"Chairman Zhuang, then I won't be sending you off." Lin Yi bade farewell to Zhuang Yifan, indicating for the three girls to calm down. Then, he supported Liu Ziyu into a specialized recovery room.
After Lin Yi had Liu Ziyu sit down, he immediately channeled essential Qi from his back to treat her injuries. At the same time, he was also treating his own injuries. Both of their injuries were not light, especially Liu Ziyu, who had expended a large amount of vital energy in addition to her injuries. Right now, she was in a rather weak state.
"Your essential Qi can actually treat people's injuries?" Liu Ziyu could sense that wherever Lin Yi's essential Qi passed through, her injuries would rapidly recover. She could not help but be astonished. She had never seen such a fast recovery rate before!
"Yes, my essential Qi is rather unique." Lin Yi nodded. Originally, such a secret could not be casually revealed to outsiders, but after tonight's battle, if he still treated Liu Ziyu as an outsider, he would be too heartless.
Just because of a sudden request of his, Liu Ziyu had risked her life to engage in a life-and-death battle with Chang Minggui, who was much stronger than her. From this moment onwards, Lin Yi had already treated her as a true senior, a senior whom he could entrust his back to.
"You're really an extraordinary person." Liu Ziyu could not help but smile. Then, she changed the topic and said, "The final step of your plan just now should have been for Zhuang Yifan to kill Chang Minggui, right?"
"That's right. Unfortunately, it was all for naught." Lin Yi smiled bitterly, feeling a little dispirited. From luring the enemy to setting up the formation, everything had progressed perfectly. However, it was clear that it was not enough to kill Chang Minggui. Whether this plan could succeed or not depended on the final step. It all depended on whether Zhuang Yifan would make a move in time!
Actually, everything that Lin Yi had planned before was for Zhuang Yifan to make a move. Even the location of the ambush was not randomly chosen. It could not be too far from the Alliance branch, as that would be beyond the range of Zhuang Yifan's divine sense. However, it could not be too close to the Alliance branch, as that would prevent Chang Minggui from giving up on the chase. Only the location that he had chosen was just right.
Logically speaking, with Chang Minggui and Liu Ziyu fighting at the ambush point for so long, the commotion should have been world-shaking, so it was impossible for the Alliance branch to not notice it at all. Unfortunately, Zhuang Yifan still arrived late, allowing Chang Minggui to escape.
"After all, Zhuang Yifan is no ordinary person. It won't be easy to use him to kill someone." Liu Ziyu also felt that it was a pity. Although the reason that Zhuang Yifan gave was reasonable, both she and Lin Yi did not think that he would be so slow. If they guessed correctly, Zhuang Yifan must have done it on purpose.
"Yes, I thought that a person of power like him would put profit first, and would most likely take this opportunity to take down Chang Minggui and take control of Cauldron City. I didn't think that he would be unmoved. It is really hard to guess the thoughts of such a big shot." Lin Yi sighed.
In his opinion, the alchemy ability that he had displayed before was enough for Zhuang Yifan to try his best to rope him in, especially when he had leaked the news that he was trying to break through to Mystic Second Level Alchemist. If he was in Zhuang Yifan's shoes, he would definitely take this opportunity to take down Chang Minggui and take control of Cauldron City. At the same time, he would be moved to tears. This was killing two birds with one stone. How could Zhuang Yifan not take it?
What he didn't know was that he had been tricked by himself. If he was just a Mystic First Level Alchemist, Zhuang Yifan might have really made a move. However, he was now a Mystic Second Level Alchemist in name, which made Zhuang Yifan give up on the idea.
A future Mystic Second Level Alchemist, with Zhuang Yifan's current strength, was bound to him no matter what. If he wanted to have a closer relationship with Lin Yi, he obviously couldn't be the only one asking for help from Lin Yi. Conversely, Zhuang Yifan had to have something to ask of him as well. Both of them had value to each other. Only with this kind of benefit could their relationship be stable.
That was why he purposely left Chang Minggui as a threat to Lin Yi. This was, in a sense, raising a bandit to strengthen himself. As long as Chang Minggui appeared once, his position in Lin Yi's heart would increase. The bottom line was that Lin Yi didn't die. This was a profitable business.
"Zhuang Yifan is a very shrewd person. You should be more careful when dealing with him in the future. Although you're a Mystic First Level Alchemist, the difference in strength between you and him is too great. It's easy to get into trouble." Liu Ziyu reminded him, then shook her head and sighed. "It's a pity that we let Chang Minggui escape this time. Although he's also injured and should stop for a while, when he makes a comeback next time, it won't be so easy to deal with him."
Lin Yi nodded in agreement. This time, the time and place were all on his side. Chang Minggui unknowingly stepped into a trap. It wouldn't be so easy next time. When the time came, the enemy would be in the dark while he was in the light. Lin Yi wouldn't even have the chance to prepare in advance, let alone set up a trap for him.
"I'm actually fine here. I don't plan on staying in the East Continent. I'll be fine as long as I return to the north island." Lin Yi shook his head nonchalantly, then said worriedly, "I'm more worried about you, Aunt Liu. You've offended Chang Minggui this time. He definitely won't let this go."
Lin Yi could just leave, but Liu Ziyu, as the Vice Headmaster of Morning Pride Academy, obviously couldn't do so. Although she was a mid stage Mountain Opening expert, she was still a distance away from Chang Minggui. With Chang Minggui's vengeful personality, he wouldn't let her go.
"You don't have to worry about this. With my strength, even if I can't beat him, protecting myself won't be a problem. If he dares to come to my Morning Pride Academy's territory and behave atrociously, even if I don't die, I'll still skin him alive. Does he really think that my Morning Pride Academy is easy to bully?" Liu Ziyu said disapprovingly.
Hearing that, Lin Yi heaved a sigh of relief. He had just been thinking about whether he should call Liu Ziyu to go to the north island to lie low for a while. In any case, she and Shanghai Tianhua were old acquaintances, so he could just treat it as a visit to an old friend's house. However, since Liu Ziyu had already expressed her stance, there was no need for him to do anything unnecessary.
After all, he was a big shot of a region. Even if his strength was inferior, with Liu Ziyu's personality, she really wouldn't be afraid of him. Who knew, it might even become a motivation for her to advance to the next level.
"Alright, your healing True Qi is quite useful. This bit of injury of mine is more or less healed." Liu Ziyu clicked her tongue in wonder, indicating for Lin Yi to retract his True Qi as she stood up and said, "Your injuries aren't light either. Hurry up and heal yourself. Don't worry about me."
After saying that, without waiting for Lin Yi to speak, Liu Ziyu left the room by herself, leaving Lin Yi alone to continue healing.
