Reincarnation Of The Businesswoman At School Novel - Chapter 2023

Chapter 2023: Goes up in Two Levels at a Time

Gu Ning didn’t know how long she had tried. Although she almost lost consciousness, she refused to give up because she would be able to get into the next level after breaking the barrier. The only thing she wanted to do now was to improve her skills.

After a long time, the barrier finally loosened and showed leaks, then it broke.

However, before Gu Ning could relax, she fell into darkness again.

She didn’t know that she had disappeared for two days, and Shangguan Yang almost went crazy searching for her. He divided his body into two. One was observing Jing Yunyao, while the other left to look for Gu Ning.

Shangguan Yang was at the Soul-separation Stage from concrete to abstract now.

During the Soul-separation Stage, he could control his clone and do two things at the same time. He was also able to exert influence on different places at the same time. As his spiritual consciousness had greatly increased, he could manipulate two or more people’s behavior. Unfortunately, Shangguan Yang had searched for Gu Ning for a long time in vain.

At 2 am, Leng Shaoting came to the Kunlun Sect’s place. Once he learned the news that Gu Ning had been missing for two days, he went out to look for her.

He had returned to the base at noon yesterday, then left. He just turned on the phone. After seeing the messages Gu Ning had sent to him, he immediately called her. However, because he failed to get through to her, he figured out that they hadn’t come back yet. Without delay, he bought a plane ticket to fly to meet them.

He originally was only worried about Jing Yunyao, because Jing Yunyao was going to break into the next level. It would be very dangerous, but he unexpectedly learned that Gu Ning was missing and Jing Yunyao was safe instead.

When Gu Ning woke up, the surroundings were dark, but this time it wasn’t a dark space with no end because Gu Ning could see flowers around her.

After Gu Ning woke up, she felt very vigorous and also felt that her whole body had improved a lot.

Gu Ning was already in the Fusion Stage of turning the power into qi. During that period, her body and her cultivation skills began to be combined, which was a stage of ability improvement.

Gu Ning was quite excited to go up two levels at a time, but she was worried as well.

She had no idea how long had passed, but it couldn’t be a short time, so Shangguan Yang must be anxious about her missing. Therefore, she had to climb up and get back as soon as possible.

Without delay, Gu Ning climbed up with her bare hands. This time, she felt she was much faster and stabler than before.

The improvement actually wasn’t obvious enough compared to her original abilities because cultivators in Fusion Stage were no match for her before she became a cultivator.

Anyway, even if her skills hadn’t been largely improved, she was obviously stronger than before.

Besides, it took time to become a master. No matter which level she was at right now, she must take cultivation seriously.

When Gu Ning was halfway through the climb, she heard someone calling her, so she stopped at once. The voice calling her was so familiar. It was Leng Shaoting’s voice.

Was it her illusion, or was it really Leng Shaoting?

Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes to look in the direction where the voice came. Although it was dark, she could still see Leng Shaoting clearly.

“Shaoting, I’m here!” Gu Ning shouted right away.

As soon as Gu Ning shouted, Leng Shaoting heard it too and figured out where she was. Without hesitation, he ran towards her.

Seeing Leng Shaoting coming over, Gu Ning stopped shouting and kept on climbing up.

“Ningning, where are you?” After running for a while, Leng Shaoting kept on shouting because he failed to see Gu Ning.

“I’m down the cliff,” replied Gu Ning.

Hearing that, Leng Shaoting immediately ran to the cliff.

As he approached it, he heard movements from the edge. He looked down at once and saw a person climbing up 10 meters under the cliff.

Gu Ning saw Leng Shaoting too, so she beamed at him.

Leng Shaoting, however, felt like crying, because he saw Gu Ning climbing up from the foot of the cliff, which meant she had fallen from it. That was the reason why she had been absent for two days.

When Gu Ning saw Leng Shaoting’s tearful eyes, the smile froze on her face. She knew he must be crazily searching for her, so she felt guilty, even though she hadn’t wanted to fall down the cliff.

Nevertheless, if she had a second chance to make the choice, she would choose to fall down again.

Leng Shaoting said nothing and took out a sword at once. He immediately flew down to Gu Ning’s side, then carried her back to the ground.

The moment they touched the ground, Leng Shaoting kissed her heavily. His lips were even trembling.

Gu Ning understood that he was scared and horrified after she was missing, so she tolerated it when the kiss became painful. She even kissed him back passionately.

After a while, Leng Shaoting calmed down and became gentle.

After he calmed down, he realized that Gu Ning had fallen off the cliff. He didn’t know whether she was injured, so he let her go and carefully observed her body with his eyes at once, “Are you injured?”

“No, I’m not,” said Gu Ning.

“Great, great.” Leng Shaoting believed it. He felt greatly relieved and hugged Gu Ning tightly.

He didn’t question or criticize Gu Ning for going missing, because it wasn’t what Gu Ning wanted, but he still seriously warned her to be careful. “Don’t run away alone again in the future. Do you understand?”

“I know,” said Gu Ning obediently. “Oh, I have good news to share with you,” she said with excitement.

“What is it?” Leng Shaoting relaxed a little hearing that.

“Although I fell down the cliff, I gained something good from bad luck. After taking two snow lotus petals, I went up two levels at a time! Now I’m already in the Fusion Stage. I was busy going up in levels, so I delayed the time to go back,” said Gu Ning. She couldn’t wait to share the good news with Leng Shaoting right after she comforted him.

“Really?” Leng Shaoting was cheered up and complimented her with love. “Ningning, I knew you were amazing.”

Because Gu Ning had the Blood of the Phoenix in her body, other people couldn’t see her exact level unless she told them.

“Ha-ha, if I’m not good enough, I won’t be able to travel around the world with you in the future.” Gu Ning grinned. She was thrilled that she could make rapid progress, but it was barely enough, so she still needed to work hard.

Leng Shaoting felt happy for Gu Ning, but he also had mixed emotions because Gu Ning needed to do too many things in order to stay with him.
