Beauty and the Bodyguard

"There are not many people who know that the Divine Sense Grass is produced in the Ancient Trial Land, and there are even fewer people who know exactly that you got the Divine Sense Grass. If there are really people behind this matter, it is really questionable. These are the only ones." Lin Yi nodded.

"It's impossible. My master had gone into seclusion long before I participated in the secular world experience. He has not yet come out of seclusion. He has no idea that I have obtained the Divine Knowledge Grass. What's more, he has always treated me like his own daughter. You will never target me on this kind of thing." Duan Muyu shook his head decisively.

"That's easy to say. If I remember correctly, there are only three people from your Ye Ling sect participating in the secular world experience this time, including you, right?" Lin Yi asked.

"Well, apart from me, there are only two junior brothers, Qiu Mingchong and Xu Fei." Duanmuyu nodded. The Ye Ling sect is already very thin, and there are many barriers to participating in the ancient trial. This time, only three people were sent. It is the least among the ten small sect families.

"How strong are these two people?" Lin Yi continued to ask.

"Qiu Mingchong is at the peak of the late stage of foundation building, and his strength is quite good. As for Xu Fei, although his talent is good, his time to get started is still short, and he is only in the early stage of foundation building." Duan Muyu already understood what Lin Yi meant when he said this, and suddenly His eyes lit up: "What do you mean..."

"When I gave you the half of the Divine Sense Grass, even though we were the only ones present, after all, people have so many mouths, so it wouldn't be surprising for the news to leak out unintentionally, and among your sect, you are the most likely to know about this situation. There are only two junior brothers like you, and of course we don’t rule out the possibility of them revealing it to others after they come back, but the biggest suspects are definitely the two of them." Lin Yi analyzed.

"So you think the biggest suspects are Qiu Mingchong and the two?" Duan Muyu thought thoughtfully.

"Yes, there is no love without reason in the world, and there is no hatred without reason. If someone is really deliberately trying to mess with you behind your back, then there must be some conspiracy. In this way, he should not be able to get the Divine Sense Grass for the time being. Then other interests must be involved." After Lin Yi said this, there was no need to say any more.

"Xu Fei's strength is too low, and he has no grievances against me, and there is no conflict of interest. The suspicion can basically be ruled out. As for Qiu Mingchong..." Duan Muyu frowned and said slowly: "This person is in the Ye Ling Sect. In fact, he has much more seniority than me. He was the second senior brother when I first entered the profession. However, his strength has not broken through over the years, so he was caught up to me. Although he always behaves very kindly on the surface, in private I am afraid he is still Some ideas.”

"In this way, the suspicion of Qiu Mingchong is indeed gone. He instigated you to hand over the Divine Knowledge Grass behind his back. If you compromise and hand it over, then even if there is no substantial benefit to him, it will at least cause you to suffer a lot. Attack him to prevent you from widening the gap, and if he refuses to hand it over like now, his benefits will be even greater. As long as things get serious, it is possible to plan carefully and seize the position of senior brother. ." Lin Yi nodded.

Just like now, Duan Muyu has been imprisoned, which is already a very serious punishment for a role model of disciples of the sect, especially this may be just the beginning.

"Maybe..." Duanmuyu sighed. Even though he was sitting in the position of the senior sister of the Ye Ling Sect, he always knew that sooner or later he would become a very important part of the senior sect. If everything went well, the future might be better. She is the successor to the head of the family, at least that's how she was groomed by the top management, but she doesn't have much desire for power. Even the masculinity she usually displays is more chivalrous and chivalrous. She has never thought of becoming scheming. The head of a faction.

It's a pity that she can't just not think about this kind of thing. If she doesn't think about what others will think, for example, Qiu Mingchong, who was suppressed by her, if he is a guy who deliberately wants to get in the position, he will definitely regard her as a thorn in his side. Now this It is almost natural to take advantage of this situation and take advantage of it. There is nothing difficult to understand.

"Then what are you going to do now?" Lin Yi sat down leisurely and poured himself a cup of tea. Although this is a closed place, except that the environment is relatively claustrophobic, the rest is not bad. It is placed in an outside inn. It's considered an upper room among them.

"I don't know either." Duanmuyu shook his head. Even if her original temperament was not decisive, she was definitely clean and neat in her behavior. She rarely hesitated, but now this situation really made her a little bit confused. Difficult.

Even if it is really certain that Qiu Mingchong is behind the scenes, so what?

Not to mention that I can't get out of the confinement now. Even if I really have a chance to get out, it will be of no use. Should I confront Qiu Mingchong face to face? They were using conspiracy, but now it was the entire Ye Ling Sect’s top brass who wanted the Divine Knowledge Grass, so what was the use of confrontation?

To put it bluntly, there are only two options left for Duanmuyu at this moment, either hand over the Divine Sense Grass, or keep the Divine Sense Grass, that's all.

There are pros and cons to handing over, and there are pros and cons to staying. It all depends on how she weighs it. Of course, Duanmuyu's personality tends to be straightforward, so her decision may not mean that she has really weighed it all. Depends on personal preference.

After a moment of silence, Duanmuyu raised his head with some embarrassment and apology: "You came to see me out of kindness, but I dragged you in without thinking. Otherwise..."

It's easy to guess what she's going to say next. If she was alone, she could continue to hold on and not let go. At worst, she would treat it as a retreat. But now Lin Yi is involved. If Lin Yi is hurt because of herself, Being locked up here is unjustifiable.

"Otherwise, if you change your original intention and hand over the Divine Sense Grass because of me, I won't agree." Lin Yi interrupted.

There was a large pile of divine consciousness grass roots in the jade pendant space. He didn't care about Duanmuyu's half of the divine consciousness grass at all. Depending on their relationship, Duanmuyu handed over her half of the divine consciousness grass, and then Lin Yi continued It wouldn't be a bad idea to supply him with a large piece of divine consciousness grass root. After all, it was agreed at the beginning that it would be divided in half, but Duanmuyu insisted not to take it.

However, it is one thing to not care about half of the divine consciousness grass, but it is another thing to ask Duan Muyu to hand over half of the divine consciousness grass for him. Lin Yi has no habit of asking his friends to compromise for him.
