Chapter 281: Chapter 263 Tavern Chitchat
Early the next morning, just as daylight broke,
Lin Jing stood up, ending his meditation.
After a day’s rest, Lin Jing had finally recovered.
The day before,
the two had agreed to meet Elder Bai at Yuebaolou today.
So, early this morning, Lin Jing woke up.
He quickly got ready and then headed out.
Before long, Lin Jing arrived at Huang Qingling’s courtyard.
Just as he was about to knock, Huang Qingling opened the door and came out.
Seeing Lin Jing, Huang Qingling smiled and teasingly said,
“You’re quite early…”
“You seemed so reluctant yesterday; I was afraid you’d run off by yourself. I was thinking of coming to get you early.”
“I didn’t expect you to be so proactive. Now it’s perfect; I don’t have to go looking for you.”
Huang Qingling’s words left Lin Jing with a wry smile, and he replied,
“You worry too much, daoist Qing Ling. Even if I didn’t want to go, I would have explained it to Elder Yu.”
After hearing this, Huang Qingling seemed quite displeased, pouting as she said,
“Lin Jing, how about we change how you address me?”
“‘Daoist Qing Ling, daoist Qing Ling’—I hear it so often, it’s giving me a headache…”
Lin Jing looked at Huang Qingling and asked,
“Then what should I call you?”
“Qing Ling!”
“Just drop the ‘daoist’ part…”
Huang Qingling decided without hesitation.
Lin Jing’s mouth curved into a smile as he said,
“Alright, daoist Qing Ling.”
“I got it, daoist Qing Ling…”
Having said that, Lin Jing ran off first.
“Ahhhh…”
“You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you, Lin Jing? Stop right there!!!”
Soon after, Huang Qingling realized what was happening, shouted in anger, and chased after him.
……
Arriving at Yuebaolou, Lin Jing and Huang Qingling went all the way to the top floor, where Elder Bai was.
There, besides Elder Bai,
were two others already present.
These two were none other than Zhang Yuan and the Zhang Family’s Golden Core Immortal, Zhang Wu.
It was unclear why they were here.
Upon arriving, Lin Jing first greeted Elder Bai and Elder Yu, and then clasped his hands towards Zhang Wu,
“Senior…”
Zhang Wu had protected him in front of the Wu Cai Immortal before, and hence, Lin Jing was very grateful to this elder of the Zhang Family.
Zhang Wu, with a smile, nodded at Lin Jing.
Then, Lin Jing turned to Zhang Yuan, who was standing on the side, and greeted with a fist and palm salute:
“Brother Zhang.”
Zhang Yuan, smiling, responded with the same gesture,
“Brother Lin, let’s not be so formal with each other.”
Lin Jing smiled and nodded in agreement.
Following that,
Elder Bai started speaking to both Lin Jing and Huang Qingling:
“I will be leaving today to head to the Demon Race Secret Realm. We have already arranged that in two days, Qing Ling and you, Lin Jing, will follow Zhang Wu Immortal to the Secret Realm…”
“Yes, Elder Bai.”
“Understood…”
The two of them responded simultaneously.
Elder Bai nodded then said to Lin Jing and the others:
“That’s all…”
“There’s nothing else to explain.”
“We still have some things to discuss between us; you three can leave now.”
“Yes, Elder Bai…”
