Chapter 1796 I can't help this
"You didn't lie to me?" The cultivator reacted and immediately became confused. Although there was nothing wrong with Gu Ning's performance, she might be pretending! After all, she is not an ordinary person!
"Why would I lie to you!" Gu Ning said, with a speechless look, as if she was unhappy because of being questioned.
"Since you don't know that person, how does he know that you know someone from the Imperial Palace Museum?" asked the cultivator.
"I don't know you either, but you know me! There are so many people who know me that I don't. You can find a lot of information about me online." Gu Ning asked back, and then explained: "Of course, the other party said that because he saw me in contact with people from the museum."
Although what Gu Ning said made sense, the cultivator still didn't completely believe it and continued to ask, "Then you should know the person's name, age, male or female, and mobile phone number! If you don't know, how do you keep in touch?"
"Hey! Why do I feel like you are interrogating a criminal from your tone? You have to understand that you are seeking my help. Besides, it is very unethical to disclose other people's information without their consent!" Gu Ning said unhappily.
"I'm sorry. I lost my composure because I was too impatient. I hope Miss Gu doesn't mind." The cultivator apologized immediately. Just as Gu Ning said, he was seeking her help, so his attitude should be better: "The Jade Dragon Phoenix Cloud Patterned Bi is really important to me. I hope you can help me. Otherwise, you can contact the other party first and mention this matter to him and see how he responds."
"Okay!" Gu Ning responded. In order to divert the cultivator's attention away from himself, Gu Ning didn't mind acting with him.
This cultivator didn't have any ill will towards her, so there was no need for Gu Ning to confront him directly. If she did that, she would be looking for trouble.
Gu Ning took out his cell phone and dialed a number. This was Tang Aining's phone. Because the phone was in his own space, the call could not be connected when he called it.
"It can't be connected for the time being. There's nothing I can do about it." Gu Ning said helplessly.
The cultivator's face turned extremely ugly, and he also heard the voice of "temporarily unavailable" coming from the other party's phone. Although he thought that Gu Ning might have just made a random call, he didn't want to bring it up directly.
The cultivator thought that it was possible that all of this was directed and acted by Gu Ning himself, so the cultivator thought that it would be better to leave it like this for the time being and continue to monitor Gu Ning to see if there were any new discoveries.
Even if we want to use force, now is not the time.
"Then I wonder if Miss Gu could keep an eye out for me. If you get through and get an answer, please let me know." The cultivator said, then took out his business card and handed it to Gu Ning: "This is my business card."
"Okay." Gu Ning naturally agreed, but whether to do it afterwards was another matter.
Of course, Gu Ning was not naive enough to think that the cultivator would completely believe what she said. Perhaps he was just hoping that what she said might be true, so if he took a step back, there might be unexpected results.
And even if what she said was false, he could still continue to follow her and see how the situation develops before making other plans. After all, he now knew her school and dormitory, so he was not afraid of not being able to find her.
However, if he were to break up with Gu Ning now, and if what Gu Ning said was true, then the result might be more harm than good.
Despite this, Gu Ning didn't care, because no matter how much he cared, nothing would change.
"Miss Gu, do you want to go out with me now?" asked the cultivator.
"My friend and I have made an appointment to come here for an adventure, so I won't leave for the time being. Mr. Dongfang, you go first!" Gu Ning said.
After receiving the other party's business card, Gu Ning knew the other party's name, Dongfang Qi.
His last name is Dongfang, so he is most likely from the Dongfang family in the cultivation world.
Because of Dongfang Ziyu, she didn't have a good impression of the Dongfang family. Although Dongfang Qi treated her well, he had his own purpose, so Gu Ning didn't have a good impression of him either.
She just tries to avoid conflict, because it will do her no good if she does.
"Okay then! I'll leave first. I'll trouble you with this matter, Miss Gu." Although Dongfang Qi doubted the truthfulness of Gu Ning's words, he would not question it. If he wanted to know, he could just monitor her secretly.
Although he was discovered while following Gu Ning these days, he felt that as long as he stayed away from her, he would not be discovered.
Then, the cultivator left.
Gu Ning watched the cultivator walk away before she began to observe the well. Of course, the cultivator was still within her senses, which was within her expectations. However, as long as he didn't come over, there would be no problem.
Gu Ning walked to the well, opened his jade pupils and peered into the well, landing on the two skeletons.
Next to the two skeletons, there were two jade pendants scattered around, and several pieces of jewelry were scattered around the head of one skeleton.
Judging from the shape of the skeleton, one skeleton was lying in the arms of another skeleton. The skeleton lying on the bottom was more sturdy, obviously a male. The skeleton lying in the male skeleton's arms was smaller, and there were several pieces of jewelry scattered around its head, obviously a female.
Seeing this, Gu Ning guessed that this was a pair of star-crossed lovers.
Moreover, there was a lot of evil spirit in the well, which showed that he died unjustly and unwillingly.
Gu Ning looked at the pair of skeletons, and suddenly, this scene appeared in front of him.
Right next to this well, a man in guard uniform was stabbed by a sword, and then kicked by a foot, and the guard fell into the well.
Immediately afterwards, a woman in gorgeous Manchu clothing also jumped in, and the scene in front of me ended here.
Judging from the woman’s clothing, she should be a concubine!
Suddenly, Gu Ning imagined a melodramatic plot. The emperor brought his concubines to the villa to escape the summer heat. Then a concubine was discovered having an affair with a guard. The guard was beheaded, and the concubine committed suicide for love... Although this was a plot made up by Gu Ning, he felt that it was almost correct.
If this is the case, the consequence is understandable.
Of course, there may be other reasons, but no matter what the reason is, it has nothing to do with her and it is already a matter of history.
Gu Ning was not greedy enough to take treasures as soon as he saw them, so he had no intention of going down the well to get those things.
