Chapter 598 - It’s Safer (1/2)

Qiu Ling furrowed his brows. It was all that An Bai's fault! Just why was he coveting his beloved? Couldn't he go find somebody else? Hmph. But this wouldn't stump him! He would find a way to solve this problem too!

”Just call somebody else over!”

”Who?”

”That …” Qiu Ling blanked. Yi Zan was already there, Qiang Wei was supposed to get the note from An Bai who wasn't there. That only left Fu Heng and Fu Min but those two were needed for the last part of his plan. Ah, so difficult! Maybe he could do without either Fu Min or Fu Heng? Or … Qiu Ling straightened up. ”You call Fu Min over!”

”To … guard His Highness?” Xiang Yong couldn't help but want to make sure. His king was just too strange today.

”Of …” Qiu Ling stopped and tightened his lips. He couldn't do this, could he? Fu Min was obviously not paying enough attention to be entrusted with this kind of task! No, he couldn't neglect the protection of his beloved's immortal body! ”Then … have Fu Min come over there and do Qiang Wei's task!”

Qiang Wei blinked and looked over Xiang Yong's shoulder. ”Does this mean I'm not doing anything?”

”Yes! Don't you listen at all? You just guard my beloved! Now tell Fu Min to come over!”

”Of course.” Xiang Yong hurriedly intervened before Qiang Wei could respond. It was best to resolve this quickly whatever 'this' actually was. ”Then I'll contact Fu Min right now.”

”Mn.” Qiu Ling didn't mind and very helpfully cut the connection with Xiang Yong on his own. Mn, while the others were organizing things on their end, he should make sure everything here was prepared.

He took one of the brushes An Bai had neatly arranged on his brush holder, not really caring what kind of brush he had picked up, and dipped it into the ink. He picked up a paper scroll next only to find out that there was something written on it already. Hm … This shouldn't be too important, should it? He flipped the scroll and smeared his message on the back before throwing the brush down next to it.

Great! This should be enough. He put the message he had prepared for Qiang Wei next to it and looked around. Now, he only needed a place where he could hide so Fu Min and the spy wouldn't see him. He pondered and finally still jumped onto one of the beams above his head. Ah, this was a good place! Nobody would find him here! Now, he could only wait.

Back in the Nine Heavens, Xiang Yong tried to establish a connection with Fu Min while Yi Zan and Qiang Wei glanced at each other. It hadn't been that long in the immortal realms since they tried the same even though a lot of time had passed in the mortal realm already.

This time Fu Min didn't need long to answer though. The previous experience with their king had been a good reminder to him and Fu Heng that they couldn't just ignore it if someone tried to contact them. Not as long as the crown prince was in the mortal realm, at least. He really was too easy to target as long as he was a mortal!

”Fu Min?”
