Chapter 134: One hundred and thirty-four, agreed to meet Chapter 134: One hundred and thirty-four, agreed to meet Song Yan Ning shook her head, “No, we didn’t see anyone. We only saw you by yourself.” She certainly wouldn’t tell Liu Qingshan that the man in black was no longer of this world.
“Then you should hurry up and go, don’t worry about me. The person who injured me is very powerful, and if he sees you, he will definitely harm you,” Liu Qingshan urged anxiously.
Suddenly thinking of something, Liu Qingshan pulled out a white stone from his pocket and handed it to Song Yan Ning, “This stone is for you.” He was going to draw the man in black away, he absolutely couldn’t let him harm Yang Lisheng and Song Yan Ning.
“Thank you, Uncle Liu!” Song Yan Ning didn’t stand on ceremony with Liu Qingshan. She had already recognized what this white stone was, it was an Empty Ice Stone, an indispensable material for making Space Artifacts. Although she already had a Storage Bag, who wouldn’t want extra materials?
“You guys go on quickly.” Liu Qingshan staggered to his feet and walked off in another direction.
“He won’t be in trouble, will he?” Yang Lisheng looked at Liu Qingshan with concern. He knew he couldn’t help much; if someone as powerful as Liu Qingshan could be injured, that individual was certainly not someone ordinary people could deal with. Plus, he had Xiao Ning with him; he couldn’t let anything happen to Xiao Ning.
“No, Uncle Liu is a good person, and good people are always lucky. Grandfather, let’s go home,” Song Yan Ning said as she pulled Yang Lisheng’s hand, heading down the mountain. She had already eliminated the man in black, removing Liu Qingshan’s trouble, and had given Liu Qingshan an elixir for his wounds. At most, he would just be in pain for a few days.
“Why are you back so early?” Li Meixiang was feeding the chickens and was surprised to see Yang Lisheng and Song Yan Ning return. Normally, they wouldn’t come back from gathering herbal medicine before evening.
“I’m tired, so I asked Grandfather to come back early,” Song Yan Ning said with a smile.
Yang Lisheng nodded in agreement. Of course, he wouldn’t mention their encounter with Liu Qingshan on the mountain, to avoid worrying his spouse.
“Go rest in the room for a bit; you have school tomorrow and can’t be late,” Li Meixiang said with a smile as she watched Song Yan Ning. The child hadn’t been gathering herbs for a long time, so she must be tired from climbing the mountain.
“Uh-huh,” Song Yan Ning nodded once and headed inside the house.
Not long after she entered the house, her phone started ringing. There was no need to guess—it was definitely a call from Qin Yushen.
Song Yan Ning took out her phone and pressed the answer button.
“What are you up to?” Qin Yushen’s voice came through the phone.
“I’ve just returned from gathering medicine with my grandfather,” Song Yan Ning said with a smile. It seemed to have become a habit of hers to talk to Qin Yushen on the phone every day.
“Why did you come back so early? Did something happen?” Qin Yushen asked. Usually, they wouldn’t return from gathering medicine until the afternoon. After all, herbs grew in the mountains, and climbing mountains and wading through streams were not quick tasks.
“Today on the mountain, I encountered Liu Qingshan. He was seriously injured,” Song Yan Ning recounted the ordeal with Liu Qingshan to Qin Yushen.
“Be more careful when you go up the mountain next time. Those Ancient Martial Sects have profound backgrounds. It can be troublesome if you get involved with them. Are you sure you took care of everything?” Qin Yushen asked, sounding a bit concerned.
“Yeah,” Song Yan Ning replied. She had burned the man in black to ash, so even if the sect behind the man were to search, they would only look for Liu Qingshan and wouldn’t find their way to her and her grandparents. Even if they did, they weren’t easy targets. She went to school while her grandparents had Xiang to protect them. Xiang’s strength was more than enough to deal with the average Ancient Martial Cultivator, plus her grandparents each had a Protective Jade Pendant she had made for them.
“That’s good. Are you going to enter the system tonight?” Qin Yushen asked. He hadn’t seen her for several days now, and even though they talked every day, he still wanted to see her.
Song Yan Ning thought for a moment, “If nothing unexpected happens, I should.”
“Then I’ll wait for you tonight,” Qin Yushen’s handsome face lit up with a happy smile.
Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen talked until Li Meixiang called her to eat dinner, then she said goodbye and hung up the phone. She didn’t know why she always had so many things to talk about with Qin Yushen.
After dinner, Song Yan Ning was sorting herbal medicine in the yard when her phone rang again.
She took her phone and saw it was a text message. Opening the message, she saw it was from Ling Yu, “Boss, do you have time to meet up today? Guo Kai and I have arranged it, we’re just missing you.”
Song Yan Ning thought for a bit, her fingers tapped lightly on the phone screen a few times, “Where?” She didn’t have anything else to do right now, so meeting up with them was fine. She had now entered the Middle-level System and didn’t often see them, but she and Ling Yu still frequently exchanged messages.
“The KFC on Yang City Songling Street. We’ll wait for you, don’t bail!” Ling Yu quickly sent the message.
Song Yan Ning smiled and replied with an OK.
“Boss agreed to the meetup,” Ling Yu placed his phone on the table, looking at Guo Kai next to him with excitement. They had always been curious about what their boss looked like. Sending messages was a way to see if the boss would agree to a meetup, and to their surprise, she had accepted; it was unexpectedly delightful.
“That’s great!” Guo Kai was also very happy. He had been curious about the mysterious boss for a long time.
“I’m going to send a message to everyone, telling them we’re meeting up with the boss. They’re going to be so envious, haha…” Ling Yu picked up his phone and quickly sent a message in the group.
“Folks! Announcing some great news, Ice Wolf and I are going to meet the boss.”
“Envy! Jealousy! Hatred!”
“Really? When will the boss arrive?”
“I want to meet the boss, too.”
“I’ve already met the team leader in Beijing, haha…”
“When? How come you’re only mentioning it now?”
“What does the boss look like? Curious!”
“I’m not telling you all.” Zhou Jiyou, looking at the messages everyone was sending on his phone, couldn’t help but laugh out loud. They’re going to be very surprised when they see the team leader. Just like when he first saw the team leader, he couldn’t believe how young she was. Her performance that day was truly outstanding, completely unbecoming of her age. No wonder even Mr. Qin was so fond of the team leader.
Ling Yu and Guo Kai occasionally glanced out the window, speculating which one was Song Yan Ning.
Song Yan Ning walked into the KFC, immediately spotting the two of them sitting by the window drinking cola. She smiled and walked towards them. Her grandparents knew she was going out and wanted to accompany her; it took a long time to persuade them to stay. Her grandparents were all-around good, but they were just too concerned about her and never felt at ease with her going places alone.
When Ling Yu saw Song Yan Ning approaching, he glanced behind her, seeing she was alone, “Little girl, what are you doing here? Didn’t your grandfather come with you?” Her grandfather and his grandfather were old friends. Last time, the little girl had followed him to play basketball, and the skills she showed truly surprised him.
