If it was before, the information wouldn't have affected Lin Yi too much. After all, he had successfully diverted the attention of the Southern Sky Gate and Yu Zhe to Kang Ming Ming. If Nan Tianba were to return, he should have been misled as well.
However, the sudden situation just now had placed the danger in front of Lin Yi. If Meng Jueguang had really seen through his identity and leaked the information to the Southern Sky Gate and Yu Zhe, then he would have to consider one thing — how to deal with Nan Tianba!
Now that he had broken through to the Middle-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, Lin Yi's strength had skyrocketed. If he was given a good opportunity, he might be able to deal with the Southern Sky Gate like how he killed Nan Tianyong.
However, if his opponent was Nan Tianba, who was on a completely different level, then there was nothing he could do. Although he was unwilling to admit it, it was the truth. Facing such a powerful opponent, Lin Yi had no chance of winning. He could only run for his life, and he might not even be able to escape!
To prepare for a rainy day, Lin Yi had to think of a way to prepare. If he allowed the situation to develop to this stage, then it would truly be a tragedy.
After leaving the Hong Merchant Guild, Lin Yi did not stay for long. He immediately returned to the Welcome Pavilion. However, before returning to his cave abode, he purposely found a secluded corner to observe from afar. The scene that he saw caused his heart to skip a beat.
Meng Jueguang and Murong Zhen were sitting next to the tea table beside the wooden house, flirting and chatting over tea.
Lin Yi was not surprised at all by this adulterous couple hanging out together. However, Meng Jueguang's appearance here was definitely not to fool around with Murong Zhen. It was obvious that he had an ulterior motive.
This Meng Jueguang was obviously trying to use this opportunity to confirm if he was the same Lin Er that he had met at the market!
Luckily, Lin Yi was cautious enough to keep an eye out. Otherwise, if he suddenly appeared, even if Meng Jueguang was still a little uncertain, he would definitely be a suspect now.
Lin Yi immediately dispelled the idea of going back to the cave immediately. He stayed where he was and started to waste time with Meng Jueguang.
In any case, Lin Yi had always been in closed-door cultivation. As long as he did not take the initiative to appear, Meng Jueguang would not be able to confirm whether he was in the cave or not. Even if he tried to call the door, it would be useless. Cultivators never ignored people when they were in closed-door cultivation.
Meng Jueguang stayed in Murong Zhen's wooden house until the middle of the night. When he didn't see Lin Yi, he finally left resentfully. Before he left, he didn't give up and told Murong Zhen to keep an eye on Lin Yi's whereabouts.
However, Lin Yi's patience was far beyond that of an ordinary person. After Meng Jueguang left, he waited until he was sure that Murong Zhen was completely silent and let down his guard before he quietly returned to his cave.
This response might not be able to dispel Meng Jueguang's suspicions, but it was still better than having his suspicions confirmed. As long as there was no concrete evidence, this matter was still groundless. Meng Jueguang did not dare to act recklessly. This was the only chance Lin Yi could fight for.
A few days later. Meng Jueguang did not continue to look for trouble. There was no news from Southern Sky Gate or Yu Zhe either. Lin Yi's response seemed to be quite effective.
Following that, Welcoming Pavilion's Pavilion Master, Hu Yunfeng, gathered all the newcomers. Once again, all the rookies from the three pavilions were gathered together. Although the rookie assessment had ended, it did not mean that the rookies were completely free.
Before the announcement of the newcomer assessment. Hu Yunfeng had personally said to all the newcomers that she would give the newcomers from Mysterious Pavilion and Blue Cloud Pavilion a chance to challenge the other pavilions.
Challenge the other pavilions! Ever since the newcomers joined the Welcoming Pavilion, so many things had happened, and so many trials had taken place. This was the first time something like this had happened. Before this, the three pavilions had always done it separately.
In an instant, the newcomers from the three pavilions had a tense atmosphere. Putting aside the internal affairs of each pavilion, this could be considered a competition between the three pavilions. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a battle between the three pavilions.
At least at a time like this, the newcomers at the scene still had some collective consciousness.
The reason for this challenge was to show fairness. Although everyone knew that the strong preyed on the weak was the unchanging rule of the cultivation world, as the upper echelons of the three pavilions, they had to at least put on a show.
Even if it couldn't shut everyone's mouth, it was enough to make most people speechless.
At this moment, the atmosphere at the scene was unprecedentedly tense. Furthermore, the difference in treatment was obvious. Many newcomers from Mysterious Pavilion and Blue Cloud Pavilion coveted the mountaintop cave abodes of the Soaring Sky Pavilion newcomers. They dreamed of replacing them.
Now that the opportunity was right in front of them, they were all hesitant to move forward.
They were the typical people who loved dragons. As the weakest group in the Three Great Pavilions, they all wanted so-called fairness. However, when they were given the chance to use their strength to fight against others, they didn't have the confidence to do so.
Apart from Lin Yi and a few other freakish newcomers, the Soaring Sky Pavilion was obviously far superior to the other two pavilions in terms of strength, especially the newcomers from Blue Cloud Pavilion.
Even if people like Lin Yi and Murong Zhen were included, among the newcomers from Blue Cloud Pavilion, only six had successfully reached the Foundation Establishment Realm. The rest were only at the peak of the Heaven Stage. Meanwhile, among the newcomers from Soaring Sky Pavilion, there were already a total of ten early-stage Foundation Establishment experts!
As for the newcomers of Soaring Sky Pavilion, over the past few months, their respective deep backgrounds had finally begun to play a role. Even if they couldn't obtain Building Foundation Pills during the Newcomer Trial, they could still obtain them through various private channels.
With their talent and background, coupled with the fact that they had enough pills, the success rate of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm was naturally not low. Among the fifteen newcomers from Soaring Sky Pavilion, there were ten early-stage Foundation Establishment experts. This was clear proof.
As for the newcomers from Mysterious Pavilion, although this group of old men could be considered tyrannical during their time as newcomers, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm did not depend solely on strength. In terms of pills and resources, they clearly could not compare to the second and third generation cultivators from Soaring Sky Pavilion. As a result, there were only six people who had successfully reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, which was equal to the newcomers from Blue Cloud Pavilion.
Overall, the comparison of the strength of the newcomers from the three pavilions was not much different from previous years. Soaring Sky Pavilion was the strongest, followed by Mysterious Pavilion, and Blue Cloud Pavilion was still the weakest.
