Lin Yi was at least ninety-nine percent sure that this Yu Zhe was the person who stole the star inkstone last time, and the powerful newcomer that the other was looking for was him.
What made Lin Yi slightly confused was that he had only fought with this Yu Zhe after buying the star inkstone last time. Even if this guy could determine that he was someone from the Welcoming Pavilion from the route he took when he came back, how could he be so sure that he was a newcomer and not a steward of the Welcoming Pavilion?
After all, when they fought, Lin Yi didn't hold back at all with his peak early stage Foundation Establishment strength. If it was any normal person, they would probably think of the Welcoming Pavilion steward and not consider a newcomer, right?
He read the contents of the letter once more, and saw the words' Nan Tianyong, the supervising deacon of the Soaring Pavilion '. He understood what was going on very quickly.
The reason why the other side didn't ask about the Welcoming Pavilion stewards was probably because they knew the backgrounds of these new stewards, and even high-level people like Pavilion Master Hu Yunfeng like the back of their hands, so they had already been eliminated beforehand.
After eliminating all the possibilities that could be eliminated, there was only one possibility left. No matter how ridiculous and unbelievable it was, it was often true and reliable.
This Yu Zhe had suffered such a big loss last time, so it wasn't strange at all that he was looking for him all over the world for revenge. What made Lin Yi a bit surprised was that this guy actually pulled out Nan Tianyong, his master.
If it was just Yu Zhe, even if Lin Yi was discovered, there was nothing to be afraid of. But if there was also Nan Tianyong, who he had never met before, and who was very likely to be very powerful, then this matter would be slightly more troublesome.
Shanghai Laner's letter came very timely. If she hadn't tipped him off, Lin Yi wouldn't have been able to find out about these things in such a short amount of time. And if he allowed Yu Zhe and Nan Tianyong to limit their gaze to the newcomers of the Welcoming Pavilion and keep investigating like this, after a long time. It was very likely that something would happen.
Even though when he was dealing with Yu Zhe, Lin Yi wore the Thousand Silk Mask to be safe and moved around as Second Lin from beginning to end. Even if Yu Zhe and Nan Tianyong were investigating the newcomers of the Welcoming Pavilion. They wouldn't be able to connect it to Lin Yi in a short amount of time.
But. In the end, this matter still had risks.
No matter how well Lin Er's identity was concealed, it was impossible for it to be flawless. If Yu Zhe and Nan Tianyong were to stare at him for too long, they would eventually find some clues. Once this fake identity was exposed, Lin Yi would be in big trouble.
He had already made countless enemies in the Welcome Pavilion. Meng Jueguang and Meng Tong were nearby, and Xu Lingchong and Kang Ming Ming were far away. Even people like Pavilion Master Hu Yunfeng were natural enemies. If Yu Zhe and Nan Tianyong, the Supervising Deacon of Soaring Sky Pavilion were added to the mix, how could they continue to mingle in Yingxin Pavilion in the future?
No matter how strong Lin Yi was. That was only relative to ordinary rookies. Lin Yi was also a little depressed to be targeted by so many powerful opponents with deep backgrounds!
Lin Yi's principle was that he wasn't afraid of anything, but his main goal was to focus on cultivation. It wasn't a battle of wits and courage with this group of people!
This was a real crisis. It seemed to be far away, but it was actually right in front of him. If he was a little careless, it could be a disaster in the next few days.
After receiving the news from Shanghai Laner, Lin Yi's first reaction was that a long delay would bring trouble. He had to think of a way to divert the attention of these two people as soon as possible.
However, how could he divert the attention of these two people? That was another problem.
Lin Yi couldn't come into contact with them at the moment. Even if there was a chance to meet them face to face, according to normal people's logic, it would be better to avoid it as much as possible. It was impossible to jump out and meet them face to face.
Otherwise, once they came into close contact, he might be discovered. Then he would be walking right into a trap. After all, when one's strength reached the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage, the sensitivity of one's perception was no small matter.
However, if he didn't even have the chance to come into contact with them, what could he use to mislead them? This was obviously a paradox.
"I got it!" Lin Yi thought for a moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
With his current identity as Lin Yi, it really wasn't good to jump out and take the initiative to come into contact with Yu Zhe and Nan Tianyong. Even if he did come into contact with them, it wasn't realistic to divert their attention away from the Welcoming Pavilion.
Since they had locked onto the Welcoming Pavilion, and locked onto the newcomers, they had already eliminated all other possibilities. Trying to mislead them from this angle was even more difficult. Moreover, if the traces of misdirection were too heavy, it would be easy to give them a handle.
However, even if he couldn't divert their attention away from the Welcoming Pavilion, Lin Yi still had a way to make himself disappear from their line of sight without leaving a trace.
The reason was very simple. As long as he could find a way to get them to eliminate him from the list of suspects, then no matter how long they stared at the Welcoming Pavilion in the future, no matter how detailed their investigation was, they wouldn't be able to connect it to him. Because subconsciously, they had already labeled him as impossible.
To achieve this, it wasn't difficult at all. He only needed to do one thing, and that was to get them to come and see him on their own accord before they narrowed down the list of suspects!
From the looks of it, this idea was no different from courting death. However, the person who fought with Yu Zhe was Lin Er, and today's Lin Yi was a completely different person!
If they hadn't seen Lin Yi's face, Yu Zhe and Nan Tianyong would've easily locked onto Lin Yi based on all the recent rumors about the Welcoming Pavilion. Once they matched Lin Yi and Lin Er, the final result would only become more and more similar until they could confirm that there was no mistake.
This was because the target was too obvious. Although the Lin Er they were looking for was at the peak of the early stage of the Foundational Realm, and the Welcoming Pavilion's Lin Yi was only at the early stage of the Foundational Realm, as long as they put in the effort, it was completely possible to hide one's strength.
What's more, during the resistance assessment, Lin Yi had taken a full blow from a peak of the early stage of the Foundational Realm, but he was able to recover in a short period of time. This could completely prove that he was at the peak of the early stage of the Foundational Realm.
These were all the flaws that maintained the relationship between Lin Yi and Lin Er. Once they really matched Lin Yi's appearance with Lin Er's, they would inevitably think in the direction of disguise or a human skin mask even if they found out that Lin Yi looked different from Lin Er. In the end, there would still be a day when his identity would be exposed.
Therefore, if they allowed Yu Zhe and Nan Tianyong to continue investigating, it would be very dangerous for Lin Yi.
