Chapter 671 He is...
Back at the entrance, Su Jinjing had a slightly sorrowful look on her face as she tightly clenched her spear.
"Jinjing, you know what he is saying is true. Yang Qing may be unreliable in many things but not when it comes to his cases.
You know how selfish he is, there is no way he would do something that would take away his ability to sleep or eat his meals.
It's why he is so terrified of guilt or regret, even more so than Senior Lei Weiyuan.." Luo Meili said with a gentle smile.
"He really is the biggest coward I know.." Su Jinjing added with a chuckle.
"He is.." Luo Meili said in support as both burst into light peals of laughter.
"I know he is right. The only reason I suggested it, is because of him.." Su Jinjing softly said, with her gaze trailing to where Yang Qing had disappeared off to.
"We saw what the last case did to him, and it's not been that long since it happened. What if something happens to those four organizations? I can't help but worry how he would take it if the worst were to happen.." she added with worry rife in her tone.
"Like he said, we are each responsible for our own choices. He must have already prepared himself for that.
It was why he went out of his way to warn them of how dangerous this place is and I am sure he said something else to that elder of the Flowing Fist Sect.
You know how resilient he is, otherwise, he would not continually keep trying to scam the Order, despite the number of failures he has had.." said Luo Meili, her gaze flickering slightly.
Even though she said that some part of her couldn't help but worry for her shameless boss. If it wasn't for Yang Qing she would have opted to go to the beast tamer division. The reason she chose to be on his team, was because for some reason her physique, the Mandala prana green nebulae jellyfish physique seemed to quiet down every time she was around him.
When she graduated, despite the beast hall vying for her because of the latent gifts her physique afforded her, she decided to be an inquisitor and specifically asked to be stationed with Yang Qing.
That sense of ease she felt around him was something she would never trade anything else for.
The other day when she and Su Jinjing went to check on him to see if he was okay after missing breakfast, when Yang Qing opened his eyes, she felt something stir deep within her, a feeling of elation that ended up making her body feel lighter, like some shackle had been removed.
I hope you'll be okay. If I could, I would gladly carry the weight of the things you experienced at the Ice Emerald Sect and now.For what you have given me, I can never repay.."she thought, hiding the worry she heard in the deepest recess of her eyes.
Yang Qing always felt like a sanctuary for her. It wasn't in a romantic sense as she didn't see him in a romantic light and neither did he, but they had an inexplicable bond. Despite being slightly older than him, Luo Meili always felt like Yang Qing was her older brother, sheltering her from that monstrous jellyfish.
She would do anything to reciprocate what Yang Qing gave her, but alas, the things she could offer were limited, other than maybe keeping him company and bringing him rare dishes.
"Jinjing maybe we can have the chef prepare him red braised pork using that radiant star anise we found and the empyrean bee honey we collected is sure to improve the flavors in the hands of a skilled chef.
We can bring it to Yang Qing. Nothing cheers him more than food.."
Luo Meili paused as she held her chin in deep contemplation.
"Which do you think would rank at the top, Jinjing? Pulling one over senior Lei Weiyuan or food? I feel the former has a slight edge over the latter, with how petty he is.."
Su Jinjing mirrored Luo Meili's look as she held her chin, tilting her head slightly.
"This is a tough one... When I met him I would have said food, but over the years, I don't know... One thing I know for sure is he is greedy, he would likely choose both.." she said with a serious look on her face.
She and Luo Meili looked at each other in silence before they burst out laughing as they headed to the kitchen.
"He would.."
