Beauty and the Bodyguard

As Lin Yi had seen, the first floor had too many customers, and a few workers usually couldn't handle it all. They had no choice but to move all the workers there, leaving only one worker to guard the second floor.

And the only worker left was called over by Qi Wenhan for questioning, which allowed Lin Yi to go up to the third floor without any trouble.

Lin Yi was a little surprised to see no one around, but he didn't want to stay any longer. He was about to go downstairs when he heard someone talking in a room not far away.

Lin Yi was shocked. He used his spirit sense to scan the third floor, but he didn't sense anyone. Even if he didn't look carefully, it was just a rough scan, but someone who could hide from his spirit sense must be a rare master.

They were conversing in a private room, and they had to deliberately hide their aura. Who was so mysterious?

Lin Yi couldn't help but be curious, but that was all he wanted to do. He didn't want to interrupt their conversation, but a voice from the room stopped him in his tracks.

"These miscellaneous items are in high demand recently. I have to think of a way to get the headquarters to send more from the secular world. Otherwise, the supply will be cut off in two days."

"That's right. Our stock was already running low yesterday. If we don't get them to deliver the goods quickly, we'll definitely run out of supply. That'll be troublesome!"

"Yes, I'll think of a way to urge them again. Fortunately, they will be teleported to somewhere near us, so our branch will be the first to choose. Otherwise, even if they are teleported here, we won't get a chance. We might not even get to drink the soup ..."

"That's right, the headquarters "strategy is brilliant. They've set off a wave of popularity on the five Sky Class islands, making these items a trend on the island, a symbol of status and identity, forcing everyone to buy them. If they don't buy, they'll lose face and won't be able to raise their heads in front of their friends!"

"Hehe, even if we include the teleportation channel, the cost of each item will only be a few dozen spiritual jades at most, but it can be sold for a sky-high price of a few thousand or even tens of thousands. Is there any business more profitable than this in the world?"

"In the words of the secular world, this is called a monopoly. Who asked us to have these things? No matter how high the price is, they can only obediently give away the spiritual Jade, hahaha!"

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat as he carefully moved closer. Ever since the central Chamber of Commerce appeared, he'd been curious about it, especially the way they brought things from the secular world to the mystery Island. From what these two said, they were probably internal members of the central Chamber of Commerce. They might be able to get some clues.

Lin Yi held his breath and focused, trying his best to hide his presence and blend in with the environment. This was the most important lesson for an assassin, and Lin Yi had always been a master in this field. Even Masters who were an entire realm higher than him wouldn't be able to detect him, let alone those of the same level.

However, before Lin Yi could get close, the two people in the room suddenly quieted down. They stopped halfway through their words, and Lin Yi shivered.

He couldn't stay here for long! Lin Yi didn't have time to react or think-he quickly put on the mask and changed his face, turning to leave.

Unfortunately, Lin Yi was still too slow-two figures appeared and disappeared like ghosts, blocking his way out.

Lin Yi was shocked-just what level were these two masters at? he'd been so careful already, and they still caught him so easily!

The two men in front of him, one masked in black, the other evil-looking, had one thing in common-both of them had a profound aura that Lin Yi's golden finger couldn't detect. This meant that they were both at least nascent soul masters.

But he'd seen his fair share of Yuanying stage Masters-other than the Tian Xing Dao, the pressure they gave him wasn't that great. These two, however, made even the Qi in his body stir-this was something he'd never seen before! These two weren't to be trifled with!

"Who's there? How dare you trespass the forbidden area! MA Tianlang, take him down!" The black-robed man gave the order without a second word. The sinister-looking man named MA Tianlang, who was standing beside him, had a flash of killing intent in his eyes. He immediately exploded.

Lin Yi's heart was in a state of shock when MA Tianlang made his move. He had already felt that these two people were not to be underestimated, but after the opponent made his move, he could finally see their strength clearly. They were actually Super Masters of the xuansheng stage!

Even in the East continent's Morning Star Academy, experts at the xuansheng stage were among the three magnates. Who was this central Chamber of Commerce? how could they encounter such a monster so easily? more importantly, this MA Tianlang seemed to be the subordinate of the Man in Black!

With Lin Yi's mid-stage golden core strength, if his opponents were only nascent soul, even if they were late-stage nascent soul cultivators, as long as he used his ultimate killing move, he still had a chance. He might not be able to kill the two of them, but at least he could escape in the chaos.

But now, his opponent was a xuansheng stage expert who was two stages higher than him. How was he going to deal with this?

No matter how powerful Lin Yi was, he couldn't fight against a mysterious Ascension stage powerhouse with only a mid-stage golden core. Otherwise, the only result would be him being crushed on the spot before he could even react.

"It's a misunderstanding! It was a misunderstanding! "I'm just a guest ......"Lin Yi quickly shouted. He couldn't fight now, so he had to make the enemy lower their guard and act according to the situation.

"A guest?" MA Tianlang sized Lin Yi up and confirmed that he was unfamiliar. He also confirmed that there were no guards on the third floor. He believed Lin Yi a little, but he still sneered,"Misunderstanding my ass! Since you've barged into this place, don't even think about leaving!"

With that, MA Tianlang's body floated and appeared behind Lin Yi in the blink of an eye, grabbing Lin Yi's right shoulder with one hand.

Lin Yi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat as he felt the almost tangible killing intent coming from the opponent's hand. The opponent hadn't even used much of his strength yet, but Lin Yi's Qi was already starting to slow down. He couldn't use his Qi anymore and was no different from a normal person, waiting to be slaughtered. The difference in strength was just too great-he really couldn't fight back at all.

However, Lin Yi still felt a little lucky that the other party only controlled him and didn't kill him directly. Otherwise, he would be a corpse by now. (To be continued.)
