"Good, good. Young Hero Ling and Miss Huang are indeed disciples of a large sect. Such courage is truly admirable. I will remember it." Qi Wenhan was overjoyed. The way he looked at Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao became more and more kind, and there was even a hint of gratitude.
After all, from a certain point of view, Lin Yi's bravery had indeed helped him out of trouble. At least he did not lose face in front of Wei Zhaotong. Just based on this point, he would remember Lin Yi's kindness.
"The two of us have just arrived here, and we are indebted to Brother Qi for accepting us so warmly. Since there is a place where we can be of use, we naturally have to do our best. This is what we should do." Lin Yi smiled.
"You two are so loyal. I really did not misjudge you." Qi Wenhan patted Lin Yi's shoulder happily. He then pointed to the two escorts who had just stood up and said, "Let me introduce you. These two are the permanent escorts of our escort agency, Li Yanji and Guan Zhiyuan. They are very experienced in escorting goods. I hope you can cooperate sincerely."
Lin Yi looked at the two. Li Yanji was an expert at the peak of the middle stage of the Golden Elixir realm. Guan Zhiyuan was slightly weaker. He was a middle stage Golden Elixir realm expert.
"Greetings, Brother Li, Brother Guan. I hope you two can forgive us and take care of us." Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao looked at each other and took the initiative to greet them.
Li Yanji and Guan Zhiyuan did not answer. They only cupped their hands. Their reactions were as cold as before. The two of them clearly looked down on Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao.
This was human nature. Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao's strength were only at the early stage of the Golden Elixir realm. They were much weaker than the two of them. This meant that if the escorts encountered an unexpected situation, they would not be of much help. Moreover, they could easily become the other party's breakthrough point and become a complete burden.
Moreover, in their eyes, these two had just arrived and did not know anything. They stood up to accept the mission at this time. They were probably here to flatter their young master. There was really no need to look up to them.
However, Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao didn't seem to feel their disdain at all. They didn't have the slightest change in expression, and their expressions remained the same.
Qi Wenhan saw all of this and couldn't help but shake his head inwardly. Although Li Yanji and Guan Zhiyuan were experienced escorts in the escort agency, when compared to Lin Yi and Li Yanji, it was obvious who was superior.
In terms of strength, the Lin Yi duo could injure a peak early Yuanying stage master like Old Kong head-on, which was evaluated as unfathomable. That was not an exaggeration at all. On the other hand, Li Guan and the other man probably could not even defeat an ordinary late stage Gold Elixir realm master. What right did they have to look down on others?
In terms of bearing, Lin Yi and Li Guan were neither servile nor overbearing. They were indifferent to favors or insults. On the other hand, not only did Li Guan and Li Guan fail to see reality clearly, they even thought that they were a cut above the others and were inferior to them. It was far more than 108,000 miles.
Previously, Qi Wenhan had felt that Li Guan and Zhang Xuan were still alright. However, compared to Lin Yi and Zhang Xuan, they were simply on a completely different level.
However. Qi Wenhan didn't say anything more. Otherwise, if he made Li Guan and Zhang Xuan unhappy and caused discord between them, this escort mission would really be a disaster.
After choosing the escorts. A group of people immediately came to the Hong Chamber of Commerce. Lin Yi took a look and found that the architectural style was exactly the same as that of the North Island branch. It was just that the scale was slightly smaller, but it was still generous and imposing.
Under Wei Zhaotong's guidance, Qi Wenhan brought Lin Yi and the other three people to personally inspect the goods. They were all boxes that had been sealed long ago, and no one knew what was inside. This was to prevent the escorts from stealing. It was a rule of the trade.
When the time came, the four of them only needed to send the sealed boxes to Fang House on Roc Island untouched, and it would be considered a success. If any of the sealed boxes were to be destroyed, it would be their responsibility.
After checking, Qi Wenhan gave Lin Yi and the other three a map of the Weiarc Territorial Waters. What was different from ordinary territorial maps was that there was a new route marked on it. It was personally marked by Qi Wenhan, and it was the route that the four of them would take.
The reason for this was also a rule of the trade. In order to prevent spies from appearing, the specific route for any escort mission was absolutely confidential. It would only be handed over to the escorts before the mission.
As long as the route was not leaked, even if the scoundrels got wind of it in advance and found out about the destination, they wouldn't be able to wait for them. This was because they didn't know which route was the real one.
When everything was ready, Wei Zhaotong walked over and repeatedly reminded Lin Yi and the others, "My Hong Chamber of Commerce will be in your hands this time! The goods this time are very valuable. To be honest, the value is at least 300,000 spirit jades. This is an astronomical figure, and if something goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable. I hope that you will do your best. When you return, I will hold a celebratory feast for you. There will be other rewards! "
"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Wei. We won't dare to be negligent." Lin Yi and the others shivered. Three hundred thousand Spirit Jades was not a small number at all. It was indeed a big deal.
"According to the route I gave you, if everything goes smoothly, you will not encounter any pirates. In fact, it will be a deserted area. However, this doesn't mean that there is no risk." Qi Wenhan also reminded them, "There is an old saying in our escort agency. Danger always happens when it's impossible. You must be vigilant and not let your guard down."
"Young Master, don't worry. This is not our first time on an escort mission. We know what to do." Li Yanji and Guan Zhiyuan nodded in agreement.
"Alright. Both of you are experienced escorts, and this is a heavy responsibility. Young Master Ling and Miss Huang are both newcomers, and they don't know much about our trade. I hope that you'll be able to teach us a thing or two, and do your part for our Equal Escort Agency." Qi Wenhan cupped his hands in greeting. Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao followed suit.
"Yes, we know what to do." Li Yanji and Guan Zhiyuan looked at each other.
After exhorting them, the four of them did not linger. After bidding farewell to Qi Wenhan and Wei Zhaotong, they immediately set sail from the sea port.
The route that Qi Wenhan had given them just now had already indicated that they had to travel by water and not by air.
"Brother Li, Brother Guan, I have a question in my heart, and I would like the two of you to enlighten me. Why are we taking the water route and not flying spirit beasts?" Lin Yi couldn't help but ask curiously. Huang Xiaotao was equally confused.
