Chapter 342 - Until the End of Time (1/2)

Yu Jin?

Jinde who was still in hiding perked up. Was that the name of the person who lived here? Was this … Chun Yin's reincarnation? He lifted his hand and rubbed his chest, his gaze lingering on the scroll of paper in Yuchi Bing Xia's hands. Could it really be? After all this time he had finally found him?

Jinde stepped out and gently cleared his throat. ”Yu Jin … Might that be the person living here?”

Yuchi Bing Xia whirled around and lifted his hand, caution written in his eyes. He hadn't noticed somebody entering behind him and couldn't help but feel a sense of dread. As soon as he saw the person behind him he relaxed though. So it turned out this was the person he had been looking for.

He lowered his hand and smiled awkwardly. ”Ah, I'm sorry. I didn't notice you were here.”

Jinde just smiled. Since his injury back then there wasn't any kind of energy that could be detected from him. Even that of his soul was greatly diminished. It would have been a miracle if a human could notice him.

”I'm sorry for scaring you, sect master.” Jinde looked at the insignia Yuchi Bing Xia was wearing on his belt. He shouldn't have made any mistake, right? This person was indeed Yun Zou Sect's sect master?

Yuchi Bing Xia hurriedly shook his head. ”I don't dare to accept your apology. It's my fault for not paying better attention. Mn, actually, I was searching for you. Or … Grandmaster Zhangsun was.”

”Oh?”

”You probably left that place because of that person who came to our sect? That … Jin Ling?”

Jinde nodded but his gaze swiveled back to the painting in Yuchi Bing Xia's hands. He didn't want to talk about that. He just wanted to know more about that Yu Jin. ”I did. I didn't know where to go, though, so I ended up occupying this house. I hope I haven't made problems for anyone?” He lifted his gaze once again and gave a slight smile.

Yuchi Bing Xia gulped. Beautiful people really shouldn't smile like that … He felt like his heart would stop beating any moment now. ”No … You certainly wouldn't trouble anyone.”

Jinde nodded. ”The person living here …”

”Ah, Yu Jin! He's … He went out on a mission.”

”So it's like that.” Jinde stepped to the window and looked outside. So he might have missed him by just a few days. ”In that case … would it be alright for me to stay here a little longer?”

Yuchi Bing Xia hurriedly nodded. ”Of course, of course.”

”Then … how long will he be gone?” He turned to look at Yuchi Bing Xia and noticed out of the corner of his eye how the sect master tensed up for a moment. Jinde lowered his gaze.

What was this about? There shouldn't be a problem with what he had just asked, should it?
