Chapter 773 - Mixed Feelings (1/2)
The disciple of the Yang Huo Sect took another look at Qiu Ling. He hadn't been at the Gathering of Practitioners back then so he had no idea what the Grandmaster's disciple looked like. Was this really him? Damn. He looked nothing like it! This guy wasn't even wearing the sect robes of the Yun Zou Sect!
Wait. The disciple narrowed his eyes. Could it be that these two were trying to trick him? One of them was wearing the official robe of the Yun Zou Sect but maybe they were trying to get rid of their Yang Huo Sect so they had gotten somebody to pretend to be the Grandmaster's disciple? Considering how daring these guys had been when they ganged up on their senior martial brother Zhou, it wouldn't be strange at all!
He scoffed and then motioned at Qiu Ling's robe. ”Who is supposed to believe that? You look nothing like a Yun Zou Sect disciple!”
Qiu Ling frowned and looked down at himself. ”How do I not look like one?”
”Your robe!”
”What's with it?”
”It's not the official robe. It looks nothing like it. It's not even white!” Actually, which righteous cultivator would demean themselves and wear a black robe? Shouldn't these two try a little harder if they wanted to trick him?
Qiu Ling looked at his robe. Indeed. It wasn't white. But what was so bad about that? ”What's wrong with wearing a black robe? I look good in black.” He turned to look at his beloved to make sure he thought so same. Wasn't he more handsome in black?
Jing Yi couldn't help but smile. Was that what he was worried about the most? ”Mn, you do look good in black. Anyway.” He turned back to the disciple of the Yang Huo Sect. ”Grandmaster Zhangsun isn't too strict with his disciple on following the rules as long as it isn't an official occasion. Now, if we could trouble you to inform Elder Gongxi that we've come here …” He didn't ask to be brought there anymore. He had already done that once and had been rejected and Qiu Ling hadn't been wrong with what he said: Sure, these people were their guests but they were already giving them a lot of face by sending the Grandmaster's disciple over to greet them despite their previous conflict. That was already giving them face. Nobody could expect the Yun Zou Sect to humble themselves further.
The disciple pursed his lips. He was afraid that they were really trying to make fun of him and would have a good laugh if he went and told the Elder about them. But if this was indeed the Grandmaster's disciple …
He looked from Jing Yi to Qiu Ling and back again. Rumor had it that the Grandmaster's disciple had a lover in the sect … Maybe this really was him? He hesitated but finally nodded. ”Very well. Then I'll go and tell the Elder. I hope for you that you said the right thing!” He didn't wait for their response and turned around with a huff.
