How could Lin Yi not tell? But Xinyan didn't think that much at a time like this. Hearing that Zhaolong was willing to use this as a bargaining chip, she was overjoyed. She turned to Lin Yi. "Lin Yi, will you agree to it?"
Lin Yi looked at the expectant Xinyan beside him. His heart skipped a beat. Xinyan's feelings were very obvious, and her words had betrayed her!
But Lin Yi was getting more and more confused. Why would Xinyan care so much about her engagement with Zhaolong? Technically, it wasn't a big deal to break the engagement, was it?
"Alright!" But since Xinyan was looking forward to it, Lin Yi didn't want to disappoint her. As for Zhaolong, Lin Yi wouldn't really leave him be. After all, they were classmates. Even if Lin Yi wanted to do something to him, he wouldn't do it this way.
It wasn't a good thing for Boss White if a student died during the winter tour. Lin Yi, naturally, wouldn't make things difficult for him.
And so, Lin Yi reached out with his right hand and hugged Xinyan, pulling her against his chest!
"Ah …" Xinyan didn't expect Lin Yi to suddenly hug her. She lowered her head shyly. Her heart was beating fast, but she didn't dare raise her head to look at Lin Yi and Zhaolong!
Of course, Lin Yi wasn't paying attention to Xinyan's situation. His other hand reached out to grab Zhaolong, who was running behind him!
As for Zhaolong, even if Lin Yi wanted to save him, he wouldn't let him off easy.
Zhaolong relaxed a little when Lin Yi pulled him back, but the next moment, something cruel happened that he didn't expect!
Lin Yi increased his speed after grabbing Zhaolong. Xinyan was in Lin Yi's arms, so she wasn't affected. Zhaolong, on the other hand, was unluckier. He couldn't keep up with Lin Yi's speed, and Lin Yi dragged him forward. He fell on his butt and was dragged forward by Lin Yi. The ground of the valley was smooth and covered with ice and snow, but Zhaolong's butt still bumped into the rocks on the snowy ground!
After all, no matter how smooth the valley floor was, it was impossible for there to be no rocks on it. Zhaolong was in trouble!
"Ouch …" Zhaolong's cries were especially piercing in the valley. Very soon, his butt was covered in cuts from the stones on the ground. The wounds from before were mostly healed by Miracle Doctor Kang's Golden Creation Medicine, but now they were being cut open again, adding more wounds on top of the previous ones.
But … Zhaolong was in great pain, but he knew that Lin Yi was doing this on purpose. If Lin Yi could carry Xinyan, it didn't mean that he couldn't carry Zhaolong as well! Lin Yi was a practitioner, after all.
But it was already good enough that Lin Yi wasn't carrying him. Zhaolong was afraid that Lin Yi would abandon him, so he could only endure it. When he couldn't hold it in any longer … He looked at the big turtle chasing after him and thought of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, so he held back.
Slowly. Lin Yi increased the distance between him and the turtle. Lin Yi's qinggong was good, and without Xinyan and Zhaolong holding him back, he didn't need to worry about the turtle catching up.
The big turtle, on the other hand, let out an angry roar as it watched Lin Yi and the others getting further and further away. It knew that it wouldn't be able to catch up. When it saw Lin Yi carrying one person and pulling another, it knew that it had to give up. There were practitioners here. It really couldn't take advantage of them!
Lin Yi's guess was correct. The turtle's strength lay in defense, not offense. Even if Lin Yi was a Sky class, he couldn't do anything to it. But it couldn't catch up to Lin Yi.
It had no choice but to swallow this loss! It wasn't that it didn't have the Ice Crystal Turtle Saliva. It still had some, but it was very precious. This small bottle would take the turtle tens of years to refine. This was the crystallization of its strength. It wasn't very useful to the big turtle, but it was very useful to the little turtle. The little turtle could use this to train!
The big turtle still had some left, but something as precious as this was something that could increase its strength. It didn't want to give it to Lin Yi that easily, but it couldn't get it back now. There was nothing it could do.
"Don't let me see you again!" The big turtle roared helplessly.
Lin Yi heard the turtle's roar, and he felt nervous for no reason. This was actually a sign of guilt. Lin Yi did take the Ice Crystal Turtle Saliva bottle, so in theory, Zhaolong was the scapegoat for him!
Although Zhaolong was the one who started it all, Zhaolong was the one who found the bottle, so Lin Yi still felt a little grateful towards Zhaolong. This was also the reason why he didn't abandon Zhaolong.
"Lin Yi … Can you let me go now … That monster isn't chasing us anymore, my butt …" Zhaolong was almost crying from the pain. His butt didn't seem to belong to him anymore.
"Oh." Lin Yi was in the middle of sprinting when he heard Zhaolong's words. Zhaolong, on the other hand, leaned backwards due to the inertia, and the back of his head hit the ground with a clang, hitting the big bump on the ground. The pain made him grit his teeth in pain!
"Lin Yi, you did that on purpose, didn't you?" Zhaolong got up from the ground and turned around, glaring at Lin Yi.
"You told me to let you go." Lin Yi curled his lips, not caring.
"…" Zhaolong was angry, but he didn't let it show. Lin Yi was his savior, after all, and he wasn't that ungrateful. But the more he looked at Xinyan in Lin Yi's arms, the angrier he got!
It was just that Zhaolong had promised that he'd turn a blind eye to what happened between Lin Yi and Xinyan. He wanted to go back on his words when he got back, but it hadn't been that long, and he didn't have the thick skin to deny it. He could only pinch his nose and accept it.
"Lin Yi … Can you put me down now …?" Xinyan's heart was beating like crazy, but she felt a little better when she remembered that they were running for their lives. Now that they were safe, she felt a little embarrassed.
"Okay." Lin Yi put Xinyan down. It wasn't that he wanted to take advantage of her, but that he'd forgotten that she was in his arms. Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a little regretful after putting her down. He'd been so focused on running and thinking about the Ice Crystal that he'd forgotten about the beauty in his arms. He only came back to his senses after Xinyan reminded him, but he didn't think about taking advantage of her. He could've trained while running. (To be continued …)
