Chapter 2693: Tit For Tat
Meanwhile, Yun Jianyue entered Qiu Honglei’s room. The latter woke up from her meditation and welcomed her with a smile. “Master, were there any gains from your trip?”
Yun Jianyue shook her head. “I could hardly calm down thinking about the ice sculpture. I felt some inspiration from observing the Blood Sea Hell, but I couldn’t make a breakthrough.”
“Master, don’t push yourself too hard,” Qiu Honglei consoled with a smile. “Such spurs of inspiration happen by chance. There’s no way to force it.”
Yun Jianyue’s heart warmed up. She hugged Qiu Honglei. “My dear disciple is the best. You know how to console me.”
The two of them had previously hugged often. The master doted on the disciple, and the disciple relished in the master’s care and concern. But now that they'd become sisters, it felt weird for them to continue hugging like this. Thus, they quietly parted from each other with unnatural looks.
Qiu Honglei broke the awkward silence and asked, “Master, did you meet Chuyan?”
“I did...” Yun Jianyue told Qiu Honglei what she'd seen underneath the Oblivion Bridge.
Qiu Honglei felt wistful. After learning about the latter's plight, she couldn’t bring herself to continue competing with Chu Chuyan anymore. All she felt was sympathy. The thought of spending a thousand years alone under the Netherworld Bridge could send shivers down anyone’s spine.
After learning about what she had to go through, anyone with the slightest kindness in them wouldn’t harbor enmity toward Chu Chuyan.
“Yan Xuehen is too much, capitalizing on this opportunity to steal her man! How despicable!” Yun Jianyue scoffed.
