Beauty and the Bodyguard

If it was just about Bing Wuqing, it wouldn't be attractive at all from Lin Yi's point of view. However, this was a negotiation, and he couldn't just show his bottom line right from the start. That would be too stupid.

"If this is all you've got and you don't even have the least bit of sincerity, then there's no need to continue this discussion. Elder Lu, please leave." Xin Yijie chimed in.

"Don't worry. Before I came here, the Grand Elder also said that he will personally meet with you after sending Bing Wuqing away. He will definitely give you a satisfactory answer by then. What do you think?" Lu Pingan quickly added.

To Lin Yi, Chen Jiu's appearance was a much more favorable condition than Bing Wuqing's appearance on the mountain. This was the only way to confirm Lin Yi's status as a Taigu great uncle-master, unless Chen Jiu turned hostile.

Of course, Lin Yi didn't think too much of it. This was just Chen Jiu and Lu Ping 'an's wishful thinking.

"You have no proof." Lin Yi said faintly.

"Don't tell me martial granduncle still wants Grand Elder to write a written pledge for you?" Lu Pingan frowned.

"Hehe, rather than believing in the written agreement, I might as well believe in a ghost. How about this? let Bing Wuqing come up to see me first, and we'll talk about the other things later." Lin Yi decided.

"This ..." Lu Ping 'an hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed,""Alright, as a show of sincerity, we'll take a step back. However, we'll be waiting for your response next."

The meaning was clear-if Lin Yi sent Bing Wuqing away honestly, they could continue with the next step of the negotiation. If not, it would be equivalent to completely falling out with each other, and there was nothing to discuss.

"Alright," Lin Yi nodded. Although they were Trapped in the Sky in one step formation, he had no intention of leaving Bing Wuqing behind to help them. Compared to this side, Leng Leng, who was staying in the snow sword sect, needed the protection of the nascent Soul Stage expert Bing Wuqing more. After all, there was still the huge hidden danger, Xue Jianfeng, there.

In addition, he had another consideration. He was afraid that Bing Wuqing would really fight with Chen Jiu on impulse. Although she was already a nascent Soul Stage expert, she had just broken through, and her Foundation was still unstable. At that time, not only would it mean that she would completely fall out with the green cloud sect of the North Island, but the one who would suffer would definitely be Bing Wuqing. There would be no benefits.

Lu Pingan was very efficient, and he brought Bing Wuqing up very quickly. Of course, Bing Wuqing didn't have an identity token, so she could only stand outside the formation and talk to Lin Yi. Otherwise, she might not be able to leave.

"Boss Lin Yi, I'm glad you're fine." Bing Wuqing finally let out a sigh of relief when she saw that Lin Yi was safe and sound. Although she knew that Lin Yi wouldn't be so easily destroyed by Chen Jiu, she still felt worried when she didn't see him. Now, he was finally safe.

"Hehe, what could be wrong with me?" Lin Yi smiled-he'd noticed the way the guy called him, and it was obvious that he'd learned it from people like Chentian. It seemed like this cocky ancient genius had recognized his position, and their relationship wasn't just a mere threat anymore-he really wanted to be Lin Yi's follower.

"Then what do you need me to do now? help you break the formation, or directly deal with Chen Jiu?" Bing Wuqing didn't have the habit of exchanging pleasantries. Even if she was expressing her loyalty, she would be direct and straightforward.

"You don't have to do anything. Return to snow sword sect and help me take care of coold. Just bide your time." Lin Yi said.

"The snow sword peak?" Bing Wuqing couldn't quite figure out what Lin Yi was thinking. Things were different now, and he was already the center of betrayal after coming to the North Island. Naturally, there was no need to continue pretending. If it weren't for the fact that he was afraid of messing up Lin Yi's plans, he would've killed Xue Jianfeng directly and left him alive.

"If he doesn't move, you won't move either. No matter what response he and central make, your primary task is to ensure coold's and your own safety. You don't have to worry about anything else for the time being." Lin Yi said.

"Alright, I understand." Bing Wuqing understood. Although Lin Yi didn't reveal more, she could already understand what he was thinking. Not making a move for now meant that there would be a big move between him and central in the future, but the time wasn't right yet.

"By the way, it's rare for you to come to the North Island. I can't let you waste your time." Lin Yi said as he called over Xin Yijie, who was waiting at the side, and passed two pills to Bing Wuqing.

"Many Thanks, boss!" Bing Wuqing's eyes brightened. A Supreme-grade golden core was, strictly speaking, her main purpose for coming to the North Island. Although it sounded a little too realistic and even despicable, it was undeniable that it was the truth. To put it nicely, he was extremely rational, but to put it bluntly, he was only concerned with profit. He was just not as short-sighted as ordinary people.

Lin Yi was well aware of this, but he didn't mind. Since he was the boss, he had to have the corresponding structure and tolerance. As long as Bing Wuqing did her best, he wouldn't hold her back in the supply of elixirs. After all, as long as he could control her, the stronger Bing Wuqing was, the better it was for him.

After taking the two golden cores, Bing Wuqing didn't express any gratitude verbally. She only bowed to Lin Yi solemnly and left. Since Lin Yi told her to stay put and take care of Leng Leng, she would do as he said. The trouble on the North Island obviously didn't need her to meddle in. From the beginning, she knew that a mere Chen Jiu wouldn't be able to stop Lin Yi.

With two top-grade golden elixirs, she could advance two levels in a short period of time, and become a mid-stage nascent soul expert, thanks to her extraordinary talent. Bing Wuqing was looking forward to her future even more.

Bing Wuqing left, and she left very nimbly. She didn't say goodbye to anyone when she came down from the ascending heaven cliff, and directly disappeared into the horizon on her snow Eagle.

"Alright, it's time to get down to business." Lin Yi said as he stretched.

"Ha?" Even now, Xin Yijie was still in a daze. The two pills that he had just handed over were simply too shocking. Even now, he was still in shock.

That was the legendary Supreme-grade golden core!

He was sure that Lin Yi was his sect's great uncle-master before, and even if he wasn 't, he had to have some sort of connection with the green cloud sect, but now he was starting to doubt it. What kind of monster was Lin Yi to give someone a peak-grade golden pill, and two at that? The small green cloud School on the North Island probably couldn't accommodate such a great God, right?

"You also want medicinal pills?" Lin Yi looked at him.

Xin Yijie didn't know how to react.
