145: Chapter 145 The marriage certificate looms at the door, the old treaty forces my hand!

The night wind swept past the corners of the hall, carrying a hint of chill.

Deep within Yaochi Holy Land, the banquet had not yet dispersed, and the guests had not yet left.

Lin Yi sat among the guests and suddenly lifted his eyes.

In the distant night, a faint ripple of Qi flickered and vanished.

A trace of coldness flashed across his eyes.

Trying to play dirty.

Then let's collide!

He wanted to see.

What kind of commotion that piece of rotten wood, Xu Tian, could still stir up.

A breeze brushed by; the night pressed down upon the Sacred Lake, and the immortal mist at the lake's center had not yet dissipated.

The Flat Peach Banquet had also reached its end.

The previous Medical Dao disturbance had completely overturned the atmosphere of the entire Yaochi.

Now that the wine had been served several times, the most discussed topic in the venue was no longer the successor of Heaven and Earth Gate.

Nor was it the Holy Mother's strange illness, but rather that Medicinal Pill of Lin Yi's, and those four words that had already spread.

Young Medical Saint!

This title was truly resounding!

It was so resounding that when many older figures came to toast him, their tone was three parts more polite than before.

Lin Yi sat at the side of the main seat, his expression calm.

He had drunk the wine he should have.

He had accepted the favors he should have.

As for those Prodigies who took the initiative to climb the social ladder, he neither gave them a cold face nor was too enthusiastic.

He simply responded casually, maintaining a steady sense of decorum.

The more he was like this, the less others dared to look down on him.

After all, everyone now knew that this number one on the three thousand extreme dao list wasn't just capable of fighting.

He could also save lives.

If one were to really weigh it, this was more frightening than simple fists.

Chu Wanqing sat beside him, her good mood visible to the naked eye.

She picked the sweetest spiritual fruit on the table to eat.

After taking a bite, she didn't forget to hand one to Lin Yi.

"Brother Lin Yi, this is delicious."

Lin Yi took it, his other hand tapping her forehead.

"You certainly know how to pick."

Chu Wanqing smiled until her eyes curved.

"Of course."

"My taste as an Imperial Daughter has always been excellent."

As she spoke, she specifically lifted her chin.

The meaning was obvious.

Picking fruit accurately.

Picking people even more accurately.

Xu Chen was ferociously stuffing his face nearby, his mouth full, yet he didn't forget to look up and interject upon hearing this.

"Sister Wanqing is right."

"Especially when it comes to picking Big Brother, it was simply fast, accurate, and ruthless!"

Chu Wanqing burst into laughter with a 'pfft'.

Su Yuxi sat upright, her fingertips still lingering with faint Dao patterns.

After the Yaochi divine spring eye was given to her by Lin Yi.

The Innate Dao Fetus within her had reacted significantly, and she was still refining it bit by bit even now.

However, she had always disliked wearing her emotions on her face.

Even if she was happy inside, her expression remained indifferent.

But when Chu Wanqing secretly winked at her, she still gave a soft huff.

"Stop looking at me."

"Go look at Lin Yi."

Chu Wanqing was even more amused.

"Sister Yu Xi, you say that with your mouth."

"But when Brother Lin Yi gave you the spring eye just now, you were clearly very happy inside!"

Su Yuxi raised her eyes to look at her.

"You talk too much."

Xu Chen immediately chimed in.

"That's not called talking too much."

"This is called a live reenactment."

"I testify, Sister Yu Xi's ears just now were..."

Before he could finish his sentence.

A flat peach pit smashed onto his forehead.

Slap!

Xu Chen held his forehead, looking aggrieved.

"Sister Yu Xi, I'm telling the truth!"

Lin Yi couldn't help but chuckle.

Even in the depths of Shen Qingyue's eyes, a faint smile appeared.

She hadn't said much tonight.

Most of the time, she just sat quietly beside Lin Yi.

Occasionally, she would lift her eyes to look at the mist at the center of the lake, or the ancient patterns deep within the Yaochi halls in the distance.

Others couldn't tell anything, but Lin Yi could see it.

Since Xu Tian left the scene, Shen Qingyue had been quieter than before.

A bit too quiet.

He picked up his wine cup and tilted his head to look at her.

"What are you thinking about?"

Shen Qingyue was silent for a moment before speaking softly.

"Heaven and Earth Gate."

