Chapter 54: Chapter 43 Lin Yue Visits_2

Besides, once his current situation was known by Crow, Crow would most likely guess that he might have a Mysterious Object in his possession.

Just as Lin Yue had said.

In this city, the circle of Cultivators is only this big.

He understood that the secret of the incomplete Mysterious Object was about to be impossible to conceal. All he could do was hurry to grow and gain the strength to deal with the danger. Until then, the Mysterious Object should be kept hidden for as long as possible.

After hunting down the Fierce Beast Biao, though he had earned money, he had also become famous. Coupled with Yang Yilong deliberately adding to the flames... it seemed things were getting a bit tricky.

"How should I deal with the matter of the Mysterious Object?" Li Yi weighed in his mind.

But soon, a flash of inspiration struck him.

Of the two harms, choose the lesser.

The secret of the incomplete Mysterious Object couldn’t be exposed, but the matter of the Boxing Techniques could be.

Using the matter of the Boxing Techniques to cover up the Mysterious Object would work. As long as that was established, the matter of the incomplete Mysterious Object might continue to remain hidden.

Thinking of this.

Li Yi composed himself and immediately said, "Given my Cultivation Value, naturally it wouldn’t be possible to enter the Spirit Medium Realm in a short time. But after a trip to the danger zone, I had some special opportunities. Not only did my strength improve, but I also learned a set of Boxing Techniques."

Speaking of which, he briefly mentioned the incident of rushing into Ghost Street to learn Boxing Techniques.

"Boxing Techniques from an unknown world? What kind of Boxing Techniques are so powerful that they allowed you to kill a Fierce Beast with your bare hands? Can you demonstrate it to me?" Lin Yue’s eyes lit up instantly, and she became very excited.

But soon, she realized her own recklessness and immediately said, "No, Boxing Techniques are valuable. You shouldn’t demonstrate them. I am afraid I won’t be able to resist learning them covertly."

"It’s okay. This Boxing Technique was already targeted by Yang Yilong before I demonstrated it to Sister Lin. You’re not the first person to see this Boxing Technique," Li Yi added another piece of information.

Lin Yue was both shocked and angry, "Him? How is that possible? He actually targeted your Boxing Techniques. What was the outcome?"

Given her understanding of Yang Yilong, she didn’t think he would do such a thing.

Li Yi shook his head and said, "Yesterday, when I was about to leave, the elevator was manipulated and sent me alone to the underground training ground. Yang Yilong was there waiting for me. Judging by the situation, if I didn’t hand over the Boxing Techniques, I probably wouldn’t have made it out of the building. Although he started by asking to buy it, I didn’t name a price. I merely demonstrated it for free, and that’s how I was able to get away."

"What? That really happened."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue immediately got angry, her face turning a bit flush, "Damn it, Yang Yilong really had the nerve to talk about buying it. Isolating you at the underground training ground is clearly putting pressure on you, coercing you. Whether you sold it willingly or not, he was forcing you to sell. What’s his strength now, and what’s yours? This deal is completely unequal."

"In that situation, who would dare to name a price."

"I’m really blind, thinking Yang Yilong was a generous good man ruled by honor. I didn’t expect that he too couldn’t control himself over a set of Boxing Techniques."

"Fine, good, very good, he’s not only bullying you by doing this but also slapping me, Lin Yue, in the face. Li Yi, I’ll remember this. I’m considering this feud with him fully established." Lin Yue was extremely embarrassed and regretful, even more regretful that she had ever introduced Li Yi for the job.

No wonder Yang Yilong was willing to buy the Fierce Beast at double the price.

Now in the Cultivation Circle of Tianchang City, all Cultivators praise Yang Yilong for being generous and trustworthy. Yet, he doesn’t mention that he learned a set of Boxing Techniques from Li Yi for free.

Li Yi said, "A set of Boxing Techniques right in front of you, ready for the taking, who wouldn’t be tempted? To be honest, I was lucky to leave unscathed."

