Chapter 297 - Giving Another Report (1/2)

This time around, Qiu Ling's expression changed in the opposite way: It darkened at first before suddenly brightening. This was terrific! It was actually some disciple of the Yun Zou Sect that wanted them to meet up again to hear their report. Didn't this mean that they could hand in the letter of that troublesome woman, say the truth and then immediately return to the Yun Zou Sect to have the wedding?!

”We need to go!” He stood up again and pulled Jing Yi along, not giving any explanation even when they had left the Grandmaster's estate.

Jing Yi stumbled along until he was sure that Hong Bao wouldn't be able to hear them. Then he grabbed Qiu Ling's arm. ”Qiu Ling, Qiu Ling! Wait! What happened?”

Qiu Ling halted but already took his beloved into his arms as a precaution. ”It's from the Yun Zou Sect. Somebody has come over to take our report again.” He smiled brightly while Jing Yi furrowed his brow.

”But it has only been a week since Senior Martial Brother Qiguan left.”

”Who cares? We already have the letter. Let's go and deliver it so we can return. Wouldn't you rather marry at the Yun Zou Sect, too?”

”So you know.” Jing Yi sighed. ”But, Qiu Ling, what if this is a trap? Maybe someone wants to test whether we're spies or not. If we go there, we'd give ourselves away.”

Qiu Ling froze. Uh, right, that was entirely possible. He shook his head the next moment though. ”There's no need to fuss. Even if you're right and it's just a test, we already have the evidence.” He waved the letter around with a grin. ”If we're exposed, we'll just run away and deliver the letter home. Then they can't force us to return anyway.”

”That sounds horrible.”

”But it's true.” Qiu Ling didn't feel like there was anything wrong with what he said. ”So, let's go. The sooner we meet up with him, the sooner we can leave here.” He leaped up from the ground and flew over to the spot indicated in the message.

They were greeted by the sight of Yu Jin sitting on the ground in meditation.

Jing Yi lifted his brows. ”Senior Martial Brother Yu?”

Qiu Ling followed him in lifting his brows. How odd! This guy had the same name as his beloved's Senior Martial Brother in this Hei Dian Sect!

Yu Jin opened his eyes and nodded. ”I came on my Master's orders to hear what you were able to find out until now.”

”What about Senior Martial Brother Qiguan?” Jing Yi was relieved that this wasn't someone from the Hei Dian Sect testing them but he also couldn't understand why the Yun Zou Sect would send someone after just this short amount of time. The only explanation he could think of was that something might have happened to Qiguan Cheng Da so that the sect hadn't been able to hear what they reported to him.

”There were some complications.”
