Wu yucao hummed in agreement and didn't say anything else.
"Speaking of the eastern Chamber of Commerce, which side is this ally from?"
Lin Yi changed the topic. He didn't forget that there were more than four factions in Luling city.
"It's not either side. The purpose of the eastern Chamber of Commerce is to make money in peace, so they have maintained a friendly relationship with all forces. Unless someone actively provokes them and wants to blackmail the eastern Chamber of Commerce, they will be met with a tough counterattack!"
Ling Hanxue continued to explain to Lin Yi. She didn't know the deeper details, but everyone in Luling city knew the basics."If we have to divide it, the eastern Chamber of Commerce should be considered a neutral party."
After a short pause, he continued,"it's the same for the sword spring sect. They can be considered a neutral sect. However, the sword spring sect is different from the eastern enterprise. Their strength and Foundation are stronger. Neither party will take the initiative to provoke the sword spring sect, nor will they be able to rope them into their own camp. Therefore, their status is even more transcendent."
"I see ..."
Lin Yi nodded. He finally understood the power structure and relationships in Luling city, and it would be easier for him to deal with them in the future.
Next, the four of them talked about some other information about Luling city, and then returned to their rooms to rest. Although it was daytime, they couldn't leave the city, and they had just had a big meal, so there was nothing else to do.
In the evening, Jin Yuanbao came to the inn after finishing his business. He wanted to treat Lin Yi to a meal, and Lin Yi didn't reject him since they had a deal.
However, the three of them couldn't sit together this time. On the surface, they were Lin Yi's followers, so they had to either be his guards or eat with Jin Yuanbao's guards.
Wu yucao and the other two did not have any objections to this. Eating with the guards was also an excellent dish!
Last night's feast at the nightless Pavilion had strengthened their physical strength by quite a bit. Today, they would be able to temper their bodies again. This was definitely a treatment that only rich people would receive. What was there to be dissatisfied about?
In a private room of the delicacies restaurant, which was as famous as the nightless Pavilion, Jin Yuanbao was pouring wine for Lin Yi himself. The restaurant had arranged for a beautiful lady to serve Lin Yi, but Jin Yuanbao chased her out.
"Brother Sima, today, it's just the two of us brothers. Let's have a good drink and talk. This is the signature wine of the flavorful Pavilion, Jade nectar. It's very good for the body and the taste is excellent. Come and have a taste!"
Jin Yuanbao smiled as he filled up their glasses."Maybe brother Sima has taken a liking to the taste of the Jade nectar and will be unable to live without it in the future."
"If that's the case, I'll become a drunkard, and it's all because brother Jin brought me here to drink!"
Lin Yi said with a smile as he picked up the cup.
"Hahahaha, if brother Sima becomes a drunkard, that's also the Jade Nectar's fault. This little brother won't take the blame!"
Jin Yuan Bao laughed heartily and raised his cup to invite him."Come, let's toast to brother Sima. This little brother will drink first!"
With that, Jin Yuan Bao raised his neck and downed the whole cup, and Lin Yi followed suit. The Jade nectar was indeed special-it contained a power that tempered the body.
It was a pity that Lin Yi was only in Yuan spirit form. This power was meaningless to him. It was a waste!
After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere between the two became more relaxed, and the topics they talked about gradually became more casual.
"Speaking of that Nangong Yimeng brat, he's really not a good person. He likes to play with people for no reason. Brother Sima, you must be careful. Don't fall for that brat's tricks!"
As Jin Yuan Bao spoke, he mentioned Nangong Yimeng again. He was also extremely displeased with this opponent.
"Brother Jin, did you suffer a loss from Nangong Yimeng?"
Lin Yi smiled calmly and asked casually,"Did you manage to get back at him?"
"How could I! Although that Nangong brat is very cunning, he won't be able to trick me so easily. That's why he didn't say anything about getting back at me. "
Jin Yuan Bao laughed drily and raised his glass."Come, come, come, let's toast to brother Sima."
Lin Yi chuckled to himself. He could tell that Jin Yuanbao was just bluffing. It was obvious that he was tricked by Nangong Yimeng, and more than once at that. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so resentful.
However, Jin Yuan Bao was too embarrassed to say such an embarrassing thing. In front of his new friend, he still had to take care of his image!
"By the way, brother Jin is very knowledgeable. Have you ever heard of a place called the blue sky Valley?"
Lin Yi finished his glass and casually mentioned the valley as he poured himself some wine.
He had befriended Jin Yuan Bao, a powerful figure in Luling city, in order to find out more about the Azure sky secluded valley.
Wu yucao's connections had not received any news about this, so they could only count on people at Jin Yuan Bao's level!
"Blue sky Valley? I think I've heard of it somewhere ..."
Jin Yuan Bao frowned and thought for a while, then smiled.""Brother Sima, are you interested in this place? Is there any treasure inside?"
"I'm not sure if there's any treasure, but I've heard people vaguely mention it before, so I suddenly thought of it and asked casually. "
Lin Yi acted like he didn't care at all, as if he really was just asking casually, but he was actually very concerned. He was just short of grabbing Yuanbao's neck and asking him where he'd heard of it.
"I see ... Although I don't know where the Azure sky Valley is, the Nangong family has a geographical map of the sub Island that records all the famous and unknown places on the island. It's said that it's a small valley in the forest that no one knows about. It's also marked, so maybe the location of the Azure sky Valley is on it."
Jin Yuan Bao had only mentioned the news casually. After he finished, he smiled and said,""However, brother Sima, don't even think about going to the Nangong clan to look at the geographical map. That kid, Nangong Yimeng, is a direct descendant of the clan, but it is said that he can't read it at any time. It should be regarded as important strategic information. Even if brother Sima comes to ask for it personally, he will most likely be rejected."
After a slight pause, he said in a certain tone,""It's not most likely. It will definitely be rejected, unless there is a great benefit that the Nangong family can't refuse in exchange."
Lin Yi blinked-this was unexpected news. He wasn't sure if the map would definitely have information about the valley, but it was still a clue.
As for the Nangong family not lending money to anyone, Lin Yi didn't really mind. He'd already emptied the vault of the arena, so it wouldn't matter if another theft happened-he had someone to take the blame for it!
Lin Yi couldn't bring up the topic anymore because he was thinking about stealing the book. Jin Yuan Bao would definitely suspect him if he did!