"Yes, some people are just like that. Normally everything is fine, but when the stakes are high enough, some hidden traits are revealed," Lin Yue said. "Li Yi, what you did then was very correct. In that situation, it wouldn’t have been right to name a price and sell the Boxing Techniques. You had to bow your head and impart the Boxing Techniques for free, so he would have to think about his reputation and not make another move on you."

"If you got greedy and asked for hundreds of millions, he might agree on the surface, but once he has learned the boxing techniques, that could change."

"You’ve placed him on a high pedestal, and Yang Yilong is a proud man, who, having obtained the techniques, would naturally be willing to let you go."

At that moment, Lin Yue broke out in a cold sweat for Li Yi.

She knew what kind of person Yang Yilong was, so the moment Li Yi appeared in the underground training arena, it meant that Yang Yilong had already broken his own principles. If he really wanted to buy, he would only go through her as the intermediary to negotiate with Li Yi.

This way was out in the open, without any hint of coercion, unlike meeting Li Yi alone personally.

Therefore, a Yang Yilong who had crossed his own bottom line could have been capable of doing anything at that point.

Luckily, Li Yi was really sensible, teaching the boxing for free and blocking Yang Yilong completely.

"But before I left, Yang Yilong said he owed me a favor, telling me I could ask him for help if I ever needed it," Li Yi added. He didn’t exaggerate, only relayed what had happened for Lin Yue to analyze.

"He owes a favor? Pah." Lin Yue, a young woman, really spat a mouthful of saliva onto the ground in response.

"Having obtained a set of boxing techniques that could be passed down in a family or even used to open a school, charging twenty million per membership, and easily making billions—does Yang Yilong’s favor equal this amount of money? He should really take a good look at himself in the mirror. Qin Qing is really blind to follow him."

"Uh..."

Li Yi, staring at the spit on the ground, hadn’t expected Lin Yue to become even angrier about this than he was.

Lin Yue paced back and forth in anger: "No, I’ve thought about it, and I can’t swallow this. I’m going to tell Qin Qing about this and spread the word about Yang Yilong’s forceful dealings to ruin his reputation."

"Sister Lin, do you know that woman with the green vertical pupils?" Li Yi asked, surprised.

"Yes, what about it?" Lin Yue stopped in her tracks and looked at him.

Li Yi said, "I heard from a security guard named Zheng Fei at Yang Yilong’s company that Qin Qing tried to cover for Yang Yilong and was heavily injured by an extraordinary creature. Several of her vertebrae were shattered, and her condition is critical. I heard that Yang Yilong is contacting major medical companies to find a cure. Maybe it’s best not to disturb Qin Qing at this time."

"What, there’s such a thing? How come I didn’t know about it? Yang Yilong hasn’t released any news about this," Lin Yue exclaimed, suddenly widening her eyes.

Li Yi shrugged: "I’m not sure either, maybe it’s for confidentiality."

"No, that’s not right."

Lin Yue frowned and pondered as she spoke: "If that’s all there is to it, there was really no need for Yang Yilong to hide the news about Qin Qing’s injury and the arrangements for her treatment. With such a serious injury, the cost of treatment would be enormous. Given the Yang Family’s style, they would definitely publicize this to build momentum for Yang Yilong and enhance the family’s reputation. After all, they didn’t hesitate to spread the word about Yang Yilong spending twenty million to buy your prey, and Qin Qing’s situation is far more critical than your twenty million."

"Unless..."

Li Yi, catching on to her line of thought, responded: "Unless Yang Yilong has decided not to spend a lot of money on Qin Qing’s treatment, so he’s keeping her injury under wraps and using my case to divert everyone’s attention, letting people overlook the fact of Qin Qing’s injury, since not many knew about it."

"No, that’s impossible, Yang Yilong couldn’t possibly do such a thing," Lin Yue’s expression changed dramatically, shocked by her own speculation.

"Who knows? Anyway, it has nothing to do with me," Li Yi said: "And Sister Lin, you are only speculating. Maybe it’s not like that."

"Let’s wait a few days and see if things turn out as I suspect," Lin Yue’s gaze flickered, deciding to wait and see.

She never imagined so much would happen in just a few days.
