Glancing at Lin Xian who was smiling at him, Qin Yi frowned slightly.
At that moment, he said, "This Qin is only a servant. This kind of matter isn't up to this Qin to decide. If Patriarch Lin finds this troublesome, feel free to discuss it with my patriarch! "
Lin Xian immediately felt that the young man in front of him was extremely talented, skillful, and cool-headed. He didn't take any credit for himself at all. He was a rare talent indeed.
To be honest, when he'd asked the question, he'd hoped to sow discord between Qin Yi and House Donglin.
After all, a talent like this wouldn't be any less accomplished than Lin Juezong in the future.
Although the five great houses shared the same origin, there was still competition between them.
Even though the Zhonglin Clan had become the strongest clan among the five great clans, Lin Xian, as the head of the Zhonglin Clan, still had to maintain a high level of vigilance. If one didn't plan for the future, there would be immediate worries. If this young man really did tie himself firmly to House Donglin, then House Donglin would very likely surpass them in the future!
Therefore, as the patriarch of House Zhonglin, he wanted to minimize this threat.
If Qin Yi had answered the question seriously, then House Donglin would never let him off the hook if the resources weren't distributed equally! Even if he did achieve his ideal result, House Donglin would still hold a grudge against him.
Qin Yi was a foreign cultivator after all. If he were to make decisions so easily, then where would House Donglin put their face?
Unfortunately, Qin Yi, the target of his provocation, had reacted immediately and given the perfect answer. Lin Xian couldn't help but admire Qin Yi's calm and quick-wittedness!
He laughed heartily, not the slightest bit embarrassed at being exposed. "Brother Qin is right. It was my lack of consideration."
Face impassive, Qin Yi saluted with cupped fists, then turned and walked off the stage toward House Donglin's camp.
… …
"Qin Yi! You've given us a pleasant surprise! "
After returning to the shed, Lin Xiao, Lin Dongpeng, and the others were all beaming.
Clearly, to be able to fight someone like Lin Juezong to a draw was not an easy feat!
However, Qin Yi was extremely calm. There wasn't even the slightest bit of joy in his heart.
In the face of everyone's praises, he merely smiled and said, "Patriarch, the Grand Competition has ended. Can you allow Qin Mo to leave first?"
Lin Xiao frowned when he heard this, but he didn't probe further. He just asked, "Do you want me to send someone to follow you?"
It was obvious that he was worried about Qin Yi's safety. After all, Qin Yi had slaughtered Lin Zhi's precious son in this competition. With House Zhonglin and House Donglin backing him, Lin Zhi wouldn't dare do anything to Qin Yi. But if Qin Yi were to walk the streets alone, even if he was killed, they wouldn't have any evidence against Lin Zhi.
In the face of Lin Xiao's good intentions, Qin Yi declined with a smile. "Don't worry, Patriarch. If they really dare cause trouble for Qin Mo, I have my own ways to deal with them. Besides, I don't think they have the guts to do anything to me! "
Everyone had witnessed Qin Yi's talent in the competition. A genius like this was bound to be favored by a large sect.
Moreover, Qin Yi had the support of House Donglin and House Zhonglin. Although he wasn't exactly a force to be reckoned with, he was no longer the servant who could be bullied as he pleased.
Even if Lin Zhi thought he could kill Qin Yi without anyone noticing, it would be difficult to clear his name.
Therefore, even if someone really wanted to kill him, the chances of House Beilin taking action were actually the lowest.
What's more, Qin Yi wasn't a person who could be easily bullied by others. Even if he wasn't a match for them, with his skills, there were very few people who could catch him!
After a moment's hesitation, Lin Xiao finally nodded and agreed to allow Qin Yi to leave alone.
Qin Yi cupped his hands in a cupped fist salute. "In that case, Qin Mo will take his leave first."
With that, he lowered his hands and turned to leave.
Naturally, he had his reasons for leaving in such a hurry. After exiting the door, he sprinted toward a certain corner of Five Woodlands City at lightning speed!
Soon, he stopped in front of a pitch-black house.
"You're here?"
Soon, a voice came from the inside. The black market's doors opened as soon as the voice came out.
Since Qin Yi had come to Five Woodlands City, he had been to the black market a few times. However, this was the first time he was allowed to enter.
Qin Yi didn't hesitate. With a flash, he stepped through the doors and disappeared into the darkness.
Compared to Qingli City, the layout of Five Woodlands City's black market was quite different.
Although the style was as dark as usual, there weren't any long tunnels here. Soon, he arrived at a dark room.
"Congratulations, you've completed the mission and even received a pleasant surprise."
In the darkness, a familiar voice came.
Qin Yi's lips curled upward as he said, "I don't think you're sincerely wishing me well, right?"
"HAHA! Nice! "
A voice was heard, and the pitch-black room was instantly illuminated. In the corner of the room, a young man in a white shirt came into view!
Qin Yi couldn't be more familiar with the young man's face. This person was the top genius of Zhonglin Clan who had fought against him for a long time — Lin Juezong!
"I have to say, your strength has indeed exceeded my expectations! Even my puppet couldn't defeat you! It seems like I've underestimated you. "
Lin Juezong's expression remained indifferent. Although his voice was emotional, it still sounded a little stiff. Without a doubt, the person before him was still Lin Juezong's puppet clone. As for his original body, it was most likely in seclusion in the Zhonglin Clan.
"I have to say, your puppet-controlling technique is indeed top-notch! It's almost at the level of passing off the fake as the real thing! I think your so-called divine ability should be referring to your puppetry technique, right? "
Qin Yi raised his brows and said in an indifferent voice.
Lin Juezong nodded slightly and said, "That's right! In fact, I'm a machinist! I can control puppets remotely with my mental strength! "
As expected!
