The tension between the two seemed to be building up, and the bitter-looking guy couldn’t help but Pat Lin Yi on the back, worried.”Junior Brother Lin, aren’t you going to stop him? He has just joined us, and now he’s been challenged by brother Qiao and brother Xiao. I’m afraid Lee Zhengming will be angry!”
“Complaints? Hehe, they’re not such shallow and boring people, so you don’t need to worry about them, senior brother ku. ” Lin Yi, on the other hand, didn’t mind.
Lin Yi had a much deeper understanding of his men than anyone else present. There were only two reasons why Xiao ran did this. One was that it was rare to meet Masters of the same level, so it was inevitable that he would be excited. This was human nature, and Xiao ran was no exception.
As for the other point, it was something that even Lin Yi himself was interested in. Right now, most of the new disciples in the pavilion had joined Lin Yi, but there were only three people that Lin Yi would value and have the potential to take on important responsibilities.
Xiao ran, Qiao hongcai, and Lee Zhengming, who had just joined them, were the last possible candidates.
It was inevitable for the three of them to compete against each other, and it was something that had to be done. Now that li Zhengming had won against Qiao hongcai, it didn’t matter who won between him and Xiao ran, Lin Yi’s position as the number one man under Lin Yi’s wing would be secured-there was no doubt about it!
The others might not be able to see this, but the three of them must have already understood it.
Lin Yi was extremely curious about this as well. After all, the three of them had extraordinary talent and potential, and they would all be strong subordinates when they grew up. Who was stronger among the three would determine who would become Lin Yi’s most important right-hand man in the future!
As soon as li Zhengming joined Lin Yi, the news of Qiao hongcai and Xiao ran challenging him to a fight spread like wildfire. Naturally, this matter became the most popular topic in the welcome Pavilion.
Such a lively event naturally could not escape Murong Zhen’s eyes and ears. After hearing about it, he immediately went to find Meng Tong in anger.
“What is it?” Meng Tong let Murong Zhen into the cave weakly. His face was so pale that it was terrifying. He looked like he was seriously ill.
Lin Yi’s injuries last time, although the class 4 great recovery pill had saved him from dying on the spot, the pill’s effects clashed with the meridian heart-shattering pill in his body, and his injuries hadn’t fully recovered yet.
Moreover, he had to endure the inhuman pain of having his heart shattered every day at noon. Coupled with the shock of Meng jueguang’s death, it was a miracle that Meng Tong was still alive.
“How did you end up in this state?” Murong Zhen furrowed his brows.
It was true that she didn’t think highly of Meng Tong before, but ever since he took the meridian heart-shattering pill and became a whole new person, she could clearly feel that this guy’s strength was already slightly above her own, so her impression of him had changed. It could even be said that she was looking forward to it. Even after Meng Tong was defeated by Lin Yi, she didn’t look down on him as before.
“If you have something to say, then say it.” Meng Tong glanced at her coldly. At first, he had been drooling over this woman, but ever since he had returned from the back mountain, this desire had faded. Especially after he had taken the meridian heart-shattering pill, his temperament had changed greatly, and he no longer paid too much attention to this woman who only knew how to sell herself.
Murong Zhen was stunned and his face turned red. Since when had she, the great beauty Murong, ever been disrespected by a mere Meng Tong?
However, Murong Zhen suppressed her anger. Now that Meng jueguang wasn’t here, if she wanted to go against Lin Yi, she had to make all the Allies she could. Kang Zhaoming was one, and Meng Tong was another.
If it was said that before this, she and Lin Yi were only on different sides, but after the Banyue Lake incident, Lin Yi had become a thorn in her side that she had to get rid of. If she wanted to deal with Shangguan LAN ‘er, Lin Yi would be the first Tiger in her way.
When a scheming woman like Murong Zhen made up her mind to do something, she was absolutely terrifying. No matter how bad Meng Tong’s attitude was, as long as they were on the same side, she would bear with it.
“Li Zhengming’s joining Lin Yi, you know about this, right?” Murong Zhen said, suppressing his displeasure.
“There’s such a thing?” Meng Tong was slightly surprised. He had been hiding in his immortal’s cave to recuperate these past few days, so he knew very little about the outside world. Even Meng jueguang’s death had been told to him by Murong Zhen.
“I don’t know what you’re planning, but from what I can see, it doesn’t matter if the other people joined Lin Yi. After all, they’re just useless trash. But li Zhengming is different, he’s no small fry.” Murong Zhen said.
“Extraordinary? Which eye of yours saw that?” Meng Tong laughed coldly as he panted heavily. He had looked down on Lee Zhengming for a long time, not to mention now that he had been reborn.
Murong Zhen shook his head and said slowly,””I’ll only say one thing. He was challenged to a fight by Qiao hongcai, and he won without a hitch. ”
“What?” Meng Tong’s face suddenly changed. Just like the others, he had always thought that Lee Zhengming was just a weak Sky Class full master, so he had never taken him seriously. But this guy, Lee Zhengming, could actually beat Qiao hongcai?
After three exchanges, he was well aware of how strong Qiao hongcai was. Strictly speaking, even if he had taken the meridian heart-shattering pill and transformed himself, it wouldn’t be easy to deal with Qiao hongcai, who was at the early Foundation establishment stage.
The fact that Lee Zheng Ming was able to defeat Qiao Hong Cai meant that this guy had at least reached the foundation building stage, and he was a first-class existence among his peers!
“This guy was supposed to be a powerful chess piece for us to use against Lin Yi. I thought that after Meng jueguang’s death, you’d at least try to win him over. I didn’t think that you’d just let him join Lin Yi without a care!” Murong Zhen said unwillingly.
Logically speaking, after learning of Meng jueguang’s death, Meng Tong, as the number one subordinate, should have immediately stepped forward to try and take over Meng jueguang’s men.
However, Meng Tong didn’t do so. For one thing, he was busy with his closed-door cultivation to recuperate, so it was inconvenient for him to meet people. For another, he didn’t like these good-for-nothings who hadn’t even reached the foundation building stage, so he didn’t want to waste his energy on them. He didn’t expect to have a foreign species like Lee Zhengming, who had hidden his strength.
If Murong Zhen had known that this would happen, he would have tried to win over Lee Zheng Ming. If he could get this man to join him, he would be a great help in the future.
