Lin Yixi turned around and saw four men. They should be around eighteen years old, and they were dressed luxuriously. One look and one could tell that they were from noble families.
" What can I do for you guys?" Lin Yixi asked as he looked at the four of them.?
"Young Master Lin, I don't dare to advise you. We have admired you for a long time and want to invite you to the Sun Ascension Tower for a drink.”One of the four said.
" Drink? Sure, but I don't know your names yet," Lin Yixi agreed, thinking that the four of them looked familiar.
" Oh, I'm sorry, Young Master Lin. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Gang Hao. These three are Feng Yu, Fei Yang, and Zhi An," the person who spoke just now said apologetically.
" I remember now. These four people were the ones from the day Ling Ziyun and I got married. They were talking about the Eight Absolutes of the Heaven," Lin Yixi remembered who they were after hearing their names.
When Lin Yixi and Ling Ziyun got married, Lin Yixi's spirit sense was everywhere in the hall, so he could roughly remember everyone.
" Don't call me Young Master Lin, just call me Yixi. If you want to go to the Sun Tower, go now." Lin Yixi wanted to see what they were up to.
" Okay, okay, Young Master Lin, no, Yixi, please, please," The four of them said happily when Lin Yixi agreed.
Lin Yixi looked at the food and wine on the table and asked,"You didn't invite me here to admire me, right? If there's anything, just say it.”
" That's right. We have a favor to ask of you today. Please forgive us if we've done anything inappropriate, Yixi," Gang Hao said, a little ashamed.
" I'll tell you," Lin Yixi said with a frown as he drank a glass of wine. The wine wasn't good, and Lin Yixi hadn't had any good wine since he came to this world." It seems that I should brew a few jars of wine when I'm free."”
" About ten days ago, we were at Spring Beauty Pavilion. We had an argument with Young Master Zhou for the first time," Gang Hao took a sip of wine and said to Lin Yixi.
" So, that Zhou family's young master is holding a grudge against you, and he even attacked your family. Your family was no match for him, so you came to me for help," Lin Yixi smiled at the four of them.
" Yes, yes, Yixi, you're so smart. Yixi, please help our family," the four of them suddenly knelt in front of Lin Yixi.
" You guys can get up. I don't like people kneeling, especially me," Lin Yixi said,""Why should I help you?”
" Yixi, as long as you can help our family get through this crisis, we are willing to work for you." The four of them seemed to have made up their minds.
" What's the point of having you guys work like cows and horses? I have a lot of servants, and none of them are worse than you," Lin Yixi shook his head.
" Yixi, it's our fault. We'll treat you to a drink another day." The four of them were dejected and were about to leave.
" Wait, I'm not done," Lin Yixi stopped them as they were about to leave.?
" Yixi, y-you want to help us?" The four of them said excitedly.
" It's not that I can't help you. As long as you do what I say, I'll help you," Lin Yixi smiled.
" Yixi, tell us. We will definitely do it," the four of them said excitedly.
" I want you to set up an intelligence agency, which means to collect information on all kinds of people on the continent, and I want them to know what they're doing…" Lin Yixi said a lot of things about the intelligence agency.
" Erm…" The four didn't know what to say.
"I don't expect you to have information on everyone at the beginning. You can start from Tiandu and start collecting information from small figures. This way, you will have the experience to collect information from all over the continent. I'll give you a week's time.”Lin Yixi smiled at them.
" Sure, no problem, we'll do it well," The four of them thought about it and nodded at each other.
" But, how can I trust you guys?" Lin Yixi said to the four of them.
The four looked at each other and said,"I, Gang Hao, Feng Yu, Fei Yang, Zhi An, swear in the name of the God of Creation that we are willing to serve Lin Yixi as our master.”
Lin Yixi didn't believe in the God of Creation, but he knew that the oath they made was still valid. The name of the God of Creation was the highest level of oath in the Heavenly Scar Continent.
" Don't worry, I'll help your family get through this. Sit down and have a drink," Lin Yixi smiled.
" No, Master, we can't sit with you." The hierarchy of the master and servant in the Heavenly Scar Continent was very clear, so the four of them didn't dare to act rashly.
