CHAPTER 1321 I'M A GIRL
"Don't worry, the term 'forbidden territory of Donghai' is no joke, you know."
Jiang Ning laughed. He knew Tan Xing wasn't really worried about this. "Besides, you're secretly really powerful and I know that very well." Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
A gleam flashed in Tan Xing's eyes and he looked even more deeply at Jiang Ning.
"It's fine to pretend anyway. All you old fellows love doing this," said Jiang Ning with a shrug. "It's very important to be low profile, I get it."
He didn't get this at all! Tan Xing couldn't help but curse at Jiang Ning in his heart.
People like Tan Xing did often maintain a low profile and always hid away what they were truly capable of. If Jiang Ning didn't remind him about it, he had nearly forgotten himself.
Martial artists did not compete on who lived more gloriously, but who lived a longer life.
"There are many things I have no choice but to face in this world. I'm carrying the weight of the entire Tan family and the Northern High Kick Sect. I have too much to carry."
Tan Xing sighed. "But I don't have any descendants who can really carry all these things for me.”
He wasn't getting any younger and he didn't know how long more he had to live. He hoped to groom someone to take over before he died.
"When I die, I don't think I can rest in peace either. Sigh.”
Tan Xing looked so deeply at Jiang Ning, it made Jiang Ning feel uneasy.
"Alright, alright, I know what you're trying to say," Jiang Ning got up. "Go back and tell Tan Long to follow me for one year. I guarantee that you'd be satisfied with the results."
Tan Xing's face immediately broke into a huge smile as he nodded and gently stroked his long beard.
"Since you've asked this of me, then surely I can't refuse your offer, right? It's good to give young people a chance. Sure, sure, I'll get Tan Long to follow you for this period of time."
Tan Xing didn't want to look like he was the one asking for a favor, so Jiang Ning let him be and just smiled and nodded.
RIIIING.
Jiang Ning's phone rang.
It was a call from Butler Zhao.
"Professor Lu has made a discovery?” Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes. "I'll be there in a while.”
He got up.
"Elder Tan, you can help me to keep an eye on the academy. Let me know if there's anything and I'll drop by." 'Sure, you go attend to whatever you need to."
Tan Xing knew Jiang Ning was very busy. He had agreed to what Tan Xing wanted already anyway.
Jiang Ning walked out of the office and went past the main training area where Fang Qiu was already hopping mad.
"How many times do I have to repeat myself?! HUH?! How many times have I said this? It's like this! LIKE THIS!"
"Senior..."
"Don't call me Senior! I don't have such a stupid boy as my junior!"
"Senior, I'm a girl...my chest is just a little on the flat side..."
Jiang Ning chortled but he didn't say anything nor disrupt them and just left.
This Professor Lu Jing was really dedicated to his work.
Jiang Ning had given him $3 million at one shot the last time, so Lu Jing was both excited and touched at the same time. He kept saying that a young man like Jiang Ning who respected knowledge and revered science was really hard to come by.
He couldn't disappoint Jiang Ning's trust in him!
During this period of time, Lu Jing had practically forgotten to eat or sleep and just concentrated on his research all day and all night. Eventually, he really did make a new discovery.
Butler Zhao had provided a research venue for Lu Jing that was near his information network headquarters because he knew that Lu Jing's research was very important to Jiang Ning.
He had also given Lu Jing a huge amount of ancient texts and historical research...Lu Jing was so excited to see all this that he couldn't sleep for several days.
This was way more than everything he had!
Besides Lu Jing, there were also two of his students working for him inside the research lab. These students majored in ancient linguistics and literature, so it wasn't easy for them to find a job after graduation either.
Besides continuing on their PhD and doing research or teaching, there weren't many career paths for them to choose from.
"Mr Jiang, this way please."
Butler Zhao pushed the door open. The two students inside looked up when they heard the sound of the door and looked a little confused.
