The next instant, the tree exploded and split into countless wood chips that flew out.
And at the broken end of the tree trunk, there was still frost gathered.
"Wow, Brother Lin Yi is amazing!" Qing Tan exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this. "It seems that Brother Lin Yi is definitely going to win first place in this Qingyang Town Hunting Competition!"
Lin Yi returned to Qing Tan's side and affectionately patted her head. "So, not only did our Qing Tan not cause any trouble, but she actually helped me a lot, and even helped the Lin family."
"Hehe, that still depends on Brother Lin Yi's own efforts."
Qingtan was overjoyed to realize that she had truly helped Lin Yi. Then, her dark eyes darted around, and she said sweetly, "Since that's the case, shouldn't Brother Lin Yi reward me?"
"Tell me, what reward do you want?" Lin Yi asked casually.
Qingtan looked at Lin Yi expectantly, blinked her eyes and said, "These few days are the end of the month, and the trading fair in Qingyang Town is very lively. Brother Lin Yi, would you like to come with me for a stroll?"
"Okay, then I'll go shopping with you," Lin Yi said with a smile and nodded in agreement.
"Great, thank you, Brother Lin Yi, let's go..."
When Qingtan heard Lin Yi agree, she was overjoyed and naturally took his arm as she spoke.
The girl has a lively personality and loves lively places. She also hopes that Lin Yi will play with her.
However, she was very sensible and would not disturb Lin Yi's cultivation for fun.
Today, with her help, Lin Yi saved time in breaking through to the Earthly Realm, so he can naturally take some time to relax.
Qingtan thought to herself.
Lin Yi smiled and let Qing Tan pull his arm as they walked quickly out of the Lin family compound.
……
The trading fair is located in the North Square of Qingyang Town.
That place happened to be the intersection of many forces. Because there were too many disputes, no one could handle it alone, so the trading hall came into being.
Within the trading community, various factions possess their own industries, creating a peculiar balance.
When Lin Yi and Qing Tan arrived at the gate of the trading market, they were greeted by a dense crowd of people, with a constant cacophony of noise.
You have to speak louder here.
"How lively!" Qingtan said excitedly, pulling on Lin Yi's arm.
There are so many people here that if you don't hold hands, you might get separated from each other.
"Let's go in," Lin Yi smiled slightly, took Qing Tan's small hand, and led her into the trading hall.
Lin Yi and Qing Tan were already drenched in sweat after strolling down one street.
However, Qingtan was in high spirits, her delicate little face flushed with excitement, making her look incredibly cute.
Their final steps finally stopped in front of a magnificent pavilion at the end of a street.
This place is considered a rather high-class location within the trading community. Here, the Lei and Xie families, the Mad Blade Martial Arts School, and even the Lin family all have shops.
The goods sold inside the pavilion are of a higher quality than those sold on the street outside, and of course, they are also more expensive.
After Lin Yi led Qing Tan into the pavilion, he first exchanged two Yang Yuan Stones for a sum of gold and silver before continuing to explore.
If Lin Yi happened to come across something that Qing Tan liked, he would buy it for her without hesitation.
Although Qingtan said she didn't want to spend any money, she was actually very happy.
After strolling around for a while, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of them—it was Lin Shan.
At this moment, Lin Shan's face was bruised and swollen, his hair was messy, and he looked quite disheveled.
Lin Shan also noticed Lin Yi and Qing Tan. His expression shifted for a moment, but he still forced himself to walk over and called out to Lin Yi, "Brother Lin Yi."
"What is it?" Lin Yi glanced at him and said calmly.
Lin Shan's face flushed slightly as he said, "We ran into those bastards from the Xie family, and then Sister Lin Xia was bullied, so we fought with them..."
"Alright, lead the way, we can talk as we go," Lin Yi said, interrupting Lin Shan before he could finish speaking, already understanding what was going on.
No matter how the younger generation of the Lin family competes, when facing the Lei and Xie families, they must naturally unite against them, especially since Lin Xia, who has a good relationship with their family, is also there.
Lin Shan was somewhat surprised to see Lin Yi agree so readily, but he quickly recovered, nodded emphatically, and then hurriedly turned around to lead the way.
Lin Yi held Qing Tan's small hand and followed behind Lin Shan, striding forward.
While on his way, Lin Shan recounted the whole story again.
Upon learning that Lin Xia had been ambushed and slapped, Lin Yi frowned. Qing Tan was also furious. Among the Lin family members, apart from their own small family, Lin Xia was the closest to her.
"Hurry up," Lin Yi urged Lin Shan, then quickened his pace considerably.
Chapter 13 If you keep making noise, I'll slap you again!
Deep within the attic lies a gravel plaza.
The square is surrounded by bustling shops selling all sorts of spiritual herbs, weapons, armor, martial arts manuals, and even demon crystals.
