Chapter 788 - Still Underestimated Him (1/2)

Thinking of that, Elder Gongxi took a deep breath. ”I'm sure that the situation of my Yang Huo Sect's disciples wouldn't be this disastrous. Why don't we just go and see what the results will be?”

Qiu Ling chuckled. ”Sure. Should I have somebody bring over a chair for your sick disciple?”

Elder Gongxi couldn't help but take another deep breath. Was this guy still going on about that? Well, it seemed he wouldn't easily get around this. ”I'm not sure if that would be such a good idea. Suddenly falling this sick, there might be something up. It would be better if he rested a while longer.”

Jing Yi couldn't help but look at Qiu Ling hurriedly. It was reasonable to let the disciple rest if he was seriously sick. How would they get around this?

Qiu Ling brushed through his hair and gave him a reassuring smile. ”My love, look at you! Are you this worried about him? Well, what Elder Gongxi just said does sound quite dangerous. Who knows if there won't be some hidden problems that might impede his cultivation? Maybe it would be better if he had somebody take a look. What about the peak master …” Qiu Ling pondered. Wasn't there some peak master that was supposed to be good with pills and herbs and stuff? What was his name again?

Jing Yi smiled. ”Ah, you mean we could ask the Grandelder? Yes, that's a good idea!”

Elder Gongxi's lips tightened. ”The Yun Zou Sect sure is accommodating, even wanting to ask the Grandelder's help on our disciple's behalf. But the Grandelder must surely be very busy. We shouldn't trouble him with this.”

This time, Jing Yi perked up and his eyes sparkled. He knew how to deal with this! ”Elder Gongxi might be right. The Grandelder is a very busy person. Ah, but don't you worry! I've actually had the luck to meet his head disciple, Nian Hong Fang, before. I'm sure senior martial brother Nian would be willing to lend a hand. Even though he can't boast to be at the Grandelder's level yet, he learned a lot from his Master and will certainly be able to help you disciple out.”

Qiu Ling nodded happily along. ”Yes! My beloved is right. Maybe Nian … Hong Fang will be able to make sure that your disciple will get back onto his feet in just a moment. Then he can even join in on the duel.” He turned to Jing Yi and smiled.

Right now, he regretted a bit that he hadn't taught Jing Yi how to fly yesterday. If he had, then he would be able to send him to get that Nian Hong Fang right now. Now though … He could hardly leave on his own and let Jing Yi remain here with these guys, could he? Even though Jing Yi had managed to react well just now, he still wasn't that used to this kind of scheming. He might get caught in Elder Gongxi's trap if he was alone. He couldn't let that happen. In that case …

Qiu Ling wanted to take out his transmission stone and ask his father to help when he remembered that the person in question wasn't even there. Ah, now of all times! And he couldn't ask the old geezer to pass along a message to anybody either. After all, he himself wasn't in the sect and who knew where that Xin Lan had vanished to? It seemed he'd have to think of something else.

Qiu Ling pursed his lips. He didn't know too many people in the Yun Zou Sect but it wasn't like any of them would have a transmission stone that he could connect to. After all, these guys still used those super old-fashioned paper cranes that —
