Lin Yi lifted his head to take a look, then walked in the direction of the snake's head. Bing Wuqing followed closely behind, but the two of them stopped after a few steps. She turned to look at Chu Tianlu, who was following behind, and asked, "Why are you following us?"
They had never met each other before. Although Lin Yi and Bing Wuqing had saved him before, it was just a side effect. They had never really wanted the other party to repay their kindness, nor would they take his words seriously. To be precise, they would never think about it at all.
It was not strange for Chu Tianlu to follow them before. After all, he had to come out of the cave eventually. But it was a little unreasonable for him to still follow them at this time.
"Do you want to try your luck again? Look for the Divine Knowledge Fruit in other places? "Lin Yi asked.
"No, the Divine Knowledge Fruit contains the essence of the Tai Snake Clan. It will only grow one for a period of time, and there won't be a second one." Chu Tianlu shook his head. He had done a lot of research on this matter, so he was quite clear about it.
"Then what do you mean?" Bing Wuqing's face instantly darkened. With her rational and pragmatic style, she would not allow such a guy to follow her. She had no intention of attacking an irrelevant person like Chu Tianlu, but if he got in her way, she would absolutely not hesitate.
"That …" Facing the doubtful gazes of the two, Chu Tianlu found it a little difficult to speak. In the end, he braced himself and confessed, "I don't want to be separated from you two brothers. Otherwise, if I go out alone and meet Chu Tianliang on the way, I will definitely die. He won't let me go, and maybe he will find other helpers …"
These words sounded a little insatiable, but Chu Tianlu had no choice. If he was in his normal state, there would naturally be no problem for him to deal with Chu Tianliang, but now that he was seriously injured and had lost an arm, once he encountered Chu Tianliang at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment Stage, he would definitely be in danger.
Although Chu Tianliang had escaped before, Chu Tianlu was almost certain that he would definitely not leave Tai Snake Island so easily. Now that they had shed all pretense of cordiality, this was his only chance to get rid of him. Otherwise, by the time he returned to the middle island, everything would be too late. Thus, Chu Tianliang would definitely think of a way to lie in ambush and look for a final opportunity. If he rashly left, it would be extremely easy for him to fall into the other party's trap.
Moreover, if he didn't directly leave, it would still be extremely dangerous for him to wander around Tai Snake Island in his current state. Thus, without any other choice, Chu Tianlu could only thicken his face and come up with this plan. Only by following closely behind Lin Yi and Ling Yun would he be able to find a path of survival.
"You're quite honest." Bing Wuqing said. She didn't show any signs of annoyance or admiration. In her eyes, Chu Tianlu was just an insignificant passerby. That was all.
When Lin Yi heard this, a strange expression appeared on his face. He suddenly grinned playfully and said, "How do you know that I won't kill you?"
"Huh?" Chu Tianlu was instantly dumbfounded. He was so stunned that he couldn't speak. Although the two of them didn't have any friendship with him, their previous experiences had indeed saved his life. Normal people wouldn't think of them as enemies. Otherwise, why would he be so thick-skinned as to "take a yard after being given an inch"?
Chu Tianlu wasn't the only one who heard this. Even Bing Wuqing was a little dumbfounded. She thought about the other party's identity, then looked at Lin Yi's half-smiling expression, and then came to a sudden realization.
"Why … Why do you want to kill me?" Chu Tianlu was still in a daze.
"You tell him." Lin Yi gestured at Bing Wuqing with his lips.
"You're a descendant of the Chu clan, right? It looks like you're an outstanding talent of the younger generation. It's very likely that you'll be the one to form a marriage alliance with the Ye Ling Sect." Bing Wuqing's speculations were all on point. She then said, "Do you know who Duan Muyu from the Ye Ling Sect is?"
"Wh … Who is she?" Chu Tianlu asked.
"She's my boss's woman." Lin Yi and Duan Muyu only had vague feelings for each other. Neither of them had made it clear, but Bing Wuqing's words directly confirmed their status.
"Cough, cough, cough! What? " Chu Tianlu was so shocked that his jaw dropped. He was in a daze for a long time before he came to his senses. He asked doubtfully, "Uh … Is this true?"
"Do you think I have the spare time to lie to you?" Bing Wuqing curled her lips. He was a dignified expert at the peak of the early Nascent Soul realm. According to the rules of the Immemorial Martial World, it was difficult for someone like Chu Tianlu to even meet him, let alone talk nonsense like this.
"…" Chu Tianlu could only smile bitterly and speechlessly. For him, this trip to Tai She Island was inseparable from Duan Muyu. He didn't even greet her before, but he almost died because of her. He was saved by Lin Yi and Chu Tianliang. He thought that he was lucky to have met a good person, but he didn't expect that it was actually related to her. This was really a coincidence.
After being embarrassed for a long time, Chu Tianlu didn't know what to say. Although he had already said to Chu Tianliang that he had never thought about the marriage alliance, his only thought now was to cultivate without being disturbed. The problem was that even if Chu Tianliang didn't believe him, would Lin Yi believe him?
Duan Muyu was Lin Yi's woman, and he, Chu Tianlu, was an outstanding talent of the Chu family's younger generation. No matter what he thought, objectively speaking, he was indeed the most likely candidate for marriage alliance. To some extent, they were likely to be rivals in love in the future. It seemed logical for Lin Yi to kill him here to eliminate future troubles.
He was both embarrassed and afraid. Chu Tianlu could only smile bitterly. Since his life was saved by the other party, there was nothing wrong with returning it to the other party. He could only say that his fate was as such.
And with this potential relationship, even if Lin Yi didn't kill him, he couldn't shamelessly follow Lin Yi and Chu Tianliang anymore. He knew that Chu Tianliang was eyeing him covetously. In his current state, the chances of him leaving Tai She Island alone were really slim.
Seeing Chu Tianlu's expression change, Lin Yi couldn't help but find it funny. After a while, he said, "I'm just joking with you. If I wanted to kill you, I would've done so long ago. Why would I keep you alive until now?"
"Many thanks …" It wasn't convenient for him to cup his hands, so Chu Tianlu hurriedly bowed again. In fact, he had already thought of this. He just didn't know what he should do because he was confused about the road ahead.
Although he was confused, Chu Tianlu felt that if he stood in the other party's position, they would definitely not be willing to let him follow. He immediately prepared to leave with a downcast expression. At this time, he suddenly heard Lin Yi say, "If you want to follow us, that's fine. However, we're going to meet up with a friend. It's very likely that the road ahead will be extremely dangerous. Aren't you afraid?"
