"Young Hero Ling, please wait a moment." Housekeeper Song said as he quickly walked into the escort agency. A moment later, a large group of people came out, led by a burly man. He was tall and sturdy, and his entire body exuded a fierce and domineering aura. It could be said that he did not have to be angry to have an awe-inspiring presence.
Accompanying this burly man were the young master, Qi Wenhan, and Housekeeper Song. Without a doubt, this burly man was the head of the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency, Qi Wenhan's father, Chief Escort Qi Mingyuan!
"Hahahaha, Young Hero Ling, I've long heard of your name. It's a pity that I've always been busy, or else I would have flown back long ago to thank you in person. On behalf of the entire escort agency, I, Qi Mingyuan, thank you, Young Hero Ling, for your great kindness. I will never dare to forget it!" Qi Mingyuan cupped his fists and walked over with a hearty laugh.
Seeing this, Lin Yi could not help but praise him in his heart. Although this man seemed crude and boorish, there was a natural forthrightness in his actions. Even a stranger he had never met was able to close the distance between them in an instant. It was not a coincidence that the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency was able to become one of the top five escort agencies in the South Continent. There was a reason for this.
"Greetings, Chief Escort Qi. You're too kind. I've heard a lot about you, Chief Escort Qi. Today, my wish has been fulfilled." Lin Yi immediately responded with a smile. At the same time, he greeted Qi Wenhan, who was beside him, "Brother Qi, it's been a few days since we last met. How have you been?"
"How have you been? Father has returned today, so I took the liberty to invite Brother Ling over. I hope I didn't delay your official business." Qi Wenhan apologized.
"I'm just an idler. What business do I have? Besides, Chief Escort Qi has returned. As a nominal escort of the agency, even if Brother Qi didn't invite me, I would still have come to join in the fun." Lin Yi smiled as he shook his head.
"Haha, Young Hero Ling is a straightforward person, just to my liking. If it weren't for the fact that you and Wenhan are of the same generation, I would want to become sworn brothers with you! "Qi Mingyuan teased from the side. Everyone in the audience also followed and laughed loudly. It was a scene of joy and peace.
When Lin Yi heard this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Qi Wenhan's father was a wonderful person. He seemed rough and forthright, but he didn't seem out of place. Not only did he not feel the slightest constraint when interacting with him, but he was also relaxed and happy, which was very rare.
"By the way, I've specially invited Young Hero Ling over today. I have an important matter to announce to everyone in the escort agency. " Qi Mingyuan suddenly announced to the crowd in a clear voice. Everyone instantly quietened down and waited for him to continue. He then continued, "As the head of the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency, I hereby announce that from today onwards, Young Hero Ling will forever be the honorary head of the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency!"
The crowd burst into an uproar as soon as these words were spoken. In the entire Heaven's Equal Escort Agency, aside from Qi Mingyuan, the Chief Escort Agency, there were only a handful of escorts who could become an escort leader. Any escort leader was the absolute core of the agency, and their status and treatment were far superior to that of ordinary escorts.
As for the one that Qi Mingyuan had promised to Lin Yi, although the word 'honorary' had been added in front, it was still more powerful than the actual power of an escort leader. To a greater extent, it was actually a halo of status. Even so, it still caused everyone in the audience to be green with envy.
This was because this not only represented the high status in the agency. At the same time, it also meant that if Lin Yi needed it, he could mobilize the power of the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency at any time and place. The power he wielded was not to be underestimated.
"How can this be?" Lin Yi was also a little shocked. This was different from the honorary professorship in the secular world's universities. It was not just a mere title. If they really wanted to use this as an excuse, there was a huge profit to be made. To the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency, this was an undeniably heavy gift!
"Young Hero Ling, listen to me. Don't be in a hurry to reject me." Qi Mingyuan smiled as he explained, "I'm not doing this because I want to tie you down or do anything. With your strength and status, I know that this is unrealistic. I'm doing this purely to express the agency's gratitude to you. This time, the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency was able to regain its reputation and recoup its losses. This is all because of your strength alone. Giving you only the title of Honorary Head of Escort Agency for such a great favor is already considered very lenient."
"That's right. This is our sincerity, and it was not a spur of the moment decision. It was a decision that my father made after careful consideration. Brother Ling, don't reject it," Qi Wenhan, who was standing at the side, also tried to persuade him.
"Then … alright, it would be impolite for me to refuse." Seeing this, Lin Yi could only nod. After all, the title of Honorary Escort Agency Leader was only a title in name. He did not need to stay in the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency forever, so it did not matter to him. After all, he already had the title of Honorary Vice President of the Hong Chamber of Commerce. Now that he had the title of Honorary Escort Agency Leader, it did not matter much.
"Haha, that's great! Young Hero Ling is indeed a straightforward person. This is how it should be!" Qi Mingyuan, Qi Wenhan, and the others immediately looked delighted. They crowded around Lin Yi enthusiastically and said, "Come, please come in. The banquet is ready. Let's have a good meal."
The crowd entered the banquet hall and gave way to Lin Yi. Qi Mingyuan and Qi Wenhan, the father and son, personally accompanied him on both sides. On the dining table, there were all kinds of priceless delicacies. A rough estimate was that this table of dishes alone would cost at least a thousand spirit jades.
"Hehe, as the saying goes, the tongue is short of the mouth. Chief Escort Agency Leader Qi, it seems that this time, I have no choice but to participate in the South Continent's Escort Agency Gathering." Lin Yi could not help but laugh.
"This is all up to Young Hero Ling. If it's convenient for you to help us, we would naturally be more than happy. But if it's not convenient, that's fine too. We can all understand. Young Hero Ling, please don't worry about this kind of thing. Otherwise, we will really feel sorry for you," Qi Mingyuan said with a serious expression.
He was speaking from the bottom of his heart, and he knew that forcing Lin Yi to come out wasn't going to make him use his full strength. Just making Lin Yi feel uncomfortable wasn't worth it, and it wasn't worth it if they forced Lin Yi to come out. Not to mention how much of his strength Lin Yi was willing to use when the time came, it wasn't worth it.
"Yes, yes, Brother Ling, there's one more thing I want to tell you. There's some progress on the matter you asked us to find out," Qi Wenhan said from the side.
"Oh?" Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and his eyes immediately lit up. "How is it?"
"This person, Wu Bao Liang, is indeed still in the Wei Arc Territorial Waters. And as far as I know, ever since he came here, he has never left. He has always been staying in Wei Arc City!" Qi Wenhan said.
