Chapter 634 - Save a Tragic Couple with Me (1/2)
Zhangsun Xun Yi gazed at the person opposite him. He didn't know what to say. No cultivator would randomly propose such a thing. But this person was Grandmaster Leng the one who paved his way from a prodigy with the sword to a cultivator that was far out of the reach of all those countless talents the sects had heralded in his youth. Many people had gnashed their teeth in anger at the mere thought of his name and nobody had been able not to envy him.
Ah, he still remembered how Hua Min and he had looked at Hua Min's Master with sparkling eyes when they were young after they found out that he was friends with that legendary figure.
This kind of person wouldn't carelessly say anything. And what he had said made sense. Maybe they had been too rigid in their thinking.
He finally nodded. ”Should this be implemented in the future when you take over the sect or …”
”No, I think it would be better to set things in motion now.”
”Then I will talk to Sect Master Yuchi. This is a decision he has to make and it will take time to convince the Elders.”
Leng Jin Yu nodded. ”That is true. We should first work on convincing Elders that took in disciples from the outer sect.”
”There shouldn't be too many.”
”What about the one that took in Xiao Dong and Shao Hai? They were originally in the outer sect but then rose after some years and are now direct disciples. I also heard that Elder Geng's disciple was part of the outer sect first.”
”Mn, that's true. I'll bring that up with the Sect Master.”
Leng Jin Yu nodded. ”Then … was there something else? Otherwise …” He looked at the house. He didn't have to hurry that much but it was still better to make sure if Jinde knew a way how to help Nie Huang gain spirit veins. After all, they would need to search for another way if he didn't and that might take more time than they had.
”Oh. No. Then I won't keep you any longer.” Zhangsun Xun Yi clasped his hands and bowed before hurrying away to the Sect Master's peak.
Leng Jin Yu sighed. He really wasn't used to this. Back in the Jian Yi Sect, he might have had a high status but after reaching that far he had seldom shown himself. And afterward, in the Nine Heavens, he hadn't been more than an idle ascended deity. That was higher than a servant but it still wasn't much of a status. The only ones who would have treated him this way might have been the guards and the servants and since he mostly stayed inside the courtyard of the idle gods …
He shook his head and returned to his own house. Grandmaster Zhangsun was somebody who knew how to behave. He would treat him like this based on seniority alone but he wouldn't dare to do so in front of others. After all, he had to keep his identity hidden. Just imagining what might happen if somebody got behind this … He rubbed his brow and sighed.
”My dear husband.” Jinde came out of the study, his golden brows raised. ”What happened to make you look like this?” He grabbed Leng Jin Yu's shoulders and then rubbed his chest.
”The Grandmaster got behind my identity. But seeing you I already feel much better.” He leaned forward and kissed him.
”Mn. Does this mean you've finished that business with Qiu Ling? Good that you left the bear child behind.”
”Not yet.”
”Hmph.” Jinde let go and wanted to leave but Leng Jin Yu reached out and pulled him back into his arms.
”Would you want to save a tragic couple with me?”
