Chapter 192 - 192 192 Did you notice it too
?Chapter 192: Chapter 192 Did you notice it too? Chapter 192: Chapter 192 Did you notice it too? Luo Ning didn’t keep asking what Shi Ji had been through all these years.
“The curse on you is deep, and it looks like it has been for some time, so it’s not going to be easy to break.”
With her current strength, she still couldn’t completely solve Shi Ji’s curse problem.
However, she already felt the bottleneck of a soon-to-come level up, and once she advanced to the Postnatal Realm, it would be simple for her to help him.
Shi Ji smiled, “No worries, I’m not in a hurry.”
Being hard to solve also meant he could spend more time in contact with Luo Ning.
“I’ll give you a jade Peace Pendant in a while. After you wear it, it can suppress the outbreak of the curse, and you won’t faint from heart ailment anymore,” Luo Ning said.
“Then come see me for acupuncture every once in a while to adjust your body, before the final spell removal,” Luo Ning added.
Shi Ji nodded, “Okay, I believe in you.”
Luo Ning pulled up a QR code, “Let’s exchange contact information so I can notify you before the acupuncture sessions.”
Shi Ji scanned the QR code, adding her as a friend, “Alright.”
Luo Ning thought for a moment and asked, “By the way, why did you say earlier that Bo Xiangxiang isn’t a simple character?”
Shi Ji replied, “She has someone backing her, and there’s something on her that attracts a certain crowd.”
Luo Ning raised an eyebrow, “Are you talking about her Luck?”
Shi Ji was taken aback, “You noticed it too?”
He had seen Bo Xiangxiang earlier and noticed the thick Luck around her.
Such a person was considered an excellent vessel, no wonder she attracted attention from certain individuals.
Luo Ning was even more surprised, “You can see it too?”
Shi Ji then realized he had let something slip but didn’t hide it any longer, “Yes, I can see.”
Suddenly, Luo Ning reached out and grabbed Shi Ji’s arm, turned his palm up, and then tapped a few spots.
Soon, a faint red talisman symbol appeared on Shi Ji’s hand.
Luo Ning let go of his hand, looking at him with a complex expression, “Are you a wizard?”
Shi Ji gave a bitter smile, “Not exactly, but I know a bit.”
Luo Ning spoke with deep meaning, “You’re not bad, a CEO of a listed company and a wizard.”
As for his identity within the International Black Alliance, she didn’t expose.
Shi Ji smiled at her, “You’re almost the same.”
Luo Ning asked, “When are you leaving National Treasure Town?”
Shi Ji replied, “I’ll leave tomorrow. I’m moving the company to develop domestically, so there’s a lot to do.”
“Then I’ll give you the jade accessory after I return to the Imperial Capital. For tomorrow, I’ll give you a talisman to wear.”
Luo Ning paused, “Don’t use witchcraft recently no matter what, or the curse will backlash even more fiercely.”
Shi Ji nodded, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
He added, “If you need anything, you can come find me too.”
“Sure,” Luo Ning nodded.
After sitting for a while longer, Luo Ning got up and returned to the inn.
After walking upstairs, she saw Ji Xinghang standing at the door to her room.
“What are you doing?”
Ji Xinghang replied, “Waiting for you.”
He asked, “Did you go to see that Shi Ji?”
Luo Ning didn’t deny it, “Yes, what about it?”
Ji Xinghang said, “He’s not a good person, always pretending to be weak to gain your sympathy. Don’t be fooled.”
When he had left before, that guy had taken the opportunity to get close to Luo Ning, acting like an underling.
He could see right through the other man’s intentions.
Luo Ning gave him a cold look, “You sure are nosy.”
Ji Xinghang looked at her with a sense of grievance, “Why won’t you just listen to me?”
Luo Ning said helplessly, “I trust you, he has ulterior motives, enough already.”
“I’ll be careful, thank you!”
She had never realized before that Ji Xinghang was so meddlesome.
Ji Xinghang still felt wronged, but he didn’t dare to show it, “Then be careful.”
“Mhm, I’m going back to my room to rest now, good night!”
Luo Ning waved at him, opened the door, and went inside.
Ji Xinghang sighed and turned to go downstairs.
Then he encountered Lu Xun, who had just come out of his room.
He suddenly invited, “Mr. Lu, care to join me for a drink?”
Lu Xun raised an eyebrow, “What are you up to?”
Although Ji Xinghang disliked Lu Xun, he disliked Shi Ji even more, “Just want to chat with you, you probably don’t want Shi Ji getting close to Ningning either.”
Lu Xun chuckled lightly, “I respect Luo Ning’s choices. If she wants to be in contact with Shi Ji, I won’t oppose it or try to sabotage it.”
“Even if that kid is indeed quite disagreeable.” He could feel that Shi Ji harbored ulterior motives for Luo Ning, and he certainly liked her.
But he couldn’t say that he was Luo Ning’s boyfriend, and even if they were together, he didn’t want to interfere with her friendships.
Moreover, with Luo Ning being so intelligent and calm, knowing about Shi Ji’s identity as the leader of the International Black Alliance from their time on the deserted island, how could she possibly be deceived by Shi Ji?
He trusted her anyway.
“You should stop doing so many unnecessary things,” he said with a meaningful glance at Ji Xinghang before walking past him.
Ji Xinghang stared at Lu Xun’s retreating figure in a daze, then began to reflect on whether he was being a bit too self-absorbed.
No wonder Luo Ning saw Lu Xun in a different light now. This guy really was a schemer.
After all the guests and students had gone into their rooms, Bo Xiangxiang slipped out quietly from the inn and went looking for Shi Ji.
She missed his body.
But as soon as she arrived at the inn, Shi Ji’s bodyguard informed her that he had gone out, so she could only leave unhappily.
Shi Ji stood upstairs, watching through the gap in the curtains as Bo Xiangxiang left, before he went to take a shower.
The next day, Shi Ji left National Treasure Town early in the morning, sending only a message to Luo Ning.
The production team continued to lead everyone to National Treasure Mountain.
This time the car stopped at the gate of “National Martial Arts Academy.”
Seeing it was the Martial Arts Institute, Bo Xiangxiang’s eyes shone with excitement.
It was finally her turn to excel.
Teacher Ji smiled and said, “Teacher Ji and Teacher Bao are good at this, you two give it a try.”
Bo Xiangxiang feigned shyness, “Then I’ll give it a try, I hope I can help everyone enter the doors of the Martial Arts Institute.”
Compared to her, Ji Xinghang appeared much more indifferent, “Okay, I’d like to test my level of martial arts as well.”
Ni Xinxuan couldn’t stand Bo Xiangxiang’s pretense, tugging at Luo Ning’s arm and whispering, “Are you going to give it a try?”
Before, Luo Ning and Lu Xun had said they would.
Luo Ning smiled and shook her head, “No need, let the two of them try first.”
Ni Xinxuan didn’t insist, “Alright, I’ll wait and see how that little white flower performs.”
She believed that National Essence Culture should come from a genuine love for it, yet she hadn’t seen much passion for martial arts from Bo Xiangxiang.
Soon, the gate was knocked open.
A teenage boy and a girl opened the door.
The girl smiled warmly at everyone and said, “Welcome to National Martial Arts Academy, please come in!”
Clearly, they had been expecting the group’s arrival.
Everyone followed them inside.
The boy said, “To pass the gate is simple. If any of you can use Chinese Martial Arts to defeat one of us, that will suffice.”
