Chapter 858 - Longjun Jinde (1/2)

Qiu Ling went over to the rooms where Jinde and Leng Jin Yu were staying and opened the door without even knocking.

On the other side of the transmission stone, Qiang Yan's eyes bulged. This guy … he was really unafraid of everything, wasn't he? Who would dare to barge into Jinde's room like that? Actually, who would dare to barge into a married couple's room? Who knew what they'd be doing?

To both of their surprise, the room was empty though. Qiu Ling raised his brows and then went over to the door on the other side, stepping into the courtyard. Sure enough, Leng Jin Yu was sitting next to the lake.

Qiu Ling went over and poked his shoulder. ”My uncle-in-law wants to speak to the old geezer.”

Leng Jin Yu opened his eyes and looked at that so-called son of his with a complicated gaze. ”He's in there, healing. I don't think you should disturb him.”

”I'm not the one disturbing him.” Qiu Ling waved the transmission stone. ”I'd much rather spend time with my beloved anyway.”

Leng Jin Yu nodded. ”I can imagine. Maybe I'd be able to help the God of War?” He didn't know what this was about but he'd rather not disturb Jinde. It was important for him to finally heal his soul. If it could be achieved even a moment sooner, he would gladly make that happen.

Qiu Ling stopped waving the stone and instead sat down next to Leng Jin Yu, turning it so that he could see it.

Qiang Yan nodded at him. ”Leng Jin Yu.”

”God of War. What might this be about?”

”I only have a question. If you are able to answer it, I wouldn't want to disturb Longjun Jinde.”

Leng Jin Yu's smile grew a little strained. 'Longjun Jinde'. He had never heard anybody refer to him like that. It … felt strange. His gaze grew distant and he felt like he heard somebody calling from far away.

”Longjun. Longjun!”

”Mn …” There was a hum that sounded very much like the teasing tone of Jinde. ”Seems like work is calling again. What a pity.”

”Mn.” He also hummed, a low tone that he couldn't quite associate with himself but he had obviously been the one who issued the sound. Steps receded and finally, he sighed. ”That robe looks good on you though.” Most likely, the other person hadn't heard it though.

”Leng Jin Yu?”

The call pulled Leng Jin Yu back out of his thoughts. He raised his brows and shook his head. ”I'm sorry. What did you say?”

Qiang Yan smiled wryly. He had never seen Leng Jin Yu like that. Was this what marriage did to a man? Had he also been like that back when … He cleared his throat and decisively pushed the thought aside. He still didn't know what had happened to her. It was better not to dwell on it. ”I was asking about Senior Xin Lan. Does he know about Longjun Jinde?”
