Chapter 4190: Not willing!
Translator: 549690339
As for the other rookies present, with their mere Foundation establishment stage strength, standing here was simply like a small boat in a monstrous wave. They swayed unsteadily and could capsize at any time.
And this was when Xu lingchong and Lin Yi were both focusing on each other-if they were to change their target, these normal newbies would be crushed by their aura.
He only needed to look at you, and you’d collapse. They were all newbies, and this was the difference between them and Lin Yi!
The two sides were in a stalemate. For a moment, dark clouds loomed over the city. The entire Welcome Pavilion looked as if a storm was about to come. Perhaps it was just a coincidence that the weather had changed. However, at this moment, everyone could already feel a heavy pressure in their hearts. This was especially so for the ordinary newcomers around them. They felt as if the gods were fighting and the mortals were suffering.
However, despite the tense confrontation between the two, neither Xu lingchong nor Lin Yi had any intention of making a move. Needless to say, although Xu lingchong wanted to kill Lin Yi, he couldn’t attack Lin Yi without a good reason-he’d be caught and severely punished in front of the law enforcement Hall.
“Lin Yi, I heard that you’ve been pretty cocky lately?” Xu lingchong coldly sneered.
“Hehe, senior brother Xu, you’re too kind. I’m just living my life according to my duties. It’s just that I can’t stand some blind people who always come to my door and ask for a beating. I can only reluctantly do it.” Lin Yi replied faintly.
“Very good, since you’re already an early jiedan stage expert, it’s rare for a newcomer to have such a performance, it’s worthy of praise!” Xu lingchong didn’t seem to hear the mockery in Lin Yi’s words as he suggested,”I can make an exception and recruit you as an official disciple of the rising Sky Pavilion. Are you willing?”
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding people suddenly went into an uproar. The rising Sky Pavilion was the most powerful among the three great pavilions. There was no doubt about this. Whether it was in terms of resources or status, they were much higher than the other two pavilions. Under normal circumstances, any disciple of the profound secrets Pavilion or the GreenCloud Pavilion would dream of joining the rising Sky Pavilion.
As the eldest senior brother in charge of the rising Sky Pavilion and the grandson of Xu Yuanzheng, the third elder of the rising Sky Pavilion, Xu lingchong indeed held such power in his hands. As long as he had the right reason, it was not too difficult for him to get someone to join the rising Sky Pavilion.
“I don’t want to.” Lin Yi’s answer was simple and clear, surprising everyone.
“Gah?” Lingchong Xu was stunned. The reason why he suggested this was to take care of Lin Yi.
After all, he was one of the representatives of the pavilion, and it wasn’t convenient for him to fight Lin Yi. If he wanted to fight like su Zhaohe did, he didn’t have a proper reason, and he couldn’t just castrate himself in public.
But, if he could get Lin Yi into the pavilion, then as the manager of the pavilion, he’d be able to do anything he wanted with ease. Lin Yi would never be able to escape from him.
He didn’t expect Lin Yi to reject him without a second thought. Did this guy see through his plan?
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you reject it now, you’ll be blocking this path and never enter the rising Sky Pavilion again. Have you thought about it?” Xu lingchong said, still unwilling to give up.
“I’ll just stay here. It’s pretty good, so I don’t need to trouble senior brother Xu.” Lin Yi, on the other hand, didn’t give in at all. He sized lingchong up and turned around with a playful look,”Senior brother Xu, it’s great to see that you’re fine, but … Hehehehehehe …”
Lin Yi’s laughter might look ridiculous to the others, but lingchong knew that this guy was laughing at her for losing her manhood!
“What are you laughing at!” Xu lingchong was instantly infuriated by the laughter. He immediately said furiously,”If you laugh again, do you believe that this young master will kill you right now!”
“Hehe, you’re in charge of the heavens and the earth, and you’re also in charge of whether I laugh or not? the power of the eldest senior brother of the rising Sky Pavilion’s manager isn’t that exaggerated, right?” Lin Yi said mischievously.
