"Phew … But no matter what, this matter has passed peacefully. Little Miss is fine, and I can rest assured. Pay close attention to the follow-up news, and report to me at any time!" Elder Li finally let out a sigh of relief in his heart …
It seemed like Lin Yi had arranged everything perfectly, and he'd worried for nothing! He was an elder of the Dark Palace, and he wasn't even as good as that little bodyguard of Lin Yi!
"Yes!" Shadow thirteen replied, "Don't worry, Elder Li, but we, the Dark Shadow Group, can only gather information. We can't deal with sudden incidents …"
This shadow thirteen was one of Elder Li's confidantes, so he didn't have to worry too much about what he said.
"That … I'll have to fight with the Grand Elder again, but you've brought good news this time- it seems like this Lin Yi's background is strong enough!" Elder Li exclaimed, "If he really is that strong, then I'm sure the Grand Elder won't stop us …"
Shadow thirteen didn't dare say much about the internal affairs of the Dark Palace, and hung up after listening quietly.
Elder Li, on the other hand, headed to the Grand Elder's residence.
"Why are you here again?" Seeing that Elder Li had returned, the Grand Elder was immediately a little annoyed. Why was there no end to this person? His face was a little cold.
"Grand Elder, I have something important to report!" Elder Li said quickly.
"If it's about that little bitch Mengyao, then don't bother, I'm going to train." The Grand Elder interrupted impatiently.
"This … this matter concerns the Little Miss, but …" Elder Li was a little hesitant. The Grand Elder's words had blocked all the words he wanted to say.
"But what? Whether she lives or dies has nothing to do with me. "The Grand Elder waved his hand, ready to chase him away.
"Grand Elder, let me finish. It's like this- that Jin Wudi was killed!" Elder Li saw that the Grand Elder wasn't giving him any leeway, and he could only continue, "The one who killed Jin Wudi was Lin Yi's follower …"
"What do you want to tell me? Is Lin Yi's little brother very powerful? "The Grand Elder frowned." What's so strange about killing an Earth class master? Can't we kill each other? "
"Elder on the stage, Little Miss's bodyguard isn't weak. A bodyguard's underling can kill an Earth Stage master with a casual punch. What kind of strength does this underling need? According to my investigation, Lin Yi is only at the mystic stage. Why is this little brother willing to be the little brother of a mystic stage master? " Elder Li analyzed, "This Lin Yi, I'm afraid he has a certain power behind him. Maybe he's the young master of some family or sect …"
"At the level of the ancient sects and ancient families, do you think I don't know what kind of disciples there are? Do I need you to analyze it? " The Grand Elder hmphed coldly. "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're just saying that to make me think that Lin Yi has a powerful background, and for us to rope him in. But as far as I'm concerned, that Lin Yi is just a freelancer. His strength isn't enough to enter the eyes of the Dark Palace!"
"I …" Elder Li was a bit awkward- that was what he was thinking, but the Grand Elder had seen through him. "Even so, it's not easy to have this kind of strength in the common world- as the saying goes, one more friend means one more path. Even if he's a freelancer, it's still worth it for us to rope him in! Now that he's shown such talent, if other sects get him first … "
"Hmph, he's just a mortal freelancer, he's not worth the Dark Palace recruiting. But this Pengzhan is quite skillful- where did he find such a bodyguard?" The Grand Elder said faintly, "But, you should investigate this Lin Yi's background. If he's really worth it, then we might as well give him some benefits. Whatever Pengzhan can give him, we can give him too!"
"Ah? Grand Elder, you mean ….. poaching? "Elder Li was taken aback.
"Didn't you tell me that this person has potential, that he's worth recruiting?" The Grand Elder said faintly.
"But … Miss …" Elder Li paused, wondering if he'd done something unnecessary. He'd shot himself in the foot. Now Lin Yi was being watched by the Grand Elder, and he was being roped into the Palace of Darkness. What about Mengyao's safety?
"Are you trying to recruit a talent, or are you worried about the safety of a little bastard?" The Grand Elder was a bit annoyed, "Alright, you can leave. People like you who care about this and that every day, people who are blinded by love, don't even think about the future of the Palace of Darkness. All you care about is that little bastard! If that little bastard can turn the Dark Palace into a first-class ancient sect, I'll even be her servant, otherwise there's no way! "
"Then I'll take my leave …" Elder Li sighed helplessly, but he didn't dare to say anything more. The Great Elder was an extremist, as long as it was good for the Dark Palace and could promote the development of the Dark Palace, then she would sacrifice her life for it. But if it wasn't good for the Dark Palace, she wouldn't give in even if she was beaten to death.
Elder Li, on the other hand, was afraid that he'd said too much, and the Grand Elder insisted on recruiting Lin Yi to the Dark Palace. That way, where would Pengzhan find another powerful bodyguard? So Elder Li decided to leave first. He turned and left the Grand Elder's place.
In the Xiao family villa, Pi Zhishan sat on the sofa with a serious face. Beside him was Xiao Ji and Xiao Ben, while Xiao Wangba and Xiao Wangdao stood respectfully on the side.
By now, Xiao Ji and Xiao Ben had learned of what had happened, and they were both shocked. They thought that with Jin Wudi, Lin Yi's family would be dead for sure, but in the blink of an eye, it was Jin Wudi's death. Even the young master of House Pi had lowered his head, didn't that mean that Xiao family was in danger?
"Master Pi, you can't just leave Xiao family like that! We offended House Chu this time to help House Pi get some wealth! You can't just leave us like that!" Xiao Ji was afraid that House Pi would just leave them be. They were a hidden house, and if they just left, Lin Yi wouldn't be able to find them.