Those who can come here are generally people with some status in Qingyang Town.
At this moment, a number of people were gathered around the perimeter of the square, watching the two groups of people inside.
Both sides were relatively young, yet the tense atmosphere was exceptionally intense.
The two sides in the conflict were Lin Xia and her younger generation from the Lin family, and Xie Ting and her younger generation from the Xie family.
When Lin Yi and his two companions arrived, the two sides had already clashed.
On the Lin family's side, there were only two people at the seventh level of Body Tempering: Lin Xia and Lin Hong.
On the Xie family's side, besides Xie Ting, there are two others at the seventh level of Body Tempering.
Furthermore, the Xie family has more younger members, so the Xie family clearly has the advantage at this moment.
Seeing this, Lin Yi didn't say much and directly chose to help.
As soon as Lin Yi joined the battlefield, he was like a tiger among sheep, unstoppable!
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
"..."
Soon, a series of heavy thuds echoed across the gravel plaza.
The once-arrogant younger generation of the Xie family, except for Xie Ting, were all lying on the ground like dead dogs, screaming and howling in agony.
It was only then that Xie Ting noticed the change in the situation. She quickly took a few steps back, creating some distance between herself and Lin Xia, her face turning pale.
Lin Xia and the other younger members of the Lin family naturally noticed Lin Yi's arrival, and their faces showed surprise and delight.
"Lin Yi, what are you doing here?" Lin Xia looked at Lin Yi with a face full of joy.
Lin Yi smiled and said, "Qingtan and I came to the market and met Lin Shan. He told us about what happened here."
"Lin Yi, thank you," Lin Hong said, walking over and thanking Lin Yi with a complicated expression.
Lin Yi glanced at him casually, then looked at Lin Xia, "Sister Lin Xia, now only Xie Ting is left. Should you go and fight her back, or should I teach her a lesson for you?"
"What...what do you want? My sister and the others are right here. If you don't want to get beaten up, you'd better get your people out of here!"
Hearing Lin Yi's words and seeing Lin Xia's malicious gaze, Xie Ting's face paled slightly, and she said in a somewhat fierce but inwardly weak tone.
"Do you even have the right to speak here?" Lin Yi sneered, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and raised his hand.
"stop!"
The instant Lin Yi raised his hand, a clear and urgent shout suddenly rang out, and a gust of wind shot directly towards Lin Yi.
"Snapped!"
Lin Yi ignored it completely, dodging the incoming gust of wind with a slight movement, and at the same time slapped Xie Ting hard across the face.
"what!"
Xie Ting let out a scream as she was sent flying backward, crashing onto the Xie family junior who had landed earlier.
On this gravel plaza, many onlookers stared wide-eyed at the sight, their faces filled with disbelief.
A series of astonished gazes fell upon Xie Ting, who had been slapped away by Lin Yi. The once noisy gravel square suddenly became deathly silent.
The silence lasted for a while, and some people came to their senses, looking at Lin Yi with some strange expressions.
Xie Ting was, after all, a delicate and beautiful woman, yet Lin Yi acted without the slightest hesitation, showing remarkable decisiveness.
Lin Xia and the younger members of the Lin family felt a surge of pleasure as they watched Xie Ting being slapped away by Lin Yi.
Over the years, they have suffered a lot of bullying from the younger generation of the Xie family.
Today, I finally got to hold my head high!
"You hit me? Do you dare to hit me?"
Xie Ting stood there stunned for a long time. After she came to her senses, she staggered to her feet, covered her burning cheek with one hand, stared at Lin Yi with a ferocious look, and screamed.
"If you keep making noise, I'll slap you again!" Lin Yi's eyes turned cold, and he raised his hand again. Xie Ting was so frightened that she staggered back.
Lin Yi turned to look at Lin Xia and chuckled, "Sister Lin Xia, why don't you go and give her a few more slaps?"
"I say, isn't that enough?"
Before Lin Xia could speak, a cold voice suddenly came from not far away.
Those watching in the gravel square instinctively made way for them.
A young girl dressed in a fox fur coat was seen walking with light steps. She looked quite noble and resembled Xie Ting. She was none other than Xie Yingying, the number one genius of the Xie family.
"sister!"
Upon seeing Xie Yingying appear, Xie Tingting's eyes immediately reddened, and she cried out in a voice trembling with sobs.
When Lin Xia and the younger members of the Lin family saw Xie Yingying arrive, their expressions became somewhat solemn.
"Your name is Lin Yi, right? Your previous actions were very bad. Sometimes, recklessness can cost your family."
Xie Yingying stared at Lin Yi with her clear, bright eyes, her calm voice carrying a hint of coldness.
"Either fight or get out. Why all this nonsense? Are all the Xie family members good at talking?" Lin Yi glanced at Xie Yingying casually and said indifferently.
