Chapter 287 - In A Way, He Was Gambling (1/2)

Yao Ying's hands still moved around, while he was explaining what happened outside. Lin Jian and Xiao Fang were surprised, but they quickly tried to help Yao Ying too.

Xiao Fang looked at Lin Jian and said, ”I will be the one who helps Yao Ying. You should just stand guard there! I don't know any martial arts and can't tell you if anyone is approaching! Only you can do that.”

Lin Jian thought that it made sense, so he obeyed Xiao Fang's words. He started to regret going here just with the three of them. They were lacking people, they should have brought Xiu along! They were in a hurry and forgot about such an important thing!

Yao Ying and Xiao Fang were rummaging for a little while before they finally found the things that Yao Ying needed.

Xiao Fang said, ”Go! I'll clean up here!” She knew that there was no time left, thus, she quickly pushed him away and dealt with the aftermath.

Yao Ying glanced at her and murmured his thank before he went out of sight once again. Lin Jian and Xiao Fang could feel that their heart was beating faster, due to the adrenaline kicking and it was also combined with worry. They just hoped that Yao Ying would be able to handle it.

Yao Ying arrived at the gate in no time. He made a low whistling sound and Xiu appeared in a flash. Even though he didn't bring Xiu, fortunately, he had a good subordinate. Lin Jian might not know it, but Yao Ying understood his subordinate's character best. Xiu had been following around because he felt worried about the young mistress' condition --- of course, it was also influenced by Xiao Yu, the latter kept nagging him to follow their masters, just in case something happened to them.

Yao Ying sighed in relief that he had told Xiu and Xiao Yu beforehand that he would be gone in a while to seek treatment for Yao Ling. Otherwise, Xiu wouldn't be here.

”Xiu, you need to hold onto this robe and try to cover the glow!” Yao Ying quickly ordered Xiu. Xiu looked at the glowing symbols and felt lucky that the symbols were only slightly bigger than his palm, otherwise, there would be no way for them to cover up the whole big gate.

”Yes, Young Master!” Xiu quickly did as what he had told to do.

When he saw what Yao Ying was going to do, he asked hesitantly, ”Are you sure this is going to work, Young Master?” His lips slightly twitched when he saw what the young master was holding. Was his young master being serious?! He didn't think that it would work ah~!

”I hope that it works too!” Yao Ying said while sweating profusely. He could only think of this and in a way, he was gambling too!

”Eh... sure, Young Master!” Xiu felt helpless --- he didn't know whether he should laugh or cry. This idea was quite ridiculous ah~!

Yao Ying brought out a big brush and black ink. While Xiu was covering the symbols with Yao Ying's robe, Yao Ying was busy painting the symbols so it would be covered by the blank ink. Xiu could only gape but didn't dare to say what was on his mind. This glow happened because of a magical thing, could it be easily covered up by black ink?

However, the black ink was actually able to make it dimmer but not entirely stop the glow. Yao Ying looked at his work and became smug because it looked like that this method was working. They could just cover it up with the robe and all would be fine!

Xiu looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief! How could such a stupid method work?! He could only admire his young master's luck ah~! The once majestic and precious looking symbols became... er... how should he explain it? Became as dark as charcoal... Nothing could be seen but still... the glow was leaking here and there, although it wasn't as bright as before.

However, suddenly something changed... the glow was getting brighter --- far brighter than the previous glow which Yao Ying stopped by hitting the back of Yao Ling's head. But now... what should they do?
