Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 5325 Really Half?

Bing Wuqing has taken the other half. I'm telling the truth." Xue Jianfeng quickly clarified.

"Alright, you can get lost now. It's best if you don't appear in front of us, and don't even think about getting any ideas about any of us. Because no matter when I want your life, it'll be as easy as turning my hand." Lin Yi said coldly.

Xue Jianfeng didn't dare to say anything, nor did he dare to leave any harsh words. He turned around and ran away without saying anything, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

When everyone saw this scene, they looked at each other. Duanmu Yu could not help but say, "We're really going to let him go?"

In their eyes, letting Xue Jianfeng go was an extremely stupid decision. Lin Yi should know the consequences of doing so. He shouldn't be so soft-hearted, right?

Although the spirit sense grass was also important, that was for others. For someone who had a spirit sense grass, what was a mere half a piece of it? It was obvious that this was just an excuse for Lin Yi to let them go.

Lin Yi couldn't help but smile at the weird expressions on everyone's faces. "Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I have my own reasons for sparing his life. "

Letting Xue Jianfeng go was a decision Lin Yi made after careful consideration for two reasons.

Firstly, Xue Jianfeng was one of Central's most valued training Masters, and killing him would alert Central. Lin Yi didn't want to have a direct confrontation with central yet, since he was alone and had no chance of winning.

The second reason was more important and more direct than the first, because he could not kill Xue Jianfeng.

It was true that Lin Yi had mastered the improved version of the soul Catcher hand, and it was enough to deal with any golden core stage soul. However, using the soul Catcher hand once required a huge amount of spiritual energy, and if it wasn't replenished in time, the soul might collapse.

Of course, the Roots of the Spirit sense grass contained a huge amount of spirit sense energy, but it was completely different from the star Black coal. The spirit sense energy of the star Black coal could be replenished at any time, but every bit of spirit sense energy of the spirit sense grass had a tempering effect. This meant that it couldn't be replenished quickly, and could only be absorbed bit by bit in pain.

So, the spirit grass could only be used for normal training, not for recovery. Lin Yi couldn't take the risk, and so he let Xue Jianfeng go after giving him enough mental pressure.

"Thank you ..." Although Ling Tianyou felt that it was a pity to let Xue Jianfeng go, this wasn't something he could decide. The only thing he could do was to remember Lin Yi's favor and Xue Jianfeng's great kindness. He would slowly settle the score when he returned to the small ancient martial world.

"You're welcome. Let's go together. " Lin Yi smiled and activated the teleportation formation with the others. They returned to the islands in a flash.

"Senior granduncle, you're back!" Xin Yijie was on the side, and everyone quickly came up to Lin Yi. Most of the ancient Alliance disciples had returned, and all of them went back to rest after getting nothing.

"I have no choice. I can't not come back." Lin Yi shook his head with a bitter smile. He wouldn't have brought them back so early if it weren't for the fact that the other one-way teleportation formation couldn't be used due to the poison.

"Then ... What are your plans next? You should be going back to the green cloud School on the North Island with me, right?" Xin Yijie asked carefully.

? He'd wanted to ask this question for a long time. To the green cloud sect, Lin Yi was a great uncle-master they could ask for if they could. His strength aside, he had the complete ancient arts in his head. This was an unparalleled fortune for the entire green cloud sect. They couldn't just ignore it.

"Of course." Lin Yi nodded. He didn't have the intention to do that at first, but after knowing that central was preparing to extend their reach into the ancient martial world, he had to go and take a look.

After all, he already knew that his family had a relationship with Central's mortal enemy. It was fine if he didn't know about it back on the Sky Class Island, but now that he had caught up with the small Jianghu of the ancient times, he had to find a way to stop their expansion.

Of course, it would be best to do it in the dark. Lin Yi didn't want to fight central head on yet.

But then again, it wasn't like he couldn't shed all pretenses of cordiality if he really had to. The power of the Sky Class Island was unfathomable, but it was much worse in the secular world. It wasn't like he couldn't fight.

"Good, good, this disciple will send a letter to the higher-ups of the sect and have them prepare to welcome martial granduncle." Xin Yijie said excitedly.

"There's no need to mobilize so many people. By the way, when are we leaving?" Lin Yi asked.

"In a few more days, when the teleportation formation is covered by the sea again, I will arrange for everyone to start the teleportation together." Xin Yijie said.

"Alright," he said. Lin Yi brought everyone back to the Qingyun sect's private island in the North Island. On one hand, it was convenient for everyone to rest and recuperate, and on the other hand, he had to make some arrangements.

This time, the group had an additional member, Duanmu Yu.

Duanmu Yu couldn't be considered as one of Lin Yi's own yet, but her relationship with Lin Yi had gone beyond that of normal partners-they were life-and-death friends. Lin Yi's purpose for calling her over was simple-to split the loot.

The two had agreed from the start that if they found the spirit sense grass, they would split it in half. Now, there was a huge root in Lin Yi's Jade space, as well as the half of the spirit sense grass he just extorted from Xue Jianfeng. Of course, these were nothing compared to the root.

Lin Yi took out the entire root in front of everyone, and it looked like a small mountain. Even Leng Leng and the others, who had heard about it on the way, couldn't help but swallow when they saw it.

"Which half do you want?" Lin Yi said as he looked at Duanmu Yu.

"You're really giving me half?" Duanmu Yu found it hard to believe. From the beginning to the end, her only role was to provide clues about the spiritual awareness grass.

Lin Yi did everything for her, and not only was she unable to help, she was saved by Lin Yi twice as well. There was no reason for her to insist on splitting it in half, and she could even accept it if Lin Yi took it all for himself, but she didn't think that Lin Yi would really want to split it equally with her.

"Didn't we agree on this?" Lin Yi shrugged. If Duanmu Yu wasn't a good person, he wouldn't feel any pressure taking everything for himself. However, from what he'd seen before, he was a very reliable friend. Lin Yi could cheat anyone, but not his friends and his own people.

Duanmu Yu choked for a moment. He then said with a somewhat moved expression,""Actually, you don't have to give me so much. After all, I didn't help you. Instead, I owe you two lives. If you really give me half, I'll feel bad! Even though I've been dreaming about this, I won't take what doesn't belong to me. "
