CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR BREAK THE BURNING
After hearing what his mother had said, Ying Ying knew that Jin Jian had fallen in love with that Lu Yi, so she couldn't help but feel angry. Recalling the Dai Lang Map, she was even more annoyed by the relationship between Jin Jian and Lu Yi, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
Jin Jian remembered the green light in his heart, but he could not let out the pain. He could not let it go, and he did not suffer the torment of lovesick all the time.
Suddenly, he remembered that he had always wanted to report the matter of his master's betrayal to his eldest senior brother. He did not tell his master about it, so his heart was moved. He hurriedly shouted towards the outside, ”Senior sister, are you there?”
Ji Ying was outside drinking tea and eating the Soup Dumplings, when he heard Jin Jian calling for him, he said, ”What's wrong, Little Scissor? Are you hungry? ”
Jin Jian said, ”No, can you help me get Master to come in? I still have an important report.”
Ji Yin asked: ”Important situation?” His heart stirred as he asked happily, ”Is it about eldest senior brother?”
When Jin Jian heard her asking that, his heart felt heavier and heavier. ”We do have some connections now …”
Ju Dao Ying said, ”Then tell me quickly.”
Jin Jian said, ”But, this is a very serious matter. I must first tell my master, and then I will leave it to my master to decide whether to tell you or not.”
Ju Dao Ying frowned and said, ”What is so important that even I cannot tell you?”
Jin Jian said, ”It's more important than the heavens themselves. Please help me find my master first.”
Ji Dao Ying unhappily said, ”Wait.”
Lu Yi woke up and knocked on Jin Jian's door. No one answered and they carefully observed that the door was locked on the outside.
Lu Yi thought that he must have gone out to buy breakfast, so she returned to her room to wait.
By late morning, Lu Yi had already started to cackle. She thought to herself, ”Where did this Jin Jian go? Why isn't he back yet?” After waiting for a while longer, he couldn't bear the hunger and went out to eat breakfast.
He entered a tea shop and ordered a basket of steamed buns. While he was thinking about what he should bring back to Jin Jian, he suddenly heard two people in a seat beside him talking:
”Why is Junior Jin Jian being so secretive when he returns this time?”
”Yeah, he won't say anything no matter what, and has to report to Master on something alone.”
”Junior Brother Jin Jian may be young, but he's still safe. I believe that this time he'll report it alone, so he'll naturally have a reason to do so.”
The few people on the other side were casually chatting. On the other side, when Lu Yi heard this, she was as shocked as if she had heard lightning. Unconsciously, she thought to herself, 'Could it be that Jin Jian secretly went to find the Zenith Sect's Duke after failing to come to a conclusion from his discussion with me last night?'
When she thought of this, Lu Yi was no longer in the mood to eat. She quickly slammed a few copper coins on the table and rushed back to the inn in worry.
He waited for an entire night and hoped that Jin Wu would suddenly return. Who knew that after not seeing anyone for the entire night, on the second day, he would still disappear without a trace, filled with resentment and grief. He wanted to leave this place to find his father, but he said that he was not willing to leave, as he always believed that Jin Jian would return sooner or later. He stayed in the small dark room for another two days. He never saw Jin Jian come back.
She didn't know that at this moment, although Jin Jian was in a spacious and bright room, he was suffering from lovesick feelings.
Extreme Dao Ying found Extreme Dao Gen for Jin Jian.
Dai Shi and Ying Yang's locking up Jin Jian had caused King Dogong to complain. When he saw Jin Jian, he asked if there was any shortage of items and if Ying was not in charge of external care.
At this moment, Ying Ying had already sat back down at the table, and was eating her own bun and drinking her own tea. Hearing her father keep asking such questions, she couldn't help but say, ”Dad, you're asking as if I'm abusing him. Isn't it for his own good?”
Jin Jian said, ”Master, you don't have to worry about that. Although we can't move freely, we are not short on food and drinks. This time, I've come to find you because I've thought of an extremely important matter that I have yet to report to you. ”
King Jidao frowned: ”Oh? ”What is it?”
Jin Jian looked at the opened door and said, then got up and closed it, before whispering, ”This is no small matter, it's best to not let senior apprentice sister Ying Yang hear about it.”
Prince Jidao's heart sank. He lowered his voice and said, ”Is it related to your eldest senior brother?”
Jin Yu nodded and said, ”Master, I said, don't be sad …” Eldest senior brother had already … ”Already …” At this point, Jin Jian's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He wondered if he should first talk about his eldest senior brother's betrayal, or talk about his eldest senior brother's involvement with the mayfly tribe. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind. If his eldest senior brother was controlled by the mayfly tribe, then there was no need to betray him. His master might hurt less, so he said, ”His eldest senior brother is already controlled by the mayfly clan.”
Shocked, Zenith Zong Wang said: ”What? You saw it with your own eyes? ”
Jin Yu nodded his head, and said: ”Yes, on the day that Young Senior Ying Kong was killed, me and Lu Yi were chased by Eldest Brother. At that time, Eldest Brother no longer knew who his disciple was, and had tried to kill him repeatedly.”
After pondering for a while, he said, ”Hmm, don't tell this to Ying Ying. After I return to discuss this with your wife, I will consider when I should inform her.”
Jin Jian nodded and said, ”Disciple understands.”
King Jidoun pondered for a moment.
Jin Jian asked again, ”Oh right, Master, on which day will Young Master Ying Kong's funeral be held?”
”Cherry Blossom Snow wants to use the death of Little Cherry Blossom to arouse the fighting spirit of the other races in Zhong Hai, so she used the thousand-year-old crystal coral as a coffin to keep her corpse from rotting. When all the races arrive, the funeral will be held the day after tomorrow.”
Jin Jian said, ”At the beginning, I was puzzled as to why the funeral would take place only now after Young Master Ying Kong had sacrificed so much. So that's the reason.”
Prince Jidao said, ”Are you planning to ask this? Are you planning to go with me when the time comes?”
Jin Jian said, ”I would like to go with you. After all, I have benefited greatly from traveling with Senior Ying.”
”Are you prepared to expose at the funeral that the Cherry Blossom Young Master was not killed by Hillman?”
Jin Jian said, ”I am indeed prepared to do that.”
”In my opinion, it would be best not to do this first.”
Jin Jian asked curiously, ”Why?”
This means that the other party knew of your existence, but did not hunt you down. Even when you spread the word that you had captured He Lan, you did not kill the two of you. This means that the other party had already set up a plan against you. If you take the initiative, you might not fall into their trap! ”
Jin Jian nodded. ”Master is right, but I can't just wantonly slander He Lan Wuque.”
”Do as you wish. After you've found out the other party's intentions, then make your plans.”
Jin Jian remained silent.
Besides, on Lu Yi's side, since Jin Jian wasn't coming back, she decided to wait in that inn until the day of Shaikong's funeral. Although Jin Jian might not return, he would definitely go to her funeral.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the funeral. Jin Jian followed his master and the jellyfish clan's juniors, heading over to the Jellyfish clan to take part in the memory of the Cherry Blossom House.
