Chapter 88

He closed the cupboard back up and walked away. If he had inspected the bottles more closely he would have noticed that the lids had been recently taken off and the insides filled with water.

Once he was ready he set off and ran with Fen to Yuntai mountain. It was around 20 km away which was around half a marathon but he got there in under an hour. He didn't see anyone he knew so they probably just hadn't arrived yet, so he waited on the stone bench.

He breathed in the forest air and listened to the bird's chirp. He felt at peace, but it was sadly broken by Fens grumbling.

Isaiah" If you're so bored, you can go ahead and explore, but make sure to meet us on the way."

Fens mood instantly light up and he dashed into the forest, quickly disappearing from sight.

It wasn't long before a car pulled up and mixi came out. Isaiah called her out, and she said something to the driver before running to Isaiah's side where they talked for a bit. Not long after that, another car pulled up. But they didn't get out, they just parked under a tree.

The three that just came was chu peihan her brother and the mysteriously boss situ ye.

Hao Ran and the other boys had to fulfil the task of running 10 kilometres before 8 am, so they got up very early this morning and ran to the Yuntai Mountain.

However, it wasn't far enough from their homes to Yuntai Mountain. Thus they kept running at the area around the Yuntai Mountain.

They finally achieved their goal before 7:20 am, but each of them was too exhausted to stand up. They almost felt like they were dying. 

Isaiah and mixi laughed looking at there haggard selves. They didn't even greet them as they were too out of breath to speak. Just 20 minutes after there arrival the last person arrived.

Gu Ning also looked like she had run here just like the boys. The only difference being is that she didn't look tired in the slightest.

Although Yuntai Mountain was a scenic zone, there weren't many visitors because most came here to climb the mountain.

Chu Xuanfeng got out of the car at once. When Gu Ning got near, he asked without delay, "Hey, did you run all the way to here from Fenghua Luxury Mansion?"

Gu Ning "Yes," She answered.

" Jesus! Seven kilometres! You don't seem exhausted at all. It's insane!" Although Chu Xuanfeng was mentally prepared, he was amazed when he got the affirmative answer from Gu Ning.

He could handle seven kilometres too, but it would cost him too much energy and strength. He could barely stand or breathe after it.

If only he knew Isaiah had run double the amount in the same time.

Gu Ning smiled but didn't say a word. She looked to Situ Ye, who had just left the car, and greeted him. Situ Ye nodded.

Gu Ning" Have you finished?" she asked Hao Ran and the rest.

Hao Ran" Yes. You-you can check-check the phone your-yourself." Hao Ran tried to catch his breath.

Gu Ning " No need. I trust you. You can rest till 9 am, then we'll go and climb the mountain," Gu Ning said.

Gu Ning trusted her friends. And it was a difficult task this time. She didn't want to push them too hard.

Gu Ning looked to Situ Ye once more. " It's an hour away from 9 am. Do you want to have the competition right now?"

" But you just ran here. Have a rest first," Situ Ye replied.

Gu Ning" Great, then 8:30 am." Actually, Gu Ning didn't need the rest, but she also wouldn't reject Situ Ye's kindness.

Gu Ning went to buy bottles of water for them. She intentionally put some power into the bottles for the four boys to help them recover.

After drinking the water, Hao Ran and the boys felt a flow of coldness spreading inside their bodies. They were soon full of energy again. Within 10 minutes, they were back to normal and felt much more energetic.

None of them noticed what happened except Isaiah who saw what Gu Ning did. He had already know Gu Ning was special since the first time he saw her.

He didn't care that much then but now he's closer to her and Gu man so he didn't want her to get in trouble with the wrong people. But he's been having trouble deciding to talk to her about it. He didn't know how she would react, so, for now, he just let things be.

When it was 8:30 am, they went to an empty area. Gu Ning and Situ Ye were ready for the fight.

For those who didn't know Situ Ye's background, they were positive about Gu Ning's ability. Gu Ning had beaten down 11 hoodlums with steel sticks before their eyes yesterday.

There was no reason for them not to believe in Gu Ning.

However, Chu Xuanfeng and Chu Peihan held a totally different opinion. Gu Ning was outstanding indeed.

She was even better than Chu Xuanfeng, but Situ Ye was far better than Chu Xuanfeng.

They had no clear understanding of Gu Ning's real ability, and they also knew that appearances lied, but they still believed that Situ Ye was better than Gu Ning. Accordingly, they didn't think that Gu Ning could win.

Both Gu Ning and Situ Ye had no intention to beat the other down, so the competition was limited to five minutes.

They nodded to one another, then the game began.

In the beginning, neither of them used full force. It wasn't clear who was better. However, as the time went by, the two gradually increased their strength to attack. Gu Ning felt the strong power from Situ Ye.

Situ Ye had the same feeling.

Gu Ning was only a teenage girl. It was shocking that she was so extraordinary.

After a while, Gu Ning knew clearly that Situ Ye was better than her. She was doomed to lose.

However, Gu Ning didn't feel controlled by Situ Ye, like she had when Leng Shaoting had done it to her last time. Therefore, although Situ Ye was better than Gu Ning, it was impossible for him to hurt her.

( Author's note - A lot of you got confused in the last chapter and previous chapters concerning Isaiah past and the weird power-ups and dreams.

You're just as confused as Isaiah and that's what I was going for. Learning about his past at the same pace he is.

But in the next chapter and this one, I want you to comment weather you want Isaiah's full background in a small chapter or if you want to keep things as it is and learn with him.

Thx for reading.)
