Chapter 1348 – Temporary Enduring

Lin Yi, on the other hand, tensed up. The medical notes? Very well- he didn’t want to fight to the death with this guy at first, but since he wanted to take the notes away from him, he was asking to take Xiaoxiao’s life- this old man was already marked for death!

But, Lin Yi was currently extremely weak- he was acting tough, but he knew. This Elder Yu didn’t have any secret weapons like he did to look at other people’s strength levels, and would only be able to know his strength if he used it. So, Lin Yi didn’t mind putting on a front.

If they were to clash right now, however, Lin Yi’s vulnerability would be very clear.

So he had to endure it even if his killing instincts were getting activated- since he already forced Elder Yu to tell them his true motives, then Lin Yi deiced to just let him be for a while- he’ll find a way to get him in the tomb after recovering, instantly killing him.

“So that’s it. True, it’s not of much value, but even so, I still want one copy. I’m interested in that qi gathering pill as well- I wonder if I could have one if there were two of them?” Lin Yi’s purpose here was to distract Elder Yu- if he just gave up like this now, Elder Yu would only get suspicious. He was acting cocky all day, and all of a sudden, it was fine?

Elder Yu took a moment but nodded. For the personal notes, he had to say yes to this. Lin Yi may only be a Mystic, but he was a headache and an uncertain variable.

“Alright, but if there are only one of those pills, I’m taking it.” Elder Yu said. “Regarding the medical notes, you can make a copy if you want, but you’d better not spread it- you wouldn’t benefit from doing that anyway.”

“Deal.” Lin Yi nodded.

James and Old Hei were quite envious of Lin Yi talking terms with Elder Yu, but they couldn’t do anything. Lin Yi had the strength and capability to back it up, and they didn’t

“Since it’s decided, I’ll go with you to the tomb tomorrow morning!” Elder Yu gave a breath of relief after confirmation from LIn Yi, exiting the tent, satisfied. He had to go somewhere and quickly repair his wounds- his left arm got crippled by Lin Yi, and he lost a lot of power from that.

Lin Yi stood up after Elder Yu left. “I’ll be going first if there’s nothing else.

“We lost a lot of men now, so regarding the tomb reward split…” Old Hei asked after some hesitation.

“Fifty-fifty.” Lin Yi said as he looked at him. “You okay with that?”

“Fifty-fifty?” Old Hei smiled bitterly- wouldn’t James and him only have that fifty then? He’d have thirty, and that was the same as before- he didn’t get anything from killing those two people!

“What? Is that a no?” Lin Yi said coldly.

“It’s a yes; it’s a yes..!” Old Hei nodded- he didn’t dare say no here. In his perspective, this guy was someone powerful enough to be haggling with a damned Earth class, what could he ever do to him! He had to lower his head- if he’d known that there would be this much danger in this raid, he wouldn’t have come.

Lin Yi left it at that and left the tent with Lingshan and Yutian- upon exiting, his face lost all of its colors and went completely pale! He was very weak the entire time and hadn’t even recovered yet except for some simple healing. He had been forcing a face the entire time!

“Li- what’s wrong?” Lingshan said, quickly stopping herself from saying his name accidentally as she held him up.

“It’s nothing- my injuries were really severe!” Lin Yi smiled bitterly. “An Earth class… It’s good enough I didn’t die by his hand…”

That was right! Lingshan and Yutian froze. This was Lin Yi- somebody else, even if he were a Mystic, would still be a weakling in an Earth class’ eyes! They wouldn’t be able to run, let alone haggle with him!

Only Lin Yi could do something like that. It seemed- any other person with Mystic level of strength wouldn’t manage it. Lingshan and Yutian were very impressed.

“Are you still going tomb raiding then, tomorrow?” Lingshan asked, worried.

“It’s fine. One night’s rest should be enough.” Lin Yi smiled. “Let’s go, help me back- don’t let anyone see me.”

“Alright.” Lingshan nodded, helping Lin Yi back with Yutian.

Elder Yu found a place to heal himself as well. He had no time to be monitoring Lin Yi. He found a place and started practitioning…

But his phone rang after a while- he thought it was from the hidden house, but it turned out to be the common House Yu.

“Hello?” He picked up without hesitation. “Shuixing, is that you?”

“Big brother, it’s me!” Shuixing said quickly. “Brother, you came back from House Yu, right? How’s the mission going, everything fine?”

“Not quite so- there’s a young one here that’s a Mystic, but it’s really odd, he actually managed to hurt me!” Shuixing, didn’t I tell you that you can’t just call me during this mission? This is a secret mission, I only told you about it, but even so, it’s best if we communicate less. The hidden House Yu would receive heavy punishment from the council if they knew.”

“I see- brother, then when you’re done, can you come to our House Yu to back us?” Shuixnig was disappointed. “Our common house Yu hasn’t been what it was after you left. If you don’t come and scare these young ones, then we might not even have our spot in the noble house list anymore.”

“I can’t- I told you, I came here in secret. If the council were to learn of it, it’d be big trouble. I can’t show my face in public.” Elder Yu said. “Not only would this hurt the hidden house, but me as well…”

“But… House Yu is at the brink of death…” Shuixing said unwillingly.
