"There's such a thing?" Zheng Dongsheng and Tong Yangsuo were both shocked. If it was just Zhao Youque's defeat, they would not be so shocked, but Zhao Youque was defeated by someone two levels higher than him. This meant that the opponent was no small matter.
"Not only that, the kid also said …" Zhao Youque grinned awkwardly.
"What else did he say?" Tong Yangsuo quickly asked.
"He also said that he had some connections with our Morning Star Academy …" Zhao Youque said with a strange expression.
"Connections? What connections? Could he be a disciple of our Morning Star Academy? " Zheng Dongsheng's eyelids twitched. Many people on Middle Island had studied in the East Continent Academy, so it was not impossible to encounter such a coincidence.
"That's not it. He said he was a friend of Dean Ling Yuanqing and the master of Grandmaster Qing Danzi!" Zhao Youque braced himself and said.
"What?!" Zheng Dongsheng was so shocked that his jaw dropped. He quickly reacted and frowned. "That's impossible. As far as I know, Qing Danzi's master died a long time ago. How could he appear here?"
In the world of cultivation, it was not good to judge a person by their appearance. No matter how young they looked, they could be old monsters who had lived for hundreds or thousands of years. They just maintained their youthful appearance, just like Zhuang Yifan. But this guy claimed to be Qing Danzi's master. That was pure nonsense!
"That's right. Such shameless boasting. This person must be a liar!" Tong Yangsuo, who was at the side, quickly asserted. Even if it was possible, he had to immediately dispel Zheng Dongsheng's suspicions. Otherwise, if Lin Yi really was Ling Yuanqing's friend, Qing Danzi's master, then what was the point of fighting for the Medicine Sect?
If that was really the case, then he might as well not do anything else. He could only hurry to the Heavenly Dan Pavilion and personally apologize. There was no other choice.
Zhao Youque did not speak. Of course, he did not believe Lin Yi's nonsense. But with the strength Lin Yi had displayed, he was definitely not an ordinary disciple of the Morning Star Academy. Maybe he really did know Ling Yuanqing and Qing Danzi, which was why he was so unscrupulous.
"There's no doubt about it. Hmph, this kid is trying to play tricks on our Morning Star Academy. He's really a weirdo!" Zheng Dongsheng snorted disdainfully, in front of the number two Pill Refiner of the Morning Star Academy, what was the difference between this and running to hell and pretending to be a ghost?
"This is too much. Grandmaster Zheng, what do you think we should do next? We can't just let this brat wantonly tarnish the reputation of your Morning Star Academy, right?" Tong said with anticipation.
"Although I don't really care about the reputation of the Morning Star Academy, we really can't ignore this kid. Otherwise, people will think that we're afraid of him, and maybe they'll treat him as some big shot." Zheng Dongsheng frowned slightly.
"That's right. Two of us have already been killed by him. We can't continue to encourage his arrogance. It's a pity that our Medicine Sect's guest experts on Middle Island aren't strong enough. We still have to trouble Master Zheng to think of a way," Tong Yangsuo quickly said.
The guest experts on his side were at most in the Nascent Soul Stage. Their strength might not be comparable to Diao Huanshan's, let alone dealing with Lin Yi. Only Zheng Dongsheng could deal with this matter.
Of course, Zheng Dongsheng was an Pill Refiner and was not good at fighting. However, with his superior status, he did not need to deal with this kind of matter personally. As long as he sent someone to spread the word, there would naturally be a large number of experts rushing over like ducks. A mere Lin Yi would not be a problem at all.
"Mmm, since this Lin Yi can fight an opponent who is a higher level than him, he's really not weak. We can't underestimate him too much. I'm afraid ordinary experts won't be able to deal with him." Zheng Dongsheng pondered for a moment and then said, "How about this, let's not act rashly. When the time comes, we'll let Deputy Island Master Wu deal with him!"
"Deputy Island Master Wu?" Tong Yangsuo was stunned, and he said in surprise, "Is this Deputy Island Master Wu that Master Zheng mentioned the Executive Deputy Island Master Wu Miao who suddenly rose to power last year?"
The power of Middle Island's Island Master Cabinet had always been divided among five people, namely, one Island Master and four Deputy Island Masters. The actual power of the Deputy Island Master was the greatest among the four Deputy Island Masters. Basically, he could have a say in all matters, big or small. In terms of power and status, he was only below the Island Master. He could be considered as the number two figure in the official forces of Middle Island.
Although the Wu Miao that Tong Yangsuo mentioned was very experienced in the Island Master Pavilion, he had always kept a low profile. In terms of presence, he was even less prominent than The Will of Heaven. After all, although the Will of Heaven's strength was low on the surface, he was a legendary figure that everyone knew. Moreover, he was a strong person, and his true strength was not weak even in the Island Master Pavilion.
However, this Wu Miao was not really incompetent. He was just hiding his strength. Last year, when the Island Master Pavilion elected a new Executive Deputy Island Master, he, who had never been looked upon favorably by the outside world, suddenly made a move and became a medium-sized dark horse.
"That's right. That's him." Zheng Dongsheng nodded.
"He is the number two official of Middle Island. Even Deputy Island Masters like The Will of Heaven and Chu Wentian are overshadowed by him. Also, I heard that he has always kept people at arm's length, and very few people can befriend him. Master Zheng actually managed to invite him?" Tong Yangsuo was even more astonished.
The Chamber of Commerce had always been very attentive to the Island Master Pavilion's officials. Even if they could not become their own people, they had to befriend them. At the very least, they could not allow them to become obstacles. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to do business.
Tong Yangsuo had put in a lot of effort in this regard, especially the newly promoted Executive Deputy Island Master, Wu Miao. She was an important person that he did his best to befriend. Unfortunately, Wu Miao had always been indifferent toward him. At most, she would give him some gifts during the holidays. She did not even have the right to enter his house.
"That's right. Deputy Island Master Wu is indeed aloof and arrogant. However, don't forget my status, Shopkeeper Tong. Other people can only beg him, but he has to beg me. I'm his distinguished guest," said Zheng Dongsheng with a proud laugh.
"That's right. Master Zheng, a high-rank pill refiner like you has an extraordinary status no matter where you go. Ordinary people can't even invite you. No matter how aloof and arrogant Wu Miao is, he will definitely receive pills." Tong Yangsuo smiled apologetically.
