Although this Lord Dean didn't have the intention to kill, Cheng Ketian's mistake was placed in front of him, and Qin Deli was almost scared to the point of collapsing. He looked at Wei Zhaotong, who was hiding in the corner, and stammered, "I … I … I heard this from Shopkeeper Wei … so I came to report it to the Dean …"
Everyone's gaze landed on Wei Zhaotong. No matter how much Wei Zhaotong hid in the corner, he could only brace himself and stand out.
"I actually heard it from Cheng Ketian … but … he's already dead … I didn't think he was this kind of person …" Wei Zhaotong explained with an embarrassed expression.
"In the end, you're blaming it all on a dead person?" Ling Yuanqing couldn't help but feel somewhat annoyed. Qin Deli and Wei Zhaotong were immediately frightened when they heard this. If this big shot was as angry as the Divine Nun of the Eastern Sea, then the two of them would really have to accompany Cheng Ketian.
However, Ling Yuanqing was the dean of the Morning Star Academy after all, and he wasn't like the Divine Nun of the Eastern Sea who had her reverse scale touched. He wouldn't casually kill people, so he didn't plan on looking into this matter any further. There was no point.
He knew Wei Zhaotong. Back when he was a vice-shopkeeper in the Gaolin Sea of the Eastern Continent, he often went to the Morning Star Academy. Now that he was a shopkeeper in the Weiarc Sea, he was still a member of the Hong Merchant Group. Ling Yuanqing wouldn't go so far as to make a move on someone from the Hong Merchant Group over such a small matter.
"Since that's the case, let's go back." Ling Yuanqing finally spoke. At the side, Wei Hebei let out a regretful sigh. He had come full of hope, but in the end, he had returned empty-handed. The so-called super genius that could instantly kill someone of a higher realm, but in the end, he had made such a blunder. How could he endure this?
However, regret was regret. The truth had already come to light. The three of them were great figures of the Mountain Opening Stage, so they couldn't stay in the tiny Heaven's Equal Escort Agency for too long. Otherwise, they would be seen by outsiders who didn't know what kind of relationship the Morning Star Academy had with the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency.
The group stood up immediately, but Xinyan spoke up instead. "Master, Xiaotao is Master Ling Yi's junior, and we've worked together in the Equal's Escort Agency before. It'd be a little unreasonable to let her go back with us like this. Why don't I stay with Xiaotao and treat them to a meal? It'll be a final farewell."
"Alright, then when you go back tonight, I'll tell you something. Be careful on the road. " The Divine Nun of the East Sea nodded in agreement. She had always doted on her two disciples, so she obviously would not turn down such a reasonable request.
"Don't worry, Senior. Our escort agency will escort them back together," Lin Yi quickly said.
"That's right. Although our Equal Heaven Escort Agency is only a small escort agency, we still have some deterrence in a place like Velvet Arc City. We won't let anyone spoil the mood of the two young ladies. "Qi Wenhan also guaranteed.
"En, I'll have to trouble you then." The Divine Nun of the East Sea nodded before leaving with Ling Yuanqing and the others. Lin Yi and the others saw them off at the entrance. Only then did he turn around.
"Brother Ling, I was wondering why Escort Huang didn't return. I was worried that something might have happened to her and didn't dare to ask you about it. Who would have thought that he would be chosen by the Morning Star Academy to become the personal disciple of the Godly Nun of the Eastern Sea! Brother Ling, you're too mean, not even telling me about this kind of thing! "Qi Wenhan pretended to grumble as he patted Lin Yi's shoulder.
"Hehe. Brother Qi, you never asked me before, so I couldn't bring it up. Otherwise, people would think I was showing off or even bragging! "Lin Yi smiled.
If it were anyone else, they would be eager to let the entire world know if their junior sister managed to climb up the social ladder and become the personal disciple of the Divine Nun of the East Sea. However, with his low-key personality, why would he do something like that?
Not to mention that in terms of strength, potential, and heritage, Lin Yi was definitely a first-rate existence, and this was just him being humble.
Other people would treat a major figure of the Godly Nun of the East Sea with reverence, but he would only look up to her at most. There would be a day when he would stand shoulder to shoulder with her, or even surpass her. As a result, he obviously did not believe that Huang Xiaotao was climbing up the social ladder by becoming her disciple. At most, he felt that the Divine Nun of the East Sea would not mistreat Huang Xiaotao.
"That's true. Escort Huang has never said anything before, so those who don't know really find it hard to believe." Qi Wenhan chuckled and said excitedly, "This is a joyous occasion. We have to celebrate it properly!"
Today was a joyous day for him and the entire Heaven's Equal Escort Agency. The arrival of the three major figures of the Godly Sect was enough to make the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency famous across the entire South Continent, or even in the upcoming escort agency gathering.
However, what made Qi Wenhan even happier was that Cheng Ketian was dead! And he had died to the hands of the Divine Nun of the East Sea. He had endured this guy for a very long time, but he could not do anything about it. He never thought that he would be able to eliminate a great rival without any warning. Even the legendary pie falling from the sky could not compare to this!
Moreover, Huang Xiaotao, who had always been missing, had actually become the personal disciple of the Divine Nun of the East Sea in the blink of an eye. This meant that as long as the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency maintained a good relationship with Ling Yi, they would also be able to rope in this super genius of the Morning Star Academy.
He did not dare to say that he would be able to make the Divine Nun of the East Sea look at him in a different light, but even so, this was still an extremely enviable network. After all, a super genius that even the three major figures of the Morning Star Academy valued so much meant that he was destined to have a bright future ahead of him. Who knows, he might even be able to lean on a big tree and enjoy its shade!
After listing all these good things, Qi Wenhan felt that he was simply blessed with good fortune. In the end, all of this was brought to him by Lin Yi. He immediately felt that he was really smart. Fortunately, he had taken a liking to Lin Yi at the docks back then, which was why he had so many good things coming his way today.
Otherwise, not to mention so many good things, just the previous robbery incident alone would have kept him in the dark from the beginning to the end. Who knows, he might even be a fool now, being played around by that old fox Wei Zhaotong!
"Brother Ling, accompany the two ladies and chat for a while. I'll go arrange a banquet and treat you both to a good meal!" Qi Wenhan said excitedly. After excusing himself to the two ladies, he personally led his men to arrange the banquet.
"Then let's go to my room for a while." Lin Yi smiled as he brought Xinyan and Huang Xiaotao to his room. After all, this was the best guest room in the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency, and the decorations were quite elegant. There was a small living room in the room, just enough for the three of them to talk.
As soon as they got back to the room, the two girls could no longer hold themselves back. One on the left and the other on the right, they flew into Lin Yi's arms. The three of them hugged each other, and there was no physiological impulse that would make one blush. Instead, there was a faint but lingering sense of warmth, as if they were reuniting with family.
