Chapter 417 - How Do You Know Him? (1/2)

Qiu Ling closed his eyes. ”Don't worry about that. I wouldn't miss my own wedding. Let's go!” He clutched Bai Mu's shoulder and pulled himself up but he didn't look too well.

”Are you sure you can go on?”

Qiu Ling turned to stare at him. Was his uncle-in-law's son an idiot? Even if he had to crawl out of here, he'd still have to do it! Otherwise wouldn't those stupid demon hunters imprison him too? Ah, there was no use in talking to him.

He turned around, let go of Bai Mu's shoulder and walked forward. His speed had reduced considerably though and he swayed every few steps. Bai Mu wanted to say more but finally reconsidered. He didn't even know who these people were. He really wasn't in the position to say anything.

Hong Bao hurried past Xin Lan and fell into step beside Bai Mu. She looked up at him curiously. ”So, how do you know Senior Martial Brother Qiu?”

”Senior Martial Brother Qiu?”

”Mn. Qiu Ling!” Hong Bao pointed to the front where Qiu Ling was trying to make his way through the corridor without touching the Blood Gem embedded in the walls. Until now, they still hadn't even reached the halfway mark of their way out.

Bai Mu raised his brows. ”He is part of the Chun Feng Sect?”

Hong Bao shook her head. ”No. Why would you think so?”

”Well, you're wearing the robes of the Chun Feng Sect and if he's your Senior Martial Brother …”

”Oh, no, actually he's from the Hei Dian Sect.”

”Hei Dian Sect?” Bei Mu frowned. Wasn't that the premier heretic sect of this day? At least it had been when he was imprisoned. ”Then how is he related to you?”

”Oh, you see my sister, that's Hong Ai, she married Shen An De who is the Grandmaster of the Hei Dian Sect so she's his Senior Martial Sister or maybe she's his Senior Martial Aunt? Or maybe just his Martial Aunt?” She frowned and pursed her brows. ”That doesn't seem right either. If Brother An De is the Grandmaster, then isn't she the Grandmistress? Or, no, the Grandmadam?”

”I don't think there is such a position.”

”Oh. Then maybe she is just his Senior Martial Sister? Well, anyway since they're fellow disciples and I'm her sister I'm his Martial Sister too, right?”

”Uh …” Bai Mu had no idea what to say.

This somehow seemed … odd. Well, at least it made a little more sense now that this man would come to save him. After all, hadn't it been his mother and father who established the Hei Dian Sect back then? Maybe they had somehow found out that he was imprisoned here and had sent someone to help. It was just a pity that this person had turned out to have even more demon blood than him.

”So, how do you know Senior Martial Brother Qiu?” Hong Bao finally remembered her original question.

”We don't know each other. I've seen him for the first time today.”
