Duanmu Yu still shook his head and refused,”there’s no need. I appreciate brother Lin’s kind intentions. I’ve already said that I’ll think of a way to get you guys out of here safely. There’s really no need for you to do this for me. Furthermore, to be honest, even if we were to join forces against him, there’s no chance of victory at all. It’s meaningless.”
“Senior Lin, since Senior Sister apprentice Duanmu has said so, I think we should just forget it. Perhaps without our help, she’ll be able to take to the water like a fish in water?” Health-maintenance Fei couldn’t help but interrupt. Lin Yi’s suggestion really gave him a fright-he thought that it was suicide, and he’d be the first to die since he was the weakest.
However, Lin Yi didn’t even bother with him. He turned to Duanmu Yu and said,”To be honest, I don’t want to join hands with you just for you, but for myself. If there’s a chance to get rid of that Guardian, I must give it a try no matter what.”
“What? You want to get rid of him?” This time, it wasn’t just health-maintenance Fei-even Duanmu Yu was stunned. She was just thinking about how to escape, but Lin Yi wanted to get rid of the protector right away? wasn’t this a little too crazy?
“Do you know how strong he is?” Duanmu Yu wanted to give Lin Yi some general knowledge-she’d been with the protector for a few days now, and while she’d never seen him fight, she knew the tip of the iceberg, and it was enough for her to get rid of this unrealistic and stupid idea.
This kind of monster was not something that cultivators at their level could deal with at all. The difference in strength between them was too great.
I don’t know, but I have a rough idea because I’ve fought with brain-eating insects before.” Lin Yi said. Since the protector and the brain-eating insect were on the same level, their strength was naturally similar. At most, they were different in their abilities.
“You’ve fought with a brain-eating insect? You’ll be able to escape unscathed?” Duanmu Yu was stunned once again. Although she had been in the tent the entire time, she was well aware of what had happened due to the huge commotion outside. She immediately came to a realization and said,”No wonder, no wonder it specifically wanted to track you down. No wonder you would have such dangerous thoughts. If I’m not wrong, you’re mainly here for Leng Leng and the others, right?”
“Not bad.” Lin Yi nodded. With his endless abilities, he didn’t need to worry too much even if the brain-eating bug and the protector joined forces to kill him. But Leng Leng and the others couldn’t handle a crisis of this level, so he had to strike first.
“You’re a good person, much better than most of the people I’ve met. ” Duanmu Yu said as he looked deeply into Lin Yi’s eyes.
“Ugh …” Lin Yi blushed. What was going on? she hadn’t even confessed yet and he was already being called a good person. Was she off topic?
“But even so, I still feel that it’s not reliable. The chances are slim.” Duanmu Yu’s tone suddenly changed. Even if Lin Yi could escape from the brain-eating insect, it didn’t mean that he had the confidence to face the protector, let alone kill him.
“That’s right. The chance is slim, but if we join forces, no matter how slim the chance is, it’s still a chance, isn’t it?” Lin Yi didn’t give up and continued,”If it’s just me, the chance might only be one percent, but if you’re inside, my chance can be magnified tenfold, reaching one-tenth.”
“One-tenth?” Duanmu Yu frowned.
“The success rate isn’t high, but I think it’s worth a try. Of course, if you think your plan has a higher success rate than us working together, then just follow your plan. There’s no need to force yourself.” Lin Yi said sincerely.
Duanmu Yu did not act impulsively. She had indeed carefully considered and calculated for a while before finally coming to a conclusion.”The success rate of my plan is not as high as yours, but there is an advantage. The risk of failure is far lower than that of you and me working together. If I show enough tactfulness, I will at most be imprisoned, or at least I will have no problem struggling on my last breath. But if I work with you, once I fail, I will die without a doubt.”
“That’s true. If you join forces with me, you’ll either succeed or die. There’s no third possibility.” Lin Yi nodded. If a woman was just running away from the marriage, her husband wouldn’t kill her, but if this woman was planning to kill her husband, then she’d be going all out. With the protector’s strength, Lin Yi could still escape if he made a mistake, but Duanmu Yu would be dead for sure.
Duanmu Yu was still weighing the two of them. Fei Liangyang was looking at her from the side, praying in his heart that Duanmu Yu would not agree. Otherwise, Duanmu Yu would not be the only one to be in trouble. Fei Liangyang would also be in trouble.
Fortunately, the inclination of Duanmu Yu’s words earlier was already very obvious. As the saying goes,”as long as there’s life, there’s hope.” It was always better to have a useful body than to lose one’s life in a moment of impulse. Since Duanmu Yu had analyzed the situation so clearly, he was definitely a rational and understanding person.
After a short moment, Duanmu Yu finally made up his mind.”Alright, I’ll join you.”
“…” Health-maintenance Fei almost knelt down when he heard this. Although Duanmu Yu was an understanding person, he was wrong about one thing. This woman was completely irrational.
“Are you sure?” Lin Yi asked. Although he was the one who suggested it, he didn’t really expect Duanmu Yu to agree to it. After all, it was an extremely dangerous decision for Duanmu Yu.
“Don’t worry, I’ve thought it through. Although I can still live if my method fails, I don’t want to live another day as someone who’s forbidden to dual cultivate. I’d rather die.” Duanmu Yu said straightforwardly.
“Alright,” he said. Lin Yi nodded. It was great that Duanmu Yu had come to this realization. If Duanmu Yu really didn’t agree, then he’d have a real headache.
“Then what’s your plan? let’s quickly discuss it.” Duanmu Yu immediately got to the point.
Before Lin Yi could even reply, he disappeared into thin air and turned into his spirit form, hiding in an unnoticeable corner. Before Duanmu Yu and health-maintenance Fei could react, a handsome man’s voice came from outside the tent.
“Madam, have you finished speaking to your family?” A handsome man walked in. This was his territory. It was already a rare gift for him to allow Duanmu Yu to speak to health-maintenance Fei alone. He could enter whenever he wanted to. Even Duanmu Yu had to be careful.
“I’m done. ” Duanmu Yu glanced at Fei Liangyang and suddenly said,”Since he’s from my maiden family, I don’t want him to die in this place. Can you send him out?”