" Sit down when I tell you to. Also, don't call me master, just call me young master. You don't have to be so formal in front of me, just like before," Lin Yixi said.?
" Yes, Master." Although Lin Yixi said so, they were still careful.
After three rounds, Lin Yixi said to Gang Hao, Feng Yu, Feiyang, and Zhian,"Let's go out for a walk."
" Yes," the four replied.
" Eh, why are there so many people buying and selling lanterns today?" Lin Yixi couldn't help but ask as he looked at the lanterns on the street.
" Young Master, it's the Lantern Festival in a few days, that's why there are so many people buying and selling lanterns," Gang Hao replied. He wasn't that restrained anymore. After drinking with Lin Yixi, they understood that Lin Yixi was different from the rumors.
" Yeah, it's the Lantern Festival in a few days," Lin Yixi said.
The Lantern Festival was a custom in the Heavenly Marks Continent. On the night of the Lantern Festival, young men and women would hold lanterns and express their love to the person they liked.
As long as you give the lantern to the person you like, if she accepts you, she will take your lantern and give you her lantern. If she doesn't accept you, she will turn around and leave, ignoring you.
" You guys shouldn't call me young master anymore, just…call me boss. We're brothers from now on, not master and servant. Don't worry," Lin Yixi couldn't stand their tone and spoke carefully.
"We don't dare…"
" Why wouldn't I dare? Am I not qualified to be your brother?" Lin Yixi stopped them.
" No, we just don't think we're worthy." Gang Hao, Feng Yu, Fei Yang, and Zhi An didn't dare to have such extravagant hopes. After all, their families were comparable to the Lin Family. It was still far from enough.
" What's there to be unworthy of? Everyone is equal. As long as you respect yourself, you'll realize that everyone is the same," Lin Yixi shook his head.
" Yeah, we got it, boss." Gang Hao, Feng Yu, Feiyang, and Zhian finally let go of their restraints.
" Alright, let's go and see the lanterns," Lin Yixi wanted to buy a few for Ling Ziyun and the others.
People who had been married before could also take lanterns and walk around, so that they could get some joy.
A married person would have a pair of 'love geese' in their lantern, while a single person would have a 'love geese' in their lantern.
The love geese were loyal to love. The pair of geese would never leave each other. They would follow each other in life and death. Once they died, the other would die for love. Therefore, they were willing to be seen as the symbol of love by the people of the Heavenly Scar Continent.
Lin Yixi looked at it for a long time and realized that the lanterns weren't as good as his own."Why are the lanterns here so ugly?”
Lin Yixi had made a lantern for his girlfriend in his previous life. He looked up the style of the lantern on the Internet and combined it with his own innovation to make a very beautiful lantern. At that time, someone even wanted to buy it from him at a high price.
" Boss, I know a place that sells lanterns. The lanterns there are very beautiful and there are many of them. Why don't we go and take a look?" Zhian walked in front of Lin Yixi and said.
" Boss, we also know that the shop is called 'Ten Thousand Lanterns Tower'," Gang Hao, Feng Yu, and Fei Yang said.
" Ten Thousand Lanterns, how arrogant. Let's go take a look." Lin Yixi smiled and walked towards the Ten Thousand Lanterns with Gang Hao, Feng Yu, Feiyang, and Zhian.
Lin Yixi looked at the tower and said,"This Ten Thousand Lanterns Tower is much more imposing than other light shops. I wonder how it is inside.”
" Boss, let's go to the highest floor. The lanterns there are the most beautiful and the best," Feiyang said to Lin Yixi.
" Okay, let's go straight to the ninth floor. We don't have to waste time," Lin Yixi nodded. Gang Hao, Feng Yu, Feiyang, and Zhian followed him up the stairs.
" The lanterns here are indeed prettier than the other shops, but they're not necessarily as beautiful," Lin Yixi said to Gang Hao, Feng Yu, Feiyang, and Zhian after observing them.
" No, we think it's already very beautiful, and the most beautiful lantern in the capital is here, so you can only choose here," Feng Yu said to Lin Yixi.
" Look, boss, that's sister-in-law," Gang Hao suddenly pointed at a woman not far away.
" There, why don't I see her?" Lin Yixi looked in the direction of Gang Hao and saw that there was only a very beautiful girl, but he had never seen her before.
