Chapter 2320: There Is Something Wrong with Him
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The city center wasn’t close to Xianyun Mountain, but there was little traffic on the road late at night, so they soon arrived.
Xianyun Mountain was very scary late at night with wild animal howls everywhere. If ordinary people came, they would certainly be frightened and wouldn’t dare to go in. However, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting weren’t bothered. They climbed up at their fastest speed.
Once they reached the cave, they went into it without a pause.
Although Leng Shaoting was mostly convinced by Gu Ning, he still had doubts. However, when he felt the wind in the cave and noticed that the wind was getting stronger, he gave up some of his doubts.
It was indeed abnormal for there to be such a strong wind in this cave.
He also had the idea that it might be a publicity stunt made by the scenic spot to attract visitors. However, if it was really a publicity stunt, it should be done during the day when there were visitors, or it would be meaningless.
When they went to the place where the steel bars were welded, Leng Shaoting obviously felt his body become cold. After all, the current Leng Shaoting wasn’t the Leng Shaoting after he became a cultivator, and his physical fitness was naturally much worse.
Gu Ning was also worried about that. Leng Shaoting wasn’t a cultivator now. Could he get in?
No matter what, they had to try. If they couldn’t get in, she would tell him to go out. Whatever happened, she wouldn’t allow any accidents to happen to him.
“How do I get in?” Leng Shaoting asked, looking at the welded hole, frowning slightly. They didn’t have the tools to open it now.
“Leave it to me,” said Gu Ning and a dagger appeared in her hand. She put magical energy into it, and cut the steel bars in an instant.
Witnessing that, Leng Shaoting was shocked again. He didn’t expect this dagger to be so sharp.
It couldn’t be the effect of this dagger, so Gu Ning must be very strong. She said that she was a cultivator, so it should be easy for her to cut open the steel bars.
After that, Leng Shaoting followed Gu Ning inside.
As they walked ahead, Leng Shaoting felt it was becoming more and more difficult for him to go ahead. Seeing that, Gu Ning protected him from the strong wind.
“Are you alright?” Leng Shaoting asked. Although he felt a little uneasy with a woman protecting him, he didn’t take Gu Ning lightly.
He knew that there were many strong women, especially in the army. In addition, Gu Ning wasn’t an ordinary girl. She was a cultivator, so it was very normal that she was stronger than him.
At this time, Gu Ning could still go ahead against the strong wind, while he could barely move a step forward. Therefore, in order to not be a drag on Gu Ning, Leng Shaoting could only hide behind her.
Due to the help of Gu Ning, Leng Shaoting could go farther ahead. However, Gu Ning could only block half of the wind because she was little and Leng Shaoting was tall.
As a result, as they went further ahead, it was increasingly difficult for Leng Shaoting to move ahead, so Gu Ning decided to help him by pulling his hand.
Leng Shaoting subconsciously wanted to get rid of her hand, but Gu Ning said, “The wind is becoming stronger. I must hold you tightly.”
Hearing that, Leng Shaoting didn’t get rid of her, but he soon got used to it perhaps because Gu Ning told him that they were a couple. He only felt a little embarra.s.sed, but he had to tolerate it in order to keep on going ahead.
Gu Ning pulled Leng Shaoting ahead, so it became difficult for her as well, but she wouldn’t give up. She was determined to go back to their life in a year. She wanted Leng Shaoting to be the same Leng Shaoting she knew.
Right as they struggled to step forward, they finally saw the barrier, which was only ten meters away from them.
After a glance at the barrier, Leng Shaoting was shocked and was more convinced by Gu Ning’s words. He also hoped that he could travel a year later in time with Gu Ning through this barrier.
Even though he knew nothing about himself after a year and could barely imagine it, he sincerely hoped that they could go back to their life.
However, when they were five meters away from the barrier, a person showed up at the front. It was Leng Shaoting, and he was still wearing the same clothes when they were absorbed into the barrier.
Gu Ning was struck dumb for a second, then her face lit up. “Shaoting!”
The Leng Shaoting who was pulled by Gu Ning was astonished. Looking at the man who looked exactly the same as him, he thought that the man must be him a year later.
“Ningning, let him go. Leave with me. We can’t stay here too long,” Leng Shaoting said to Gu Ning, standing before the barrier.
“Do we need to send him back?” Gu Ning asked. She was talking about the Leng Shaoting pulled by her.
For some reason, she had a strange feeling that this Leng Shaoting would be in trouble once she let him go.
“No need. What happens here is the past. It doesn’t matter. As long as we enter this barrier, everything in this place will become the past,” said Leng Shaoting.
Gu Ning agreed on that, so she let the Leng Shaoting go, but he turned to catch her hand. Gu Ning was surprised and turned to look at him. Before she could say anything, he said, “I think there is something wrong with him.”
He was talking about the Leng Shaoting standing in front of the barrier. He couldn’t tell why, but he just had that feeling.
Gu Ning was taken aback. There was something wrong with that Leng Shaoting? How was it possible?
“Ningning, let him go right now. Come over here! We must leave as soon as possible.” Leng Shaoting urged her sounding anxious.
All of a sudden, Gu Ning felt that he looked very strange. Was there really something wrong with him?
Gu Ning turned to stare at him, and said, “Shaoting, let the flood dragon out. I need it.”
Once she said that aloud, it meant that she was also suspicious of Leng Shaoting. If he was really Leng Shaoting, her words would hurt him. However, Leng Shaoting’s reaction aroused her suspicion.
In such a situation, she must be careful.
Leng Shaoting frowned in displeasure, and questioned Gu Ning. “Ningning, are you suspicious of me because of him?”
Hearing his reply, Gu Ning became more suspicious of him, because Leng Shaoting would never question her like that. Instead, he would directly let the flood dragon out to prove that he was the real Leng Shaoting.
“I wasn’t suspicious of you earlier, but now I think you’re not the real Shaoting. The real Shaoting would never question me like that.. He’d just let the flood dragon out to prove himself,” said Gu Ning, looking at him coldly.