As these three words fell.

Chu Wanqing also stopped smiling.

Su Yuxi's gaze tightened slightly.

Xu Chen's action of gnawing on a chicken leg paused.

Lin Yi's expression didn't change.

"Still minding that piece of rotten wood?"

Shen Qingyue shook her head.

"He doesn't count for anything."

"I just don't have any good feelings towards the name Heaven and Earth Gate."

Her voice wasn't loud, but the coldness in her tone was very clear.

Lin Yi tapped his fingertips gently on the table, not continuing to press.

Some things didn't need to be discussed in a hurry at the banquet.

As long as the person was still by his side, they could sort it out slowly, and it would eventually be cleared up.

At this moment, Yaochi Saintess Ji Yaoguang walked over from not far away.

She had been busy with the wrap-up all day, and only now did she truly have free time.

"Saint Lin."

She bowed slightly.

"The banquet is coming to an end, and my mother asked me to come and ask a question."

"Will you all be staying at Yaochi to rest tonight, or will you be returning tomorrow morning?"

Ji Yaoguang's inquiry was quite interesting; everything was based on Lin Yi's wishes.

Before Lin Yi could speak, Xu Chen had already raised his hand.

"I suggest we stay to rest."

Ji Yaoguang was stunned.

"Oh? That is also excellent. I will have someone prepare sleeping quarters immediately."

Xu Chen was dead serious.

"Good, good, good!"

"The Eight Treasures of Yaochi, famous throughout the Three Thousand Realms, still have seven treasures left to be served!"

When these words fell, the atmosphere at the scene became a little awkward.

Ji Yaoguang was stunned at first, then laughed.

Chu Wanqing laughed until she doubled over.

Su Yuxi even turned her face away, not wanting to admit she knew this little fatty.

Lin Yi raised his hand to press down on Xu Chen's head.

"Shut up."

Xu Chen was very unconvinced.

"Big Brother, I am fighting for the team's interests!"

Lin Yi couldn't be bothered with him and turned to look at the three women.

"What do you think?"

Chu Wanqing spoke first.

"I'm fine with anything."

"However, Yaochi is indeed quite beautiful; staying another night wouldn't be bad."

Su Yuxi said indifferently:

"The spring eye just entered my body; if we travel through the night, it's indeed not as secure as resting for a night."

Shen Qingyue also nodded.

"Let's leave tomorrow."

Lin Yi then looked at Ji Yaoguang.

"Then we shall impose for the night."

A trace of joy flashed in Ji Yaoguang's eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.

"Saint Lin, you are too polite."

"It is Yaochi's fortune that you are all willing to stay."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Lin Yi again before turning and leaving.

Xu Chen watched her back and muttered softly.

"Big Brother."

"Why do I feel that the way she looks at you is not quite right!"

Lin Yi said indifferently:

"If you keep babbling, you won't get to eat the remaining seven treasures!"

Xu Chen immediately sat up straight.

"I suddenly feel her look is very normal."

"Very normal!"

"It's my own look that's not normal; I saw it wrong!"

As the group was talking.

A wind suddenly rose over the lake.

This wind was not strong.

But it was a bit cold.

It was cold, and very abrupt.

Many Cultivators around the main seat raised their heads.

The next instant.

Boom!

A sharp aura descended directly from the high sky.

The originally gentle night, the clouds churning, the mist retreating, as if torn apart by brute force.

Immediately after, several figures descended from the sky, directly pressing down over Yaochi.

In the banquet venue, the atmosphere that had originally relaxed suddenly tightened again.

Xu Chen put down the chicken leg in his hand.

"Coming again?"

Chu Wanqing narrowed her eyes and said with a look of disdain: "Hmph! This smell is truly stinking!"

Lin Yi looked up, his eyes without ripples.

There were not many who came, but none of them were good-natured.

The person leading them was none other than Xu Tian, who had left in disgrace earlier.

At this moment, the forced composure on his face was gone, and between his brows was nothing but uncontrollable gloom and irritability.

Behind him stood several old men, each with deep auras, wearing ancient robes, and bearing the unique withered green pattern of Heaven and Earth Gate on their bodies.

Especially the white-haired old man at the very front; although he was restraining his power.

Just the faint pressure exuding from him made many Prodigies' hearts sink.

Peak Quasi-Emperor!

This old thing.

Very strong!
