301: Section 301

He wouldn't even have brought Liu Hongmei with him to the New District.

Instead, he would have chosen to abandon her...

So, when Lin Yi gave him that scholarship money, he just wanted to spend one million to sever their father-son bond.

It could also be considered repaying the debt of his upbringing.

Shen Mengyi nodded: "Right, only by becoming stronger can one gain respect!"

"Only then can we change the way those local students view us!"

"It's just that this path is very difficult to walk, but I have already made up my mind. Even if the road to becoming a powerhouse is covered in thorns, even if it leaves me covered in bruises and wounds, I will persist and keep walking!"

"Because I still carry my brother's expectations with me!"

As she finished speaking, Lin Yi raised his hand and placed it on her shoulder.

He leaned in toward Shen Mengyi's ear and whispered: "Then let's all work hard together and see who can go further?"

When the Qi from Lin Yi's breath brushed against Shen Mengyi's face, she felt her cheeks turn burning hot.

She hurriedly dodged slightly to the side, not daring to meet Lin Yi's gaze.

Lin Yi noticed this subtle movement of hers.

Only then did he realize it was somewhat inappropriate, so he quickly withdrew his hand and changed the subject: "Um, what about Wei Shang and Feng Lei? Why don't I see them?"

Hearing this, Shen Mengyi also pulled back her previous little thoughts.

She hurriedly shook her head and said: "I don't know. They were just here, training with us earlier. Maybe they went to the lounge?"

Lin Yi nodded.

He didn't care where Wei Shang and Feng Lei had gone.

He was just using them to break the slightly ambiguous atmosphere from a moment ago.

He then continued: "How about we go in and train too? Open a few more Heart Apertures?"

"Okay!"

Shen Mengyi nodded and gently pushed open the door.

The two of them walked in one after the other.

...

In the changing room.

Wei Shang was holding his phone, making a call with a serious expression.

The person on the other end of the line was Old He, the current head of the Martial Suppression Bureau.

"You need to be careful recently, especially with the people from the Martial Arts Alliance. I suspect Old Yao won't let this go, nor will he let that plan of his be scrapped!"

"Heh... Old He, aren't we being too cautious?"

"Even if Old Yao is unwilling to give up, what can he do? Does he dare to come and snatch people openly?"

"If he really sends people to snatch him, wouldn't that clearly be setting himself against our Martial Suppression Bureau? Isn't he afraid of the Martial Arts Alliance changing leadership?"

Wei Shang said with a look of contempt.

His words showed he completely disregarded Old Yao's status in the Martial Arts Alliance.

Old He sighed slightly: "Regardless of whether he dares to do so, it's always fine to be a bit careful!"

"I'm just afraid that Old Yao has lost his mind. If he really does something extreme, there will be no way to clean up the mess!"

"By the way, how have you been getting along with Lin Yi recently? Have you gained his trust yet?"

Hearing this, a look of confidence flashed in Wei Shang's eyes.

"Are you still worried when I'm handling things? Old He, I'm not bragging, but that little brat Lin Yi? I can take him down in minutes!"

"Now his few friends already trust me completely. He's next; it's just a matter of time!"

Regarding Wei Shang's boasting, Old He nodded.

"It's good that you've gained their trust; it makes it easier for you to protect him at close range!"

"We've received some wind that it's not just the Martial Arts Alliance eyeing him!"

"Be careful with everything. Don't blame me for not warning you—if anything happens to Lin Yi, I won't be polite to you!"

Wei Shang: "..."

Chapter 229: Since when did our Martial Suppression Bureau lose its prestige?

"Old He, I'm really not complaining!"

"Does our Martial Suppression Bureau have no prestige left?"

"A few measly aristocratic families dare to not take our Martial Suppression Bureau seriously?"

Wei Shang said with slight anger.

Old He fell into a silence on the phone.

After a long while, he said softly: "Yes, since when has our Martial Suppression Bureau lost its prestige?"

"If you ask me, we should just find a few aristocratic families and make an example of them to show them!"

"No matter when, the Martial Suppression Bureau is not something they can look down upon!"

"Otherwise, sooner or later, they won't put the Martial Suppression Bureau in their eyes, and they might even ride on our necks to shit and piss!"

Wei Shang continued to incite.

"Don't worry about this matter for now. Continue the protection mission; you must ensure Lin Yi's safety.

The dignity of the Martial Suppression Bureau will not be trampled by anyone. The dignity we have lost, we will take back!"

"You just need to remember your mission!"

Old He's tone became incomparably cold.

Even through the phone, Wei Shang could hear his killing intent.

"Old He, don't worry. With me and Feng Lei here, no one can touch Lin Yi!"

"Regardless of who they are... Oh, Old He, can I ask one more question?"

"Speak!"

"Is Lin Yi... the White Tiger Martial God?"

Wei Shang mustered his courage and asked the question that had been in his heart.

Although he and Feng Lei had guessed Lin Yi's identity from the beginning.

After all, someone who could make the Martial Suppression Bureau send people for close protection couldn't possibly have a simple identity.

And Lin Yi was just a Martial arts examinee from the Old District; what prominent status could he have in the New District?

Thinking about the sign of the Star-Constellation White Tiger that appeared not long ago, it was easy to guess the reason.

Old He was silent for a long time before saying: "Yes, he is not just the White Tiger Martial God, but also General Yi Nanshan's grandson. That is why we have you protect him closely—we cannot allow Lin Yi to be disturbed by the outside world!"

"By the way, in a little while, he might become the closed-door Disciple of the Old Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain!"

"Ah?"

Old He either said nothing, or when he did, it was one thunderclap after another.

White Tiger Martial God.

General Yi Nanshan's grandson.

The Old Celestial Master's closed-door Disciple?

These titles were each bigger than the last, and his status was even more impressive than the last.

First of all, the Martial Suppression Bureau was subordinate to the Martial God.

The previous Martial God had left hundreds of years ago, and no one knew if he was still alive.

Even if he was alive, no one knew if he could come back.

Now, Lin Yi could be considered the second Martial God.

The Martial Suppression Bureau naturally followed Lin Yi's lead.

Before he grew into a true Martial God, the Martial Suppression Bureau had an obligation to protect his safety.

Until he truly grew into the White Tiger Martial God...

Besides this, Lin Yi was also General Yi Nanshan's grandson?

General Yi Nanshan's status in the New District went without saying.

As one of the seven Guardians of the Martial Arts Alliance, he was also a supreme existence.

Furthermore, the Yi Family behind General Yi Nanshan was even more formidable.

He had a total of three sons and two daughters.

The youngest daughter was Lin Yi's mother, Xiao Qing.

Back then, she was the pride of the New District, a rising star with great martial arts talent.

How many people had been optimistic about her future? Yet, because of her love-struck nature, she ruined her own path.

General Yi Nanshan's eldest daughter, Director Yi Xiaoying, held the position of professor at the Weapon Research Institute.

All of The Army's weapons, armor, and some Magical Artifacts came from the Weapon Research Institute.

Its authority in the entire New District was unquestionable.

Her daughter, Tang Qinru, was also an incredible person.
