Any normal person would be deeply grateful, and the two of them were no exception.
"It's nothing. It's nothing." Lin Yi waved his hand calmly. He didn't take their gratitude seriously, and didn't take it to heart.
Lin Yi now had a rather unique view of people. The two of them, especially Bai Jingze, were too greedy and had a bad character. As for Zhang Qingfeng, after being completely tricked by the other party, he was still in cahoots with them. It was clear that he had a gloomy mind, and neither of them was a good person. Therefore, their cheap gratefulness was meaningless.
Seeing Lin Yi's cold expression, the two of them exchanged a look with Chu Tianlu. Without saying anything more, they sat down to rest.
"Let's go." Lin Yi called out to Bing Wuqing and Chu Tianlu. Obviously, he didn't want Bai Jingze and Zhang Qingfeng to follow them anymore. They didn't have much to do with each other in the first place. Moreover, with their bad character, not only would they not be of any help, they would only ruin things. What was the point of bringing them along?
In the end, as soon as he finished speaking, Bai Jingze and Zhang Qingfeng immediately struggled to stand up. Tai Snake Island was full of danger. If they stayed alone in their current state, the consequences could be imagined. In their opinion, since Lin Yi was willing to save them twice, it meant that he was most likely a good person. As long as they were thick-skinned and followed him closely, they probably wouldn't turn against him.
Compared to their lives, what was a mere sense of shame?
Bing Wuqing could not help but frown when she saw that. In her opinion, a heavily injured Chu Tianlu was already a burden enough. That was fine. After all, Chu Tianlu was actually a pretty good person. At least, he was not annoying to look at. However, Bai Jingze and Zhang Qingfeng were different. Judging from their previous suicidal actions, if it had not been for Lin Yi's generosity, Bing Wuqing would have been turned into two human-shaped ice sculptures long ago. Yet, they still had the audacity to play petty tricks at a time like this. They had gone too far!
When Chu Tianlu saw this, his heart immediately thumped. At this moment, he was very embarrassed and put in a difficult situation. After thinking for a bit, he hurriedly stood out to smooth things over. "Brother Baize, Brother Qingfeng, the two of you are both heavily injured right now. Why don't you just find a hidden and safe place to properly recuperate? After two days, I'll come back here to rendezvous with the two of you. How about we go out together?"
This was the best solution he could think of. He couldn't just ignore his two friends, but he couldn't keep causing trouble for Lin Yi. This was the only way he could come up with. It was still a little dangerous for Bai Jingze and Zhang Qingfeng, but it was much safer than running around with injuries all over their bodies. They just had to be more alert, that's all.
"What about you?" Bai Jingze asked despite knowing the answer.
"I …" Chu Tianlu scratched his head. Logically speaking, if he knew that he would only be a burden to others, with his temperament, he would definitely stay behind with Bai Jingze and Zhang Qingfeng. The more they supported each other, the safer they would be. However, he made a promise to Lin Yi before. Before fulfilling his promise, he could only continue following Lin Yi.
"Brother Tianlu, could it be that you're going with them to do something big?" Bai Jingze's question was rather incisive. If there wasn't anything important, he could conveniently ask Chu Tianlu to stay behind and drag him down with him. However, if there really was something important, he could continue to ask a few more questions. Perhaps he could find an opportunity.
Zhang Qingfeng didn't say anything, but the same question could be seen from his face. He was waiting for Chu Tianlu's reply.
When Lin Yi saw this scene, he shook his head. Chu Tianlu was truly the one who met the wrong people. He was clearly a man who valued loyalty above all else, yet the people he made friends with were all gloomy and scheming fellows. Who knew how many times he had suffered in the past, both openly and secretly.
"It can't really be considered a big deal. It's just that I made a promise to Brother Lin yesterday. I want to uncover a secret of Tai Snake Island that I previously discovered as a small repayment for saving my life," Chu Tianlu said truthfully.
"Tai Snake Island secret? What secret? " The two hurriedly asked. When they heard this word, their eyes lit up. Any secret in this kind of place basically involved heavenly treasures. Since Chu Tianlu said it so seriously, it showed that this secret was absolutely not simple. Even if it couldn't compare to the most iconic spiritual knowledge fruit of Tai Snake Island, the level of the secret would not be too far off.
"This …" Chu Tianlu wasn't really stupid. Since it was a secret, he wouldn't easily reveal it to others. Although with his loyal character, he wouldn't hide anything from his friends, the problem now was that he had already promised to Lin Yi. If he revealed it to Bai Jingze and Zhang Qingfeng, what would Lin Yi think?
"Tianlu, you don't have to feel embarrassed. We're just asking casually. Don't take it to heart." Zhang Qingfeng was very understanding when he saw this.
Hypocrite! Bai Jingze cursed in his heart. Based on his understanding of Zhang Qingfeng, he was a hundred percent sure that this guy was just putting on an act. His true thoughts were absolutely the same as his own. He wanted to dig out the secret of the Supreme Snake Island and take it for himself!
Although he was cursing in his heart, on the surface, Bai Jingze also echoed, "Yes, yes. We've been good brothers and friends for so many years. How could we make things difficult for you, Tianlu, because of this? You really don't need to think too much about it."
When the two said this, Chu Tianlu was immediately moved. He said, "Thank you for your understanding, but I only happened to read about this secret in an ancient book. It hasn't been verified yet, so I don't want to casually say it. If it's just a baseless rumor, wouldn't that be embarrassing?"
"Since it's recorded in an ancient book, how can it be a rumor?" Bai Jingze didn't give up and beat around the bush.
"Because what it says is vague, and there are no other ancient records to support it, I haven't heard any rumors or rumors in this regard, so I don't think it's very credible." Chu Tianlu's expression was serious, as if he was recalling what he had read in an ancient book. If it was proven to be a rumor in the end, he really wouldn't have the face to face Lin Yi.
"What kind of rumor is it exactly?" Zhang Qingfeng asked.
"According to the ancient book I read, since Tai Snake Island was formed from the Ancient Tai Snake, it has a snake head, a snake body, and a snake tail on the surface, so it must have a very important place, which is its snake abdomen. The true essence of Tai Snake Island is suppressed in the snake abdomen, which is the source of all Spiritual Knowledge Fruits, the Spiritual Knowledge Fruit's Heart!" When Chu Tianlu said this, he unconsciously became a little excited. This wasn't strange. If all this was true, normal people would be excited to hear it.
