The evil cultivator felt the crisis and knew that he might not win if he continued to fight, so after thinking about it, he felt that it would be better to leave. However, it might not be that easy to leave. Therefore, the evil cultivator took advantage of Leng Shaoting's inattention and immediately arrested him. Xu Jingchen, who lived closest to him, was used as a hostage.
Because Xu Jingchen was injured and was in shock towards Leng Shaoting, he was completely defenseless and was easily caught by the evil cultivator.
"Jingchen······"
Everyone was shocked when they saw this, but they did not dare to step forward rashly, for fear that the evil cultivator would attack Xu Jingchen.
"Take Ye Mingzhu, or I will kill him." Xie Xiu threatened Leng Shaoting.
"Okay, I can give Ye Mingzhu to you, but you have to let him go." Leng Shaoting agreed without hesitation.
Although he didn't know whether the evil cultivator would let Xu Jingchen go after getting the Night Pearl, he couldn't let Xu Jingchen take risks because of the Night Pearl. After all, life was more important to them than items.
Xie Xiu held Xu Jingchen to the exit and said, "Okay, as long as you give me the Night Pearl, I will let him go."
The evil cultivator knew that he would be in danger if he continued to entangle with them, so after getting the Night Pearl, he would not entangle again and would leave first.
When he recovers from his injuries, he will seek revenge from them.
"We count to three, you throw the night pearl over, and I will let you go." Xie Xiu said.
"Okay" Leng Shaoting responded. He was not afraid of the evil cultivator being deceitful. Even if he was, he had to do as he said.
"one two three."
When the evil cultivator counted to three, Leng Shaoting readily threw the Ye Mingzhu over, deliberately throwing it far behind him. The evil cultivator immediately let go of Xu Jingchen, but caught Ye Mingzhu.
After Xu Jingchen was let go, he immediately rolled aside to avoid falling into the hands of the evil cultivator and becoming his hostage. Next time, there would be nothing to trade.
It would be terrible if the other party asked Leng Shaoting to do whatever he wanted.
However, at the same time, Leng Shaoting also rushed over and pointed his gun at the evil cultivator at the same time. He fired with a "bang" and the bullet shot towards the evil cultivator's hand.
Although the evil cultivator felt the danger approaching, his reaction was a little slow due to his injuries, and he was hit by the incoming bullet. He trembled in pain, and the Night Pearl missed him.
When he wanted to catch it with his other hand, Leng Shaoting fired another shot, forcing him to dodge. After dodging, he naturally couldn't hold the luminous pearl, and the luminous pearl fell to the ground.
"You..." The evil cultivator was extremely angry. This mortal actually went back on his word.
But Leng Shaoting was about to come to him. If he really got entangled with him, it would be difficult to escape, so it was impossible to take away the Ye Mingzhu.
Therefore, the evil cultivator gritted his teeth, became cruel, and simply ran away without even asking for Ye Mingzhu.
Leng Shaoting didn't chase him, not to mention that he might not be able to catch him. He still had three injured comrades here! What if he leaves and the evil cultivator tries to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but suddenly turns back and hurts them
Simply, the other party did not take away the Night Pearl.
Leng Shaoting picked up the night pearl from the ground. When holding the night pearl, Leng Shaoting still felt the spiritual energy seeping into his body, but very little. Although Xu Jingchen and others were seriously injured, they all took spiritual energy crystals, so it was nothing serious. They just needed to rest for a while before going back.
Although Leng Shaoting's spiritual energy crystals had been used up long ago, he had absorbed Ye Mingzhu's spiritual energy, so his injuries were almost healed.
"Boss, who is that person? Not only is he very powerful, but he also looks weird and full of evil aura. Also, why was he suddenly knocked away when he hit you?" Chen Meng asked doubtfully.
Not only Chen Meng, but Ai Weishun was also full of doubts.
As for Xu Jingchen, he didn't know how that evil cultivator was knocked away, but he knew that it was an evil cultivator and not an ordinary person, but he didn't say a word because Gu Ning said that he couldn't say anything casually.
"I don't know either." Leng Shaoting didn't say anything for the time being, and he didn't blush when he lied: "But don't make any noise about this matter for now. I will tell you after I have investigated it thoroughly. And don't force yourself when you meet such a person in the future. Come forward and let me know first.”
The so-called investigation was only after asking Gu Ning. He would not tell them casually without Gu Ning's consent.
Moreover, their strength is so different from that of the evil cultivators that it would be like flying eggs against a rock, so if they confront them rashly, it will be a disaster.
"Okay" they all said in unison. Since Leng Shaoting said he didn't know, they naturally didn't ask any more questions, because asking would be in vain.
Moreover, the other party is really capable of changing their attitude. They are not self-aware people, so they naturally know not to confront each other rashly.
In order not to appear special and be suspected, Xu Jingchen also responded.
"I need to take this luminous pearl back and study it. When someone asks, just say that I didn't find it." Leng Shaoting said. He needs to study the luminous pearl. How can he absorb the spiritual energy in it
Why can he absorb the spiritual energy here? And after absorbing the spiritual energy of the Night Pearl, his swollen Dantian was immediately relieved.
"Yes" several people responded.
After they had almost rested, they left.
The next morning, Gu Ning went to the airport and returned to Haishi.
When I arrived at Haishi, I turned on my phone and saw Yu Zi's missed call, and then I called her back.
"Boss" Yu Zi shouted as soon as the call was connected, her voice clearly filled with excitement.
Gu Ning was also infected by it, smiled, and asked, "Is there any good news? You can hear the excitement in his voice."
"Yes! I, didn't I tell you before that my teacher signed me up for the Paris Fashion Design Competition? I was shortlisted for the top ten. Ranked eighth, although it is relatively low, but the teacher said that I am a newcomer It is rare to be a finalist in such an international competition for the first time, and the follow-up development is very broad. Moreover, those who are among the top ten can appear in the fashion show, and then the fashion show will Broadcast to the whole world. The results of my domestic competition have also come out, and I won third place. If I can also be selected by the Paris fashion industry, then it is possible that both of my works will appear in the fashion show, but This is still uncertain..." Yu Zi said, making no secret of her excitement. She never thought that she would have such a day.
Her biggest wish was to have more people like her designs, sell more gifts, and make her life easier.
But after meeting Gu Ning, everything changed. Her trajectory was getting better and better.
