"If that's the case, then I'll take my leave. Rest well, Master Lin, we'll meet again tonight." Zhuang Yifan said tactfully. He thought that Lin Yi was just worried about his image, and that was why he was putting up a front in front of him. If he didn't know what was good for him and left immediately, it would be troublesome if this young Mystic first level refiner were to die from exhaustion.
"Alright, let's meet again tonight." Lin Yi stood up to see him off.
However, before the two left the guest room, Zhuang Yifan suddenly stopped and said, "Every year after the Path of the Magnate, there will be a celebration banquet. Every school will send people to participate. I feel that there's no time like the present, so I might as well hold it together with tonight's banquet. What do you think, Master Lin?"
"This is a matter for the school alliance. President Zhuang can arrange it, I have no objections." Lin Yi looked at him strangely. Was there a need to discuss something like this with an outsider?
"Then it's settled. Master Lin, you can ask Chancellor Li to come with you. Just tell him that I saved a seat for him at the main table." Zhuang Yifan smiled meaningfully before bidding farewell to Lin Fan.
"Haha, this Zhuang Yifan sure knows how to act." Lin Yi smiled as he watched Zhuang Yifan leave. It was obvious that Zhuang Yifan was going to do Morning Star Academy a favor for Lin Yi's sake. Otherwise, with so many Golden Division schools, Morning Star Academy might not be able to get a seat at the main table. This was a rare opportunity for them to show their face.
After Zhuang Yifan left, Huo Yudie, Wang Xinyan, and Huang Xiaotao rushed in, followed by Liu Ziyu and Li Ren.
"How did it go? What did President Zhuang say? " Huo Yudie asked impatiently. Even though she'd heard the whole story from Wang Xinyan, she was still worried for Lin Yi. Lin Yi was only using the title of a Mystic first level alchemist to scare Zhuang Yifan, but if he came back to his senses, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Nothing much. He asked me to help him with alchemy and I agreed. It's that simple." Lin Yi shrugged as if nothing had happened.
"You agreed? What he wants to refine should be a Profound Tier Pill, can you really refine it? " Huo Yudie was instantly taken aback. Liu Ziyu and Li Ren also revealed bewildered expressions when they heard this. Only Wang Xinyan and Huang Xiaotao remained calm. They were already used to it.
"Won't we know whether this is possible or not once we try?" Lin Yi smiled slightly, with a hint of playfulness in the corner of his mouth, he said: "Even if it's a Mystic Grade First Level Alchemist, it's impossible to guarantee success every time. If I fail this time, it's also a very normal thing, right?"
"I see!" Only then did the crowd understand why Lin Yi dared to lie to a big shot like Zhuang Yifan. This was the key.
If it was just a simple lie, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens to deceive Zhuang Yifan. Even if he managed to fool him in the beginning, he would definitely give himself away later on. Lin Yi's clever lie was not necessarily a lie. It could very well become reality, and even if it didn't become reality, there would still be a reasonable explanation. Only with half truths and half lies could one be undefeatable.
"Right, Zhuang Yifan said that he's holding a celebratory feast tonight. Chancellor Li, he also said that there's a place for you at the main table." Lin Yi said on behalf of Li Ren.
"What? Isn't the celebratory feast supposed to be held at the Thunderous City headquarters after the trial is over? Why is it suddenly brought forward? " Li Ren didn't react for a moment. After a moment of daze, he stuttered: "The main table … there's a place for me?"
"That's right, that's exactly what he said. So prepare yourself, we'll go together tonight." Lin Yi nodded.
"This is really a big surprise!" Li Ren took a deep breath and solemnly bowed to Lin Yi: "Master Lin, on behalf of the Morning Star Academy, I thank you for your great kindness!"
"Hehe, Chancellor Li, you're too kind. I've troubled the Morning Star Academy for so long, this is something I should do. Besides, even if you really want to thank someone, you should thank Zhuang Yifan. He was the one who suggested it." Lin Yi smiled and shook his head.
"No, if it weren't for you, President Zhuang wouldn't have taken such good care of our Morning Star Academy." Li Ren waved his hands and explained: "Master Lin, you might not know this, but the celebratory feast every year is to celebrate the path to becoming a Magnate, but it's actually related to the re-ranking of all the Golden Tier Academies. The closer the academy is to the main table, the more attention they'll receive from the Alliance in the future, and the more training resources they'll receive! In the past, only a few of the top Golden Grade Academies were able to occupy a seat at the main table. They were all like the Leidong Academy and the Tripod City Academy. Our Morning Star Academy has never received such an honor! "
Li Ren became more and more excited as he spoke, and by the end, his face was glowing. If he could represent the Morning Star Academy and occupy a seat at the main table, it would be entirely due to Lin Yi's efforts, but as the chancellor leading the team, he would also have made a huge contribution. When he returned to the academy, he would be rewarded handsomely, and he would be promoted three ranks in a row!
"So there's such a thing. If that's the case, then Zhuang Yifan has really given us a big gift." Lin Yi suddenly understood.
He'd thought that at most it would just be a meal and a show of his face. He didn't think that there would be such a deep meaning. Zhuang Yifan was indirectly showing that he had the ability to support the Morning Star Academy. Of course, the prerequisite was that Lin Yi had to help him concoct the pills. Otherwise, he could easily crush the Morning Star Academy.
"Ever since President Zhuang took over the leadership of the Golden Tier Academy Alliance, he's always been balanced. He rarely takes the initiative to support a certain academy. For your academy to be able to gain his favor, it's only a matter of time before you can stand shoulder to shoulder with those top academies. It's truly a cause for celebration." Liu Ziyu said with a smile, but her expression was a little complicated.
This was a good thing for both fame and fortune. For the Morning Star Academy, it was naturally a joyous occasion, but for her Morning Pride Academy, it wasn't so good. Their arch-enemy had suddenly skyrocketed, and anyone standing in the Morning Pride Academy's position would probably not be able to laugh.
"Congratulations to you too." Li Ren was still immersed in his ecstasy, and only reacted after he subconsciously finished speaking. His expression immediately became extremely awkward. The other party was the vice-principal of the Morning Pride Academy, congratulations my ass!
For a moment, the atmosphere in the guest hall became a little strange. As a guest, Liu Ziyu had mixed feelings, and as the host, Li Ren also had an embarrassed expression, not knowing what to say. The scene immediately fell into a deadlock.
