Lin Yi, the ancient martial granduncle who'd just popped out of nowhere, was at most a hot topic, but now, he was the second most important person, after Grand Elder Chen Jiu.
People's hearts were always changing-an outsider like Lin Yi shouldn't have anything to do with the local faction, but he was about to become a flag-bearer of the local faction!
Of course, Xin Yijie had contributed a lot to this process. Not only did he drag Lu Pingan back and forth, but he also promoted Lin Yi's position and tried to draw in the higher-ups and disciples of the local factions. Otherwise, these people wouldn't have gathered so quickly-someone had to be pushing this from behind the scenes.
