6242 Chapter 6240-instigating a rebellion against Zheng Dongsheng

“Elder Vermilion Bird, there’s something unusual in the palace. I need you to deal with it.” A spirit beast expert appeared outside the meeting hall just as the decision was pa.s.sed. He reported respectfully at the door.

“You’re so insensible! Can’t you see that there’s an elder meeting going on? What’s so urgent that you can’t wait?” The Vermilion Bird pretended to be displeased and chided her, putting on the airs of a chief elder.

“Elder Vermilion Bird, your subordinates aren’t that insensible. It seems like there’s really something important going on. Let’s take a break for today and continue after we’re done.” The Green Dragon smiled and played the role of the Vermilion bird’s little brother to help him out.

“That’s true. Then everyone, let’s disperse! Azure Dragon, make some arrangements for the matters of the cage Sea region. After you’ve selected a suitable commander, report to everyone. After all, this is the joint decision of the elders Guild and we can’t treat it lightly. Do you understand?” The Vermilion Bird nodded her head and said a few words before she excused herself from Xiao Yan and the black bamboo hat man. She then stood up and walked out of the hall.

White Tiger and black Tortoise looked unhappy and left with him. Although the Vermilion Bird did not have the t.i.tle of the Regent King, he acted like one. The two of them were extremely dissatisfied, but there was nothing they could do.

If Lin Yi didn’t want to go to the Dragonbreath Sea area, White Tiger and black Tortoise could still lower themselves and befriend him, but it was too embarra.s.sing to go to him now. They’d have to wait for another chance.

The four inner sect elders left one by one, and the four outer sect elders naturally had no reason to stay. Xiao Yan was the first to leave, followed by the black bamboo hat elder. Zheng Dongsheng was still thinking about his grandson and cousin, and after some hesitation, he didn’t leave with them. He purposely waited for them to leave before he went to talk to Lin Yi.

“Elder Lin, I am very sincere in making peace with you. In the future, our two families will work together on Nakajima, and our business will be better. It is the same in other aspects. As long as elder Lin needs me, everything can be discussed.” Zheng Dongsheng squeezed out a smile and didn’t mention Zheng Tianqing and Lin Yi. He only tried to get on Lin Yi’s good side.

This was where Zheng Dongsheng was experienced. He knew that if he asked Lin Yi directly, Lin Yi might not answer immediately. It was easier to get the answer he wanted by showing his att.i.tude first.

“Elder Zheng, you’re too kind. In fact, there’s no enmity between our two families that can’t be resolved. It’s best if we can shake hands and make peace. Since you and I can work together to fight against the outside world, I’ll tell you the truth.” Lin Yi smiled and lowered his voice on purpose. He even stuck his head out of the door to look. This cautious att.i.tude would make Zheng Dongsheng believe him more.

In fact, this was just a facade. Lin Yi wanted to know what was going on outside the door, so he just needed to scan with his spirit sense. It was much more convenient than looking with his eyes. The four elders of the spirit beast clan had already left, so he could only extend his spirit sense outside the door. There shouldn’t be any trouble.

When Zheng Dongsheng heard this, he suddenly smiled. After nodding slightly, he looked like he was all ears.

“Originally, your two family members came with me, but we encountered a mysterious illusionary mist s.p.a.ce on the way. They and a friend of mine were trapped inside and can’t come out for the time being. I’m currently thinking of a way to save my friend. Originally, your two family members had no relations.h.i.+p with me, but now that we’re United against an external force, I naturally have to save them as well.” Lin Yi said softly as if he was serious. He wasn’t lying, but this was only part of the truth.

Zheng Dongsheng’s expression changed slightly. His ident.i.ty and status were very awkward. Of course, the people of the Spirit beast clan would not specifically talk to him about the illusion fog s.p.a.ce. Therefore, this was the first time he had heard this term.

Although he did not know what the illusion fog s.p.a.ce represented, his intuition told him that this was definitely not a blessed Grotto. Zheng Tianqing and the other man were probably not very comfortable being trapped in it.

“Master Lin, I wonder if you have any ideas? If there’s anything you need my help with, please let me know. For the sake of our common goal, I’ll definitely die without hesitation!” Zheng Dongsheng cupped his hands in respect. Zheng Tianqing was his most valued grandson. In order to save the two of them, it was not an exaggeration to say that he would do anything.

“Don’t worry, I’m planning to rescue them. I have some progress, but it won’t be that easy. I need some time. If you cooperate with me, I believe I’ll find a feasible solution soon.” Lin Yi didn’t give a definite guarantee, but that made Zheng Dongsheng trust Lin Yi even more.

If Lin Yi said it out loud, even if Zheng Dongsheng didn’t say it out loud, he’d think that Lin Yi was just talking nonsense. It was far better than this! If Lin Yi had just said that he had a plan, why wouldn’t he go save his friend?

“Don’t worry, Master Lin. I’ll definitely cooperate with you. I just don’t know what I should do to cooperate with you. ” Zheng Dongsheng subconsciously bowed, completely in the rhythm of Lin Yi’s Alliance.

“Don’t worry about anything else. What I need the most now is your support in this elder conference! Of course, you can’t support me every time, as that would arouse suspicion and vigilance. You can only support me when I give you the signal!” Lin Yi smiled faintly. He didn’t think that he would be able to pull Zheng Dongsheng into his camp so easily.

Vermilion Bird and Azure Dragon had tried their best to promote Zheng Dongsheng, but they didn’t know that in the end, they had made a wedding dress for someone else. When the situation suddenly turned around at the elders meeting at the critical moment, he didn’t know what expression these two guys would have.

Especially when Lin Yi thought that Zheng Dongsheng might have been recommended by central, he was even happier. It was his favorite thing to do, and he had to carry on this tradition.

“I understand, I understand. I’ll definitely cooperate with Master Lin. Then, I’ll leave the matters of the illusionary mist s.p.a.ce to Master Lin!” Zheng Dongsheng agreed. As long as he could save Zheng Tianqing and Lin Yi, nothing else was important. Whether he could continue to maintain a good relations.h.i.+p with Lin Yi after they came back would depend on the situation.

“Let’s go. It’s easy to arouse suspicion if we stay too long!” Lin Yi waved his hand, signaling for Zheng Dongsheng to leave first.

The two didn’t take much time to talk, but it was indeed more eye-catching to continue to delay. Zheng Dongsheng quickly nodded and agreed. He whispered goodbye and left quickly.

Lin Yi walked out of the meeting hall slowly with his hands behind his back. This time, there were no spirit beast guards following him back to his residence, as if giving him some freedom as an outer hall elder. Unfortunately, there were sentries at every intersection, and Lin Yi guessed that the paths he could take were limited long ago. It didn’t matter if there were spirit beasts following him or not.
