Faced with Lingyao's offer, Chu Yi showed obvious hesitation.

On the one hand, she feared that Lingyao harbored ill intentions, and on the other hand, she feared that she was judging a gentleman by her own petty standards.

After all, if the formation could truly be repaired, the tragedy of the goddess who lived for a hundred years would not have to be repeated.

Can she really trust this seemingly harmless boy?

Will he be a wolf in sheep's clothing, or a salvation bestowed by God?

Chu Yi hesitated to make a decision, and could only look to her only trusted old friend present.

When Feng Yan met her pleading eyes, he fell silent for a moment.

Although he was not a disciple of the Divine Realm, and the Divine Realm had even killed his respected master, his master had always protected the Divine Realm while he was alive, so his master probably did not want the Divine Realm to suffer any losses.

But... what will happen if this protective formation is gone? With the strength of the Divine Realm, why would we fear invasion from foreign races?

"Then I'll leave it to you." Feng Yan immediately spoke up, making the decision for Chu Yi.

He's practically a disciple of the Divine Realm, so he's qualified to say that.

Lingyao's calm gaze swept over Chu Yi and the other person, and he said in a light tone, "If you cower in your protective shell, your potential will be limited to a certain world, and you will never be able to surpass the achievements of your ancestors."

Chu Yi paused in her steps, her mind cleared by his words.

Yes, this formation, without them even realizing it, has become a cocoon binding them.

It seems they persisted in the wrong direction from the very beginning.

The formations left by our ancestors were originally intended to protect future generations.

But they have now put the cart before the horse, sacrificing countless promising disciples in order to maintain this barrier.

They've gone mad.

It truly proves the old saying: those involved are often blinded by their own perspective.

Now that she has broken free from conventional thinking, Chu Yi feels that her horizons have suddenly broadened.

She no longer worried about whether Lingyao would cause any damage to the sect's grand formation. Even if Lingyao really had such intentions, Chu Yi thought that she would be more grateful for his actions now.

It's time to remove this heavy armor that's supposed to protect but is actually a constraint.

Chu Yi nodded respectfully to Ling Yao, saying sincerely, "I have learned a lot."

Although the other party was younger than her, there was another old saying: "The accomplished come first," and Lingyao deserved her respect.

Feng Yan nodded thoughtfully in agreement, while Yin Ming scratched his head in confusion. Ling Yao was so persuasive now. Was this the enlightenment of a high-level expert in the ninth realm?

Led by Chu Yi, the group wandered through the palace, eventually arriving at the door of a secret underground chamber.

Chu Yi raised her slender hand and quickly drew a formation. As the formation was completed, the door to the secret chamber slowly slid open to the right.

Lingyao entered the secret chamber. He slowly looked around at the array plates and array stones that formed the protective array of the sect, then walked to a certain spot and raised his hand to cover that area.

Yin Ming and the other two watched his movements with curiosity. They saw that Ling Yao's palm was filled with a mixture of light and darkness, as if he had grasped all the stars in the sky in his hand.

Yin Ming couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. Such a cool and gorgeous true energy, who wouldn't be confused by it? Everyone wants to have it!

After a while, Lingyao raised his hand. "It's done."

alright? ! !

Yin Ming stared wide-eyed in astonishment, while Feng Yan and Chu Yi also looked on incredulously.

No way, it hasn't been that long, and Lingyao already claims he's solved a problem that's been troubling people for thousands of years? Who would believe that?!

Chu Yi quickly stepped forward and, as usual, channeled spiritual energy into the formation. Surprisingly, the tingling sensation that used to flow against her spiritual energy and erode her arm had truly disappeared!

Chu Yi immediately bowed deeply to Ling Yao, her expression becoming even more devout. "Thank you for your help, young master. If you ever need anything in the future, I, Chu Yi, will obey your every command for the rest of my life!"

She knew this favor wasn't just for her, but she alone couldn't represent the divine realm. She could only guarantee that she would become Lingyao's most loyal believer.

Even though she doesn't have much time left.

"These are all the items I've accumulated over the years. If you don't mind, please accept them."

Chu Yi took off the spatial ring from her hand and presented it to Ling Yao with both hands.

These responses were a drop in the ocean, but it was all Chu Yi could offer.

The sect's protective formation has always been a secret of the Divine Realm, and she will never be able to mention Lingyao's kindness to other female disciples in the sect in the future. However, she will definitely serve Lingyao faithfully for the rest of her life.

Lingyao shook his head. "I don't need it. It's just a small favor, no need to worry about it."

He turned and walked back to Yin Ming's side, but suddenly whispered in his ear, "I have repaired the formation. This will not happen again. You don't need to feel sad for them anymore."

The warm breath brushed against the back of Yin Ming's ear, and his ears quickly turned red.

After tasting Lingyao's words, Yin Ming touched his burning cheeks, somewhat at a loss.

This means that Lingyao couldn't bear to see him sad, so he was willing to help these innocent girls.

He originally thought that Lingyao was going to take the opportunity to destroy the sect's grand formation, in order to prepare for his future conquest of the divine realm.

Unexpectedly, he got involved in this matter because of Yin Ming.

Damn, why am I feeling a little touched?

After saying that, Lingyao stood up straight without changing his expression and followed Yin Ming's side as usual.

Yin Ming sensed that he was right behind him and felt a strange sense of security welling up inside him. A smile that he himself did not realize immediately appeared on his lips.

"Now that the formation has been repaired, let's go out together."

With no reason left to stay, Chu Yi was finally free to escape this cage, and of course she had no objections.

She quickly tidied up the items in the palace and then followed Yin Ming and the other two out of the island's barrier.

Just as Yin Ming was about to dive into the water to scout ahead, Ling Yao grabbed his robe first, signaling him to wait where he was, and then jumped into the water.

This decisive action made Yin Ming feel awkward again. What to do? It's really hard not to love these quirky details.

Lingyao quickly emerged from the water.

His silver-white hair was wet and stuck to his collar, which was slightly open due to his diving movements, revealing a section of his delicate collarbone.

The contrast of red and white adds a touch of allure.

At this moment, he was gazing tenderly at Yin Ming, and even his casual wave of the hand carried a fatal allure...

Yin Ming couldn't help but lick his thin lips. A beauty emerging from the bath, he was in love!
