Lady, let me explain.

Chapter 109 Leaving Beijing
Lin Yi returned to his residence without disturbing anyone and began to regulate his internal energy.

He activated the Nine Yang and Nine Yin True Qi to heal his internal injuries, gradually entering the state of returning to emptiness and clarity.

Chongyangzi possessed profound internal strength and powerful palm strikes, causing Lin Yi internal injuries that were neither severe nor minor.

If an ordinary person suffers this internal injury, even with the help of a skilled doctor, it would take at least ten days to half a month of recuperation to remove the blood stasis and regulate the Qi.

Fortunately, the Nine Yang Divine Skill is a first-class healing manual, and the healing chapter in the Nine Yin Manual also has powerful effects in healing internal injuries.

Lin Yi skillfully used two healing methods, coupled with his profound internal strength, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he spat out three mouthfuls of stagnant blood, and his internal injuries were completely healed.

[Character: Wei Xiaobao]

[Level: A]

[Destiny Deviation: 100%]

[Obtained 10 A-level points...]

Lin Yi directly added it to his comprehension.

[Comprehension: 86 → 96]

With his comprehension greatly improved, Lin Yi now recalls the large and fast sword energy he unleashed during his battle with Chongyangzi, and realizes there is still room for improvement.

As he pondered, he arrived at the secluded courtyard where he had previously taken advantage of Xia Qingqing.

Upon reaching the courtyard, Lin Yi heard two distinct breathing sounds, one weak and one strong. Xia Qingqing had indeed brought Yuan Chengzhi here.

Lin Yi entered the courtyard and saw that the main house was lit. He pushed open the door and went inside.

Then she saw Yuan Chengzhi lying on the bed, breathing weakly. Xia Qingqing sat by the bedside, silently weeping.

Hearing footsteps, Xia Qingqing quickly got up and came over: "Quickly, fetch a doctor, Brother Yuan, he..."

Lin Yi said calmly, "Where can we find a doctor this late at night? I'll take a look at him."

Hearing the noise, Yuan Chengzhi slowly opened his eyes.

Xia Qingqing only then noticed the bloodstains on Lin Yi's body and was somewhat surprised: "You...you're injured? Who was that person?"

"As the central capital of the Song Dynasty, how can the capital guard against villains without skilled experts stationed there? With your strength, you still want to carry out assassinations? You are truly overestimating yourselves."

Lin Yi sat on the edge of the bed, pressing one hand on Yuan Chengzhi's pulse point. He could feel that Yuan's pulse was erratic, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and his skin was icy cold.

"Thank you... Sect Leader Lin for saving me..." Yuan Chengzhi said weakly.

Lin Yi said expressionlessly, "No need to thank me, this is just a transaction."

Xia Qingqing first recalled the transaction with the Golden Snake Camp, then she remembered Lin Yi hugging and kissing her in this room...

Her tear-streaked face flushed slightly, and she felt both ashamed and angry, and felt even more guilty towards Yuan Chengzhi.

"Sect Leader Lin, how is Brother Yuan? He's lost all his martial arts skills... Has he been poisoned?"

Lin Yi looked at her, then at Yuan Chengzhi: "Who attacked you?"

"The Western Depot... Yu Huatian!"

Lin Yi nodded; Yuan Chengzhi had indeed suffered severe torture. Lin Yi looked at him and said calmly, "You are completely paralyzed, with your meridians severed, so you have lost all your martial arts skills."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chengzhi's eyes widened, his head lolled to the side, and he fainted again.

"Brother Yuan!" Xia Qingqing rushed over.

“He was extremely weak and fainted due to emotional distress,” Lin Yi said. “The key issue is that he is currently seriously injured and will not survive the night if he does not receive timely medical treatment.”

Upon hearing this, Xia Qingqing felt dizzy and fell to the side of the bed, almost fainting as well!
Her breathing was rapid, her expression dazed, and she suddenly sat up, roaring at Lin Yi, "It's all your fault! If you had gone to save Brother Yuan sooner, this wouldn't have happened... If Brother Yuan were dead, you could forget about getting into the Golden Serpent Camp!"

