Chapter 1009: Chapter 1010: Roadblock
“Of course, can’t you see so many spirit beasts claiming them for themselves?” Lin Yifan replied with a question.
“Then can we eat one?” Zhang Zhiyuan and his group asked.
“Sure! If you don’t want to go treasure hunting in the Central City, feel free to eat them,” Lin Yifan answered.
“Uh… well… maybe we shouldn’t eat them then.”
Compared to the Sun Fruits, they felt the treasures inside the Central City were more precious, so they didn’t dare to be hasty.
However, if they had extra Sun Fruits, they would definitely try it; unfortunately, there were no ‘ifs.’
The disciples from Cinnabar Palace only picked six Sun Fruits, so they definitely couldn’t enter the Central City, and really wanted to try the Sun Fruits to see their effects.
Actually, they originally wanted to ask Lin Yifan for a few more, to make up ten and send one person in, but unfortunately, Lin Yifan had eaten all the Sun Fruits, and it seed hopeless now.
“Mr. Lin, what are the benefits of eating Sun Fruits?” the Cinnabar Palace disciple asked.
This question stumped Lin Yifan, who then stamringly answered, “The benefits are… strengthening the body and nourishing the brain.”
“…”
A dark line appeared on the disciple’s forehead from Cinnabar Palace, speechless to the extre, what kind of benefits are those?
They felt that the truth was certainly not as Lin Yifan said, so they questioned again, “Really? Then why waste them and not share with us? You should let us in too, after all, we’ll all be one family in the future.”
“Well…you didn’t ask, so I didn’t think about it,” Lin Yifan replied.
“Sigh! Looks like we can’t gather more treasures for the Junior Palace Master!” sighed the Cinnabar Palace disciple.
“You ca here to gather treasures for the Junior Palace Master?” Lin Yifan asked in surprise.
“All the treasures we collect have to be handed over, and those useful ones will definitely end up with the Junior Palace Master, so it’s equivalent to serving the Junior Palace Master,” the Cinnabar Palace disciple explained.
That’s how harsh reality is, especially since the Junior Palace Master is favored.
“Don’t worry about that, I’ll help her gather more. But if you really want to send a representative in, I can help make it happen for one of you,” Lin Yifan responded.
No sect sends the entire team in, usually fewer than five, having one from a dium-level sect like Cinnabar Palace is already quite good.
“Really? Didn’t you eat all the Sun Fruits?” The Cinnabar Palace disciple seed to see a glimr of hope.
From the mont they entered the primordial forest and found one Sun Fruit, they knew that so among them surely wouldn’t make it into the Central City, so they had been ntally prepared.
In the end, their goal was to send one person in; now that it’s achievable, they were certainly happy.
“I still have a few more here, should be able to help you complete ten,” Lin Yifan answered and asked, “How many are you short?”
“We have six here and are short of four,” the Cinnabar Palace disciple answered eagerly.
This was an opportunity, after all, how could they not be eager.
“Just right, I have exactly four left,” Lin Yifan replied.
“Really? Such coincidence?” The Cinnabar Palace disciple found it unbelievable, almost like a dream.
“It’s just that coincidental,” Lin Yifan answered with a wide smile.
“Great! Finally, we have soone going in,” the Cinnabar Palace disciple jumped up excitedly.
Having soone go in ans they can bring out information from inside, and although there’s a 99% chance they won’t get the most important treasures, getting a few other treasures is still nice.
Long Tengyu and others watched all of this unfold; they didn’t think Lin Yifan had eaten all the Sun Fruits, assuming he must have hidden so.
But seeing no bulge on Lin Yifan’s body, they felt he really might have eaten them all.
No way Lin Yifan would hide all the Sun Fruits here and not take them, right? That’s not Lin Yifan’s style. Perhaps he planned to take them out once leaving?
Besides that, they couldn’t co up with a third reason.
Lin Yifan took out four Sun Fruits from a small pouch he carried, and gave them to the Cinnabar Palace disciples, asking them to decide who would follow him into the Central City.
With ten Sun Fruits complete, the Cinnabar Palace disciples unanimously agreed that Lin Yanping was the most suitable to be their representative.
They knew about Lin Yanping’s affection for Lin Yifan, so they decided to make it happen for her.
Lin Yanping felt a bit overwheld by their kindness, her sisters were so supportive.
In terms of seniority, many were above her; in terms of skill, many were stronger too, so no matter how you picked, it wouldn’t be her.
But just because of her affection for Lin Yifan, her sisters willingly gave up the opportunity to support her, which was really touching.
“Sister! Don’t waste the opportunity on , it’s not worth it!”
Though very moved, she remained rational. Her Realm was too low, going in would an she couldn’t protect herself, let alone gather treasures.
“There’s no unworthiness, take it and cherish it, after all, it doesn’t matter who goes in,” softly declined the higher Realm disciple from Cinnabar Palace.
“But my Realm is too low, I can’t protect myself, how can I talk about getting treasures?” Lin Yanping explained her reason.
“Rest assured, Mr. Lin will surely protect you, right, Mr. Lin?” The Cinnabar Palace disciple asked with a big smile.
“Ah? Right, right, for your Junior Palace Master, I’ll surely protect you all,” Lin Yifan replied.
He wouldn’t dare fall into that trap, so it was better to explain clearly.
Lin Yanping felt a bit downcast, with Lin Yifan ntioning “Junior Palace Master” left and right, not seeing her at all.
However, she had long known that Lin Yifan didn’t have feelings for her, so why feel disappointed.
“If I can take one more look, then just one more look!”
This was her thought, and thus she accepted the goodwill of her sisters.
After the discussion, the candidates to enter the Central City were mostly decided.
Lin Yifan planned to take four burdens inside, just thinking about it made him feel tired.
“Sigh! Why do I have to be so kind-hearted?” he secretly cursed his own nature.
Two days later, they finally reached the road 500 ters ahead of the Central City safely.
However, as soon as they stopped, so lawbreakers leapt out from the dense grass on both sides.
They were the highwayn here, specializing in intercepting weak groups.
Lin Yifan and his group added up to only about twenty people, so the bandits thought they were easy pickings and decided to act.
They were a robbery team combined from two dium-level sects, not weak, comparable to a major sect.
“This road was opened by , and this tree was planted by . If you want to pass here, leave so passage money!”
“Your bullshit, if you don’t want to die, then get the hell out of my way!” Lin Yifan shouted angrily.
