Shen Yifan nodded his head honestly."The wind element perfect domain origin stone is at a higher level than the ordinary wind element domain. This is the only way I can think of. In the entire Jianghai city, it's clear that the wind element perfect domain origin stone is in du wuhui's hands. I can only look for him."
"So you're saying that I'm the one who pushed my own brother to the enemy?" Lin Yi asked, stunned.
The logistics department's auction last time was essentially a trap aimed at du wuhui. The purpose was to empty out all the foundation of du wuhui's group in advance.
Of course, du wuhui wasn't a fool. Without a genuine perfect-grade domain origin stone as bait, he wouldn't easily take the bait.
Be it the wind-type perfect territory rough stone or the earth-type perfect territory rough stone, they were all items that old man Zhao had been saving up for years. If it wasn't for the fact that he could make a huge profit, he wouldn't even reveal a single thing, let alone take them out on his own.
From the results, it was naturally a happy ending. Even after splitting the loot with Lin Yi and Shen Qingnian, he still made a lot of money.
However, it seemed like he had shot himself in the foot instead. If the perfect wind domain origin stone was in his hands, would Shen Yifan still need to defect to du wuhui?
Shen Yifan shook his head."Don't think too much about it. It's just a reason. As long as I don't give up, it'll happen sooner or later."
“……”
Lin Yi remained silent.
"You don't have to try to persuade me to turn back. You know my personality. I won't turn back once I've decided on something."
Shen Yifan concluded.
"From now on, we're enemies," Lin Yi said with a complicated look.
"I won't show any mercy, and I believe you won't either."
Shen Yifan chuckled and turned to leave. He left one last sentence behind. "I'll see you on the battlefield. "
Lin Yi was left alone on the huge Jade Mountain peak, speechless.
At the du mansion.
Du wuhui was sitting at the head of the table, and little Feng Xian was massaging his shoulders and back. Opposite him was Bai Yuxuan, who released a cloud of mist with a single palm. The mist projected the scene at the top of the Jade Mountain.
Every blade of grass and every tree was clearly visible.
The entire meeting between Lin Yi and Shen Yifan was seen clearly, even the content of their conversation was transmitted through the mist.
This was Bai Yuxuan's signature ability, mist domain, mist release.
Du wuhui was enjoying the gentle service of Xiao Fengxian as he looked at Lin Yi, who was standing alone on the peak of the Jade Mountain,"Master Bai, what do you think of this?"
Bai Yuxuan pondered for a moment."There's nothing out of the ordinary. It's unlikely that Shen Yifan used it inbetween the two. At least Lin Yi's expressions and reactions were real. I don't think they planned it beforehand."
"So Shen Yifan is worthy of our trust?"
Du wuhui's spirit rose.
Shen Yifan's value was not only in his potential, but also in the Shen family, the wind god. More importantly, Shen Yifan was the second-in-charge of Lin Yi group, and he was Lin Yi's most trusted right-hand man!
Putting himself in Lin Yi's shoes, du wuhui would've lost all his confidence in fighting Lin Yi to the death, let alone sleep if Bai Yuxuan had defected to Lin Yi.
The person who knew du wuhui's group the best wasn't him, but Bai Yuxuan. On the contrary, Bai Yuxuan was also the one who knew du wuhui's group's fatal weakness the best.
The same logic could be applied to Shen Yifan.
If Shen Yifan really wanted to join them, then he would be the sharpest knife that would be used to stab Lin Yi's group. No one could compare to his strategic value.
After personally witnessing Lin Yi's sword strike on Nanjiang King, du wuhui's heart was actually beating like a drum when facing Lin Yi. Compared to before, his chances of winning had dropped to less than 70%, but if he could obtain Shen Yifan's true loyalty, his chances of winning would immediately return to more than 90%!
That kind of temptation was simply impossible to resist.
"We can't let our guard down yet," Bai Yuxuan said."However, we can give him some benefits. Let him borrow the wind element perfect domain origin stone for two days, but we have to monitor him throughout the entire process."
"That's a good idea,"
Du wuhui nodded in approval.
Although they said that they were borrowing it, it was actually a test for Shen Yifan. They wanted to see if his injuries were really as he said, or if it was an illusion deliberately created to numb them.
It was difficult to distinguish the real from the fake just by observing with the naked eye, but once he started cultivating, he could not hide anything from them.
"As long as he's willing to take the hit, we'll be able to tell if he's sincere or not. The rest will depend on how we're going to use him against Lin Yi,"
Bai Yuxuan said with a smile.
"This is a good question, I have to think about it."
Du wuhui had just finished speaking when little Feng Xian, who was behind him, reminded,""Ninth master, do you want to see him now?"
"Of course ... I won 't."
Du wuhui laughed. He had been sitting in the ninth seat for so many years, and he had his own understanding of the emperor's techniques. Naturally, he knew how to truly tame Shen Yifan, who had delivered himself to his door.
When Shen Yifan arrived at the du mansion, he only saw Bai Yuxuan.""I want to see ninth master."
"Oh? Why do you want to see 9th master?"
Bai Yuxuan looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze.""If there's anything, you can just tell me."
"Can you represent 9th master?"
"No, but I can help ninth master with many things. If it's not particularly urgent, I can make decisions on behalf of ninth master."
As he spoke, Bai Yuxuan pushed over a wooden box, which contained the wind-element perfect domain origin stone.""Your body doesn't seem to be in good condition. I can lend you this for two days, but you have to let me look after it."
Shen Yifan was silent.
Being spied on during closed-door cultivation was an absolute taboo. Not to mention that it was almost impossible to guard against the other party's evil intentions during the process, even if there were no extra tricks, just watching the whole process itself was already a huge hidden danger.
No matter how strong an expert was, they all had a weak point and a door of life. It was just that they were hidden so deeply that outsiders could not find out. Once the entire cultivation process was open, it was impossible to hide anything.
In the end, Shen Yifan decided to accept it because he had no other choice.
Bai Yuxuan smiled with satisfaction,"also, ninth master wants you to be my assistant. How should we deal with Lin Yi group from now on? I hope you can come up with a plan as soon as possible. We can discuss it together."
"Hmph!" Shen Yifan snorted."We'll have to see if this perfect-grade territory stone is useful to me."
In other words, if it didn't work, then everything would be in vain.
"Of course," Bai Yuxuan replied.
On the other side, the host, du wuhui, was no longer in the du residence. However, he did not leave Jianghai Academy either. Instead, he had arrived at a place that was rarely mentioned by the vast majority of students. It was a place that had an extremely low sense of existence, but was of utmost importance.
In the repeating school.
As one of Jianghai's three major systems, the school of retained, along with the School Council and the Academic Council, had gathered a large number of retained students. The number of people was several times more than the other two combined!
The key was that although those who came here were all repeat students and those who failed in the past, it didn't mean that they were weak.
