with no choice, she fought back at once.
The Leng Shaoting at her back was unwilling to burden her, so he let Gu Ning go once the other Leng Shaoting attacked her.
However, Gu Ning immediately turned to grab his hand. If she let him go, he would quickly be blown away by the strong wind. He might knock against the walls in the cave. As a result, he could die or be seriously injured.
“You don’t need to worry about me.” Leng Shaoting felt touched that Gu Ning was so protective of him. Although she protected him because she cared about the Leng Shaoting a year later, he was protected by her right now.
“No, I won’t let you go!” Gu Ning said with determination.
Because the other Leng Shaoting was fake, this Leng Shaoting must be real. No matter what, she wouldn’t allow him to be injured.
Leng Shaoting tried to get rid of her, but found that Gu Ning was unbelievably strong. He couldn’t get rid of her, so he gave up in the end.
Gu Ning wasn’t dumb and wouldn’t fight against the fake Leng Shaoting alone. Without delay, she let the monster fox out of her telepathic eye space.
Even though the monster fox wasn’t at a high level, it was very helpful in such a situation.
Besides, the man was a fake Leng Shaoting, so he wasn’t stronger than her. With the help of the monster fox, Gu Ning was able to fight against him while she protected the real Leng Shaoting at her back.
Unfortunately, Gu Ning failed to defeat the fake Leng Shaoting and was finally forced to leave the cave.
If the real Leng Shaoting wasn’t with her, she could defeat the fake Leng Shaoting, but she refused to abandon the real Leng Shaoting.
After Gu Ning and the real Leng Shaoting were far from the barrier, the fake Leng Shaoting didn’t chase after them.
“Are you alright?” The real Leng Shaoting asked Gu Ning with concern. Because of him, Gu Ning failed to defeat the fake Leng Shaoting, which made him feel guilty. He also blamed himself for not helping her.
“I’m fine,” said Gu Ning. Even though she failed to defeat the fake Leng Shaoting, she wasn’t wounded. She knew that she couldn’t win, so she chose to protect herself first.
“I’m sorry.” The real Leng Shaoting apologized. He just burdened Gu Ning, so she failed.
“You don’t need to apologize to me. I brought you here, so I should say sorry to you,” said Gu Ning.
“I agreed to come. If I wasn’t willing to come here, no one could force me.” Leng Shaoting didn’t want Gu Ning to blame herself.
Gu Ning knew Leng Shaoting very well, so she stopped talking about that topic.
“What should we do now?” Leng Shaoting asked.
Gu Ning didn’t reply to him right away, because she didn’t have an idea either. She wouldn’t abandon Leng Shaoting anyway.
All of a sudden, Gu Ning thought of Jing Yunyao. Although Jing Yunyao had still lost her memories now, she was a cultivator in the Yuan Ying Period. If Jing Yunyao came to help them, they could easily get into the barrier.
“I thought of someone. Let’s go now,” said Gu Ning.
“Sure,” said Leng Shaoting, then he walked out with Gu Ning.
At this moment, it wasn’t bright yet, but it was nearly dawn, so Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting immediately climbed down the mountain. They needed to go back to the car before dawn.
Because it was about the summer, the sky turned bright very early. Luckily, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting successfully got back into the car before dawn.
“Who did you think of?” Leng Shaoting asked.
“Your mother,” said Gu Ning.
Hearing that, Leng Shaoting was surprised. “C-Can you find her right now?” He got excited.
Although he asked that question, he was sure that Gu Ning could find his mother, or she wouldn’t say that to him.
Moreover, they met in a year, so Gu Ning must have the number of his mother. As long as his mother used the same phone number, it should be easy for them to find his mother.
Gu Ning had told Leng Shaoting too many things earlier, and Leng Shaoting couldn’t digest all of them within a short time, so he forgot about Jing Yunyao for the time being.
In fact, if he could travel a year ahead in time with Gu Ning, he should be able to see his mother.
“I have her phone number, but it’s still early now. We don’t need to rush. Let’s go have breakfast first. I’ll call her when she’s up,” said Gu Ning.
“No problem.” Even though Leng Shaoting couldn’t wait to see his mother, it was indeed very early now. His mother should still be asleep, so he decided to be patient.
After that, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting went to have breakfast. After having breakfast, it was nearly 7:30 am, and Jing Yunyao should be up at this moment. Therefore, once Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were in the car, Gu Ning called Jing Yunyao.
She got through to Jing Yunyao and Jing Yunyao asked, “Hi, who’s that?”
“Hi, Mrs. Jing, this is Gu Ning. I know what I’m going to say might be a little abrupt, but I think it’s better for me to be straightforward. I know the real reason why you lost memories fifteen years ago. Do you want to know?” Gu Ning hit the point once Jing Yunyao answered her call. She called Jing Yunyao Mrs. Jing instead of Mrs. Shen, which meant that she knew her real identity.
“What?” Jing Yunyao was very surprised at this time. She was astonished that Gu Ning knew who she was and the fact that she had lost her memories after being injured fifteen years ago. Gu Ning even knew the truth behind the accident. Didn’t her cousin tell her that nobody knew that? Therefore, Jing Yunyao became alert and asked coldly, “Why should I believe you?”
Why? Since Gu Ning knew who she was and what had happened to her, it should be very convincing.
