Chapter 1182 - She Casually Invited Us (1/2)
While Qiu Ling and Jing Yi only looked outside at the beginning and then didn't care about the dragon that had been circling around the Yun Zou Sect any longer, the same couldn't be said for others.
The first person to appear on the Sect Master's peak was Zhangsun Xun Yi. Seeing both Yuchi Bing Xia, as well as the couple next to him, there was a faint smile on his lips for once, and the perpetual frown that he normally sported actually receded. ”Do I take it that this means that you are healed?”
Jinde continued to hug his husband but still turned to Zhangsun Xun Yi and gave a smile in return. ”You're right. I did indeed succeed in healing my soul after all this time. Now, while I might not be back to my full strength, I'm not as weak anymore. And with a bit more time, it can be said that I will be as good as new.”
Zhangsun Xun Yi heaved a sigh of relief on behalf of Jinde but also couldn't help but be a little worried about what this would mean for the Yun Zou Sect. He turned to look at Yuchi Bing Xia, wondering what he thought about this matter.
Jinde laughed quietly. ”You don't have to worry. Just because I am healed, I won't just up and leave. You have allowed me to stay in the Yun Zou Sect for quite some time, so I will continue to stay for some time longer. Even after this …” He brushed Leng Jin Yu's chest and looked up into his eyes, smiling faintly.
His husband had already indicated that he wanted to go to the Jian Yi Sect. This was something that he was actually in favor of. It would still allow him to help the Yun Zou Sect if needed but at the same time, Leng Jin Yu wouldn't feel as trapped anymore. ”Anyway, even if we leave, we will be reachable for you. So should there be a problem in the future, there's no need to worry. You can just reach out to us and we will come back here.”
Zhangsun Xun Yi nodded. ”Thank you.” He knew that Jinde did not need to do this. Originally, he had given him a place to stay in the hope that his presence would deter others from making trouble for them.
There had always been quite some risk for Jinde in case that the ones noticing his presence would be the ones that were trying to hurt him but at that time, Jinde hadn't really had any other choice. Now that he was healed, he did not need the place at the Yun Zou Sect so it was entirely up to him what he wanted to do.
Zhangsun Xun Yi understood that. He also felt that it would be right for him to leave considering how much time he had spent here. The Yun Zou Sect had really benefited a lot from this. There was nothing left to ask for.
Yuchi Bing Xia looked from one side to the other and then couldn't help but turn to his disciple. ”You … You do intend to stay here, don't you?” Something told him that this actually didn't seem to be the case but he was still holding onto this hope. Even if he felt by now that maybe it would be better to have Wu Min Huan be the next Sect Master, that didn't mean that he didn't cherish Yu Jin. This was the disciple he had taken in after all. Naturally, he cared about him.
Leng Jin Yu looked slightly awkward. In fact, he hadn't necessarily promised Fei Bai Mu that he would return anytime soon. But he had said that they would revisit this issue after Jinde was healed.
