Chapter 421 Who taught you the method to seal them?
"That's all we can do for now," Ye Qingshuang said. "Let's find a place to stay first, then split up to inquire, and finally return to our accommodations to exchange information."
"Should we split up?" Baijiu asked worriedly. "The Xu family has been chasing us for a while now. It's too dangerous to split up."
“We’re not going alone, we’ll go together,” Ye Qingshuang said. “Baijiu, you and Ji Changrong will go together, and I’ll go with Lin Chengtian. Lingyi will take Xiao Jinhu with him, so we don’t have to worry.”
"That's settled then," Ling Yi said decisively. "Go find a place to stay."
"Row."
The others had no objections, and after finding an inn to stay in, they split up according to their assignments.
...
When leaving the inn, Ling Yi asked the waiter for directions to the city lord's mansion. After finding out the location, Ling Yi took the little golden tiger and headed straight for the city lord's mansion.
Seeing Ling Yi head straight for the City Lord's Mansion, Little Golden Tiger asked, "Shouldn't you have asked around first? Why are you going straight to the City Lord's Mansion?"
Ling Yi chuckled and said, "Asking around outside is not as fast as asking directly at the City Lord's Mansion."
Little Golden Tiger thought it made sense, so he didn't say anything more. The two of them arrived outside the city lord's mansion in just a quarter of an hour.
There were many guards outside the city lord's mansion, and they were momentarily stunned when they saw Ling Yi arrive.
nice!
This girl is absolutely gorgeous!
As guards of the city lord's mansion, they had seen many beautiful women, but none could compare to the beauty of the girl before them. She was like the blazing sun in the sky, so bright and dazzling that she seemed capable of scorching one's soul.
The guards snapped out of their daze, their previously cold expressions softening somewhat. Just as they were about to step forward to inquire, a commotion erupted from within the mansion. Turning around, they saw a blue figure rushing towards them.
"Miss?"
The guards were stunned when they saw who it was. Wasn't the young lady locked up? How could she have escaped?
"What are you standing there for?" Just as the guards were wondering what was going on, a deep voice came from inside the mansion: "Stop the young lady!"
Upon hearing this, the guards disregarded Ling Yi and rushed to grab the woman. However, the blue figure was prepared. The moment the guards attacked, the water spirit transformed into a snake and attacked them.
The water snake swayed and, before the guards could even see clearly, coiled them into a ball. Then, it carried the entangled guards away and crashed into the arriving guards. The arriving guards were not only hit but also drenched in a cold sweat.
The woman in blue lowered her hand, looked at the group of guards who had rushed over, and her gaze fell on one of the old men: "Elder, I don't want to hurt the people in the manor, don't force me." After saying that, the woman turned to leave.
"Hai Ling!" Seeing that the woman was determined to leave, the First Elder shouted, "The City Lord said that he will take care of everything. You can stay in the manor. Why don't you listen?"
"If something happens to you, what will the city lord do?"
Hai Ling turned to the Grand Elder: "Elder, there's no other way, I have to go back, otherwise it will be too late..." which will harm Yunhai City, and then it will also harm my father.
The First Elder looked at Hai Ling, the girl he had watched grow up, his eyes filled with sorrow: "There will be a way, the City Lord will definitely find a solution. Little Ling'er, listen to the City Lord, stay obediently in the manor, okay?"
Hai Ling shook her head: "Elder, I can't stay, I must go back."
After saying that, Hai Ling stopped talking and turned to leave. But as she turned, she saw Ling Yi not far away. The moment their eyes met, Hai Ling clearly felt the thing she had locked in her abdomen with her strength surging wildly.
"Ugh..." The thing inside my body struggled so fiercely, like a starving beast that had finally seen its food and was struggling desperately to get it.
Hai Ling looked at Ling Yi: "You..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, Hai Ling felt blood rising in her throat, and immediately dared not speak again. She closed her mouth tightly and quickly walked towards Ling Yi.
Little Golden Tiger looked at Hai Ling as she approached and slurped.
Upon hearing the sound it made, Ling Yi scoffed, "Greedy tiger."
Little Golden Tiger protested: "It's not my fault, you can only blame her for smelling too good."
Upon hearing this, Ling Yi slowly replied, "The thing inside her is the same as you; it also finds me fragrant."
The conversation between the man and the beast was quite loud, and Hai Ling, who was walking towards Ling Yi, heard it clearly.
Hai Ling stopped in front of Ling Yi, raised her hand and used her spiritual power to write three words: "Come with me."
