In this way, even if he escaped back to North Island, he wouldn't be able to live in peace. Maybe Middle Island could make North Island his enemy.
But now that he had learned something new, Middle Island's importance in Lin Yi's mind was getting weaker and weaker. On the contrary, North Island, who had always been mediocre, had a feeling that he was hiding his strength. At least North Island had Shanghai Tianhua, a name that could scare a lot of people in Dongzhou, which was full of masters.
"This …" Wei Shenjin still didn't understand. "You're different from us.
The three of us aren't natives of Middle Island. It's not a problem for us to leave. At worst, we can wander around the world. But you can't. All your relatives and sect members are in Middle Island. You can't escape, so you can't follow us into this mess. If you can survive this storm, it won't be too late for you to come back and help me, "Lin Yi said sincerely.
Lin Yi never had the habit of tricking his own people. Since Wei Shenjin was his younger brother, and he had worked hard in the past two years, even if he didn't make any contributions, he naturally couldn't get him into trouble.
"Boss, what kind of person do you think I am?" Wei Shenjin finally understood. His face turned red, and he said angrily, "In your eyes, am I, Wei Shenjin, the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?!"
"This isn't called being greedy for life and afraid of death. A wise man won't make unnecessary sacrifices. You don't have to do this kind of meaningless stupid thing because of so-called loyalty." Lin Yi shook his head and sighed, "Don't worry, I'm not testing you. I really hope that you can hide for a while. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your relatives and friends."
"Boss, I understand what you mean, but I actually don't have any relatives or friends in Middle Island, so you worry too much. No matter what, I won't leave. I won't leave even if you kill me." Wei Shenjin's expression was unprecedentedly serious and firm.
Lin Yi was speechless. He could only look at Tian Chan and Sydney helplessly. Indeed, he didn't want to implicate Wei Shenjin, but since Wei Shenjin said so, what else could he do?
Wu Miao came back in the evening. With her previous experience, the guests in Tiandan Pavilion automatically left the moment they saw him enter. They crowded outside and fought for a good spot to watch the show.
"Half a day, you're very punctual." Lin Yi looked at him and extended his hand, "Where's my level seven recovery pill?"
"Hmph! Do you really think our Island Lord Pavilion is a pushover?" Wu Miao forced a disdainful expression on her swollen face.
"So you're saying that you haven't learned your lesson?" Lin Yi narrowed his eyes.
"It's not important whether I have a good memory or not. What's important is that you have to learn from now on!" Before Lin Yi could make things difficult for her, Wu Miao turned to the person behind her and said respectfully, "Island Lord, Lin Yi is the one who disrupted Middle Island's order. He did whatever he wanted just because he was powerful. Not only did he smuggle and sell East Continent's pills, but he also attacked his subordinates in public. He has no respect for Middle Island's authority. Island Lord, please punish him!"
As expected, it was Island Master Nakajima's turn to appear! Lin Yi, Tian Chan, and the others exchanged silent glances. Everyone's hearts skipped a beat when they saw a dignified middle-aged man walking out from behind Wu Miao. As expected of the owner of Middle Island. Just by standing there, he gave off an intimidating vibe.
"You injured the executive vice island lord and violated Middle Island's rules. Do you know your crime?" asked the middle-aged man coldly.
His gaze landed on Lin Yi, and Lin Yi's shoulders sank. The immense pressure far exceeded Lin Yi's expectations. Lin Yi's face turned pale with fright. This was completely different from what he had expected. The middle-aged man was no Mountain Opening Stage cultivator. His aura alone was on par with Zhuang Yifan's!
In fact, Lin Yi felt like the middle-aged man was on par with Shanghai Tianhua and Ning Shangling. Since when did the owner of Middle Island become so terrifying? He was not this powerful the last time he saw him.
However, Lin Yi soon realized that something was amiss. The person in front of him was not the owner of Middle Island. However, Wu Miao clearly addressed him as the owner of Middle Island. Did someone else change their owner in the past two years?
"Senior, are you the owner of Middle Island?" Lin Yi took a deep breath and asked respectfully. Judging from the aura, the middle-aged man might be even more powerful than Zhuang Yifan. If they fought, Lin Yi would not stand a chance of winning, and he would not even be able to escape. He could only pin his hopes on the middle-aged man's character.
"My name is Okuda Zhou, and I'm the acting island lord of Middle Island. Since the official island lord is in seclusion, I'm temporarily acting as the island lord," said the dignified man.
Acting island lord? Lin Yi was stunned. No wonder he was not the same person he had seen. However, why was the aura of this acting island lord so much more powerful than the official island lord? That did not make sense.
However, Lin Yi naturally would not ask this question. He cupped his hands at Okuda Zhou and said, "Since I'm acting as the island lord, I would like to ask you something. Can you distort the truth and ignore justice just because you have power?"
"What do you mean by that? Weren't you the one who injured Deputy Island Lord Wu?" Okuda Zhou narrowed his eyes, and the pressure on Lin Yi's shoulder intensified. It felt like it was going to crush him, and even Lin Yi found it difficult to breathe.
This person's aura was so powerful! Lin Yi was secretly alarmed, but he maintained his composure. He said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "I was indeed the one who injured him, but I cannot accept the accusation that I challenged the rules of Middle Island. Unless Middle Island Lord is making trouble out of nothing, then I have nothing to say."
"Making trouble out of nothing?" Okuda Zhou turned to glance at Wu Miao before he looked at Lin Yi with an unfathomable expression. "Why don't you tell me what you're making trouble out of nothing? If you're telling the truth, I'll give you justice. "
Lin Yi relaxed when he heard this. Although Okuda Zhou's aura was powerful, he did not seem to be in cahoots with Wu Miao. Furthermore, he did not use his status to force Lin Yi to submit. Instead, he gave Lin Yi a chance to explain himself. This was very rare.
If it had been someone else, they would not have bothered to say anything. They would have just said that Lin Yi was the island lord and attacked him. Why would they listen to him? They would not have specifically pointed out that Lin Yi was the acting island lord and explained so much.
