“That’s right. Every time a talented disciple from the North Island is recommended to the East Province Academy, they’ll say that they’re out on a mission. There are two reasons for this. First, although the East Province Academy isn’t a traditional sect, in theory, they’ll come back one day after studying for a period of time. However, if this matter is made public, it’ll certainly make all the disciples of the three pavilions rush like ducks. I believe that everyone will fight to the death for this recommendation. If a sect’s disciple is determined to join the East Province Academy, do you think the sect will still have any cohesion and future?” Hong Zhong a.n.a.lyzed.

His words were not groundless. Many sects on the middle Island had the right to recommend, but they did not handle it in a low-key manner like the three pavilions on the North Island. For the sake of so-called fairness, they had always held open compet.i.tions. In the end, only a few of the geniuses who had gone to the East Province Academy returned to serve their sects!

The East Province Academy had been their target from the very beginning. A sect was just a springboard for them. Why would they come back to serve this springboard after achieving their goal?

However, being recommended by the three pavilions and going to the East Province were two completely different things! It was like a person in school in the secular world. Everyone wanted to get into a better school, but once they went, they would definitely not return to their original school.

If he was an employee of the company and one day his boss told him to give him a chance to study, the employee would definitely be grateful and return to the company after he finished his studies.

“That makes sense. What about the second reason?” Everyone asked.

“The second reason is, of course, to conceal one’s strength and bide one’s time. The more talented disciples a sect can recommend to the East Province Academy, the more powerful they will be in the future. Since it’s confirmed that these disciples will return to the North Island in the future, it’s natural to hide them and use them as a trump card!” Hong Zhong couldn’t help but smile and ask.

“I see!” Everyone nodded one after another. The reason why a trump card was a trump card was because it could make people feel fear when they couldn’t figure out the actual situation. Once it was taken out and known by everyone, not only could it not take the initiative, but even the deterrent force would be greatly reduced.

“Little Junior Brother, did you break up with sister Xiao Tao after that?” Shangguan LAN ‘er returned to the main topic.

“That’s right. Xiao Tao left with Donghai’s divine nun, while I returned to black arc city alone. Coincidentally, I met the Pirates from before along the way and s.n.a.t.c.hed the goods back. I went back to confront Wei Zhaotong and then agreed to partic.i.p.ate in the South continent escort meeting with the Qitian escort agency. You should know about this, right?” Lin Yi asked.

“I know, I know. They said that you killed the heretic pract.i.tioner, Wu Bao Liang, at the Grand meeting. As a result, you provoked the West Mountain old sect and they chased you all over the world.” Shangguan LAN ‘er said, and Lu bianren and the others also nodded.

“I’ve heard of the West Mountain sect’s name. It’s said that he’s the number two figure in the West Mountain evil sect, an unfathomable evil cultivator in the opening stage. It’s really incredible that you could escape from him.” Hong Zhong couldn’t help but sigh.

Only when one had reached a certain level could one truly understand how terrifying a sect-opening powerhouse was. He was much more clear about the difficulty of this than the others who were ignorant.

“Hehe, in fact, this is mainly due to luck. Originally, I couldn’t escape from his pursuit with my strength, but I managed to escape to the southern island by chance. He didn’t dare to continue going deeper. After all, the spirit beast clan is not to be trifled with. So, I simply hid in the southern island to cultivate. It was only recently that I completely broke away from the surveillance of the old sect of West Mountain, and I was able to escape and come back.” Lin Yi said briefly. As for the part about the five poisons swamp and the Dragon of five evils, he didn’t need to tell them in detail.

“To be able to hide in the southern island for so long and come out unscathed, that’s not simple at all. It’s not something that can be summed up by luck. The hards.h.i.+ps and hards.h.i.+ps are not something that ordinary people can endure. Young hero Lin, this old man respects you!” Hong Zhong praised.

“Little Junior Brother (boss), let’s toast to you!” Everyone chimed in.

“Thank you, everyone. Come, let’s drink this cup together!” Lin Yi laughed as he finished the drink.

“By the way, I have a letter for you, Lin shaoxia. I was in a hurry just now, so I didn’t bring it. I’ll give it to you tomorrow.” Hong Zhong suddenly said.

“A letter? What letter?” Lin Yi didn’t know how to react.

“It’s from the transportation company under the central Chamber of Commerce. It’s written that the recipient is you, Lin shaoxia. But I don’t know why it’s in my hands.” Hong Zhong was confused. Lin Yi had been missing in the South continent for a while, and it wasn’t strange that the letter didn’t reach him, but it was strange that it had reached him out of nowhere.

If Lin Yi didn’t tell him about it, it meant that the rising central Chamber of Commerce had investigated his relations.h.i.+p with Lin Yi. It was a very unsettling feeling.

Hong Zhong was still worried that there might be a conspiracy behind this, but Lin Yi’s calm and collected self froze after hearing the story. He didn’t react for a long time, and everyone looked at each other, wondering if he’d eaten something weird …

Lin Yi took a long while to come back to his senses. Everyone was looking at him with worried faces. He suppressed his excitement and shook his head,”Oh, I’m fine. Elder Hong, I’ve been waiting for this letter for a long time. I’ll go and find you tomorrow morning.”

He couldn’t be blamed for losing his composure-the moment he heard the words “central Chamber of Commerce,” he knew that this was the reply he’d been waiting for from the common world!

After hearing the news, Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel a little out of his mind. Fortunately, he had already told them about his experience in the South continent, and everyone’s curiosity was finally satisfied. Because Shangguan LAN ‘er had to rush back before midnight, the banquet didn’t last long. Seeing that it was about time, everyone dispersed.

Lin Yi didn’t rest after sending everyone off. His mind was filled with the letter that Hong Zhong mentioned, and he couldn’t stop his excitement. However, he still had some restraint and didn’t go to the Hong Chamber of Commerce with Hong Zhong. Instead, he went to the secret base of the king of junk alone with the food and wine he had reserved.

It’d been so long, but this place hadn’t changed at all-the king of junk was busy writing something like a mad demon when Lin Yi came in with the food and wine, and Lin Yi just stood behind him, not noticing anything at all. (To be continued.) ”
