Although everyone was beaten up quite miserably, they were all just flesh wounds. There was no serious injury to their bones.
This made Fang Gezi misjudge Lin Yi's strength, thinking that Lin Yi was a martial artist who used speed.
When caught off guard, a fast person could indeed catch a person off guard, but if they were on guard, a speed-type martial artist might not pose much of a threat!
"Sneak attack? You actually have the face to say that! You were the ones who suggested to take action, and our boss even asked the manager if he could take action here. He only took action after he got a positive answer!"
Fei daqiang's face was full of disdain as he stood up to support Fang Gezi.""I've already told you guys, but you still can't defend against it ... If you're weak, then don't come out and provoke others! Hurry up and go back to your so-called Japan! The outside world is not suitable for you!"
Fang Gezi was speechless-they were in the wrong here, after all. They were the ones who provoked Lin Yi first, and now Lin Yi was beating them up ...
Although she thought it was because of Lin Yi's sneak attack, Fang Gezi couldn't take revenge on Lin Yi, who was watching them coldly from the side!
Fang Gezi was certain that Lin Yi was the manager's Godfather! His ass was so crooked! I'm the one getting beaten up! What the hell is that look? What did that mean?
"Alright! Sima Yi, you're good! This Lord will remember you! Let's wait and see!"
Fang Gezi was left speechless and did not have the face to continue pestering her about the big yard. She could only leave a harsh sentence and leave with her men.
The relay manager turned around and put on a respectful face.""Patrol Sima is indeed a good man! This lowly one will take his leave first! If you need anything, just tell me!"
"You've worked hard, manager! Please do as you please!"
Lin Yi nodded with a smile and watched the man leave. He'd wanted to move, but after Fang Gezi's incident, he decided not to.
So what if it's a little bigger? after all, the scenery is beautiful and it's comfortable to live in!
He brought Fei daqiang in and each of them chose a room to stay in. Within a few minutes, four young and beautiful maids came to the courtyard, saying that they were arranged by the courier station's manager to do things.
Because this was the residence of the distinguished guests, if the distinguished guests had their own people, the courier station would not make arrangements. If they did not have people to serve them, they would arrange for a few people to serve tea and do odd jobs.
Lin Yi didn't reject the manager's good intentions. The yard was too big, and the two of them didn't have enough space. Having four more maids would make it more lively.
In the evening, the manager came to Lin Yi's door with a gold-stamped invitation."Patrol envoy Sima, the inspection department just sent a notice saying that they'll be holding a welcome banquet to invite all the other patrol envoys who have arrived today."
"This has happened in previous years as well. It's to let everyone get to know each other and get to know each other. After all, the inspectors of each continent are from the inspection Institute, and they usually don't have many opportunities to meet."
To put it bluntly, it was to hold a banquet so that all the inspectors of the continent would have the opportunity and place to socialize.
Lin Yi wasn't unfamiliar with this, but he didn't think it'd be a rush to inform him at such a critical moment.
"Okay, may I ask if Dean Jin is hosting the dinner this time? Has he returned?"
Lin Yi wanted to see Jin botian when he came, but he couldn't find him. It would be nice if he could see him at the dinner.
The steward smiled and shook his head."It should have been Dean Jin who hosted the banquet, but he hasn't returned yet. Most of the higher-ups in the inspection department aren't here either. Tonight's banquet should be hosted by a Deacon from one of the departments."
The status of a Deacon in the inspection Institute was one or two ranks lower than that of a patrol envoy of a great continent. However, because they were from the headquarters, their real power was not inferior to that of a patrol envoy of a great continent.
He was barely qualified to host a banquet!
"I see, I know. Thank you for making this trip, steward!"
Lin Yi opened the invitation and saw the time and place of the banquet.
In fact, it was in the banquet hall of the relay station. This relay station was exclusive to the inspection department, so many banquets of the inspection department would be held here.
Lin Yi wasn't interested in the party since Jin botian wasn't around, but he decided to go take a look since it was in the station. It'd be good to get to know some of the investigators.
After all, Lin Yi was the vice-director of the inspection department, and these people were his subordinates. It wouldn't hurt to get to know them first!
When night fell, Lin Yi brought Fei daqiang to the banquet. The invitation was only for the inspector, but it stated that he could bring one or two followers. Lin Yi only had Fei daqiang with him, so he had no one else to bring.
The banquet had started a while ago, and Lin Yi wasn't there on time-there was bound to be some official speech before the start.
It was so boring!
If the deacons knew of Lin Yi's status as the Vice Dean, they might even invite him up to say a few words, and that would be awkward. So Lin Yi decided to go to the banquet later and watch.
There were already over thirty investigators gathered in the hall. There were a total of thirty-nine Continents in the starsource continent, and only four or five investigators were missing.
Just as Lin Yi expected, the deacons had just finished their welcome speech and announced the start of the banquet. It was like a buffet, with many investigators walking around and talking to people, forming small circles.
Fang Gezi was surrounded by six investigators from the other continents. They were all investigators from second-grade continents, so they naturally gathered together.
Although they were all patrol envoys, they really did look down on people from third-grade continents.
"I don't know where that Sima Yi came from, he's really arrogant! He's just a patrol of the Sangzi continent, but it feels like he's the patrol of the Xingyuan continent. This is ridiculous!"
Fang Gezi's injuries had healed. They were all superficial wounds that could be healed with a pill. If not for that, he would not have the face to entertain them.
He gathered all the second tier continents "investigators together in order to spread rumors and hurt Lin Yi. He wanted to use the investigators" strength to deal with Lin Yi.
"You guys didn't see it at that time, but he actually said that our second-class continent's patrol was nothing, not even comparable to his little finger. If he wanted to crush us, he could do it in minutes ..."
"...I was a little indignant, and he would burst out and hurt people. Fortunately, I had some strength and didn't suffer any losses, but Sima Yi was really too arrogant! Brothers, have any of you heard of him? What's his background?"
Fang Gezi was lying through her teeth. Lin Yi wasn't at the banquet, so Fang Gezi's slander was even worse. "Let's not talk about other things first. Just look at him, how big of a deal is he! He didn't come to the welcome banquet of the inspection Institute just because he said so. He doesn't even have any respect for the inspection Institute!"
