Chapter 271 - Reporting Their Progress (1/2)
Qiu Ling cleared his throat, stepped forward and put an arm around Jing Yi's waist. Mn, he had to make sure this guy wouldn't get any funny ideas. After all, he had already approached his beloved before!
”We were indeed able to find out something: The missing disciples are both here in the Hei Dian Sect. To be more precise, they are currently in the estate of the Hei Dian Sect's Grandmaster Shen.”
Qiguan Cheng Da lifted his brows. Missing disciples? This didn't sound like the important mission Yu Jin had described to him. And they weren't even talking about many disciples but just two! The sect definitely wouldn't care about this!
Qiu Ling's eyes narrowed. Even though he didn't like being around other people as long as it wasn't about his beloved he had lived long enough to see through the thoughts of a human like Qiguan Cheng Da. That guy was somehow dissatisfied with his words thus far.
Not good! I have to add more details! If this guy reports something bad back to the sect, then they'll postpone our wedding even further. And my beloved also wouldn't stand for it if I don't do a good job with this.
Qiu Ling pulled Jing Yi even closer and gave Qiguan Cheng Da a smile. ”Well, you can probably imagine that it's difficult to find out more. That Grandmaster is obviously a highly skilled person. I'm afraid he wouldn't even lose against my Master that easily. Naturally, we were unable to infiltrate his estate in this short amount of time. We have thought up a plan though but executing it will take a bit more time.”
Qiguan Cheng Da nodded. He might not think much of the mission but it was still good to establish a connection with the Grandmaster's disciple. He should try and give him a good expression that even this Zhong Jing Yi wouldn't be able to shake.
”What kind of plan is it, Senior Martial Brother Qiu? Can I or the sect do anything to help you?”
Qiu Ling barely stopped himself from frowning. This guy was obviously just talking to him and ignoring his beloved even though Jing Yi was the one who had officially been given the mission. He had just tagged along. So … could it be that this guy wasn't after his beloved in a romantic way but was instead targeting him in some other way? He should make sure of that.
”Well, Jing'er has managed to have them admit him into the …” Uh … What was it called again? He shot a look at his beloved to seek help.
”Ah, I've been admitted to the Alchemy division.” Jing Yi really hoped that he had understood correctly where Qiu Ling was going with his story. It seemed that way though.
”Right, into the Alchemy Division. He approached a disciple called …” Qiu Ling's lips twitched. To him, all of them were just rivals. He had never bothered to learn their names. How had his beloved called him? ”Uh … Yu. Some disciple called Yu. His Master is the Elder in charge of the Alchemy Division and he has already been given a lot of responsibility within the sect. If we leverage on the relationship between Jing'er and him we'll be able to attain more information.”
