Chapter 21 Urban Superpower Dragon Aotian
Black Phoenix: I remember you mentioned before that the girl who claimed to have prophetic powers was the second daughter of the Gao family. I have heard from Chen Luo that the Gao family has been very active recently. Take the Blood Moon Emperor's oozing blood incident a while ago as an example. The Gao family gained a lot of benefits from it.
Tang Lingnan: What happened?
Black Phoenix: Are you stupid? This must be related to that girl. The Gao family has basically mixed in all the extreme objects that have appeared in the entire Jiuzhou in recent days. When the strange domain and the present world are about to merge, there are already many magical objects. But this Gao family is too prophetic. I think I was short-sighted before. That girl is still magical.
Black Phoenix: The Gao family must be making a big move by doing this, and Qingcheng, as the Gao family's base camp, is bound to be in turmoil.
Tang Lingnan: ...not really.
Black Phoenix: Oh, not really. Since you don’t take it seriously, why don’t I come back and take charge? After all, if something happens to you and my son, what will we do? I think if I am here, the Gao family will not be able to cause any trouble.
Tang Lingnan: No, no, please don’t, I understand, I promise to keep it in mind
…
Tang Lingnan put away her phone, feeling very worried. But before she got worried, she really wanted to know one thing.
It was not surprising that Dark Phoenix adapted to modern culture so quickly. She had no doubts about her proficiency in using her phone. However, there was a physical problem.
How on earth does Black Phoenix manage to type with such big and sharp claws? What kind of screen can withstand such sharp claws? You know, even Feng Yao is still so young, but his claws can easily scratch a porcelain bowl. Tang Lingnan had to replace all his bowls with stainless steel ones overnight, as her poor wallet couldn't withstand such scratches from the bowls.
Alas, I dare not ask, maybe it is some kind of Kyushu black technology.
Putting the nagging doubts aside, Tang Lingnan did take Black Phoenix's words to heart, and she pondered secretly.
No wonder Gao Rujiao disappeared for two months. According to Mo Bin and Qian Yi, the Gao family has been expanding at an incredible speed during this period. Whether it is a large amount of funds from unknown sources or a more intensive recruitment of people with special abilities, it can be said to be extremely bold and even arrogant.
Aren't the Gao family afraid of taking too big a step and getting into trouble?
After thinking for a long time and still unable to figure out the reason, Tang Lingnan chose to let herself go. Forget it, even Mr. Mo, who had been in the business world for half his life, couldn't figure out what the head of the Mo family was doing. It was normal for her, a business novice, not to understand it.
However, if she can't find a business reason, can't she look for the reason from the people?
Now she was more inclined to believe that Gao Rujiao was reincarnated. Apart from anything else, it was impossible for her personality to not change after traveling through time. The old fox, the head of the Gao family, must have seen it. She didn't believe that he would so easily believe and let go of the ghost in his daughter's body.
Well, what if it is because he really saw it, but because the benefits are too great, he is unwilling to let it go, so he has actually been under house arrest in disguise for the past two months
It's not impossible, and it seems to make sense.
Tang Lingnan fell into deep thought, but she heard that the head of the Gao family was particularly loving with his deceased wife, so it shouldn't be like this. She hesitated, but in the end her intuition told her that it was more likely to be rebirth.
However, since the second daughter of the Gao family was most likely reborn, Tang Lingnan also had some guesses about the suspicious behavior of her deskmate, and her eyes sank slightly.
Who stipulated that there could only be one rebirth?
What's more, from her perspective, Ning Zhi was very likely to be reborn.
After weighing his own strength again, Tang Lingnan considered it carefully.
At present, Qian Yi and Jian Yiyi have also awakened their special abilities. Qian Yi's is the special space, and Jian Yiyi's is the special illusion. So it seems that the least cool one is Mo Bin.
Pulling her thoughts back from almost wandering off again, Tang Lingnan continued to think. With her full support, she was certain that the level of improvement in the abilities of all her people was absolutely far ahead of the rest. With their current strength, they should be able to protect themselves in a small place like Qingcheng, and they wouldn't need to call back the Black Phoenix.
Although the Black Phoenix did not mention it explicitly, Tang Lingnan still realized from indirect inquiries that the situation over there was not optimistic. If it was lost, millions of lives might be lost.
As for her, Tang Lingnan had also considered it.
If Feng Yao and she are bound together by soul, according to the system, if she dies in this world, only her body will die, and her soul will be extradited by the system to continue working in the next world to repay her debts. A worker is a working soul, and a worker who does not repay his debts will always be a worker.
Tang Lingnan shed tears for the sad future that she could see with her own eyes. However, this would create a loophole in her contract with the Black Phoenix.
In other words, if she died, Feng Yao might not necessarily come back, which would be equivalent to binding the Black Phoenix to Jiuzhou. The Black Phoenix had made an Origin Oath, and since Feng Yao was not dead, she must abide by the oath. This way, Jiuzhou would make a huge profit.
Tang Lingnan felt that he was indeed extremely smart and had considered every aspect thoroughly.
