7140 Test and confirmation

Black wildflower was a little taken aback-not only was Lin Yi strong and intelligent, but his status wasn’t simple either. For the young city Lord of Luling city and the heir of the Nangong family to be so friendly to him, he must have a strong background!

Previously, black wildflower did not a.s.sociate the name Sima Yi with the Sima clan. After all, the Sima clan was extremely mysterious, and other than the Sima clan, there were also people with this surname on the sub-Island.

However, seeing Lu Butong and Nangong Yimeng’s att.i.tude, black wildflower immediately thought that Lin Yi’s ident.i.ty was related to the Sima family. He was even more shocked. Did he just find a random helper and found the mysterious Sima family?

Putting black wildflower’s suspicion aside, Lin Yi thought for a while and agreed since he didn’t have any reason to reject.

Lu Butong and Nangong Yimeng looked at each other and smiled. This way, they would have more opportunities to test the waters. If there were no problems, it would be a good opportunity to befriend Sima Yi and the Sima clan. That would be perfect!

The people from both sides gathered together and made their way to the exquisite restaurant. The four important figures entered their individual VIP boxes, leaving Wu yucao and the others with their other subordinates.

Lu Butong and Nangong Yimeng wanted to befriend Lin Yi, so they started off with a warm welcome. They even tried to test him, but Lin Yi brushed them off discreetly without showing any flaws.

As a result, the atmosphere gradually became more and more lively. Black wildflower was also a person who knew how to dance, and the room was filled with laughter and laughter for a while.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Nangong Yimeng suddenly mentioned Lin Ying.

“That’s right, brother Sima, you’ve accepted Wu yucao and the other two. I wonder if you’ve heard that they have a companion called Lin Ying?”

Nangong Yimeng spoke casually, as though he had just thought of a topic, but it was actually his final test!

Lin Yi’s heart skipped a beat. He felt that Nangong Yimeng wouldn’t be able to see through the formation he set up, let alone see through the disguise of the red dust all creation mask. He then relaxed.

“I’ve heard of him, but why did brother Nangong suddenly mention him?”

Lin Yi’s face was calm as he said,”When Wu yucao and the others first met me, they asked me to find out more about him. But before I could do anything, I heard that he was burned to death in the patrol team’s prison.”

Nangong Yimeng and Lu Butong acted as if they were doing nothing, but they were actually carefully observing Lin Yi’s expressions, actions, eyes, and so on. They didn’t find any flaws.

The conclusion was that Lin Yi was telling the truth!

“At that time, Wu yucao and Ling Hanxue even secretly cried once. However, I heard that they had only known each other for a day or two. It’s considered that they are loyal to each other to be able to do this, so I had the idea of taking them in. After all, it’s not that easy to find loyal and righteous subordinates these days!”

Lin Yi laughed as he raised his gla.s.s to the three of them, “It’s a pity for that Lin Ying. I heard that he’s quite strong and has defeated a half-step golden core ancient martial art pract.i.tioner. If he didn’t die, I might have to shamelessly ask you two for help to get him out and make him a follower!”

“Hahahaha, what a pity! If brother Sima were to open his mouth, such a small matter would be solved with a single sentence! It’s a pity that Lin Ying’s fate was not good and he died inexplicably. Otherwise, if he had followed brother Sima, his luck would have really turned around and he would have soared!”

Lu Butong laughed as he poured Lin Yi a gla.s.s of wine, all his doubts cleared!

If Lin Yi had known about Lin Ying’s death in prison, he wouldn’t have done anything unnecessary.

Wu yucao and the other two had just joined Lin Yi, and they wouldn’t ask Lin Yi for help just for the body of a new friend they just met. It was logical and there was nothing to be suspicious about!

After clearing their doubts, Lu Butong and Nangong Yimeng started treating Lin Yi and black wildflower even more warmly, as if they were old friends.

After eating, they sipped some tea and chatted casually for a while before leaving the private room to go their separate ways. They didn’t expect to meet Jin Yuan Bao at the stairs, who was also preparing to go downstairs!

“Eh, brother Jin is also dining here? If I had known, I would’ve stayed together!”

Lin Yi saw Jin Yuan Bao first and greeted him with a smile,”This little brother just returned to the city and didn’t have time to inform brother Jin, but I didn’t expect to meet you here!”

“Brother Sima? I was just about to say that you didn’t even inform your little brother of your return, but now that you’ve finished, what should I say?”

Jin Yuan Bao laughed and then asked doubtfully,””Brother Sima, What’s this? Why is he with boss hei ye and young city Lord Lu, Nangong Yimeng?”

Jin Yuan Bao did not mind being with black wildflower, but Sima Yi was with Lu Bu Tong and Nangong Yimeng, and that made him a little wary.

“Black wildflower greets young master Jin. I came to Luling city with young master Sima. I’m just a follower, so you don’t have to mind me!”

He didn’t know what black wildflower was thinking, but he’d been keeping a low profile ever since they entered Luling city. Lin Yi was suspicious, but he couldn’t say anything.

“Brother Jin, don’t listen to boss hei ye’s joke. We came from Luling city together!”

Lin Yi explained casually. He didn’t care if Jin Yuan Bao believed him or not.”After returning to the city, I happened to meet young city Lord Lu and gongzi Nangong. Thanks to your warm invitation, I came here to have a meal. It can be considered as a welcome for boss hei ye.”

“So that’s what happened!”

Jin Yuan Bao was relieved. He knew that Lin Yi wouldn’t turn down an invitation so easily, but that didn’t mean he didn’t look down on the two,”I remember someone ridiculed me last time, saying that I misjudged people, saying that some people are liars, and so on. Why did you suddenly come to treat me to a meal?”

Lu Butong and Nangong Yimeng felt a little embarra.s.sed. Although Jin Yuan Bao did not mention any names, any smart person could understand who he was talking about!

If Lin Yi misunderstood, their harmonious atmosphere would be completely ruined!

Unfortunately, this matter could not be explained. The more he explained, the more complicated it would become!

Lu Butong laughed and patted Jin Yuan Bao on the shoulder,””Yuan Bao! Sometimes, you’re just too serious and can’t tell what’s serious and what’s a joke. We’re all in the same industry, so it’s boring to be too serious!”

Jin Yuan Bao secretly pouted. Who’s F * cking joking with you? I’ve always been serious!

However, on the surface, the gold yuan Bank and the City Lord’s mansion maintained a peaceful relations.h.i.+p. They did not openly oppose each other like they did with the Nangong n.o.bles. Therefore, Jin Yuan Bao still had to give Lu Butong some face. Otherwise, he would have directly attacked Nangong Yimeng!
