The elegant man saw that Bai He didn't say a word, so he obviously acquiesced to this sentence. At that moment, he raised his head and glanced at the crescent moon in the sky, and his eyes became surprisingly cold.
Bai He looked at the elegant man calmly and asked, "Why?"
The elegant man's face showed no sadness or joy, and said: "These people have unknown origins and it is difficult to trust them."
I have to say that what the elegant man said is indeed true. Bai He and Qin Yi just met for the first time, and they didn't even understand Qin Yi's past in depth.
It would be a bit hasty to entrust him with such an important task.
Hearing the elegant man's rebuttal and reasons, Bai He was not unhappy at all. Suddenly, a storage ring appeared in his hand and handed it to the elegant man.
"This is?"
The first time he saw the storage ring, the elegant man's everlasting face suddenly became anxious. He quickly took the ring from Bai He's hand. Like Bai He before, he used his spiritual consciousness to probe into it.
Did some research.
After a moment, he withdrew his consciousness, and the excitement on his face could not dissipate for a long time: "Is this brought by that young man?"
Bai He nodded and said: "Perhaps, he will be hunted down by the two sects because of the storage ring in your hand. I want to ask, if he really has malicious intentions, why would he return the things intact?"
As Bai He said, if Qin Yi is really malicious, he can hand over the things to any one of the three five tripod sects. Not only can he avoid pursuit, but he can also get many rewards.
The elegant man said: "Perhaps he just wants to return the things and ask for payment from us?"
Bai He took a deep look at the elegant man, and obviously he could see that the elegant man did not mean any harm in his words.
In the final analysis, it is for the sake of the academy that elegant men have to be more cautious and do not hesitate to speculate on other people's thoughts with the greatest malice.
Soon, Bai He said: "If he really asks us for payment, what do you think should be done?"
The elegant man thought for a moment and said: "This thing is really important to the academy. Now, if it can return, the price is certainly not worth mentioning."
Bai He smiled and said: "In fact, the young man didn't mention a word about reward. He told me that all he wanted to do was fulfill his promise to a dead friend."
The elegant man fell into deep thought, and his deep eyes looked increasingly elusive under the moonlight.
After a long time, he finally said: "So, this young man is a trustworthy person. However, I still reserve my opinion. After all, the origin of this person is unknown, not to mention that the academy is now in a state of survival.
You must be careful in everything.”
"Don't worry, I'm measured."
Bai He nodded and said in an extremely calm voice: "Besides, it is precisely because it is a matter of life and death that I want to take a gamble."
The elegant man suddenly withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Bai He. In his deep eyes, he didn't know what he was thinking about.
After a while, he finally spoke and said: "If I remember correctly, your eldest disciple should be about to break through to the fifth level of Tao Fei Realm, right?"
It can be seen that he still holds a negative attitude towards Bai He's idea.
Bai He nodded, but there was no trace of relief on his face. Instead, he said with concern: "My disciple is indeed very talented. It's just..."
The elegant man chuckled lightly and said: "The academy has gone through a hundred years of hardships, and those who can be left behind now are all trustworthy."
Bai He did not deny this. However, he still shook his head: "I can certainly see my disciple's loyalty to the academy. However, his personality is stubborn and extreme, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to become a great disciple.
It has to be reused, but it is never worthy of being entrusted to it."
The elegant man said: "In that case, I respect your choice. However, time is running out. If I read correctly, that young man should only have a cultivation level of the second level of Tao Fei Realm, right?"
The cultivation level of the second level of Tao Fei Realm is not low.
However, if compared with the strongest disciples of the three major Five Cauldron Sects, the gap is obvious.
Bai He chuckled lightly and said: "In terms of strength, there is no problem. If he can't even withstand this test, I'm afraid he is destined to be a mediocre person."
The elegant man was noncommittal and said: "Great Elder, I have to say that I admire your courage more and more. It seems that the survival of the academy depends on whether you lose or win this big gamble."
After saying this, the figure of the elegant man suddenly blurred. The whole person was like a ray of moonlight, completely disappearing from sight, and no trace could be found again.
Without his companion, Bai He still did not leave. He stood on the roof with his hands behind his back, letting the cold moonlight shine on him. Soon, he seemed to be lost in thought and did not move for a long time.
…
The sky gradually gets brighter.
The sunlight actually gave the huge and slightly deserted academy a little more life at night.
However, the silence all around cannot be concealed at any cost.
After a night of practice, Qin Yi's physical condition returned to its best, and his cultivation level also increased significantly.
Perhaps it was the chance coincidence last night that stimulated the mysterious sky fire in his body to the maximum extent. The aura on his body now actually matched the mysterious sky fire a little more.
Perhaps, in the near future, he will be able to use the mysterious sky fire to activate stronger moves.
Thinking of this, Qin Yi couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"Are you awake?"
Sensing movement from behind, Qin Yi stopped practicing and turned to look at Lu Yu and Lu Yu who were slowly getting up behind them.
"hiss!"
It seemed that it was because of his injuries last night. When Lu Yu stood up, the expression on his face was extremely ferocious, and the pain on his body made him gasp.
In comparison, Ning Qiancheng seemed much calmer. Although his eyebrows were furrowed, he never groaned.
"Junior brother, where are we?"
Upon noticing the unfamiliar environment around him, Ning Qiancheng immediately became vigilant.
After being oppressed by Feng Yongnian last night, he fell into a coma. He had no idea what happened after that.
Qin Yi smiled easily and explained: "Senior brother, don't worry, we are in Yin Yang Academy now. For the time being, we are safe."
"Yin Yang Academy?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yu jumped up from the bed. It seemed that all the remaining injuries on his body disappeared at this moment: "So, I can go and see Senior Duanmucheng now?"
After saying that, he quickly found a piece of clean clothes from the storage ring, put them on, and washed himself hurriedly. He tried to put himself in the best possible condition and leave a good impression on Duanmucheng.
After doing all this, Lu Yu stepped forward directly and prepared to go out.
Qin Yi laughed and tried to dissuade him: "Brother Lu, if you go out now, do you know the way? Don't worry, a senior will come over soon and take you to see him."
As soon as he finished speaking, there were footsteps outside the door.