Ling Yi raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything.
Seeing that Ling Yi remained silent, Hai Ling raised her hand to write again, but before she could start, she saw Ling Yi take the little golden tiger off her shoulder. Hai Ling stopped and looked at Ling Yi, wondering what she was going to do.
Under Hai Ling's watchful gaze, the little golden tiger flew to the side and grew larger. Hai Ling couldn't speak, so she could only look at Ling Yi. But as soon as she looked over, Ling Yi grabbed her and flew onto the little golden tiger's back.
"Miss!"
When the people from the city lord's mansion saw Ling Yi take Hai Ling away, they immediately gave chase, but before they could get close, the little golden tiger flew off the ground and headed towards the inn.
On the way back to the inn, Ling Yi used the communication stone to contact the other four people and told them to wait at the inn.
Upon receiving Ling Yi's message, the four of them, though unaware of what had happened, immediately returned to the inn from their current location.
After contacting the person, Ling Yi turned to look at Hai Ling. When he saw the blue liquid spilling from the corner of her mouth, he released his power and placed it on Hai Ling's abdomen. As the power settled, the previously restless things calmed down.
As the things inside her body settled down, Hai Ling felt much better. After a while, she looked at Ling Yi and said, "Thank you."
Ling Yi looked at her and said, "What you really want to say isn't thank you."
Seeing that Ling Yi got straight to the point, Hai Ling didn't beat around the bush either: "That's true, but you helped me, so no matter how urgent it is, I should thank you first."
Ling Yi said, "You've already thanked me."
Hai Ling nodded and said directly, "Miss, I just overheard what you and the little beasts beside you were saying. You were able to detect that something was wrong with me, which is no ordinary person. Not only that, but you were also able to calm them down, which means that you not only know what's inside me, but you can also deal with them. Please help me."
After listening, Ling Yi didn't answer but asked in return, "Who taught you the method to seal them?"
Hai Ling was taken aback by his words and did not answer immediately.
Seeing her silence, Ling Yi said slowly, "You want me to help you, but I want to know who taught you the sealing technique. It's fair to exchange information for my help."
Hai Ling's eyes flickered slightly. She knew it was fair, but her situation was related to the secrets of Guangyao Academy, and she couldn't reveal it rashly.
"May I ask for something else, young lady?" Hai Ling looked at Ling Yi. "If you are willing to tell me, the City Lord's Mansion will do everything in its power to repay you."
“I don’t need you to repay me with everything. I just need you to answer the question I just asked.” Ling Yi looked at Hai Ling’s pale skin: “The method that person taught you can indeed seal the things inside your body, but you are not strong enough. Right now, those things have not broken out of your body, firstly because they are still very weak, and secondly because your flesh and blood spiritual power can temporarily satisfy them. After a few more days, when it can no longer satisfy them, they will break out of your body and devour every living person.”
After hearing what Ling Yi said, Hai Ling's face turned even paler.
She knew everything Ling Yi said. It was precisely because she knew that she wanted to go back to the academy. There were many powerful people there. If she died at the academy, the academy could hold on for a while. If she died in Yunhai City, it would be the time when Yunhai City would suffer.
The incident in Yunhai City meant that her father, as the city lord, could not escape responsibility. She did not want to implicate her father, but dying at the academy would be a different story, since the things inside her body originally belonged to the academy.
Thinking of this, Hai Ling felt even more pained and stopped remaining silent, looking at Ling Yi; "I can tell you who taught you, but this matter is related to Guangyao Academy, and you need to accompany me to the academy."
After Hai Ling finished speaking, Ling Yi immediately agreed: "Okay."
Seeing Ling Yi agree so readily, Hai Ling was somewhat surprised and felt something was off. Thinking of Ling Yi appearing outside the city lord's mansion, Hai Ling asked, "May I ask why you went to the city lord's mansion, young lady?"
Just as Hai Ling asked Ling Yi, the little golden tiger stopped. The group that had rushed back saw the little golden tiger appear in the sky and hurried up. They happened to hear Hai Ling's question. Ye Qing Shuang looked at Ling Yi and said, "Ling Yi, did you go directly to the City Lord's Mansion to inquire about the island entry permit?"
"Hmm," Ling Yi said, "That's faster."
Hearing this, Hai Ling looked at Ling Yi and understood everything.
These people were already going to the island, and she asked Ling Yi to go to the academy with her, just as they wanted. No wonder she agreed so readily.
