Thinking up to this point, Chang Minggui couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Zhuang Yifan was too terrifying. His strength was unfathomable, and he was unscrupulous when it came to handling matters. Once he got the chance, Chang Minggui and Cauldron City would definitely be swallowed whole.
"Take care." Zhuang Yifan's eyes carried a tinge of regret. Chang Minggui had guessed some of his thoughts. Of course, this was not the result of his careful planning. He was just going with the flow. If Chang Minggui had presented such a big weakness to him, he would not have held back.
Unfortunately, Chang Minggui was not a simple-minded man. In the end, he chose to control himself. This way, Zhuang Yifan couldn't do anything to him and let him go.
"Hmph!" Chang Minggui glared at Lin Yi one last time, like a hungry wolf eyeing a lamb, sending chills down one's spine. He didn't even need to think to know that this guy wouldn't let Lin Yi go, but with Zhuang Yifan's power and influence, he had to suppress it no matter how unwilling he was.
Watching Chang Minggui leave, Zhuang Yifan looked at Lin Yi and reminded him, "I'm sorry for scaring Master Lin. But this leader Chang is known as the Ghost of Death. Even if you get rid of him this time, there will be a next time. Be careful, Master Lin."
"Thank you for the reminder, President Zhuang. I understand." Lin Yi nodded.
"I think Master Lin should stay for a few more days. At least in this division, no one would dare to mess with you." Zhuang Yifan suggested.
"President Zhuang, I appreciate your kindness, but there is no need." Lin Yi declined without hesitation.
If he was a little timid, he might have been scared by Chang Minggui. After all, there was nothing wrong with staying here for a while. Plus, there was Zhuang Yifan, a super master in the advanced stage of the Earth Opening Realm, to guarantee his safety. But if he was so easily scared, he wouldn't be the Lin Yi he was today.
"Oh, if that's the case, then Master Lin should be extra careful. Chang Minggui is someone who can do anything. If Master Lin needs anything, you can call me at any time. I will not refuse. " Zhuang Yifan's expression was solemn. He wasn't being insincere, but he was truly afraid that something would happen to Lin Yi. After all, Lin Yi was the Quasi-Mystic Second Level Alchemist that he had bet on. If Lin Yi died, then everything would be in vain.
"Thank you, President Zhuang." Lin Yi smiled and said, "It's getting late. I think it's time for us to leave. "
"Very well. I'll walk Master Lin out. "Zhuang Yifan immediately stood up.
"There's no need for that. President Zhuang, please wait. See you again." Lin Yi waved his hand and led the way out of the banquet hall under everyone's gaze. He didn't seem to care about Chang Minggui at all.
Although Lin Yi had rejected him a few times, Zhuang Yifan still personally walked them to the main entrance of the Alliance branch before stopping. If not for Lin Yi's repeated rejections, he would definitely have escorted them to the Morning Star treasure ship. "Master Lin, are you sure it's okay for us to leave like this?"
"Master Lin, are you sure it's okay for us to leave just like this?" Li Ren turned around and looked at the Alliance branch shrouded in the night. His heart trembled, afraid that Chang Minggui would come out at any moment.
Although they didn't say anything, Liu Ziyu, Wang Xinyan, and the others were all looking at Lin Yi with worried expressions. Being stared at by a magnate late stage of the mountain opening realm was indeed not a good feeling. This sense of danger, as if there was a dagger on one's back, was enough to cause one's spirit to collapse. Not to mention Lin Yi, the person in question, even the few of them couldn't take it.
"If I say it's okay, would you believe me?" Lin Yi didn't answer but asked a question instead.
"That's impossible. Although I haven't had any dealings with Chang Minggui, he's known to take revenge for the smallest grievance. Since he's already at his doorstep, he won't let the matter rest. "Liu Ziyu's expression was solemn. It was a bit too much for her to deal with Chang Minggui with her strength. At the Mountain Opening Stage, it was easier said than done to defeat someone stronger.
"Indeed, I never thought that he would let me go." Lin Yi chuckled.
"Then why did you reject Zhuang Yifan's suggestion? From the situation just now, Chang Minggui is very afraid of him. Staying with him should be very safe. You can hide for a while, and then you can follow Zhuang Yifan to the Morning Star Academy or the Morning Pride Academy. That way, there won't be any mistakes. "Liu Ziyu frowned.
From her point of view, although Lin Yi repeatedly gave people unexpected surprises, he still wasn't mature enough when it came to dealing with people. It was probably his arrogance that made him reject Zhuang Yifan's suggestion. But now that his life was at stake, was this the time to be arrogant?
"Aunt Liu is right. Actually, I was thinking the same thing, but after thinking about it, I still feel that this isn't very good." Lin Yi shook his head.
"Why not?" Wang Xinyan asked.
"You can only be a thief for a thousand days, how can you guard against a thief for a thousand days?" Lin Yi looked at them.
"You mean …" Liu Ziyu and the others were shocked by his words. If he really said the meaning behind it, it would really scare them to death. They never thought that Lin Yi would have such thoughts.
But then again, if this had happened to someone else, it would indeed be earth-shattering. But when it happened to Lin Yi, he had done many earth-shattering things, so he was naturally used to it.
Lin Yi took in everyone's shocked expressions and turned to Li Ren. "Right, I want to know if the defensive capabilities of the treasured ship can stop a late Mountain Opening expert?"
"That's hard to say. If it's operating at full power, it shouldn't be a problem, but if it's just docked here like now, with the defensive formations at the lowest level, I think it'll be very difficult." Li Ren thought about it.
"If that's the case, can I trouble Chancellor Li to help me spread the news that our treasured ship has decided to return to the Morning Star Academy early tomorrow morning? As for the other Morning Star disciples who haven't finished their trials, please let the Academy Alliance bring them along. Is that alright?" Lin Yi said as he pinched his chin.
"No problem, I'll do as Master Lin instructed," Li Ren agreed. He knew that as long as it was Lin Yi's intention, even if he acted on his own, he wouldn't be blamed at all. Moreover, this was only a small matter.
"Could it be that you're thinking of …?" Wang Xinyan seemed to be deep in thought. She had already roughly guessed what Lin Yi was thinking.
