Chapter 468 - You Don’t Have to Thank Me (1/2)
Yuchi Bing Xia closed his eyes and stretched out his senses. There were hundreds of arrays in their sect, each of them with a distinctive task. If this was just one of the smaller ones that were used for convenience's sake, it wouldn't matter too much. They could just ignore the matter. Else … Ah, he didn't want to think about it! Their sect definitely didn't have the resources to repair one of the big arrays right now!
He first swept the miscellaneous small arrays with his senses but all of them were intact. His heart sank. Oh, no. Don't tell him his worst nightmare was really coming true!
He frowned and swept the other arrays with his spiritual sense. He cursed. This couldn't be true! He refused to believe this! Why was it the array separating the inner and outer sect grounds?! That was the second biggest, second most expensive array of their sect! And it was their second line of defense in case they were attacked! How could this array just stop working?
Had they already been attacked without him noticing? Had someone broken through their first line of defense with none being the wiser? Could he still save the disciples?
Yuchi Bing Xia wanted to hurry outside but a sudden guest swept into his study.
”Sect Master, I brought Jing'er over!”
Qiu Ling happily smiled while Jing Yi's face flushed red. Was Qiu Ling doing this on purpose? It was bad enough to refuse to just call him by his name normally but why did he have to call him Jing'er in front of the Sect Master? Well, considering it was Qiu Ling he could probably be happy that Qiu Ling hadn't announced that he brought 'his beloved' over.
Yuchi Bing Xia looked from one person to the other. Weren't this … Grandmaster Zhangsun's disciple and his fiance … no, ex-fiance Zhong Jing Yi? Why were they here? Well, whatever, he couldn't care about that now. He had to take care of the matter with the array first! ”Ah, Qiu Ling, you've certainly come for something very important but I'm sorry. I can't deal with it at the moment.”
Qiu Ling blinked. Couldn't deal with it at the moment? But his beloved wanted something from the Sect Master!
Seeing Qiu Ling frown like that Yuchi Bing Xia winced. Why did their Yun Zou Sect only have so few talents? If this was still in their heyday he never would have to justify himself in front of a disciple! ”There is something wrong with one of our arrays.”
Qiu Ling turned to look at Jing Yi proudly. ”See? I told you it was old and stopped functioning!”
Jing Yi's face turned even redder and he looked away. As he had feared Qiu Ling had actually destroyed one of the arrays the sect used. Just how did he expect to explain this?
The Sect Master looked at Qiu Ling blankly. What was this disciple saying? ”You … saw that something was wrong with the array?” Don't tell him this talent was also proficient in arrays. Well, it wouldn't be too strange. After all, the Grandmaster had also some attainment in that area. It wouldn't be strange for him to teach him at least the basics.
