Qin Yi had predicted that Lin Yangcheng would at least send out a large number of assassins and even stronger cultivators to take his life!
However, he hadn't expected them to send so few people.
Was Lin Yangcheng too conceited, or had he underestimated Donglin Manor's ability to defend against invaders?
Truth be told, Qin Yi still didn't quite understand.
Perhaps Lin Yangcheng was certain that Steward Duan would detonate his spirit to take Qin Yi and the others down with him, which was why he'd trusted Steward Bao with the task. Alas, he'd underestimated how much the steward cherished his life.
Now that the matter had come to an end, it was time for Qin Yi and the others to counterattack.
"Little Qin, there's something I'd like you to enlighten me on."
Lin Xiao walked up to Qin Yi's side and stared at Qin Yi with bright, piercing eyes. "What's the origin of the flame you used later?"
Qin Yi's heart sank. Lin Xiao's curiosity had been piqued after all. He laughed bitterly and said, "To tell you the truth, this flame is a fortuitous encounter I obtained in my sect. As for its origin, I don't know either. "
Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked at Qin Yi, obviously considering the credibility of Qin Yi's words.
After a long while, the light in his eyes receded and he nodded slightly. "I have to say, this is a good item! It seems that Little Qin has been holding back on us all this time. I can't believe you've waited until such a critical moment to use it. "
Qin Yi laughed heartily. "Don't flaunt your wealth. That's Qin Mo's rule in the outside world. No matter who it is, I, Qin, won't expose everything. I hope House Head Lin can forgive me! "
Lin Xiao shook his head. "It's understandable that Little Qin held back. I won't blame you for that. This is your own opportunity. I don't think anyone can take it away from you. Since Little You Qin has shown it today, there's no need to hide it in the future. "
Qin Yi frowned and said, "Patriarch, you mean … Qin Mo can use this thing in the tournament?"
Lin Xiao smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you should have used it in the Grand Tournament, right? Although it wasn't as impressive as it was now, it was still used! I think there will be people who covet it, but they won't dare to snatch it so brazenly! Since this mysterious flame is so powerful, I'm sure it will increase your battle prowess significantly! "
"Then …"
"Little Qin, don't worry!"
Lin Xiao laughed and said, "With me, Lin Xiao, keeping watch, no one in Five Forest City will dare to cause trouble for you! Even if you leave this place in the future, I think it's not necessarily a bad thing for your treasures to be coveted by others. "
Qin Yi thought for a moment. "You're right, Patriarch."
It was dangerous to be coveted by others, but he had to be strong if he wanted to protect what he had. Perhaps, from another point of view, this was also a good way to motivate himself!
"Qin Mo understands. Thank you for your guidance, Patriarch!"
Qin Yi cupped his hands in a salute and bowed deeply to Lin Xiao. To be honest, it was a wise decision to cooperate with House Donglin. It seemed that the information on the black market was a valuable reference!
Lin Xiao nodded slightly. "It's getting late, and I can see that you've suffered quite a few injuries. Go rest. In the following period of time, I will personally protect you and Peng 'er's safety! "
Qin Yi hastened to say, "Many thanks, Patriarch!"
With that, the crowd dispersed. Steward Bao's body was handed over to Lin Xiao. The corpses of the deathsworn were taken care of as well.
Even their corpses could be used as weapons to attack House Beilin!
Qin Yi didn't care about that. Other than the competition, he didn't care about anything else.
He turned back to the courtyard and returned to his room. Peace had finally returned to the outside world!
In fact, he'd already arranged for Qin Xiang and the others to live elsewhere the day before. He'd also asked Lin Xiao to help him set up a formation around their quarters to block out all activity outside.
If they knew that Qin Yi was using them as bait again, they'd be worried, even if they didn't stop him!
Moreover, they'd had a series of breakthroughs recently and needed time to stabilize their realms. For this reason, Qin Yi didn't even allow them to watch the all-important competition in Five Forests City!
Therefore, he had his reasons for putting them in another place!
After closing the door, Qin Yi didn't immediately begin healing his wounds. He took out his spoils of war this time, the Fan of Destruction.
This was a green fan. Its design wasn't particularly eye-catching. Other than being smaller than the average fan, it didn't have much of a special feature.
However, the surface of the fan was engraved with countless inscriptions that almost covered the entire handle. Moreover, through his Divine Sense, Qin Yi could also feel that inside this fan, there was already an initial appearance of a weapon spirit!
Qin Yi used his powerful divine sense to erase Steward Bao's divine sense imprint and branded it with his own divine sense imprint. Henceforth, this Annihilation Treasured Fan belonged to him.
"I've tasted the sweetness of the battle just now! The wind fuels the fire! I was right! "
The corner of Qin Yi's mouth curled up as he said contentedly, "With this Destruction Fan, the power of my Nirvana Realm will definitely increase! Perhaps, the current me does indeed have the qualifications to compete with a Dao Tribulation Realm martial artist! "
With that in mind, Qin Yi was filled with anticipation for the upcoming competition!
"That top genius from the Five Great Lin Families, I really want to meet you!"
As he spoke, Qin Yi's eyes blazed with the desire to fight!
… …
Two days of rest wasn't too long. However, for some people, these two days were indeed not too good!
If one had to pick out the most difficult person, it would be Lin Yangcheng!
The day after Steward Bao's failed assassination attempt, House Donglin's patriarch, Lin Xiao, had brought Steward Bao and the corpses of the deathsworn.
In the face of absolute evidence, Lin Yangcheng insisted that he had nothing to do with the matter, and that he had the protection of his father, but in the end, he couldn't avoid being dealt a heavy blow by House Donglin. He had to pay a vast amount of spirit stones as compensation!
