"I don't agree."
The scholarly man saw that Bai He did not say a word, which meant that he agreed with the statement. He raised his head to look at the new moon in the sky, and his eyes became unusually cold.
Bai He looked at the scholarly man calmly and asked, "Why?"
The scholarly man's face was expressionless as he said, "These people are of unknown origins. It's hard to trust them."
One had to admit that what the scholarly man said was true. This was the first time Bai He had met Qin Yi. He did not even have a deep understanding of Qin Yi's past.
It was a little rash to entrust him with such an important task.
Bai He was not displeased at the scholarly man's rebuttal and reason. Suddenly, a storage ring appeared in his hand, and he handed it to the scholarly man.
"This is?"
The moment he saw the storage ring, the scholarly man's unchanging face suddenly became anxious. He quickly took the ring from Bai He's hand. Just like Bai He had done before, he probed it with his Divine Sense.
A moment later, he retracted his Divine Sense. The excitement on his face did not dissipate for a long time. "This was brought by that young man?"
Bai He nodded and said, "Perhaps he's being hunted by the two sects because of the storage ring in your hand. Let me ask you, if he really had evil intentions, why would he return the item untouched? "
As Bai He had said, if Qin Yi really had evil intentions, he could have handed the item over to any of the Three Great Cauldron Sects. If he handed the item over to any of the Three Great Cauldron Sects, not only would he be able to avoid being hunted down, but he would also be able to obtain many rewards.
The scholarly man said, "Perhaps he just wants to return the item and ask for rewards from us?"
Bai He looked at the scholarly man deeply. He could clearly tell that the scholarly man did not have any evil intentions.
At the end of the day, the scholarly man was doing this for the academy. That was why he had to be more cautious and did not hesitate to guess other people's intentions with the greatest evil intentions.
Soon, Bai He said, "If he really asks for rewards from us, what do you think we should do?"
The scholarly man thought for a moment and said, "This item is too important to the academy. Now that it can return, it's naturally worth paying a great price. "
Bai He smiled and said, "In fact, the young man didn't say a word about the reward. He told me that all he did was to fulfill a promise he made to a dead friend. "
The refined man fell into deep thought, and his deep eyes seemed even more unfathomable under the reflection of the moonlight.
After a long time, he finally said, "In that case, this young man is a trustworthy person. However, I will reserve my opinion. After all, this person's background is unknown. Moreover, the academy is currently in a crisis, so we must be careful. "
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
The White Crane nodded and said in an extremely calm voice, "Moreover, it's precisely because this is a matter of life and death that I want to take a gamble."
The scholarly man suddenly withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the white crane. His deep eyes seemed to be thinking about something.
After a short moment, he finally said, "If I remember correctly, your eldest disciple should be about to break through to the fifth level of the Dao Origin Realm, right?"
It could be seen that he still held a negative attitude towards Bai He's idea.
The White Crane nodded, but there was no relief on his face. Instead, he said worriedly, "My disciple's talent is indeed not bad. However … "
The scholarly man chuckled and said, "The academy has gone through a hundred years of hardships, and those that are left behind are all trustworthy."
The White Crane did not deny this point. However, he still shook his head, "My disciple's loyalty to the academy is something that I can see. However, his personality is stubborn and extreme, so I'm afraid he won't amount to much. He can only be put in an important position, but he definitely isn't worth entrusting. "
The scholarly man said, "If that's the case, I will respect your decision. However, there isn't much time left. If I'm not wrong, that young man's cultivation should only be at the second level of the Dao Origin Realm, right? "
The second level of the Dao Origin Realm was not considered low.
However, compared to the strongest disciples of the three great sects, the gap was obvious.
The White Crane chuckled, "In terms of strength, it's naturally not a problem. If he can't even withstand this little test, I'm afraid he's destined to be mediocre. "
The scholarly man did not deny it, and said, "Great Elder, I have to say that I admire your courage more and more. It seems that the academy's survival will depend on whether you win or lose this gamble. "
Then, the scholarly man's figure suddenly became blurry. His entire person was like a ray of moonlight, completely disappearing from sight, and no trace of him could be found.
Without a companion, the White Crane still did not leave. He stood on the roof with his hands behind his back, allowing the cold moonlight to shine on his body. Soon, he seemed to have fallen into deep thought, and he did not move for a long time.
…
The sky gradually brightened.
The sunlight shone on the huge academy, which was cold and cheerless at night, and brought a hint of liveliness.
However, the quietness of the surroundings could not be concealed no matter what.
After a night of cultivation, Qin Yi's body condition had recovered to its peak, and his cultivation had also increased by quite a bit.
Perhaps it was because of the coincidence last night, the mysterious Heavenly Fire in his body was stimulated to the maximum. Now, the aura on his body seemed to be more compatible with the mysterious Heavenly Fire.
Perhaps, in the near future, he would be able to use the mysterious Heavenly Fire to activate an even stronger move.
Thinking of this, Qin Yi could not help but feel excited.
"You're awake?"
Sensing movement behind him, Qin Yi stopped his cultivation and turned to look at Lu Yu and the other man, who were slowly getting up.
"Hiss!"
Perhaps because of the injuries from last night, when Lu Yu got up, his expression was extremely ferocious. The pain in his body caused him to involuntarily suck in a breath of cold air.
In contrast, Ning Qiancheng was much calmer. Although his brows were tightly furrowed, he did not groan at all.
"Junior Brother, where are we?"
Sensing the unfamiliar environment around him, Ning Qiancheng immediately became alert.
After being pressured by Feng Yongnian last night, he had fallen into a coma. What happened after that, he had no idea.
Qin Yi smiled relaxedly and explained, "Senior Brother, don't worry. We are now in Yin-Yang Academy. For now, we are safe. "
"Yin-Yang Academy?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yu immediately jumped up from the bed. It was as if the remaining injuries on his body had completely disappeared at this moment. "So, I can go and seek an audience with Senior Duanmu Cheng now?"
Then, he hurriedly took out a clean set of clothes from his storage ring and changed into them. Then, he hurriedly washed up. He tried his best to put on his best state and leave a good impression on Duanmu Cheng.
After doing all this, Lu Yu immediately strode out and prepared to leave.
Qin Yi laughed and dissuaded him. "Brother Lu, do you know the way out now? Don't worry, a senior will be here soon to bring you to him. "
