Beauty and the Bodyguard

Even if it was only due to the pressure of public opinion, the higher-ups of the rising Sky Pavilion would definitely take action. At that time, the experts of the law enforcement Hall would inevitably be involved. Not to mention, the reputation of the three Nan heroes was known by everyone. Once Nan tianyong died, the other two would definitely come forward to take revenge.

With so many people staring at him, unless there was something wrong with Lin er's brain, he would not be able to continue to swagger around the market. If he did not take the initiative to show himself, it would not be easy to dig him out!

Seeing this, Yu Zhe carefully replied,""Martial uncle, although I don't know Lin er's background, but from what I know, he seems to know Hong Zhong, the manager of the Hong Chamber of Commerce on the market Street. We should be able to get some useful information from him."

"Oh? Are you sure? This rogue cultivator actually knows the manager of the Hong Chamber of Commerce? That's not simple!" Southern Heaven Gate was slightly stunned.

Unlike Qing Nan tianyong, who had been in seclusion in recent years, southern sky Gate was very clear about the weight of the Hong Chamber of Commerce. It was a real behemoth. Even if it was only the manager of the North Island branch, it was also an incredible figure.

This Lin er District was just a rogue cultivator, but he actually knew the manager of the Hong Chamber of Commerce. In the eyes of a knowledgeable person like Nan Tianmen, this news was even more shocking than him killing Nan tianyong with one ultimate move!

Yu Zhe nodded and confirmed,"although I don't know how close the two of them are, I'm guessing that hongzhong has recently given this Lin er a spiritual Jade card."

This speculation was purely the conclusion that Zhe had come up with after much thought. Although it was a little groundless, he was smart and guessed the whole story.

He'd come to this conclusion based on the three times he'd met Lin Yi in the inner streets.

The first time, the two of them took advantage of the opening day of the inner street and at the Hong Chamber of Commerce, both of them had their eyes on the star inkstone.

The second time, the two of them still went to the Hong Chamber of Commerce at the same time to compete for the star inkstone during the opening day of the inner street a month later. From this point alone, it was clear that Lin Yi didn't have the spirit Jade card on him, nor did he have the right to enter the inner streets as he pleased. Otherwise, he would've bought the star inkstone before anyone else.

The third time, it wasn't the inner Street's opening day. Yu Zhe was able to enter the inner street all thanks to the spirit Jade card in his master's hands. However, what surprised him was that he actually ran into Lin Yi at the Hong Chamber of Commerce for the third time!

During this period of time when the inner street was not open, there were only two types of people who could enter and leave the inner street freely. One was the disciples of the three pavilions who were recognized by the market in terms of status and strength, and the other was the distinguished guests with the spirit Jade card.

Although Yu Zhe had been buried in the library for the past three years, he had always known the famous figures of the three great pavilions like the back of his hand. At least in his impression, there was no unfamiliar face like Lin er. Otherwise, with his photographic memory, he would have recognized him the first time.

Since it wasn't the first possibility, then the remaining possibility could only be the second one. This Lin er originally didn't have a spirit Jade card, but for some reason, he suddenly had one after he bought the star inkstone from the Hong Chamber of Commerce.

Therefore, Yu Zhe naturally came up with this speculation. Hong Zhong had given Lin er a spiritual Jade card!

Although this matter was a little outrageous, he knew that Lin er had a Supreme-grade foundation-breaking pill in his possession. Businessmen had always liked rare goods. It was not hard to understand why Hong Zhong gave him a spiritual Jade card because he thought highly of Lin er.

"Spiritual Jade card? Interesting, even someone of third brother's level isn't qualified to obtain a spiritual Jade card. If I remember correctly, this fellow went to borrow a spiritual Jade card from the boss a few days ago?" South Heaven Gate asked with a cold smile.

"That's right. The spiritual Jade card can bring an additional person into the inner street. Without this spiritual Jade card, we wouldn't have been able to meet Lin er this time." Yu Zhe nodded.

"Hmph! A good-for-nothing who can't even get a spirit Jade card will only bring shame to our Nan family if he's alive. By the way, did you find the boss's spirit Jade card on his body? If the boss comes back and finds out that his spiritual Jade card is gone, he'll go crazy!" South Heaven Gate said with a frown.

On the five sky-class islands, the spiritual Jade card was the best proof of a person's status. Even the strongest person would value it, and the leader of the three Nan brothers was no exception.

Hearing these words, Yu Zhe's heart tightened. The spirit Jade card that Nan tianyong had borrowed from his boss was now in his hands, along with the various treasures that he had obtained from Nan tianyong's body.

He knew that without the owner's true energy, the spiritual Jade card would be useless even if he held it in his hand. He would not be able to use a single bit of the spiritual Jade card. This was because to use the spiritual Jade card, one had to inject true energy into it and pass the verification of the joint formation of the various Chambers of Commerce!

But Yu Zhe couldn't resist the temptation! The owner of this spiritual Jade card was the eldest of the three Nan brothers. The number of spiritual jades in it was enough to make any cultivator's eyes go blurry, and Yu Zhe was no exception.

There was a rumor that as long as one could get the cooperation of the top Chamber of Commerce or the merchant Union, even if it was someone else's spiritual Jade card, they could still extract all the spiritual Jade from it.

Therefore, even if he knew that there was a risk in keeping this spiritual Jade card, Yu Zhe was still unwilling to throw it away. The spiritual Jade in this spiritual Jade card was more valuable than all the treasures he found on Nan tianyong's body. This was the support for his meteoric rise in the future, so how could he throw it away?

"Master's junior, Lin 'er's killing move was too shocking. Many of master's belongings were lost. After that, it attracted many onlookers from the nearby market. I couldn't care too much and could only snatch master's body back. As for master's senior's spiritual Jade card, I don't know who picked it up during the chaos." Although Yu Zhe's heart was flustered, he didn't show it on his face and calmly replied.

These words were both true and false. Even a wise man like the southern Heaven Gate would find it difficult to determine the truth in a short time, unless he had suspected Yu Zhe from the beginning and searched his body or cave.

Unfortunately, although the relationship between the southern Heaven Gate and Nan tianyong had never been good, they still admired this disciple of Nan tianyong, Yu Zhe.

Southern Heaven's Gate's vision could easily see that if Yu Zhe was trained well, he would be the material to become a great person in the future. However, in the past, because he was Nan tianyong's disciple, it was not good for him to give orders, and he was not interested in doing so, so he had never given any benefits or guidance.
