Currently, she was only at the peak of the early Foundation establishment stage. Her strength and aptitude were lacking. She did not even have the opportunity to train in the secular world or go through trials in the immemorial era. According to the rules, she naturally had to address Duanmu Yu as big Senior Sister.
Lin Yi nodded-Duanmu Yu’s reaction wasn’t that strange. Duanmu Yu was a famous person in the sect, and he was someone who was going to take over the sect in the future. Normal people wouldn’t be able to get close to him even if they wanted to.
“May I know your name, Sir?” The middle-aged man quickly asked after recovering from his shock.
“Lin Yi,” Lin Yi said, adding his name and background after some thought.”The green cloud School of the North Island.”
As one of the ten small sects and families, the relationship between the North Island’s Green cloud School and the leaf spirit sect could not be said to be very good, but they still had some connection. It should be more convenient to mention this identity.
“You’re Lin Yi?” The middle-aged man’s reaction was even stranger.
“What’s wrong? You’ve heard people talk about me?” Lin Yi blinked, but quickly understood. After what he’d been through in the common world, his name was already known to everyone. These people would inevitably share some interesting things with their fellow disciples when they came back, so it wasn’t surprising that they’d heard his name.
“Mm …” The middle-aged man nodded with a weird expression and didn’t say anything else. When they reached the shore, he led Lin Yi to the entrance of the pavilion on the water and told Lin Yi to wait at the entrance before quickly going in to report.
A while later, the middle-aged man came out, but Lin Yi didn’t see Duanmu Yu.
“Follow me.” The middle-aged man took one look at Lin Yi and led him to a small path beside the building.
Lin Yi couldn’t help but be surprised. At the end of the path was a long flight of stairs, not leading up but down. The point was that it was extremely deep, tens of meters deep. It should lead to the bottom of the lake.
That was not all. After reaching the bottom, there was another long tunnel. After walking in the tunnel for the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn, the middle-aged man suddenly stopped.”Senior Sister is just in front, you can go in.”
“She lives here?” Lin Yi frowned. There was an iron door in front of them, and he didn’t know what was behind it, but normal people wouldn’t like to live in such a secluded place. He didn’t realize that Duanmu Yu had this kind of habit after spending time with her.
“For now, yes.” The middle-aged man did not comment.
“Thank you,” Lin Yi nodded. Of course, he felt that something was wrong, but he came here to see Duanmu Yu. Since the other party said that Duanmu Yu was in there, there was no reason for him to stop.
Lin Yi didn’t think too much about it and pushed the door open.
The moment he crossed the threshold, Lin Yi immediately understood the strangeness of the place-formations!
Without a doubt, this was a formation-a formation designed to trap people. Lin Yi’s first reaction wasn’t to frown, but to laugh instead. He’d just arrived at the green cloud sect, and he’d already been tricked into the sky Ascension formation. Now, he’d entered another formation in the spirit leaf sect-it didn’t seem like it was a low level formation either. What was his fate?
“Lin Yi? What are you doing here?” Duanmu Yu’s joyful voice came from the front. This was a medium-sized secret room, with tables, chairs, and everything. Duanmu Yu was sitting on the bed in a daze, thinking that it was one of his fellow disciples when he heard the door open. He only reacted after seeing Lin Yi’s face, and was overjoyed.
“It’s rare to come to Nakajima, so I came to see you. ” Lin Yi said with a smile. He looked at the metal door that had closed behind him, and then looked at Duanmu Yu.”I haven’t seen you for a few months and you’ve lost a lot of weight. Are you … Going into seclusion to lose weight?”
“Pfft!” Duanmu Yu originally had a bellyful of words to say. However, after hearing these words, he immediately burst out laughing.”If you want to lose weight, so be it. Why do you need to go into seclusion? Besides, how am I fat?”
No matter how tough a woman was, she was still unable to escape the nature of a woman. Duanmu Yu would never allow himself to become a fat girl. Moreover, the word “fat” had nothing to do with her. At most, her body was more fit and beautiful. Moreover, it was the kind of fit and beautiful that belonged to the light and graceful type.
“Then why did you find such a strange place to cultivate in seclusion? Or is this the place where you usually live, your boudoir?” Lin Yi smiled. They’d gotten closer after the test, and although it wasn’t the same as Leng Leng’s group, they were like old friends.
“Do you think it looks like it?” Duanmu Yu rolled his eyes at him in amusement. Although this place was fully equipped with all kinds of furniture, it did not have any of the small decorations that a girl’s boudoir should have. There wasn’t even a decent mirror. No matter how tough she, Duanmu Yu, was it possible that she did not need a mirror. Which girl’s boudoir did not have a mirror?
“It doesn’t look like it, but it’s not impossible with your style.” Lin Yi grinned.
“I’m not that big of a deal. ” Duanmu Yu scoffed. He then explained.”This is the confinement room, it’s specially used for disciples who have committed crimes.”
“What crime have you committed?” Lin Yi asked.
“Spirit sense grass,” Duanmu Yu spat out three words.
“What kind of crime is this?” Lin Yi was even more confused.
“I don’t know why either, but the higher ups of the sect found out that I got the spirit sense grass. Someone even asked me to hand it over in public, but I refused.” Duanmu Yu said with a calm tone.
“Hand over the spirit sense grass? Your spirit leaf sect has such a rule?” Lin Yi frowned. Normally speaking, no matter what treasures a disciple obtained during the test, they belonged to the individual, and there was no such thing as giving them to the sect. There was no such thing in the common world, Sky Class Island, or the ancient martial world. Otherwise, it would be a huge blow to the enthusiasm of the disciples, and who would be willing to risk their lives for treasures?
“No, but the situation this time is special. After all, spirit sense grass isn’t an ordinary treasure.” Duanmu Yu shook his head. Although that was what she said, it was impossible for her to hand over the spiritual awareness grass just like that. It was one thing to be loyal to leaf spirit sect, but it was another to hand over what should belong to her without any principles.
“Who told you about the spirit sense grass?” Lin Yi suddenly asked.
“My master.” Duanmu Yu paused for a moment. He then immediately reacted.”You suspect that the mastermind behind this is my master?”
