Chapter 600 - Had He Found Him? (1/2)
Back in the demon realm, Jin Ling stared intently at the mirror in his hands, waiting for Qiguan Cheng Da to speak even though he could hardly concentrate. Jinde! This guy might have seen his Jinde! If it was true … If it was true, then they could finally reunite!
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He had to concentrate. He couldn't miss even the smallest detail. This concerned Jinde, after all. Everything he could find out about him was valuable. He had to know all about his situation to leave a good first impression on him when they finally reunited. The mistakes of the past … he had to make Jinde forget about them.
Jin Ling opened his eyes and smiled. ”So? What about that person?”
”The person I saw had indeed golden hair. He came to the Yun Zou Sect several years ago and has stayed there most of the time since then.”
Jin Ling's breath caught in his throat. ”Is he there right now?”
Qiguan Cheng Da pondered. ”I'm not sure. He hasn't been going out much lately.”
Jin Ling straightened up. Naturally, he's hiding from me! This fit. This fit Jinde! He didn't know where Jinde could have been before but 'coming to the Yun Zou Sect' might also mean that this Qiguan Cheng Da had only seen him for the first time several years ago. And hadn't it been quite a while since he happened upon the special dimension in the Yun Zou Sect? Most likely, Jinde had been hiding in that special dimension before that but because he went there, Jinde hadn't dared to return so he had tried to hide away somewhere else in the sect. Fortunately, there were no other places in the sect that allowed him to stay so completely hidden like before and thus, some of the disciples had seen him. It truly was his luck to happen upon that special dimension!
”I see. Tell me more! How did he seem to you? Was he happy?”
Qiguan Cheng Da snorted. ”Naturally, he was. Who wouldn't if they were a talent like him? Ah, I'd really like to know what it is with the people around that Zhong Jing Yi. All of them are talents. Is his face really that useful?”
Jin Ling's grip around the mirror tightened. What was this shameless human insinuating? That his beloved Jinde would fall in love with a filthy human?! His Jinde would never be interested in someone like that! No, Jinde wasn't like that. Jinde was someone who loved with his whole heart. Just thinking back to how gentle his gaze would turn when he thought about that man or that deeply hurt smile … He wouldn't casually hook up with someone he didn't love. He'd need to have a very, very good reason to betray that person. It had been liked that back then and it would be the same now.
Qiguan Cheng Da had no idea that he had touched the reverse scale of the person on the other side of the mirror and just went on. ”Well, this might not actually be about that Zhong Jing Yi. That guy shouldn't be as strong as Grandmaster Zhangsun's disciple so maybe he hoped to get some benefits from sharing that person with him.”
Jin Ling snorted. ”Not as strong? I doubt you're seeing the situation as clearly as you think you are.”
Qiguan Cheng Da gave a ridiculing smile. ”What do you know? If he was indeed as strong, then he wouldn't have become the disciple of some normal Elder. He should have at least been taken in by the Sect Master. Since that wasn't the case …”
”Taken in as a disciple?” Jin Ling frowned. Why would Jinde do that? He couldn't feel the need to hide away that well. Completely impossible. Even though he might not regard him as his lover yet, he should at least still see him as his child, shouldn't he?
