A Visit from Old Acquaintances in the Black-Corner Region
Xiao Lin naturally wouldn't pay too much attention to Xiao Yan's romantic Love Triangle.
That's Xiao Yan's own business; how he handles it is none of his concern.
After helping Medusa out of that predicament, Xiao Lin stopped interfering.
At the same time, on this day, First Elder Su Qian suddenly sent someone to inform him that someone from the Black-Corner Region wanted to see him and claimed to be an acquaintance of his!
"An acquaintance of mine in the Black-Corner Region?"
After muttering something to himself, a look of surprise flashed across Xiao Lin's face.
Does he still have acquaintances in the Black-Corner Region?
After a long while, Xiao Lin suddenly remembered that he did seem to have a few acquaintances in the Black-Corner Region!
Aren't they just those unlucky bastards, the leaders of those Dou Emperor- level forces, whom he and Zi Yan robbed back then?
I still remember that a somewhat restless force appeared in the Black-Corner Region back then, called the Black Hell Alliance.
At that time, Xiao Lin plotted against all parties, both to train Zi Yan and to weaken the overall strength of the Black-Corner Region.
Later, after destroying the Black Hell Alliance, Xiao Lin politely told them that if they needed anything in the future, they could come to the Jia Nan Academy to find him.
No, he was just being polite.
Why did you actually take it seriously?
But considering that it was indeed something he had said, Xiao Lin couldn't very well go back on his word, could he?
Therefore, after guessing who the so-called acquaintance from the Black-Corner Region who wanted to visit him was, Xiao Lin hesitated for only a moment before agreeing to meet them.
Before long, three people who seemed out of place within the Jia Nan Academy entered the academy and were guided to the Trial Grounds where Xiao Lin was located.
There was an elderly man, a middle-aged man, and a woman.
"Long time no see, Sect Leader Yin, Gang Leader Tie, Sect Leader Su."
Seeing the three people arrive, Xiao Lin greeted them with a smile.
Indeed, these three people are none other than Yin Gu Lao, the sect leader of the Heavenly Yin Sect in the Black-Corner Region; Tie Wu, the leader of the Mad Lion Gang; and Su Mei, the sect leader of the Rakshasa Gate.
"Senior Lin, you are still as charming as ever!"
"Yes, Senior Lin, we've been wanting to visit you ever since we parted ways years ago!"
"We are truly honored that Senior Lin has taken time out of his busy schedule to meet with us!"
The three of them then spoke in turn.
However, one could clearly hear a hint of flattery in their tone!
This is probably due to the current difference in their social status.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the three looked at each other and got down to business.
"Senior Lin, the reason the three of us have taken the liberty of visiting you today is to inform you of something, and also to express our stance!"
Su Mei looked at Xiao Lin, who was sitting at the head of the table, with a serious expression.
As Su Mei finished speaking, Yin Gu Lao and Tie Wu nodded in agreement.
"Oh? You three are also old friends of mine. Please speak freely."
Xiao Lin, however, remained remarkably calm.
During this time, he even leisurely took a sip of tea.
With his current level of cultivation, let alone the Black-Corner Region, even the affairs of the entire Northwest Continent are nothing more than child's play in his eyes.
But this is only from Xiao Lin's perspective.
After all, he was Dou Sheng, while Su Mei and the other two were merely Dou Emperor!
How can such a difference be described in words?
"Senior Lin, not long ago, someone contacted all three of our families, preparing to launch an operation against the Jia Nan Academy! We do not wish to participate, so we are here to inform you!"
Yin Gu Lao spoke with a solemn expression.
"Yes, someone is trying to instigate a conflict between the Black-Corner Region and Jia Nan Academy, and we will absolutely not allow it!"
Tie Wu, the big guy, also agreed.
"Therefore, Senior Lin, please make preparations at the Jia Nan Academy as soon as possible! Of course, if necessary, our three families will definitely stand on the side of the Jia Nan Academy!"
Su Mei also expressed her stance.
After listening to the three people's stories, Xiao Lin only paused for a moment while drinking tea, his expression remaining calm and composed.
Seeing this, the three of them were also unable to guess what Xiao Lin was thinking.
In fact, the three families had already secretly formed an alliance after the Black Hell Alliance was destroyed.
Over the years, the three families have always worked together in the Black-Corner Region.
At the same time, after what happened back then, the three families had a common idea: to cling to the Jia Nan Academy!
Sure enough, not long ago, after rumors spread in the Black-Corner Region, the three of them came straight to find Xiao Lin.
"The person you're talking about, is it that so-called Medicine Emperor Han Feng?"
Xiao Lin asked calmly.
Xiao Lin really hadn't investigated this matter!
However, in the Original Work, he's the only one who would cause trouble at this point in time!
But Xiao Lin is too lazy to deal with these small karami now, so he'll leave them for Xiao Yan to use as training.
Now, both Jia Nan Academy and Xiao Yan are far stronger than in the Original Work. How can Han Feng possibly succeed?
Moreover, without Han Feng causing trouble, Xiao Yan wouldn't have found the opportunity to devour and refine the Fallen Heart Flame!
Therefore, after returning to the Jia Nan Academy, Xiao Lin knew that Han Feng had also come to the Black-Corner Region, but he ignored it.
It's best to let the three of them resolve their own grudges!
It would be beneath him to get involved.
However, Xiao Lin didn't expect that Su Mei and the other two would come for this reason.
However, it must be said that although the three of them had the intention of getting closer to the Jia Nan Academy, they did have good intentions.
"Ah? Senior Lin, so you already knew?"
Hearing Xiao Lin directly mention "Han Feng's" name, the three of them felt a little embarrassed.
The three of them had only intended to curry favor with Xiao Lin, but they never expected that he would find out.
Doesn't this make them seem like they're doing something unnecessary?
"Hehe, I did know about this a long time ago, but the three of you are very thoughtful! Here's what I need you to do: once it's done, Jia Nan Academy will fully support your three families' development in the Black-Corner Region!"
Xiao Lin said with a light laugh.
Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Lin finished speaking, the three of them immediately regained their rosy complexion.
It was clear that Xiao Lin's promise had greatly excited the three of them!
It should be noted that Jia Nan Academy has simply been too lazy to get involved in the affairs of the Black-Corner Region.
If they wanted to, even without Xiao Lin and Mang Tianchi's intervention, the two Qian Bai Er Lao and his companion, would be more than capable of ravaging the entire Black-Corner Region!
However, Jia Nan Academy also considered the Black-Corner Region as part of the students' training, so it didn't do that.
However, if Jia Nan Academy wanted to support the development of a few specific forces in the Black-Corner Region, they could become the top forces in the entire Black-Corner Region in no time!
The reputations of the Heavenly Yin Sect, the Mad Lion Gang, and the Rakshasa Gate in the Black-Corner Region are far superior to those of the other forces!
With Yin Gu Lao, Tie Wu, and Su Mei being so sensible, Xiao Lin wouldn't mind lending them a hand.
It can only be said that someone like Xiao Lin, whose cultivation has reached a certain level, wouldn't mind giving others a chance if they did something that pleased him.
Opportunities, aren't they simply obtained from those with higher cultivation levels?
For Yin Gu Lao, Tie Wu, and Su Mei, Xiao Lin was their destiny!
After explaining his plan to the three of them, they left Jia Nan Academy with beaming smiles on their faces.
