Only then did Cha Wu leave helplessly. He didn’t know if Shangguan LAN ‘er really understood him, but after meeting up with Zhaoming, the two of them couldn’t care about anything else and ran away.
Not long after the two ran away, Shangguan Tianhua and Lin Yi descended from the sky. If Zhaoming and Lin Yi dawned any longer, they wouldn’t be able to escape.
With Shangguan Tianhua’s powerful perception, he had already locked onto his precious granddaughter’s position in the sky. The two of them barged into the broken training field. Seeing this, Shangguan LAN ‘er said happily,””Grandpa, Junior Brother, you’ve finally come to save me!”
She didn’t suffer much from the kidnapping this time, and she could tell that the kidnappers had ulterior motives. They didn’t dare to really hurt her, but she was in danger after all, especially when she was scared at the beginning. Otherwise, Lin Yi wouldn’t have been able to sense her location through the necklace.
Seeing that Shangguan LAN ‘er wasn’t hurt, Shangguan Tianhua’s heart finally settled down. He turned to Lin Yi and asked, How did you know where Xiao LAN ‘er was?”
In the three pavilions of the North Island, Shangguan Tianhua’s strength could be said to have reached the peak, and the range of his divine sense was also extremely wide. However, Shangguan LAN ‘er was tied up so far away that even he could not lock onto her position.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, was untying the sea beast rubber rope on Shangguan LAN ‘er’s body as he smiled,”Disciple just so happened to forge two mother-child necklaces a few days ago, one of which was given to little Senior Sister. When in danger, it will sense the fluctuation of true Qi, so I know.”
Shangguan Tianhua clicked his tongue in wonder and said,””I’ve heard that you’re an Alchemist, but I didn’t expect you to be a blacksmith as well. As a newcomer, you’re a rare genius in the three pavilions to be able to have so many abilities!”
“Pavilion master Shangguan, you flatter me. I only know a little about this.” Lin Yi replied with a smile.
“He’s neither arrogant nor rash. That’s very rare. However, blacksmiths are rare even in the rising Sky Pavilion. It’s even rarer for him to be able to forge such a magical necklace!” Shangguan Tianhua nodded approvingly, and then suddenly asked with a playful expression,””But I heard that this necklace has always been a gift between lovers. What do you mean by giving it to Xiao LAN ‘er?”
“Well …” Lin Yi felt awkward, not knowing what to say.
If he said that he had no feelings for this little Senior Sister, it was obviously a lie. Otherwise, he would not have given her a mother-child necklace. However, if he really was interested in Shangguan LAN ‘er, it was not entirely the case. He just had a good impression of her, and they had a good relationship.
At this time, Shangguan LAN ‘er stood up and hugged Shangguan Tianhua’s arm, saying,””Aiya, Grandpa, Little Junior Brother and I have a deep sisterly relationship, much closer than lovers or anything. We’re friends who have gone through life and death together!”
Hearing this, Shangguan Tianhua burst out laughing.””Haha, good …”
However, as he laughed, Shangguan Tianhua gave Lin Yi a meaningful look. There were some things he didn’t say out loud.
Lin Yi smiled bitterly at the situation-Pavilion master Shangguan’s expression made it clear that he’d misunderstood it as something else.
However, there was no way to explain this kind of thing in person. Perhaps they would think that explaining it was just a cover-up, and it would only make things more chaotic. He could only face it in silence.
“Xiao LAN ‘er, did you get a good look at the faces of the kidnappers?” Shangguan Tianhua asked.
Shangguan LAN ‘er shook her head.”No, they’re all dressed in black and their faces are covered. I can’t even see what they look like.”
Although she said that, she could more or less guess the identity of these people from their strange behavior before. She just did not want to tell Shangguan Tianhua about it. After all, there would be no suspense if she did that, and it would not be fun at all.
“I see. It seems that the follow-up arrest can only be handed over to the law enforcement Hall. However, little LAN ‘er, you have to remember not to run around blindly in the future, understand? It’s a good thing Lin Yi brought me here in time this time, so nothing serious happened. Next time, I won’t be so lucky!” Shangguan Tianhua admonished with a stern face.
“I know. If it wasn’t for little white stealing wine, I wouldn’t have been kidnapped by them so easily!” Shangguan LAN ‘er said, pouting.
As he said this, the little Curly bear’s loud snores came from the corner. The three of them were stunned for a moment before they laughed in unison.
After such a long time, it turned out that little Curly Bear, the fuse, was still drunk and sleeping. He didn’t know about the kidnapping at all. When he woke up, everything was over. Silly bears really have silly luck. He didn’t know if he should be angry or laugh when facing this little guy!
Shangguan Tianhua didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he shook his head. There was no one around, and there was no point in staying here any longer. He called Lin Yi and Shangguan LAN ‘er to get on their flying spirit beasts and return to the three pavilions.
The return of Shangguan Tianhua and the other two caused a commotion in the Hall of Justice. Since Shangguan LAN ‘er was back unscathed, and could prove that Lin Yi wasn’t the one who kidnapped her, Lin Yi’s suspicion was naturally cleared, and he didn’t need to go back to that dark and dark prison.
On the other hand, the person who reported him, Murong Zhen, was in big trouble. Framing Lin Yi was a small matter, but providing false information to mislead the law enforcement Hall was the real problem.
If she really wanted to pursue the matter, even if Murong Zhen did not die this time, he would at least lose a layer of skin. She had gone for wool and came home shorn. No matter how she tried to exonerate herself with flowery words, she was definitely going to take the blame.
Of course, it was the Hall of Justice’s business to pursue Murong Zhen, not Lin Yi ‘s. If he wanted revenge, he’d have to do it in private, and it was a personal matter.
As for reporting him to the Hall of Justice, he wasn’t interested. He didn’t have any evidence, and he didn’t want to get too close to the people there.
He followed Shangguan Tianhua out of the hall, and before they parted, he suddenly stopped and turned to Lin Yi.”I owe you another favor for this. If you need anything in the future, you can come to the rising Sky Pavilion to find me.”
With that, Shangguan Tianhua quickly disappeared from sight with the reluctant Shangguan LAN ‘er and the little Curly Bear, leaving Lin Yi all alone, stunned.
A favor from Shangguan Tianhua was a priceless treasure in the three pavilions of the North Island. If it were anyone else who had heard his promise, they would have been so excited that they would have forgotten themselves.
Although Lin Yi was excited, he was more confused than excited. He didn’t understand why Shangguan Tianhua would suddenly say something like this.
