Chapter 175 - Sharing Old Memories (1/2)
Qiu Ling put Jing Yi down regretfully. But his mood lightened considerably when he thought of what would happen next. He gripped Jing Yi's hand and led him forward.
Jing Yi smiled. It seemed like Qiu Ling had already forgiven him. He was back to his old self.
Still, I should find a way to make it up to him. Even if he doesn't mind, all his effort was still wasted because of me. It's only right that I do something for him in return.
He looked up at Qiu Ling's smiling profile. He didn't have to think much to realize what Qiu Ling might appreciate. In his eyes, spending time together would probably be enough of a repayment. Jing Yi still felt like it wasn't enough but for now, he would do just that.
The place Qiu Ling had brought him to was the foot of a mountain. A lush forest grew all around and only a small path was left open.
Qiu Ling looked at Jing Yi expectantly.
”That … looks nice?”
”Mn! Come on!” Qiu Ling pulled him along.
The two of them passed the gate at the beginning of the mountain pass and then started to walk up. Jing Yi looked up at Qiu Ling questioningly. If the place they wanted to reach was on the top of the mountain, wouldn't it have been better to fly there directly? Why had Qiu Ling …
In the end, he smiled. He probably understood already. Qiu Ling wanted to spend time with him. Naturally, he would set him down here and then walk up with him. Wouldn't they take several times longer this way?
Mn, the idea was actually quite good. It wasn't sure yet if he would be able to cultivate at the place where Qiu Ling brought him. If he was still unable to do it, wouldn't this trip have been wasted? Thus, it was definitely better to find something they could do despite this. Like that they could still look back and say that this day had been successful.
”Qiu Ling.”
”Mn? What is it, my love? Do you need something?”
Jing Yi shook his head. ”No, I just thought that we'll probably be on the move for a while.”
”That's right.” Qiu Ling smiled brightly, proving that Jing Yi had guessed right. It really was intentional.
”Then … why don't we use this time to get to know each other a little better? We know next to nothing about each other, after all.”
”Oh. Alright.” Qiu Ling didn't know how to go about that, though. Back then he had sent his men to find out everything about Jing He they could and everything else … Uh, he probably shouldn't admit to it but he himself had done his fair share of spying on … ah, no, of observing his beloved, of course. There hadn't been much that had to be told directly.
”So … You've come to the Yun Zou Sect five years ago. What did you do before that?” Jing Yi didn't pick up on Qiu Ling's problems and just started to ask. He really wanted to know more about him.
”I …” Actually, I followed you around the whole time since your birth. That was the truth but he probably couldn't tell that to Jing Yi? ”Mn, I was outside trying to help the people in need.” It wasn't that far off. Hadn't he always tried to help Jing Yi and his parents?
