Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 5399 Spirit Leaf Sect's Grand Elder

As he spoke, Lin Yi let out ye Qingcheng's soul. The reason why this guy stopped moving was because his soul snatching hand took away his soul. Now that his soul was back in place, ye Qingcheng's face was filled with shock. What he just experienced was too horrifying. He didn't want to experience that feeling of his life and death being in Lin Yi's hands a second time.

"You guys can deal with this traitor by yourselves. I won't interfere." Lin Yi said faintly.

"Well ..." Ye Qingcheng hesitated. Qiu mingchong was his direct disciple, and he wouldn't abandon him unless it was absolutely necessary. But now that Qiu mingchong had publicly admitted his identity as a spy, especially with Lin Yi and Bing Wuqing, these two unfathomable guys, watching him covetously, he didn't dare to play any tricks at this time. He could only brace himself and say,""Men! Take Qiu mingchong, this traitor, into custody, and we'll discuss the specific punishment later!"

Lin Yi didn't have much of an opinion on this. He only brought out Qiu mingchong to help Duanmu Yu out of this situation. He didn't care about Qiu mingchong's life or death.

Moreover, from the perspective of the spirit leaf sect, although it was hateful to discover such a traitor, they couldn't just execute him directly. There were still many things that needed to be clarified. For example, why did Xue Jianfeng want to bribe Qiu mingchong?

Looking at the dejected Qiu mingchong being taken away, Lin Yi glanced at ye Qingcheng and the others,""Does anyone still believe Qiu mingchong's slander of miss Duanmu?"

"No, no, you must be joking. How could we believe the words of a traitor?" Ye Qingcheng quickly smiled apologetically and lowered his posture. The others might be afraid of Bing Wuqing, the nascent soul old monster, but in his eyes, Lin Yi was the scariest existence. This guy was definitely much scarier than ordinary nascent soul old monsters!

"Is that so? What about the spirit sense grass?" Lin Yi raised a brow.

"..." Ye Qingcheng and the others were all sweating. They recalled how they had asked Lin Yi and Bing Wuqing for the spiritual sense grass, and their hearts were filled with curses. Now that they thought about it, they were just courting death!

"A treasure like the consciousness grass naturally belongs to the capable. Only people with strength like yours have the right to have it. We were rude before. On behalf of spirit leaf sect, we sincerely apologize to you!" Ye Qingcheng hurriedly replied with great respect.

Lin Yi glanced at Duanmu Yu. He was here to visit a friend, and it was up to Duanmu Yu to decide if he wanted to use this as an excuse to take revenge. As for himself, he didn't really care. At his level, he wouldn't take such a small thing to heart, and Bing Wuqing didn't care either.

Duanmu Yu replied with a pleading look. She had suffered a lot during this period of time, but she still had deep feelings for leaf spirit sect. Since the main culprit, Qiu mingchong, had already been captured, the matter would end here. Otherwise, the ones who would suffer losses would be leaf spirit sect.

"Alright, for the sake of miss Duanmu, I'll accept your insincere apology for the time being. However, I'll be blunt first. I don't have a good temper. If there's a next time, I won't be so easy to talk to." Lin Yi took the opportunity to give everyone a heads up. This way, ye Qingcheng and the others would have to think twice if they wanted to get even with Duanmu yuqiu after this.

"Yes, yes, yes. Thank you for your magnanimity, senior. We are extremely grateful." Ye Qingcheng didn't dare to argue. Although he was a sect leader, and there was only a thin line between a peak-stage golden core and a nascent soul old monster, this thin line meant that he had no right to speak in front of Lin Yi and Bing Wuqing. They could kill him with a single thought, so what could he do?

The only thought in ye Qingcheng's mind right now was to get Lin Yi and Bing Wuqing out of here as soon as possible. This time, she had set her eyes on the two of them for the spiritual grass under Qiu mingchong's instigation. Now, it was easy to invite a God, but hard to send him away. It was a classic case of riding on a Tiger and not getting off.

The key point was that he couldn't directly say goodbye to the guest. He rolled his eyes and said in a hurry,""The two seniors are both Masters. We are weak and can't greet you well. Why don't I report this to our sect's Grand Elder and have him come out to receive you?"

It was the rule of Jianghu for a nascent Soul Stage old monster to come out and entertain a nascent Soul Stage old monster. It was reasonable for him to propose this. At least he could avoid being bullied unilaterally. Otherwise, it would be really stressful to talk with him and the high-level Jindan stage cultivators present.

"As you wish." Lin Yi waved his hand noncommittally. He wasn't interested in the Grand Elder himself, but since he was here, it didn't matter if he met the Grand Elder along the way. It would also help Duanmu Yu gain some face.

"Alright, alright. Please wait a moment, seniors. I'll go report this to the Grand Elder." Ye Qingcheng hurriedly left.

Logically speaking, even if he wanted to ask the Grand Elder for instructions, he didn't need to go personally. However, he couldn't ask for more. After all, Qiu mingchong was his direct disciple, and although Qiu mingchong was the one who incited the spiritual sense grass, it was mainly his own idea. He didn't dare to stay in front of Lin Yi and Bing Wuqing for even a second longer as the pressure was too great.

A moment later, an old man in green walked into the divine leaf Palace quickly accompanied by ye Qingcheng. His aura was hidden, but it gave people a feeling that it was bottomless. All the high-level officials of the leaf spirit sect, including ye tongxuan and Duanmu Yu, hurriedly greeted him in unison. Without a doubt, this was the Grand Elder of the leaf spirit sect, ye Yixing.

He was not only the Grand Supreme elder but also the master of ye Qingcheng and ye tongxuan. In other words, he was Duanmu Yu's Grandmaster.

"Two fellow Daoists have come to visit, this old man has not welcomed you, please forgive me." Ye Yixing cupped his hands in greeting and smiled. He had been in a state of semi-seclusion all these years. If such a thing had not happened, he would not have appeared.

Bing Wuqing looked at him with a scrutinizing look. He was slightly stronger than her, at the mid-stage of the nascent soul realm. However, it was obvious that this guy had hidden injuries. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to tell, but it couldn't escape the observation of an expert at the peak of the early-stage of the nascent soul realm.

"You're welcome. For two unrelated people like us, we have to trouble you to come out despite your injuries. Speaking of which, we have been rude." Lin Yi said faintly. Bing Wuqing could only vaguely tell that the other party had hidden injuries, but he could directly tell that the other party's injuries weren't ordinary. The deep aura that the other party had restrained clearly had traces of Qi deviation. It looked like the backlash at that time wasn't light, and it had probably been delayed for a long time, and still hadn't recovered.
