Chapter 5363: Not bad

Translator: 549690339

In the eyes of an extremely pragmatic person like him, there was no such thing as mercy. In his eyes, there were only advantages and disadvantages. As long as he weighed the advantages and disadvantages, he would not hesitate to take action. The reason why he did not make any moves now was because he had not figured out the situation and could not act rashly.

After much persuasion, Bing Wuqing was finally persuaded to leave. Of course, he didn’t really leave, but was just temporarily appeased. For this reason, Chen Jiu had even specially instructed Lu Pingan to arrange an extremely secluded residence for him, afraid that this fellow would do something out of control after crossing paths with ordinary disciples. After all, the destructive power of a nascent soul expert was no small matter.

“Keep a close eye on him. No matter what he does, report to me immediately.” Chen Jiu warned. Lin Yi had been his biggest threat before, but now it was Bing Wuqing. After all, the latter was a true nascent soul expert, an existence that could truly threaten him.

“How do we keep an eye on him?” Lu Ping ‘an’s expression turned bitter. If it was a golden core expert, it would be fine, but the other party was a nascent soul old monster. He could easily flatten Lu Ping’ an with a single hand. How could he possibly keep an eye on him?

“You don’t need to keep an eye on his every move. Just make sure that the other disciples of our sect don’t come into contact with him, especially not let him get close to ascending heaven cliff.” Chen Jiu also knew that this request was a bit too much, but it had to be done. He didn’t know what the relations.h.i.+p between Bing Wuqing and Lin Yi was, but neither of them was easy to deal with. If they were to join forces, even Chen Jiu would have a big headache.

“Yes.” Lu Pingan could only agree reluctantly. It wasn’t realistic for him to keep an eye on Bing Wuqing with his current strength. However, he could change his way of thinking and focus on suspicious people who might be close to Bing Wuqing, such as Xin Yijie.

What he didn’t know was that when he and Chen Jiu were stalling for time with Bing Wuqing, Xin Yijie had already gone to the ascending heaven’s cliff as soon as he heard the news. He reported everything that had happened to Bing Wuqing to Lin Yi in detail.

“Hehe, not bad.” Lin Yi smiled faintly.

Although it was somewhat unexpected that Bing Wuqing had advanced to the nascent Soul Stage so quickly, he wasn’t surprised by it. After all, he was the one who had given her the top-grade golden core. When he said that he was right, he was actually referring to Bing Wuqing’s att.i.tude on this trip. She had shown her loyalty.

“Forming a nascent soul so quickly is only not bad?” Xin Yijie was flabbergasted. In the entire green cloud sect, he was probably the most familiar with Bing Wuqing apart from Lin Yi. She was still an early gold core like him a year ago, but in the blink of an eye, she had become a nascent soul old monster. How could he accept this?

“I’m saying his att.i.tude is pretty good. ” Lin Yi explained. Even though he knew that Bing Wuqing was a person who knew how to adapt to the current situation, this guy didn’t become arrogant after forming his nascent soul. He was still so obedient, which was very rare. It seemed that all the pills had not been wasted.

“He’s … One of us?” Xin Yijie’s eyes went wide when he heard this. He was curious as to why Bing Wuqing had to come to see Lin Yi, but he suddenly understood now. He looked at Lin Yi with even more respect. He was able to tame a genius like Bing Wuqing-his senior granduncle was indeed unfathomable.

“Not bad.” Lin Yi nodded. Since Bing Wuqing had come to the North Island, there was no need to hide this kind of thing. It would be more meaningful to announce it openly. With such a powerful follower, not only could he intimidate the enemies, but he could also boost his own confidence and unity. It was killing two birds with one stone.

“Martial granduncle is mighty!” As expected, Xin Yijie was very excited. He sighed in admiration and rejoiced that he didn’t bet on the wrong person. Since Lin Yi could even recruit a nascent Soul Stage expert like Bing Wuqing, then it wouldn’t be a problem for him to deal with Chen Jiu, who was also a nascent Soul Stage expert. He didn’t have to worry about Lin Yi anymore.

Lin Yi didn’t seem to mind-it’d be too much of a waste for someone of his level to get excited over something like this.

“Grand uncle-master, what should we do next? do you want me to contact Bing Wuqing?” Xin Yijie immediately asked in high spirits.

“You think you can contact him?” Lin Yi looked at him.

“That’s a little difficult …” Xin Yijie was instantly doused with a bucket of cold water. Even with his toes, he could tell that Lu Pingan would definitely do everything possible to prevent him from getting in touch with Bing Wuqing. Furthermore, he wasn’t strong enough, so it was impossible for him to force his way in. Contacting Bing Wuqing was easy to say, but it would be extremely difficult to do so.

“There’s no hurry. Don’t be impatient. ” Lin Yi smiled. Although they’d been in a stalemate for a while now, strictly speaking, they’d always had the initiative. Now that Bing Wuqing had come, it was even more so. The one who should be anxious right now was Chen Jiu, not him, so there was no need to panic. He could just wait and see.

“Alright,” he said. Xin Yijie was a little embarra.s.sed.

It was rare for such a powerful combat force like Bing Wuqing to come. He even thought that he could have a head-on arm-wrestle with Chen Jiu. For a native of the small ancient pugilistic world like him, the deterrence of a nascent soul old monster was deeply rooted. Even though he had always held the initiative in the previous situation, he still felt frightened and always felt that his side’s strength was not enough. Now, he finally had a nascent soul expert who was on par with him, and his att.i.tude was completely different from before.

Lin Yi couldn’t help but chuckle at this-he didn’t think that a good old man like Xin Yijie, who only knew how to protect himself, would have a warlike side to him.

But come to think of it, even though he was forced to stand on the opposite side of Chen Jiu, Lin Yi didn’t want to go to war. After all, his relations.h.i.+p with the North Island’s Qingyun school wasn’t fake. It would be best if they could resolve this peacefully.

A few days pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. Bing Wuqing had stayed at green cloud School on the North Island for a few days. Although she rarely interacted with the ordinary disciples of green cloud School due to Lu Pingan’s deliberate arrangements, and she didn’t have the chance to interact with Xin Yijie directly, Lu Pingan wouldn’t be able to stop her if she really wanted to do something with her strength.

If it wasn’t for the fact that she didn’t want to fall out with Chen Jiu for the time being, Bing Wuqing would’ve already forced her way into the ascending heaven cliff. Even if she chose not to move for the time being, it wouldn’t be difficult for her to find out about Lin Yi’s current situation.

From the current situation, Lin Yi may be trapped at the ascending cliff, but he still had the upper hand in this confrontation with Grand Elder Chen Jiu. At least Chen Jiu wouldn’t dare to do anything to him. However, Lin Yi also couldn’t get out of the ascending heaven formation, which was probably Chen Jiu’s only winning point.
