The Book Immortal's will to survive was incredibly strong, but clearly, he wasn't the most emotionally intelligent.
Old man, I did want to save you.
But with Lin Yu right beside us, couldn't you have waited a bit longer to say that?
"The top ten beauties? Are you interested in that?"
Lin Yu asked casually, and Lin Yun quickly replied, "Beauties? I'm sort of face blind, and I don't even know what looks good. I just know you must be the most beautiful."
Now, that's what you call emotional intelligence.
Lin Yu wasn't concerned about looks, but she was still pleased to hear Lin Yun say that.
However...
"Old sir, you can talk about it, I'm quite interested in that."
"Can you save me first? I'm barely holding on."
Lin Yun looked up at the sky and asked, "Then how should I save you?"
"Just block one bolt of thunder for me."
When the Book Immortal said this, the expressions on both Lin Yu and Lin Yun's faces changed.
Have Lin Yun take the brunt of the thunder?
