Chapter 2360: Leave with Gu Ning

Therefore, the man wanted to know whether Gu Ning had a relationship with Shangguan Yang. If she had, it meant that Shangguan Yang was still alive which was shocking news!
Thinking that Shangguan Yang might still be alive, the woman and the man got excited.
Although they controlled themselves, Gu Ning still noticed their reaction. She guessed that they might have a relationship with Shangguan Yang too.
They were wearing clothes from a sect, but Gu Ning didn’t know which sect they belonged to. However, now Gu Ning thought that they might be disciples from the Kunlun Sect.
If they weren’t disciples of the Kunlun Sect, they should be from other sects. Their master must have a good relationship with Shangguan Yang, so they got to know Shangguan Yang.
However, that was just Gu Ning’s guess, so she didn’t say anything. If she was wrong, it would be embarrassing.
Gu Ning didn’t rush to tell them about her relationship with Shangguan Yang. Instead, she only answered their question. “Yes.”
“In that case, is he still alive?” the man asked. It also proved that he knew Shangguan Yang.
“Of course, he’s fine and healthy,” said Gu Ning. Shangguan Yang now lived a good life and he had made some friends in the modern society. He often had fun with them and even spent less time on cultivation.
Anyway, one must enjoy himself during his life. It would be meaningless to live a long life, but be unable to enjoy his life.
“What’s your relationship with him?” asked the man.
“We’re teacher and disciple,” said Gu Ning honestly.
“What?”
Both the woman and the man were shocked. It turned out that this young girl was Shangguan Yang’s disciple.
In that case, they actually belonged to the same sect. However, they didn’t believe it just because Gu Ning said so.
“It seems that you’re familiar with my master?” Gu Ning asked.
“Yeah, he’s senior to us. We’re also disciples of the Kunlun Sect,” said the man. When he said that, he stared straight at Gu Ning to observe her reaction.
To be frank, he simply wanted to see whether Gu Ning would panic after knowing that. If she panicked, she must be lying. If not, they might believe her words.
Gu Ning was a little surprised. She had guessed, but unexpectedly it was true.
“If so, I guess we belong to the same sect. You don’t need to be suspicious of me then. I know you still have doubts, but I can prove it after daybreak. Anyway, do you dare to go out with me now? We can’t prove anything here,” said Gu Ning. She tried to get the woman and man out of this ancient grave.
“Of course!” the man said. He accepted Gu Ning’s challenge, and was persuaded by her.
Like Gu Ning said, if they didn’t go out, how should they prove what they just said?
Even if Gu Ning really lied to them, they should be able to handle it given their abilities.
Gu Ning smiled with satisfaction. “Very good. Let me introduce myself now. My name is Gu Ning.”
“My name’s Jiang Liluo. She’s junior to me. Her name is Si Jin,” said the man, who was Jiang Liluo.
“Oh, can you tell me what’s behind this stone door?” Gu Ning pointed at the stone door and asked curiously.
Jiang Liluo and Si Jin looked upset. “Our master’s coffin is behind it. Because of the barrier, nobody can get inside. Our master was seriously injured that year, and he was dying, so we built this tomb and wanted to bury ourselves with him. However, our master didn’t allow us to do that. He cast a spell on us with the Taoist talisman, so that we could live for this long,” said Jiang Liluo.
“Oh, I see.” Gu Ning also felt a little sad after hearing the story. She went ahead and bent three times in front of the stone door. “Disciple Gu Ning, trained by Shangguan Yang, the elder of the Kunlun Sect, I’m so sorry for bothering you. Please forgive me.”
Gu Ning didn’t come in by accident this time, but for a purpose, so she felt guilty.
Jiang Liluo and Si Jin were displeased with Gu Ning’s intrusion, but they woke up due to their intrusion, so they couldn’t blame Gu Ning for that.
After that, Gu Ning walked back to Jiang Liluo and Si Jin, then said, “What else do you need to prepare?”
“Nothing, we just need to knock our heads against the ground three times to our master before we leave with you,” said Jiang Liluo. Although they were filled with sadness, their master was already dead, so they had to get over it.
Jiang Liluo and Si Jin knelt down before the stone door, then knocked their heads against the ground three times. “Master, since we’re awake now, we can’t stay here and keep your company any longer. Don’t worry, we’ll come back and visit you.”
Once they finished, Jiang Liluo and Si Jin knocked their heads against the ground three times again before standing up.
“Alright, we can leave now.” They picked up their swords.
Following Gu Ning, they escorted Nicholas, Ma Shibiao, and the other men out.
Nicholas and Ma Shibiao were too injured to walk on their own, so Jiang Liluo and Si Jin dragged them.
Gu Ning walked at the front to lead them out, while the monster fox guarded the other three men who could still walk behind Gu Ning.
Jiang Liluo and Si Jin weren’t surprised that Gu Ning was able to find the chamber where they had been, since strong cultivators could find it with their senses.
What they didn’t know was that Gu Ning actually had a pair of Jade Eyes which was more useful than her senses.
Before they left, they filled the hole, because they didn’t want other people to interrupt their master.
On their way out, Gu Ning hid her breath as a cultivator, which reminded Jiang Liluo and Si Jin of her strange skill.
Therefore, Jiang Liluo asked, “Junior Gu, can I ask you about something?”
“Sure,” said Gu Ning. She knew what Jiang Liluo wanted to know about her.
“Can you tell me your level? How can you completely hide your breath as a cultivator?” Jiang Liluo asked.
