The other thirty-six families could kill the donkey when it was done, but he couldn't.
After all, the zongheng family's profits were already deeply tied to Lin Yi from the very beginning. If they killed Lin Yi after he'd done it, it would mean that all the returns that the thirty-six houses had promised them would go to waste.
Protecting Lin Yi's interests at this time was protecting its own interests.
The White skeleton was very clear about this point.
Lin Yi, of course, was well aware of this-he'd never thought that the guy would be so kind to him, and he was just surprised at the guy's thought process.
Such a clear-headed fellow, not to mention a group of skeletons, even among human cultivators, was a rare species.
Faced with the White skeleton's question, the higher-ups of the other thirty-six families were obviously a little embarrassed.
