Chapter 470 - Tell them to Do it Together (1/2)
Yuchi Bing Xia gave a relieved sigh when he finally managed to drive the two disciples off. Ah, this really was too stressful. He had to make sure Yu Jin would soon start to take over so he could concentrate on cultivation instead. Mn, if he managed to attain the next stage, the Yun Zou Sect might also secure a better position again. Yu Jin would certainly understand that this was good for everyone.
He nodded to himself and finally left his palace. The first thing to do was to notify Grandmaster Zhangsun of what his disciple had done. And, well, to demand the cost for repairing the array from him.
He flew over to Zhangsun Xun Yi's peak and slowly walked inside. Ah, he didn't feel too good about this. Grandmaster Zhangsun certainly wasn't unreasonable like his disciple but just like with Qiu Ling the sect also couldn't do without him. Demanding something from a person like that wasn't easy at all.
He slowly approached the room where the Grandmaster was cultivating. Zhangsun Xun Yi had already noticed him and finally opened his eyes when he stepped into the room.
”Grandmaster.”
One look at Yuchi Bing Xia's face was enough for Zhangsun Xun Yi to know that something had happened. If he came to him for that … ”Qiu Ling?”
Yuchi Bing Xia took a seat and sighed. The Grandmaster really knew his disciple too well.
”Is it because of that boy from the outer sect? Is Qiu Ling still bothering you to make him part of the inner sect?”
”No. I already did that yesterday. It's not like we'll lose out or something. The problem is that nobody explained the jade pendant to him so he wasn't able to enter the inner sect today. Your disciple noticed and, well, took some radical measures to help.”
Zhangsun Xun Yi's gaze flickered. Even he couldn't begin to imagine just what Qiu Ling might have come up with.
”Uh … He … kind of destroyed our array. I normally wouldn't bother you with this but you also know that we've fallen to the status of a second-rank sect. There is no way for us to repair the array.” He looked down and sighed. Ah, he couldn't just outright ask for it! ”Uhm … So, do you have any thoughts on this? I don't think we have to expect an attack right now but it doesn't seem too good to just ignore the possibility and leave it like this.”
Zhangsun Xun Yi nodded. ”No, we shouldn't do that.” He pondered, his gaze flickering for a moment. ”Well, if the sect lacks the materials, then we'll have to get them from somewhere.”
Yuchi Bing Xia tightened his lips. Yes! So, please offer to have them come out of your pocket! ”The Grandmaster has an idea?”
Zhangsun Xun Yi nodded. ”The person who did the damage should make up for it. Just ask Qiu Ling to do it. He shouldn't have trouble to find some materials for the array. Just think of how fast he gathered everything needed for the Amethyst Lightning Pill back then.”
Yuchi Bing Xia's eyes lit up. ”Right! Then this shouldn't be too difficult for him. The array might be expensive but disregarding a few rare materials it's mostly the amount needed that results in that. If we give him a spatial ring it shouldn't be a problem to bring them back.”
