Chapter 308 - Such a Beautiful Place (1/2)
While Qiguan Cheng Da and Jin Ling had gone outside to discuss their plan someone inside had tried to set his own plan in motion. The person who had noticed who Jin Ling was, was none other than Xiao Dong who was still in the Yun Zou Sect to divert Shao Hai's attention on the command of his king.
In the past year since he had seen that Qiu Ling had become a disciple of the sect too and that Jing Yi would most likely become an inner sect disciple, he had started to work hard to have Shao Hai and himself likewise admitted into the inner sect.
With his dragon blood and the sword skills taught by his father as a basis, it hadn't taken long before he realized his plan. In fact, he had even been taken in by one of the Elders and was chosen to follow him to the secret realm now.
Seeing Jin Ling he turned around to the Elder next to him. ”Master, seeing that it's still a bit of time can I go to say farewell to Brother Shao?”
The Elder sighed. He knew how close the two of them were but Shao Hai wasn't talented enough to enter the secret realm with them. In fact, if not for Xiao Dong, he wouldn't even have managed to become part of the inner sect this fast. ”It's a secret mission. We can't let anyone know.”
”I won't tell him about the realm or anything. I'd just say that I'm going on a mission. Please?”
Faced with his disciple's eager expression the Elder finally couldn't take it any longer. ”Alright. But hurry up.”
”Mn. I'll be back right away.” Xiao Dong didn't take the front gate but ran out through one of the doors at the side puzzling his Master, as well as the Sect Master.
Grandmaster Zhangsun watched the boy leave with a contemplative expression. One just had to take a look at Xiao Dong's golden hair to know that he wasn't a normal person. With what he knew about that man in the special dimension and his own disciple, it was obvious that this child was a dragon, too. Now, this dragon had run out in such a conspicuous way. Something was up.
The last thing that happened and that might make him take another way outside was obviously the appearance of that person talking to Qiguan Cheng Da now. The boy probably didn't know about the person in the special dimension so maybe he was trying to reach his disciple? Just who was that Jin Ling?
Xiao Dong didn't dare tarry. He flew down the mountain and sped into a little grove at the foot of the peak of his own Master. He took out a transmission stone and imbued it with his energy. The stone started to pulse with a white light but the signal didn't stabilize.
Xiao Dong hit the tree next to him. ”Fuck!” How was he supposed to warn His Majesty now? He hurriedly took back his energy. If he couldn't reach his mother, then he might still be able to reach his father. Once again, he tried to establish a connection but nothing happened.
He instantly grew flustered. What to do now? This was one of the exceedingly simple stones that could only be used to connect with a few people! He couldn't even reach his uncle Yi Zan through it!
Before he had the chance to try reaching his parents once again, his wrist was hit and the stone flew out of his hand. Xiao Dong took on a battle stance and looked up but he was faced with a smiling face. ”You …”
