Chapter 4031: The smart ning Xuefei
Translator: 549690339
Letting out a long breath, Lin Yi stood up feeling refreshed. He looked at the curious ning Xuefei beside him and recalled what happened last night. He felt a little embarrassed. Although his divine sense wasn’t clear at that time, he could still remember the general situation.
Breaking into an unfamiliar woman’s room and falling head first into her bathtub, and most importantly, she was in the middle of a bath … Just thinking about it made Lin Yi feel guilty.
Lin Yi didn’t know what to say, but the sound of heavy footsteps came from outside the door again. They were well-trained, probably from the northern Battlefront Army.
“This is the place. I told you there was a problem here!” The first voice was familiar. It was MA Zi from the northern Garrison, who had called the door last night.
Lin Yi was surprised. The elite Gathering Hall was on high alert, so it was no surprise that the spiritual Qi fluctuation from the breakthrough attracted these North vanguards.
However, it would be really troublesome if he was caught just like that.
After all, the northern Garrison was an elite force. They had been scared away by ning Xuefei’s background last night. Now that they were suspicious again, and such a big thing had happened, it was unrealistic to drive them away with one word.
However, ning Xuefei gave Lin Yi a look, telling him to hide in a corner. She got up and opened the door. She didn’t give the suspicious Northern Battlefront guards a chance to ask questions, and started to complain.
“What are you guys doing? Yesterday, I just bought two Supreme-grade foundation-breaking pills and was at the critical moment of my breakthrough when I was taking them. But you guys interrupted me. Now, my breakthrough has failed, and all my efforts have been in vain. How could your northernmost Island be like this?” Ning Xuefei pouted and said.
“Uh, miss ning …” The North Garrison guards looked at each other. With ning Xuefei’s status, it was not something they could afford to take the blame.
“You came to disturb me last night, and now it’s not even dawn yet, and you’re here to make trouble again. Is this how you treat your guests on the northernmost Island? Hmph, I’ll have your steward song compensate me for the pill tomorrow!” Ning Xuefei scolded angrily, then turned to the servant girl next door who had heard the noise and ran over to serve her.”Xiao Ling, go and call the shop assistant of the Hong Chamber of Commerce over. I’ll ask him if he still has any Supreme-grade pills. So annoying, they’ve all been wasted!”
“Ah, yes,” Xiaoling shrunk her head and left in a hurry.
Seeing this, the northern Garrison guards did not dare to stay here any longer. They bowed to ning Xuefei and apologized, then quickly scattered.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Xiaoling came back to report,””Miss, I haven’t found the assistant from the Hong Chamber of Commerce. Why don’t I go and ask him again when the sun rises?”
Ning Xuefei waved her hand.”It’s fine. I’ve already asked someone to bring him here. You can leave now.”
“Yes.” Xiaoling left obediently, leaving only ning Xuefei and Lin Yi in the room.
Ning Xuefei blinked her big eyes and pouted her lips at Lin Yi,”Hey, are you okay? Don’t you think I’m very smart?”
“I’m fine now, thank you for your help, miss ning!” Lin Yi nodded gratefully. Ning Xuefei’s response not only successfully dodged the North Garrison, but also gave him a legitimate reason to go back later. He didn’t expect her to be so smart.
Just as he was worrying about how to return the favor, Lin Yi saw something from the corner of his eye. There was a small wooden box with the Hong Chamber of Commerce carved on it. It was the two high quality foundation breakthrough pills that ning Xuefei had mentioned yesterday.
Lin Yi’s heart moved.”I will remember miss ning’s help. If you need it in the future, you can go to Hong Zhong of the Hong Chamber of Commerce. No matter what kind of elixir you want to make, just say that I agreed!”
Ning Xuefei’s eyes brightened. She had been thinking about this. She came out to help Lin Yi because of this, but she didn’t expect Lin Yi to ask first. She nodded,”Sure, sure. I won’t be polite.”
Lin Yi chuckled. This girl’s temperament and personality were quite similar to his little Senior Sister Shangguan from the North Island’s sky-rising Pavilion. They should be from a famous sect as well, but Shangguan LAN ‘er wasn’t so crazy.
Lin Yi took a look at the sky, which was getting brighter and brighter, and took out his qiansi mask to put on. He was planning to leave immediately. He took off the qiansi mask when he entered the house yesterday, so that miss ning would recognize him as a shop assistant and not kick him out. Otherwise, he couldn’t guarantee that miss ning wouldn’t sell him out when he was a complete stranger!
Although he was grateful to this miss ning, in the current situation, this place had already become a dangerous place. If he stayed too long, it would be easy for problems to arise.
Besides, Lin Yi didn’t ask her who she was on purpose. He only knew that the North guard said her surname was ning. It wasn’t a good thing to talk too much at this time. If he wanted to thank her, he could find another time.
“You’re leaving already? Let me send you off. There are a lot of North Garrison guards outside, and ordinary people can’t go in and out as they please. ” Ning Xuefei didn’t ask him to stay and suggested.
“Then I’ll have to trouble you.” Lin Yi thought about it and didn’t reject the offer. The guy did give him a good reason, but he was a stranger after all, and he’d be exposed if he were to be interrogated.
The two of them went out immediately. As expected, the security outside was much tighter than usual. Every corner was guarded by the fully armed Northern Garrison guards. Not even a fly could escape.
However, when ning Xuefei walked Lin Yi out from the back door, the northern Garrison guard didn’t come over to check. They just looked at Lin Yi from head to toe, bowed to ning Xuefei, and let him go. It was clear that ning Xuefei’s performance was effective. Otherwise, even with ning Xuefei’s personal company, she wouldn’t let Lin Yi go without asking anything.
After leaving the elite Gathering Hall, Lin Yi let out a sigh of relief. It wasn’t just for himself, but more importantly, from the attitude of the guards, it was obvious that the disguise he made yesterday was effective!
In other words, Butler song and the others should have already concluded that Zheng Tianjie had died from an exploding furnace!
Otherwise, no matter if Zheng Tianjie was still alive or if he was killed by an assassin, the northern Garrison guards would not let him out so easily. They would definitely check everyone who came in and out of the city, even miss ning.
