Although he seemed to be a rough and reckless person, there were also times when he was meticulous. Now that he had made a move without any reason, no matter what the result was, he might not be able to gain an advantage from the higher-ups. When he went back, he would exaggerate things in front of the elder of the Green Dragon and give him an order.
There were benefits to working for the elders. Even if there was no credit, there was hard work. Without hard work, at least he could get familiar with them. In the future, if the Green Dragon wanted to promote someone, it would be considered a success if Xiong Bao's face flashed in his mind.
At that time, he would be ordered to come over and teach people a lesson, killing two birds with one stone, so why not?
Lin Yi and the others naturally didn't know what Xiong Bao was planning. After they left, they pretended to thank the Great Fire Lion for his help.
"Benefactor, this place is far too dangerous. I think we should find an opportunity to leave this place as soon as possible. I've already gathered some information in the past few days and have designed an escape route. There's a good chance that we can escape." The fire Lion pretended to talk nonsense with Lin Yi loudly and immediately lowered his voice, trying to persuade Lin Yi to escape.
"Great Fire Lion, I appreciate your kind intentions, but I can't agree to this. Not to mention that I'm not in any danger now, even if there is, I can't let you gamble with the lives of your entire clan. Alright, let's not talk about this again. Let's go back and continue to refine pills to avoid suspicion. " Lin Yi replied quickly and cupped his fists before bringing LAN Guzha and Li Zao Yi back to the thatched cottage.
The fire Lion was helpless. He wasn't the only guard around the thatched cottage. He couldn't tell Lin Yi too much. If he revealed his relationship with Lin Yi, it would only make the escape plan more difficult.
On the other side of the thatched cottage, Zheng Tianqing's face was full of regret. He had finally seen the Masters of the spirit beast clan about to make a move, but he did not expect that in the end, it would end up with nothing.
The man with the black bamboo hat and master Pao both told him not to act rashly against Lin Yi, so he naturally wouldn't do anything. However, if the spirit beast clan were to make a move, it would have nothing to do with him. Unfortunately, he was stopped by the fire Lion.
"Tian Qing, that spirit beast has a good relationship with Lin Yi. Should we expose this? This kid lost his helper?" Zheng dongjue stood by the window and whispered to Zheng Tianqing.
"Second Grandpa, please don't leave that spirit beast guard alive. They might think of running away at any time, and then we'll make a move. Not only will we have more credit, but we can also use this opportunity to hurt Lin Yi. If we tell anyone now, Lin Yi won't be hurt at all!" Zheng Tianqing waved his hand and laughed sinisterly.
He couldn't take the initiative to deal with Lin Yi, but if Lin Yi wanted to die, it had nothing to do with him. As long as the big fire Lion was still here, if Lin Yi wanted to escape, he would need to borrow the big fire lion's strength. Zheng Tianqing only needed to watch from the side and secretly push it!
"That makes sense! Tian Qing, you're so thoughtful! Let's just sit here and watch Lin Yi jump into the pit himself. Don't you think we should think of a way to give them more pressure? that way, they'll want to leave this place more, right?" Zheng dongjue was still regretting that Xiong Bao didn't make a move-Lin Yi and the others would've taken the risk to escape if he did.
"Let's just wait and see. We'd better not get involved if we can. " Zheng Tianqing was very cautious. He did not want to be involved in this. Whether it was the black bamboo hat's side or the Azure Dragon elder's side, they would not let him off easily if they found out that he was playing tricks.
The two continued to whisper, discussing how to kill Lin Yi as much as possible while protecting themselves. It was just that the difficulty was too high, and all their talk was useless.
A moment later, lang Qi came to find Zheng Tianqing. The two went to the bamboo house again to see the man in the black bamboo hat in the name of taking a walk. Lang Qi was not there when Xiong Bao came, but he still heard about the small conflict, so he asked Zheng Tianqing on the way.
Zheng Tianqing did not go into detail and only briefly mentioned it. On the way, another spirit beast also joined in. It was the helper that the previous guard leader had pulled in and the expert at the consummate level of the mountain splitting realm who later became the new guard leader.
"Brother Zheng, you know Lord Hu Ling, so I won't introduce you. This time, Lord Hu Ling wants to meet that Lord, so I need your help to introduce him to me, brother Zheng!" Lang Qi patted Zheng Tianqing's shoulder with a smile and gave him a look.
"So Lord Hu Ling is going to visit that Lord? It's my honor to help you!" Zheng Tianqing understood that Hu Ling was the same as lang Qi and wanted to find another way out. Naturally, he wouldn't reject this kind of good thing. The more spirit beasts the black bamboo hat man gathered, the more help it would be to him. It would also be more confident in dealing with Lin Yi in the future.
The only thing that puzzled Zheng Tianqing was that Hu Ling had personally witnessed his friend, the head guard of the early stage of earth-splitting realm, being slapped to death by the man with the black bamboo hat. Was this guy masochist? And he's in a hurry to seek refuge with the black bamboo hat? Aren't you afraid of being slapped to death?
"Hahahaha, why are you calling me an adult? we're all friends. In the future, we'll take care of each other and help each other. Slowly, we'll become brothers. Don't you think so, brother Zheng?" Hu Ling laughed and patted Zheng Tianqing's shoulder. They looked so intimate that if someone who didn't know the situation saw them, they would have thought that they were best friends.
"Big brother Hu is so generous! Then brother won't be polite, we'll be brothers in the future, and so will brother lang Qi!" Zheng Tianqing nodded with a smile. Since the other party had taken the initiative to express goodwill, there was no need for him to be polite.
Normally, an expert at the great circle of mountain-opening realm would not be interested in talking nonsense with a small figure at the nascent Soul Stage like Zheng Tianqing. He also knew that he had borrowed the power of the man in the black bamboo hat, but it did not matter. As long as he could borrow power, it did not matter who he borrowed it from.
The three of them quickly arrived outside the bamboo house. This was usually a restricted area for the spirit beast clan, so they were not afraid of being seen by others. Moreover, there was a divine sense shielding restriction. Unless an expert like the Azure Dragon elder forced his way in, no one would be able to detect the situation quietly.
"My two brothers, please wait here for a moment. I'll go in and see if that Lord is free." Zheng Tianqing said to Hu Ling and lang Qi with a smile, pretending to be reserved. This was also a great opportunity to show that his identity was different. Of course, he could not miss it.
"It's my pleasure. Since I took the liberty to come here today, I really don't know if that Lord has the time to meet me. In that case, I'll have to trouble brother Zheng to go in and inform him first." Hu Ling did not mind at all. He smiled and cupped his fists at Zheng Tianqing.
