Chapter 790 A Darkness Deeper Than Darkness Is Everywhere

That kid! He's way too smart!
A guy with great talent, intelligence, and even good looks—wouldn't his existence attract divine jealousy and be targeted by the heavens? That's illogical!

At first, Feng Gu was so cautious that he suspected Tian De's motives were impure, wondering if he had been turned by someone and deliberately set a trap to lure out someone like Lin Yi.

But after talking with Lin Yi, Feng Gu completely let down his guard.

Lin Yi is nothing more than a lone boat on a vast ocean, only seeking safety and self-preservation.

Such clean-cut young people are exactly what they need.

"Pa bang bang~"

Maple Valley couldn't help but applaud.

They expressed their agreement with Lin Yi's statement.

However, after drinking the tea given to him by Xiyue, Fenggu did not rush to leave.

There are very few targets like Lin Yi on Planet Sebit, so how could he give up so easily?

"What a clever young man! You're really leaving me no room for maneuver. However, I still sincerely invite you to join us."

"With your abilities, young friend, wouldn't it be a waste to live a mediocre life? With your skills and intelligence, your status and position can definitely surpass mine. How about I give you a task for six months? During these six months, you can do the task whenever you want."

"Once the mission is completed, it will be considered your pledge of allegiance to us. As for what you need at this stage, you can speak directly to Tiande, and he will try his best to meet your needs."

Maple Valley, as expected of someone who has been in a high position for a long time, speaks and acts with the same dignity.

After a brief conversation, Maple Valley left, giving Lin Yi an item and a letter.

After seeing Maple Valley off, Lin Yi began to examine the contents of the letter.

However, Lin Yi was deeply shocked after reading the contents.

The Three Realms and Six Paths, and tens of thousands of smaller worlds, all operate according to the rules set by the gods.

But is that really the case, even if it appears so on the surface?

The world is far more complex than Lin Yi imagined.

I realize that what I've seen is just the tip of the iceberg of this world.

"What's wrong, Lin Yi? Your expression doesn't seem quite right."

An unusually serious expression was rarely seen on Lin Yi's face.

Sure enough, when Lin Yi showed this expression again, Xi Yue couldn't help but ask him a question.

It's better to let Xiyue see some things for herself.

Therefore, Lin Yi directly handed over the letter that Feng Gu had given him.

The purpose of this mission was not clearly stated in the letter.

However, it's not hard to deduce the purpose of the mission from its content, or more directly, it's not hard to deduce what the group behind Maple Valley is up to.

In this world, apart from those in high positions, everyone seems to be dispensable.

"Unexpectedly, by sheer chance, I found a clue."

Clues?

Lin Yi shared his guess.

With just a few words, Xi Yue was struck by the difference in their intelligence.

"So, does that mean we'll take action today?"

Xi Yue said.

Lin Yi played with the small object in his hand, commenting on it as he did so.

"The forging techniques in this world seem rather ordinary. The objects made from such rare materials are so crude. Their skills are far inferior to mine."

Xi Yue couldn't help but complain:

Honestly, what level are they at? You're a genius with the [All-Seeing Eye] and [Fiery Eyes]. After hearing Xi Yue's words, Lin Yi smiled with satisfaction.

"Let's just continue with our normal lives these next few days. There's no rush to start anything about the mission."

Lin Yi knew very well that the mission letter from Maple Valley was definitely part of a test.

With such an exaggerated task, even setting aside whether one has the ability to complete it, the impact after execution alone is enough to cause considerable anxiety.

Moreover, Lin Yi has already established himself as a cunning old fox, so he can't rush into action.

As Lin Yi had predicted, things turned out just as he had expected.

After leaving, Feng Gu used his influence to set up countless sentries around the venue, and the targets of their surveillance were naturally Lin Yi and Xi Yue.

Of course, this news was reported by Tiande, a loyal lackey.

Ten days passed quickly.

In these ten days, Lin Yi won twenty-four matches without any suspense.

The powerful figures from all sides initially wanted to defeat Lin Yi to establish their authority, but their attitude changed to "don't bother yourself."

As for those powerful figures who were at or above the Martial Arts Perfection level, none of them intended to fight Lin Yi.

Lin Yi is so young, even if he loses to a powerful older generation, his reputation won't be too bad.

But it's different for veteran powerhouses. If they lose to Lin Yi, they'll lose face big time.

Inside the VIP room of the largest and most luxurious restaurant in Sangcheng, two middle-aged men sat facing each other.

One of them would often humbly get up and refill the other's wine.

"Hehe, sir, is it possible that Lin Yi is really just a person without any ambition?"

Tiande poured Maple Valley another cup and said with a smile.

"I think that kid is a complete money-grubber. If money isn't enough, what should we offer? I really don't believe he won't be tempted."

For some reason, I usually find Tiande's words quite agreeable, but today, for some reason, Fenggu just finds Tiande incredibly noisy.

This was Tiande's third report since Fenggu left.

To ensure that the people using it were okay, Maple Valley specifically set aside a few days for observation.

Judging from the messages relayed by the sentries, Lin Yi is indeed a simple-minded person, so simple that all he thinks about is the bonus.

"That kid is ungrateful. He didn't appreciate the opportunity you gave him, sir.

"If I had that ability, I would definitely follow your lead."

"Should we give him a little nudge and make him do those things willingly, sir?"

Maple Valley gave a cold laugh.

"Your thoughts are practically written all over your face. Do you think I'd trust you to do this?"

"He can figure it out whenever he wants; this can't be rushed."

Just as Tiande finished reporting Lin Yi's recent situation and was about to leave, the scouts from Maple Valley brought good news.

How can you tell it's good news? The scout couldn't hide his smile any longer.

"My lord, good news! Lord Lin Yi has left Planet Saisite with the mark you gave him. It shouldn't be long before he completes his mission, right?"

Upon hearing this, Maple Valley's eyes lit up.

After waiting for so long, I've finally received the news I've been waiting for.

"Heh, not bad. Someone, come with me to headquarters."

"This kid will probably be one of ours in the future, so we still need to give him a proper status."

Meanwhile, Lin Yi and Xi Yue were caught in the spatial turbulence caused by the spatial jump.
