"But …" Southern Heavenly Gate still wanted to say something, but Shanghai Tianhua waved his hand and interrupted him. "After all, my identity is still too sensitive. If someone with ulterior motives thinks that the three pavilions are dissatisfied with the Hong Chamber of Commerce, the impact will be huge."
This was not an excuse. For someone like Shanghai Tianhua, anything he did would be interpreted by people with ulterior motives. If he listened to Southern Heavenly Gate's words and asked Hong Zhong about it, it would be easily misinterpreted as him being dissatisfied with the Hong Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, as Shanghai Laner had said, unless Southern Heavenly Gate could produce conclusive evidence, Shanghai Tianhua would not easily step forward.
"Grandpa, I'm right again! The three pavilions are not allowed to interfere with the business of the Chamber of Commerce. You can't take the lead in breaking the rules. Furthermore, Grandpa Hong treats your granddaughter so well. Xiao Bai was even given to me by him. How can I make things difficult for Grandpa Hong just because of someone's side of the story! "Shanghai Laner said proudly.
"Yes, yes. Little Lan 'er is the one who sees things clearly." Shanghai Tianhua chuckled.
Looking at the grandfather and granddaughter echoing each other, especially after noticing the deeply hidden unfathomable look in Shanghai Tianhua's eyes, Southern Heavenly Gate finally realized that this Pavilion Master had no intention of stepping forward and asking questions. He was just putting on an act for them to see!
Southern Heavenly Gate even suspected that Shanghai Laner's words were secretly taught by Shanghai Tianhua in front of him. Otherwise, how could a naive girl like Shanghai Laner refute him so flawlessly and hit the nail on the head?
What they didn't know was that although Shangguan Tianhua was acting, he had never taught Shangguan Lan 'er to act with him. To be honest, Shangguan Lan' er had actually stepped forward to say such a thing, and even Shangguan Tianhua himself hadn't expected it.
Apart from feeling gratified, Shanghai Tianhua could not help but feel a sense of pity. Although his granddaughter looked naive and innocent at first glance, she was talented and intelligent. However, he was talented, had a high level of comprehension, and was very quick-witted. He could be said to be an excellent cultivation material. It was a pity that he didn't want to improve. He didn't like boring and boring cultivation. What could he do?
Since Shangguan Tianhua had already put it this way, the Southern Heavenly Gate knew that it was futile to stay here any longer. In fact, he might even incur the ire of the First Miss. He had no choice but to bow respectfully and kneel down, saying, "Then, this disciple shall take his leave."
Shanghai Tianhua nodded slightly. Then, he did not look at him and allowed Southern Heavenly Gate to leave.
Looking at Southern Heavenly Gate's back, Shangguan Lan 'er stuck out her tongue and said, "Grandpa, that person is so bad. He actually wants to instigate you to deal with Grandpa Hong. He really has bad intentions!"
"Hehe, he probably learned a lesson from your Grandpa Hong, so he wants to borrow this old man's hand to show off his strength!" Shangguan Tianhua laughed and shook his head. Although Southern Heavenly Gate was scheming and shrewd, he was still too inexperienced to play tricks in front of a top-notch big shot like him.
"Hehe, this person thinks he can use you as a weapon, Grandpa. He thinks he's smart! In my opinion, you should teach him a lesson and let him have a long memory! "Shangguan Lan'er said with a gloating expression.
If it were some other big shot with slightly less tolerance, just because of Southern Heavenly Gate's bad intentions, in order to protect their big shot's reputation, they would not let him have an easy time. Of course, Shangguan Tianhua didn't mind at all. At his level, he already had his own way of dealing with things. He would not be angered over such a small matter.
Shanghai Tianhua smiled noncommittally and said, "That's not necessary. This Southern Heavenly Gate is not someone who will give up so easily. Since I can't do it, I will definitely think of another way when I return. However, this is not something that I need to worry about."
At this point, Shangguan Tianhua suddenly paused, turning to look at Shangguan Lan 'er with a strange look on his face. "Little Lan' er, in the past, you've never been interested in such schemes and plots. Why have you suddenly become so enthusiastic today? Are you also interested in that rogue cultivator Lin Er? "
"Of course not! I'm obviously standing up for Grandpa Hong! "Shanghai Laner quickly denied it. She did not dare to let Shanghai Tianhua know about Lin Yi.
However, in her hurry, she did not notice that when Shanghai Tianhua said he was interested in the rogue cultivator Lin Er, he used the word "also"!
Looking at the entire three pavilions, there were only a handful of people who could arouse the interest of the master of the Soaring Pavilion. It was proven that none of them were ordinary people. For example, the current master of the Law Enforcement Hall, Ram Jie.
Based on Hong Zhong's character, Shanghai Tianhua believed that he would not deliberately help Lin Er to deal with Nan Tianyong. However, it was a fact that Lin Er killed Nan Tianyong in a second. An expert at the peak of the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm was able to kill an opponent four levels higher than him. No matter what method he used, it was already a miracle!
It was no wonder that Shanghai Tianhua, the top big shot of the north island, would be interested in Lin Er.
The next day, under the instruction of Miss Shangguan, Little Curly Bear brought the information and sneaked to Lin Yi's first cave residence at the foot of the mountain.
"The second of the three heroes of the Nan family, the senior brother in charge of the Soaring Pavilion, Southern Sky Gate?" Lin Yi looked at the situation described in the letter by Shanghai Laner and could not help but be slightly surprised. He secretly sighed that Yu Zhe really did not give up. He had just killed Nan Tianyong, and immediately pulled over an even more powerful Southern Sky Gate!
Previously, using the True Qi Bomb to kill the defenseless Nan Tianyong was already Lin Yi's limit. If it was the more powerful Southern Sky Gate, or if they came prepared, then other than hiding far away, there was really no other way.
However, what made Lin Yi rather touched was that Hong Zhong had only met him twice, but he was so protective of him. Without saying a word, he stepped on Nan Tianyong and the two heroes of the Nan family, and even almost fell to the point where the Soaring Pavilion's Master, Shanghai Tianhua, came out to pressure him. This kind of favor was really touching.
Although Lin Yi also knew that Hong Zhong must have done this mainly for his own sake, and Hong Zhong really did not know the details of his identity, no matter what, he still had to accept this favor. It seemed that he would have to take care of Hong Zhong's business in the future.
For Lin Yi, if he could establish a stable cooperative relationship with an experienced and reliable business tycoon like Hong Zhong, it would also be a win-win situation for both sides.
In addition to the Southern Sky Gate's visit last night, Shanghai Laner also analyzed the reactions of the higher-ups of the Soaring Pavilion and the Law Enforcement Hall to Lin Yi in the letter.
