There arent many people who know that the ancient Land of Trials produces spirit sense gra.s.s, and there are even fewer people who know that youve obtained spirit sense gra.s.s. If theres really someone behind this, then there are only a few people who are worth suspecting. Lin Yi nodded.

Thats impossible. My master went into closed door cultivation long before I partic.i.p.ated in the secular worlds experiential learning. He hasnt come out yet, so he doesnt know that Ive already obtained the spirit sense gra.s.s. Moreover, he has always treated me like his own daughter, so he would never target me on this matter. Duanmu Yu shook his head decisively.

Then thats easy to say. If I remember correctly, there are only three people in your spirit leaf sect who partic.i.p.ated in the secular worlds training this time, including you, right? Lin Yi asked.

Well, besides me, there are only two junior brothers, Qiu mingchong and Xu Fei. Duanmu Yu nodded his head. Leaf spirit sect had a small number of people to begin with, and there were many requirements to partic.i.p.ate in the trial of the immemorial era. This time, they only sent three people, which was the least among all the partic.i.p.ating small sects and families.

How strong are these two? Lin Yi continued.

Qiu mingchong is at the peak of the late Foundation establishment stage. His strength is quite impressive. As for Xu Fei, although he is talented, he has only joined the sect recently. He is only at the early Foundation establishment stage. Duanmu Yus eyes lit up as he understood what Lin Yi was getting at.You mean to say

When I gave you that half of the spirit sense gra.s.s, although there were only a few of us present, there were too many people, so it wasnt strange for some information to leak out. In your sect, the most likely people to know about this situation are your two junior brothers. Of course, we cant rule out the possibility that they revealed it to others after they returned, but the biggest suspects are still the two of them. Lin Yi a.n.a.lyzed.

So, you think that the biggest suspects are Qiu mingchong and the other guy? Duanmu Yu appeared to be deep in thought.

Thats right, theres no love in this world without reason, and naturally theres no hate without reason. If theres really someone whos scheming behind your back, then there must be a scheme. Using this method, he shouldnt be able to obtain the spirit gra.s.s for the time being, so it must involve other benefits. Lin Yi didnt need to continue.

Xu Feis strength is too low and he has no grudges with me. Theres no conflict of interest between us, so he can basically be eliminated as a suspect. As for Qiu mingchong Duanmu Yu frowned and slowly said,This persons experience in the spirit leaf sect is actually much deeper than mine. When I first entered the sect, he was already second senior brother. Its just that his strength hasnt broken through all these years, so I caught up with him. Although he always appears to be very kind on the surface, Im afraid he still has some thoughts in private.

In that case, this Qiu mingchong is indeed suspicious. He incited you to hand over the spiritual gra.s.s. If you compromise and hand it over, even if there are no substantial benefits for him, it will at least cause you to suffer a big blow, so that the gap between you and him will not widen. If you refuse to hand it over like now, he will gain even more benefits. As long as the matter is blown up and he plans well, it is not impossible to take the position of the eldest senior brother. Lin Yi nodded.

Just like now, Duanmu Yu had been confined. For an exemplary figure of a sects disciples, this was already an extremely severe punishment. Especially since this might only be the beginning.

Perhaps Duanmu Yu sighed. Although she was the big sister of leaf spirit sect, she always knew that she would become a very important member of the sects higher-ups sooner or later. If everything went smoothly, she might become the successor of the sect leader in the future. At least, this was how the higher-ups cultivated her on the surface. However, she didnt have much desire for power. Even the manliness she usually showed was inclined to the chivalrous style of holding a sword and singing. She had never thought of becoming the sect leader of a sect that was old and scheming.

It was a pity that this kind of thing was not something that she could just not think about. If she did not think about it, others would think about it. For example, Qiu mingchong, who was suppressed by her. If he was a guy who deliberately wanted to climb up, then he would definitely see her as a thorn in his eyes. In this situation, it was almost logical to take the opportunity to play dirty. There was nothing difficult to understand.

What do you plan to do now? Lin Yi sat down calmly and poured himself a cup of tea. This was a place for house arrest, but other than the fact that it was a little isolated, it was pretty good. It would be considered a superior room in an Inn.

I dont know, Duanmu Yu shook his head. With her original temperament, even if she could not be considered to be decisive in killing, she would definitely be a clean and efficient person. There were rarely any moments where she would hesitate. However, the current situation had truly caused her to be in a difficult position.

Even if he could confirm that it was Qiu mingchong behind the scenes, what could he do?

Not to mention that he was locked up and couldnt get out at all. Even if there was a chance to get out, it would be useless. Was he going to confront Qiu mingchong face to face? What they used was an open scheme, and now it was all the higher-ups of leaf spirit sect who wanted the spirit sense gra.s.s, what use was it against the hostage?

To put it bluntly, Duanmu Yu only had two options at this moment. Either he handed over the spiritual awareness gra.s.s or he kept it. That was all.

There were pros and cons of handing over, and there were pros and cons of staying. It all depended on how she weighed it. Of course, Duanmu Yus character was more straightforward. She might not have really weighed it carefully before making a decision. It might be entirely based on her personal preferences.

After a moment of silence, Duanmu Yu raised his head in a somewhat embarra.s.sed and apologetic manner.You came to see me with good intentions, but I didnt expect to drag you in. Why dont

It was easy to guess what she was going to say next. If she was alone, she could continue to hold it in and treat it as closed door cultivation, but now that Lin Yi was involved, it wouldnt make sense if Lin Yi was also locked up because of her.

I wont agree if you change your mind and hand over the spirit sense gra.s.s for me. Lin Yi interrupted.

There was a big pile of spiritual sense gra.s.s in the Jade s.p.a.ce, and he didnt care about Duanmu Yus half of it at all. With their relations.h.i.+p, it wasnt a problem for Lin Yi to give him another big piece of spiritual sense gra.s.s if Duanmu Yu gave it to him. After all, they had agreed to split it in half at the beginning, but Duanmu Yu insisted on not taking it.

However, it was one thing to not care about the half of the spirit gra.s.s, but it was another to make Duanmu Yu give it up for him. Lin Yi didnt have the habit of making his friends compromise for him.
