If he went to fight them, he could beat them as well, but he wouldn’t have been as fast as Gu Ning.
“Why didn’t you say that I’m too strong?” said Gu Ning.
Xu Jinchen was struck dumb for a second. “I said they’re too weak, which means you’re much stronger than them!”
“That’s different. If you say they’re too weak, it means that they can be easily defeated, but if you said I’m strong, it means I’m much better than them and make them look weak,” said Gu Ning. She didn’t really care about that, she simply wanted to joke with Xu Jinchen.
Xu Jinchen was surprised. “Is there a difference?”
He didn’t think there was a difference. Anyway, he meant to compliment Gu Ning since those men were too weak.
“Of course,” said Gu Ning.
“Fine, you win!” Xu Jinchen didn’t know what to say to Gu Ning, so he gave up.
Forty minutes later, Xu Jinchen took Gu Ning and the others to XX pier.
XX pier was relatively remote. It was a wharf that had been abandoned for many years. There were no people or houses around, so it was safe to sail from there.
After reaching the wharf, Xu Jinchen suddenly remembered an important question. “Oh, there is no boat. How will you get to the destination?” asked He.
“We have our own way. You can leave after we get out of the car. We’ll let you know if anything happens,” said Gu Ning. Although Xu Jinchen knew they had superpowers, he didn’t know their skills too clearly, so they didn’t want him to watch them.
“Sure.” Xu Jinchen didn’t ask further. After Gu Ning and the others got out of the car, he immediately drove away.
……
Even though he was curious to know how Gu Ning managed to get to the destination, he understood what he shouldn’t ask about. He had no intention of taking a peek.
They had superpowers, so they could think of a good way.
After Xu Jinchen left, Gu Ning and the others talked about what they should do. There were three of them, so they would take action in three directions.
If Leng Shaoting was really on a nearby island, it shouldn’t be difficult for them to find him.
Because as long as they were within fifty meters of each other, they could feel each other’s aura. They didn’t need to wait until they saw him before they actually found him.
Shangguan Yang and Jing Yunyao could fly with their swords, so they could search in the air. Gu Ning couldn’t do that, but she had a flood dragon. Flood dragons could swim freely in the water, so Gu Ning would search in the sea.
They didn’t know whether Leng Shaoting was in a base, on an island, or in the ocean, so they needed to search everywhere.
After coming to an agreement, they took action.
Gu Ning let the flood dragon out, then got into the water.
Once she was in the water, she used her magical power to make a barrier to protect herself before she searched.
Although Gu Ning couldn’t sense Leng Shaoting in the water, she had a pair of Jade Eyes, so she could directly use it to look for him.
The ocean was large. Even if Leng Shaoting was nearby, it would still take a lot of time to find him.
At the same time, Xu Jinchen returned to where they were staying. They stayed in a seaside resort fifty minutes away from XX wharf.
During the past few days, they moved around as tourists, so they casually went out for a walk during the day.
City Gang wasn’t prosperous, whether in business or tourism, but because it was located in the most fringe area of Country R, it had beautiful scenery. However, due to its remoteness, it couldn’t develop well.
There were some tourists, but most of the people were local citizens.
Normally, foreigners would directly visit the capital city of Country R.
This time, five comrades came with Leng Shaoting, namely Xu Jinchen, Chen Meng, Ai Weishun, Si Ming, and Zhao Lang.
They all knew that Xu Jinchen went to pick up Gu Ning, so they asked him about it once he got back.
“Why are you alone? Where is Gu Ning? Why didn’t she come with you?” asked Chen Meng.
They thought Gu Ning would come and discuss the plan of action before they did it together.
“I told them that Shaoting followed those people and left from XX wharf, so they went directly there. Gu Ning told me to come back and wait for her message,” said Xu Jinchen.
Because they all knew that Gu Ning had superpowers, they didn’t think it was wrong for Xu Jinchen to come back alone.
That being the case, they could only wait patiently.
Anyway, Gu Ning’s arrival cheered them up, because they trusted her.
“I hope Shaoting is fine,” said Zhao Lang.
Even though Leng Shaoting was a god in their eyes, they were still worried about his safety. After all, their enemies this time weren’t weak.
…
Gu Ning and the others searched from 9:30 pm, and didn’t finish till 3 am. At this moment, they were far away from XX wharf.
Finally, Shangguan Yang sensed a cultivator at the edge of an island and immediately followed it.
Around Leng Shaoting, he could feel several evil beings walking about.
Shangguan Yang felt that they had to be searching for Leng Shaoting as well, but he didn’t know if they were ninjas or mutants.
As Shangguan Yang approached, he found Leng Shaoting’s exact position, then he went straight to him.
Shangguan Yang didn’t deal with the evil beings first, because he was unaware of Leng Shaoting’s plan. If he went to kill those evil beings, he might ruin Leng Shaoting’s plan.
Leng Shaoting was hidden in the crevices of the island cliff. It was not until Shangguan Yang was within ten meters that Leng Shaoting noticed him.
When Leng Shaoting saw Shangguan Yang, he was extremely surprised. “Master, what are you doing here?”
He only told Xu Jinchen to call Gu Ning and Jing Yunyao, so he didn’t expect Shangguan Yang to come as well. However, he wasn’t too shocked.
Shangguan Yang was his master. If he needed help, his master wouldn’t stand on the sidelines.
“I haven’t seen mutants before, so I came to have a look,” said Shangguan Yang straightforwardly. He didn’t care whether it would hurt Leng Shaoting’s feelings.
Leng Shaoting didn’t feel hurt, but he didn’t find his excuse persuasive. Why did Shangguan Yang come all the way here just to see mutants?
Nevertheless, he could understand.
“There are four evil beings above me. Among them, the two stronger beings are mutants, while the other two are ninjas,” said Leng Shaoting.
“So what do you plan to do?” asked Shangguan Yang.
Hearing that, Leng Shaoting understood that Shangguan Yang was talking about the evil beings above him.
