"Ah, it's Hong Zhong!" Cai Zhongyang's eyes lit up, and the unfamiliarity between them disappeared instantly. His attitude toward Lin Yi and Lin Yi suddenly became warm. "Few people know about my friendship with Hong Zhong. He has always been cautious. Since he told you about this, it means he trusts you very much, Young Hero Lin!"
"You flatter me, Elder Cai. I've always been under Elder Hong's care. I'm ashamed." Lin Yi was happy. Judging from this person's behavior, his friendship with Hong Zhong should not be shallow, and it was not a simple acquaintance.
"Young Hero Lin, you're too modest. Hong Zhong is a real businessman. If he can take care of you, it means you can take care of him. It's mutual." Cai Zhongyang knew Hong Zhong well, and his comments were to the point. He laughed and said, "Young Hero Lin, how do you know Hong Zhong? This guy has always been in the north island. He came back a few days ago, and then he ran back to the north island. I wanted to play chess with him, but I didn't have a chance to play chess with him … "
"To tell you the truth, I'm a disciple of the Three Pavilions in the north island, and I also met Elder Hong in the north island. Recently, I came out to do a trial task, but something happened on the way, so I ended up in the middle island. Elder Hong asked me to come to Five Elements Commerce for help, Elder Cai," Lin Yi explained.
"I see. Well, well. Hong Zhong has never been polite to me. Who's this lady next to him?" Cai Zhongyang turned to ask.
Sydney and Lin Yi looked at each other, and she said frankly, "I'm Sydney. Nice to meet you, Elder Cai."
"Sydney? Why does this name sound so familiar? " Cai Zhongyang was slightly stunned. Then, he carefully looked at Xue Li from head to toe. Then, he suddenly realized something and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the person who was wanted by the Snow Sword Faction just now, could it be …"
"That's right, it's the two of us." Now that things had come to this, it was obviously useless to try to conceal or deny it, so they could only admit it. The only thing that Lin Yi needed to be concerned about now was whether Cai Zhongyang's character was reliable or not.
To this, Cai Zhongyang only nodded his head in understanding. He did not have any strange expression, and said to Lin Yi and Li Yundong, "You don't have to worry. Since you are friends of that old guy Hong Zhong, then you are also friends of me, Cai Zhongyang. Although the Snow Sword School is not small, it is not something that my Five Elements Commerce cares about. I'm still a disciple of Grandmaster Zhang Liju. Even if they had ten guts, they wouldn't dare come here to search. You guys can stay here. "
"Many thanks, Elder Cai." Lin Yi was taken aback for a moment before he hurriedly thanked him along with Sydney. He didn't expect this person to be so loyal and bear the burden for him without saying anything. Moreover, looking at his eyes, it didn't seem fake.
But, what surprised Lin Yi even more was that … He was actually Zhang Liju's disciple? Was that her senior brother or junior brother?
"Haha, you're too courteous, Young Master Lin. This is just a small matter, it's not worth mentioning. Come. This old man will have someone arrange a superior room for you. Both of you don't look too well, so you should take a good rest first. "Cai Zhongyang immediately found a superior room for the two of them and sent them to their room. "I still have something to take care of. You two rest first, we'll have dinner together tonight."
Lin Yi watched as Cai Zhongyang left. Only then did Lin Yi and Sydney return to their room. Although they were still a little worried, it seemed that this friend that Hong Zhong introduced to them was still reliable. Of course, it wasn't the time to completely relax yet.
If what Cai Zhongyang said was true, that he could easily protect the two of them, then half of the problem of being wanted by the Snow Sword School would be solved.
Just as the two of them sat down in the room, they heard a loud noise coming from downstairs. Even with Xue Li's strength of Heaven Level Full Completion, she could clearly sense what was happening downstairs. Sure enough, the disciples of the Snow Sword Faction were here to look for someone!
With the wanted poster in hand, the leading disciple of the Snow Sword School looked at the customers and workers of Five Elements Commerce and said loudly, "Anyone who knows where these two are, as long as you report it, you will be rewarded with a thousand spirit jades. Has anyone seen them before?"
The entire crowd quietened down. Although the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce was the number one leading chamber of commerce in the Merchant Union, those who came here to purchase pills were not necessarily local tycoons. As long as they made a report, they would be able to obtain a thousand Spirit Jades. To most people, this temptation was still very big.
However, temptation was one thing. If they didn't have any concrete information, no one would answer. After all, the Snow Sword School wasn't a small sect. Normal people wouldn't have the guts to lie to them.
"Has no one seen them before? A whole thousand spirit jades. There are so many people here, could it be that no one has seen them before? "The leading disciple of the Snow Sword School shouted again.
At this moment, Cai Zhongyang's voice suddenly came from the top of the stairs, "Snow Sword Faction is truly awe-inspiring. You even came to my Five Elements Chamber of Commerce to arrest people. This old man would like to ask, who exactly gave you the courage to openly interfere with my Five Elements Chamber of Commerce's business?"
With such a big accusation on them, all the disciples of the Snow Sword School shrunk their necks. The leading disciple was even more shocked. He stammered, "No … No … Vice shopkeeper Cai, please don't be angry. We were just asking casually …"
"Are you done asking now? Are you still not going to scram? Or do you want me to send you off personally? " Cai Zhongyang scolded with a cold face. He wouldn't care about this kind of thing normally. However, now that it involved Lin Yi and Su Li, it was a different matter.
"Yes, yes. We'll scram now. We'll scram now." The disciples of the Snow Sword School nodded and bowed. They didn't even dare to let out a fart. They just left with their tails between their legs.
They weren't willing to do this kind of thing in the first place. These top Chambers of Commerce were all very powerful. Especially a giant like Five Elements Commerce, which had the support of the Middle Island Pill Hall. They wouldn't care about the Snow Sword School at all. This time, he was just going through the motions to give his master an explanation. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to ask for trouble.
Moreover, they had never thought that they would be able to find someone in a place like Five Elements Commerce. Naturally, they wouldn't dare and wouldn't go against Cai Zhongyang for this.
What happened downstairs was clearly imprinted in Lin Yi's perception. Only then did he finally relax. This friend of Hong Zhong, Cai Zhongyang, was indeed a trustworthy and reliable person. He could finally stay in peace for a short period of time. He didn't need to hide anymore.
