Chapter 494 - It Would Hurt Him Less (1/2)

Jing Yi left the Grandmaster's palace in a daze. He held a list of ingredients in his hand but didn't really know what to do with it. Keep the manual and go on a mission, with Qiu Ling out of all people even … How would that turn out? He couldn't imagine anything else but chaos when he thought of it. After all, Qiu Ling hadn't given up yet and his own heart wasn't as unperturbed by Qiu Ling's presence as he would have liked.

”Junior martial brother Zhong!” Wu Min Huan called out to him with a tight voice.

Jing Yi hurried over. ”What is it? Did something happen?”

Wu Min Huan wordlessly pointed to the unrestricted area of the inner sect that all disciples could enter. A lot of people had gathered there and clamored while they looked on in awe as two people clashed again and again. Or, well, one of them tried to clash with the other while the second one evaded all of the time. He didn't look like he was very successful with that though.

Jing Yi frowned. They were too far away to make out more than the general happenings down there but looking at that black and that white spot … Wasn't that Qiu Ling?! After all, there shouldn't be anyone else shameless enough to wear a black robe in the Yun Zou Sect when the official robes for the disciples were white.

Jing Yi rubbed his brow and held back a groan before he turned to Wu Min Huan. ”Senior martial brother Wu, could I trouble you to bring me down there? That looks a lot like Qiu Ling. I'd like to make sure everything is alright.”

Wu Min Huan nodded. ”Of course! It's only natural that you're worried about your fiance. I would have gone to take a closer look if I hadn't been worried you might see and not know how to get down there fast. Come on then.” He unsheathed his sword and the two of them flew off once again. A few minutes later, they had already reached the unrestricted area.

Jing Yi's expression twisted. The person in the black robe was indeed none other than Qiu Ling. As for the person he was going after … Jing Yi frowned even more when he saw the familiar face. Why was Qiu Ling trying to injure senior martial brother Yu?!

”Qiu Ling!”

Qiu Ling stopped in mid-flight and retracted his claws, brushing back his hair and smoothing out his sleeves to make sure he looked presentable. ”My love!” He turned around to greet his beloved but the words got stuck in his throat when he saw Jing Yi's furious expression.

Uh. It couldn't be that his beloved was angry because he had tried to teach that shameless bastard a lesson, could it?

”My love!” He called out again, his voice sounding pitiful as if he was the one who had been wronged.
