Chapter 265 - Sending a Message (1/2)
After Yu Jin explained the benefits of taking on that mission, Qiguan Cheng Da didn't wait long and made his way over to the grounds of the Hei Dian Sect. He looked down into the chasm where the Beguiling Night Tree stood and snorted.
”How fitting for an evil sect. That guy should just stay here. No need to return to the Yun Zou Sect.”
Qiguan Cheng Da narrowed his eyes. That was actually a good idea. He had wanted to do something but had still lacked the right inspiration. But this might be feasible. If he made sure that that boy didn't return to the Yun Zou Sect too soon, then he could expand his own influence. If he indeed came back someday …
Qiguan Cheng Da chuckled.
”Let's see how you'll deal with this, Zhong Jing Yi.”
He took out the flower that Yu Jin had given him but he didn't send it immediately. Instead, he took a moment to have a closer look at it. The thing obviously wasn't a real flower. It was made out of white jade and the petals were carved so thin that they were translucent. Just one glance was enough to understand how much this thing was worth. Though, the jade with its intricate carvings contributed only slightly to the actual worth of the flower. Its use was what was special.
Everyone in the Yun Zou Sect including the Sect Master himself normally only used paper cranes for communication. Well, except for the outer sect disciples, of course, who had no means of communication at all if it wasn't required for a mission the sect gave them. He himself had only received paper cranes when he was admitted to the inner sect and even then they had only provided him with three. It showed how precious even these were. This flower … It was a hundred times better than any paper crane.
Qiguan Cheng Da frowned. Why had this Yu Jin so much luck? What had he actually done to deserve getting such a treasure? Besides having heavenly spirit veins since birth and coincidentally being picked up by the Sect Master he hadn't done anything. And still …
Well, whatever. He couldn't do anything about that. In fact, it might even benefit him. After all, he had already established a relationship with him. When Yu Jin profited from something he would also profit.
Qiguan Cheng Da pushed the thought aside and imbued the flower with his spiritual energy just as Yu Jin had told him. One of the petals loosened and floated into the air.
Qiguan Cheng Da lifted his brows. It seemed this flower could even send several messages at the same time. He'd really like to try it out … But who could he message? He didn't know many people outside of the Yun Zou Sect. That was also something he should change. Now that he was one of the peerless geniuses he should make use of that and make connections. Well, he could worry about that later.
He hastily wrote a note on the petal and watched it fly away. ”Let's see if it really reaches that boy. If not …” He grinned. It wouldn't be too bad if the heretic practitioners of the Hei Dian Sect found out he was a spy. Wouldn't they take care of him then?
