Looking around, many of them were inner core disciples that he had seen in the inner core competition before. Of course, most of them were outer disciples. Lin Yi also saw some old acquaintances of the Welcome Pavilion in the crowd, such as Dongfang Badao and Murong Zhen.
When these people saw Lin Yi, they couldn't help but reveal expressions of reverence. Wherever Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao passed, everyone consciously moved away, not daring to offend them in the slightest.
Today was different from the past. In the past, no matter how much Lin Yi was in the limelight, it was still in the category of the newcomers of the Welcome Pavilion. They could be envious, they could talk about it, and they could sneer at him if they were not pleasing to the eye. But now it was different.
Because of the words of Shanghai Tianhua, Lin Yi and they were now in two different worlds. Facing Lin Yi was like facing Ram Jie, who had appeared out of nowhere. They only dared to look up to him, but did not dare to have any disrespect.
None of them were fools. They knew that in the face of a true and absolute gap, any self-righteous thoughts were foolish thoughts that would only bring disaster to themselves and wouldn't bring them any benefits.
The rest of the people, especially those who had been against Lin Yi, only dared to stay away from Lin Yi now, but there was one exception. In the face of Lin Yi, not only did she not avoid, but she took the initiative to come up and deliberately rubbed against Lin Yi inadvertently. This person was Murong Zhen.
"Senior Brother Lin Yi, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you." Murong Zhen greeted him in a coquettish voice. In the cultivation world, strength was respected. It was not out of line for her to call Lin Yi senior brother.
Seeing this woman coming to seduce Lin Yi so seductively, Huang Xiaotao on the side unconsciously held Lin Yi's arm. She had already restored her appearance and confidence. Of course, she would not lose to a coquettish woman like Murong Zhen, and she also had confidence in Lin Yi's determination. But subconsciously, she still did not want Lin Yi to have any contact with such a woman with a bad reputation.
Lin Yi smiled and patted Huang Xiaotao's hand, indicating that she did not need to worry. He turned his head to look at Murong Zhen and said lightly, "With the past between us, it is a little strange to say that I miss you."
"Aiya, Senior Brother Lin Yi, you are a magnanimous person. I have eyes but failed to recognize your greatness. I apologize for offending you. Please don't take it to heart," Murong Zhen said anxiously. "Senior Brother Lin Yi, please forgive me.
"Don't play any tricks. If you have something to say, just say it. I don't have time to listen to you beat around the bush," Lin Yi said calmly without turning his head as he looked at the mission board.
"Uhm … Senior Brother Lin Yi, do you think I can still be the manager of the newcomers for a while longer? Don't worry, I will definitely do my best to assist Pavilion Master Ku and Senior Brother Xiao. I dare not have any other thoughts, "Murong Zhen said carefully.
Although Xu Lingchong had returned, he kept a low profile and did not meet anyone. He had never been interested in her. Her only support was Si Hai Xiao, but he had no influence over the Three Pavilions. She was currently in a very bad situation.
Ku Zongle was appointed as the third pavilion master of the Welcoming Pavilion, and Xiao Ran was appointed as the eldest senior brother of the newcomers. It could be said that the power of Blue Cloud Pavilion in the Welcoming Pavilion was completely controlled by Lin Yi's people. She was merely the second senior brother (or senior sister) of the newcomers, yet she was completely suppressed by Xiao Ran. Even if she tried her best, she could not fight back at all.
Whether or not she could keep her position was completely dependent on Lin Yi's mood. If Lin Yi did not like her and wanted to take her down, it would only take a word from him. She, Murong Zhen, would not be able to do anything about it.
"I am no longer in the Welcoming Pavilion, and I will not interfere with the matters of the Welcoming Pavilion. I will give you these words: take care," Lin Yi replied.
"Yes, yes. Thank you, Senior Brother Lin Yi, for your magnanimity. I will definitely keep it in mind." Murong Zhen was immediately overjoyed. After expressing her gratitude, she hurriedly left. Otherwise, if she stayed for too long and made Lin Yi annoyed, she would be in deep trouble.
Moreover, no matter what, she was still Xu Lingchong's subordinate. If rumors were to spread and Xu Lingchong found out that she was purposely trying to curry favor with Lin Yi, it would be quite a disaster.
Looking at Murong Zhen's back as she hurriedly left, Lin Yi's lips curled into a noncommittal smile. With Ku Zongle and Xiao Ran working together to control the overall situation, her position as the second senior brother of the newcomers was no longer important. She would not be able to cause any trouble at all, so it did not matter if she was removed or not.
Of course, Lin Yi also knew that with this woman's temperament, even if she temporarily tolerated it, she would not be so tactful forever. There would be a day when she would stir up trouble. However, it was not a bad thing for Xiao Ran to have such a person eyeing him covetously.
Xiao Ran was a good person in all aspects, but his temperament was too lukewarm. Murong Zhen's existence could stimulate his fighting spirit and keep him vigilant at all times, so he did not dare to slack off. This could be considered as making the best use of her.
After sending Murong Zhen away, Lin Yi continued to scan through the many missions on the mission list. After a while, his eyes suddenly focused and fell on a trial mission at the edge of the list.
The reason why this mission could attract Lin Yi's attention was that its location was in the Weiarc Sea near the south island!
Lin Yi did not know any Deputy Pavilion Leader Yao, but he was still very concerned about Lu Bianren's disappearance. Previously, he was too far away and could not help even if he wanted to. But now, if he took the opportunity of the trial mission to find Lu Bianren, it would be a good idea to kill two birds with one stone.
After taking a closer look at the mission content, Lin Yi found that this was actually a hunting mission, and it was not easy at all!
The target was Wu Bao Liang, whose strength was at the peak of the late stage of Gold Core. He was a famous evil cultivator in the north island, specializing in sucking the blood essence of virgin girls for cultivation. Most of the cultivator tribes in the north island and its vicinity had left traces of this person's crimes. According to the rough statistics of the Law Enforcement Hall, there were a total of 300 women who had been killed by this person. This was only an incomplete count. There were many missing women who were likely to have been killed by this person, but no one thought of him at that time.
This series of cases really caused a sensation in the north island. Because of the boiling public resentment, even the top management of the Three Pavilions were alarmed. After the Law Enforcement Hall intervened in the investigation, they finally locked the target on Wu Bao Liang, the evil cultivator.
Unfortunately, at that time, when the masters of the Law Enforcement Hall were just about to take action, this person directly escaped from the north island after hearing the news. Since then, he had never appeared in the north island and had always been on the run.
According to the usual practice, the scope of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Three Pavilions was only in the north island. Although there had been cases of pursuing people to the ends of the earth at all costs, this was very rare. Only those special criminals who endangered the safety of the Three Pavilions could enjoy this special treatment.
