Ren Zhongyuan wasn't the only one who was shocked. Huo Yudie was just as shocked. She looked at Lin Yi blankly, completely confused.
"This is my …" Lin Yi paused, then winked at Huo Yudie and smiled. "My girlfriend, Huo Yudie from the Morning Pride Academy."
"Girlfriend? What do you mean? " Zhuang Yifan didn't understand the term, and he put on a look of understanding. "Oh, a female friend, right? I didn't expect Master Lin to be so humorous, haha."
He thought that Lin Yi was joking, so he played along and smiled. He didn't know that Lin Yi's words were like a public confession!
Zhuang Yifan and the others didn't understand, but Huo Yudie did. She blushed and looked at Lin Yi tenderly. She wanted to say something, but then realized that the situation wasn't right. She quickly swallowed her girlish thoughts and looked at Zhuang Yifan. Wasn't this guild leader here to capture Lin Yi?
"Since everyone's here, why don't we all sit on the boat?" Lin Yi extended the invitation with a smile, giving Wang Xinyan and Huang Xiaotao a look at the same time. Huo Yudie and Liu Ziyu must be full of questions right now, and they needed someone to explain the whole story to them.
Everyone nodded. Li Ren took the lead, Lin Yi in the middle, Zhuang Yifan purposely a step behind, and the others trailed behind. It was a lively scene.
Bao Zuoliang and Su Kesheng, who had stayed on the boat to watch the show, almost had their eyes fall out of their sockets. They were as depressed as Ren Zhongyuan. It was supposed to be a perfect scenario for Lin Yi's death, so how did things turn out like this?
Even though they were depressed, it was clearly not their place to speak. Even Li Ren, the head chancellor, was trembling beside Zhuang Yifan, not to mention the academy disciples.
They couldn't do anything other than greet Zhuang Yifan from afar. They didn't dare take a step closer, either, and could only watch as Li Ren invited Lin Yi and Zhuang Yifan into the guest room. Other than Liu Ziyu, only Lin Yi and the other girls had the right to follow.
"What the hell is going on? Didn't you say that Lin Yi was going to die? Why is he hooking up with the guild leader? "Bao Zuoliang was furious.
"I don't know. Logically speaking, the president should be standing up for Cauldron City Academy. After all, there's no way Cauldron City Academy would let this go. Their position in the Golden Step Academy Alliance is very high. There's no way the president wouldn't give them face." Su Kesheng's face was gloomy.
"It can't be that Lin Yi's face is bigger than Tripod City Academy's, right?" Bao Zuoliang suddenly scared himself.
"Maybe … it's possible …" Kesheng suddenly thought of Lin Yi's legendary identity as a mystic stage alchemist. There was no other explanation.
"Damn it! Let this brat escape a calamity again! " Bao Zuoliang punched the ground in frustration. He had no choice but to hide in his room and drink his sorrows. If he did not drown his sorrows in alcohol, he was afraid that he would do something impulsive in front of the Alliance Master. That would be a joke.
Everyone sat down in the guest room. After exchanging pleasantries for a long time, Lin Yi had no choice but to sit in the main seat. Zhuang Yifan was here for him. If he didn't sit in the main seat, was he supposed to let Li Ren sit? Li Ren wouldn't dare to take the seat even if he was beaten to death.
"I've seen at least eighty super geniuses, but it's the first time I've seen someone as amazing as Master Lin. The north island really is a place where masters come from," Zhuang Yifan complimented as soon as he sat down.
"You're flattering me, Guild Leader Zhuang." Lin Yi smiled faintly and didn't refute. After all, he couldn't say that the north island was a weak place, could he?
Plus, he'd claimed to be Shanghai Tianhua and Zhang Liju's disciple, as well as a mystic stage one refiner. He had to act tough to the end. He couldn't just give up halfway. Otherwise, it'd be troublesome if Zhuang Yifan got suspicious.
"Haha, Master Lin, you're too humble. Forgive me for asking, but Master Lin, are you planning to stay in East Continent for a long time, or are you here to join the path of a tyrant? If you're interested in staying in East Continent for a long time, I have a good relationship with a few of the principals of the Mystic schools. I'm sure they'll come to you no matter what. What do you think, Master Lin? "Zhuang Yifan said, trying to please Lin Yi.
The suggestion brightened everyone's eyes. For most of the students, the next thing they needed to think about after breaking through was how to get into the higher level Mystic schools.
Not every Mystic ascension stage master could get into a Mystic school- it was extremely difficult, even more so than when they tried their best to get into the Golden school.
The reason was very simple. Although the number of Profound Ascending stage masters was much less than that of Nascent Soul stage masters, but at the same time, the cultivation resources that could be effective for Profound Ascending stage masters were much less, and the competition was much fiercer. Naturally, the quota for the Xuanjie Academy was much more precious.
With Lin Yi's talent and strength, he wouldn't have to worry about not having a spot in the Mystic schools. However, there was no guarantee of his position in the school. If he was just a normal disciple and not a core disciple, then it'd be a huge problem.
But if Zhuang Yifan personally introduced him, then things would be different. A core disciple's identity would be unavoidable. This was much better than going to the Mystic school selection alone.
"I appreciate your kindness, Headmaster Zhuang, but I don't have plans to stay in East Continent any longer. We'll talk about Mystic schools in the future," Lin Yi rejected without hesitation.
It wasn't that he didn't want to accept the favor, but he really didn't have any plans. It was the same reason why he didn't want to come to East Continent to join the Golden school. People like him could only improve faster by training outside. Joining a Mystic school would restrict him, so he might as well go out on his own.
