School flower's personal master

Chapter 12335

Seeing Lin Yi's oppressive aura descending upon him, Sima Hongtu hurriedly said, "You can't kill me! If you kill me now, all my memories will be immediately transmitted to the entire Sima family!"

Lin Yi frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

Sima Hongtu swallowed hard and said cautiously, "I went out on my own initiative this time, and the family's higher-ups were unaware of it, but!"

"However, each of our top-tier retainers has been imprinted with the unique primordial spirit mark of the Sima family."

“If something goes wrong, all our memories will be transmitted back.”

"By then, every high-ranking member of the Sima family will know immediately, and then it will be completely irreversible."

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and said, "So, according to you, I should keep you alive and let you go back to report?"

"No, no, no! I absolutely will not go back to report this!"

Sima Hongtu quickly said, "I can cover all this up for you, and I can even be your inside man and cover for you. I only have one small request."

Lin Yi laughed: "You have any other requests?"

Sima Hongtu braced himself and said, "I'm not greedy, I only ask to share the loopholes in the track."

Lin Yi was stunned for a long time.

He truly never expected that the other party would still utter such words after reaching this point.

"Brilliant."

Lin Yi said in a low voice, "You're really quite confident."

Sima Hongtu said sincerely, "Young Master Lin, it's not that I'm overconfident, but you don't have much dealings with these powerful families, so you may not be familiar with their methods."

"Anyone with even a little bit of usefulness has no chance of escaping their control."

What I just said is not an exaggeration.

"Of course, if you absolutely refuse to believe it and insist on taking this risk, then I can't stop you. What you do next is entirely up to you."

Lin Yi smiled enigmatically: "Really? Come to think of it, I actually quite enjoy gambling. Shall we give it a try?"

Seeing that he didn't seem to be bluffing, Sima Hongtu was startled.

While what he said might be exaggerated, it was definitely not a lie. If Lin Yi dared to kill him directly, the Sima family would immediately find out.

The problem is, even if Lin Yi is unlucky by then, Sima Hongtu will already be a dead man.

What's the point?

Sima Hongtu hurriedly said, "Now all the noble families of Tianjun are looking for you, and even the Heavenly Palace has been alerted. Once your whereabouts are exposed, the entire Tianjun will be caught in a net. Does Young Master Lin think he can escape?"

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow: "Heavenly Palace?"

Sima Hongtu, fearing that he might not know what was good for him, immediately explained the power structure of Tianjun and concluded with a sentence.

"The Heavenly Palace represents the collective will of the Tianjun aristocratic families. Once the Heavenly Palace intervenes in any matter, it signifies that the matter is settled and there can be no further changes."

Fearing Lin Yi might not believe him, he quickly added, "It is now confirmed that the Rooster Group of the Heavenly Palace Twelve Groups has received the mission. I have a friend who is a member of the Rooster Group."

"The Twelve Heavenly Palace Groups?"

Lin Yi was slightly surprised.

Sima Hongtu explained, "That is a powerful organization specifically under the Heavenly Palace. At the beginning of the Heavenly Palace, it integrated the resources of major families and set up twelve groups, which correspond to the traditional twelve zodiac animals."

"These groups are small, but each selected member is either a top expert or a unique talent with exceptional abilities."

"Each of the twelve groups is responsible for different tasks, with the Rooster Group mainly responsible for supervision."

"As long as it's within the Tianjun territory, there's nothing they can't find if they want to investigate."

Lin Yi clicked his tongue: "You mean, I'm already on the Rooster Group's monitoring list?"

Sima Hongtu nodded repeatedly.

Lin Yi looked at him and said, "Make it clear: is it me personally who is on the watch list, or is it my pseudonym that is on the watch list?"

"..."

Sima Hongtu hesitated for a moment before saying, "According to my friend, they are mainly focusing on Qin Shengjie and Tang Qingxue, and depending on the situation, they may launch a crackdown."

"But they have more important tasks at the moment, and they have limited energy to devote to this."

"As for investigating you personally, the Liu family and several other prominent families are currently the main ones making efforts, while the Rooster Group is just following up and paying attention."

Lin Yi breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He had never dealt with the Heavenly Palace Twelve Groups before, but he could foresee that once they faced each other, they would be quite formidable opponents.

Although it was bound to happen sooner or later, every day we could delay it was a day better.

He needs more time to develop.

While the situation has been somewhat unexpected so far, it is still generally within a controllable range.

Sima Hongtu added, "I mentioned your matter to my friend. If something happens to me, my friend might suspect you."

Lin Yi glanced at him sideways: "Are you picking on me again?"

"Don't dare."

Sima Hongtu quickly lowered his head, then couldn't help but ask, "Could you please reconsider my suggestion?"

Lin Yi looked at him with amusement: "You really have a lot of confidence."

Sima Hongtu said cautiously, "Young Master Lin, don't worry, I will definitely not reveal your secret. I can even act as your inside man and cover for you. It's a win-win situation for everyone."

Lin Yi raised his eyelids slightly: "To put it another way, are you planning to live off this secret for the rest of your life?"

"..."

Having said that, Sima Hongtu simply stopped pretending: "I didn't mean that, but if Young Master Lin insists on interpreting it that way, then I won't object."

"Young Master Lin is a smart man, and I believe you will make the most rational choice."

Lin Yi nodded: "Of course."

Before Sima Hongtu could even feel happy, the scene before him suddenly changed, and the atmosphere of the entire space became completely different.

Lin Yi's playful voice rang out from the side: "Jiang Xiaoshang, you've got a job to do."

Jiang Xiaoshang, wearing flip-flops, strolled over with a frown: "You make me wipe your butt every day, are you never going to stop?"

Lin Yi chuckled: "Isn't it because you did a good job wiping it?"

This wasn't him being modest.

He could also torture someone into submission, but compared to Jiang Xiaoshang, his skills were rather rough.

Professional tasks should be left to professionals.

Sima Hongtu was both surprised and suspicious. He subconsciously tried to escape, but he was locked in place by the surrounding space. Even in his peak condition, he could not move an inch, let alone after his Dharma body had just collapsed due to Lin Yi's attack.

Even now, Sima Hongtu had no idea what was going to happen next. He could never have imagined that this unkempt man would become a nightmare that haunted him for the rest of his life.

Lin Yi and the others waited outside for only half an hour.

For Sima Hongtu inside, however, nearly a month had passed.

During that month, he not only felt like each day was an eternity, but every minute and second felt like an eternity!
