Lady, let me explain.

Chapter 107 The Heroine's Slender Waist

Xia Qingqing's ability to withstand pressure isn't good either...

Lin Yi immediately felt an urge to humiliate Yuan Chengzhi.

But after weighing the pros and cons, he calmed down.

"I only have one condition."

Xia Qingqing looked up at him.

Lin Yi said, "I want the Golden Serpent Camp!"

Xia Qingqing's expression changed drastically... Lin Yi ignored her completely and continued, "After rescuing Yuan Chengzhi, I need you to help me take control of the Golden Serpent Camp."

“That’s impossible!” Xia Qingqing said firmly. “The Golden Snake Camp is Brother Yuan’s life’s work. How can I give it to you? Brother Yuan will not agree to it. I can’t make that decision.”

Lin Yi sneered, turned around and said, "Then you'd better find someone else. Goodbye."

Xia Qingqing was stunned for a moment: "You planned all of this. You've been plotting to seize the Golden Serpent Camp for a long time, haven't you?"

Lin Yi looked at her and smiled, "So you mean I colluded with the imperial court and the Eastern and Western Depots to specifically plot against Yuan Chengzhi?"

Xia Qingqing was speechless for a moment... She had never heard of Lin Yi having any connection with the imperial court, and their actions were so secretive that Lin Yi was unaware of them, so there was no possibility of him informing on her.

Lin Yi sneered: "Isn't it because you guys are too stupid and Yuan Chengzhi is too weak that you gave me this opportunity? That's right, I had thought about seizing the Golden Snake Camp before. Yuan Chengzhi is useless. If I take control of the Golden Snake Camp, what difficulty would it be to destroy the Qing Dynasty?"

Xia Qingqing said, "You are shameless and despicable, how can you talk so confidently about forcibly taking things from others?"

"So what?" Lin Yi said, "In this chaotic world, the victor is king... Now that I've said this much, it's up to you whether you agree or not."

Xia Qingqing hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, I promise you. When are you going to rescue Brother Yuan?"

Lin Yi said, "Have you thought this through? If you want to play along for a while and then go back on your word later... hehe, don't blame me for not warning you, I'm not a soft-hearted person."

Xia Qingqing's face paled, clearly her thoughts had been exposed. She said solemnly, "As long as you can rescue Brother Yuan, what does the Golden Snake Camp matter?"

"Okay!" Lin Yi walked outside. "Let's go."

Xia Qingqing was overjoyed and quickly followed.

Lin Yi took out a mask and covered his face. He still had to make a living in Shenjing, so he had to keep up the act.

The two leaped onto the roof, flashed out of the courtyard, and sped through the night in the capital city, heading towards the Court of State Ceremonial.

Xia Qingqing had mastered the art of moving in countless ways and possessed impressive lightness skills, but in Lin Yi's eyes, it was as slow as a tortoise crawling.

"Your lightness skill is too slow, let me carry you."

As Lin Yi spoke, he put one arm around Xia Qingqing's slender waist.

Xia Qingqing froze, gritting her teeth inwardly: "This lecherous scoundrel, still saying he has no intentions, is utterly shameless... But now I need his help, so I can only endure it for the time being. If I turn against him, all my efforts will be in vain."

But Xia Qingqing was soon astonished by Lin Yi's lightness skill...

Lin Yi, carrying her, moved at an undiminished speed, swiftly across the high and low houses, as if floating on the wind. When he landed, his feet didn't touch the ground, and in an instant, he had leaped across the entire street.

Xia Qingqing was terrified: "Brother Yuan's internal strength is profound, and his movements are incredibly skillful, but compared to this lecherous thief, he is far inferior..."

Lin Yi traveled at breakneck speed, so fast that even the Imperial Guards and the Military Commanders patrolling the streets didn't need to dodge him; they only felt a gust of night wind pass by.

A moment later, they arrived at a courtyard.

Xia Qingqing looked down at the pitch-black courtyard and frowned, asking, "Are you sure Brother Yuan is here?"

This is intelligence that Lin Yi obtained from Prince Xin.

