Chapter 973 - Asking for Advice (1/2)

Back outside, Qiu Ling finally gave up with a huff. He was sure that these two had definitely noticed that he was there and just didn't want to open up the realm. Hmph. Well, he didn't need them. He might as well go and ask somebody else.

He turned away but then didn't really know who to go to. In the mortal realm, there was still that so-called Master of his but he had no idea about the trials or Tian's curse that made the dragons unable to love more than one person. It seemed that there was nobody he could go to. In that case, he would only be able to go to the immortal realms but that would take a lot of time.

He glanced in the direction of the bamboo hut and furrowed his brows. Originally, he had only gone out to ask these two a few questions. He would have been back soon enough that his beloved might not even notice. But if he went to the immortal realms … With the difference in time, it might even be a few days until he returned if he wasn't careful and then his beloved would definitely wonder what was going on. And he certainly couldn't leave without saying anything.

He hesitated and finally went back to the bamboo hut. He lay down next to Jing Yi again, closing his eyes and trying to fall asleep again.

Two hours later, Qiu Ling still hadn't managed to do so. It was one thing if this only happened once and he rejected Jing Yi but it would be a completely different thing if this happened again. He couldn't just ignore what had happened. He needed to find a solution.

Qiu Ling got up once again and this time, he took out a scroll of paper from his spatial ring, as well as the ink and brush, and then wrote a short message for Jing Yi, putting it down on the table. He sighed and took a last look at his beloved and then left the hut and rushed toward the Nine Heavens.

He went straight for the palace of the Heavenly Empress. After all, who would be able to give him better advice than his mother-in-law? Well, his father and the old geezer probably would've been a better alternative but since these two didn't want to help him, she was still the best person to go to. At the very least, his mother-in-law would never shut him out. He was sure of that!

When Qiu Ling peeked through the window into her room, he unfortunately had to realize that Bai Fen wasn't in though.

He sighed. ”She's probably at her husband's palace at this time, wouldn't she? Does that mean I would have to see that bastard as well? But he'd probably just disturb us and then Jing Yi will have to wait even longer for me to return.”

Qiu Ling pondered for a moment and then decided not to go to the Heavenly Emperor's palace. Anyway, he didn't trust Jing He's father. So it might be better to look for another alternative.

Qiu Ling continued to ponder for a while and then his expression lit up. He rushed over to another palace and went to look for the owner's personal rooms. He hadn't been here very often so he wasn't quite sure where to look but after searching around for a while, he finally stumbled upon the right one. He rushed in and wanted to shake the person awake only to be met with the sharp end of a sword.
