Lin Yi's lips curled up. The spirit beast clan was indeed in cahoots with central, and this spirit beast commander obviously knew some of the secrets.
The reason why he first said a long list of identities that were destined to be useless was to throw out the last excuse of being a strategic partner of the central Chamber of Commerce.
If he said this at the beginning, then his purpose in coming to the South continent was obvious. He was obviously here for central. He had to keep a low profile, and it would be troublesome if he attracted the attention of central.
But it was different now. With all the useless identities mixed in, the spirit beast clan wouldn't suspect Lin Yi at all for mentioning the strategic partner of the central Chamber of Commerce. After that, he even mentioned the West Island and the Azure Dragon elder, as if he was casting a wide net, trying to use all kinds of identities to scare the spirit beast clan.
The spirit beast leader's eyes flickered. If what Lin Yi said was true, then with his status, it was indeed difficult to arrest him. It seemed like he had to report it to the higher-ups.
"Hahahaha, what an important guest! I didn't expect you to know our elder. In that case, please stay at Qitian escort agency for a few more days. Let me contact the elder of the Green Dragon and see if you have a chance to meet your old friends. " The spirit beast leader laughed at the sky, not mentioning anything about the central Chamber of Commerce. This was a secret of the spirit beast clan, and even if Lin Yi was really a strategic partner of the central Chamber of Commerce, he wouldn't say it out loud in a situation like this.
So he could only come up with the elder name to calm Lin Yi down first, and then decide what to do with him after consulting the higher-ups.
"That's for the best. It's been a few years since we parted on the West Island. I'd like to see Elder Green Dragon too. Of course, he's very busy, so it's normal that he can't find the time. Anyway, I'll be attending my brother Qi Wenhan's wedding at the Qitian bodyguard agency for the next few days and reminisce about the old days. If Elder Green Dragon is free, I'd like to visit him." Lin Yi was just making things up-he'd only met Elder Green Dragon once and talked to him a couple of times, what sort of friendship did they have?
If Green Dragon knew that Lin Yi met him in the southern island, he might just come and kill Lin Yi.
Lin Yi understood that the spirit beast commander was warning him not to leave the city so that the spirit beast clan would have time to investigate if Lin Yi was telling the truth.
Everything else didn't matter-what mattered was Central's attitude. Since they were sure that the spirit beasts were connected to central, Lin Yi was pretty much sure that he'd be fine.
The one year truce wasn't over yet, and the main point was that central didn't dare to touch Lin Yi, especially in the South continent. If something went wrong, their arrangements here would be exposed.
If the spirit beasts killed Lin Yi without knowing, central would be happy, but now that they knew, they couldn't let the spirit beasts do it.
"You're too kind, young hero Lin. I'll go back and report this to Elder Green Dragon and see if he's free. Don't worry, I'll have news soon. I'll come back to visit and inform you then!" The spirit beast commander put on an act of politeness and quickly cupped his hands in farewell.
As for the elder of the Azure Dragon that he had mentioned, neither of them took it seriously. How could an elder of the Azure Dragon have the time to care about a little guy who had not even reached the opening stage of his mountain?
"Take care, commander. Come over for a cup of tea and a chat when you have time!" Lin Yi cupped his fists and said goodbye. Qi Wenhan's wedding was about to start, and he needed to get rid of the spirit beasts so he could attend.
With a wave of his hand, the spirit beast commander took away many of the sea beast experts around him. However, there were still some who did not leave. Instead, they scattered and surrounded the entire Qitian bodyguard agency.
Lin Yi shrugged and walked in. He didn't care about this kind of obvious surveillance at all. If they wanted to run, even ten times the number of people wouldn't be able to stop them. If they wanted to stay outside, then let them.
The Qitian bodyguard agency was filled with joy and wasn't affected by the spirit beast clan outside at all. Lin Yi also blended in very quickly. The wedding preparations were done long ago. Although there were a lot of manpower missing, it was still organized according to the rules. Qi Wenhan and Xia luoluo had gone through a lot of hardships. They were already satisfied to be able to get married, so there was no need to be picky.
On the other side, the spirit beast commander quickly returned to its old nest and used the communication device provided by the center to get in touch with the spirit beasts on the southern island.
Lin Yi's situation and the details of their meeting were reported to the higher-ups, and when the higher-ups of the spirit beast clan received the news, they confirmed it with central.
"A strategic partner of the central Chamber of Commerce?" When miss nie heard the name, she couldn't help but be a little stunned. Fortunately, there was a detailed explanation of the meeting between the leader of the spirit beasts and Lin Yi, especially every conversation between them, so she didn't suspect that Lin Yi was testing the spirit beasts.
"That Lin Yi guy's really troublesome, he's always in trouble no matter where he goes. But there's nothing wrong with him saying that-at least we're cooperating for now. He probably couldn't withstand the pressure from the spirit beast clan, so he casually mentioned our names, right?" A man in a cloak beside miss nie said faintly, obviously very familiar with Lin Yi.
"Maybe. This kid is really troublesome. He just ruined our plan on the northernmost Island. Why did he go to the South continent?" Miss nie frowned. Her instincts told her that Lin Yi's appearance in the South continent was up to no good, but she didn't want to mess with him before he caused any trouble.
He thought that he was going to do something in the bag for sure, but it always ended up in an unstable way, and the main reason was Lin Yi.
"Tell the spirit beast clan not to mess with Lin Yi or ignore him. Just send someone to watch him in secret and don't do anything else! I want to know what he wants to do in the South continent. Remember, do not ever reveal the relationship between the spirit beast clan and central. Do you understand?" Miss Ling tapped her fingers on the table and finally made up her mind.
"Understood. Inform the spirit beast clan immediately!" The messenger from the center immediately conveyed miss Ling's message to the southern island.
After passing on the message, it was already the afternoon of the next day when the commander of the spirit beasts in twisted arc city received a reply. At the same time, one of the higher-ups of the spirit beast clan had also arrived in twisted arc city.
In Qitian bodyguard agency, the wedding was finally completed successfully. There were no troublemakers, and everything was perfect. Lin Yi and Li Zao Yi were even toasted by the bride and groom, as well as the others. It was a good thing that they were all strong practitioners, so it didn't matter if they drank more.