If Ning Zhi is really reborn, then her purpose of coming to Qingcheng No. 7 Middle School is very clear. Long Aotian, who is recognized even by the system, will surely achieve earth-shaking things in the future. Isn't this a ready-made script of "When the big boss is weak, I become the white moonlight"? This Tang Lingnan is familiar, it's Ning Zhi, and it seems that she doesn't know who the big boss is.
After all, Tang Chumo came to her classroom to pick her up several times, but Ning Zhi didn't react at all.
Thinking of her brother, Tang Lingnan suddenly had a good idea.
"Lingnan, where are you going?" Ning Zhi followed Tang Lingnan curiously. After spending some time with her, she had completely let down her guard against Tang Lingnan. She thought Tang Lingnan was just an ordinary girl.
Tang Lingnan skipped ahead, leading the way. Her cheerful voice rang out, "I'll take you to a great place I found."
She turned around and blinked, "It's a secret base."
Ning Zhi laughed and was a little expectant. After all, Tang Lingnan could be said to be her only friend in Qingcheng. She was very curious about the little gift her friend gave her.
Since that was the case, Ning Zhi followed Tang Lingnan obediently and stepped into the trap step by step like an innocent little white rabbit.
Silently, the fog thickened. Ning Zhi was distracted and when she opened her eyes again, she could not see Tang Lingnan. She immediately became anxious. How could this happen? How could such a thick fog suddenly appear here?
She looked around carefully, but the white fog completely obscured her vision and she couldn't see anything clearly.
Could it be that the fragments of the strange domain suddenly overlapped with the real world?
Although this was not the time point when the large-scale strange domain appeared that Ning Zhi knew in his previous life, but considering that before this, the micro strange domain often overlapped with the present world, Ning Zhi's expression suddenly became a little anxious. You know, even in a micro strange domain, it is not easy for ordinary people to survive.
She gritted her teeth, but kindness and worry prevailed in the end. No one retreated. Small leopard ears appeared on her head. Ning Zhi was actually an animal-type mutant. At level 1, she could transform into a leopard. Her speed, hearing, reaction, and physical fitness all increased rapidly.
Now, the most important thing is to find Tang Lingnan!
She pricked up her ears and moved them sensitively, listening to the various information coming from the wind. Her nose moved slightly, her eyes lit up, and after determining a direction, she ran at full speed.
The leopard is also one of the kings of the forest. Although the white fog greatly reduces its vision, its hearing and sense of smell are not affected.
Ning Zhi jumped quickly on the trees, her anxiety making her ignore the abnormality here. Even the forest in the strange area should not be so quiet before it is cleared. There is not even the shadow of a bird.
Hidden in the white fog, the red-eyed crows stared quietly at Ning Zhi's jumping figure. They silently blended into the shadows and followed.
At the end of the road, Ning Zhi finally saw Tang Lingnan. She was extremely happy and shouted loudly:
"Lingnan, hurry——" Follow me!
Suddenly, her figure stopped abruptly, because Tang Lingnan turned around and looked at her with a complicated and incomprehensible look.
Tang Lingnan really didn't expect that Ning Zhi actually had such a great liking for her and chose to find her instead of running away by herself. She asked herself that during this period of time she had actually been deliberately catering to Ning Zhi's words and observing her every move. She felt quite ashamed when she thought about it.
So, she withdrew her previous idea and chose to confront Ning Zhi face to face. She found that perhaps she had been overly wary of Ning Zhi.
Ning Zhi pursed her lips tightly, she looked around, and suddenly realized something, so, is this really the case?
Tang Lingnan opened his mouth in vain, wanting to explain, but after thinking about it, there was nothing to explain, so he closed his mouth again and looked at Ning Zhi in silence.
The two looked at each other for a long time without speaking. Ning Zhi's ears, which had been erected high, slowly drooped down. Her eyes were red, but even so, she still looked at Tang Lingnan stubbornly, wanting to know the answer to an answer she didn't know.
Tang Chumo and the other three who were hiding nearby: ...
Mo Bin was puzzled: "Why do I feel that the atmosphere here seems a little off? Didn't they say they were here to interrogate someone?"
Boy, could you please be more discerning?
Jian Yiyi used his special ability to cover up the voices of several people. He looked at Boss Tang and said, "Boss, what should we do now? We can't use force."
Tang Chumo frowned slightly. He took a step forward and moved behind Tang Lingnan in the blink of an eye.
Tang Lingnan was startled, but relaxed when she sensed a familiar breath. Tang Chumo held Tang Lingnan's shoulders, looked at Ning Zhi calmly, and broke the silence: "Ning Zhi, right?"
Ning Zhi looked at the man who suddenly appeared vigilantly. She looked at Tang Lingnan, but saw that Tang Lingnan was only staring at the man and put her aside.
Bro, didn't I tell you I'd handle it myself? Why did you come out?
Tang Lingnan stared at Tang Chumo, who had acted on his own initiative, angrily, condemning him. Her guilty mood instantly disappeared. You know, Tang Chumo might be Ning Zhi's target. Who knows what Ning Zhi's special ability is? What if he can force love?
Compared with Ning Zhi, her brother is of course several times more important.
The crow landed on Tang Chumo's shoulder. He chuckled and said politely, "It was me who wanted my sister to invite you over. After all, you've been looking for me yourself, haven't you?"
