"Thank you for helping me out, Brother Zhuang. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have died today." Lin Yi cupped his hands in gratitude. He could still think of a way to trick Chang Minggui, but against someone like Chang Tianwen, even the most exquisite of schemes would be useless. Chang Tianwen could kill you with just a finger, so what was the use of schemes?
"Brother Lin, what are you talking about? With our relationship, do you think I'd just sit back and do nothing?" Zhuang Yifan waved his hand and sighed, "It's a pity that I can't help you take care of Chang Minggui today. Chang Tianwen is a late-stage Earth Creation expert, after all. Even if I could defeat him, I wouldn't dare to kill him. Otherwise, if he were to fight to the death, all of you would be in trouble. I can't take that risk."
"It's fine. I'm already very grateful that Brother Zhuang could help me survive today." Lin Yi smiled and shook his head. He was determined to leave the Eastern Continent as soon as possible. If Chang Minggui and Chang Tianwen made a comeback, none of the experts he knew would be able to stop them except for Zhuang Yifan. Even the Morning Star Three would be useless. Only by leaving the Eastern Continent would they be able to survive.
"Yes, but you don't have to worry too much. I've already sent word to Chang Tianwen. If he dares to touch you, I'll personally go to the Mystic Sea and fight him for another 300 rounds. I believe he won't do anything in the short term. However, it's hard to say for Chang Minggui. He's arrogant and unruly, and he suffered a great loss at your hands. I don't think he'll give up just like that. You have to be careful in the future," Zhuang Yifan reminded.
"Thank you, Brother Zhuang." Lin Yi nodded. At this time, Li Ren came to report that everything was ready, and they could set sail at any time. Lin Yi immediately bid farewell to Zhuang Yifan.
Zhuang Yifan had wanted to ask Lin Yi to stay for a few more days, but the situation was different now. Every day that Lin Yi stayed here meant that he would be in more danger when he returned in the future, so Zhuang Yifan did not urge him to stay.
Apart from that, Lin Yi had another matter to attend to, which was to bid farewell to Liu Ziyu and Huo Yudie. Although Zhuang Yifan had stepped forward to vouch for them, and the reconciliation between the Morning Star and Morning Pride Academies was already set in stone, the two of them could not just follow Lin Yi to the Morning Star Academy. Moreover, Liu Ziyu was the person in charge of the Morning Pride Academy's team, and could only return after all the disciples of the Morning Pride Academy had gathered.
However, according to Lin Yi's plan, after he returned to the Morning Star Academy to settle some matters, he would soon return to the Soaring Cloud Academy and the Morning Pride Academy before leaving the Eastern Continent. Therefore, it wouldn't be long before they met again, so he wouldn't be too reluctant to part with Huo Yudie.
Everything was ready. Under the gazes of Zhuang Yifan and the others, the Morning Star treasure ship slowly set sail amidst the low and melodious bugle call.
At the same time, on the back of the Ghost-eyed Golden Condor, Chang Minggui finally mustered up the courage to ask carefully, "Clan brother, did you fight with Zhuang Yifan?"
Chang Tianwen snorted, instantly angered at the mention of this matter. He pointed at Chang Minggui's nose and said angrily, "What did you say to me before? You said that Zhuang Yifan was injured, and that it was so serious that he had to use a Solid Earth Pill to stabilize his cultivation level. But when I fought with him just now, I found that he was in peak condition, and even stronger than before. How do you explain that?"
This time, he agreed to fight Zhuang Yifan on the condition that Zhuang Yifan was injured. Otherwise, he knew that he was no match for Zhuang Yifan, and he wouldn't have come all the way from the Mystic sea region to get beaten up. This time, he was completely tricked by Chang Minggui.
"Calm down, clan brother. I didn't think of this either. Zhuang Yifan tried every possible way to get my wife to help him refine the Solid Earth Pill. Who would have thought that the Lin brat was also a Mystic first rank alchemist? Zhuang Yifan already obtained the Solid Earth Pill from him, and his injuries suddenly healed …" Chang Minggui said weakly with his head drooped.
"Hmph, luckily this is his territory, and Zhuang Yifan was afraid that I would destroy his alliance branch. Otherwise, he would have been in deep trouble this time! You didn't even get such important information. You can't do anything right, but you're more than good at spoiling things! "Chang Tianwen glared at him with dissatisfaction.
"Calm down, clan brother. This time, it was indeed my fault. I've caused you trouble." Chang Minggui quickly apologized. Seeing that Chang Tianwen's expression had eased a little, he carefully said, "In the end, this time, it was Lin Yi's fault. If he didn't refine the Solid Earth Pill for Zhuang Yifan, how could Zhuang Yifan be your opponent?"
"Hmm, according to what you've said, that brat really is a talent. He's a Mystic first rank alchemist at such a young age, and he can even defeat a Mountain Opening Early Stage expert at the Mystic Ascendant Early Stage. This brat is extraordinary. If we don't nip him in the bud, you'll be in big trouble in the future!" Chang Tianwen nodded.
"Clan brother, you're right. That's why I don't think this matter can be dragged on. But it looks like that brat will return to Morning Star Academy soon. Should we chase after him and kill him?" Chang Minggui suggested.
"That's your own business. What are you talking to me about?" Chang Tianwen glanced at him, as if he had nothing to do with it.
"Ugh … I need you to help me with this. I can't handle it alone. Even though Morning Star Academy doesn't have a master like Zhuang Yifan, the three Morning Star leaders are not to be trifled with. I have no chance of winning against the three of them alone. I need you to suppress them. Otherwise, we can only watch that brat Lin Yi get away with it." Chang Minggui begged.
"If you can't even handle such a small matter, what use do you have?" Chang Tianwen looked at him and said in the same tone, "I can still help you deal with Zhuang Yifan. He's an Earth Opening Late Stage expert after all. You want me to lower myself to deal with a Mystic Ascendant Early Stage brat? Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? You may be shameless, but I'm not! "
"But …" Chang Minggui wanted to argue. After all, he didn't have the confidence to face the three Morning Star leaders alone no matter how arrogant he was.
"No buts. This matter ends here. As for whether or not you can kill that Lin Yi, that's your own business. It has nothing to do with me. Do you understand what I mean?" Chang Tianwen frowned.
Chang Minggui choked for a moment, then finally nodded. Since Chang Tianwen was determined not to help him deal with Lin Yi, he could only rely on himself. No matter what, he had to find an opportunity to try. Otherwise, he would not be satisfied.
Three days later, Lin Yi and the others returned to Morning Star Academy without any incident. Ling Yuanqing led the higher-ups of the academy to put on the grandest display to welcome them. Among them, Lin Yi was undoubtedly the protagonist.
