As an expert who had just advanced to the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he had mastered a defensive martial skill that could allow him to withstand an all-out attack from an expert at the peak of the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Even in Young Master Xu's eyes, it was already enough to meet the standard of concealment.
The key point was that in the past month or so, they had not found any signs on Lin Yi's body at all. He had really hidden himself well!
Little did they know that this was purely their own imagination. Although Lin Yi had many trump cards, he did not have this type of defensive martial skill. They had really thought too much this time.
"Indeed, it's all my fault for not noticing this beforehand. This brat took advantage of the loophole and caused the plan to fail. Young Master Xu, please punish me!" Meng Jueguang hurriedly apologized with a face full of regret.
Xu Lingchong's face was gloomy and he did not speak for a long time.
This time, in order to kill Lin Yi, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he had put in a lot of effort and capital. Not only did he come forward to persuade Zhao Hongbo, the fourth elder of the Blue Cloud Pavilion, he even did not hesitate to take out a Grade Four Great Recover Pill.
In the end, not only was Lin Yi completely fine, but he had also obtained a full score of the God Level just like last time. All his investment had gone down the drain.
This was not the key point. Young Master Xu's capital was lost. Even if it was the expensive Grade Four Great Recover Pill, he did not care much about it. The key point was that this time, he had lost face in front of Shangguan Laner!
Three days ago, he had already lost face in the Law Enforcement Hall, and now he had lost it again. If this went on, how would he have the face to face Shangguan Laner in the future? Don't forget that his grandfather, Xu Yuanzheng, had given him a death order to climb up the Shangguan family's high branch. Whether the Xu family could truly enter the ranks of the top wealthy families in the future depended on him alone!
Looking at Xu Lingchong's extremely unsightly expression, Meng Jueguang could not help but feel anxious. He did not even dare to breathe loudly, for fear of provoking Young Master Xu's anger.
Strictly speaking, although they did not succeed in dealing with Lin Yi, Meng Jueguang's performance was commendable. After all, from their point of view. If it wasn't for Lin Yi's powerful and evil "defensive martial skill", it would be impossible for anyone else to fail.
To put it bluntly, this was not his fault at all. He, Meng Jueguang, could not be blamed for not doing his best. He could only blame Lin Yi for being too strange.
But something went wrong. Meng Jueguang was the mastermind behind the plot against Lin Yi. If he didn't take the initiative to apologize, how could Young Master Xu get off the stage?
"Alright, it's not your fault this time, Elder Meng. So what if Lin Yi escapes this time? He's still a fish on our chopping block. He won't be able to jump around for long! "Xu Lingchong suppressed the anger in his heart. He patted Meng Jueguang's shoulder comfortingly.
After all, Xu Lingchong was the future successor of the Xu Family, taught by Xu Yuanzheng. He was not a pure hedonistic second generation. He knew that if he wanted to be successful, apart from being able to lose, he also needed to be tolerant.
And from Meng Jueguang's previous performance, he was indeed a talent. It was just that he was buried because his background in Blue Cloud Pavilion was too poor. It was just right for him to take him in and use him.
"Thank you for your magnanimity, Young Master Xu. Elder Meng will definitely go through water and tread on fire for Young Master Xu in the future!" Meng Jueguang hurriedly flattered and expressed his loyalty. He secretly heaved a sigh of relief. In this way, he could continue to look forward to his position as the Third Pavilion Master.
Being able to lose, being tolerant, coupled with his deep background and generous spending, this Young Master Xu was really a wise leader!
Xu Lingchong smiled. Then, he sternly instructed, "Although we have plenty of opportunities to crush Lin Yi like an ant, we still have to learn from this lesson. Next time, before we deal with him, we must first understand his background to avoid any accidents!"
Meng Jueguang nodded repeatedly. He patted his chest and guaranteed, "Don't worry, Young Master Xu. This time, when we go back, I will let Meng Tong, Li Zhengming, and the others find a way to understand Lin Yi's background to ensure that the next plan is foolproof."
"Good, then it depends on your performance." Xu Lingchong nodded, and his gaze immediately fell on Shanghai Laner in the distance. His headache now was how to explain to this little junior sister why he failed twice in a row!
As a dignified Young Master of Soaring Sky Pavilion, he ended up stumbling in the hands of Lin Yi, a newcomer in the secular world. This matter was really a bit unjustifiable. Fortunately, there were no other Young Masters present, otherwise, Xu Lingchong would really lose his face.
After hesitating for a long time, Xu Lingchong braced himself and walked to Shanghai Laner's side. With an embarrassed expression, he whispered, "Little Junior Sister Lan 'er, this time, because of the lack of information, Lin Yi took advantage of the loophole. But don't worry, next time, he won't be so lucky. Senior Brother, I, will definitely teach him a good lesson to vent your anger!"
"Humph!" Shanghai Laner snorted. Originally, she didn't intend to pay attention to him, but after thinking about it, she still added, "Remember to inform me next time."
"Of course, of course." Xu Lingchong hurriedly nodded in response. He was afraid that Shanghai Laner would ignore him from then on. As long as this little girl was willing to come out with him, everything would be fine.
In this way, he still had to properly thank Lin Yi. Otherwise, it wouldn't be easy to ask this little girl out. This was a good opportunity to take more contact with her, win her heart, and lay a good foundation for him to win her heart in the future!
Unbeknownst to him, Shanghai Laner was purely considering for Lin Yi's sake. If Xu Lingchong had any plans, she could know in advance and inform Lin Yi. Although it was the same as the previous two times, Xu Lingchong wouldn't tell her the specific details, but she could still get a general idea, so that Lin Yi could prepare in advance.
However, what Shanghai Laner didn't know was that Lin Yi had successfully planted two spies in Xu Lingchong's group, Zhong Pingliang and Li Zhengming. If she was included, then there would be three spies. The scale of the intelligence team was simply unprecedented. If Xu Lingchong's group could still mess with Lin Yi, then the sun would really rise from the west!
In just a short half a day, all the newcomers from the three pavilions had completed the assessment. However, the second segment was not over yet. After all, there were so many newcomers who had not recovered from their injuries!
Before their injuries were completely healed and they confirmed that they had obtained the corresponding recovery points, according to the rules, they could only stay in the main hall of the Welcome Pavilion. Otherwise, their recovery points would be counted as zero.