" Boss, it's that very beautiful girl," Gang Hao continued to point at the girl.
" I don't even know her, don't yell at me," Lin Yixi rolled his eyes.
" Boss, don't joke around," Gang Hao, Feng Yu, Fei Yang, and Zhi An said at the same time. It seemed like they all knew who that girl was.
" Do I look like I'm joking? I've never seen her before. How can she be my wife?" Lin Yixi said helplessly.
" Boss, you really don't know her? Her name is Chen Yao, she's your unmarried wife," Gang Hao looked defeated as he looked at Lin Yixi.
" Chen Yao, I've never seen her before. Of course I don't know what she looks like," Lin Yixi said with a pout.
" Boss, you're really something. If I had such a beautiful fiancée, I would definitely be with her every day," Zhian said with envy.
" Tsk, with your character, why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror? Do you want such a beautiful fiancée? Only our boss deserves it," Feiyang said disdainfully.
" That's right. Our sister-in-law is the 11th most beautiful woman in the capital. You're so shameless," Feng Yu said disdainfully.
" Eh, the lantern in her hand, that paper... It looks like the talisman paper I need. Yes, it's the talisman paper I need, but it's only low-grade, but it's better than nothing," Lin Yixi suddenly realized that the paper on Chen Yao's lantern was the talisman paper he was looking for.
"Do you know who the boss is?”Lin Yixi asked Gang Hao, Feng Yu, Feiyang and Zhian.
" Yes, she's the woman who was talking to sister-in-law. She's the owner of this lantern tower," Gang Hao, Feng Yu, Fei Yang, and Zhi An pointed at the woman beside Chen Yao and said.
Lin Yixi walked over to the woman they were pointing at."Boss, may I ask if the lanterns in your shop are made by your shop?”
" Yeah, these lanterns are all made by our shop's master. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and you can't find another shop in the capital…" The owner saw Lin Yixi's clothes and knew that Lin Yixi wasn't an ordinary noble, so he blew it up.
" Okay, okay, boss, I want to ask you if you still have the paper for the lantern in this lady's hand," Lin Yixi didn't want to listen to her bragging and interrupted her.
" Young Master, you have good taste. The paper on this lantern is the best in our shop, and it's definitely unique in the capital…" The owner of the lantern shop continued to brag.
" Stop, stop, stop. I just want to know if you have more of this paper in your shop. How much do you have? I want as much as I can," Lin Yixi said impatiently.
" Young Master, I'm really sorry, we don't have this kind of paper in our shop anymore, but we have other beautiful papers in our shop. Do you want to take a look?" The owner saw that Lin Yixi was impatient and didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.
"Didn't you guys make it yourself? How can there be none?" Lin Yixi frowned.
" Young Master, you might not know this, but a girl came to our shop a few years ago to sell this paper. Our shop only takes out a little of this paper to make eight lanterns every year. This year, we'll finish the rest of the paper and make exactly ten lanterns," the boss said.
"Then do you know where that girl lives?”Lin Yixi asked hurriedly.
" I don't even know who that girl is. How would I know where she lives?" The lantern shop owner shook his head.
"Then did that girl come here to sell the lantern paper?”Lin Yixi asked.
"No," the boss shook his head.”
" Boss, do you still have the lanterns you made with these papers?" Lin Yixi said with a hint of regret.
" I'm really sorry. There were originally two left today, but unfortunately, Miss Chen Yao bought them," the lantern owner said as he pointed at the lantern in Chen Yao's hand.
" Miss Chen Yao, I wonder if you can part with your two lanterns and sell them to me, Miss Chen Yao, Miss Chen Yao," Lin Yixi said to Chen Yao. However, Chen Yao seemed to be fascinated, so she called out a few more times.
" Ah, I'm sorry, Young Master. I was thinking about something and didn't pay attention to what Young Master said," Chen Yao was mesmerized by Lin Yixi's handsomeness the moment she saw him.?
" It's okay, I wonder if Miss can part with it," Lin Yixi said as he looked at the lantern in Chen Yao's hand. Lin Yixi was a little uncertain because he could see that Chen Yao liked the lantern very much.
