Chapter 465 - Help Me Out a Bit (1/2)
While Leng Jin Yu and Jinde were sharing a sweet moment Qiu Ling went and did what his predecessor had suggested and went to find Xin Lan. Honestly, this idea wasn't bad at all. Even if Xin Lan himself didn't want to acknowledge it, he was still part of the dragon race so it really wasn't asking too much to have him help out every now and then. Especially after he had refrained from lifting even a single finger for his race in the last couple thousand years.
Naturally, Xin Lan wasn't far from where Jinde was so Qiu Ling finally managed to find him sitting under a tree a few steps away from the house.
Qiu Ling unceremoniously plopped down beside him. ”The old geezer wants you to help me.”
”He said you should ask me for help, not that I'm obliged to help you.” Don't kid him. He had heard every word spoken inside. In fact … he could even hear those two sweet-talking each other in the bedroom.
Ah, his master sounded so happy. It had been the right decision to help that Leng Jin Yu a little. He should probably do even more to make sure his master could feel more secure in this relationship. It was just … His heart squeezed at the thought. Yes, he wanted his master to be happy. But he didn't want him to be happy with that man!
Qiu Ling pursed his lips. ”Well … I could go back inside and tell the old geezer you wouldn't help me. I'm just afraid I might be disturbing him. He seemed pretty busy.”
Xin Lan didn't answer. Maybe it would be good if that boy went and disturbed them. Then he wouldn't have to hear them any longer.
Qiu Ling frowned and stood up. He actually hadn't been serious right now because he was sure that Xin Lan would help him but if he didn't want to then he would naturally go and bother the guy that wanted to sleep with his father. Tch, don't think he'd let him be happy if even he wasn't happy after being engaged for so long!
Xin Lan startled awake and stood up, grabbing Qiu Ling by the shoulder and pulling him back. ”Where do you think you're going?” From inside the house, he heard Leng Jin Yu murmur Jinde's name like a question until only silence remained.
So, his master had fallen asleep. It seemed like all the worries of the last millennia were finally gone. He would become the person he had been before. That man who could laugh with his eyes sparkling and smile when he saw something he liked and bury himself in his study for hours to work on some new recipe. This was good. This was … long overdue.
”That Jin Ling probably just imprisoned them to make some trouble for you. He doesn't have the means to actually hurt you. Not without doing damage to himself. It's just a matter of going in, smashing in some doors and leaving.”
