6257 Chapter 6255-private meeting

The man in the black bamboo hat called Zheng Dongsheng over. To put it nicely, it was an invitation, but to put it bluntly, it was a summoning. It was an order from the master to the servant, and there was no room for resistance or refusal.

Zheng Dongshengs body trembled slightly. He really didnt dare to let the man come to him personally. That would be asking for death, and it might be worse than death. His only hope now was Lin Yi. If Lin Yi could force him to stay, it would at least be a good excuse.

Lin Yi pretended not to see Zheng Dongshengs pitiful eyes. He didnt want to be a s.h.i.+eld for a two-faced fence-sitter like Zheng Dongsheng. If Zheng Dongsheng could come to him with all his heart, he would be worth his protection.

Elder Zheng, since theyve sincerely invited you over, you might as well go and take a look. Perhaps theres really something important. Ill wait for you at the place where we live. Lin Yi smiled faintly. It wasnt that he wanted to get rid of Zheng Dongsheng, but after the a.s.sa.s.sin incident, central probably wouldnt do anything to Zheng Dongsheng so easily.

After the meeting ended, central would take action immediately. No one from the spirit beast clan would say anything, but the situation was completely different when the a.s.sa.s.sin incident occurred. If the people from central were to deal with Zheng Dongsheng now, it would make the four inner sect elders blame central at the same time, and the a.s.sa.s.sin would also be counted in their hearts.

The truth wasnt important. As long as they could find someone to take the blame, the four elders would be happy to do so, even if the other party was their ally.

Master Lin, why dont you come with me? Zheng Dongsheng understood this, but he couldnt feel at ease without Lin Yi by his side.

Im sorry, but I still have some things to deal with. You can go by yourself. Dont worry, the people from central wont do anything to you. Otherwise, their cooperation with the spirit beast clan will break. Lin Yi smiled as he patted Zheng Dongshengs shoulder. He spoke the second half of the sentence in a very low voice, giving Zheng Dongsheng some confidence.

Zheng Dongsheng nodded with a bitter face. He didnt dare to offend central, but he didnt dare to offend Lin Yi either. Since Lin Yi said that he wouldnt go with him, there was no point in saying anything more.

After Zheng Dongsheng left with the spirit beast guard, Lin Yi suddenly had an idea. He turned to the guard following him,Can I go out of the palace and take a walk in the capital?

Sure, but we have to bring more people to protect you in case of another a.s.sa.s.sination. The spirit beast guards looked at each other. They didnt know if the Vermillion Bird had given them instructions, but the leader agreed to Lin Yis request without hesitation.

If you guys follow me, how am I supposed to have fun? Lin Yis lips twitched as he shook his head to get rid of the idea. What was he supposed to do if he had to find the forbidden area where the void chains were?

Since the spirit beasts werent too resistant to him leaving the palace, Lin Yi felt that he could wait a few days for the a.s.sa.s.sination to calm down before going out alone. It would be even better if he could find a few more places that he suspected were where the void chains were, and investigate them all at once.

Lin Yi didnt have much to say to these spirit beast guards, so he quickened his steps and returned to the side hall. Li Zao Yi was still refining, but to his surprise, Xiao Yan was here too. No one greeted him, but he was drinking tea happily.

Your Highness, why are you here? Lin Yi looked at Xiao Yi in surprise. He didnt understand why he would come here personally.

If there was something, they shouldve sent someone to get Lin Yi. He didnt know what Vermilion Bird and the others would think if he came alone.

Lin Yi, come and sit down-I have something to discuss with you, please forgive me for coming here so abruptly. Xiao Yi smiled and waved at Lin Yi, turning the tables on him.

However, Lin Yi could feel that Xiao Yans att.i.tude towards him was getting better and better, and LAN Guzha had a part to play in it. He didnt know what this guy said to Xiao Yan, but it seemed like the effect was good.

Your Highness, please let me know if you need anything. As long as its within my power, I will not refuse. Lin Yi patted his chest as he sat down.

Hed said hed do what he could, so Xiao Yi wouldnt blame Lin Yi if he couldnt do it.

Justice! Ill definitely ask for your help in the future, but not today. I really have something to discuss with you today. Xiao Yi clapped his hands and laughed out loud, as if Lin Yis cooperation was a great honor.

Your Highness, did LAN Guzha not come with you? Lin Yi asked LAN Guzha as he refilled Xiao Yis teacup.

No, I came alone this time. I didnt bring anyone. Xiao Yan retracted his smile and looked at his surroundings seriously,Ive already used a tool to prevent divine sense prying, so no one will be able to hear what were saying now.

For Your Highness to be so serious, it must be something very important! Im all ears! Lin Yi was a little surprised and put down the kettle to listen to Xiao Yi.

Ive thought about what you said to LAN Guzha seriously. Then, Ive arranged for my men to investigate and gather information. Ive discovered that there have indeed been some problems with some sea beasts in recent years. Some of them have gone missing directly, while some of them seem to have a small part of their flesh, blood, and meridians taken away. However, its not a big problem, so they didnt make a big deal out of it. These are all the information obtained by my accompanying members. To be specific, I reckon that its many times larger than the current data, Xiao Yi did not mention the meaning behind the data. Everyone understood what he meant and knew what he was talking about.

So, what is your Highness going to do? Are we going to fall out? Lin Yi asked calmly. Although Xiao Yan had two sea split realm Masters protecting him, it was not enough to turn against the spirit beast clan.

No, Im not strong enough right now. I have to endure for a while, wait for my races reinforcements to come. Xiao Yan waved his hand and said with confidence,Before the reinforcements arrive, I need to gather more information. This time, I took the liberty to visit you because I wanted to discuss with you to help me gather information. I wonder if you can help me?

Lin Yi blinked-Xiao Yis straightforwardness surprised him.

Since Your Highness has asked, I naturally have to help. Its just that Your Highness doesnt know that li Zao Yi and I are actually alchemy machines of the spirit beast clan. We usually dont have the right to move freely. The experts of the spirit beast clan outside the door were not sent to protect us. Lin Yi spread out his hands, not hiding anything about his situation.

In fact, Xiao Yan should have known about it even without him saying it. After all, it was not a secret. As one of the spiritual beasts allies, the Azure Dragon would probably not hide this.
