Chapter 1445: Chapter 378: Lin Qing, the Woman (7)

So in Lin Qing’s eyes, this Zhao Feiyun is an extremely kind person. The way he talks is perfectly fine, and he’s willing to help Yuchi go a step further in his cultivation.

But in Yuchi’s eyes, what Zhao Feiyun just said can be condensed into one sentence.

"You little punk, I’m at Foundation Establishment. Stay away from Lin Qing, or I’ll come for you myself, you Qi Refining Stage noob..."

Lin Qing smiles sweetly and cheerfully. "Brother Zhao, we’ll head out first then, you go on with your work."

Zhao Feiyun thinks for a moment, then smiles and shakes his head. "It’s fine, the stuff on my end is basically taken care of. And this time Brother Yuchi just arrived at our camp, he’s definitely unfamiliar with the surroundings."

"So if it’s just you alone, Miss Lin Qing, taking him out, I definitely won’t feel at ease about the two of you. So I’ll go out with you."

"Even though I won’t really help Brother Yuchi get all his prey prepared, I can at least keep Brother Yuchi safe in the area."

After he finishes, Zhao Feiyun lets out a simple, honest laugh and pats Yuchi on the shoulder.

"You damn... pat my shoulder huh... lining me up for a headshot huh."

Yuchi is speechless.

Seeing that he really has no way to refuse, he can only smile and say:

"In that case, I’m really troubling you, Brother Zhao. Brother Zhao truly has a warm heart. This is my first time meeting Brother Zhao, but I can already feel the blood of ’helping others’ flowing in Brother Zhao’s veins."

Zhao Feiyun is quite satisfied with Yuchi now. It should’ve been like this from the start. You’re just some green rookie who just arrived at our camp, what exactly are you trying to do, huh?

Kid, if you don’t listen to me, don’t blame me for turning my face and not recognizing you, then beating you up!

I’m a fierce cultivator at the first level of Foundation Establishment. You’ve probably never even seen a first-level Foundation Establishment existence before.

Hahaha.

Lin Qing gives Yuchi a smile and a glance, signaling that it’s fine. When Yuchi nods back, she says, "It’s getting late, let’s go and come back quickly! Let’s move!"

...

About more than twenty li away from the camp, there’s a mountain forest. The forest is very ancient, and you can see plenty of traces of wild beasts living in it.

And this place is basically just some wild animals: little Bambi deer, wild boar Pei Qi, and little lion Ryan and the like.

Right now Yuchi is quite helpless.

Lin Qing has a warm heart, so he can’t just show up at camp and immediately start acting all aloof. Since she’s willing to accompany him out here, he’s definitely grateful.

But now that there are people around, he can’t display any kind of powerful strength. He’s forced to conceal his cultivation, forced to lie low for the moment.

"One look and you can tell he’s a frail scholar who’s never been in this kind of deep forest. He probably doesn’t even know where the beasts are. So in the end this guy likely won’t be able to join our camp, which honestly is a good thing for me." Zhao Feiyun folds his arms, standing not far away, watching Yuchi in front of him.

Lin Qing definitely wants to go up and help, to point out where the beasts are for Yuchi.

But just as she’s about to go help, Zhao Feiyun beside her directly stops her.

Zhao Feiyun says:

"Miss Lin Qing, our camp’s Guard Captain definitely wants to test Brother Yuchi’s strength."

"So right now all we need to do is keep Brother Yuchi’s life safe. There’s no need to help him, or that would be violating our camp’s rules, right? After all, Brother Yuchi is a cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining Stage, so facing these wild boars and wild dogs, there’s really nothing to worry about."

When he gets to this point, he also shouts from afar toward Yuchi: "Isn’t that right, Brother Yuchi?"

Yuchi: "..."

Can you damn please make your voice even louder, just a bit louder so all the wild boars, wild dogs, and wild rabbits can run straight away.

And how can you be this annoying? I’m too lazy to bother arguing with you. If you keep it up like this, you’d better be careful walking at night, yeah.

He waves his hand without even turning his head, and walks alone into the forest.

Seeing Yuchi enter the forest, Zhao Feiyun seizes the chance and immediately starts fawning over Lin Qing. "Miss Lin Qing, when do you think Brother Yuchi will be able to come back? His cultivation might be at the third level of Qi Refining Stage, but judging from the way he looks, he’s not the fighting type. He might not have even seen blood before."

Lin Qing’s attention is completely not on Zhao Feiyun. She’s doing her best to peer past the cover of the trees, trying to keep her eyes on Yuchi. She answers casually, "Conservatively speaking, it might take about an hour."

"Because the beasts here are very smart. When they encounter people, the first thing they do is run. They don’t have any intention of directly confronting us."

"But let’s just wait here for now. If we feel something’s wrong, or hear him calling for help, we can go over right away."

Zhao Feiyun is very unhappy with how Lin Qing is treating him.

He and Lin Qing have known each other in this camp for a while already, yet this guy named Yuchi just arrives and already he’s got this kind of rapport with Lin Qing?

Please, could you be any more fake.

"I’m just the father of three children. What’s wrong with me pursuing Miss Lin Qing?"

"Yuchi, oh Yuchi!"

"Don’t you dare let my three kids down. Their future stepmom is all riding on Lin Qing!"

Thinking this, Zhao Feiyun smiles and says:

"I think he might not even be able to come back tonight. Mainly he’s just too frail, not suited for this kind of high-intensity physical labor, so this time he might not be able to join our camp. That would really be disappointing, sigh."

Lin Qing doesn’t realize what’s going on. "No way, right? I think it should be fine. At most in an hour he should be able to come back."

"Wow, you’re actually speaking up for him!"

Zhao Feiyun is displeased. "We’re just going to be waiting anyway, so why don’t we make a bet? If Brother Yuchi comes back within an hour, then Miss Lin Qing, you win, and I’ll give you one elixir. But if he doesn’t come back, then I lose, and I’d like Miss Lin Qing to agree to one little request of mine."

Lin Qing is still looking toward the distant trees, but her attention is drawn. "What request?"

Zhao Feiyun: "It’s nothing big or impressive. You definitely won’t lose by agreeing. After all, elixirs are extremely, extremely precious right now."

Lin Qing frowns slightly and thinks for a while, then nods in agreement.

"Alright, it’s a deal!"

"It’s a deal!" Zhao Feiyun says firmly.

What request could he possibly have? Just that Lin Qing pay a little more attention to him, right?

Hahaha, so Yuchi, this time I really need to thank you properly. Even a frail scholar like you can sometimes be useful—as cannon fodder on my road to love!

Hahahahaha!
