Lin Yi was silent for a moment. Suddenly, he looked up at Huo Yudie with an unfriendly expression and said in a cold tone, "So, you also participated in the torture, right?"
"No." Huo Yudie shook her head.
"No, how did you know?" Lin Yi's eyes sharpened and he asked.
"I overheard it when I secretly let her go! She looked so pitiful to me, but I haven't seen her since. "Huo Yudie pursed her lips and said.
Phew! Hearing this, Lin Yi let out a long sigh of relief. Originally, he felt that this girl was inexplicable and even a little vigilant, but now his impression of her became much better, and his eyes became much kinder.
No matter who the woman in the secular world was, whether it was his confidante Chen Xi or Rock Candy, Song Lingrui, Tian Die, or even the Highest Elder of Snow Valley, Lin Yi didn't want anything to happen to them, because each of them had a direct or indirect relationship with him.
What's more, Huo Yudie had saved this woman's life. Just because of this kindness, Lin Yi wouldn't ignore her like before. No matter who this woman was, Lin Yi felt that he should be indebted to her!
Although he said that, Lin Yi was secretly grateful, but at the same time, he was shocked!
That woman offended the Deputy Dean's granddaughter, and as a result, she was locked up and tortured unscrupulously. It could be seen how dangerous the environment of East Continent College was. Huo Yudie dared to release this woman without permission. Wasn't that making an enemy of the Deputy Dean's granddaughter?
"Didn't the Deputy Dean's granddaughter make trouble for you after you secretly released her?" Lin Yi looked her up and down and said. At the beginning, he had guessed that this girl's identity might not be simple. Otherwise, she wouldn't be qualified to follow him to West Island, and she wouldn't dare to oppose the Deputy Dean's granddaughter!
"First, she didn't see me release her with her own eyes. Second, I am Liu Ziyu's direct disciple." Huo Yudie said lightly.
"No wonder!" Lin Yi suddenly came to a realization. Of these two reasons, the latter was the key. Since the other party could casually pin a crime on someone, it didn't matter whether he saw it or not! And the Liu Ziyu that the other party was talking about was the Deputy Dean who was representing Morning Pride Academy on this diplomatic mission to the West Island!
The Heavenly Island had always adhered to the ancient customs. The status and importance of a direct disciple was not the slightest bit inferior to those descendants who were related by blood. In fact, it was often even more so.
This was because not all of his descendants would be able to achieve greatness, and there were even fewer who could truly inherit his legacy. However, personal disciples were different. They were existences that were destined to inherit his legacy. They were the inheritors that the big shots had spent countless efforts and energy on. This kind of inheritance relationship was even above blood relations. The Divine Nun of the East Sea and Wang Xinyan were a ready-made example.
As Liu Ziyu's personal disciple, it was normal for Huo Yudie to not be afraid of the Vice Headmaster's granddaughter. After all, if Liu Ziyu's status was higher than the Vice Headmaster's, the latter would have to curry favor with her instead.
"Then why are you looking for me?" Lin Yi asked. He'd asked this question three times already, and this was the only time he'd asked it in the friendliest tone. If it wasn't something too troublesome, Lin Yi wouldn't mind. If it wasn't something too troublesome, he would really be willing to help the other party.
"My current strength is at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection. I'm only one step away from the final breakthrough." Huo Yudie said with a serious face.
"And then?" Lin Yi nodded. The other party did not restrain her aura. He had already noticed this a long time ago, but he did not particularly care about it. The strength of the Nascent Soul Great Perfection was considered top-notch among the people in this trial, but Lin Yi himself was a freak who could even kill a Profound Ascending Stage expert in one move. Of course, he did not feel that it was a big deal.
"I've been stuck in this realm for more than ten years …" Huo Yudie said pitifully.
"More than ten years?" Lin Yi looked at her noncommittally. At the Nascent Soul Stage, it would take at least a few decades or even a hundred years for a normal person to break through. This was nothing to be pitiful about, right?
However, from this point, it could be seen that the other party's aptitude was indeed extraordinary. No wonder she could become the Vice Dean's direct disciple. If it was an ordinary cultivator who had been stuck at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection for more than ten years, it would not be called a bottleneck at all. At most, it would be a warm-up …
"Yes, so Senior Brother Lin, can you help me?" Huo Yudie's eyes were watery as she looked at Lin Yi. She couldn't help but feel sorry for him. If Kang Zhaoming was in Lin Yi's place, he'd probably kneel down without a second thought. He'd do whatever she asked him to do without a second thought.
"Pfft!" However, Lin Yi's reaction was completely different from what he had imagined. He almost burst out laughing. He coughed a few times and said, "Ahem. Since you've been stuck for more than ten years, you must be older than me, so you don't have to call me Senior Brother … "
"It's okay, I'm mentally young. I've always been cultivating and rarely come into contact with the outside world." Huo Yudie shook her head indifferently. It seemed that she really didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Lin Yi couldn't help but look sideways. In this short period of time, he had some understanding of the other party, but he was not completely sure. He didn't know whether the other party pretended to be so innocent in order to deliberately confuse him, or whether she really didn't have any bad intentions.
Lin Yi thought that he had a good eye for people, but in the face of this Huo Yudie who suddenly appeared, he was really a little uncertain. If all this was purely an act, then her acting skills were too good. But if the other party was so simple and natural, it didn't seem to be completely so. Could it be that she was both?
"Whatever you want. My patience is limited. Don't beat around the bush anymore. What do you want me to do?" Lin Yi simply asked straightforwardly.
Even if he knew that the other party might have saved his confidante, Lin Yi really had no time to waste at the moment. If he wanted to get the first place in this West Island trial, he must race against time.
"Well, I heard Master mention that in the ruins of the ancient battlefield in West Island, there seems to be a place where the Thunder Xuan Vine grows!" Huo Yudie no longer hid, and her eyes were shining.
"Thunder Xuan Vine? What's that? "Lin Yi was stunned when he heard this. He couldn't help but frown a little. The name sounded a little familiar.
Huo Yudie couldn't help but look at Lin Yi. It seemed that he didn't even know this kind of thing. She was stunned for a moment and then said, "That's the main material for refining the Thunder Xuan Pill."
"Thunder Xuan Pill? Yes! "Lin Yi finally remembered that the Thunder Xuan Pill was a necessary pill to promote to the Profound Ascension Stage!
Although he was now at the peak of the early stage of Yuanying Stage, and it seemed that there was still a long time before he reached the Profound Ascension Stage, but with the promotion speed of his strongest Yuanying Stage, this time was much shorter than ordinary people. Especially with a fortuitous encounter like the Five Poison Swamp, he might reach it in the blink of an eye. (To be continued)
