One simple sentence from the other party, and Si Haixiao became a shopkeeper again. What's more, he became the leader of the intelligence team? Life was indeed unpredictable. This great rise and fall had come too quickly!
Just as Si Haixiao was so shocked that he didn't know what to say, the mysterious man took out another bottle and placed it beside the Great Meridian Channel Unblocking Pill. He said, "Drink this bottle of medicinal liquid now. It won't affect your body, but you have to take the antidote once a month. If you don't have any ulterior motives, I will give you the antidote regularly."
"This …" Si Haixiao's heart sank. There was no free lunch in this world. The mysterious man gave him such a huge benefit, but there were conditions.
"Haha, there's no point in hesitating. Do you think that I'll let you leave this room alive if you don't agree after I've said so much to you?" As he spoke, a towering aura erupted from the mysterious man, causing the entire tea party to tremble.
Even with Si Haixiao's experience, he was still dumbfounded by this terrifying aura that he had never seen before. Not to mention that he was now a cripple, even if he was at his peak, he would probably be no stronger than an ant in front of this mysterious person.
Si Haixiao had no choice. Since things had come to this, he could only crawl to the table, pick up the bottle of medicinal liquid, and drink it. He didn't dare to have any ulterior motives.
"You're quite sensible. Go and have a good rest. Go officially to the Central Chamber of Commerce tomorrow." The mysterious man waved his hand lightly.
"Yes, yes. I'll take my leave." Si Haixiao excitedly took the Meridian Channel Conduit Pill and kowtowed to the mysterious man. He crawled backward out of the private room. There was already a servant waiting at the door to help him change, shower, and recuperate.
After Si Haixiao left, the door inside the private room suddenly opened automatically without any warning. The mysterious man's domineering aura dissipated instantly. He kowtowed respectfully to the private room inside, not daring to cross the line.
"It's settled. He'll officially take office tomorrow. I'll personally supervise him during this period," the mysterious man said respectfully.
"Alright, you may leave." A woman's voice came from inside the private room.
… …
Yesterday, after leaving the Hong Chamber of Commerce, Lin Yi and the two ladies found a clean and tidy restaurant. Although it was far from being as high-class as the Soaring Sky Pavilion's Splendid Sun House, and it didn't have spirit energy delicacies that easily cost hundreds of spirit jades, it was just some ordinary dishes that had nothing to do with cultivation. However, it was still very delicious, and it had the warmth of a home.
The five Soaring Sky Pavilion Core Disciples had been following the three of them, constantly monitoring everyone's movements. With Si Haixiao's appearance, they had to be extra vigilant. It would be a dereliction of duty if another blind person came to disturb the mood of the two young misses.
However, under the strong request of Shangguan Laner and Ning Xuefei, they did not enter the private room. They could only be on standby in the surrounding areas. Only Lin Yi and the two women were left in the private room. There was also a little curly bear who was busy eating and drinking.
"I didn't dare to ask more last time in a hurry. It turns out to be Miss Ning of West Island. How disrespectful! Regarding the matter of the Northernmost Island, many thanks for your help, I can't thank you enough. Engrave it in my heart. "Lin Yi raised his glass and thanked Ning Xuefei.
"Aiya, if I knew you were Lin Yi, I would've saved you even more! This is what I should do!" Ning Xuefei's lips curled into a meaningful smile.
Lin Yi was slightly stunned when he heard this. He couldn't help but look at Shangguan Laner. He thought that she said this because she was Shangguan Laner's best friend. Love me, love my dog.
Ning Xuefei smiled slightly. When they were on the Northernmost Island, she didn't know about the matter between Shangguan Laner and Lin Yi. Her words were referring to her other best friend, Han Jingjing.
After the contact on the road just now, she could be sure that this was the Lin Yi that Han Jingjing had been yearning for day and night. However, she didn't want to break the window paper for such a fun thing. It would be good to wait until the time to give them a big surprise!
"Well, you two don't have to keep me in suspense anymore. Little fellow, what happened? Quickly tell me honestly!" Shangguan Laner couldn't wait to urge.
Lin Yi and Ning Xuefei looked at each other and no longer hid it. They talked about the matter in the Northernmost Island to her.
After listening to the encounter between the two, Shangguan Laner was amazed for a long time. She couldn't help but sigh that the world was really too small. They could even know each other like this. But then she wondered, "Little Junior Brother, how did you get injured at that time? Is the Northernmost Island so chaotic? "
"Yeah, I wanted to ask this question too. Lin Yi, you were injured quite badly at that time!" Ning Xuefei said curiously. Although she had a guess, it was just a guess.
Lin Yi hesitated for a while, but thinking that these two weren't outsiders and had a close relationship with him, they wouldn't betray him. He lowered his voice and admitted, "Miss Ning, you must have heard about what happened that night. Zheng Tianjie died because of a cauldron explosion. Actually, it was my doing."
"Ah?" The two women were shocked when they heard this. Zheng Tianjie's status was not much inferior to theirs. His death had caused quite a stir in the past.
According to the elders in the family, if it wasn't for the Dan God Zhang Liju personally coming out and confirming that this guy died because of his cauldron explosion, Zheng Dongjue would've sent out the elites of Zhongdao's Dan Hall. They didn't expect that the cause of such a huge incident was Lin Yi.
After being stunned for a while, Shangguan Laner suddenly praised him excitedly, "Little Junior Brother, you're really amazing. Zheng Dongjue was someone grandpa met when he brought me to Zhongdao. He's not a good person. I heard that a lot of girls in Zhongdao were harassed by him. Little Junior Brother, you're doing the people a favor!"
Ning Xuefei asked curiously, "Then why did you kill him? Oh, I know, it must be because he saw that you had so many elixirs that you couldn't buy even if you bought them, so he wanted to rob them! "
Lin Yi smiled and shook his head, "That's not it. Miss Ning should have an impression of my conflict with him. I bid against him at the auction and offended him."
He didn't plan on sharing Tian Chan's matter with the two girls. After all, there wasn't a need for it. One more person knowing would mean one more trouble for Tian Chan. It was better not to mention it.
