Chapter 1019 - You Have to Convince Him (1/2)

While Jinde had been organizing everything, Jing Yi had done as Qiu Ling had asked him to and gone to Grandmaster Shen's palace. While he was led inside by one of the servants, he couldn't help but worry.

Even though they had come to know Shen An De because of the matter with Hong Bao and had gotten along quite well so far, it was still the truth that the Hei Dian Sect was a sect of demonic practitioners while the Yun Zou Sect was a righteous sect. Normally, the rift between these two sides was unable to be bridged.

He wasn't too sure if there was a chance that Shen An De would really agree to this. And, unfortunately, Qiu Ling hadn't sounded too sure about whatever he was planning to do. Thus, the chance of Ma Zhi Wu recovering might not be too high.

He couldn't help but think of Nian Hong Fang when he came to that realization. Right now, that senior martial brother of his had to feel horrible. He really hoped that he would be able to convince the Grandmaster to help them.

Shen An De was once again sitting in the courtyard, sipping a cup of tea while he watched his wife practice with the sword. Hearing the footsteps approach, he put down the cup and raised his brows when he saw that it was Jing Yi. ”Did something go wrong with what Longjun was trying to do?”

Jing Yi shook his head while Hong Ai stopped her practice and came over as well, motioning at the table.

”Why don't you come over and sit down? Tell us slowly what's going on.”

Shen An De nodded, seemingly not concerned at all with their frequent visits. Considering the fact that he definitely knew that they had actually come here as spies previously, he really was quite relaxed.

Jing Yi gave an embarrassed smile at that but then still went over. ”I'm really sorry about this. Actually, there's a rather presumptuous request I'd like to make.”

Shen An De raised his brows. ”What kind of thing might that be?” Even when it had been about his wife's sword, he had only taken advantage of that because he knew that there was something she wanted. If it was a small matter, he might've just let it go since the other person was the head of the dragon race. Jing Yi was a bit more concerned about these kinds of things than his fiance so he couldn't help but wonder what it might be if he himself called it presumptuous.

Jing Yi furrowed his brows and looked down, not quite sure how to say this. ”You do know that I'm actually of the Yun Zou Sect, right?”

Shen An De nodded. ”Of course. It's not that hard to figure out.”

Jing Yi nodded. ”Well, originally, we were only trying to find out about what happened to Hong Bao. Later, we came back here because Qiu Ling wanted to ask you for the sword. Now, something has happened in the Yun Zou Sect and they aren't able to handle it. I was wondering if you might be able to help out. And … well, if you would be willing.”

Shen An De gave him a long look. ”The relationship between the demonic sects and the righteous sects aren't necessarily great. I do hope that you understand what you are asking for there.”
