1540: I Left for a Reason

I Left for a Reason

There was a large garden out of the yard, and it was even more beautiful than Dongfang Ziyu's yard.1

Maids in ancient clothes stood here and there and they all greeted Dongfang Ziyu with great respect once she showed up.

The cultivation world was totally different from the mortals' world, although they existed at the same time. Actually, the cultivation world was as large as the capital city, and was the space squeezed out from the mortals' world.

Dongfang Ziyu entered another yard, and saw a middle-aged man standing in the middle. "Lady Dongfang, Master Dongfang is waiting for you," he said to her with great respect.

"Thanks," Dongfang Ziyu said and walked away. She knocked on the door of a room but didn't push it open until she heard permission from inside.

An old man about 60 years old was sitting in front of a desk in the study. Although he looked like a 60-year-old man, he was actually hundreds of years old. Because he was a cultivator, he aged slowly. The higher his level became, the slower he aged.

Dongfang Ziyu looked like a 25-year-old young woman, but she was actually 45 years old.

"Grandpa, what did you want to talk to me about?" Dongfang Ziyu asked.

The old man was Dongfang Ziyu's grandfather, and he was the patriarch of the Dongfang family.

"The kung fu competition is around the corner now. How's your cultivation?" Master Dongfang asked.

Master Dongfang had been on retreat for a long time, so he didn't know what Dongfang Ziyu was doing recently. He thought that she was focusing on her cultivation. Because he ended his retreat today, he told Dongfang Ziyu to see him this morning.

In the Dongfang family, he paid most attention to Dongfang Ziyu, because she was the most talented among his grandchildren. He also had high expectations for her.

Dongfang Ziyu panicked a little, because she didn't spend much time practicing her cultivation these days, but she didn't dare to lie to her grandfather's face. "Grandpa, I-I went to the mortals' worlds often recently, so I didn't focus on my cultivation, but I left for a reason."

Hearing that, Master Dongfang was displeased. "What for?"

He knew that it must be something important, given his understanding of Dongfang Ziyu's personality.

After that, Dongfang Ziyu told what she had found out about Gu Ning and magical power. Master Dongfang was surprised after hearing the story. "What? How is it possible?"

"It's real and I have some of the medicines with me. Please have a look," Dongfang Ziyu said and gave Master Dongfang some Colaine medicines at once.

Master Dongfang took them and opened them right away, and he indeed felt the magical power.

Although there wasn't much magical power in the medicine, it was quite useful for mortals. Most importantly, there must be a certain kind of magical pills or magical medicinal herbs mixed with these medicines. No matter what, it was very unusual.

"Shunhua and I have been working on it these days, trying to figure out where the magical power comes from, but the owner of Colaine is unwilling to cooperate with us in business," Dongfang Ziyu said.

"It's probably just an accident," Master Dongfang said. It was hard for him to believe that a mortal would know about something like magical power.

"I had the same idea," Dongfang Ziyu said. She admitted that Gu Ning was an unbelievable girl, but she couldn't believe that Gu Ning could get the magical power.

"Oh, Shunhua ran into Baili Zongxue a few days ago outside the block where Gu Ning lived. I think Baili Zongxue is also investigating this," Dongfang Ziyu said.

Master Dongfang frowned. It seemed that the Baili family was also aware of it now.

"You should go to meet Shunhua to see whether he has any news about it. We must know what the Baili family is doing with Gu Ning," Master Dongfang said.

"No problem," Dongfang Ziyu said.

With her grandfather's permission, she wouldn't need to make an excuse to leave now. After that, Dongfang Ziyu left the cultivation world.

The second she walked outside, she saw the message from Wu Shunhua. Unfortunately, Wu Shunhua didn't have any useful new information about Gu Ning and simply sent her a video of Gu Ning fighting against her bodyguards.

After watching the video, Dongfang Ziyu had to admit that Gu Ning was much stronger than she thought. She called Wu Shunhua at once and asked him about the situation now.
