Beauty and the Bodyguard

Lin Yi looked at the Kappa with interest. It seemed that this guy had been holding a grudge against the water lotus Protector for a long time. He was obviously trying to stir up trouble by saying something like this. But it was no wonder. The Kappa was wiped out by the water lotus Protector, and it was the only one left. The sacred water pearl was also taken away. It would be strange if the Kappa didn't hold a grudge.

"Master is dead! Everyone, run!" Kappa was the first one to escape, and the rest of the patrolling bees were also frightened. They looked at each other and ran away without hesitation, not caring about anything else.

Their hatred for their master, protector water lotus, was not far from the hatred of the Kappa's extermination. Just because of a casual word from protector water lotus, they wanted to kill each other. They only had fear for such a master, and would never be loyal to him. With a little instigation, they would naturally fly away when a great disaster was imminent.

With the Kappa and the patrolling bee as a warning, the other spirit beasts all fled as well, leaving only Lin Yi and Duanmu Yu speechless.

But this was good, it saved him a lot of trouble. Although Lin Yi didn't care about these spirit beast minions with his strength, it was still a problem. This time, it was solved by Kappa with one sentence, he had to give it a like.

After a moment of silence, Duanmu Yu suddenly asked,"What happened just now?"

"You mean that Kappa? It's talking nonsense. I can kill it with one look. I'm not a God!" Lin Yi said with a smile.

"I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about what happened to that strange space just now. How did my primordial spirit get taken in, and even that guy was restrained?" Duanmu Yu asked. This question had been suppressed in her heart since earlier. However, she couldn't ask it in front of the water lotus Protector. Now that there was no one around, she really couldn't hold it in anymore.

"This ..." Lin Yi couldn't help but hesitate. He was afraid that Duanmu Yu would be in trouble if he left her alone outside, so he hurriedly brought her spirit into the Jade space. This was one of his core secrets, and he couldn't reveal it to outsiders. After today's incident, Duanmu Yu could be considered a life-and-death friend, but he wasn't at the level where he could completely trust his own people. He didn't dare to reveal this to him.

Seeing his hesitation, Duanmu Yu knew that this matter definitely couldn't be easily revealed to him. However, she had always gotten to the bottom of things and never let loose a grain of sand in her eyes. If this matter wasn't cleared up, she would probably think about it for the rest of her life. It might even become a knot in her heart that would have a bad influence on her future cultivation.

"Didn't you say that I'm Your Woman? You can't even tell your woman about this?" Duanmu Yu suddenly said with a red face.

"Ugh ..." Lin Yi choked. He looked at Duanmu Yu up and down with a weird expression. Duanmu Yu's face was red, but his expression was calm. It was as if he had already gotten over it.

Being stared at by Lin Yi at such a close distance, Duanmu Yu's heart couldn't help but beat faster even though he was a heroine. A strange thought flashed through his mind. Was this the legendary "heart beating like a deer"?

"What ... What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Duanmu Yu didn't want to be outdone as he stared at Lin Yi.

"I'm sorry about that ... I'm only saying this to piss that guy off. Don't take it to heart. " Lin Yi couldn't help but scratch his head awkwardly. He didn't think it through when he said it, and it was too sudden. It was a good thing Duanmu Yu was more open-minded, or it would be awkward if it was on another woman.

"So I misunderstood?" Duanmu Yu took a deep look at him and said with a somewhat complicated expression."Alright, since that's the case, how about we make a deal?"

"Deal? What kind of deal?" Lin Yi blinked.

"Didn't you want to know more about the rejuvenation of withered leaves? I can explain the essence of this move to you. In return, you have to tell me what happened to that space just now. How about it?" Duanmu Yu suggested.

"Isn't the rejuvenation of withered leaves a secret of your leaf spirit sect?" Lin Yi asked, surprised.

"According to our ancestors" rules,"rejuvenation of the withered leaves" can not be taught to outsiders. However, our spirit leaf sect has always been fair in our gratitude and grudges. Since you saved me, I can make an exception this time. " Duanmu Yu said.

If she thought about it carefully, her words might not be true. Even if she wanted to repay Lin Yi for saving her life, she didn't have to say the essence of the phrase. She could have used other methods, but she was the big Senior Sister of the spirit leaf sect. According to the sect's rules, as long as she was one level stronger, she would be the next sect leader. Even if she did, the higher-ups wouldn't do anything to her.

"What if I'm a big mouth and spread the essence of the rejuvenation of withered leaves?" Lin Yi asked. "Rejuvenation of withered leaves" was a trump card of the entire sect, and probably only the core disciples had the chance to learn it. If word got out that it was being studied and targeted, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Duanmu Yu took a deep look at him and said with certainty,"You won 't,"

"Alright, since you trust me so much, I'll do as you say," Lin Yi smiled.

"Then aren't you afraid that I'll spread your secret?" Duanmu Yu asked.

"You won 't," Lin Yi replied with the same words. Although they weren't that familiar with each other, one could tell a person's true nature when they were in a life and death situation. Just like how Duanmu Yu trusted him, Lin Yi also believed that Duanmu Yu wasn't a despicable person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought Duanmu Yu's soul into the space without saying anything. In fact, from that moment on, Lin Yi had revealed all his secrets to Duanmu Yu.

Hearing this, Duanmu Yu's face turned slightly red again. As the eldest Senior Sister of leaf spirit sect, the number of times she blushed today was more than the total number of times in the past ten years combined. Even she herself felt that it was a little strange that her face and ears would turn red for no reason. Did she have a fever?

"However, I'll tell you the ugly truth first. I can only tell you the essence of the withered leaves return to spring, but I won't tell you the cultivation method. Is that okay?" Duanmu Yu threw away the wild thoughts in his mind and returned to the main topic. Although it was very troublesome to reveal the essence of the technique, if there was no cultivation method, it could at least guarantee that others would not be able to cultivate the "rejuvenation of withered leaves" for a short period of time. This was the sect's trump card and would not be used on their own people.

"No problem," he said. Lin Yi nodded. He didn't really plan on learning the skill in the first place-he had the Jade space to replenish his Qi, after all, so there was no need for that. He just wanted to study it and see if he could learn anything valuable from it.
