Chapter 1375: No Negotiation

Chapter 1374 – No Negotiation

“Fu… No matter what, everything is fine now, the little Miss is alright now, I can rest easy now… You pay attention to what happens later and report back!” Elder Li relaxed.

It seemed like everything was over now- Lin Yi had already made all the perfect arrangements, he’d been worried for nothing! An Elder of the Dark Palace sect, not even as good as the little bodyguard Lin Yi!

“Yes!” The shadow said, “Don’t worry, Elder Li. However, our group can only do surveillance, if something sudden were to happen, we can’t provide support…”

The shadow was very close to Elder Li already, one of his most trusted men. He didn’t speak too reservedly.

“That’s… I’ll have to talk to the Grand ELder a bit more, but you’ve brought me good news. It seems like this Lin Yi’s background is strong enough!” Elder Li said, shocked, “If he really is that strong, I’m sure the Grand Elder will make exceptions…”

The shadow didn’t dare comment on the inner workings on the sect. He hung up after listening.

And Elder Li went to the Grand Elder’s residence.

“Why are you back again?” The Grand Elder said, a little irritated that the guy was back again. Her face turned cold.

“Grand Elder, I have something important to report!” Elder Li said.

“If this is about that little bastard Chu mengyao, forget it. I still need to practition,” She said impatiently.

“This… It is about the little miss, but…” Elder Li was a bit hesitant- the Grand Elder was blocking his words right away.

“But what? There’s no buts, I don’t care if she lives or dies.” She waved a dismissive hand.

“Elder Li, please let me finish- that Jin Wudi is dead!” Elder Li said, pressing on, “The one who killed him was Lin Yi’s follower…”

“So what do you want to tell me? That follower of Lin Yi is strong?” She frowned, “What’s the big deal about killing an Earth class? We could both do it?”

“Grand Elder, the little miss’ bodyguard isn’t weak at all- the follower of a bodyguard, killing an Earth class with one hit- just what is his strength level? Lin Yi is only a Mystic, according to my research- why would this follower be willing to serve under a Mystic?” Elder Li analyzed, “Thias Lin Yi must hve a powerful strength backing him up, he might even be the next heir to some house or even a sect…”

“You think I wouldn’t know about the people and disciples in the circle of ancient houses and ancient sects? You think I need you to analyze that for me?” She scoffed, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking, you’re saying this to make me think that Lin Yi has a really strong background and I should get on his good side for the sake of the sect- but in my eyes he’s only a small fry, his strength isn’t enough to enter my interest!”

“That’s…” Elder Li was feeling a bit awkward- it was indeed what he was thinking, and it was embarrassing that she saw through it, “Even so, to be able to have this strength in the common world must mean something. After all, the saying goes that with one more friend, you have one more path- even if he’s small fry, it’s still worth us getting on good terms with him! Since he’s already shown such talent for practitioning, it’d be bad if a different sect got him…”

“Hmph, just a mortal’s practitioning, it’s not worth us Dark Palace Sect trying to win him over. Though this Chu Pengzhan sure is pretty good- where did he find a bodyguard like this?” She said faintly, “Alright, you investigate that Lin Yi’s background- if it really is worth it to win them over then I could give him some benefits. The terms Chu Pengzhan was able to give him, our sect can give as well!”

“Ah? Grand Elder, you’re saying we should… Steal him from Chu Pengzhan?” Elder Li pause.d

“Didn’t you say that he has talent and it’s worth us pulling him over?” The Elder said faintly.

“But, the little miss…” Elder LI paused, wondering if he’d done something unnecessary. He might’ve messed up- if the Grand Elder were to be interested in Lin Yi and pull him over to the sect, what about Mengyao?

“Do you want to pull talents over to our side or do you want the safety of a little bastard girl?” The Elder was a bit angry, “Alright, leave- you’re always worrying about this and that, you’re full of private emotions and don’t consider our sect’s future at all, all you consider is the wellbeing of a bastard! If that bastard is able to turn our sect into the strongest sect, I could be her servant for all I care, otherwise, it’s not a negotiation!”

“Then I’ll take my leave…” Elder Li sighed helplessly, but left it at that. The Grand Elder was an extremist, living for the sect- she’d give her life for the sect, but anything other than that was a different story.

Elder Li was worried that he had said too much, if the Grand Elder insists on pulling Lin Yi to the sect- where would Pengzhan get a bodyguard this strong then? He decided to leave first.

At House Xiao, Pi Zhishan is sitting with a solemn face on the sofa’s main seat, and beside him was Xiao Ji and Xiao Ben, with Wangba and Wangdao standing beside them respectfully.

At this moment, both Xiao brothers had learned of what happened already, and were shocked. They thought that with Jin Wudi, Lin Yi would be dead for sure- and now it was Wudi who was dead. Even the big young master of House Pi had his head lowered- House Xiao was in extreme danger.

“Master Pi, you can’t abandon House Xiao- we pissed off House Chu only because we were helping to earn money for House PI- now that an accident has happened, you can’t abandon us!” Xiao Ji was most worried that House Pi would leave them right now- they were a hidden house and could just walk away- Lin Yi couldn’t just go invade their headquarters, after all.

But House Xiao was different! They needed to continue their careers here, so unless they changed their names and moved to a different city and stopped caring about the noble houses and all that, Lin Yi could easily find them for revenge if he wanted!
