Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 6222 I Want To Challenge You!

"I'm more than 90% sure I'll meet them. To be honest, I'm quite interested in their true appearance under the bamboo hats. " Lin Yi had some guesses about their true identities, but he couldn't be sure until he saw them for himself.

The two talked as they walked, and they soon arrived at the guest area. It was still early, and there was no one else other than the two of them, so Lin Yi graciously picked two of the best seats and sat down. He invited li Zao Yi to eat the spirit fruit on the table.

Although the place was not luxuriously decorated, the food prepared by the spirit beast clan was still very good. Those spirit fruits were all precious. They could hardly be seen on the other big islands for sale. They were all specialty products from the spirit beast forest.

Those who were weaker, like golden core and nascent soul cultivators, could eat one of these fruits. It was equivalent to what they'd get from practitioning in isolation. Even Lin Yi and Li Zao Yi would benefit from it.

"These things are really good. It would be great if I could bring a batch when I leave later." Lin Yi couldn't help but praise after eating a few fruits.

"There won't be a lot of such a good thing. It's not easy to buy it in the market." Li Zao Yi covered her mouth and smiled. In fact, she also liked this kind of spirit fruit. It was delicious and beneficial to cultivation. If she could really get a batch back, she wouldn't object.

"If you can't buy it in the market, you can ask the Green Dragon for help. We've worked so hard to refine pills for him. We can't be stingy with a few fruits!" Lin Yi smiled-he wasn't really asking for the fruit, he was just saying it.

"The two of you are really in a good mood. You're eating and drinking here without any pressure!" A deep man's voice suddenly came from the side. Lin Yi and lizao Yi had actually seen the muscular man walking over, but they didn't pay attention to him.

She didn't expect him to take the initiative to come over and talk to her. Moreover, he looked like he came with ill intentions. He was most likely here to find trouble.

"Who are you?" Lin Yi said lazily as he raised his head to glance at the man. He then threw another fruit into his mouth and started chewing.

"Li Yan of The White Tiger clan!" The man introduced himself coolly, looking down at Lin Yi and Li Zao Yi.

"Li Yan, are you here to tell us not to eat too much? Could it be that these spirit fruits were just decorations for the spirit beasts? Then I'm really sorry, we didn't know about this!" Lin Yi said apologetically as he swallowed the fruit in his mouth, as if he really was sorry.

Li Yan looked at Lin Yi in disdain, as if he were looking at a country bumpkin. Of course, he wouldn't come looking for Lin Yi for these spirit fruits. He was a direct descendant of The White Tiger clan, so how could he care about these spirit fruits?

Lin Yi knew this as well, but he said it on purpose to see how Li Yan would react.

"I know you guys haven't eaten such good spirit fruits before. Try your best. It's fine, in case you won't be able to eat them in the future!" Li Yan didn't even try to hide the sneer on his face as he pointed at the two,"I heard that because of you two human spies, our White Tiger clan lost two experts! Is there such a thing?"

Lin Yi smiled faintly, thinking that they were here for this! Li Yan probably didn't dare to mess with the Vermillion Bird and Azure Dragon's men, so he thought Lin Yi and Li Zao Yi were pushovers and wanted to get his revenge on them.

"First, we are not spies! Second, the death of your White Tiger clan is your own fault. What does it have to do with the two of us? From the beginning to the end, I only tried to stop the two sides from fighting, but I didn't succeed. The conflict that broke out later, I, an outsider, couldn't get involved, and you can blame me for that?" Lin Yi shrugged, expressing his innocence.

Li Yan didn't know what the relationship between half a piece of spiritual Jade and the other half was, but he guessed that it was most likely a human's sophistry. He immediately waved his hand and said,"No matter how glib your tongue is, don't try to fool me! If it weren't for you two human spies, there wouldn't have been any internal strife in our spirit beast clan. So, in the end, it's all because of you!"

"You're just trying to frame me! Stop talking nonsense, just do it if you want to, don't talk about useless things! But I'm warning you, don't think that just because you keep calling us spies, we're really spies! To be honest, we didn't come here of our own will. Elder Azure Dragon sent someone to invite us here. If Elder White Tiger really wants to fall out with elder Azure Dragon, then you can do it!" Lin Yi didn't move at all, his expression extremely calm. His words were half-true and half-false, and even Li Yan started to hesitate.

If The White Tiger elder really wanted to fall out with him, Li Yan would naturally have no qualms about it. Unfortunately, he had acted on his own this time. The previous life-and-death battle had already caused an irreparable crack in the relationship between the two sides. If something were to happen again, it might really cause the spirit beast clan to split.

"Good! But don't think that this matter is over. After my king's coronation ceremony, I will directly challenge you to a life and death duel! Don't even think about stopping me!" Li Yan was silent for a while before grinning at Lin Yi, the killing intent in his eyes almost tangible.

Lin Yi squinted his eyes. He didn't know the rules of a spirit beast fight, but from Li Yan's confident look, it didn't seem like it would be easy to avoid. This was a bit of a headache.

"Li Yan, you're not from The White Tiger clan, but from the rabid dog clan, right? It clearly has nothing to do with me, so why are you biting me and not letting go? Is it because you're afraid of the Vermilion Bird and the Azure Dragon clan?" Lin Yi wasn't afraid of Li Yan turning on him, but he was afraid that they'd get tangled up!

This would greatly affect Lin Yi's follow-up actions. He might not even be able to destroy the cooperation between the spirit beast clan and central, let alone find the seal on the big Frog.

Although Lin Yi's main purpose in coming to the southern island was to gather information, and he'd already accomplished that goal-it was enough for him to report to Shangguan Tianhua. But now that he knew there was a conspiracy between the spirit beast clan and central, wouldn't he be sitting back and watching the enemy grow stronger if he didn't destroy it?

"Afraid? Our White Tiger clan has nothing to fear! You two human spies are bent on destroying the unity of our spirit beast clan. If we don't kill you first, how can our spirit beast clan have peace in the future? You don't have to continue to quibble, I won't fall for your trick. Just wait to accept my challenge, and then die!" Li Yan felt that he had already gained the upper hand, so his tone suddenly became arrogant.
