They belonged to different factions. Hong Zhong was not a member of the Three Great Pavilions at all and was not under anyone's jurisdiction. Instead, many high-level cultivators asked to help him. Who would be so stupid to offend him?
Now that Xu Lingchong had given up, the others naturally wouldn't chase after Lin Yi anymore. Lin Yi could finally heave a sigh of relief as he successfully got through this crisis.
However, Lin Yi also knew in his heart that after being targeted by Xu Lingchong, he would inevitably be targeted by some people with ulterior motives. Not to mention other things, at least at this moment, the way Yu Zhe looked at him was a little strange.
When he used the identity of Lin Er to compete with Yu Zhe for the star inkstone, Hong Zhong's attitude towards him was also very polite. After that, Hong Zhong protected him several times. This was seen by Yu Zhe from the beginning to the end.
Yu Zhe originally had doubts about Lin Yi. Hong Zhong's performance today became a rare piece of evidence. Who knows, from today onwards, Lin Yi's suspicion would surpass Kang Ming Ming's and become their number one suspect again.
Lin Yi could only smile bitterly. Coming to this birthday party today, he had gained a lot of knowledge, but it had also left behind many hidden dangers and troubles in the future. The saying 'enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road' was really true.
At this time, Shanghai Laner trotted over with the little curly bear. She moved in front of Lin Yi and suggested, "Little Junior Brother, there are too many blind people here. Let's go to the third floor!"
No matter how simple Shanghai Laner was, after what happened just now, she had already seen that with Lin Yi's awkward identity appearing in such a high-end gathering where important people gathered, once he was slightly targeted, it was easy to become a target of public criticism.
And in this kind of place, although Shanghai Laner was the First Miss of Soaring Sky Pavilion, the others were not weak and their background would not lose to her too much. After all, she was not Shanghai Tianhua herself. If she wanted to suppress people to protect Lin Yi like she did outside, it was not very effective.
Unless her grandfather, Shangguan Tianhua, personally said something. Alas, Shangguan Tianhua hadn't even heard of Lin Yi before, and his identity was special as well. Every move he made in a situation like this would be interpreted in all sorts of ways. Why would he stand up for someone he didn't know anything about?
Therefore, for Lin Yi, this could be said to be a place of trouble. Even if he had just escaped a disaster, there would be trouble sooner or later if he continued to stay here. It was better to find a place to avoid attention.
For Shanghai Laner, Lin Yi was well aware of her intentions, but he still asked, "Is this okay? Little Senior Sister, you are also the protagonist today. Now the birthday party is only halfway through. It's not good to leave halfway, right? "
Shanghai Laner smiled and said, "What's good about it? Little Junior Brother, you don't know this. Holding a birthday party for me is actually just a pretense. These high and mighty people have always been concerned about standing in line and power. Why would they care about whether a little girl like me is here or not!"
Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. But thinking about it carefully, Shanghai Laner's words were also reasonable. In this kind of occasion where the big shots gathered, the protagonist could only be one thing, power.
"Well, thank you Little Senior Sister for your kindness." Lin Yi thought about it and nodded.
Although following Shangguan Lan 'er like this might cause gossip and even some rumors, it was better than continuing to stay here, being despised by others for nothing, and bearing those unpredictable risks.
After the two agreed, they immediately got up and prepared to go upstairs with the Little Curly Bear. However, when they just walked to the stairs, they were stopped.
With Shanghai Laner's identity, ordinary people naturally didn't dare to stop her. But at this time, the person who stopped in front of the two was the organizer of this birthday party, Xu Lingchong.
"Little Junior Sister Lan 'er, where are you going? The party is only halfway through." Xu Lingchong had a fake smile on his face.
Xu Yuanzheng just reminded him that he must grab hold of this key person. Naturally, he couldn't let Shanghai Laner and Lin Yi slip away quietly. If a single man and a single woman caused any immoral things, then it would have nothing to do with Xu Lingchong anymore.
"Where this Young Miss wants to go is none of your business!" Shanghai Laner rolled her eyes at him and snorted in dissatisfaction.
Before this, although she hated Xu Lingchong very much, but because of the face of a senior, she could still barely pinch her nose and feign civility. But today, after seeing Xu Lingchong's hateful face of making things difficult for Lin Yi, she felt disgusted even feigning civility with him. So, she might as well shed all pretense of cordiality and save herself from feeling disgusted in the future.
"Uh …" Xu Lingchong couldn't help but choke. He had never been so disdainful and despised in his face, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart. F * * k, this woman found a wild man, and even the tone of her speech is different. What a bitch!
If it wasn't for him having misgivings about Shanghai Laner's identity, Xu Lingchong had the intention to drag this adulterous couple outside and directly chop them into pieces. But unfortunately, he couldn't. Not only could he not, he had to be patient and properly serve this Young Miss. Otherwise, if his grandfather, Xu Yuanzheng, were to find out that he was despised by this Young Miss, then wanting to take over the Xu Family in the future would become a daydream.
"Uh what? This Young Miss hates fellows like you that have a bellyful of evil tricks and a bellyful of crafty schemes. Quickly move aside for this Young Miss!" Shanghai Laner snorted angrily as she asked Xu Lingchong to move aside.
The corners of Xu Lingchong's mouth twitched, and he forcefully suppressed the flames of rage in his heart as he forced a smile and said, "Junior Sister, you've really misunderstood me. I suspected Lin Yi earlier because I wholeheartedly thought for you, and I was deeply afraid that you would be deceived by others! Nevermind, I was misled by this kid Kang Ming Ming earlier, and I was indeed slightly rash and offended Young Hero Lin. Why don't I take this opportunity to toast a cup of wine to Young Hero Lin, and take it as a token of apology! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Lingchong gestured to the servant beside him to pass over a cup of wine, and he personally poured a cup for Lin Yi and himself before passing it over to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi looked on coldly from the side, and he didn't extend his hand to receive it. He didn't believe that this fellow, Xu Lingchong, would really be so kind and sincerely apologize to him while accompanying him in drinking.
"Young Hero Lin, this Young Master is personally apologizing to you. You wouldn't be unwilling to even give this little bit of face, right? As men, we can't be so lacking in magnanimity, right?" Xu Lingchong laughed in ridicule, and then he seemed to have recovered from his shock as he slanted his eyes and looked disdainfully at Chen Xi. "Speaking of which, Young Hero Lin, you wouldn't be afraid that there's poison in the wine, right? Do you really think that our Heaven-Stage Island is as dirty and despicable as your secular world? So petty, you really can't see the world!"
