105: Endless charm

Haitang shook her head slightly and stared at Yang Yi with extreme seriousness.

"I only trust you."

"Aren't you on good terms with the people from the Luoyue Sect?"

"You don't trust them either?"

"I don't trust them."

"They would do anything for the Luoyue Divine Sword."

"That's why I cannot cooperate with them."

"As for you..."

"I think you are a good candidate."

"But I am all alone."

"How can I help you?"

"Even if you are willing to cooperate with me, would the others in the Duobao Pavilion be willing?"

Haitang smiled gently, revealing a hint of a mysterious smirk.

"Did you not understand what I said?"

"I said, I want to cooperate with you."

"Not that the Duobao Pavilion wants to cooperate with you."

Yang Yi suddenly realized. He had already made up his mind.

"Since you are all alone, and I am also all alone, then it would be best for us to cooperate."

The two high-fived to seal the agreement. Afterward, Haitang left Yang Yi's tent silently.

Yang Yi thought to himself that he could finally get a good night's sleep.

Just as he lay down, someone suddenly called his name from outside. It sounded like a kitten meowing softly.

"Yang Yi, Yang Yi."

He sat up and saw a woman with a graceful figure standing outside the tent.

He recognized the voice as Yue Lingxin's.

He opened the tent, and Yue Lingxin ducked inside. She gave Yang Yi a sweet smile.

"I was sent by my Revered Master."

"What did your Revered Master send you here for?" Yang Yi asked, knowing the answer.

Yue Lingxin pouted and snorted.

"Keep pretending. You know why I'm here, don't you?"

"My Revered Master wants to cooperate with you."

Yang Yi rubbed his chin, pondering, "Am I really that charming? Everyone wants to cooperate with me."

Yang Yi was full of vigilance toward the girl in front of him. She had a mischievous personality.

Even though her words sounded pleasant and her eyes were full of sincerity, she might just be deceiving him. Therefore, Yang Yi did not believe her.

He asked curiously, "Your Revered Master wants to cooperate with me. Why did he send you? Does he look down on me? Does he think I'm not qualified to talk with him?"

"No, no. Revered Master has to negotiate with others, so he ordered me to come find you. Besides, knowing that we have a good relationship, it will be more convenient to talk."

Yue Lingxin sat next to Yang Yi, giggling. She nudged him with her elbow and blinked her eyes cutely.

"Do you agree? Just agree for my Face."

Yang Yi thought to himself: How much Face do you have? We don't seem to be that familiar. We've just chatted a bit more than usual.

Furthermore, he had already agreed to cooperate with Haitang. Cooperating with the Luoyue Sect as well seemed a bit like playing both sides.

Just as he was pondering, Yue Lingxin crossed her arms, pouting with anger, and glared at Yang Yi with dissatisfaction.

"What kind of expression is that? Are you unwilling?"

Yang Yi nodded slightly. Yue Lingxin got angry. She pinched Yang Yi's arm hard, making him wince in pain.

He immediately moved to the side, staring speechlessly at this overly familiar little girl.

"First, tell me what you want me to do for this cooperation."

Yang Yi wanted to find out the Luoyue Sect's objective. Their primary goal was surely to seize the Luoyue Divine Sword. But what was their secondary goal? He wanted to hear it to see if he could gather more information.

Yue Lingxin blinked her eyes, tilted her little head to think, and then began to talk incessantly.

The general meaning was no different from Haitang's: he just had to help the Luoyue Sect at critical moments, and then everyone would split the Treasure Trove.

"Just for the Treasure Trove?" Yang Yi was somewhat surprised.

A dignified Sect like the Luoyue Sect should have plenty of treasures. Was there really a need to cooperate with others just for the treasure? Although this was also a means of self-preservation, Yang Yi knew his own standing.

He could understand cooperating with people from other Sects, but he was all alone, and his strength was not the greatest among the group. Why did they need to join forces with him?

To put it bluntly, Yang Yi was relatively weak among this group. Even if he were killed, it wouldn't matter. Cooperating with him was equivalent to taking care of him, and he would still take a share of the treasure. This was a losing deal.

Just as he was hesitating, Yue Lingxin impatiently nudged him with her elbow again.

"Have you made up your mind or not?"

"I don't have any objections, but wouldn't you be at a disadvantage?" Yang Yi asked tentatively.

Yue Lingxin rolled her eyes and snorted softly.

"We brought you here, so naturally, we have to send you back safely. What does taking a small loss matter? We can't let you come here for nothing."

Listening to Yue Lingxin, it seemed the other party intended to take care of and protect him. Since they had such good intentions, Yang Yi couldn't refuse, so he nodded and agreed.

Before leaving, Yue Lingxin stared at Yang Yi with her beautiful eyes and said, "Since you have cooperated with us, you cannot cooperate with anyone else. Do you understand?"

Yang Yi asked tentatively, "What if I cooperate with others?"

Yue Lingxin snorted, turned around, and left without saying another word.

That night, many people did not sleep; they were all talking in secret.

The next morning, many people had red eyes. It was obvious that everyone had divided into several factions and were keeping a wary watch on each other. They appeared harmonious, but in reality, undercurrents were surging.

"If there are no problems, let's go in." Someone couldn't help but look toward the entrance of the cave.

Everyone had no objections and arrived in front of the entrance. They stopped in unison with a tacit understanding, looked at each other, and no one spoke.

Everyone wanted to go in and find out what was going on, but they didn't know what dangers lay inside, and no one was willing to be the first to go in.

At this moment, an Elder from the Diancang Sect suggested letting Yang Yi go in first.

The reason for letting Yang Yi go in first was that he felt that although Yang Yi was with the people from the Luoyue Sect, he didn't have much of a real relationship with them, so no one would help him.

Others nodded frequently, thinking this was a good idea. It was most appropriate for Yang Yi to be the first to go inside.

The people from the Luoyue Sect immediately objected, but since everyone else agreed, their opposition didn't have much effect.

Haitang was also on the side, speaking for the others, seemingly wanting to push Yang Yi into the abyss first.

The crowd argued endlessly, and for a while, there was no better plan.

Just as the people from the Luoyue Sect were defending Yang Yi, Yang Yi suddenly said, "I will go in."

Yue Lingxin shuddered and tapped Yang Yi's calf with her toe, signaling that he shouldn't go in.

However, Yang Yi had already stepped inside.

The moment he turned his head, he revealed a strange smile. This smile made many people's hearts jump with fear.
