Chapter 1155 - He Is Somebody That keeps His Promises (1/2)

Jinde's golden brows very slowly climbed up higher and he finally turned to his husband to see if he had heard the very same thing he had.

Leng Jin Yu nodded and then turned back to Fei Bai Mu. ”May I ask what this matter is about?” He didn't believe that she would just ask out of the blue. No, there had to be a reason for this.

Anyway, it would probably put Jinde on the spot if he wasn't given a reason for this. After all, he and Xin Lan were very close. He naturally wouldn't just offer information about him if there wasn't a reason to. Everything else would be misusing the trust that Xin Lan put in him. After all, he also wouldn't want him to do the same. Some general information might still be alright but who knew what exactly it was that Fei Bai Mu wanted to know?

Fei Bai Mu sighed and leaned back, rubbing her forehead. ”I really don't know how to put this but … he has proposed to my youngest disciple.”

The eyes of the two people sitting across from her widened and they shared yet another glance, the surprise in their gazes even more pronounced than before.

Jinde turned back to her, the shock still visible on his face. ”Come again? He proposed to …” He hesitated for a moment but finally couldn't help himself. ”To marry him?” This was probably the most unexpected thing he could imagine. ”Are we really talking about marriage here or is it a proposal to … a fight or something?”

Fei Bai Mu smiled wryly. ”It really is a proposal for marriage. In fact, he has mentioned this once when Xiao Yu was still young. I wasn't quite sure if he was being serious but the two of them came back yesterday and made it official.

”This matter seems to be not quite as simple as I thought at first either. He did mention that he made a promise to somebody who my disciple originally was. I'm not quite sure what exactly that means but I guess there has to be some kind of fate between them.”

Jinde slightly narrowed his eyes. ”Somebody he originally was? Someone he promised something to?” Thinking about it, there weren't many options. It could've been somebody who died and was reborn but then, Xin Lan normally wouldn't know who they were now. After all, reincarnation took quite some time and it wasn't like anybody but the supreme ruler actually knew who was reincarnated as who. In other words … ”That person should be a trueborn god then. Somebody currently going through their trial.”

Leng Jin Yu raised his brows at that, feeling that it was quite remarkable. ”That is basically the same situation that Qiu Ling is in right now, isn't it?”

Jinde flicked a glance at him but shook his head. ”Not quite. Qiu Ling and Jing He were already engaged from what I know. And he didn't actually promise him anything in regard to the trial but just followed him on his own accord because he didn't want to leave him alone. It is quite the normal thing to do for a dragon that bound his soul. Xin Lan though …” He shook his head once more. ”Never mind binding his soul, I haven't even known that he had a lover in the Nine Heavens. This is quite strange.”

Fei Bai Mu nodded at that. ”This is what I thought as well. Back then, when we were holding the trial of the demon-hunting sects, he was still going after some person from the spirit beast tribe. I don't believe that he suddenly fell in love with somebody. And if this was a promise he gave to somebody even before that, then Hua Lin Yu was already born at the time. I just can't understand it. Obviously, there are no feelings involved. So why marry? I'm really worried about my disciple.”

Leng Jin Yu slightly furrowed his brows. He could only imagine one reason for this. He turned to Jinde and gave him a long look, making his husband slightly raise his brows.
