Chapter 47

Lin Yi stayed in the Shufang Study, and after it got dark, he turned off the live stream.

Apart from the ten days in the real world and the day he took leave, his live streams generally ran from 8 AM to 8 PM, quite regular and consistent.

Everyone had gotten used to it.

Lin Yi thought to himself that this time, Brother Long had come with his main account, the King, and given him over a million as a gift, which really helped him a lot.

Now he had money to buy a穿越符 (穿越符: time-travel talisman) again!

Chen Long was truly his lucky star!

The low-martial world time-travel talisman required a 100-day cooldown period. Even if Lin Yi had the gold coins to buy it now, he couldn't use it and could only stay in the Forbidden City and live stream.

To be honest, not only were the viewers getting tired of the Forbidden City, but Lin Yi himself had also lost interest. Every day was just walking around, boring!

Fortunately, this time there were some new elements, like Xiaoyan, Zhiwei, and Jinsuo. It wouldn't be too boring, right?

At this moment, Erkang, Er Tai, and Prince Yongqi had already changed into black clothes, covered their faces, and were preparing to secretly investigate the Kunning Palace.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "I'll go with you, so I can help out."

The three of them exchanged glances, a bit suspicious. Secretly investigating the Kunning Palace was no joke. But then they thought, this person is Xiaoyan's brother, who managed to disguise himself as a eunuch and successfully enter the palace to find Xiaoyan. He must be quite capable.

"Alright!" Erkang nodded, unwilling to waste a moment, his heart hanging on Zhiwei.

"Be careful," Xiaoyan, Jinsuo, and a few other eunuchs and palace maids all looked worried.

Yongqi comforted them, "Don't worry!"

Lin Yi, Erkang, Er Tai, and Yongqi took advantage of the night and headed for the Kunning Palace.

Lin Yi went along for two reasons: one, to join in the fun and find it interesting, and two, to see how strong Erkang, Er Tai, Yongqi, and the so-called imperial guards really were.

They seemed to be a bit inferior to experts like Hai Dafu and Chen Jinan!

Just now, he had bought a lightness skill from the system store.

"Golden Goose Skill: Basic lightness skill of the Quanzhen Sect.

Price: 50 gold coins."

This was the first time Lin Yi had bought a skill from the system store. After confirming the purchase, a large amount of information flooded his mind, and he immediately mastered the Golden Goose Skill.

This was a basic lightness skill of the Quanzhen Sect, which Ma Yu, a Taoist priest of the Quanzhen Sect, had once taught to Guo Jing. Although it was a basic lightness skill, if practiced to a high level, it was also incredibly powerful.

The power of this lightness skill not only depended on practice and insight but also on the user's own strength.

People like Yin Zhiping and Zhao Zhijing learned the Golden Goose Skill, and so did Guo Jing and Zhou Botong. The same lightness skill could have vastly different effects depending on the person.

Those who had mastered it and had deep inner strength could walk in the air for thirty-seven steps, which was truly astonishing and unparalleled.

Although Lin Yi had learned the Golden Goose Skill thoroughly through the system and reached a high level, his inner strength was too low, only three years' worth. He was far from achieving the astonishing and unparalleled power.

Even so, he was far superior to mediocrities like Yin Zhiping and Zhao Zhijing, having fully grasped the Golden Goose Skill.

Lin Yi chose to buy a lightness skill to protect himself. With a gun and ammunition, his offensive power was sufficient, but his "defense" and "dodging" were still lacking.

A single projectile from a martial arts expert could likely end his life.

For "defense," Lin Yi had no good methods for the moment, so he focused on "dodging." The Golden Goose Skill was his choice.

With this lightness skill, he could freely dodge in combat, and activities like climbing walls and escaping would be no problem.

Now his skill list had an additional "Golden Goose Skill," and his gold coins had decreased from 148 to 98.

Fifty gold coins!

Lin Yi was quite pained, but he really wanted to buy the "Lingbo Weibu" (凌波微步) for 900 gold coins, which he couldn't afford!

That was the ultimate lightness skill. Once he learned Lingbo Weibu, he could even dodge bullets, and it didn't require much inner strength. It was said that using Lingbo Weibu could even increase one's inner strength.

Looking at the "900 gold coins" price, Lin Yi could only fantasize and daydream.

Even the Golden Goose Skill, he could only afford because of the unexpected encounter with Chen Long, who had generously donated a million. Otherwise, he could only stare helplessly.

At this moment, Lin Yi, Erkang, Er Tai, and Yongqi had already arrived at the outer wall of the Kunning Palace.

Erkang, Er Tai, and Yongqi were all at the level of imperial guards, and Erkang was originally a bodyguard.

The three of them leaped over the three-meter-high palace wall.

Lin Yi smiled slightly, spread his arms, and leaped up, flying over the courtyard wall as lightly as a large goose, landing without a sound.

Erkang, Er Tai, and Yongqi were all shocked by his lightness skill, which made heavy tasks seem light. When they leaped, they inevitably made some noise.

"Xiao Jian" was as light as a goose, moving gracefully in the air and landing softly, creating a particularly striking visual impact.

This lightness skill made them feel inferior and gave them more confidence in the mission.

The four of them, following the plan they had discussed, split up and explored the Kunning Palace room by room.

Lin Yi used the Golden Goose Skill, moving lightly and quickly, and soon reached the back courtyard. Through the window, he saw Zhiwei.

It wasn't surprising that he recognized Zhiwei immediately, as an old nanny was torturing her with needles!

This immediately made him realize that this nanny was Rong Nanny! The scenes from his childhood TV shows were so similar to what he was seeing now!

Even the fat Rong Nanny looked somewhat like the one in his memory.

Rong Nanny held a golden needle and poked it into Zhiwei's fingernails, "Tell me, what are you plotting with Lady Ling, the Furen family, Xiaoyan, and Prince Yongqi? Speak!"

"You have a fox-like appearance and do despicable things... Speak! Did Lady Ling, the Furen family, and Prince Yongqi send you to the palace to bewitch the Emperor?"

Rong Nanny picked up another golden needle and forcefully poked it into Zhiwei's arm, "If you don't speak, your pretty face will be gone! Your skilled fingers will be gone!"

Zhiwei cried out, tears streaming down her face, "I really didn't... I only have filial thoughts for the Emperor... Heaven! Heaven, save me..."

Lin Yi winced, this damn... it hurt just to watch! Needle after needle piercing the flesh!

What he had seen as a child was a TV show, but now it was real!

Shaking his head, Lin Yi walked towards the main door. Suddenly, two figures darted out and swung their fists at him.
