C40 (2/2)
When Lu Yi saw who it was, she couldn't help but feel overjoyed. ”Saber Qing?”
Jin Jian's heart skipped a beat. ”He is He Lan Wuque?”
When Dao Qing heard Jin Jian call him Hailan Wuque, her body trembled. She said, ”Call me Hailan Wuque. It seems like you have already heard my story.”
Jin Jian walked over, bowed, and said, ”I, Jin Jian, have written about the favor of senior saving me twice.”
Hailan said, ”Do the two of us need to be courteous?”
Jin Jian's heart skipped a beat.
Lu Yi asked, ”How did you get here?”
”We just happened to meet after a few days of investigation and inquiry regarding the mayfly tribe.”
Lu Yi said, ”It's fortunate that you came. Otherwise, both of our lives would have been ruined by this little sea dog.”
Jin Jian had just tasted the viciousness of the human heart, and his heart was heavy. He was depressed and didn't say much.
”I should not stay for long, and I must not mention my whereabouts to anyone. ”Farewell!” With that, he glanced at Jin Jian before turning around to leave.
Lu Yi pinched the back of He Lan Wuque. Jin Jian, who was lost in thought, said, ”Let's hurry and see how Uncle Ying and the rest are doing.”
Jin Jian suddenly remembered that the battle between the Cherry Blossom Young Master and the masked man was still going on. He quickly followed Lu Yi and headed back the way they came.
Jin Jian and Lu Yi felt safe in their hearts as they quickly swam back. Seeing that the battle had subsided and with Young Master Ying Kong standing alone at the front, the two of them calmed down. Jin Jian called out, ”Senior!”
In the vast wilderness, other than the echo, not a single sound could be heard. Jin Jian suddenly had a bad feeling and hastened the pace of his march with Lu Yi. They arrived beside Young Master Yinkong.
The jellyfish clan leader, Ying Kongshao, had his eyes closed and his arms hanging down powerlessly, as if he was a carefree old man that had passed away.
Jin Jian did not believe his judgement. He stretched out his palm and tried to taste the breath of the Cherry Blossom House Master, but it was completely cold. The cold facts told him that his judgement was not wrong.
Jin Jian's body trembled. By his side, Lu Yi had already sensed that something was wrong, but she was unwilling to believe it. She asked Jin Jian, ”What's wrong?”
Jin Jian remained silent as he quietly knelt in front of the Cherry Blossom God Representative's corpse.
Tears were already quietly filling Lu Yi's eyes. Uncle Ying, the one who had comforted her in the past, the one who told her that she had returned to Jin Jian's side, the one who was occasionally strict, the one who was occasionally funny, and the one who made people unable to see through her, was their colleague who had exposed the Mayfly plot.
Lu Yi refused to believe her: ”Little Sea Dog, tell me, is Uncle Ying playing with us?”
Jin Jian closed his eyes, leaving behind a trail of tears.
”He must have had some kind of senseless illness,” said Lu Yi. ”He was going to stay for a while and scare us. You're dreaming. You can't scare us, we already know that you're lying to us! ”Stop pretending, stop pretending …”
The shouts were unable to bring back the life that had long left Young Master Yinkong's body. This wild and unrestrained, at the same time funny and adorable jellyfish clan leader was being called out to him by the voices of the two young people. His eyes were tightly shut and his body was ice-cold like the water of a wild sea.
Lu Yi threw herself into Jin Jian's arms and cried bitterly.
The two of them buried the young master of the Cherry Blossom God Palace.
Lu Yi asked Jin Jian, ”What are your plans?”
Jin Jian sighed, ”Senior Ying's death means that the powerful people of the mayfly tribe have already come into being. There is also the matter of eldest senior brother that needs to be communicated to Master in time. Our mission is already completed, I should rush to the Jellyfish Clan to inform Elder Ying Zhong Xue and the other Jellyfish Clan members about Senior Ying's death, then return to the Plains of Ice and report this situation to Master. ”
Lu Yi muttered, ”Then …” ”You …”
Jin Jian looked at her and asked, ”What's wrong?”
Lu Yi said, ”This, this mission was completed by the two of us together with Uncle Ying, I am also one of them. Shouldn't I also give you this mission to go to the Jellyfish clan …” ”Huh?”
Jin Jian smiled. ”Of course, what do you think?”
Lu Yi suddenly smiled as she looked at Jin Jian.
Jin Jian thought for a moment and said, ”Right, previously when I was fighting with my eldest senior brother, how did you see what I was thinking?”
Lu Yi said, ”About that …” I'll tell you when I figure it out! ”
