Chapter 24: The Harvest
Seeing Satono lying on the ground, struggling, Jian Ning smiled disdainfully, clapped his hands and turned around to walk towards Simple.
Qin Mo was very surprised that Jian Ning was able to beat the Sato Ye who was at the same level as her in such a short period of time without any pressure. Not only him, but everyone present except for Jian Ning himself was surprised. I didn't expect this mysterious woman to have such strong strength.
However, everyone quickly packed up their mood and threw themselves into what they were busy with.
This time, the people brought by Satono have all been taken down, dead and wounded. Qin Mo directly ordered to go down, leaving only Satono alone, and the rest were left alive. Although cruel, this is the reality, Jian Ning didn't say anything when she saw him like this. If she had to make her own choice, she would definitely not be the same choice as Qin Mo, but Qin Mo's choice was not up to her. Everyone has their own way of handling things, if Qin Mo and them lose today, presumably they won't get a better end, this is the reality, the cruel reality of the cultivation world.
As for leaving Satono, Qin Mo just felt that leaving him might have some value, at least his father and brother loved this young child very much. It's also good to keep him for something.
Qin Mo left his subordinates there to clean up and take Qinglong to re-enter the previous hall, and Jian Ning hurriedly followed when he saw it. This time, she brought Jian Jian with her, although she had broken the formation of this mansion, she was sure that there was no danger here for the time being. But she still wasn't at ease, and she didn't want to experience the uncontrollable feeling before.
Qin Mo knew that Jian Ning was following, he didn't say anything, since they were all his own people, it didn't matter if he should know anything or not. He had already automatically and spontaneously planned Jian Ning and Simple as the person under his protection, although without the consent of the person concerned, of course he would ask the other party to ask for the person to be protected.
Entering the hall, it was the same as before they went out, with dilapidated tables and chairs, and the room full of dust, and the painting on the wall before was gone. They searched here and then went to the two houses next to them, but they searched back and forth several times, but they still found nothing.
This is unreasonable, according to the investigation, this is Rong Jinghao's last cave mansion, and his finances and other things should be here. Is it because there is still somewhere that they haven't found? Qin Mo stood in the middle of the room and frowned, how could there be nothing at all, the basic living utensils in the room were still there, but there was nothing else. It's a bit like the owner of the house left on his own, so he took all the treasures, weapons, etc. he needed to carry.
Could it be that Rong Jinghao is not dead? Or did his descendants or disciples already come and take his things? No, if it was something that his descendants or disciples came to take, but these formations showed no signs of being damaged at all. This is not in line with common sense, and when he inquired about this place before, he deliberately checked Rong Jinghao's background, he himself is a loose cultivator, and he has always been alone.
By the way, he once married a very outstanding junior of the Jian family, but soon after he got married, he was exposed to being pregnant with Long Bering. Later, everyone also spread the news behind his back that it was his wife, and in the end, no matter what, Rong Jinghao suddenly disappeared.
Could this matter have anything to do with the Jian family? Thinking of the Jian family, Qin Mo suddenly looked at Jian Ning, who was groping there to see if there was a mechanism, and showed a thoughtful look. Seven years ago, when she took out the bracelet, he suspected that she was a member of the Jian family, and later because she disappeared suddenly, in order to find her, he also made a special investigation and found that the Jian family did not have such a descendant as Jian Ning.
But in the current situation, it seems that she is not necessarily not a descendant of the Jian family, but it is not known whether she is the current descendant of the Jian family. It seems that she has a lot of secrets, it doesn't matter, she has time to grind slowly with her, and there will always be a time to dig it out.
Jian Ning is uncomfortable now, being stared at like this by Qin Mo, who can be better, which tendon is wrong with him. Staring at himself like this, he didn't provoke him anywhere.
Qin Mo also noticed her discomfort, coughed and shifted his eyes.
"No need to look for it, there is no one here, let's go."
"Young master?" Qinglong followed Qin Mo in surprise.
Jian Ning was also puzzled, she finally reached the last step after a lot of hard work, but in the end she fell short. And she herself wanted to find the long white ring, and now she didn't see two shadows, not to mention how disappointed she was.
"Why don't you look for it, let's look it again, be careful, we may still be able to find the hidden mechanism." Jian Ning was unwilling to catch up.
Qin Mo paused slightly, "Rong Jinghao may not be dead, nothing will be found here." β
"What, outside...... Rong Jinghao is not dead? Jian Ning was completely shocked by Qin Mo's words, and almost showed that his grandfather might not have died. Her mood instantly soared, if her grandfather hadn't died, then her grandmother wouldn't have been regretting it all the time, and she would have been guilty about her grandfather.
Who knows how Ren Jianning asked later, Qin Mo didn't answer her anymore.
He walked into the courtyard and ordered his men to pack up their things, and everyone was ready to return, his face was expressionless and cold, and he could not see the disappointment that he had not found the treasure.
Jian Ning didn't give up and went up to ask him, this matter was too important to her. Qin Mo turned to look at her playfully
"Why are you so interested in Rong Jinghao?"
"I ......" Jian Ning couldn't say why, so she could only stare at him dryly.
Qin Mo slowly approached her, leaning down and staring straight into her eyes. Jian Ning swallowed his saliva, the pressure was so great, he couldn't stand the eye with him, Jian Ning shifted his gaze and immediately shifted his gaze.
"I finally got here, and I didn't find anything in the end, shouldn't I ask?"
After finishing speaking, the heat on Jian Ning's face had not yet faded, and she was so nervous in her heart that she had been numbed by the extreme reaction of her conditional nervous heartbeat when she met Qin Mo like this. If she wants to get used to it, she just needs to get used to it, and she won't be there after a while, anyway, when she finds an opportunity to sneak away when she returns, she will never see her again.
Qin Mo couldn't help laughing, stood up straight and said, "It's nothing, you should ask, after all, there is also your Yicheng among the treasures obtained." But the upheaval of the corners of his mouth and the warmth of his eyes couldn't hide his good mood.
After saying that, he turned around and left, not giving Jian Ning a chance to ask again. Jian Ning couldn't help it, it seemed that he couldn't ask anything in his mouth, but with the news he said before, it was already very good. Then you can check it out again, maybe there will be unexpected surprises in a different direction. When the time comes, when it is found out that the real official grandfather is not dead, and then tell Grandma SΓΉ, she will definitely be happy.
After that, they took some of the spirit fruits that were still left in the orchard over there, and Jian Ning saw that the surviving spirit fruit trees still had some usable branches, and she went over to pick some of them herself, and some seedlings were also picked together. These things may not be useful to other people, but Jane Ning is useful. She can completely plant these in the space, with the rich aura in the space and the spring water in the mysterious spiritual spring, it should be able to feed, and maybe she can eat the spiritual fruits that grow in the future, these are all rare species.
Although Qin Mo felt strange about Jian Ning's behavior, he didn't stop her, thinking that she was just interested in getting it back to support herself. Although it was impossible to succeed, Qin Mo had no intention of attacking her immediately.
An hour later, they packed their bags and prepared to return to the water.