“Hmph, you’ve got balls, Lin Yi-you better be careful, don’t let me catch you!” Xu lingchong gritted his teeth in anger, but he couldn’t do anything to Lin Yi. He could only leave with a dark face.
He really didn’t think that Lin Yi wouldn’t be afraid of him at all. It seemed like this kid wasn’t as easy to deal with as he thought-he had to plan this out properly!
Lin Yi and Shangguan LAN ‘er had to pay the price!
Lin Yi’s mouth twitched as he watched lingchong leave. She didn’t come with good intentions, and since she’d returned, she’d definitely come looking for trouble. He had to be careful.
In the following period of time, Lin Yi rarely left the house, spending every day in his cave practitioning. He was already close to the peak early golden core stage, and thought that he could break through easily, but for some reason, he felt like he’d hit a bottleneck. He was only one step away, but he couldn’t get past it. He didn’t know what the problem was.
Other than that, the other thing that surprised Lin Yi was that Xu lingchong didn’t come looking for trouble!
During this period of time, lingchong had been attending all sorts of events and had returned to being the big Senior Manager of the soaring Pavilion. His power and position were gradually stabilizing, but the only thing he didn’t do was cause trouble for Lin Yi.
What was even weirder was that no matter where lingchong went, he would always bring Meng Tong along. The two were like glue, never leaving each other’s side. This made Zhaoming even more jealous-he’d always thought of himself as lingchong’s number one follower!
Now, the trust and respect Meng Tong had received was far above Kang Zhaoming ‘s. What made him even more annoyed and puzzled was that Xu lingchong still insisted that they call Meng Tong “brother Meng”!
He had to treat Meng Tong with the same respect as he treated young master Xu. He had to be at Meng Tong’s beck and call. This was like acknowledging another ancestor!
What kind of magic potion did Meng Tong give young master Xu to make him treat him so well? he was being way too nice!
Plus, the two were stuck together like glue. In Zhaoming’s eyes, they weren’t just friends, nor were they superior and subordinate. They gave off the feeling that they were more like an intimate couple!
Couple? Zhaoming himself was shocked by the thought, but he didn’t dare ask any more questions. He just continued to serve.
Zhaoming wasn’t the only one who was confused-everyone else who was close to lingchong had the same thought as well. The two men suddenly became so close to each other, and their relationship had clearly gone beyond friendship. It was hard not to be suspicious. (To be continued.) ”
Chapter 1932: Arriving at the destination
“Sigh, it’s all my fault for getting such a long distance GPS. I’ve seen other people’s GPS, and they’re all very, very close, less than twenty kilometers in a straight line …” Xinyan smiled bitterly-her one-way trip was like a round trip for them.
Lin Yi, naturally, knew that Yutian was doing this on purpose-only he had the ability to carry someone this far, and that was why he left the most difficult part to him.
Of course, there was another GPS that was just as difficult as Lin Yi ‘s. It was in the opposite direction of Lin Yi, at the end of the mountain range, and they had to cross the mountain as well.
But Yutian gave the GPS to the three-it was a piece of cake for them to get there. Lin Yi was an Earth Class, but even if he had Xinyan with him, he might not be as fast as the three of them.
“Ha … It’ll be fine with me around. If it really doesn’t work, I’ll carry you.” Lin Yi said with a smile.
“I … I’ll hold on a little longer …” Wang Xinyan hesitated and gritted her teeth. Although it would be easy for Lin Yi to carry her, Wang Xinyan was shy and she didn’t want to risk it. She was also afraid that Lin Yi would be too tired.
Lin Yi nodded, but seeing that Xinyan was having a hard time walking, he extended his hand to her.
Xinyan took Lin Yi’s hand after some hesitation-it was the first time she’d been held by a guy, and it wasn’t out of love, but out of teammates. Xinyan knew that Lin Yi wouldn’t have any other thoughts-he just wanted to help her, that was all.
Although, Xinyan’s hands were still a little stiff despite what she said-they were already sweating from holding Lin Yi’s hand.
Lin Yi smiled at Xinyan’s nervousness.”We are now comrades.”
Xinyan was taken aback, but she smiled and nodded.”Yeah, we’re comrades!”
