Chapter 1215 The Returnee's Notes 289

Xie Ning stared in astonishment at the old lady's face; no wonder she had aged so quickly.

"You have taken over this body, and thus you have accepted this karma. Whether you like it or not, the rules of this world will eventually push you into Guibei Mountain."

That's why I want you to be stronger, much stronger.

She barely escaped with her life on the line.

Xie Ning's fingertips unconsciously tightened around the old lady's wrist. Even though the old lady hadn't explained it in detail, she could sense how terrifying Gui Beishan was. But, "Grandma, you should also know people in the special departments of the country. Why don't you ask them for help?"

Just like Qing Shi Town.

"Do you think Grandma is stupid? Of course she asked for help, but it's a very strange place; once you go in, you can't come out."

Because that place and their current location no longer belong to the same time and space, people can get lost there.

Seeing Xie Ning looking down at the beaded bracelet on her wrist, the old lady sighed, "They won't hurt you. If you have no choice but to enter Guibei Mountain, break the bracelet inside and keep the Soul-Stabilizing Bead. Maybe you can still escape."

Now everything is as expected. Xie Ning twitched the corner of her mouth, no longer feeling the anticipation of the Spring Festival. She only asked the old lady when she would be sent to Sect Master Fang's place.

Then she went straight back to school and continued spending time in the lab.

"Tomorrow, but I'll have to trouble you to take care of Black Egg. It's a very intelligent cat and might be able to help you. I really don't have the energy to take care of it anymore."

When we first found this kitten, it was just a tiny little thing. Now it has grown into such a majestic creature. Who could bear to part with it?

Even though Black Egg can find its own food in the wild, she was still worried, after all, it was a cat she had raised for so many years.

Xie Ning treats Heidan well; the little guy can live a very comfortable life with Xie Ning.

Xie Ning glanced at the bewildered Black Egg and whispered an "okay."

Black Egg seemed to have sensed something, and stayed close behind the old lady, even sleeping nestled at her feet when she slept.

But when we separated, he was very well-behaved and didn't make a fuss at all.

Winter in the South is like a long spring, with clear blue skies and grass that is at most ochre in color, without the bleakness of the season.

After seeing the old lady off, Xie Ning called Ouyang Lin to tell her that they wouldn't be able to get together for the Spring Festival this year.

Ouyang Lin expressed her regret but did not press for details. Xie Ning was not the type to back out at the last minute, so something must have happened.

"Master, you guessed perfectly."

Ouyang Xu glanced at Ouyang Lin, "Xie Li's calculations are the best, but I'm not bad either. I can certainly calculate it. You and your junior sister still have a lot to learn."

Especially you, although we're learning music, we can't neglect other aspects either.

The little apprentice has already been sent by her to train his skills. Ouyang Lin is also lacking in skills, but even more so in understanding the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams. However, he is very talented in music theory.

After saying that, she couldn't help but take a closer look at Ouyang Lin's complexion. "The evil energy you were exposed to last time is still affecting you. Go soak in the hot spring for a while to dispel the cold energy from your body."

Ouyang Lin responded indifferently. She felt that there was nothing wrong with her body, but her master was always worried.

Not wanting to listen to her master's nagging, Ouyang Lin turned around and made an excuse to leave. She didn't stay at the Ouyang family's residence but drove to her cousin's company.

At this moment, Ouyang Lin's cousin, Lin Shicai, came out of the meeting. He didn't see his cousin at all and just walked silently towards the office.

However, Lin Shi's assistant saw Ouyang Lin and couldn't help but shout, "Ms. Ouyang!"

The loud voice startled Lin Shi.

"Cousin, what brings you here?"

"I'm here to deliver something to you. Don't you make games? A friend of mine made a game program. What do you think? If you're interested, I'll act as the middleman."

Lin Shi subconsciously wanted to scratch his forehead, but after touching his hair which was slicked back with hair gel, he silently put his hand down.

"What game program? Let me see it first."

Then she turned and glared at her assistant, her voice so loud it almost scared him to death.
