The streets were busy and the sun was baking the city, bringing not only heat, but also restlessness.
Ning Tao came out of the office building of Blueprint Biotechnology Company. He had not gone far when a woman came up to him. Her green dress and embroidered cloth shoes were a complete contrast to the fashionable girls in short skirts and hot pants on the street.
It was Qing Zhui. She had been around Ning Tao all the time. She wouldn't have shown up if Ning Tao hadn't called her.
Maybe it was because of Qing Zhui that Tang Tianren had some scruples about taking action. If Ning Tao were alone, Tang Tianren and people of the Tang Sect would probably have taken more aggressive action.
Qing Zhui held an ice cream topped with chocolate syrup and sliced strawberries. When she got next to Ning Tao, she didn't say anything, but just kept licking the ice cream. Her pretty and delicate small mouth, and flexible small tongue attracted th
On the western hills there was a setting sun and crimson clouds. Under the orange sky, the old Sky Clinic looked like a spiritless old man, sitting on the stone steps waiting for his son home from work. Ning Tao walked across the archway of Garden Street, carrying a bunch of shopping bags, and slowly walked to the end of the street. The street in front of him was empty, and so was the part behind him. It was as quiet as a world without humans. There was something wrong with the atmosphere today. Qing Zhui was right behind Ning Tao, and her green dress danced in the wind, appearing nimble and graceful. Ning Tao didn't know how old she was, but she looked like a naive teenage girl at the moment. "Don't go back later," Ning Tao suggested. Qing Zhui nodded her head, with a smile playing across her lips, but there was a sharp look in her eyes. She also seemed to feel something wrong, and she was ready for
Yin Molan had smeared the blood as a sign of the oath with Ning Tao and promised to join forces with him against Tang Tianren. Now he had come to fulfill his promise. Under the steps of the Sky Clinic, Ning Tao, Qing Zhui and Yin Molan stood side by side. Tang Tianren glared at Yin Molan and snarled, "Yin Molan, what are you doing? We lived in peace for so many years. Are you against me today? Have you thought about the consequences of making enemies with me?" Yin Molan replied, "The Tang Sect has being strong all these years, and I has to avoid you guys. But I won't hide from anyone from now on. I will turn over the past. You asked me if I thought about the consequences of making enemies with you. Now I tell you, the consequences are either you die or I live." Ning Tao suddenly let go of Qing Zhui's hand. This was a signal. Almost the moment he moved, Qing Zhui and Yin Molan both jumped at Tang Tianren. Without T
Yin Molan left. The ice cream plan was just their thought. Ning Tao returned to the clinic to treat his wounds. Since Qing Zhui was afraid to enter the clinic, she asked Ning Tao to take her shopping bags out for her. "I have to go back and take a bath. I'm so dirty," Qing Zhui stated, but instead of leaving immediately, she looked straight at Ning Tao as if to send a message. Ning Tao said, "Then you go home early. I'll have to make some delicate perfumed cream later for tomorrow evening's charity party." "You've got so many flying needles and darts and blood on you. Don't you want someone to clean your wounds and to have a bath?" asked Qing Zhui. Ning Tao shook his head. "All right, then, I'm going home." A little disappointed, Qing Zhui left with a bunch of shopping bags. She wanted to go into the clinic to help Ning Tao with his wound, but she didn't dare to go in after being glared at by the good-evil tripod
In the party hall, Chen Tiansheng cranked up the speakers on his phone to full volume and heard Huai Kebing munching on a grape. The noise was small, but the hall was so quiet that people sitting near the stage could hear him chewing. "Go up the stage and get a microphone. I have something to talk," Huai Kebing ordered. "Yes, Young Master Huai," Chen Tiansheng said, stepping across Fan Huaying onto the stage. Fan Huaying reached out and grabbed Chen Tiansheng's arm and snapped, "What are you doing? Didn't you hear me? I ask you to get out of here!" Chen Tiansheng immediately pointed the phone's camera at Fan Huaying and said coldly, "See clearly who asks me to go to the stage. How dare you stop me?" Huai Kebing put another grape into his mouth and chewed while saying "Oh, Fan Huaying, do you have to be on the wrong side of me?" Fan Huaying replied coldly, "I'm just on the right side." "
In the North River Art House, Zhao Wushuang walked to a room. When she reached the door, she wiped the tears from her eyes and knocked. There was no respond in the room. "Brother Ning, are you in there?" Zhao Wushuang asked. A few seconds later, Ning Tao's voice came from the room. "Yes, wait a moment." Then the door opened and Ning Tao appeared in front of Zhao Wushuang. He had his medicine chest in his hand and wore a starchy suit, shiny shoes and a straight tie. He, tall and slim, with a handsome face, had a sense of affinity, which made him easy to get close to. Seeing Ning Tao, Zhao Wushuang's grievance and depression in her heart suddenly vanished into thin air, and her eyes glowed with a strange light. "Brother Ning, you look good in suit." Ning Tao smiled and said, "It's a special occasion, and I can't dress casually. I don't want to wear it normally. It's uncomfortable. All rig
There was not a sound in the morgue, and the smell of formalin filled every inch of space. Time seemed to stand still, no longer flowing. Huai Kebing lay on a bier, covered in a white shroud, from head to foot. He couldn't carry the wealth, the status, the vanity, the women, the house or the car that he had. At this point, he no longer owned anything. What would a king who had everything in life take with him when he died? In the end, all he got was a pit and a pile of dirt. At that moment, the door of the morgue opened and a man and a woman came in through the door. The woman wore a white Chinese Tang costume and held a bunch of white chrysanthemums. She was in her early fifties, but her figure and skin were so well maintained that she looked like a woman in her thirties, still retaining a graceful bearing. Her face remained expressionless, her eyes hollow. This woman was Huai Kebing's mother, Tang
The next day Ning Tao saw Zhao Wushuang and Fan Huaying off to the airport. When they met, Ning Tao and Zhao Wushuang were a little embarrassed, but neither mentioned what happened last night. "Buddy, I'm going to America in a few days, and I may ask you to do me a favor. I talk to you in advance so that you can be prepared. You must not refuse me," Fan Huaying said to Ning Tao at the security checkpoint. Ning Tao, remembering something Zhao Wushuang said last night, asked, "Are you really going to organize a group?" "It's pretty much a certainty, but I can't say much at this point," Fan Huaying said. "Okay, you can call me if you need me, but I don't have a passport or visa. If someone needs to see a doctor, you have to get him here," Ning Tao uttered. Fan Huaying did him such a big favor, and as he asked for it, Ning Tao would definitely try his best. Fan Huaying laughed and said, "See a doctor, see a doctor, it
To the villagers of Sword Pavilion Village and their female chief Lu Nan, Xuan Tianzi was just a character in a legend. It was understandable for a small village to take a legend story as a gimmick in order to attract investment to develop tourism. However, for Ning Tao, that was not a legend, and Xuan Tianzi was not a fictional character. The proof of Xuan Tianzi's existence was in his medicine chest, and it was the Soil-seeking Inkstone that could detect where the spiritual soil was. But he could not tell Lu Nan and the villagers of Sword Pavilion Village about it. Lu Nan told Ning Tao about her village while walking. Ning Tao observed the Sword Pavilion Mountain. The mountain rose to a height of three to four kilometers, and the top of the mountain was always covered with clouds, so that its complete view could not be seen. It was much higher than the surrounding mountains, but not majestic, the middle part even a little thin, like a person's "slim wai
