Chapter 481 - Chapter 481: Chapter 178: Li Qingqings Affections (2/2)

“understood…” several people hurried to open their mouths and said.

“island master, rest assured, we will definitely keep this matter a secret.”

at this moment, li qingqing looked towards lin jing with some concern and said:

“brother lin jing…”

“did you encounter any difficulties outside?”

lin jing then smiled and said:

“not at all…”

“it’s just that if it gets exposed, there might be some unnecessary trouble. qing qing, you don’t need to overthink it.”

“alright, brother lin jing…” li qingqing nodded and said.

after that.

lin jing reassured everyone for a while.

then, he had the other three leave.

not long after the three of them left, lin jing suddenly sensed that someone was racing towards li yan island.

therefore, he directly stimulated his divine sense to probe outward.

when lin jing’s divine sense detected the approaching person, a smile immediately appeared on his lips.

he then spoke to yue qi:

“qi mother, we have a visitor; please go welcome them.”

seeing the smile on lin jing’s lips, yue qi understood that the guest was not an unfriendly one, which was why lin jing was acting like this…

so, yue qi asked:

“zhang jian, zhang dao-friend?”

lin jing smiled and nodded:

“go welcome him first, and see what he’s here for this time. i’ll go out later and give him a surprise…”

yue qi nodded, saying:

“alright, island master…”

having said that, yue qi walked out.

and lin jue, also interested, hurriedly spoke:

“i’ll go too…”

with that, she quickened her pace, catching up to yue qi, and walked out with her.

as for lin jing, after yue qi and lin jue had gone out, he used his spiritual power to shield the entire room.

shielding the room was to hide from zhang jian’s divine sense, while lin jing’s divine sense could probe without any hindrance.

after the room was shielded, only lin jing and li qingqing were left inside.

at this time, li qingqing came to lin jing’s side, looked at him, and asked:

“brother lin jing…”

“where have you been during this time?”

lin jing looked at li qingqing, seeing the full concern in her eyes.

lin jing couldn’t help but feel a warmth in his heart.

“i assume you already know about my participation in the trade fair previously…”

li qingqing nodded and said:

“that’s right…”

“not even half a day after you left, zhang jian came back…”

“he said you went missing, along with everyone who attended the trade fair.”

as she spoke, li qingqing pursed her lips and then continued:

“at first…”

“i didn’t believe it.”

“brother lin jing, you survived from the demon race secret realm.”

“how could you possibly just disappear all of a sudden?”

“not long after that…”

“news came again, everyone was tricked, and over a hundred cultivators went missing from the trade fair.”

li qingqing looked at lin jing, her eyes slightly red and the concern in them even more clearly visible:

“i thought that…”

“i might never see you again.”