At that moment, the knot in Wang Xinyan’s heart was finally untied. She held Lin Yi’s hand even tighter, but she didn’t feel nervous anymore. In its place was a very comfortable sense of security. It was as if she was not afraid of anything as long as she held his hand. All difficulties were like floating clouds.
It was a bumpy journey, and after about ten kilometers, the sky started to darken-it was already six in the middle of the night, and while Lin Yi didn’t face any obstacles, Xinyan was a girl, after all, and it was obvious that she’d be scared.
Lin Yi would usually choose to move at night when he was in the Virgin forest-it was a dark and windy night, after all.
“I’ll carry you. ” Lin Yi looked at the coordinates on the GPS-the two had crossed the mountain and were going down the mountain, heading towards their destination.
As the old saying goes, it’s easy to go up the mountain, but hard to go down. Although it’s strenuous to go up the mountain, it’s not easy to be in danger. Although it’s energy-saving when going down the mountain, it’s easy to lose your footing.
Of course, this wasn’t a problem for an Earth Class like Lin Yi-he wouldn’t die even if he slid down. Xinyan, on the other hand, was having a harder time walking down the mountain, especially when it was dark.
That was why Lin Yi suggested that they do it behind Xinyan’s back.
Xinyan hesitated-they were less than ten kilometers away from their destination, but it was all down the mountain. If they kept going like this, they’d have to walk until midnight, and they’d probably wake up at noon the next day. They wouldn’t make it back in time.
“Come up, my comrade!” Lin Yi hung the bag over his chest and crouched down.
Xinyan didn’t resist anymore-she wrapped her arms around Lin Yi’s neck and lay on top of him.
However, when her soft chest pressed against Lin Yi’s body, Xinyan realized that she wasn’t wearing a bra. Didn’t that mean that she was on Lin Yi’s back? But thinking about it, a normal person’s back shouldn’t be that sensitive, so Lin Yi shouldn’t be able to feel anything …
She didn’t know that Lin Yi wasn’t a normal person-he was an Earth Class practitioner, and practitioners had the best control over their body parts, so Lin Yi reacted the moment Xinyan laid on him …
It was a good thing that Xinyan was behind him, and it was dark. She wouldn’t be able to see his reaction, or it’d be really embarrassing.
Xinyan wanted to carry Lin Yi’s bag for him, but then she remembered that she was still with him. Even if she carried her bag, it’d be the same as putting all the weight on Lin Yi.
Xinyan thought that Lin Yi would be walking very slowly with her on his back, but as she looked at the trees, she realized that Lin Yi wasn’t slowing down at all. In fact, he was even walking faster than before!
What surprised Xinyan the most was that Lin Yi didn’t even step on anything like she did-he walked so steadily that she didn’t miss a step! Could it be that Lin Yi was walking so slowly because he was accommodating her?
Xinyan felt even more guilty at the thought.
In fact, even with his eyes closed, Lin Yi could still walk as if he was flying, and he could see even more clearly than with his eyes open …
He felt the softness on his back, but his attention quickly shifted to other places. What should he do with the Miss and Shu? With their personalities, they might not be in the same group as the others. They were not cultivators and were girls. If they went up the mountain, would it be dangerous?
But phones weren’t allowed here-they’d locked it up in the room’s cabinet. It was impossible for Lin Yi to contact the Miss now, so he could only tell Yutian to take care of her.
But thinking about it, with Yushu around, Yutian wouldn’t give them anything too complicated.
Finally, Lin Yi arrived at his destination. It had to be said that Lin Yi had walked very fast this time. He had covered almost ten kilometers in less than half an hour, and this was under Lin Yi’s control. He didn’t want to scare Xinyan too much. Normally, Lin Yi wouldn’t even need ten minutes to run.
Xinyan was too tired, and she fell asleep on Lin Yi’s shoulder without realizing it. It was a very comfortable and peaceful feeling, as if she’d forgotten all her troubles just by lying on Lin Yi’s broad shoulders. It had only been half an hour, but Xinyan was still in a good sleep.
