"Kill who?"
Qin Yi frowned slightly. He hadn't expected Lin Dongpeng to ask him to kill someone right off the bat.
Lin Dongpeng's gaze was very serious, and the killing intent on his face never faded. "An elder of House Donglin."
If Lin Dongpeng's request for Qin Yi to kill someone had only surprised Qin Yi, then Qin Yi's astonishment was even greater.
From what he'd seen on Mount Dragon-Gazing, Lin Dongpeng was a very friendly fellow. He'd even sacrificed his own life to save the heavily injured Steward Long.
They were both from the same family, and the other was an elder. Yet Lin Dongpeng had unhesitatingly asked to kill the man.
"Did this elder do something to betray House Donglin?"
Qin Yi thought to himself, but didn't voice his question.
He'd gained Lin Dongpeng's approval, but judging from Lin Dongpeng's behavior, the man hadn't fully accepted him.
What he needed to do now was help Lin Dongpeng kill the target. As for what kind of inside story there was, he couldn't ask too much. Otherwise, it would only make Lin Dongpeng more suspicious of him.
Thinking of this, he asked directly, "Which elder?"
Lin Dongpeng said: "Eighth Elder. I've collected some information about him over the past few days. I hope it'll be useful to you. "
After saying that, he took out a jade slip and handed it to Qin Yi. "As long as you complete this task, I can propose to my father to give you a spot in the Grand Competition." Qin Yi's eyes lit up as he looked at the jade slip.
Qin Yi accepted the jade slip, but didn't read it right away. Then, he bid farewell to Lin Dongpeng and left the courtyard.
He closed the door after returning to his room and took out the jade slip.
"I didn't think I'd become someone's tool after coming to the Snow Willow Region."
Qin Yi laughed self-deprecatingly. "But it can't be helped! For my sister and Jiang Xinyue, I will do whatever you ask me to do! "
Thinking of this, Qin Yi's Spiritual Consciousness finally immersed into the jade strip and began to read the information inside.
After a while, he withdrew his Divine Sense and raised his head. "It looks like this Lin Dongpeng did not kill on a whim. Instead, he made ample preparations."
The jade slip had already explained everything related to the Eighth Elder.
The eighth elder's name was Lin Jing, Lin Dongpeng's uncle. His cultivation was at the sixth level of the Dao Palace realm. In the family clan, such a cultivation was not considered top-notch. Therefore, he could only take up a position that was neither light nor heavy in the family.
Although Lin Jing was a member of House Donglin, she didn't live with the family. Instead, she returned to her own home every day.
With Ling Jing's strength, it wasn't impossible for Qin Yi to defeat him. The most important thing was that he had two trusted subordinates who followed him around almost every day!
Both of them were at the Dao Palace realm. Together with Lin Jing himself, their battle prowess was not to be underestimated!
Moreover, Lin Jing had a perverse cultivation method of his own. After cultivating it, his movements became incredibly agile. Capturing him would not be an easy task.
"It looks like this First Sir Lin is giving me no leeway at all. He's given me a difficult task."
Qin Yi raised his head and smiled. Although he said so, he didn't have the slightest intention of retreating.
If he wanted to participate in the competition smoothly, there was no other path than the one before him.
"From the information in the jade slip, Lin Jing must have sensed that the family was going to make a move against him. Therefore, I've been very careful lately. It looks like I can't be in a hurry to kill him! "
With that in mind, Qin Yi decided to wait a few days.
Not only would he be able to gather more information during this time, but he would also be able to make the Eighth Elder lower his guard.
Of course, the most important thing was the injuries on Qin Yi's body!
Although he could move freely now, it did not mean that he had fully recovered.
His enemies were three powerful Fifth or Sixth Rank Dao Palace realm cultivators. He could not afford to be careless. Even if he felt the slightest discomfort, he had to resolve it first before taking action.
Furthermore, although he had broken through to the Second Rank Dao Palace realm, he had not completely stabilized his cultivation. Be it for the sake of killing his enemies or for his future cultivation, he had to stabilize his cultivation first!
As the saying went, sharpening the axe would not delay the work of cutting firewood. Since there were still seven to eight days left, Qin Yi was not in a hurry.
…
At the same time, in another corner of Five Forest City, in a grand mansion.
A young man had his head lowered indifferently as he looked at the three people kneeling in front of him.
If Qin Yi were present, he would definitely recognize these three people as Steward Bao and the others whom he had met at the Dragon Gazing Mountain.
At this moment, Steward Bao and the other two middle-aged men were kneeling on one knee with their heads lowered. It was as if someone was pressing down on their heads to prevent them from raising their heads.
The atmosphere was extremely stifling. The air seemed to have frozen, making it difficult for one to breathe.
After a long time, the young man sitting in the main seat finally spoke, "Steward Bao, can you tell me how many days have passed since the ambush at the Dragon Gazing Mountain?"
Sweat appeared on Steward Bao's forehead, but he did not dare to wipe it away. He quickly said, "Seven … seven days."
"So, seven days have passed."
The young man slowly raised his head. His expression instantly turned cold as he suddenly berated, "Seven days ago, you came back and told me that one of the targets had disappeared into the forest. You asked me to give you time to find that monster. But now, seven days have passed. This young master has lost his patience! "
Steward Bao lowered his head even more and hurriedly said in a low voice, "Young Master, please give this subordinate a little more time. We have thousands of people searching the Dragon Gazing Mountain. We will definitely find the monster's voice soon!"
"Enough!"
Pa!
The young man shouted as he smashed the teacup beside him on the ground. "Thousands of people have been wasted on this. Steward Bao, do you think that this young master is easy to fool? Do you think that I can divert your attention and escape from the crime of letting Lin Dongpeng escape under your nose? "
Steward Bao's body trembled. Even though the young man's strength was far inferior to his, he still felt an inexplicable sense of fear when facing him!
