Chapter 1051 - A Little Too Worried (1/2)

Qiu Ling looked at him and then slowly blinked his eyes. ”Grandelder, this isn't right. The person we're trying to save is your disciple's lover. Do you really need to be so hung up over the fact that this is your cauldron? It couldn't be that you actually don't want to save him, could it?”

On the other side of the room, Nian Hong Fang raised his head, looking at his Master in a panic. As an alchemist himself, he did somewhat understand that equipment could be something very personal and that maybe he wouldn't want to lend it to somebody else. But on the other hand, he was his Master's head disciple and Ma Zhi Wu had been his lover for many years already. After finally getting him back after a decade, his Master wouldn't want to let him die just because of this, would he?!

The Grandelder was startled when he was suddenly faced with such a question. He looked from Qiu Ling to Nian Hong Fang and shook his head in a daze. ”Of course not!” He didn't know how else to react to that. Anyway, he did not mind lending somebody his cauldron but he couldn't help but remember how that other person had said that he had already used this cauldron once. Unfortunately, he couldn't remember at all when that was supposed to have been. Wasn't he allowed to worry about that a bit?

Before he could say anything else, Qiu Ling had already turned away. Seeing Xiang Yong in the door, he raised his brows at him. ”So, have you found some equipment for … him?”

”I contacted An Bai. He will be here soon.”

Qiu Ling nodded and then sat down at the table, reaching out to signal Jing Yi to come over.

Jing Yi's lips twitched but he still did Qiu Ling the favor and walked over, hugging his shoulders. Anyway, he was happy that Qiu Ling had helped out so much to make sure that Nian Hong Fang's lover wouldn't have to die.

Thinking of that, he leaned down and kissed his temple, making Qiu Ling give a happy hum before pulling him closer.

”My love, you should do this a few more times. How about on the lips?”

Jing Yi laughed and then cupped his cheeks, indeed giving him a peck. ”Thank you for helping.”

Qiu Ling gave another hum, his gaze not moving from Jing Yi's face for a single moment. ”Of course, I'd always help your friends.”

Jing Yi smiled and just continued to hug him, not saying anything more.

The room fell quiet, only the sounds of the disciples working on the simple healing potions being able to be heard.
