Chapter 1045 - An Old Friend (1/2)

Wu Ya quietly stared at the two of them for a while, trying to wrap his head around all of this new information. In the end, he cleared his throat and continued to ask. ”Well, if your father is dead, then what about Jinde? Is he …”

Qiu Ling stared at him in silence for a moment, his expression strange. What was he supposed to say to that? Obviously, the old geezer was standing only five steps away but if he wanted this person to know that he was alive, then he already would've said something. Anyway, it would be best if nobody else found out that he was still alive so it was obvious what he was supposed to say, right? ”He's dead as well.”

Wu Ya sighed when he heard that. ”Well, that was to be expected. The two of them probably perished together.”

Qiu Ling raised his brows at that. ”What are you talking about? The two of them didn't even talk in the last few years of their lives.”

This time, Wu Ya was completely dumbfounded. Originally, he had thought that the two of them were a couple. Now, then it had turned out that they weren't and could at most be considered friends, and now it looked like they were even less than that. The dragons really were strange. ”But … They seemed so close when I met them.”

Next to them, Jinde finally turned away, unable to listen to this any further. When they had met Wu Ya, they hadn't even come of age yet. They had still been traveling the realms, amusing themselves wherever they went. It had been a good time. Unfortunately, it was long past.

He walked over to Zheng Yin's side and then motioned at Ma Zhi Wu and the small box standing next to him. ”We already have the heaven peak cloud. I guess it will take quite a bit of time until the other herbs will be delivered. Would it be possible to already heal his core before we take care of the rest? I'm not quite sure if everybody else will make it in time.”

Zheng Yin nodded. ”Do you want me to do so?”

Jinde nodded. ”If you wouldn't mind that would be very much appreciated. Anyway, I think that Wu Ya will still take some time until he's willing to leave.”

Zheng Yin glanced over, his expression complicated. He hadn't known that Wu Ya had a close relationship with anybody in the dragon race. It made him feel … unaccustomed. He would've thought that he would think just like him.

Jinde sighed and patted his shoulder. ”If there are questions that you have, you can still ask him later on. The two of you seem to have a good relationship. I'm sure he will answer.”

Zheng Yin nodded and gave a small smile before he turned around to pick up the box and opened the lid to take out the herb. Carrying it over to one of the tables, he took out a knife and started to process it. The smell of the herb lingered in the whole room, making the others look over.

Jinde used the opportunity to walk back to Leng Jin Yu's side and gently took his hand. ”I'll go back to the dimension first. When the other herbs have arrived, can you come and tell me?”

Leng Jin Yu nodded but didn't let go of his hand. ”Let me walk you over then.”

Jinde nodded and the two of them quietly left the room, not bothering about the others anymore.
