This was an obvious fact. If it were someone else in his position, he might not be able to see it clearly in a short time, let alone accept it calmly. But Lu Bianren was different. He was sincerely thinking for Lin Yi, and he would never stay in the South Continent to do stupid things for the sake of his ridiculous self-esteem, which would implicate Lin Yi.
"Senior Brother Lu, I'm glad you think so." Hearing this, Lin Yi let out a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he couldn't help but think more highly of Lu Bianren. He was afraid that Lu Bianren would be embarrassed, but he didn't expect Lu Bianren to be so straightforward. He nodded in agreement and said, "It's beyond my power now. Just bear it and wait for a good opportunity in the future."
"Well, junior brother, you're right. I'll leave now and go back to the North Island." Lu Bianren made a prompt decision. He knew that every moment he stayed in Devil Leng City was a moment of risk and hidden danger. Since he had decided to leave, he shouldn't hesitate. It was better to leave before the Central Chamber of Commerce fully reacted.
"Senior Brother Lu, wait." Lin Yi hurriedly stopped him and said, "The power of the Central Chamber of Commerce is beyond our imagination. Once they react, their people will be everywhere. Senior Brother Lu, if you go out like this, you'll be too obvious a target. It's very likely that you won't even be able to get out of the dock, and you'll be walking into a tiger's mouth again."
Lin Yi had been wearing the Thousand Silk Mask before. Now that he took it off, he was a completely different person, and nothing would happen when he went out.
But Lu Bianren was different. He had been locked in the dungeon for so long, and he had just escaped from it. The people of the Central Chamber of Commerce must have some impression of him. As long as the dock was blocked, if Lu Bianren went out like this, he would definitely walk into a trap.
"This …" Lu Bianren also hesitated. He didn't want to involve Lin Yi or Lin Yi, but he wasn't so fearless that he would take the initiative to die. Otherwise, why would Lin Yi spend so much effort to save him?
But if he stayed here, the risk was not small. The risk was also not small. In the eyes of others, the Central Chamber of Commerce was just a newly risen large-scale Chamber of Commerce, but Lu Bianren and the others who had seen the dark inside stories had a much deeper understanding of the power of the Central Chamber of Commerce than others.
If the people from the Central Chamber of Commerce really wanted to chase after him, once they really mobilized a large force, Lu Bianren would be discovered sooner or later if he continued to hide here. There was no room for luck at all.
If he left now, there was a high chance that he would be stuck at the dock. However, it was also possible that someone would come knocking on his door. For a moment, Lu Bianren was caught in a dilemma.
Just as they were in a dilemma, there was a sudden knock on the door. Lin Yi and Lu Bianren couldn't help but be startled at the same time. The first thought that popped into their minds was that the people from the Central Chamber of Commerce had caught up so quickly?
"Who?" Lin Yi gave Lu Bianren a wink, signaling him to hide in his room, and asked in a deep voice.
"Brother Ling. It was me. " Qi Wenhan's voice came from outside the door. Lin Yi let out a sigh of relief. He went to open the door and let Qi Wenhan in.
"Aiya. Brother Ling, I've finally found you. Why did you leave by yourself first? I thought you had suddenly disappeared, making me worry for nothing! "Qi Wenhan was in a hurry, both surprised and complaining.
Previously, on the second floor of the Central Chamber of Commerce. He had just asked a few words with the shop assistant, and when he turned his head, Lin Yi had disappeared. At that time, his first reaction was that Lin Yi had gone up to the third floor. He wanted to chase after Lin Yi, but was stopped by the shop assistant, who said that the third floor was a private area, and was not open to people outside of the Central Chamber of Commerce!
At that time, Qi Wenhan didn't think much of it. Since the third floor was not open to the public, Lin Yi must have gone back to the first floor. After all, the goods on the first floor were much more interesting, and it was more interesting just to look at them.
However, when Qi Wenhan went down to the first floor and walked around, he still couldn't find Lin Yi. Even when he left the Central Chamber of Commerce and walked around the main street of Mo Leng City, he still couldn't find Lin Yi. Later, when he returned to the inn, there was still no trace of Lin Yi. This time, Qi Wenhan was really anxious.
For the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency, Lin Yi was not only a great benefactor, but also an honorary escort leader. More importantly, in the upcoming South Continent Escort Agency Grand Event, they were counting on Lin Yi to help the agency fight for a good ranking. How could he suddenly disappear?
If Lin Yi just went out to play, it would be fine. As long as nothing happened to him, everything would be fine. However, the problem was that although this Mo Leng City seemed to be much more orderly than Wei Arc City, it was still the South Continent Sea after all, and the nature of chaos could not be changed. If a stranger like Lin Yi appeared here, he might be targeted by some local bully!
No matter how strong Lin Yi was, he was only one person. Moreover, he was not at the level of a Mysterious Ascending Stage giant who could easily suppress an area. Once he was surrounded by people, he would be at a great disadvantage.
If something were to happen to Lin Yi here, then he, Qi Wenhan, wouldn't be able to absolve himself of the blame even if he died ten thousand times. He probably wouldn't even be able to keep his position as the young master anymore. After all, he was the one who first suggested going out to play. If something were to happen to Lin Yi because of this, then he would become the biggest sinner of the entire Equal Heaven Escort Agency!
In just a short period of four to six hours, the news of Lin Yi's disappearance had already spread throughout the agency. Even Housekeeper Song was preparing to arrange for everyone to go out and search for him. The only thing left was to call Qi Mingyuan, the head escort leader, back.
As for Qi Wenhan, he was frantically searching everywhere. He had walked the road between the Central Chamber of Commerce and the inn at least seven or eight times. He was really anxious. If he still could not find Lin Yi, he could not wait to find Qi Mingyuan to apologize.
Fortunately, he had just heard from the waiter that someone had returned from Lin Yi's room. That was why he hurried over to check on the situation. When he saw that Lin Yi was standing there safe and sound, he immediately let out a sigh of relief. His whole body felt deflated.
"I'm sorry to have made you worry, Brother Qi." Lin Yi saw how worried Qi Wenhan was, and felt a little touched. It had happened so suddenly that he couldn't help it, but he still felt a little bad about it. "I saw that you were really engrossed, so I went downstairs myself. I didn't think that I'd run into someone I knew, so I left after a few words. I'm really sorry."
The reason why Lin Yi did not tell the truth was mainly because he did not want to drag the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency into this. The Central Chamber of Commerce's power was too great. A mere Heaven's Equal Escort Agency was not a match at all, and would only be caught in the crossfire.
"Hey, what's wrong with that? Of course, old friends should chat a little longer when they meet." Qi Wenhan waved his hand indifferently and said magnanimously, "It's good that you're fine. I was just worried that Brother Ling would run into Cheng Haonan and the others from the Poison Eye Mercenary Band. They might come looking for trouble with you. After all, two fists are no match for four hands." (The school belle's personal expert tribe is currently holding a Study Day activity. Everyone, hurry up and participate! The previous chapter about the Academy's three heads being at the beginning of the mountain was a mistake.
