Chapter 768 - None of This Made Sense! (1/2)
Bai Mu dragged Leng Jin Yu away from the repository and finally met up with his father around the corner. ”Where to now?”
Qiang Yan motioned to a small path between two buildings leading away from the Court of Justice. ”Let's go that way. There aren't too many buildings in that direction and it's closer to the edge of the capital. We should take the shortest route possible to leave. The more people see us, the more people will wonder and ask questions. It wouldn't be good if my brother-in-law heard about this.”
Bai Mu nodded and the two of them dragged Leng Jin Yu out of the capital together. They only heaved a sigh of relief though when they left the Nine Heavens altogether and reached the mortal realm. Now, it was unlikely for anybody of the immortal races to see them and the time was also flowing differently, allowing them more time to settle things.
The two of them put Leng Jin Yu down on the ground and exchanged a glance. Well, that was done and they weren't in a hurry anymore. They still had to wake him up though.
Qiang Yan grimaced and then shook his shoulder again. ”Leng Jin Yu. Leng Jin Yu! Wake up already! I don't want to get in trouble with that husband of yours. Leng Jin Yu!”
The person in question furrowed his brows and his eyes opened but his gaze wasn't focused.
Qiang Yan's heart jumped into his throat and he gulped. Don't tell him something had gone wrong? Never mind that he really didn't want to have to go and tell something like that to Jinde, he also didn't want anything to happen to Leng Jin Yu!
From the moment they met, he had had a good impression of this person. Leng Jin Yu had also helped him with Bai Mu's matter, essentially allowing him to meet up with his son again. And, well, considering what he had said before, there was now even the added layer of his connection with Qiu Ling. For all he knew, Qiu Ling should have been very young when his father died. Finding his reincarnation and then having to hear that something happened to him would be hard for him to accept now that they had finally gotten the chance to reunite. At the very least, he was sure that he would feel that way if this was about him and Bai Mu.
Qiang Yan gritted his teeth and raised his hand, waving it in front of Leng Jin Yu's eyes. ”Leng Jin Yu, tell me that you're alright. You haven't injured your soul, have you? Well, other than you yourself cutting it, I mean.”
Leng Jin Yu blinked his eyes and then pushed himself off the ground, sitting up and putting a hand against his forehead. No, he very likely hadn't injured his soul. At the very least, he didn't feel that he had. But his head still hurt. That had more to do with what he had seen though.
That scene … Who could explain it to him? He really wanted to drag his past self out and question him about this. How was he supposed to meet with Jinde now? He couldn't not tell him about it. But then again, there was nothing to say either.
