Chapter 1000 - You Have a Lot of Questions to Answer! (1/2)

Shun Tao unwittingly heaved a sigh of relief. So seeing him again had not made her go crazy again. Well, not crazy over him, at least. She was still just as crazily in love as she had been in the Nine Heavens, just that the victim of her adoration was another man now.

Having realized this, Shun Tao sat down and gave her a smile. ”Congratulations! It sounds like you're really happy.”

”I am very happy. You have no idea how great my senior martial brother Liu Cheng is. Should I tell a few things about him?”

Shun Tao's lips twitched. He really had no idea how things had suddenly turned out like this. ”Uh … I don't think that's necessary. I wouldn't want to take up that much of your time either. I'm sure you have many important things to do.”

Hearing that, Hong Bao's eyes suddenly went wide. ”You're right! Actually, our Master instructed me to bring a letter to another sect. It seems to be super important so maybe I should hurry up.”

Hong Ai and Shen An De exchanged a glance, seeing a bit of worry in each other's eyes. They had originally asked Qiu Ling to bring Shun Tao here in the hope that Hong Bao would get over Liu Cheng and stay away from the Chun Feng Sect. But now, she had seen him and not had any unusual reaction so it seemed that their plan had failed spectacularly. Now, they would need another approach to make sure that she didn't spend any time in the Chun Feng Sect before all of this was over. After things had been cleared up and there wouldn't be any fights anymore, it didn't matter to them much but Hong Ai just didn't want her little sister to be in danger.

Qiu Ling noticed the gaze that the two of them exchanged and then lazily glanced at Hong Bao. Well, he could probably be a little nice. ”Uh, after you're done with delivering that important letter, you should come back here. There's something I want to talk to you about.”

Hong Bao turned around to him, her attention already recaptured. ”What could that be?”

Qiu Ling just raised his brows. ”Didn't you have some letter to deliver? Why don't you go and do that first? You can still come back afterward and then I'll tell you all about it. I really wouldn't want to hold you back here.”

Hong Bao pursed her lips, not quite happy with this. She really wanted to know what was going on. But whether it was Qiu Ling, Jing Yi, or even her own sister and brother-in-law, they didn't seem to have any thoughts of telling her about it. In the end, she could only turn to look at Shun Tao, hoping that this man would answer this pressing question for her.

Shun Tao went rigid and smiled with a tensed expression. ”I don't know what it's about. Anyway, you'll probably be very fast with delivering that letter, right? Isn't it just flying there and handing it over to somebody?”

Hong Bao perked up when she heard that and nodded hurriedly. ”You're right! Thanks for reminding me. Actually, looking at you that way, you might actually get the eighth position.”

”Uh … Thank you?” Shun Tao really didn't know what else to say.
