Chapter 5439: Stealing fruits in the middle of the night

Translator: 549690339

Lin Yi smiled nonchalantly,”If you guys aren’t afraid of death, then go ahead and pluck them. I won’t stop you.”

“Really?” Bai jingze was skeptical. He was just trying to measure a gentleman’s heart with his own. If Lin Yi strongly stopped him, he would definitely do everything he could to get the spiritual fruit, but now that Lin Yi had made his stand clear, he was a little uncertain.

“Brother jingze, brother Qingfeng, although I can’t give you a reason, my intuition tells me that this thing is really abnormal. You two better not act rashly. There might really be a problem.” Chu Tianlu advised.

“This … Alright.” Zhang Qingfeng hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

“But we can’t just give up like this, can we?” Bai jingze was thinking of retreating, but he was still extremely unwilling. The legendary spiritual fruit was so close to him. If he just left like this, it would probably become a lifetime of regret.

“If that’s the case, then let’s just settle down here and wait.” Lin Yi didn’t mind spending a day or two here to get to the bottom of this thing.

Bing Wuqing didn’t have any objections, and so did Chu Tianlu. However, Bai jingze and Zhang Qingfeng were a little reluctant. They still thought that this was the spirit sense fruit, and Lin Yi was trying to scare them off so that he could take it all for himself.

But since things had come to this, they couldn’t object and could only waste their time here. No matter what, they would never leave until they got a good share of the loot.

The five of them settled down not far away. Camping in the wild was a common occurrence for cultivators like them. As long as they were a little more careful and avoided the threat of the nocturnal spirit beasts, nothing else was a big deal.

Lin Yi was lying on a tree nearby, and so were the others. It wasn’t only more comfortable, but they could also see the situation down there, especially the spirit sense fruit.

The ones who cared the most about this “spirit sense fruit” were Bai jingze and Lin Yi. Bai jingze was afraid that Lin Yi would play some tricks and secretly pick the spirit sense fruit in the middle of the night when he wasn’t paying attention. If Lin Yi denied it, he’d be at a huge loss.

However, he knew that he couldn’t keep an eye on Lin Yi all by himself. He was injured, and even with medicine, he’d still get sleepy sometimes. He needed to find an ally.

Bing Wuqing was obviously on Lin Yi’s side. As for Chu Tianlu, he didn’t know what kind of relationship he had with Lin Yi. Besides, with Chu Tianlu’s upright character, the possibility of him agreeing to something like this was almost zero.

After thinking about it, Bai jingze could only lock his Alliance target on Zhang Qingfeng. Although there was a Deep Gap between them, he was the only person present who stood on the same side as him.

“Qingfeng, I know you’re angry about what happened before, but I was really panicking at that time. I was so scared that I didn’t even know your position. I subconsciously attacked from behind. Really, I just wanted to try and see if I could cut those insects. I really didn’t attack you. We’ve been brothers for so many years, you must believe me!” Bai jingze explained in a low voice.

“Is that so?” Zhang Qingfeng looked at him and sneered,””If you really don’t have a guilty conscience, why are you explaining this to me?”

Did Bai jingze really think that Zhang Qingfeng was a three-year-old child? In that situation, it was obvious that the other party wanted to use him as a meat shield to attract the black insects so that he could escape. If he, Zhang Qingfeng, could not even see this, then he deserved to be killed.

“I’m just afraid that you’ll feel guilty …” Bai jingze said guiltily.

“Hmph,” he snorted. Zhang Qingfeng hmphed coldly and looked at Lin Yi’s group, who were pretending to be asleep,”You don’t need to pretend in front of me. I’ve already seen through what kind of person you are. Hehe, you want me to work with you to secretly take that spiritual fruit, am I right?”

“Uh …” Bai jingze blushed with shame, but he quickly regained his composure and nodded. “That’s right, the spiritual energy fruit is right in front of you, I don’t think you want to let it slip by and let others take it for themselves, right? No matter what kind of misunderstanding there is between us, we can’t let the fertile water flow into other people’s fields, don’t you think?”

“Hmph, a vile person is a vile person.” Zhang Qingfeng curled his lips in disdain.

Bai jingze’s face turned ugly, but then he heard Zhang Qingfeng ask,””What do you plan to do?”

It was true that he hated Bai jingze now, but he also had the same thoughts as Bai jingze. He was also drooling over the spiritual fruit in front of him. Bai jingze’s suggestion was exactly what he wanted. In fact, even if Bai jingze didn’t take the initiative to suggest it, he would have put down his face and joined forces with the other party. After all, if he was alone, no matter what little tricks he wanted to do, he was too weak.

Bai jingze’s lips curled up as he looked at Lin Yi and the other two. He lowered his voice to a whisper and mouthed,”Our Bai family has a unique family secret technique called the night hiding technique. As long as it is used at night, it can completely hide in the darkness, and ordinary people can’t detect it at all.”

“Since you have such a method, why did you come to me?” Zhang Qingfeng frowned. If the night hiding skill was really as amazing as Bai jingze said, he could have stolen the spiritual fruit by himself and didn’t need to shamelessly come to him for help.

“It’s true that the night hiding technique can hide from their eyes and ears, but look at them, each one more alert than the other. Once I use the night hiding technique, they will immediately realize that I’m gone. Wouldn’t that be bad?” Bai jingze continued to mouthed.

“Then what do you want to do?” Zhang Qingfeng asked.

“It just so happens that you know the illusion technique. Although it is easy for people to see through your illusion during the day, in this kind of night with only the faint moonlight, it is enough to pass off as the real thing. I will use the night hiding technique while you use the illusion technique to confuse their vision. Wouldn’t that be the same?” Bai jingze’s eyes lit up as he suggested this. He had already planned this from the start, or else he would not have shamelessly come to Zhang Qingfeng.

Zhang Qingfeng thought for a while. This was indeed a feasible solution, but he was still a little worried.”You want me to cover for you? What if you take it all for yourself?” [Fishman’s new book,”the president of the school Belle depends on me” has been released. Everyone can go and read it.]
