Chapter 994 - Ally with the Other Sects (1/2)

At the same time, Hong Ai finally managed to find out where Qiu Ling and Jing Yi were staying. She knocked on the door of the hut and stepped inside when Jing Yi responded. ”That person from the Nine Heavens arrived.”

Qiu Ling who had still been staring at Jing Yi gave her a dubious look. ”Then what are you doing here?”

”Uh … He asked to see you.”

Qiu Ling cocked an eyebrow but didn't seem as if he wanted to get up at all. ”And? He isn't here to see me, is he? He is here to see your sister. So you should run and grab her instead of wasting your time disturbing us.”

Next to him, Jing Yi rubbed his forehead. Couldn't Qiu Ling say things a little more nicely? Even though he wasn't wrong, this wasn't a good way to put it. ”Hong Ai, I'm sorry. Qiu Ling just means to say that it could be that this person doesn't really want to see your sister. So maybe it would be better to get her and just bring her there so she can meet him instead of just letting him see Qiu Ling. If he asked him directly, he might refuse.”

Qiu Ling nodded. This wasn't really what he had thought but it was a very good excuse for getting rid of her.

Hong Ai put on a pensive expression and then nodded slowly. ”You might be right about that. I actually thought that you could explain to him before but I guess it's really better to just bring her over. Now, I only need an excuse to get Hong Bao to come here. If something else is up in the Chun Feng Sect — which is likely with everything else going on — she might not be willing to come here.”

Qiu Ling raised his brows and took some time to ponder the issue. Anyway, that servant girl seeing the Fate's Scribe was a prerequisite for him getting the sword and being able to try his theory. And that, in turn, was necessary to teach the Chun Feng Sect a lesson and get these people out of there.

”Well, I'm having a fight with some guy from your sect tomorrow. Just tell her that it might be exciting to watch. Considering how much she loves chaos, she should probably be willing to come here and have a look.”

Hong Ai raised her brows but finally nodded. Indeed, there was a good chance that Hong Bao would be interested in that. ”Very well. Then I'll go bring her back. Would it be alright to bring her here first and then go over together? I mean the plan is to have that man see her but it might be a little too obvious if I don't even bring you back when you're the person he asked for.”

Qiu Ling pursed his lips and already wanted to disagree when Jing Yi responded.

”But of course! We wouldn't want to make any more trouble for you. You're doing us a favor, after all.”
