YM778.TV Chapter 168 - 168 Little Sparrow Is Very Busy
Lin Jing did just that, in Observation Mode, watching Little Sparrow follow the Wang-surnamed Pill Master as they left.
It wasn’t until the Wang-surnamed Pill Master had gone far away that Lin Jing left the System Space and returned to his own small courtyard.
Next, it was just a matter of waiting for Little Sparrow to come back.
Little Sparrow returned just as the sky had begun to darken.
As soon as it came back, Little Sparrow set its sights on Lin Jing’s Storage Bag, seeming to ask Lin Jing for its reward.
Lin Jing didn’t waste words; he directly took out a Medium Grade Gathering Yuan Pill and tossed it to Little Sparrow.
Little Sparrow caught it with a flying leap, then landed on one side and immediately opened its beak wide to swallow it in one gulp.
After swallowing the Elixir Medicine, Little Sparrow once again looked toward Lin Jing’s Storage Bag but was stopped by Lin Jing.
“Alright, Little Sparrow…”
“You can’t be greedy; you get one a day. Tomorrow if you help me track again,
I’ll give you another one.”
“Chirp…”
Little Sparrow responded with a cry, then reluctantly withdrew its gaze.
“You weren’t noticed while tracking today, were you?” Lin Jing asked Little Sparrow once more.
“Chirp…”
Little Sparrow lifted its neck, a hint of pride in its eyes, and chirped a sound.
It was as if to say, “Piece of cake.”
Lin Jing extended his hand and stroked Little Sparrow; perhaps because it had just eaten Lin Jing’s Elixir Medicine, this time Little Sparrow did not dodge.
Then Lin Jing said,
“The person you were tracking for me today, where did they go? Lead me there…”
Because Little Sparrow couldn’t actually speak, Lin Jing could only communicate in this way to get the tracking results from it.
Following that, Lin Jing left the house with Little Sparrow.
Leaving the courtyard, Lin Jing let Little Sparrow lead the way, while he followed behind.
In this manner, Lin Jing was led by Little Sparrow as they wandered through the Fang Market…
From the courtyard where the Wang-surnamed Pill Master stayed, then to Yuebaolou, and even to several other shops in between, until at last, they arrived at a brothel…
The trip had taken more than half an hour to complete, but all of this was normal, and Lin Jing hadn’t found anything unusual.
When Lin Jing returned to the small courtyard, he spoke to Little Sparrow again,
“Little Sparrow, you’ll go track him again tomorrow…”
“Don’t count the places he went today—we’re only interested in new locations.
If he goes somewhere else, come back and let me know right away.”
“Do you understand?”
Little Sparrow bobbed its head up and down in agreement.
Just when Lin Jing was about to let Little Sparrow go back, a crisp voice came from outside the door:
“Little Sparrow, you’ve been mischievous again, haven’t you…”
At the sound of this voice, Little Sparrow was scared into a shiver.
Lin Jing was also startled, not knowing why Huang Qingling would come at this time.
Lin Jing hurriedly comforted Little Sparrow,
“Little Sparrow, don’t be afraid, I’ll explain for you…”
The initially somewhat anxious Little Sparrow instantly became less so.
Then it called out to Lin Jing again.
But in that call, one could clearly hear a mood of relaxation.
“Lin Jing, open the door…” Huang Qingling called from outside at this moment.
“Coming, Qingling Daoyou, please wait a moment.”
Following that, Lin Jing walked toward the door.
Upon opening the courtyard door, Lin Jing’s first sight was Huang Qingling, and trailing behind him was Li Tangyu.
“Qingling Daoyou… ”
“Brother Li…”
Lin Jing spoke up, greeting both men.
“Brother Lin…” Li Tangyu replied with a salute.
Then, Huang Qingling spoke,
“Lin Jing, has Little Sparrow come to find you again? I knew that greedy bird would come looking for Elixir Medicine from you…”
“It was one thing for you to indulge its cravings for fine food before, but now it’s even clinging to you for Elixir Medicine…”
“Little Sparrow is really getting out of hand. I must discipline it today…”
As she spoke, Huang Qingling was about to walk inside.
Lin Jing quickly spoke up:
“Daoyou Qingling is mistaken, it wasn’t Little Sparrow who came to ask me for
Elixir Medicine, it was I who sent for Little Sparrow…”
“You sent for Little Sparrow?”
After hearing Lin Jing’s words, Huang Qingling suddenly turned her head and looked at him with confusion.
“What could you possibly need Little Sparrow for? You’re not trying to excuse it, are you?” Huang Qingling scrutinized Lin Jing, her eyes filled with suspicion.
Lin Jing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: “Daoyou Qingling is thinking too much…”
“Come, let’s talk inside!”
Saying this, Lin Jing gestured for the two of them to come in.
After the two entered, Lin Jing closed the courtyard door behind them and followed them inside.
While walking, Lin Jing explained:
“Didn’t I notice yesterday that Little Sparrow was so intelligent? I just tested it a bit by having it scare Daoyou Qing Qing and Brother Li, right?” “Mm.” Huang Qingling nodded and then continued to ask:
“Wasn’t the test completed yesterday?”
“That was only half of it; what’s happening now is a follow-up to yesterday…” Hearing this, Huang Qingling was quite speechless and she couldn’t help but say:
“You really do have too much time…”
Even Li Tangyu, who was following behind, looked at Lin Jing with a similarly odd gaze.
They probably both thought that Lin Jing was having Little Sparrow go scare people again.
Lin Jing didn’t bother to explain.
Then, Lin Jing asked the two:
“You’ve come so late, was it specifically to find Little Sparrow?”
“Not to hide anything from Brother Lin, indeed it is…” Li Tangyu said.
At this moment, the three of them had arrived inside the courtyard. As soon as Huang Qingling entered the courtyard, she saw Little Sparrow.
“Little Sparrow, come here…”
Only then did Little Sparrow reluctantly and slowly fly over, fearful of being punished.
“It’s all right, Little Sparrow.”
“I’ve already explained everything to Daoyou Qingling, and she won’t punish you,” Lin Jing said to Little Sparrow at this time.
“Chirp.”
Upon hearing this, Little Sparrow let out a chirp and then sped up a bit, flying in front of Huang Qingling, circling around her twice, and then landing on Huang Qingling’s shoulder.
And true enough, Huang Qingling didn’t go on to lecture it.
“Brother Lin, if you need to test Little Sparrow again, you might have to wait another two days,” Li Tangyu spoke up at this time.
“You’re taking Little Sparrow away?” Lin Jing asked.
Li Tangyu shook his head and then explained:
“Not us, but my grandfather and several other Golden Core Immortals…”
As soon as Li Tangyu said this, Lin Jing immediately understood what was going on.
“It’s about the Demon Race Secret Realm, isn’t it…”
Li Tangyu nodded and said:
“Yes…”
“After we told my grandfather about the incident yesterday, he immediately went to investigate and found cracks above the sealing formation, though no demon qi had leaked out.”
“He also searched the surrounding area but still could not sense any demon qi.
Having no other options, he had to return and notify the other immortals.”
“After discussing with them, my grandfather and the others decided to bring Little Sparrow with them to look for the suspected spot where demon qi might be leaking. After all, the matter of the Demon Race Secret Realm is not to be taken lightly.”
“If by any chance there is some accident, Qingyuan Sword Sect must be informed as soon as possible.”
After saying that, Li Tangyu looked toward Little Sparrow and spoke again:
“Little Sparrow might be busy these next few days…”
“The test you have for Little Sparrow, Daoyou Lin, will have to wait….”
