Chapter 39: Leaving the Secret Herb Garden (1) (1/2)
”Congratulations to Elder Jing for recovering from the poison that haunted your body.” Yang Wei smiled brightly as he saw the joy in Elder Jing's face.
Elder Jing returned the compliment with a blissful smile as she started flying into the air.
Enjoying the breeze from the wind and freedom to soar the sky without any more restrictions.
”I can finally feel my body being a part of me again.” Elder Jing exclaimed as she continued hovering the sky.
Yang Wei simply admires this beautiful scene with Elder Jing in a cheerful mood when compared to her serious and sullen mood.
Although Elder Jing has hidden her emotion well by engrossing herself in alchemy, there was still a tiny bit of bitterness inside her.
Yang Wei never exposed her and kept it to himself. After all, they weren't really close when he first met her in the courtyard.
He was simply there for a mission to earn some contribution point and he had no right to pry into her secrets.
However, things changed when they arrived in this mysterious realm where they had to rely on each other for survival.
'This kind of atmosphere is not bad at all. If only things can stay like this forever.' Yang Wei sigh inwardly and sat down to let Elder Jing enjoy her time flying around until she had enough.
Shortly after, Elder Jing finally had her filled before landing back to the ground.
Looking around for a while, Elder Jing asked, ”By the way, where is Senior Ling? I want to thank him for curing my poison.”
Yang Wei became a bit frazzled when Elder Jing mentioned Old Ling whereabout.
'I don't think I should inform Elder Jing about the pill that Senior Ling concocted that made her lustful. Also, Senior Ling has not shown himself in a long time even though I destroyed his precious herb.'
Yang Wei ponders inwardly as he does not know how to answer Elder Jing's question.
Meanwhile, Elder Jing held a perplexed expression on her face when Yang Wei couldn't answer such a simple question.
”Yang Wei, where is Senior Ling?” Elder Jing asked again. This time, she was glaring at Yang Wei for an answer.
Unable to handle the fierce glare anymore, Yang Wei decided to answer honestly without exposing the pill being tampered with.
Yang Wei continued the story from start to finish and how Old Ling never showed up again after he explained his master Nie Jin with the pagoda appearing soon.
Elder Jing became baffled when she realized how many things she missed during the time she was bedridden from the side-effect.
Since Yang Wei did not tell Elder Jing of the tampered pill, she believed that she became lustful and forcefully kissing Yang Wei is due to the side-effect.
”If Senior Ling disappears then how do we leave this secret herb garden. Senior Ling was the one who brought us here and we don't know the way out.” Elder Jing questioned since they will be stuck here forever.
