Chapter 479 - His Fiance (1/2)

Qiu Ling blinked his eyes in puzzlement. Why was his beloved looking at him this way? Had he done something wrong? ”My love —”

Jing Yi's brows knitted together and he turned further away. Ah, he definitely didn't want to hear Qiu Ling call him that way. It brought back too many memories.

Wu Min Huan looked from Jing Yi to Qiu Ling and back again. ”Junior martial brother Zhong, this person is …”

”His fiance!” Qiu Ling made a point of putting an arm around Jing Yi's waist just to make sure this person wouldn't be as shameless as the Sect Master's other disciple and try to seduce his beloved too.

Naturally, the arm was wrested down. ”This is Grandmaster Zhangsun's disciple, Qiu Ling.”

”His fiance!” Qiu Ling reiterated and lifted his chin.

”Uh …” Wu Min Huan once again glanced from one person to the other before his gaze stopped at Jing Yi's face. ”So you're engaged to the Grandmaster's disciple? Congratulations!”

Qiu Ling beamed. Ah, this senior martial brother Wu wasn't bad at all!

Jing Yi, on the other hand, felt the urge to facepalm. He really had to find a way to make Qiu Ling give up or everyone would misunderstand sooner or later. What if Tian managed to find him here and heard that he was engaged to somebody else? Wouldn't he feel betrayed? After all, he had promised to never love another man. Well, that promise might have been given silently but he was sure Tian had felt it. There was no way his love could have stayed undetected.

Wu Min Huan straightened up when Jing Yi didn't clarify. This was the first assignment he got from his Master in such a long time and now it turned out that the person he was supposed to help settle in was actually the fiance of the Grandmaster's disciple. This was such an important task! Could it be his good luck was finally about to turn around again? Maybe that hateful junior martial brother Yu had fallen from grace?! Ah, that would be too great!

In his excitement, he grabbed Jing Yi's hands. ”Don't worry, junior martial brother Zhong! I'll get you the perfect accommodations for your goal! Actually, looking at you I can see you're hard-working and polite. Just the perfect disciple to go to the Alchemy peak! Let's just go there and see if the Grandelder would take you in immediately. No need to wait.”

”Ah, but —”

Jing Yi's protest was interrupted by Qiu Ling's hands that couldn't help but pluck Wu Min Huan's hands off his beloved. Hmph. He had been wrong about this guy! He was just as shameless as that other guy the Sect Master had taken in!

Wu Min Huan didn't mind. ”Please, don't be courteous. Let's go over right now!” He took out a sword, stepped on it and flew over as fast as he could. Ah, he had to finish this task perfectly so his Master would understand just how much better than that junior martial brother Yu he was! In his haste, he didn't even notice that Jing Yi wasn't behind him.

Jing Yi sighed when he saw Wu Min Huan speed off. There was nothing he could do. He might have cultivated a lot in the secret realm and finally managed to attain the third stage but he still hadn't learned how to use it exactly. Neither could he manipulate the elements around him to do anything, nor could he fly on a sword. Thus in this situation, he could only walk over to the Alchemy peak if Wu Min Huan didn't take him.

He wanted to go when a certain someone once again latched onto him. Qiu Ling grabbed his arm and jumped in front of him, smiling brightly. ”My love, do you want to follow him to the Alchemy peak?”
