"That's right! Great, that's great, Lin Yi is dead for sure! " Bao Zuoliang was so excited that he laughed heartily. Even if you beat them to death, they wouldn't have thought that the Mountain Opening Stage Magnate was already dead and had already become Lin Yi's stepping stone.
Just as the two of them were rejoicing in Lin Yi's misfortune, their expressions suddenly froze at the same time. They were shocked to see that Lin Yi and the rest had actually returned unscathed, and there was no sign of the Alliance's guards.
"What's going on?" Bao Zuoliang was dumbfounded. This was completely different from what he had expected.
"It's indeed a little strange, but we can confirm that Lin Yi has indeed committed a crime. Young Master Bao, look, even the President of the Alliance was alarmed, and he actually personally escorted him back. It's obvious how serious this matter is!" Su Kesheng immediately saw through the "truth".
"That's right, you're still the one who sees things clearly. You hit the nail on the head, I almost thought that he had escaped unscathed!" Bao Zuoliang immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
As the two of them spoke, the rest of the people on the boat also saw Lin Yi and the rest. Suddenly seeing Zhuang Yifan, the Chancellor who was at his wits' end suddenly jumped in fright. Without caring about anything else, he immediately rushed off the boat to welcome them.
"I am the Chancellor of the Morning Star Academy, Li Ren. I didn't know that President Zhuang would personally come, so I didn't welcome you. Please forgive me, President Zhuang." Li Ren respectfully greeted him.
Although he was relieved to see that Lin Yi and the rest were unscathed, Zhuang Yifan's personal appearance still made his heart tremble. Because of the previous news, he and Bao Zuoliang had the same preconceived idea that Zhuang Yifan had personally escorted Lin Yi back.
"Chancellor Li, you're exaggerating." Zhuang Yifan calmly waved his hand, not in the mood to talk to Li Ren. He was the dignified President of the Alliance, while the other party was just a lowly Chancellor. Both of them were far apart in terms of strength and status.
He, Zhuang Yifan, could humble himself in front of Mystic alchemists like Zang Zili and Lin Yi, but in front of these people, he was the high and mighty leader of the Union, with an intimidating aura, full of authority.
Under normal circumstances, Li Ren would not have dared to speak to Zhuang Yifan. However, he had no choice but to do so. He could only bite the bullet and apologize, "President Zhuang, Master Lin is an important guest of our Morning Star Academy. His participation in the Path of the Magnate was approved by the Alliance Headquarters. Since he is not familiar with the rules of the Academy Alliance, I hope President Zhuang will forgive him if he has done anything wrong. Our Morning Star Academy will take full responsibility!"
"Shoulder all the responsibility?" Zhuang Yifan looked at him strangely. If Lin Yi wasn't a Mystic Rank 1 Alchemist, he would have died a thousand times over for what he had done. Even Zang Zili was beaten to the point of death. How could a mere Morning Star Academy take full responsibility for this?
Zang Zili was the Chief Alchemist of the Tripod City Academy. He was the leader of the Alchemists in the entire Yellow Class Sea Region. Now that something had happened to her, even an idiot would know that the Tripod City Academy would not let this go easily.
Although the Morning Star Academy was not weak, it was still lacking compared to the Tripod City Academy, which was the cradle of Alchemists. If they really fought to the death, the Morning Star Academy would most likely collapse.
Of course, the more likely scenario was that the Morning Star Academy realized that the situation wasn't looking good, and pushed Lin Yi out for the Tripod City Academy to vent their anger, abandoning the pawn to protect the rook.
However, that was based on the premise that Lin Yi was only a student of an ordinary academy. Judging from Lin Yi's feat of going against the tide and defeating Zang Zili, this assumption was obviously unreliable. Moreover, he was a Mystic Rank 1 Alchemist. With such an important figure, the Morning Star Academy would probably fight to the bitter end, even if it meant perishing indiscriminately.
After all, as long as Lin Yi matured, he would be a heavenly protective umbrella. If the Morning Star Academy could receive his full support, it wouldn't be impossible for the Yellow Class Academy to become a Mystic Class Academy in one fell swoop. As long as the Morning Star Academy's three magnates weren't stupid, they would definitely protect him at all costs. Therefore, Li Ren's statement of taking full responsibility wasn't out of line.
"Could it be that Master Lin has made a huge mess of things?" Seeing Zhuang Yifan's strange gaze, Li Ren's heart skipped a beat. The difference in their levels was too big. If the other party really wanted to do something to Lin Yi, he wouldn't be able to stop him.
"A huge mess of things? You could say that. To others, it would indeed be a huge mess of things, but to Master Lin, it's too much of an exaggeration. At most, it's just a small inconvenience. " Zhuang Yifan smiled reservedly. He had already given Lin Yi a lot of face by saying this much. It was impossible for him to explain any further. At least, Li Ren definitely didn't have that much face.
"Small inconvenience?" Li Ren was stunned. This was completely different from the information he had just received. Those people had said that Lin Yi had killed two Chancellors of the Cauldron City Academy. How could this be considered a small inconvenience?
Zhuang Yifan had no interest in explaining to him. He turned to Lin Yi and smiled apologetically. "Master Lin, I won't disturb you on the ship. I don't think you welcome me …"
Although he said this, he didn't have any intention of leaving. His intentions were clear. Now that Zang Zili, whom he had spent so much effort to invite, was dead or alive, if he allowed Lin Yi to slip away, then he would really be screwed. Compared to the grand alchemy plan, his reputation as the president of the Alliance was not worth mentioning.
Lin Yi looked at the confused Li Ren, then looked at Zhuang Yifan, who was putting on an act. Lin Yi couldn't help but feel helpless. Since Zhuang Yifan was so thick-skinned, he couldn't just play dumb and let him go, could he? He was the guild leader of the Alliance, after all, and that would be too much.
Moreover, Zhuang Yifan was the president of the Alliance. These Huang-Stage Academies wouldn't even be able to invite him normally. If he was willing to board the Morning Star Academy's treasured ship, then it would be a great honor for the Academy. This was a good opportunity to show off in front of all the other academies!
"President Zhuang, what are you saying? You're a distinguished guest that no one can invite. Since you're already here, why don't you board for a while? Otherwise, if word got out, wouldn't it damage the reputation of the Morning Star Academy? Outsiders would say that the Morning Star Academy doesn't know how to behave properly. I wouldn't dare let the Morning Star Academy take this kind of blame, "Lin Yi said with a smile.
"Master Lin, it would be impolite of me to refuse. No matter what, I can't tarnish the reputation of the Master Lin, hehe." Zhuang Yifan immediately found Lin Yi to be even more pleasing to the eye. It was rare to see such a super genius. This kid's future was limitless.
