It's a pity that Lin Yi didn't intend to do this. It wasn't that he was deliberately suppressing him. On the contrary, it was actually protecting him.
Although Meng Jueguang is dead, his powerful opponents like Xu Lingchong are still there. If they know that Li Zhengming was an internal collaborator from the beginning to the end, Li Zhengming will inevitably be pushed to the forefront and become people like Xu Lingchong.
Apart from the thorn in Hou Kuai's side, the situation is very bad.
Li Zhengming knew this very well and had no complaints. Instead, he was secretly grateful to Lin Yi for his thoughtfulness. After all, this was in line with his usual low-key style.
However, being low-key does not mean that you really don’t have to do anything. If you have strength, you are low-key. If you don’t have strength, you are a coward. If everyone steps on you and bullies you, it will be troublesome. So Li Zhengming knows very well
If you want to keep a low profile, you must show your strength at the appropriate time and intimidate others.
Qiao Hongcai, as Lin Yi's recognized number one hero, is a suitable opponent for Li Zhengming who wants to establish his authority.
In this battle, according to the rules of the Yingxin Pavilion, the two sides did not use weapons or ask for help from spiritual pets. It was a pure collision of hard power.
Originally, in Lin Yi's expectation, the strength of the two sides should be between equals. If they really wanted to go all out to fight each other, they would probably end up losing both sides. He was even ready to stop it immediately if anything went wrong.
.
In fact, it was not what Lin Yi expected at the beginning. Qiao Hongcai and Li Zhengming were evenly matched in several encounters, and no one fell behind. The duel between the two was exciting and fierce, especially for Lin Yi, a mid-stage foundation builder.
Even the masters were amazed when they saw it.
The innate fighting talents of these two people are destined to never be mediocre. Once the opportunity comes, they will shine like gold from the yellow sand.
Lin Yi had long known that Li Zhengming had successfully built the foundation, so it was not surprising. However, others present had never seen Li Zhengming's true strength. They had always thought that Li Zhengming was only a heaven-level Dzogchen master.
He is totally vulnerable in front of him!
But he didn't expect that Li Zhengming, a silent guy, had reached such a level of strength that he could fight Qiao Hongcai, a tough guy, back and forth, making it difficult for them to separate.
However, this even situation did not last long. Everyone soon realized that they had made a mistake again. Li Zhengming's strength was not only on par with Qiao Hongcai, he was simply a powerful existence that was superior to Qiao Hongcai!
After a stick of incense, Li Zhengming used a peaking Sky Frost Fist to suddenly end the battle without any warning when Qiao Hongcai's Iron Cold Palm failed to follow up.
"Preemptive strike, perfect timing, great job!" Lin Yi praised sincerely, and then took the lead to start applauding, followed closely by Senior Brother Kubi, Xiao Ran and others also applauded appreciatively.
Even Qiao Hongcai himself applauded unconsciously. He was completely convinced by today's defeat.
"Li Zhengming, you are indeed very strong. In the past, you were under the control of a lousy man like Meng Jueguang. From today on, no matter what other people think, I, Qiao Hongcai, regard you as my brother!" Qiao Hongcai said from the bottom of his heart.
.
He was not stupid. It was obvious that Li Zhengming had shown mercy just now. Otherwise, he would have been seriously injured at least and would not be able to stand here like a normal person.
What's more, Qiao Hongcai seems carefree and has no scheming at first glance, but he has his own way of recognizing people, which is to recognize people through fists and kicks. A person's fighting style can largely tell the person's character, which is almost instinctive.
Things, unlike talking, which can be said with sweet words, cannot be faked.
And from the confrontation just now, he could clearly feel that although Li Zhengming was very tolerant, when it came to a head-on confrontation, his courage was definitely not inferior to anyone else's. It can be seen that Li Zhengming had an innate ability in his bones.
Has strong pride.
Such a person is not someone who likes to play tricks, nor can a mere Meng Jueguang really conquer him. It is impossible when he is alive, and it is even less possible after death. Otherwise, with Li Zhengming's strength, he should have been conquered before this
Stand up and make the changes, instead of keeping a low profile and being a transparent person.
"Thank you!" Li Zhengming nodded heavily. Qiao Hongcai's simple words made his nose sore, and the dignified man almost burst into tears.
After being under Meng Jueguang's hand for so long, because he was destined not to see the light, he has gradually begun to get used to loneliness, used to facing everything around him alone, and now he is suddenly recognized by others. This feeling of being suddenly re-accepted by the light is not what most people feel.
Incomprehensible.
Others didn't know the reason, but Lin Yi couldn't be clear about it. He immediately walked over and patted his shoulder gently, smiled gently and said: "Thank you for your hard work, welcome back."
Li Zhengming grinned when he heard this, his smile was unnatural, and he could even say it was ugly. It wasn't that he had any thoughts in his heart. This was his smile from the bottom of his heart. It was just that he hadn't smiled for so long.
I have forgotten how to laugh.
Looking back, during the more than half a year in Yingxin Pavilion, he not only shouldered the heavy responsibility of acting as an internal agent for Lin Yi, but also faced all kinds of oppression from Meng Jueguang and Meng Tong every day. He could only endure it and could not resist, so naturally he couldn't laugh.
What's more, the whole Qiushui Villa was wiped out, and he was burdened with such a blood feud. Every time he closed his eyes, he would see the powerful shadow of his enemy in the back of his mind. How could he laugh?
"You look so ugly when you smile. It seems that you have to practice more in the future, otherwise it will look like you are crying when you smile. This is too intrusive." Qiao Hongcai didn't know the inside story, so he immediately made a venomous comment.
Li Zhengming suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, but he felt a little warmer in his heart. It seemed to be a good feeling to be a brother with such a simple-minded guy.
At this time, Xiao Ran walked over and smiled at Li Zhengming: "Brother Zhengming, how about you come and play with me in a few days when you have regained your energy?"
For a moment, there was no sound around. Qiao Hongcai was a militant himself, so they expected him to challenge Li Zhengming, but Xiao Ran was not such a person, and would not take action easily under normal circumstances.
Qiao Hongcai had always wanted to spar with him before, but he didn't agree, and now he took the initiative to ask Li Zhengming to fight. Is this because he is happy, or does he have a deeper meaning?
Li Zhengming was stunned for a moment, and after looking at Xiao Ran, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, then I'll ask Brother Xiao Ran to give me some advice." r1152
