Even if there was no way to rope them in directly, they should at least build a good relationship with them and not become enemies. Otherwise, it would be a huge joke if Lin Yi were to publicize their sect's counter moves in a fit of anger.
Lin Yi soon realized what everyone was thinking. Although he never intended to make a fuss about this, it was not a bad thing.
"Since the result is out, let's call it a day. Leng Leng and Duanmu Yu, both of you can focus on recuperating. Don't leave any sequelae," Xin Yijie said immediately.
"Hold on, I think this voting is unfair, so it should not be counted." Xue Jianfeng jumped out to object again.
"Oh? Everyone voted on the spot without any chance to contact each other secretly. I would like to ask, how is it unfair? "Xin Yijie frowned.
"I think with the level of these voters, not all of them can understand the meaning of this duel. How can the result be counted if a group of people who can't even understand the meaning of the duel be the judges? To ensure the fairness of the result, I suggest we follow the tradition of the Archaic Alliance and let the Golden Core experts vote, "Xue Jianfeng said unscrupulously.
As soon as he said that, everyone's face darkened. How could he say that their level was not high enough? Wasn't this guy looking down on them too much?!
However, Xue Jianfeng's words were not baseless. In the past, every competition in the Archaic Alliance was indeed judged by the Golden Core experts. Only they had enough vision to understand the whole meaning of the duel between Foundation Establishment disciples. Otherwise, as Xue Jianfeng said, ordinary Foundation Establishment Perfected experts might not be able to understand what Leng Leng and Duanmu Yu had done.
However, if it was really decided by the Golden Core experts, he, Bing Wuqing, and Xin Yijie were the only three people present. As long as there were no accidents, Bing Wuqing would definitely be on his side. Wouldn't it be up to him to decide?
"You're being unreasonable. Even if the Golden Core experts were to be the judges, they must be from different sects. Who is qualified to do that now?" Xin Yijie refuted on the spot and then said decisively, "It's hard to go against the will of the masses. I announce the winner of this duel is …"
At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly interrupted, "Since both sides are equally matched, how about we call it a draw?
"A draw?" Xin Yijie was stunned and said awkwardly, "But there has never been a tie. Moreover, this match is directly related to the qualification to participate in the Archean Trial …"
"Can't they both qualify for the trial at the same time? Although this is a bit of an exception, special cases are special cases. I don't think the higher-ups of the Archaic Alliance would be so unreasonable. After all, these are two rare geniuses. It would be a pity if one of them was eliminated, "said Lin Yi.
Originally, whether Duanmu Yu qualified for the Archean Trial or not had nothing to do with him. However, after watching this duel, this woman's determination really moved him. Moreover, Lin Yi was also very interested in the Rejuvenation of Withered Leaves. There was no mention of this move in the summary of the mental cultivation methods sent by Tian Chan. Therefore, he might as well do her a favor. Maybe he could find a chance to get some words out of her in the future.
Xin Yijie pondered for a moment and finally nodded, "Yes, Grand Uncle-Master is right. Rules are dead and people are alive. For this duel, Duanmu Yu even used the Rejuvenation of Withered Leaves. It would be too unreasonable to force her to lose. Since that's the case, I'll declare it a draw!"
Nobody objected to this result. Firstly, it was to do Lin Yi a favor. Secondly, the result did not affect them at all. At most, Duanmu Yu qualified for the trial. Moreover, Duanmu Yu had just used the Rejuvenation of Withered Leaves. It would be impossible for her to recover within three months. Even if she qualified for the trial, it would only be symbolic.
"Wait!" Xue Jianfeng jumped out again and interrupted.
"What do you want?" Xin Yijie, the honest man, finally got angry after being interrupted by this guy several times. He said with an unfriendly expression, "According to the results of the voting, Coold won. Announcing it as a draw is already very considerate of you. Xue Jianfeng, don't push your luck!"
"This …" Xue Jianfeng choked for a moment. At this moment, he actually felt a substantial killing intent from the other party for the first time. An honest man was really scary when he was angry.
After choking for a moment, Xue Jianfeng finally chose to shut his mouth. Now, not only the honest man, Xin Yijie, was angry, but everyone else was also staring at him with an unfriendly expression. If this went on, he would completely offend the crowd. It was unnecessary just for such a small matter.
In this way, the opening battle of the fifth round of the trial competition ended in a draw. Coold and Duanmu Yu qualified for the Archean Trial at the same time.
Duanmu Yu panted weakly as she forced herself to lift her head to look at Lin Yi, "Thank you …"
She knew very well that if it was not for Lin Yi's insistence, Coold would have definitely won this battle. If that happened, she would be eliminated on the spot. Losing the qualification for the trial was a small matter, but it would affect the reputation of Ye Ling Sect. That was why she was grateful.
"You're welcome." Lin Yi said as he looked at her. Not only was she very weak, but she also suffered from severe frostbite due to the intense battle with Coold. She was too close to Coold when the Ice Prison Mirror was broken. He said, "If you don't mind, how about I help you to heal your wound? I think it's hard for you to recover on your own in your current state, right?"
"But …" Duanmu Yu was a little hesitant. She was now in a weak state where the vital energy in her body was very weak. She did not know how long it would take for her to completely recover on her own. Moreover, the degree of frostbite from the Ice Prison Mirror was not something that could be recovered easily unless there was a special medicinal pill in this area.
"I'm going to heal Coold anyway. If you don't mind, you can come along. It's no trouble at all." Lin Yi smiled.
Duanmu Yu hesitated for a moment and finally nodded, "Alright, thank you."
With her status and background in Ye Ling Sect, the sect's higher-ups would definitely think of a way if she made a request. However, it was a problem whether she could take the medicinal pill in her current state. If she was not careful, the life-saving medicinal pill might turn into a fatal poison instead. Instead of that, it was better to take the risk and trust Lin Yi for once.
