Chapter 3734: The three spies
Translator: 549690339
As an early Foundation Stage expert who had just advanced to the next stage not long ago, he had actually grasped a defensive martial skill that could allow him to skip a stage and take a full-powered attack from an expert at the peak of the early Foundation Stage. Even in young master Xu’s eyes, this was already enough to meet the standard of being deeply hidden.
The point was that they didn’t find any signs on Lin Yi’s body in the past month-he sure hid it well!
What they didn’t know was that this was just their own imagination. Lin Yi had a lot of cards up his sleeve, but he didn’t have a defensive martial skill. They really were overthinking it.
“Indeed, it’s my fault for not noticing this in advance. This brat took advantage of the loophole and caused the plan to fail. Please punish me, young master Xu!” Meng jueguang quickly apologized with a dejected expression.
Xu lingchong’s expression was uncertain and he did not speak for a long time.
In order to kill Lin Yi this time, in order to make sure that nothing went wrong, he had put in a lot of effort and capital. Not only did he come out and persuade Zhao Hongbo, the fourth elder of the GreenCloud Pavilion, he even gave him a grade four great recovery pill.
And now, not only was Lin Yi perfectly fine, he even got a God-level full score just like last time! All his investment was for nothing.
However, this was not the main point. It was fine if he had lost some capital. Even if it was the expensive Grade 4 great recovery pill, he did not care much about it. The main point was that he had lost face in front of Shangguan LAN ‘er again!
He had already lost face in the law enforcement Hall three days ago, and now he had lost face again. How could he face Shangguan LAN ‘er in the future? Don’t forget that his grandfather, Xu Yuanzheng, had given him a death order that he must climb up to the high branches of the Shangguan family. Whether the Xu family could truly enter the ranks of the top wealthy families in the future, it all depended on him!
Looking at Xu lingchong’s extremely ugly expression, Meng jueguang could not help but feel anxious. He did not even dare to take a deep breath for fear of angering young master Xu.
Strictly speaking, although they didn’t succeed in dealing with Lin Yi, Meng jueguang’s performance was remarkable. After all, from their point of view, if it weren’t for Lin Yi’s powerful and evil “defensive martial skill,” no one else would have failed.
To put it bluntly, it wasn’t because of the fight-no wonder he didn’t try his best. Lin Yi was the only one to blame.
However, there was a problem. Meng jueguang was the mastermind behind Lin Yi’s attack, and if he didn’t apologize, young master Xu wouldn’t be able to step down.
“Alright, it’s not your fault this time, old Meng. So what if that Lin Yi kid managed to escape this time? He’s still a fish on our knife, and he won’t be able to jump around for long!” Xu lingchong suppressed her anger and patted Meng jueguang’s shoulder in comfort.
After all, Xu lingchong was the future successor of the Xu family, taught by Xu Yuanzheng. He was not a pure hedonistic second generation. He knew that in order to become a great person, besides being able to accept defeat, he also had to be tolerant of others.
From Meng jueguang’s previous performance, he could tell that this fellow was indeed a talent. It was only because of his poor background in the GreenCloud Pavilion that his talent had been buried. It was a good opportunity to recruit him and make use of him.
“Thank you, young master Xu, for your magnanimity. I will definitely do my best for you in the future!” Meng jueguang quickly flattered him to show his loyalty and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. This way, he could continue to look forward to his position as the third Pavilion master.
He was able to accept defeat, tolerant, and had a deep background. This young master Xu was really a wise master!
Xu lingchong smiled and then instructed seriously,”Although we’ll have plenty of chances to kill Lin Yi like an ant, we still need to learn from this lesson. Next time, we’ll have to thoroughly understand him before we deal with him, in case of any accidents!”
Meng jueguang nodded repeatedly and patted his chest in assurance. “Don’t worry, young master Xu. I’ll get Meng Tong and Li Zhengming to figure out Lin Yi’s background when we get back, so that we can make sure that the next plan is foolproof. ”
“Alright, we’ll see how you perform then.” Xu lingchong nodded, and his eyes immediately fell on Shangguan LAN ‘er in the distance. What he was having a headache about now was how to explain to this Little Junior Sister the reason for her two consecutive failures!
Lingchong was the young master of the rising Sky Pavilion, and yet she’d been defeated by Lin Yi, a common man. It was a little hard to accept, and it was a good thing there weren’t any other young masters around-she’d be completely humiliated.
After hesitating for a long time, Xu lingchong finally braced herself and walked to Shangguan LAN ‘er’s side. She explained in a low voice with an embarrassed expression,”Junior Sister LAN ‘er, Lin Yi found a loophole this time because we didn’t have enough information, but don’t worry, he won’t be so lucky next time. I’ll teach him a lesson for you, Junior Sister!”
“Hmph!” Shangguan LAN ‘er snorted and did not intend to pay attention to him, but after thinking for a while, she added,””Remember to inform me next time.”
“Definitely, definitely.” Xu lingchong hurriedly nodded in response. He was afraid that Shangguan LAN ‘er would ignore him from now on. As long as this little girl was willing to come out with him, everything could be discussed.
In that case, he had to thank Lin Yi properly. It wouldn’t be easy to ask this girl out otherwise. He could use this opportunity to get closer to her and win her heart, building a good foundation for the future!
What he didn’t know was that Shangguan LAN ‘er was purely thinking for Lin Yi’s sake. If Xu lingchong had any plans, she could inform Lin Yi if she knew about it in advance. Although it was the same as the previous two times, Xu lingchong wouldn’t tell her the details, but she could at least have a rough idea of it, so that Lin Yi could be prepared in advance.
However, what Shangguan LAN ‘er didn’t know was that Lin Yi had already planted two spies, Zhong pinliang and Li Zhengming, in Xu lingchong’s group. If she was included, it would be three spies in total. The scale of the intelligence team was simply unprecedented. If Xu lingchong’s group could still mess with Lin Yi even after this, then the sun would really rise from the West!
In just half a day, all the three pavilions ‘rookies had completed their assessments. However, the second segment had yet to end. After all, many rookies had yet to recover from their injuries!
According to the rules, they could only stay in the main hall of the welcome Pavilion until they had fully recovered and received the corresponding recovery points. Otherwise, they would get zero points.
Even though this seemed a little inhumane, it was to show the minimum fairness. If they were allowed to return to their respective immortal’s caves before they were confirmed to have recovered, not to mention the difference in the concentration of spiritual energy in each immortal’s cave, what if someone secretly took an elixir that could recover their injuries?
