And it was certain that Duan Muyu's feelings for him were not purely brotherly. Otherwise, there would not be such a unique treatment just now.
With Lin Yi's character, since he found out that they both liked each other, and now that he suddenly learned that Duan Muyu was forced to marry someone else, he would feel very uncomfortable if he just stood by and did nothing to stop it.
But the problem was that Duan Muyu's action was a hint, but she didn't say it out loud.
She didn't say anything, which in itself might represent her attitude. The subtext was that she did like Lin Yi, but she decided to accept her fate …
In this way, even if Lin Yi wanted to stop it, it would be very difficult. What reason could he use to stop it, and what identity could he use to stop it?
Lin Yi fell into silence for a while. Bing Wuqing saw this, but unfortunately, others couldn't help in this kind of thing. As for Ling Tianyou, he still didn't realize it.
Seeing that Lin Yi didn't speak for a long time, Ling Tianyou thought he was a little drunk. After all, the wine he brought had a lingering effect, and it was easy for people who drank it for the first time to drink too much. He immediately suggested, "It's getting late, and there's an inn nearby that belongs to my Thousand Blades Sect. Why don't you two rest for a night, and I'll take you to a good place tomorrow morning?"
"That's good." At this time, Lin Yi's mind was not on this at all. Anyway, he was going to walk around Middle Island during this period of time, so he could do whatever the other party said.
After tossing and turning all night, the next morning, Ling Tianyou woke up Lin Yi with a mysterious look, but he didn't speak directly. Instead, he looked at Bing Wuqing, as if he wanted to say something.
He took Lin Yi to this good place to repay his kindness, but Bing Wuqing was different. He had nothing to do with Bing Wuqing. Although they were not enemies, they were not friends either, so he was in a difficult position.
If it had been anyone else, they would have tactfully taken the initiative to avoid arousing suspicion. However, Bing Wuqing was completely indifferent to this. With her strength and temperament, she would never act according to other people's intentions, unless Lin Yi said so.
"Wuqing is one of us. Wherever I can go, he can go. Of course, if Brother Ling feels that it's inconvenient to bring two people at once, then forget it," Lin Yi said.
Upon hearing this, Bing Wuqing didn't say anything, but the way she looked at Lin Yi warmed. Even though he always looked cold and indifferent, his heart was still made of flesh. He didn't care about ordinary people, but Boss Lin Yi's approval was still very important to him.
Ling Tianyou was a little embarrassed, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, let's go together."
The three of them immediately stepped onto the flying spirit beast, and they flew for two days and two nights. Their destination was not the middle island that Lin Yi thought, but an isolated island in the south. Even Bing Wuqing, a native of the ancient martial world, didn't know about its location.
"This good place that you mentioned is really mysterious. What are we doing here?" Lin Yi and Bing Wuqing looked at each other, their eyes full of doubt. With their strength, they didn't need to be afraid of anything, but this place was really a little mysterious.
"Hehe, don't be impatient. You'll know when we get there." Ling Tianyou smiled mysteriously.
This island wasn't big, but the terrain was extremely long and narrow. Looking from above, it looked like a giant half-coiled snake. Ling Tianyou led the two to land at the tail of the snake, which was at the lowest point of the terrain. Not only the three of them, but there were also people rushing over in twos and threes from other directions. Whether by tacit agreement or by rule, everyone landed in the same open space.
After landing, these people didn't act on their own, but gathered together. They seemed to be extremely vigilant toward each other, and even had obvious hostility toward each other. It was just that no one wanted to stir up trouble.
Lin Yi glanced around and found that these people were very careful. Even if they were in the same trade, they wouldn't talk to each other easily. Even if they did talk, they would set up a sound-isolating formation beforehand, so no one could hear what they were saying.
Of course, with Lin Yi's strength, it wouldn't be difficult for him to eavesdrop on these people's conversations if he really wanted to. After all, the strongest among them were only at the Golden Core stage, and the weakest were only at the Foundation Establishment stage. But the weakest were at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
But with Ling Tianyou standing beside him, Lin Yi didn't need to do anything unnecessary, and just asked directly.
"Can you tell me now? What's going on?" Lin Yi turned his head and asked.
"Actually, even if I don't say it, I think Brother Lin and Brother Bing can roughly guess what's going on. We are here to participate in a secret trial. This place is one of the most secretive islands in the entire Ancient Underworld, Tai Snake Island," Ling Tianyou finally explained.
"The legendary Tai Snake Island?" Lin Yi didn't say anything, but Bing Wuqing was slightly stunned when she heard this word. Although she had no idea about this place, she had heard of Tai Snake Island.
"That's right. It is said that this Tai Snake Island was formed from the body of an ancient vicious beast, Tai Snake. Therefore, when you look at it from a bird's eye view, it is in the shape of a giant snake. In the entire ancient Jianghu, there are many who have heard of this place, but those who know its exact location are few and far between."
Lin Yi was planning to learn more about it, when a middle-aged man in black came from afar. He was wearing a typical butler's uniform. Everywhere he passed, the people around him uncharacteristically took the initiative to greet him with a smile. It seemed that his background was not small.
"Young Master Ling, we meet again." The middle-aged man in black quickly came in front of the three and took the initiative to greet Ling Tianyou.
"Yes, it's been three years. How have you been, Steward Yu?" Ling Tianyou also smiled and nodded.
"It seems that this is your first time here. How should I address you, Steward Yu?" The middle-aged man in black turned to look at Lin Yi and Bing Wuqing.
"Let me introduce you. This is the Grand Master Lin Yi of the Blue Cloud Sect of the North Island, and this is Bing Wuqing of the Snow Sword Sect. I brought them here." Ling Tianyou took the initiative to introduce them. He pointed at the black-robed man and said, "This is the steward in charge of Tai Snake Island, Steward Yu. His seniority in the Archaic Alliance is one of the best. It's just that few outsiders know about him."
"Nice to meet you." Steward Yu nodded slightly at Lin Yi and Bing Wuqing, not showing any surprised expression. Of course, this was because Lin Yi and Bing Wuqing had habitually restrained their aura. Otherwise, if he really knew that there was a Nascent Soul old monster standing in front of him, he would not be so calm, unless he was the Nascent Soul old monster.
