?Chapter 155: One hundred fifty-five, I must go   Chapter 155: One hundred fifty-five, I must go                                   “What’s uncertain?” Yang Lisheng entered from outside and saw Liu Qingshan awake. He smiled at him, “Are you awake?” Liu Qingshan had woken up earlier than he had expected.


    Liu Qingshan returned the smile, “Mr. Yang! Thank you for saving my life again.”


    Yang Lisheng shook his head with a smile, “No need for thanks, just take good care of yourself, and you’ll be fine in a few days.” He was a doctor; it was only right for him to heal and save people, not to mention Liu Qingshan was someone he knew. He couldn’t just stand by and watch him die.


    “Mr. Yang, actually, I came here to ask you to leave this ce.”


    “Hm?” Yang Lisheng looked at Liu Qingshan, puzzled by his meaning.


    “The power behind the person who tried to assassinate mest time—they’ve found out that it was you who saved me. I’m guessing they mighte after you,” Liu Qingshan said, his face full of apology. He had thought that by leaving that day, he would no longer involve them, but to his surprise, the enemy had still found them.


    At first, he thought he was being hunted because he had taken that white stone, but heter found out that the real target was the map he carried. To get the map, they had even cruelly wiped out his entire family. Now, he only hated that his own strength was too weak to even exact revenge.


    Yang Lisheng shook his head, disagreeing, “We live in a society governed byw now; they wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.” He knew that there were Ancient Martial Sects in this world, but he believed that they would not attack ordinary people. Otherwise, the world would have fallen into chaos long ago.


    Liu Qingshan bitterly tugged at the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with unconceble sorrow. “They are capable of anything; thew is of no use against them.” Otherwise, they wouldn’t have decimated his entire family just for a map.


    “Grandpa, we should listen to Uncle Liu for now and leave this ce first,” Song Yan Ning said, looking at Yang Lisheng. Coming from the Demon World, she knew that in the eyes of Cultivators and Martial Artists, human life meant very little.


    Yang Lisheng pondered for a while, “But what about your school?” Xiao Ning had just started school; if they left, she wouldn’t be able to continue, and transferring schools would take time, which could dy Xiao Ning’s education.


    “Grandpa, you don’t have to worry about me; I’ll arrange everything. You and Grandma go to Beijing for a while, and I’ll go somewhere with Uncle Liu. We’lle to find youter,” Song Yan Ning said, wanting to see the ce marked on the map.


    “No, how could we possibly abandon you? And considering Mr. Liu’s current condition, how can I rest assured letting you follow him?” Yang Lisheng immediately opposed. Xiao Ning was their precious grandchild, he couldn’t leave her behind.


    “Grandpa, I know what I’m doing. Didn’t I return safely from Miao Borderst time? Don’t worry, I’ll call you and Grandma to let you know I’m safe,” Song Yan Ning reassured Yang Lisheng. Liu Qingshan said that the secret realm would open in five days; only ces with Arrays have fixed times for opening. She was only one step away from Foundation Establishment, and she couldn’t miss this opportunity.


    “But this time is different; even Mr. Liu can’t take care of himself, how can he protect you?” Yang Lisheng still disagreed.


    “I’ll be going with Xiang. Her kung fu is even better than Uncle Liu’s. She will protect me,” Song Yan Ning said, to reassure her grandfather. Once her grandparents left, she would instruct Xiang to follow and protect them. Her current cultivation was at the Qi Refining Ninth Level, and an ordinary person would not be able to harm her.


    “But…” Yang Lisheng was still worried.


    “Grandpa, you should know me. I wouldn’t do anything without assurance; I won’t let myself be in danger,” Song Yan Ning said, giving Liu Qingshan a meaningful look.


    Liu Qingshan managed a forced smile. Indeed, he also didn’t agree with Song Yan Ning following him. As Yang Lisheng had pointed out, he was barely able to protect himself, how could he protect Xiao Ning?


    “Uncle Liu, do you know why that man in ck has disappeared?” Song Yan Ningmunicated telepathically with Liu Qingshan.


    Liu Qingshan was slightly startled, looking at Song Yan Ning in shock. Was she speaking to him? He hadn’t seen her lips move—was it an illusion?


    “Because I killed that man in ck, and I’ve destroyed his body without a trace,” Song Yan Ning telepathicallymunicated again.


    “What?!” Liu Qingshan couldn’t believe what he was hearing while looking at Song Yan Ning. The man in ck was stronger than him; he was no match for his opponent, which is why he had been wounded so severely.


    Song Yan Ning nodded subtly and asked telepathically, “Don’t you want to go and see that ce?”


    Liu Qingshan looked at Song Yan Ning for a long time before turning to Yang Lisheng, “Mr. Yang, rest assured, the ce Xiao Ning and I are going to is not dangerous. We will be back in at most half a month.” Song Yan Ning’s ability to telepathicallymunicate and the fact that she killed the man in ck, without his backers finding the body, spoke to her extraordinary nature. Plus, he was indeed eager to check out that ce.


    “Maybe I should go with you,” Yang Lisheng felt that it might be better if he went along, and he would feel more at ease.


    Song Yan Ning walked over to Yang Lisheng and took his arm, “Grandpa, what about Grandma if youe with us? Are you really okay with leaving her alone? Don’t worry, I promise we will return safely and I’ll call you and Grandma every day to check in.”


    “But…” Naturally, Yang Lisheng was worried about his spouse, but equally concerned about Xiao Ning.


    “No more ‘buts,’ it’s decided. I’ll go talk to Grandma,” Song Yan Ning didn’t give Yang Lisheng a chance to object and quickly ran outside. She knew convincing her grandmother wouldn’t be easy and would definitely take some effort.


    Yang Lisheng helplessly shook his head and turned his gaze back to Liu Qingshan. “Mr. Liu, can you protect Xiao Ning?”


    Liu Qingshan hesitated briefly, then nodded forcefully. “I can!” He would use his life to ensure Xiao Ning’s safety. Without Xiao Ning, he might have died that day.


    “Get some rest,” Yang Lisheng said after a long look at Liu Qingshan, then turned to head outside. He needed to think about this matter. No matter how clever Xiao Ning was, she was still only a seven-year-old child. Withoutplete certainty, he couldn’t let her take the risk.


    After much persuasion, Song Yan Ning finally convinced Li Meixiang.


    Seeing Yang Lisheng approach, Song Yan Ning smiled, “Grandpa, Grandma has agreed. Tomorrow morning, you will go to Beijing.”


    “Xiao Ning, Grandpa is still worried. Why don’t you just go to Beijing with Grandma and me?” Yang Lisheng sat down next to Song Yan Ning.


    With a resigned sigh, Song Yan Ning said, “Grandpa, I must go to that ce. Otherwise, I will never have peace of mind. And if I don’t go this time, I will never have the chance again.”
