Chapter 226 - The Reason We Came Here (1/2)

Jing Yi looked at Niu Hai's leaving figure and sighed. ”Did you really have to accept that challenge?”

”Why not? You don't have to be afraid. I'll definitely win!” Qiu Ling conveniently picked up Jing Yi and pulled him onto his lap.

Jing Yi wanted to chastise him but decided against it in the end. This guy, he wouldn't stop doing these things just because he asked. ”That's not it.” He looked around but nobody could be seen. It should be safe talking here, shouldn't it? Just in case, he leaned a little closer until his lips were right next to Qiu Ling's ear. ”You haven't forgotten why we're here, have you?”

Qiu Ling stared ahead. Don't ask him what his beloved had just said. He only knew that Jing He was really, really close to him right now and that he had initiated this by himself. So … Was his beloved giving him some signs? Did he want to continue what they had been doing this morning?

He seriously pondered this question and finally decided that it was most probably the case. ”I love you, too!” He hugged his waist and wanted to kiss him but the familiar feeling of a palm on his face stopped him. ”Ugh. Why are you doing this to me?”

”Did you even listen to me?” Jing Yi tried to wriggle out of Qiu Ling's grasp but his fiance naturally held him tightly.

”I did! You … You were saying you wanted to continue where we left off this morning!”

Jing Yi sighed and leaned his head against Qiu Ling's shoulder. ”What am I going to do with you? You're … you're doing whatever you want. Don't you feel ashamed at all?”

”No. Why should I?” Qiu Ling tilted his head and tried to look into his face.

”You're shameless.”

”Mn.” Qiu Ling pursed his lips. He didn't think that he was shameless at all. Well, maybe a bit … ”You know, my love, as long as I can get you that way, I don't mind being shameless at all.”

”So now you're a flirt, too.”

Qiu Ling stopped talking. He felt like he wouldn't give a good impression if he continued.

”I was asking you if you had forgotten why we've come here.”

”I came here because you weren't at the house anymore.”

”I mean why we came to the Hei Dian Sect. We have a mission. If you duel someone in front of the whole sect, that isn't exactly low-profile. Even if it doesn't impede the mission, what would you do after returning home? If you make yourself known as a disciple of the Hei Dian Sect, it'll be hard to shake that impression.”

Qiu Ling looked up at the sky. His beloved wasn't completely wrong with that. He couldn't ruin his image. After all, it would ruin the image of his fiance, too.
