This was in line with the way of survival in the cultivation world. Otherwise, if Qi Wenhan had no ulterior motives, Lin Yi would have to be on his guard. After all, there was an old saying, "Those who are unaccountably solicitous are hiding evil intentions."
Thinking up to this point, Lin Yi couldn't help but smile. He cupped his hands at Qi Wenhan and replied, "Us two brothers and sister are going to train in the Weiqian Territorial Waters for a period of time. Anyway, we have nowhere to go. Since Brother Qi is so enthusiastic, it would be impolite of us to reject you."
"Good, that's good! Young hero, you are indeed a straightforward person. Come, come, let's find a place to eat and talk in detail. It can also be considered a welcoming dinner for the two of you! "Qi Wenhan immediately laughed and invited them with a hearty expression.
"Since Brother Qi has instructed us, we dare not disobey!" Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao looked at each other and laughed as well.
In this sort of situation, they had no better choice than to follow Qi Wenhan. If they refused, perhaps Qi Wenhan wouldn't fly into a rage out of humiliation, but Cheng Jutian would have a very difficult time.
Since someone was willing to help him out, Lin Yi wasn't a pretentious person. He might as well go with him first. It was better than staying behind to face Cheng Ketian and the injured and angry Old Kong. As for this Qi Wenhan, whether or not he sincerely wanted them to be his escorts, or if he had other intentions, they could only act according to the situation.
After the two sides finished talking, they felt like they regretted not having met earlier. They immediately left while talking and laughing, leaving Cheng Ketian and the others behind. They were so angry that they couldn't say a word for a long time.
In broad daylight, they forcefully snatched away the person that he, Cheng Ketian, had taken a fancy to. From beginning to end, they didn't even give him a single explanation. This wasn't just infuriating, it was simply intolerable!
However, no matter how angry he was, Cheng Ketian couldn't do anything at this moment. The other party's background wasn't any weaker than his, and he also had an expert at the Nascent Soul Stage as his servant. If they continued to fight, he would be the one to suffer. What else could he do other than endure this resentment?
"Good! Good! Alright! " Cheng Ketian was so angry that he shouted the word 'good' three times in a row. Behind his back, he turned to Lin Yi and the others who had gone far away. Unwilling to give up, he stomped his foot and threatened, "If you have the guts, then keep following this surnamed Qi. Otherwise, if I run into you alone, hmph! Remember this, I, Cheng Ketian, want to kill someone. I have never failed in the Verdant Arc Territorial Waters! "
No matter how much Cheng Ketian hooted from behind, Qi Wenhan, Lin Yi, and the others simply didn't pay any attention to him. They continued to chat and laugh as they walked away. On the contrary, more and more onlookers were attracted over. The dignified Poison Eye mercenary group's young master Cheng had truly become a jumping clown, allowing everyone to watch him.
Under Qi Wenhan's lead, the group arrived at a high-class restaurant in Crescent City. He specially found a private room and ordered a table of rare delicacies. He was quite generous.
After everyone had taken their seats, Qi Wenhan asked, "Young Hero, what do you think? I wonder where the two of you are from? Why don't you introduce yourselves? "
"Brother Qi, I am Ling Yi, and the person beside me is Junior Sister Huang. We are both disciples of the Three Pavilions of the north island. " Lin Yi didn't hide anything and immediately confessed his identity. However, when he mentioned the two of them, he used a pseudonym.
He didn't say it clearly on the way here. He was afraid that if there were too many people, someone would eavesdrop and tell Cheng Ketian. That wouldn't be good. After all, even if it was a pseudonym, they still had to keep using it in the Verdant Arc Territorial Waters.
Although it was certain that the two of them would be targeted by Cheng Ketian in the future, as long as they didn't know their names and origins, Cheng Ketian would have to spend more effort to investigate their background. This was relatively safer, and it was better to hide it for as long as possible.
Of course, he didn't bring the thousand-layer mask on this mission. With Huang Xiaotao accompanying him, and in a strange place like the Verdant Arc Territorial Waters, it didn't make much difference whether he wore the thousand-layer mask or not.
It was better to simply keep it for emergency use. If it really came to a point where he had no other choice, he could put on the mask, change his appearance, and then hide in the crowd. Who could recognize him?
"You two are the disciples of the Three Pavilions of the north island. That's a big sect. Sorry for not recognizing you." Qi Wenhan suddenly showed an expression of admiration and said repeatedly.
"Not at all. We are just ordinary inner disciples. This time, we still need to rely on Brother Qi's help on this trip." Lin Yi smiled faintly and secretly observed the expressions of Qi Wenhan and the servant at the Nascent Soul Stage. He found that the other party was obviously less vigilant than before.
He deliberately pointed out the background of the Three Pavilions of the north island and explained that their origins were clear, just to win Qi Wenhan's trust. Otherwise, if he casually made up their origins, although it was not a big deal, it was very likely to be seen through by Qi Wenhan, and then he would really shoot himself in the foot.
"Well said, well said. Since the two of you are from a famous sect like the Three Great Pavilions of the north island, it's no wonder that you have such extraordinary skills. You could even injure Old Kong of the Cheng family. It's really amazing," Qi Wenhan said with a friendly smile, but his words were 30% complimentary and 70% tentative.
"Hehe, it's just a small trick. I was just lucky." Lin Yi smiled briefly and didn't mean to say more.
"Haha, Young Master Ling, you're too modest. Being overly modest is a disguised form of arrogance. If you say that, how can I behave? Even if I use all my strength, I can't hurt him at all! "Qi Wenhan took the initiative to clink glasses with Lin Yi and laughed at himself.
"The two of us could hurt him only because he was confident in his strength and underestimated us. If we fight again, we might not be so lucky." Lin Yi smiled and waved his hand indifferently.
"That also shows your strength. Talents are hard to come by. Our Heaven's Equal Security Agency needs masters like you, Young Master Ling. Since you two want to train here, why don't you use the Heaven's Equal Security Agency as your backing? At least you can take care of each other," Qi Wenhan continued with a smile.
Lin Yi's previous guess was right. Although he had always been a forthright person, as the young master of the Heaven's Equal Security Agency, every move he made represented the attitude of the agency. He and Lin Yi were not related in any way, so how could he act bravely for no reason and offend someone like Cheng Ketian in public?
The reason why he did this was actually because of the strength of Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao. Although they were only early Golden Elixir stage masters on paper and were not very powerful, the two of them together could injure a peak early Nascent Soul stage master like Old Kong. How amazing their strength was!
