Chapter 132 - Hundred And Thirty Two - Just what is Jin Li’s type? (2/2)
But even when he attempted to suppress the sourness that tainted his throat at the thought of other alchemist's, he could not stop the image of a hard working, small alchemist with yin and yang hair concentrating on his cauldron with complete focus from flashing before his mind's eye. He couldn't help but wonder what was that alchemist doing now? Was he making pills for others? And why did he hate that idea so much?
So deep into his own thoughts, he almost missed Sun's following words; ”Why do you even like that girl?”
Sun said this as he had taken an instant dislike to here, but Justin did not seem to notice as his whole demeanour seemed to soften and he even slightly blushed. ”Miss Merlin is a white rose in a flower bed of red roses. She is pretty and kind and talented, softly spoken and modest. I admired her very much while we were in the sect together, but now she has blossomed more, using her own strength to rise from the outer sect and into the inner sect of the alchemist school. What is there not to like?”
Although Sun could not deny the fact of Miss Merylin entering the inner sect on her own merit, he still thought Justin was an idiot. He doubted that girl was anything like what he described. ”Each to their own,” Sun murmured aloud.
”What is that supposed to mean?” Sure enough, one of Justin's followers wished to continue to play a tiny antagonist role. To them, Miss Merylin was the ideal woman! How could they stand for others to insult their ideal?!
”Simply me saying that she is not my type,” Sun muttered, ”should this not please you? One less competitor for her attentions! And I don't believe that she is Jin Li's type either!”
”Oh, my young student has a type of girl he likes?!” All turned to see Teacher Corvus leaning against the entrance wall of the training grounds, his arms crossed about his chest. ”Do tell, this Teacher wants to know!”
”Not talking! Training!” Sun declared and withdrew his sword to restart the sequence he was supposed to be practicing diligently. Justin and the others stepped aside, viewing cautiously this Teacher, who was said to be quite eccentric, but also the mighty Teacher Corne's younger brother.
”But Teacher wishes to know!” The man pouted, childishly. ”Also just what is Jin Li's type? There is a whole slew of young ladies who would pay handsomely for the knowledge!”
The thunderous aura about Jin Li darkened and Justin and his followers made quick excuses to leave well enough alone.
