The only reason he was able to become the person in charge of the training in the mortal world was because the people from the Archaic Alliance had their eyes on the top of their heads. They simply didn't place the mortal world in their eyes. If it really was a lucrative job, it wouldn't have fallen to him even in ten thousand years.
"Alright, I got it." Lin Yi nodded. Being able to learn so much from Xin Yijie was already a pleasant surprise. He only wanted to get a rough idea of the Archaic Alliance's strength. As for the deeper secrets, he didn't need to dig into them as it was useless at the moment.
"That's all I know about the power structure of the Archaic Underworld. I wonder if there's anything else you want to know?" Xin Yijie asked respectfully.
"Not at the moment. I'll look for you in the future." Lin Yi waved his hand and went back to the topic, "Let's talk about the secular world today. It's understandable that the Archaic Alliance wants to recruit new disciples with sufficient qualifications, but don't look for people blindly. If we make things clear, I believe many cultivators in the secular world will want to go. There's no need to make the relationship so tense as it will only backfire."
Low-level cultivators always yearned for higher levels. This was common sense. Back then, Heavenly Stage Island had only sent Southern Aurora Polaris as a symbolic guide, but everyone still wanted to go in. Now, it was the same logic in the Archaic Alliance. It was just that Xue Jianfeng, Yu Zhengliang, and the others were too overbearing and unyielding. They didn't treat the cultivators of the secular world as humans, so naturally, no one was willing to follow them.
"You're right, Grandmaster. I didn't expect the sects to act so recklessly. I've repeatedly ordered not to disturb the order of the secular world, but it still turned out to be like this. I'll go back and make an appearance. I'll gather all the training disciples and forbid them from messing around in the secular world," Xin Yijie said sincerely.
"Alright, thank you for your hard work." Lin Yi nodded, thinking that the identity of Grandmaster was indeed different. Although Xin Yijie was easy to talk to, he would not agree to this kind of thing immediately. He would definitely use all sorts of excuses. It was worth it that a mere Jadecloud Calming Technique could be so useful.
"I'll take my leave now. I'll pay my respects to Grandmaster another day," Xin Yijie stood up and said.
"Take care, I won't be sending you off." Lin Yi smiled and personally escorted Xin Yijie out of the Supernatural Investigation Bureau. Looking at Xin Yijie's receding figure, Lin Yi let out a sigh of relief. Today's ordeal was finally over.
"What do you think? Did you deceive that person? " Lingshan said with a smile. She could tell from Lin Yi and Xin Yijie's expressions that today's negotiation was going to be a success.
"How could it be a lie? I'm just stating the facts and reasoning with him, okay? "Lin Yi curled his lips.
"Really?" Lingshan's face was full of disbelief. Xin Yijie looked easier to talk to than Xue Jianfeng, but the superiority of the Archaic Alliance was ingrained in their bones. She didn't believe that Xin Yijie would be able to convince them so easily.
"Of course it's true. If it was someone else telling him this, it might be useless, but I'm his Martial Granduncle. If he doesn't listen to me, wouldn't that be disgraceful?" Lin Yi asked with a smile.
"You're his master?!" Lingshan's jaw almost dropped to the floor.
"Unbelievable? I don't really believe it myself, but he's willing to believe it. There's nothing I can do about it. Since he's so sincere, I'll just take the loss. It's all for the common world, after all, "Lin Yi said with a 'who's going to hell if I don't go to hell' face.
"Hahahaha …" Lingshan almost couldn't hold back her laughter when she saw that funny face of his. She tricked him into becoming his master's master, and he still felt like he was taking the loss? Then what about this granddisciple of hers? Did he take advantage of her?
"You're a girl, after all. Do you have to be that carefree in public? I can see you eating breakfast," Lin Yi said with a smile as he looked at Lingshan's laughing face.
"Ah!" Lingshan jumped in fright and covered her mouth, only reacting when she saw Lin Yi's weird smile. She punched him, blushing as she lowered her head. "If you don't like it, then I won't smile like this … …"
"Don't, don't, I'm not used to a dumb girl like you smiling without showing your teeth. It's good to be carefree, you're cute when you're heartless," Lin Yi said.
"Who's heartless?!" Lingshan grumbled, but her face was still filled with happiness. Evidently, she was overjoyed at the last four words.
"Alright, let's get down to business. Send a summons to all the sects and families in the common world- we need to gather all of them. Xin Yijie's done talking with him, but we don't know how far he'll be able to keep the Archaic Alliance disciples in check. We need to prepare ourselves," Lin Yi said seriously.
"Alright, should we notify the ancient sects?" Lingshan hesitated- the bureau's jurisdiction was limited to the common world and the hidden world- they didn't have much control over the ancient sects. At most, they could just send a message if something happened, but they might not necessarily give them face.
"Of course, use my name to notify them. We'll use this chance to reestablish the bureau's position in the common world." Lin Yi nodded.
If it weren't for this incident, the ancient sects might not have been willing to cooperate with the bureau, and Lin Yi might not even have been able to summon them. But now that they'd all lost to the Archaic Alliance, only Lin Yi could stand up for them. They had to come even if they didn't want to.
As expected, all the ancient sects, ancient, hidden, and common worlds gathered when the bureau sent out the summons on behalf of Lin Yi. They all accepted Lin Yi wholeheartedly, saying that they would only listen to the Cultivator's Union.
Lin Yi's strength was already outstanding even before he went to Sky class Island, and now he was so strong that they couldn't even look up to him. There was also the Archaic Alliance eyeing him like a tiger watching its prey. No one in charge of an area was an idiot, and they naturally knew what to choose. If they didn't hug Lin Yi's thigh tightly now, they'd be waiting for their names to be removed.
"You're really resourceful. I wouldn't even dare think about reporting to the Occult Investigation Department if it was before, but I'm actually so obedient this time …" Lingshan covered her mouth and smiled as she looked at the group of people trying to get to know each other.
"Times have changed, a wise man submits to circumstances." Lin Yi smiled faintly.