Lin Yi looked down and smiled faintly: "We'll know once we go down and take a look."

Xia Qingqing glared at him: "Then why aren't you letting go?"

"Miss Xia's waist is so graceful, it's hard to let go of her." Lin Yi smiled and released her. "You lecherous scoundrel!" Xia Qingqing gritted her teeth.

Just then, a soft, feminine voice suddenly came from down in the courtyard: "Why don't you two come down for a chat so late at night?"

In an instant, lights came on throughout the courtyard, and torches and lanterns lit up the eaves and corridors, illuminating the area brightly.

Xia Qingqing's expression changed. The other party had anticipated that someone would come to rescue Yuan Chengzhi and had already laid an ambush!

"We've fallen into a trap! Run!"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "In the face of absolute strength, no scheme can succeed."

The firelight suddenly shone over, and everyone in the courtyard looked over.

On the rooftop, two figures stood, one of them slender and resembling a woman, looking slightly flustered.

The other man stood tall and elegant, one hand behind his back, his posture graceful. The night wind filled his blue robe, exuding a refined and unrestrained air.

"Who's standing on the roof, acting all high and mighty? Watch out, you might get struck by lightning!"

Wei Xiaobao swaggered out of the main house, his head still wrapped in a strip of cloth, from which blood seeped.

Yu Zhenzi, who was standing next to him, was pale, and it seemed that his internal injuries had not yet healed.

The door to the east wing opened, and a man stepped out, wearing a black gauze hat, a dark cloak, and an embroidered dragon and flying fish robe. He was surrounded by a group of servants from the Western Depot. It was Yu Huatian.

A group of people also emerged from the west wing, dressed in various clothes and armed with different weapons, seemingly a group of martial arts practitioners... Lin Yi's eyes swept over them, and the two leading figures turned out to be Hao Mi and Bu Tai, the Twin Fiends of Hejian.

Even if Guo Jing and Qiao Feng were here, they might not be able to escape. No wonder Yuan Chengzhi suffered a setback.

Wei Xiaobao grinned lewdly at Xia Qingqing: "Little lady, come down quickly. Be careful not to fall while climbing so high. Your Brother Yuan is perfectly fine."

"You Qinggou, you'll die a horrible death!" Xia Qingqing cursed.

Yu Huatian waved his cloak and sneered, "Is the newcomer Sect Leader Lin? Hiding your head and tail is not the behavior of a hero."

"Lin Yi?"

The martial arts masters, including the Hejian Duo, looked surprised.

Wei Xiaobao's smile froze, and he couldn't help but shrink back.

The shadow Lin Yi cast on him was too great, and Wei Xiaobao was momentarily alarmed. He thought to himself, "We outnumber him, why should we be afraid of him? This is the perfect opportunity to take revenge!"

But Wei Xiaobao didn't dare to step forward. He just coughed twice, signaling Yu Huatian to make a move.

However, Yu Huatian had fought Lin Yi before and was defeated. In the years that followed, Lin Yi's record kept improving, proving that his martial arts skills were getting better and better.

Although Yu Huatian's martial arts skills have improved significantly in the past few months, he is still wary of Lin Yi.

Lin Yi remained silent on the rooftop.

Yu Huatian was only testing the waters; even if he was certain in his heart, he had no concrete evidence.

Lin Yi said calmly, "Take care of yourself. If you can't handle it, go back and wait. Don't hold me back."

Without waiting for Xia Qingqing's reply, he leaped down and pounced on Yu Huatian like a peregrine falcon hunting its prey.

Tonight, Yu Huatian has come to our door willingly, saving us the trouble of going to the palace to kill someone.

Still seven or eight zhang away, Lin Yi raised his left hand and unleashed a palm strike, "Regretful Dragon."

Yu Huatian had no intention of taking the hit head-on. He grabbed someone next to him and threw them up, then quickly used his movement technique to dodge.

boom!
The blood mist exploded, filling the sky like a light drizzle.

With a palm strike, all the West Depot experts who had been surrounding Yu Huatian collapsed and died instantly, with only one or two experts with profound internal strength surviving.
