C29 First Come First Serve

Two long figures were reflected in the lake, their reflections crumpled by the wind. The two stood on the shore, and the setting sun created a golden glow around them that made them seem as if they weren't from the mortal world. Qin Yubing picked up a stone and threw it into the lake, causing a splash that disturbed the peace of the lake.

"You didn't call me out here to stand, did you?" Sheng Xueyin waited for a long time for Qin Yubing to say something.

Qin Yubing sighed and sat on the ground, staring at the surface of the lake.

"Martial Uncle, what do you think of Qing?"

Sheng Xueyin picked a clean rock and sat down. "That's right."

"It's rare for you to give a positive evaluation. I thought you couldn't see anyone. Even you think he's not bad, sigh..."

"I agree with you. Why are you still sighing?"

"Martial Uncle, I want to tell you a secret. I'll only tell you. Can you keep it a secret for me?" Qin Yubing felt as if he was going to suffocate to death if he didn't find someone to talk to. Although he knew that someone like Sheng Xueyin wouldn't talk to anyone, he wanted to emphasize the importance of this matter.

"You like him?"

Qin Yubing opened his eyes wide and exclaimed: "How did you know?"

"I don't want to know."

"Is it that obvious?"

"Yes."

Qin Yubing scratched his head in annoyance. "Then do you think he already knows?"

"Then do you want him to know?"

"I... I'm afraid that he'll reject me, so I don't dare to ask. Maybe he won't even want to see me in the future." Biting his lips, Qin Yubing lowered his head and pulled on his sleeves.

"If you don't say it, he might not have a chance when he goes back."

"I'm so conflicted, Martial Uncle. I want to say it, but I'm afraid to say it. I'm also afraid that someone else will beat me to it."

"What? Is there anyone else who likes him?"

"Of course there is. He, he has a protector in the Devil Clan. He's extremely nervous. Last time, I injured him and he almost fought me to the death. And that doctor from the Devil Clan, you have seen him before. You must be interested in him. Just look at his eyes and you will know."

"When did you become so observant?"

"Once you fall in love with someone, you pay special attention to everything about them, even to the people around them. You won't understand this feeling, Martial Uncle."

"How do you know I don't understand?"

"You are the person who has lived the most ethereal life in our Profound Sect. Even if the entire Immortal Sect is trapped in the secular world, you are the only one who can stay away from the secular world."

"You think too highly of me."

Qin Yubing only thought that Sheng Xueyin was being modest, so he didn't really care. He continued to worry about his poor relationship. What kind of experience did it feel like for a young disciple of the Immortal Sect to fall for a Devil Lord from the Devil Clan? Qin Yubing's mood was fluctuating up and down. Thinking about him made Qing so happy that his eyebrows were smiling. Thinking about how he might like his new junior sister, his heart fell into the icehouse. Sometimes he was happy, sometimes he was disappointed. It was really annoying. Even the temperament was sentimental.

"Yubing, if you want to say it, then say it earlier. If you don't, then don't blame others for beating you to it." Qin Yubing looked at him as if he didn't know Sheng Xueyin. "Martial Uncle, I didn't expect you to be so concerned about my feelings. You've never cared about my life before. Do you feel sorry for me now?"

"No, I'm more concerned with my own affairs. First come, first served."

Qin Yubing was confused. Just as he was about to ask for more details, he couldn't find Sheng Xueyin anywhere. Sheng Xueyin returned to the open space in front of Dustwallow Hall and suddenly stopped. He stood still and waved his hand to create a barrier. Only then did he confidently walk back to his room. Qu Lingjing was already gone, leaving behind only the packed food boxes.

Sheng Xueyin quickly turned around and rushed to each of the adjacent rooms to check. Fortunately, he was next door, and the man was sleeping comfortably on the bed. Only then did he relax and slowly walk back to his room.

When Qin Yubing had returned, he stayed in his room with Sheng Xueyin for a while. However, when his Martial Uncle didn't say a word, he was too bored. It wasn't long before he wanted to go back.

"I've set up a barrier outside. Remember to send me a voice transmission when you come back."

"Barrier? You've never set up a barrier. What happened today?"

"Inaction Peak should set up some rules occasionally."

On the Wave Chasing Peak, an old man was standing on the cliff. A young disciple rushed over.

"Master, this disciple has already used all the means at his disposal to inquire about the person on Inaction Peak. From the two junior brothers on Cloud Peak, I heard that this person is called Lin Qing. Their little junior brother, Qin Yubing, was injured by the blood marten at the Gathering of Heroes. I heard that he was cured by this person called Lin Qing. At the same time, Xin Lianyue, who had just arrived at Cloud Peak, was also cured. At that time, Qin Yubing had wanted to bring him to the Cloud Peak, but the people there didn't agree. The person from the Inaction Peak had a good relationship with Qin Yubing, so he brought Lin Qing to the Inaction Peak. Qin Yubing would bring some food to the Inaction Peak to see him these days. Yesterday, Second Junior Brother wanted to go up to Inaction Peak to investigate, and that person seemed to have sensed something. Then, he opened the barrier, and other than the person he signaled for permission to, I'm afraid no one else can even touch the Inaction Peak."

Fann Tinglang, who wore a clear crown on his head and had gray and white hair, stroked his foot-long beard and asked in a low voice, "So Xueyin found out?"

"Second Junior Brother is a cautious person and did not reveal any traces. He might just be a little suspicious and do not know who went up the Inaction Peak."

"The more he hides, the more suspicious he is. How could an ordinary person have the antidote to the blood marten's poison? It must have something to do with the Devil Clan. Continue to investigate. Keep an eye on who went up the Inaction Peak. Report back immediately after you find out. "

" Yes, Master. "

After a few consecutive days of expelling the poison, Qu Lingjing finally saw some results. Ten days after he went up the mountain, he could clearly feel that the demonic Qi in Sheng Xueyin's body had reduced by more than half. The boulder in his heart finally fell to the ground, as if a huge debt had been paid off by more than half. Sheng Xueyin was also more familiar with Qu Lingjing than at the beginning. He spent more time with him and spoke to him more often than before. Sheng Xueyin was never stingy with pills, even the best ones. She fed them to him without even glancing at them, which made Qu Lingjing live in comfort. When she channeled her energy, her physical exhaustion also improved. It was just that he felt a headache every time he saw Qin Yubing's moody face.

"Immortal Sage, what do you think has happened to Qin Bing recently? Her emotions are so unstable. One minute, she was fine, but the next moment, she can suddenly run away. Do you know anything?" Qu Lingjing held the chess piece in his hand and waited for Sheng Xueyin to make his move.

Sheng Xueyin was absorbed in his thoughts as he stared at the chessboard. He replied nonchalantly, "There are some things that he can only tell you himself. I can't tell you." With that, he placed a piece.

"Is there really something wrong?" Qu Lingjing waited for Sheng Xueyin's piece for a long time. When Sheng Xueyin finished, his next piece was already placed.
