Chapter 792 - It’s Nothing Much (1/2)
While Liu Cheng was still caught up in his conversation with the Sect Master, Hong Bao did indeed finish moving into the courtyard. Well, there was nothing much to do anyway. They hadn't brought anything with them that didn't fit into their bags so she merely went into the room, threw everything onto the table, took a look around and then left again. Nothing was interesting about a room but she hadn't been to the Yun Zou Sect before so having a look around the premises would be much better.
She wandered through the inner sect, looking at the disciples that were training outside and the buildings that were up on the peaks and down in the valley where the outer sect was. She didn't really know where to go and could only walk around aimlessly, hoping that she would happen upon something interesting.
Hong Bao didn't need to look for long. She hadn't gone far when a cultivator in a white robe flashed past her on a sword, making the scent of herbs linger in the air.
Hong Bao's eyes grew wide and she followed him with her gaze, sniffing the air. The demon hunters of the Chun Feng Sect also experimented a lot with herbs but for the most part, they used plants that would have adverse effects on demons or could be used in a fight. They seldom gave off such a nice scent.
Hong Bao wanted to follow the person but with him flying in front at such a fast speed, she wouldn't be able to catch up to him on foot. She stopped walking and pursed her lips. Somebody rushing around like that was probably in trouble. And considering what her senior martial brother Liu had said, they had come here to help the people of the Yun Zou Sect. Hence, she definitely had to catch up to this cultivator and help them out!
After successfully convincing yourself that she had an excuse should Liu Cheng ask her later why she had done what she did, Hong Bao took out her flying sword, jumped onto it and rushed after the person in front of her.
The person in question was none other than Nian Hong Fang who was on his way to meet Qiu Ling and Jing Yi at the courtyard where the Yang Huo Sect disciples were staying. He was concentrating that much on his hopes that he might be able to help the two of them drive away the Yang Huo Sect disciples and thus make the Sect Master pay attention to Zhi Wu's case earlier that he didn't even realize that someone was trailing him.
Nian Hong Fang arrived at the building and leaped from his sword, keeping it in his bag. He nodded at Qiu Ling and Jing Yi and then at Elder Gongxi. ”Senior martial brother Qiu, junior martial brother Jing. Elder Gongxi. I heard that there was something you need my help with?”
Qiu Ling nodded and motioned at Elder Gongxi. ”Yeah, ah, one of his disciples fell sick. But we agreed to have a duel today so … Is there something you can do? Like, get him back onto his feet in an instant? It would be such a pity if he wasn't able to take part in our duel. Just imagine everybody else getting some experience and him having to stand to the side, only able to watch. That'd be so sad!”
Nian Hong Fang didn't know what happened previously but one look at Elder Gongxi's face told him that he wasn't happy at all. Well, it seemed that the Yang Huo Sect's plans had already been countered quite well. If he could help Qiu Ling and Jing Yi deal with this last disciple, then they might indeed be able to drive them off. After all, would the Yang Huo Sect really have the face to stay at the Yun Zou Sect after they were that thoroughly defeated?
Thinking of that, he gave a happy smile and nodded at Elder Gongxi. ”So it's like that. Then please let me take a look at your disciple. I'll do my best to make sure he'll get back on his feet in no time.”
