You're speaking up for him?
The last time Lin Yi had called was six days ago, and he'd said that he'd reached a small town called Icesnow Town. It was very close to the extreme north, but the terrain had changed a bit since ancient times. He'd tried a couple of roads, but he couldn't get there. He'd decided to wait a couple of days for the wind and snow to stop, and then he'd go on foot!
After that, the trial happened. Lin Yi didn't want to worry Tang Yun, Mengyao, and Shu, so he didn't tell them about it. He wanted to contact them after the trial was over.
Who would've thought that there would be so many troublesome things after the trial? He didn't get the Fire Spirit's fruit, so how could Lin Yi leave so easily? In the trial, in order to prevent the teams from contacting each other with satellite phones, there seemed to be signal interference on Ice Snow Mountain. There was no signal here at all!
So, even if Lin Yi wanted to contact Tang Yun and explain the situation, he couldn't! But Lin Yi couldn't leave, either. He could only contact them after he got back.
"Let's hope so …" Tang Yin nodded, but she was still worried …
… …
The sun rose and set, and it was another day.
The disciples around the Ice Palace changed batch after batch, but Lin Yi was still standing at the entrance, waiting for Elder Qing to convince the sect master to give him the fruit!
Lin Yi's heart was filled with helplessness and bitterness. It was a feeling of defeat in the face of the cruel reality!
Lin Yi was a proud and aloof person, and he'd never lowered his head to any power- not even House Yu, who was stronger than him!
But at this moment, there was nothing Lin Yi could do- the strength of the Ice Palace was beyond Lin Yi's understanding- Lin Yi understood that in order to save Xiaoxiao, the only way was to lower his head!
What else could he do? He couldn't fight them, and he couldn't steal the fruit. Not only would he die here, but Xiaoxiao would die as well! Therefore, the only thing Lin Yi could do was to move the Ice Palace with his persistence.
Although it looked a little ridiculous, this was the only way for Lin Yi! Luckily, Lin Yi had the halo of being the top participant. As long as he didn't do anything against the rules of the Ice Palace, the Ice Palace couldn't do anything to him!
You can't kill someone just because he begged you to treat his girlfriend, right? Although the Ice Palace was domineering, they didn't want to do such a thing. Although no one would say anything if they did it, who would dare to participate in the next Ice Palace trial?
Any trial-taker who wanted to trade for treasures from the Ice Palace would be killed because they wanted to trade for treasures from the Ice Palace. What would the Ice Palace become then? Therefore, Lin Yi was determined to stay here and not leave no matter what!
Lin Yi didn't know if going back on his word would have any effect or hope, but what Lin Yi knew was that if he just turned and left, then there would be no hope at all! Although, a Sky class could cure the cold qi in Xiaoxiao's body, Lin Yi wasn't sure if it would work or not!
This was just something Old Lin had read about in an ancient book, but the fact that the fruit could cure Xiaoxiao was verified by Zhang Liju himself!
What made Lin Yi suspect the most was that Zhang Liju was already a Sky class. Since he could make qi gathering pills, and there were two left in the tomb, that meant that he had broken through to Sky class, and didn't need qi gathering pills anymore!
Otherwise, Lin Yi didn't believe that a practitioner wouldn't take these pills and bring them into the tomb! As for the side effects of the qi gathering pill, Elder Qing had said that it didn't exist in ancient times, so Zhang Liju had no reason not to take it!
Since Zhang Liju was a Sky class now, why didn't he save his friend? Why would he go all the way to find the fruit? This made Lin Yi feel a little unimaginable- there had to be something he didn't know about!
Unless Zhang Liju didn't know that Sky class could cure the cold poison, but Lin Yi didn't think that was a valid reason- with Zhang Liju's knowledge and connections, there was no way he wouldn't know what Lin Yi and Lin Yi both knew.
And so, this made Lin Yi guess- could it be that the effect of a Sky class wasn't as good as the Fire Spirit's fruit? Or would there be some kind of flaw after the cure?
This was also the reason why Lin Yi didn't give up- he didn't know the future- he could only hold onto the present!
"Sect Master, Ling Yi is still outside …" Qing said when she came to see the sect master in the morning.
"Aunt Qing, why do I feel like you're speaking up for that Ling Yi?" The sect master heard this and couldn't help but smile, "You didn't chase him away on purpose, did you? You wanted him to stay here so you could move me?"
"I …" Qing felt a little awkward, "Sect Master, I just think that Ling Yi is a poor kid, I'm a soft-hearted person, you know that …"
"Yeah, I know … If you hadn't picked me up, I would've frozen to death on the streets …" The sect master sighed, "Aunt Qing, I'm not blaming you- logically speaking, I should help since you've said that, but you know how important the fruit is to us, so … If he doesn't have proof that he can find a refiner, I can't help him! Although I have full control of the Ice Palace, there's still the elder council. As long as it doesn't go against the interests of the Ice Palace, then I can keep my word. But if I do something that goes against the interests of the Ice Palace, then even if I am the sect master, the elder council will reject my orders. Of course, they won't use that power easily! "
"I'm also a member of the Elder Council, of course I know … But, if you can really find an alchemist, you won't need the Fire Spirit's Fruit with the Ice Heart Jade Bone Pill. As for the Elder Council, I can take care of it!" At this point, Little Qing revealed her dominance for the first time!
In front of the sect master, she was respectful, but more than that, she was kind and doting. But in the elder council, Qing was on the same level as the grand elder! Even the grand elder wouldn't dare argue with Qing's words!
This was also why the sect master was able to take control of the Ice Palace at such a young age. Without Qing's support, even with the support of the sect master and the grand elder, it wouldn't be as easy as it was now!
"Aunt Qing, I give up." The sect master knew that Aunt Qing was determined to put in a good word for Lin Yi!
