There were many bloodstains on the ground, most likely from the fighters Daniya had killed. There were no corpses though, and if there were, they would've been taken care of by the forces they belonged to. Lin Yi had no way of knowing how many people were killed or injured.
The only thing he could be sure of was that Daniya hadn't been killed and had once again broken out of the encirclement after the battle.
Lin Yi was about to follow the trail when his spirit sense caught a young woman hanging on a tree in the distance. She seemed to be unconscious.
Lin Yi was heading in that direction, so he decided to take a look.
"Help! Help me!"
Lin Yi had just gotten close when the unconscious woman seemed to have woken up. She started struggling for help, but the rope around her seemed to be special. The more she struggled, the tighter it got. The woman was a martial artist, but she couldn't break free.
"Young master, save me! Young master, save me!"
The young woman's face was full of fear, but when she saw Lin Yi approaching, she immediately revealed a happy expression. She cried for help and kept twisting her body to get Lin Yi's attention.
Her clothes were torn and tattered, and her figure was excellent. As she twisted and struggled, she would occasionally reveal her snow-white skin, which added a bit of temptation.
Lin Yi turned a blind eye to it and only nodded, "Don't panic, lady. I'll put you down!"
After saying that, he took out an ordinary short knife, walked to the tree, and jumped lightly. He waved the knife and Cut the Rope. Although the rope was specially made, it could not block the sharp blade of the short knife. The Hanging Woman let out a soft cry and fell straight down.
Lin Yi reached out his hand to stop the young woman from falling. Since he saved her, he might as well be a good person to the end. Watching her fall to the ground seemed a little heartless.
But the young woman didn't even have the strength to steady herself, and she fell into Lin Yi's arms with a slight pull.
Lin Yi pushed the girl away and steadied her."Young lady, be careful! There's a pill here, you might as well take it to recuperate. "
The young woman didn't have any serious injuries, only looking a little weak. Lin Yi only took out the lowest level recover pill he had.
It wasn't just Lin Yi who couldn't use such a low-quality recover pill, the people around him didn't need it either. It wasn't easy to find one, and who knew how long it had been there, thrown in a corner and never seeing the light of day.
It wasn't that Lin Yi was stingy and didn't want to give up the high-level great recovery pill, but the young girl really didn't need it. Besides, Lin Yi felt that something was wrong after saving her.
At Lin Yi's current level, his senses were extremely sharp. If he felt something was wrong, then there must be something wrong. Plus, he was in a bad condition right now, so he had to be more careful.
He'd revealed his face at the auction, and so he'd changed it a little when he'd been in the capital. He looked like an ordinary young man now, and it made sense for him to take out a low-tier recover pill like this.
The young woman seemed a little disappointed that she didn't fall into Lin Yi's arms. She pretended to be weak and tried again, but gave up after Lin Yi held her.
She looked at the low-level recover pill in Lin Yi's hand and a slight disdain flashed in her eyes, which quickly turned into joy. If Lin Yi wasn't paying attention to her every move, he would've missed it.
"Many thanks, young master! I'm indebted to young master for saving my life and even gifting me a pill. I, Qin wunian, can't thank you enough!"
The young lady, Qin wunian, bowed in thanks and accepted the pill from Lin Yi's hands graciously. She raised her head and swallowed it. "This time, it's all thanks to young master. Otherwise, this little girl would have lost her life here. Once again, I thank young master!"
lin yi waved his hand indifferently,"lady qin, you don't have to be so polite. it's just a small matter!" anyone who sees this situation will help. it's no big deal!"
"young master is truly unparalleled in his benevolence and righteousness! you've saved this little girl's life with the ease of lifting a finger! no matter what, i have to sincerely thank young master for his help!"
qin wunian exchanged a few more pleasantries before changing the topic.""i have yet to ask for young master's name. if there's a chance in the future, qin wunian will definitely repay young master!"
"It's just a small matter, there's no need to repay me! I'm Sima Zhong da. Miss Qin can directly call me by my name!"
Lin Yi felt that Qin wunian had an ulterior motive, so he didn't leave immediately. He continued to feign civility."How does lady Qin feel now? If there's nothing serious, I'll take my leave first!"
Retreating to advance!
If Qin wunian didn't have any other thoughts, he would naturally let Lin Yi leave, but if he did, he wouldn't just let it go!
As expected, the moment Lin Yi said he was leaving, Qin wunian immediately said,""Young master Sima, I'm still a little weak. Although young master's pill is very effective, I still need some time to recover. I wonder if young master Sima can stay a little longer?"
In fact, she was cursing Lin Yi for being a blockhead-shouldn't he be asking her why she was hanging on a tree? This was the only way to start a conversation!
What did he mean by leaving immediately? I'm not pretty enough? Is it good that she doesn't have a figure? Why didn't he look attractive at all?
"i'm sorry, but this one still has matters to attend to. if young lady is fine, you can rest here for a while and recover. "
lin yi still wanted to leave, but what was qin wunian up to?
qin wunian gritted his teeth inwardly, but he still put on a bright smile.""forgive me for being presumptuous, but may i ask where young master sima is going?"
lin yi's direction was clear, but qin wunian wouldn't say it himself. he wanted lin yi to say it, in case lin yi denied it and things would change.
"i'm going to luori city! the distance is a little far, so it's inconvenient to delay. lady qin, be careful. goodbye!"
Lin Yi didn't have a map with him anymore, but he had memorized the general location and terrain. Luori city was the city they were heading to, and it was still seven or eight days away.
These seven or eight days were calculated based on the strength and speed of an initial stage martial artist. Lin Yi was now disguised as an initial stage martial artist, so it wasn't too strange to say that luori city was a little far.
"That's great! I'm going to moonshine city, and I'm going the same way as young master Sima! Can I ask young master Sima to bring me along so that I can look out for each other on the way?"
Qin wunian was overjoyed. Moonshine city was in the same direction as luori city, but moonshine city was further away and they had to pass by luori city.
She was looking for an excuse to travel with Lin Yi!
