Chapter 292 - A Genius Not Just with the Sword (1/2)
While Xiao Li prepared for the wedding with Zhong Guanyu, Qiguan Cheng Da finally arrived at the Yun Zou Sect again. Actually, he could have been there a few days earlier already but he hadn't seen any reason to make haste. Wasn't this just about Zhong Jing Yi? Who cared how dangerous the mission was? The Grandmaster's disciple could take care of himself and that Zhong Jing Yi wasn't important at all. As far as Qiguan Cheng Da was concerned, that boy could go and die.
But, well, he still had to report what had happened at the Hei Dian Sect. Not that he minded. In fact, he was quite pleased with this part of his mission. After all, the order had come from the Sect Master himself even though Yu Jin had been the one to inform him. For the report he brought back he would certainly talk to the Sect Master directly. This was his chance to impress him and get some benefits out of this!
He walked to the palace on the Sect Master's peak and nodded at the two disciples guarding the door. ”Disciple Qiguan came to report on his mission to the Sect Master.”
One of them nodded and hurried to the study inside. ”Sect Master!” He cupped his fists and bowed. ”A disciple Qiguan is outside. He said he wants to report on a mission.”
”Mn, I see. Get Yu Jin for me and then let him in.”
”Yes!” The disciple bowed again before hurrying out again. Naturally, he didn't leave through the front door. Instead, he used one of the doors at the side of the palace and flew to Yu Jin's dwelling on his sword.
He stopped a few steps short of the door and tidied up his clothes first. Honestly, he had always admired Sect Master Yuchi. It might not show on the outside but he had been a genius back in the day. Even though he had the spirit veins to become a cultivator he still learned the way of the sword, too. And he had gotten great results with both and in a short time no less. It was a pity that he hadn't had enough time for his training after taking over the duties of Sect Master. He hadn't advanced in a long time.
But now this genius had actually taken in another genius. The disciple was once again awed by this person. Thus he didn't want to face this Senior Martial Brother in a state that wasn't perfect. He actually regretted not being able to re-do his hair right then and there.
Inside the house, Yu Jin had long noticed that someone was outside. He didn't pay that person any mind though. Once again he sat at his table and painted. He somehow felt like the background was becoming clearer and clearer even though he still couldn't say what or who was in the middle.
A knock on the door finally broke his concentration. ”Senior Martial Brother Yu?” The disciple sounded nervous.
Yu Jin didn't think that something might have happened though. If that was the case, that guy wouldn't have stood in front of his house for that long. Most likely, he was just intimidated by the fact that he was the Sect Master's disciple.
”Come on in.”
The disciple gingerly opened the door and came into the study. ”Senior Martial Brother Yu …” He took a peek and blushed. Ah! This genius wasn't just talented with the sword it seemed! He really looked up to him more and more.