Lin Yi's face darkened. Was this something a human being would say? Xia Qingqing's willful, selfish, stubborn, and morally ambiguous personality truly made her worthy of being called "the most hated female lead"!
Snapped!
Lin Yi slapped her across the face, and Xia Qingqing's roar stopped abruptly. She sat on the ground, covering her face with one hand, her pale face completely stunned.

A large hand grabbed her slender neck and lifted her up.

"What right do you have to talk to me like that? If I hadn't intervened, Yuan Chengzhi would already be dead at the hands of the Western Depot."

Lin Yi's eyes were cold as he slowly increased the pressure on her hand. Xia Qingqing struggled helplessly and suffocated for a long time.

Lin Yi abandoned her when she thought she was going to die.

Xia Qingqing collapsed to the ground, coughing violently, her body shrinking back in fear.

Lin Yi smiled, and with a wave of his hand, the thin blanket covering Yuan Chengzhi flew off. With a flick of his sleeve, Yuan Chengzhi spun up, and Lin Yi continuously pressed his fingers, striking eight vital points on him.

Now that Yuan Chengzhi is a cripple, it is actually more advantageous for him to control the Golden Snake Camp if he is alive.

Lin Yi took Yuan Chengzhi's hand and channeled his internal energy into him. In less than a quarter of an hour, he stabilized Yuan's injuries.

Xia Qingqing looked at Lin Yi, her eyes still showing some fear.

"Once he's sober, tell him about the deal with the Golden Serpent Camp."

After saying this, Lin Yi turned and left.

……

The next day, Lin Yi rushed to Prince Xin's residence.

As soon as they entered the ceremonial gate, they saw Prince Xin rushing over to greet them.

Lin Yi chuckled inwardly. Prince Xin had always treated him with courtesy, but never with such humility.

It seems that after last night's battle, his importance in Prince Xin's heart has increased even more...

"Sect Leader Lin... I am so sorry for not greeting you sooner!" Zhao Zhen bowed from several feet away.

Lin Yi returned the greeting: "Your Highness, I have come today to say goodbye."

Zhao Zhen hurriedly invited Lin Yi into the main hall and personally poured him tea. Lin Yi smiled and said, "I am but a commoner, Your Highness is too kind."

Zhao Zhen hurriedly smiled and said, "Aside from the treacherous Yu Huatian, Sect Leader Lin has made great contributions to the country and the nation. This cup of tea is just a token of our respect."

Zhao Zhen originally thought that Lin Yi was only slightly better than Yu Huatian, and such a master was rare in the martial arts world, so he tried his best to please and befriend him.

Little did he know that he had underestimated Lin Yi's strength!
Even though he was ambushed, Lin Yi fought against overwhelming odds and easily killed Yu Huatian and other West Depot agents, as well as Jianghu masters such as the Hejian Duo. In the end, he even killed the Qing envoy in front of Chongyangzi. Even when Chongyangzi took action, he couldn't stop him!

When Zhao Zhen received the message last night, he was absolutely stunned!

He thought to himself, "I must win over this kind of talent and make him my own."

The martial arts world is thriving, and there are countless masters. Even after Zhao Zhen ascended the throne and became emperor, there are still many places where masters of Lin Yi's caliber are needed to help.

"I am leaving the city today, and I ask for Your Highness's assistance."

Lin Yi made such a big scene last night, but none of the Imperial Guards came to his residence to cause trouble. It wasn't because he was masked and there was no evidence.

Firstly, Lin Yi had too much contact with the Prince Xin's mansion, and in the eyes of various forces, he was one of the Prince Xin's men.

Now that Yu Huatian is dead, the Western Depot has fallen and its members have scattered, and many struggles still rage behind the scenes.

Secondly, they were wary of Lin Yi's martial arts skills. Even if the entire Imperial Guard was dispatched, at most his women would be left behind, and Lin Yi would definitely be able to escape. If things escalated, no one knew what the consequences would be.

Zhao Zhen said, "Sect Leader Lin, rest assured, I will arrange this matter properly... Now that you have saved Yuan Chengzhi, you have done him a great favor, which will make it much easier for you to take control of the Golden Snake Camp."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Your Highness has entrusted me with this important task, and I can only do my best..."
