Beauty and the Bodyguard

After the three people entered, the other courtyard's formations opened on their own, forming a tight defense network. Here, Lin Yi was not worried that anyone would hear their conversation.

"Lin Yi, this retreat...have you gained nothing?"

After sitting down, Zhang Jinmiao couldn't wait to ask. In her opinion, with Lin Yi's talent, there was really no reason to stand still after entering the Soul Refreshing and Spiritual Pond.

In fact, Elder Shi outside the Yangshen Spirit Cleansing Pond must have seen the problem. Although Lin Yi began to ascend to the Great Perfection, the changes before and after would never be hidden from him.

It's just that Elder Shi only protects the Spirit-Cleaning Pond and has no obligation to inform others about the students' progress, and Zhang Jinmiao can't ask Elder Shi.

"Don't worry, Aunt Zhang, I have gained a lot from this retreat, and now I have made a breakthrough!"

Lin Yi had no need to hide anything from Zhang Jinmiao.

"Junior brother Lin Yi, have you already started the mountain?"

Shangguan Laner looked delighted and asked before Zhang Jinmiao.

"That's not true, but there is no difference between the strength and the mountaineering stage. You can perfectly carve a mountain at any time with just one thought."

Lin Yi explained with a smile, "Although I could open a mountain with just one thought before, it was not perfect, but it is different now. You can say that I am in front of you at the beginning of the mountain, and I am no match for you! It's just that I'm afraid that after I open the mountain, I won't be able to accompany you to school." , so I suppressed it.”

"So that's the case, then I'm relieved!"

Zhang Jinmiao nodded, his joy beyond words.

However, Lin Yi always felt that Zhang Jinmiao's happiness seemed a bit excessive. Even he himself was not so surprised.

"Junior brother Lin Yi is really awesome, he is indeed the best to me!"

Shangguan Laner was also very excited, happy that Lin Yi could stay with her.

"Aunt Zhang, do you have something to do with me?"

Everyone was on their own, so since Lin Yi had questions, he asked straight to the point.

"No, I'm very happy that you can drive the mountain perfectly in half a step!"

Zhang Jinmiao shook his head and glanced at Shangguan Lan'er imperceptibly.

Lin Yi suddenly realized that there was something he didn't want Shangguan Laner to know!

"Master, is there something you don't want me to know?"

Shangguan Laner was actually embarrassed to always focus on Lin Yi. Out of respect, she looked at Zhang Jinmiao a few more times, but she discovered a problem.

"You two little guys have really good eyesight!"

Zhang Jinmiao smiled bitterly and shook his head, thinking that his performance was too bad, and he was actually seen through by the two of them at a glance. It seems that strength and disguise are not directly proportional.

"Sure enough, something happened. Master, if you think it's inconvenient for me to be here, then I'll go in first and avoid it."

Shangguan Lan'er said so, but she didn't mean to move her feet at all.

When it comes to Lin Yi, no matter how small it is, it is no small matter. Unless Zhang Jinmiao insists, Shangguan Laner will not want to leave.

"No, it's okay if you know about this, just don't spread it out."

Zhang Jinmiao waved her hand, Shangguan Lan'er had already said so, so naturally she couldn't insist anymore.

After a slight pause, Zhang Jinmiao continued: "After the last emergency incident, there was a lot of turmoil in the college. I also reported the details of the incident to the college alliance, which also attracted the attention of the alliance."

Lin Yi knew that the so-called last incident was Shadow Forest, but Shangguan Laner didn't know. She thought it was those biochemical warriors.

In fact, the two incidents are related to a certain extent. The center is behind all the troubles. They are independent on the surface. But in the secular world, Lin Yi would definitely suggest that the cases be handled together.

"Aunt Zhang, are you under a lot of pressure? Have the college treated you..."

Lin Yi stopped mid-sentence. He really didn't know what to say.

Zhang Jinmiao was responsible for selecting places for the Yangshen Xiling Pool, but something happened in the end. She would definitely be under a lot of pressure.

Even though Zhang Jinmiao seemed to be calm, she was definitely not as relaxed as she appeared on the surface.

"Stop thinking nonsense, how can I be stressed?"

Zhang Jinmiao smiled and waved her hands, and continued what she had just said: "The nature of this incident is very bad. The Academy Alliance is very shocked and has decided to investigate the matter strictly in the entire Xuanjie sea area. The mastermind must be found out!"

"This is a good thing! With the Academy Alliance coming forward, those guys will have nowhere to escape."

Lin Yi nodded, leaving aside whether the Hidden Killing Sect will be affected. At least the center's research plan will be greatly affected by the attack of the Academy Alliance.

"Yes, it was originally a good thing, but something else happened a few days ago, which diverted the attention of the Academy Alliance."

Zhang Jinmiao shook his head slightly, with a hint of helplessness on his face.

"What happened a few days ago? How could you suppress this matter?"

Lin Yi was suddenly stunned. Although Feiyang College lost seven outstanding students this time and had little to do with the college alliance, if something happens to Feiyang College, it is very likely that something will happen to other colleges!

What things can be compared with the safety of various colleges?

"Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire!"

Zhang Jinmiao looked solemnly and looked at Lin Yi very seriously.

Lin Yi was slightly startled and nodded. He didn't know what the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire was. He had only seen it occasionally in ancient books, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Lin Yi, you are an alchemist. It is normal to have heard of the spiritual fire of heaven and earth, but Lan'er probably doesn't know about it."

Seeing Shangguan Laner's confused look, Zhang Jinmiao didn't expect this precious disciple to know, but looking at Lin Yi's look, he didn't know anything.

"I've heard of the name, but I don't know the details. What's wrong with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire? Why did the Academy Alliance divert attention?"

Lin Yi was a little confused.

What is the relationship between Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire and the Academy Alliance? Even if there is a relationship, it will not affect the search center and the hidden killing door!

"It is true that the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire has nothing to do with the previous events, but the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire has not appeared in the Xuanjie Sea Area for a long time. Naturally, I took the news very seriously this time, so other matters were temporarily put aside."

Zhang Jinmiao smiled helplessly.

In fact, the Academy Alliance did not completely give up the search, but put more energy into the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire. However, I also knew that relying on this remaining power, there would be no discovery at all.

"Master, what is the spiritual fire of heaven and earth? It seems to be very precious?"

Shangguan Laner couldn't help but speak. Among the three, she was the only one who had never heard of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, which made her feel alienated and unable to participate in the conversation.

"Aunt Zhang, I don't know very well, why don't you tell us."

Lin Yi put aside the matter of the center and the Hidden Killing Sect. It seemed that for some things, it was better to rely on others than to rely on oneself.
