Chapter 5390: Why are you laughing if we’re not close?

“But you’ll be trapped here like this. This isn’t a solution, right?” Duanmu Yu frowned. She’d thought that the higher-ups of the sect would let Lin Yi out, but the possibility wasn’t high. Perhaps in their eyes, Lin Yi was a bargaining chip that was sent to their door. Trading the spiritual grass for Lin Yi’s freedom was something they’d already discussed.

Lin Yi said nonchalantly as he looked around. “I’m alright, you don’t have to mind. ”

This was the truth. He was now a real primordial spirit of the xuansheng stage. Even the ‘to the sky in one step’ formation could not trap him, so this unknown formation would naturally not be able to trap him. After all, the ‘to the sky in one step’ formation was personally set up by the legendary great emperor. No matter how powerful the ‘to the sky in one step’ was, it would be difficult to compare with it.

“How can I not mind …” Duanmu Yu smiled bitterly, but then he thought about it. Even a terrifying existence like the nine neonate was tamed by Lin Yi in the river of consciousness. This might really be a small scene for him. He felt a lot more at ease.

“Let’s not talk about this. I’m free anyway. Why don’t we do something?” Lin Yi suggested.

While they were talking, he had already carefully examined the formation that trapped the two of them. It was not much different from the “one step to the sky” formation and could be considered to be a rather Troublesome Formation. However, with his strength, he should have no problem getting out of this formation. If he spent more effort, he might even be able to uproot this formation. However, that would be equivalent to completely falling out with the leaf spirit sect. From Duanmu Yu’s attitude, he reckoned that she did not want to do that. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have stayed here and not done anything. She even deliberately kept the spirit sense grass.

“Do what?” Duanmu Yu’s heart skipped a beat when Lin Yi’s eyes locked onto her-she was a man, but she was still a girl, especially in a room like this, where a man and a woman were alone … Anyone would have the wrong idea …

“It’s rare for me to come to see you, so I wanted to take this opportunity to help you break through to the Golden core stage and also refine the spirit sense grass for you. Consider it a small gift. Why are you blushing?” Lin Yi asked curiously. He’d been with Duanmu Yu for a while now, and the tough girl didn’t really blush that much.

“Ugh …” Duanmu Yu blushed. She couldn’t help but think of the scene in the mirror world where Lin Yi hugged her untidily. She was acting very carefree at that time, but it was a little embarrassing when she thought about it, especially in a situation like this.

At this time, the metal door suddenly opened, and a dark-faced young man stood outside. Lin Yi didn’t need Duanmu Yu’s reminder to know that this man was Qiu mingchong.

“The sect leader and the elders asked me to come over and ask, what has eldest Senior Sister thought about these days?” Even though he said that, Qiu mingchong’s eyes were still on Lin Yi.

“No,” Duanmu Yu’s reply was simple and direct.

Qiu mingchong wasn’t surprised by this. He would come over to ask the same question every few days, and he was already used to it. However, this time, he didn’t turn around and walk away, but continued,””Alright, but there’s one more thing that the higher-ups specifically told us. Big Senior Sister, you said that you only have half of the spirit sense grass, so the other half is most likely with Lin Yi. Since you’ve come to our spirit leaf sect, I hope that you can return it to its original owner.”

“Return it to its original owner?” Lin Yi didn’t find it strange that the other party had their eyes on him, but what was that supposed to mean?

“That’s right, the spirit sense grass has been a treasure of our leaf spirit sect since ancient times. It’s only clearly recorded in our sect’s ancient books, so what’s wrong with saying that it’s returned to its owner?” Qiu mingchong said.

Lin Yi was stunned for a while-was it really appropriate to say something so shameless out loud?

Your family’s ancient book recorded information on the spirit sense grass, so all the spirit sense grass in the world can only belong to your family. What kind of weird logic is this?

Duanmu Yu blushed as he held his forehead. Even at home, he’d just treat this as a joke, but now he was using it against Lin Yi. How embarrassing!

“The sect leader said that the leaf spirit sect and the green cloud sect of the North Island have always had a good relationship. He doesn’t want to hurt the relationship between the two sects because of this matter. So, as long as you hand over the spirit sense grass, nothing will happen. We will naturally treat you well and thank you.” Qiu mingchong continued to add.

“This …” Lin Yi thought about it and concluded,””The reason you gave is not very flattering, but I understand the general meaning. My current situation is equivalent to being kidnapped, and only by handing over the spirit sense grass can I redeem myself. Is that what you mean?”

Duanmu Yu almost laughed out loud. Qiu mingchong’s expression was somewhat unsightly. However, he still nodded and said,”You must be joking. However, you are not mistaken in general. I believe that you are a smart person who knows how to adapt to the current situation, right?”

“Of course, I know what to do. It’s a pity that the half of the consciousness grass you wanted isn’t with me. I’ve given it to Bing Wuqing. If you want it, you can go to snow sword sect to find him. It’s not far from here, anyway.” Lin Yi said casually.

“What?” Qiu mingchong was shocked when he heard this. His face was filled with disbelief,””How could such an important thing like the spirit sense grass be given to an outsider?”

He only heard that Lin Yi got the spirit grass, and Duanmu Yu got half of it. He didn’t know the details, so he assumed that Lin Yi kept the other half. These two had been together since the test, and it was only natural for them to get half of it after they got it.

Unfortunately, Qiu mingchong didn’t know that the most important part of the spirit sense grass wasn’t the spirit sense grass, but the huge spirit sense grass root. Even the higher-ups of the leaf spirit sect didn’t know about this. After all, there were no records of this in the ancient books.

Otherwise, Qiu mingchong would definitely ask for the spirit sense grass instead of a mere half of it.

“Do I know you very well?” Lin Yi asked.

“No… Not familiar …” Qiu mingchong was stunned, and his face was inexplicable.

“Since we’re not close, why am I joking with you?” Lin Yi didn’t hold back at all, and Qiu mingchong’s face turned green and white before Lin Yi continued, “I’ll say it again. The spiritual awareness grass is for Bing Wuqing. You can believe it or not.”
