6258 Chapter 6256-favor at little cost

“I know, but that’s not a problem. As long as you’re willing to help, I’ll think of a way to solve the rest,” Xiao Yan waved his hand nonchalantly. Before they completely fell out with him, the spirit beast clan would still give him face. As long as the request was not too excessive, they would not reject it.

Lin Yi was one of the outer hall elders, and The Alchemist elder appointed by the king of spirit beasts. It wasn’t a big deal for Xiao Yan to give him some freedom.

“As long as Your Highness can give me the right to move freely, I will naturally not decline a small favor.” Lin Yi replied, still thinking about how he could leave the palace to find the forbidden area when Xiao Yan came to his doorstep.

What was there to be unhappy about when someone gave him a pillow when he was sleeping? Furthermore, dealing with central was completely in line with his own plan. Helping Xiao Yan was just a passing act. Strictly speaking, Xiao Yan was the one who helped him a lot!

“Leave this matter to me, you can rest assured!” Xiao Yan was also happy. If he wanted to investigate the sea beast clan in the spirit beast clan’s territory, his own people would definitely not be able to show up.

Before the masters of the sea beast clan came to help, Xiao Yan didn’t want to arouse their suspicion, so it was best to let Lin Yi come out. After all, Lin Yi wasn’t on good terms with the spirit beast clan and central. It wasn’t easy to investigate the sea beast clan, but it shouldn’t cause any suspicion.

“Also, don’t call me Your Highness in the future. Don’t regard me as an outsider. LAN Guzha is your brother, and also my brother. In the future, just call me by my name!” Xiao Yi laughed out loud, trying to get closer to Lin Yi.

“I’m grateful for brother Xiao’s high regard, then I’ll do as you say! Brother Xiao is my friend from now on!” Lin Yi didn’t act coy. He didn’t think that he was trying to get into Xiao Yan’s good books. Even if Xiao Yan was the king of the sea beasts, it was normal for him to treat him as an equal, let alone a Prince of the sea beasts.

Xiao Yan thought that Lin Yi would at least show some surprise if he took the initiative to be nice to him, but he didn’t expect Lin Yi to be so calm. He was surprised, and his evaluation of Lin Yi increased.

If Lin Yi was happy or humble, Xiao Yi would’ve looked down on him. A person with pride was a worthy friend.

Xiao Yi only wanted to use Lin Yi, but after two sentences, he decided that he should really make friends with Lin Yi!

“Brother Lin, do you have any thoughts on the investigation?” Xiao Yi could tell that Lin Yi wasn’t someone who liked to be polite, so he cut to the chase.

“It’s central that uses the genes of sea beasts for research. However, in the southern part of the island, without the support of the spirit beast clan, it’s impossible to carry out the research. So, the investigation can start from the spirit beast clan.” Lin Yi smiled. He wanted to investigate central directly as well, but the results would be minimal.

The research base of the center should be in the Zhen Duan Sea area. How could it be so easy to find clues in the royal city of the spirit beast clan? In the entire capital, the only people in central were probably the black and red Bamboo hat Men. Even if Lin Yi could move freely, he couldn’t do anything to them.

On the other hand, there might be unexpected gains if he started with the spirit beast clan. The spirit beasts of the entire spirit beast clan had gathered in the capital for the coronation ceremony. Although many of them had left after the ceremony, there were still many who remained. He might be able to find some clues.

“Alright, I’ll leave this matter to you, brother Lin. Before the experts of our sea beast clan arrive, it’ll be very helpful if you can find some clues.” Xiao Yi smiled as he cupped his fists at Lin Yi, no longer having that arrogant attitude he had when they first met.

As for how Lin Yi was going to investigate, Xiao Yi didn’t ask-it was better than him doing it himself.

“Brother Xiao, I’m going to look for some spirit beast experts in the palace to gather information. I have a rough idea of the location of the base in the southern island. As long as we can find the spirit beast experts there, there’s a high chance that we’ll find clues.” Lin Yi had to mention it even if Xiao Yi didn’t ask-he still needed Xiao Yi’s help to get out of the palace.

“Brother Lin, you already have a plan? I was right to ask you for help! I’ll go find the Vermilion Bird and the others so that you can leave the palace!” Xiao Yan’s face was filled with joy and he immediately got up to leave.

Lin Yi quickly stopped him, indicating that he still had something to say.

“Brother Xiao, you may not have received the news yet. Zheng Dongsheng and I were just attacked by assassins and almost couldn’t make it back. It’s very dangerous for you to come and go alone. In the future, you must bring your guards when you come out.” Lin Yi was really worried for Xiao Yan. Now that the sea beasts had a chance to be his ally, Xiao Yan’s safety became very important.

Lin Yi didn’t think that the spirit beasts would attack Xiao Yan in the palace, but nothing was absolute. The Vermillion Bird, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and black Tortoise might do anything to frame each other.

“There’s such a thing? Brother Lin, are you hurt?” Xiao Yan was stunned at first, then he showed concern on his face, not caring about his own safety.

“Thank you for your concern, brother Xiao. I’m fine.” Lin Yi waved his hand, his expression serious.”Brother Xiao, under normal circumstances, the spirit beast clan would not attack you. However, you have seen the situation at the elders ‘meeting. Some things can not be measured with common sense.”

“I understand. Thank you for your reminder, brother Lin. I’ll be more careful in the future!” Xiao Yan thanked her solemnly. The two of them discussed the assassin for a while longer, but there was no conclusion. Xiao Yan took his leave again.

After listening to Lin Yi’s warning, Xiao Yan didn’t dare to act arrogantly. He asked a few of the guards outside the side hall to send him back to the sea beast clan’s base. Before the reinforcements arrived, he really needed to keep a low profile. The son of a rich family couldn’t sit in the hall alone, and his own safety was the most important.

Not long after Xiao Yan left, someone from the sea beast clan came to tell Lin Yi that the inner sect elders had given him permission to move freely in the king City, but every time he left the palace, he had to be accompanied or vouched for by someone from the sea beast clan. Also, li Zao Yi couldn’t go with Lin Yi without special permission from the inner sect elders, so she could only stay in the palace to refine elixirs.

Other than the matter of li Zao Yi, the rest of the things were not a problem as long as the spirit beast clan did not monitor the entire process!

“I didn’t expect the Vermilion Bird and the Azure Dragon to be so forthright. Xiao Yan has only left for a short while and they’ve already settled the matter!” Lin Yi was secretly happy, but he didn’t know that it wasn’t because of Xiao Yan’s influence-it was because the inner hall Elders Council had already passed the motion to disband the outer hall Elders Council. It was only a matter of time before they left the palace, and Xiao Yan’s visit was a favor that came at no cost.
