9767 Chapter 9766-
“What will it take for you to tell me?”
It was a very straightforward question-he was completely under Lin Yi’s control now, and he didn’t have any bargaining power.
Unless they used the city Lord’s mansion to threaten Lin Yi.
But from the way Lin Yi admitted to killing Qin Renjie and the Reaper squad, the city Lord’s mansion’s pressure was probably just a joke in front of this person.
In fact, it wasn’t just Lin Yi-the entire Jianghai Academy’s elite combat force didn’t feel any pressure from the city Lord’s mansion at all. It was just that they’d formed a tacit understanding over the years to stay out of each other’s business, and rarely crossed the line.
Now that the tacit understanding had been broken, naturally, no one cared about the so-called rules of the city Lord’s mansion.
Just like now, Lin Yi was wanted by the city Lord’s mansion, and they didn’t even care about it.
Now, even the second-in-command of the city lord’s estate, mu Shen, had been trampled under his feet. So what if the wanted order was pasted on his face? who in the city lord’s estate could catch him?
It can’t be that the city Lord, li songzhang, is going to personally take action, right?
It’d be fine if he could take Lin Yi down in one move, but it’d be a big joke if he ended up like God mu.
The entire city Lord’s mansion would explode on the spot.
With mu Shen’s understanding of li songzhang, he knew that the city Lord wouldn’t attack Lin Yi in public, nor would he take such a big risk for a subordinate like him. The most likely thing was that he’d just swallow his saliva and act as if nothing had happened.
Therefore, he could only rely on himself for now.
“Why don’t you just jump ship?” Lin Yi said after some thought.”I’ll leave you a place in the repeat school. ”
Mu Shen’s expression turned ugly.””There’s a limit to joking. ”
It was true that his relationship with li songzhang was not very close. Rather than saying that they were superior and subordinate, it would be better to say that they were cooperative allies with primary and secondary responsibilities.
He and his team of Heavenly Kings needed a place to stay, while li songzhang needed a strong helper. Both sides got what they needed, that was all.
However, if he were to transfer to Jianghai Academy, it would be a huge blow to the city Lord’s mansion and the ambitious li songzhang.
At that time, li songzhang would have to kill him even if he wanted to calm the people down!
If he, the traitor, did not die, the city Lord’s mansion’s prestige would be completely ruined and they would become the laughing stock of the entire Jianghai city!
“Then I’ll change my condition-you’ll stay in the city Lord’s mansion, but you’ll have to be My Spy when necessary.” Lin Yi smiled.
“What?” mu Shen’s expression changed,”you’re eyeing the city Lord’s mansion?” Is this your idea or Jianghai Academy ‘s?”
Lin Yi alone was already this terrifying, far beyond his expectations.
If the Jianghai Academy really set their sights on the city Lord’s mansion, the mere thought of it would send shivers down his spine and numb his scalp!
“It doesn’t matter whose idea it is, just tell me if we’re doing it or not.” Lin Yi said with a half-smile.
“I won’t do anything that would harm the city Lord’s mansion.”
Mu Shen snorted.
Lin Yi smiled,”don’t misunderstand. I’m not targeting the city Lord’s mansion right now. I’m just preparing for the future.”
“What do you mean?” mu Shen was confused.
“I’m not asking you to betray li songzhang right now. What you need to do is simple. Go back and do nothing, just do as you normally do, and observe li songzhang’s movements. I don’t think that’s too much for you, right?”Lin Yi said meaningfully.
“……”
“If that’s the case, I won’t make things difficult for you. But it can’t be that simple, right?”
“It’s not as complicated as you think. ”
“You’re not on the same side as li songzhang. As long as you pay attention to him and don’t let him fool you, you’ll part ways sooner or later. ”
“Hmph!” Mu Shen snorted coldly.”Don’t use such a low-level method to sow discord. The tacit understanding between the city Lord and I isn’t so fragile that a few words from an outsider will cause a crack. You’d better save it.”
“Just remember one thing, if you ever find out that you’re not on the same side as him, don’t tell anyone and contact me,” Lin Yi smiled.
“Yes.” After a long while, mu Shen nodded.”If that’s all you want, I can agree to it.”
After he finished speaking, he took the initiative to make an oath with his primordial spirit.
After all, he didn’t have any proof, and he’d be worried if Lin Yi let him go just like that.
With the constraint of a primordial spirit oath, if he went back on his word in the future, he would suffer a backlash from his primordial spirit. Even a Big Shot at the consummate level would find it difficult to withstand such a backlash. It could be said to be the most binding kind of oath.
Of course, this was a one-sided oath.
It only restricted mu Shen, but it couldn’t affect Lin Yi. Speaking of which, with the tacit understanding they had, it couldn’t restrict Lin Yi in the first place.
After all, as long as he let mu Shen go, he would have fulfilled his promise, and mu Shen would have to decide what to do.
“Alright, you can go back now.”
Lin Yi said as he retracted his rule force.
Suddenly, mu Shen felt that the countless individual cages that had been separated into different parts of his body had all opened up. The surging energy could finally fuse back into one place, and the feeling of power returned.
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow at the renewed fighting spirit.”Another match?”
Mu Shen was moved. Although he lost to Lin Yi, he didn’t think that he was weaker than Lin Yi. He just didn’t know his opponent’s trump card.
If they really fought again, he might not lose!
However, he wasn’t a fool. He could only think about it. Up until now, he didn’t even know how he lost. Let alone one more match, even if there were 100 more matches, he would still be a piece of cake.
No matter how much he desired to win, he would not do such a stupid thing that would humiliate himself.
“Let’s wait for the future. One day, I will win it back. ”
Mu Shen got up from the ground with a cold face.
With a movement of his feet, he instantly jumped out of the center of the battlefield and landed in the middle of the crowd watching the battle in the distance. Immediately, the people who were slow to realize what was going on were so scared that their scalps went numb.
Although it seemed like he had lost just now.
However, their level was too low after all, and they couldn’t see the real key to this top-notch confrontation. From the beginning to the end, there was only one person who they didn’t understand and felt was impressive.
Such a high-level battle naturally couldn’t be understood by normal people. Although it looked like Lin Yi had suppressed mu Shen, it seemed like Lin Yi had won.
But what if it was just a special posture?
What if mu Shen was using this method to exert his strength? what if the truth was that Lin Yi wasn’t stepping on him, but was sucking his foot instead? it was just like the star sucking technique in the movies of the secular world, and Lin Yi was the one being controlled?
At the very least, they would be equally matched.
Why else would Lin Yi let him go?
