"Aren't you afraid of failing the mission by revealing your identity now?"
Chen Zhisheng laughed coldly. He also felt that Lin Yi was hiding his identity, but he didn't want to be played like this. If Lin Yi said the other way around, he would do the same!
"I'm in disguise now! When the time comes, you can just say that I'm impersonating Sima Yi!"
Lin Yi shrugged nonchalantly, indicating that it was no big deal!
Chen Zhisheng was speechless for a while. It really made sense!
Ling Hanxue was stunned. She believed Lin Yi's words without a doubt and didn't know what to say. Such a Big Shot was called a follower by her for a long time.
"So, all your money is actually your own?"
In the end, Ling Hanxue finally thought of a problem and asked,""The things in the prison cell are also fake?"
"No, what happened in the cell is true. I did get a sum of money from him. Of course, I have some myself!"
Lin Yi didn't bother arguing with them-they could just say whatever they wanted, as long as they were happy.
"So you're indeed a rich young master! I'll buy sister snow a piece of top-grade equipment one day, okay?"
Ling Hanxue returned to her usual bright smile and didn't seem reserved because of Lin Yi's change in status."Is there any problem?"
"Of course, no problem! The next time we go, sister Xue, you can pick your own!"
Lin Yi agreed with a smile. Boss Mei had a lot of money in his vault anyway, and buying one or two pieces of top-tier equipment was a piece of cake."Sister Wu, you too, and brother Chen too!"
Lin Yi knew that to maintain the unity of this small team, he couldn't be biased and create cracks between them. He treated everyone equally since he didn't need the money!
Wu yucao forced a smile and agreed softly, but she was a little worried.
If what Lin Yi said was true, and the person in front of him was really a young master of the Sima family, then the difference in status between them was too big.
I'm afraid that any random servant in the Sima clan who sweeps the floor would have a higher status than the few of us who are strong?
What right did she have to make this young master Sima call her big sister Wu?
Although people always said that the difference in status was not a problem, in reality, the huge gap in status would always hinder the communication between two sides.
After all, they all had their own social circles, and it was impossible for them to have any interaction!
To put it bluntly, the noble young masters of the Sima clan and these small hunting teams that were struggling to survive were not the same people. They might pass by each other occasionally, but they would not always be together!
Wu yucao, on the other hand, was a righteous person and treated Lin Yi as her family. She realized that perhaps she was just overthinking it, and couldn't understand it in a short time.
On the other side, Chen Zhisheng was a little dejected as well. After confirming Lin Yi's identity, he suddenly felt inferior.
Whether it was status or strength, the two were completely crushed. If Lin Yi really wanted to pursue Ling Hanxue, Chen Zhisheng knew that he had no chance of winning!
Especially if Ling Hanxue liked Lin Yi, there was nothing he could do. He could only watch as the person he liked fell into someone else's arms!
Just thinking about it made him feel aggrieved, but he was at his wits 'end, so he felt even more aggrieved ...
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about these useless things. In private, we're still brothers and sisters like before. When there's someone else, just show me a little respect. Our relationship will not change!"
Lin Yi waved his hand casually and changed the topic."Now, let's talk about the power structure in Luling city and the relationships between these powers. Only then can we better deal with what might happen next."
Lin Yi already had a rough idea of the names of the factions in Luling city, and he just wanted to fill in the gaps in his connections.
Ling Hanxue, who was the only one in a normal mood, started explaining to Lin Yi.
"Little brother Zhong da ... There's no problem with big sister calling you that, right? Alright ... Then Zhongda will do?"
Ling Hanxue had changed her words because Wu yucao had glared at her, so she could only pout and remove the title of 'underling'.
"Sister Xue, you can call me whatever you want in private. Just be careful when there are outsiders around."
Lin Yi didn't mind as he smiled and helped Ling Hanxue out of the situation.
"I still have to be more careful," Wu yucao said gloomily."I'm just afraid that if I get used to it in private, I won't be able to change it when there's someone around!"
"Alright, alright, I got it!"
Ling Hanxue pouted, then laughed again."Zhongda, let's talk about Jin Yuan Bao first. Jin Yuan bank is one of the top forces in Luling city. It has strong financial resources and has branches in all the major cities on the sub-Island. Because of this, it has a good relationship with the warrior's Guild, which has branches all over the island."
Lin Yi nodded slightly. He had underestimated Jin Yuan bank and Jin Yuan Bao's power. The warrior Union was involved, so their evaluation should have been raised by at least one level.
"In Luling city, the branch president of the warrior Association and the owner of the gold yuan bank have a life-and-death relationship. These two can basically be considered an Alliance!"
Ling Hanxue stretched out her palm and pulled off two of her fingers. She then continued,""Nangong Yimeng, who I met at the eastern enterprise, is a direct descendant of the Nangong family. He doesn't get along with the gold yuan bank, and his relationship with Jin Yuan Bao is also very bad. From the perspective of the entire Nangong family, their ally should be the city Lord. It is because of the city Lord's support that they are able to compete with the gold yuan bank and the warrior Union!"
Lin Yi had a rough idea now-the two sides were similar in strength and had similar allies, and the end result was a delicate balance.
"By the way, the high stage fighting arena should be a secret business of the Nangong nobles. It can only be built to such a scale with the tacit approval of the city Lord's mansion."
Ling Hanxue added,"that's why Boss Mei is actually Nangong Yimeng's subordinate. We offended him before. Perhaps the Nangong family already has their eyes on us!"
"Nangong Yimeng ... Shouldn't be looking for trouble with me for the time being. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to test us just now."
Lin Yi rubbed his chin, deep in thought."But this is still a problem. I have to get rid of it as soon as possible when I have the chance."
"Zhong da, you're saying that Nangong Yimeng deliberately went to the eastern merchant Association to test you?"
Wu yucao's brows furrowed slightly as she became more and more worried.""So, he already has the intention to deal with us, but he's biding his time because of your identity?"
"You can say that. But we don't have to worry about him now. He won't dare to act rashly. Besides, we still have Jin Yuan Bao to restrain Nangong Yimeng. We can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai for now!"
Lin Yi smiled with confidence,"After the city gate opens, we'll go out to hunt and lie low for a while. After a while, everything will be fine!"
