Chapter 749 - Just an Idea (1/2)

The two of them kept quiet for a while before Leng Jin Yu turned to the side and raised his brows. ”Was that what you came here for originally?”

Qiu Ling didn't know how to answer. ”Originally … I think originally, I just wanted to flee. And I guess I promised him to ask you or my Master about cultivation. Since, well, he wants to hurry up. As I said.”

”I see. Well, if you really don't want to get involved anymore, then it wouldn't be a good idea to ask, would it?”

Qiu Ling shook his head. ”Then what? I can pretend not to have found either of you for a while but I can't do so forever. And I can't just vanish on him, can I? I'm afraid that might just motivate him to cultivate even faster so that he can go and look for me in the dragon realm. Ah, I did everything wrong.”

Leng Jin Yu didn't say anything about that. Obviously, Qiu Ling was currently caught in a loop of his own thoughts. Whatever he said, it would go over Qiu Ling's head. He wouldn't listen at all. Instead, he looked at the courtyard from this perspective. To be honest, even though he had seen the image of this courtyard several times, it had always been from the same perspective. He had been the one leaning in the corridor, looking out at the courtyard and seeing the person below the tree. Because of that, he didn't actually know how the corridor looked. When he crafted it just now, he had taken a lot of freedom with filling in the blanks.

He glanced at Qiu Ling and then motioned over. ”That corridor, did it look like that in reality too?”

Qiu Ling glanced up and his thoughts slowly returned to the place at hand. ”Well, not much has changed since back then. The palace is like that. They built it one time and then for the next few generations, it'll just stay the same. It's a little strange. It makes you feel like … you don't have your own life. You're just one king in a row of many. Kind of sad, don't you think?”

”I was there.” Leng Jin Yu didn't answer the question and instead took out the transmission stone that he had gotten from Bai Mu, handing it over to Qiu Ling. ”Here. It's yours. You left it with Bai Mu and never got it back. I went to get it for you. You should make sure that it doesn't happen again. People won't be able to contact you if something happens.”

”How much more can happen?” Even though he said so, Qiu Ling put the stone into his spatial ring. ”Anyway, how much of the palace do you remember?”

”Nothing but this. But even that is …” He shook his head. ”Not all of it was actually a memory. I only remembered one image and it wasn't complete. I only guessed about how the rest might look. If you want to, you can help me craft it. Jinde would probably like it.”

Qiu Ling pursed his lips. ”Are you sure? That is the place where you left him alone after you took your wife and child away, isn't it?”
