Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 768 - 724: Leng Yu

In just a moment, four of the five horsemen fell.

Only one rider was hit in the back, not fatally, allowing him to escape by sheer luck.

However, seeing the depth of the feathered arrow's penetration, everyone knew that his chances of survival were slim.

Even if he manages to flee now, he definitely won't last long.

In an instant, this unexpected victory made all the National Guardian Soldiers of Dayou excited.

As the last cavalryman fled, everyone began to wave their weapons and cheer.

But at this moment, Lin Yi, watching the field, was quite different from them.

Compared to their unrestrained joy, Lin Yi's face turned a shade of pale.

Not only that, at this moment, he even felt his stomach churning incessantly.

To put it bluntly, if he hadn't deliberately controlled it, he might have thrown up the fish-flavored shredded pork he had last night.

He forced himself not to vomit, and of course, forced himself not to look over there, not to view the situation.

As for why he hadn't left and was still here, it was because at this moment, the female General had approached and said something he couldn't ignore.

That is, where they were standing was almost backed by the Great Wall.

Hearing the cavalry formation across the way, they had been half-encircled.

This meant that they would meet the enemy in any direction they escaped.

Not only that, straying too far would lose the protection of the Great Wall behind them.

In this way, they would be attacked on both sides, making it even more dangerous.

"Many thanks to the Young Master for helping us just now!"

Suddenly, the female General clasped her fist at Lin Yi, speaking these words.

As to why she called Lin Yi as Young Master, after considerable thought, that was the conclusion the female General came to.

Originally wanting to call him Immortal, but clearly, that wasn't suitable.

After all, Lin Yi hadn't revealed his identity, indicating he didn't want to acknowledge being an Immortal.

Moreover, Lin Yi looked about her age, plus, he had discerned her female identity with a single word, thus it seemed more fitting to call him Young Master, indicating a bit of closeness.

However, due to her status as a General, she was not dressed in feminine attire but in military gear, so she performed a military salute.

Lin Yi, who was forcing himself not to vomit, slightly turned towards her upon hearing her words, meeting her gaze.

Seeing her clasp her hands in salute, Lin Yi followed suit with a slight fist gesture:

"The General is too polite; the reason I acted was not for the General specifically.

As you saw, they attacked me first; they brought this upon themselves.

I can honestly tell the General that if they hadn't attacked me, I might not have gotten involved in your matters."

Hearing Lin Yi's words, Leng Yu was visibly surprised; she hadn't expected him to say such a thing.

It was something she couldn't comprehend.

She believed that if it were anyone else, having helped her, even if not out of genuine intention, they would certainly claim the credit for themselves.

After all, it was no small favor.

Unquestionably, the lives of the more than 60 soldiers of Dayou were all saved by him alone.

Although it was tied to the unyielding spirit of the Dayou soldiers, in the face of absolute strength, such spirit was insignificant.

Naturally, Lin Yi's remarks weren't due to slow thinking or lack of prudence.

He knew well enough that it indeed was a considerable favor.

And he knew that if he admitted it, he would receive their gratitude.

But one should not forget the current situation.

Hearing the approaching hoofbeats, it was clear a more significant battle was imminent.

In such a situation, admitting he protected them would inevitably involve him further.

This meant that if the Dayou soldiers faced another crisis, would he then be obliged to help?

Not to mention disregarding their feelings, from Lin Yi's standpoint.

If Lin Yi himself harbored the thought of helping, later, if the situation went awry and he fled alone, he would not feel good about it.

For these reasons, Lin Yi said what he did.

However, after a moment of confusion, Leng Yu suppressed her puzzlement, understanding a bit why he spoke so; it was truly the demeanor of a superior being.

Or perhaps, he simply did not care for their gratitude.

Considering his unfathomable abilities, Leng Yu came to terms with it.

A flick of his finger could take a life from a hundred meters away, why would someone with such skills pay attention to them?

"In any case, it was all thanks to the Young Master's help earlier; I, Leng Yu, and my 67 men, owe you a debt of gratitude for saving our lives."

After saying this, the woman named Leng Yu again slightly bowed to Lin Yi with a fist salute.

Seeing this, Lin Yi couldn't say much more, shaking his head helplessly and gesturing for her to attend to her own matters without wasting words on him.

Of course, urging her to leave quickly was because he felt he could no longer hold it in.

Darn, while speaking with this woman, he inadvertently glanced at the battlefield.

With that glimpse, the barely suppressed churning feeling surged again.

"Alright, you attend to your matters; I'll head to the back for a bit."

After these words, Lin Yi took steps towards the tents.

Upon hearing Lin Yi going to relieve himself, a blush rose on Leng Yu's delicate face.

Although she had taken over this military camp after her father's battlefield death and had been living with these soldiers since being chased to this place.
