Chapter 263 - That Side of His Fiance (1/2)

Jing Yi sat next to Qiu Ling in their house and pondered what to do. He had found out what he needed to find out: The reason for Hong Ai and Hong Bao to stay in the Hei Dian Sect was simple, there was no plot against the good faction, nothing they should worry about. Should he just report this?

If he was the Sect Master who had been approached by another sect and asked to find out what had happened to those two disciples, he would probably think that this story was made up. Especially since the person he had tasked with this mission was someone whose marriage depended on the results. Wouldn't such a person be eager to show results?

Qiu Ling watched his beloved frowning and furrowed his own brow. What was his Jing He thinking about? He seemed discontent. Had somebody said something to him that made him upset? Or maybe one of those shameless Senior Martial Brothers of his had dared to bully him?!

Qiu Ling straightened up. He'd find that bastard and break his bones to vent his beloved's grievances! But first of all …

He smiled sweetly and hugged Jing Yi from behind. ”Jing'er, my love, don't be like this. My heart hurts seeing you frown the whole time. Tell your husband-to-be who is bothering you. I'll go and beat them all up.” He leaned forward and kissed his cheek, startling Jing Yi out of his thoughts.

Jing Yi froze. Just now … That kiss was exactly like in that dream he had because of the Beguiling Night Tree's fruit. He closed his eyes, frowning even more.

This isn't good. I have to stop thinking about it. Whatever happened in my last life is already in the past. Now, there's only Qiu Ling for me. There's no need to think about anybody else. Even if the me back then loved him deeply, it doesn't have to do anything with the me now, right? I was somebody else in that life, after all.

His brow finally smoothed out and he even smiled a bit, making Qiu Ling's heart flutter. Ah! His words unexpectedly had that much influence on his beloved!

Qiu Ling gently grabbed his chin, turned his head and gave him a kiss on the lips. ”So, who should I beat up for you?”

Jing Yi laughed. Somehow, his fiance looked especially eager. ”It's not a matter of beating somebody up. I'm just a little worried.”

Qiu Ling pouted. Such a pity. He really would have liked to beat someone up for his Jing He. Well, dispelling his worries also wasn't bad. ”Tell me about it?”

”It's about the mission the Sect Master gave me. We haven't even been here for a month but we more or less accomplished it. It's just that it turned out completely different than we expected.”

”Isn't that good? Then we can go back and get married.”

Jing Yi smiled wryly. Was there nothing else his fiance could think about? ”Don't you think it's too coincidental?”

Qiu Ling blinked. He really didn't understand what his beloved was saying. ”In what way is it coincidental? We were lucky.”

”That's about the same. I'm just worried that the Sect Master won't believe us. This story … it's a little strange, isn't it?”

”Not particularly.”
