Chapter 1157: Why Don’t You Stay Here?

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Standing up, Jian Ai looked at Hans and said, “It’s getting late. We’ll take our leave first!”

It was already the latter half of the night. Jian Ai’s old injuries had yet to recover, so she felt especially tired after staying up the night.

Yun Buyao stood up as well, while Yu Wuyuan went to the Zhi Tong’s side to help him up.

Just as they were about to leave, Hans suddenly said, “Why don’t you stay here? It’s convenient for everything. If those two people come, you’ll know immediately.”

Hans’s sudden invitation stunned Jian Ai and the rest. They saw Hans look at Zhi Tong and continue, “I have the best doctor in the country. He can take a look at your people.”

“Sect Master, my injuries are fine,” Zhi Tong said in a hoarse voice.

Jian Ai thought for a moment. She was not worried that Hans would play any tricks. She was just hesitating if there was a need to stay.

In the end, Jian Ai nodded. “Alright, sorry to disturb Leader Hans.”

When Hans heard this, he couldn’t help but smile. His thick beard moved. “I won’t disturb you. I’ll get someone to take you to rest.”

After leaving Hans’ villa, they followed a guard down the mountainside and were brought to a villa.

After opening the door, the guard left without looking back. Hans did not leave anyone to guard Jian Ai and the rest, which made them feel much better. After all, they were in his territory. It was reasonable for Hans to find over ten people to surround the villa. After all, they were uninvited guests.

The villa was luxurious and clean. Although no one lived there, it looked like it was often cleaned. There was no abnormal smell, and the furniture was spotless.

“Zhi Tong, are you really okay?” Jian Ai sat on the sofa and asked Zhi Tong with concern.

Zhi Tong couldn’t help but nod gently. “I’m fine. My heart meridians aren’t damaged. I’ll recover after resting for a few days.”

Seeing that he was not forcing himself, Jian Ai heaved a sigh of relief. Yun Buyao couldn’t help but say, “Sect Master, contact Bai Zhou. They’re still waiting for news!”

Jian Ai couldn’t help but say, “Yes, I almost forgot.”

She took out her phone and dialed a number. It only rang once before it was picked up. Just as Yun Buyao had said, Bai Zhou and the rest had been waiting for news, but they didn’t dare to call Jian Ai rashly, afraid that it would cause trouble for them.

“Boss, how is it?” Bai Zhou’s anxious voice came through the phone.

“Things are a little complicated. Zhi Tong is also injured. The leader of the mercenary group is an ability user who hid his abilities!” Jian Ai whispered.

“What?” Bai Zhou was shocked. “That Hans is also an ability user?”

“That’s right,” Jian Ai said. “And he’s very strong. Xiao Zhen’s medicine was useless against him.”

Xiao Zhen, who was beside Bai Zhou, couldn’t help but frown when he heard that. He knew best how his medicine formula and its effects were. How could it be ineffective against this person?

“Is Zhi Tong okay?” Bai Zhou asked.

“He’s fine. We’re staying at the mercenary group’s headquarters. Although we didn’t get the information we wanted from Hans, he pointed out another solution for us, so we can’t go back yet.” Jian Ai looked at Zhi Tong and couldn’t help but sigh. “We’re all very safe now, so you don’t have to worry. I’ll tell you the details tomorrow. Zhi Tong needs to rest now.”

When Bai Zhou heard this, he said, “Alright, we’re relieved to know that you’re fine. We’ll contact you tomorrow!”

After hanging up, Jian Ai couldn’t help but look at Zhi Tong and ask, “Zhi Tong, did you see what Hans’s ability was like?”

Zhi Tong sighed and shook his head. “He’s very strong, but I’m not sure what his ability is. I only received a punch at that time, so he shouldn’t have used his ability.”

Jian Ai nodded. She naturally couldn’t ask Hans what his ability was, but since Zhi Tong didn’t see it, then forget it.

Jian Ai didn’t continue to ask and instructed everyone to rest for the night. After all, they had taken a plane to Italy last night and acted immediately without taking a breather today. Her body couldn’t take it anymore.

The night passed uneventfully. Perhaps because she was too tired, even in someone else’s territory, Jian Ai slept exceptionally well. When she opened her eyes again, strong sunlight had already shone through the gaps in the curtains.

She stood up, washed her face, and changed her clothes. Jian Ai came out of her room and found that they had already prepared a sumptuous breakfast on the dining table in the living room downstairs.

She did not see anyone else. Leader Hans must have instructed someone to deliver this.

Jian Ai walked straight to the innermost room on the second floor and found that the door was ajar. Jian Ai looked in and saw Zhi Tong sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed. She didn’t know if he was cultivating or self-healing.

As if sensing Jian Ai’s aura, Zhi Tong sitting on the bed slowly opened his eyes. As soon as he opened his mouth, he said in a tender child’s voice, “Morning, Sect Master!”

Jian Ai was stunned for a moment before reacting. Zhi Tong had said that his voice would change with time every day. In the morning, his voice was that of a child.

She pushed the door open and entered. Zhi Tong was wearing a pure white innerwear. Although his face was still pale, he was much more energetic than last night. Jian Ai sat down by the bed and looked at Zhi Tong. “Do you really not need to see a doctor?”

Zhi Tong smiled faintly. “How can these doctors treat our internal injuries? Don’t worry, Sect Master. I already stabilized my heart last night. Yu Wuyuan also poured very pure spiritual energy into me. I’m completely fine now.”

As if not wanting Jian Ai to worry, Zhi Tong couldn’t help but say, “I’m a little hungry.”

Jian Ai quickly said, “There’s food downstairs. I’m hungry too. Let’s eat!”

“Sect Master, go first. I’ll come down after tidying up,” Zhi Tong said.

Jian Ai nodded and said nothing. She stood up and left Zhi Tong’s room.

Breakfast was purely Italian. There was toast, butter, fried eggs, bacon, and so on. There was coffee, milk, and orange juice. As soon as Jian Ai sat down, Yu Wuyuan and Yun Buyao walked down from upstairs.

“Oh, Leader Hans knows how to be a good host. He prepared breakfast for us!” Yun Buyao said in surprise.

Jian Ai couldn’t help but smile. “When he invited us last night, it was like he was inviting guests. He didn’t mean to monitor us.”

Yun Buyao pursed her lips indifferently and sat opposite Jian Ai. “He wants to monitor us, but he’s probably worried about Yu Wuyuan, right?”
