In the hall, over two hundred people fell silent in an instant, all staring at Lin Yi.

After a long while, the tall and thin old man said, "Although someone else killed Ao Bai, it was only after our Green Wood Hall stormed the Kang Prince's mansion that this person took advantage of the chaos to kill Ao Bai!"

Lin Yi laughed and said, "So that's how it is!"

Hearing his laugh, everyone's face turned red.

Clearly, it was after the Green Wood Hall stormed the Kang Prince's mansion that they found Ao Bai already dead, yet the Green Wood Hall claimed the credit, which required a thick face.

Lin Yi continued, "Heh heh! If the people from other halls of the Heaven and Earth Society ask, 'Your Green Wood Hall is truly impressive this time! I wonder which brother of your hall killed Ao Bai?' It will be quite a show then!"

The over two hundred people of the Green Wood Hall were all silent. How could they answer if the brothers from other halls asked?

Everyone was a tough man, and they couldn't lie with a clear conscience.

After a while, the tall and thin old man said, "You two little eunuchs from the palace, who accidentally killed Ao Bai, must have been protected by the spirit of Brother Yin, who used you to eliminate this great villain!"

Everyone nodded and said, "Exactly, exactly! It must have been the spirit of Brother Yin protecting you!"

Lin Yi sneered, "We infiltrated the palace to kill Ao Bai. When did we become protected by the spirit of Brother Yin?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

The tall and thin old man waved his hand, signaling to let Lin Yi and Wei Xiaobao down, and asked seriously, "Little brothers, you infiltrated the palace to kill Ao Bai? Why did you want to kill him?"

Lin Yi said calmly, "Ao Bai, this villain, has done many evil deeds. Do we need a reason to kill him?"

Everyone was stunned again.

Wei Xiaobao also understood what was going on. These people were not Ao Bai's subordinates but his enemies!

He had a sudden idea and shouted, "Ao Bai, this villain, has done many evil deeds, killing countless heroes of our Han people. I, Gui Xiaobao, am sworn to be his enemy. I wish I could chop him into pieces and throw him into the pond to feed the turtles!"

He finally understood his cousin's meaning. As long as they showed their stance, they had a chance to live!

Everyone in the hall looked at each other, all feeling surprised.

The tall and thin old man asked, "Little brother, you say Ao Bai killed countless heroes. What does it have to do with you?"

Wei Xiaobao replied, "How can it not be related to me? I have a good friend who was captured and killed by Ao Bai in the palace!"

Everyone asked together, "Who, who?"

Wei Xiaobao said, "This person is very famous in the江湖, it's Mao Shiba!"

Everyone exclaimed, "Oh," showing that they had heard of him.

Someone asked, "Mao Shiba is your friend? But he didn't die. I am his friend, Jia Lao Liu."

Wei Xiaobao was also surprised and said happily, "He didn't die? That's great! You are Jia Lao Liu? You cursed the salt smugglers in Yangzhou, and Mao Shiba fought for you. I helped him too."

Jia Lao Liu scratched his head and said, "That's true."

The tall and thin old man nodded and said, "Very good! Whether these two little brothers are friends or enemies is a big deal. Lao Liu, take a few brothers and bring Mao Shiba here to identify them."

Jia Lao Liu replied, "Yes!" and turned to leave the hall.

At this moment, no one dared to be rude to Lin Yi and Wei Xiaobao. Since they were comrades in the江湖 and had killed the great villain Ao Bai, this was a big deal!

The tall and thin old man pulled over two chairs and said, "Little brothers, please sit!"

Lin Yi nodded and sat down. Honestly, once he knew this was the Heaven and Earth Society, he wasn't worried anymore.

These people were somewhat "foolishly" adorable, all believing in the cause of "overthrowing the Qing and restoring the Ming." As long as he used this, he could walk around the Heaven and Earth Society with ease.

Why say these people were "foolishly" adorable?

Wei Xiaobao also sat down without being polite, and someone brought them two bowls of noodles and two cups of tea.

Lin Yi and Wei Xiaobao, who had been busy until nightfall, were already hungry and started eating without being polite.

The tall and thin old man, who seemed to be the leader, introduced himself as "Li Lishi," and everyone called him Brother Li. He accompanied Lin Yi and Wei Xiaobao in conversation, being quite polite.

Although Brother Li was polite, Lin Yi could tell that he was probing into their background, origin, and experiences.

Lin Yi and Wei Xiaobao exchanged a glance and casually boasted a bit, cursed Ao Bai, and exaggerated the story of capturing Ao Bai.

Everyone cheered loudly!

Li Lishi sighed, "Ao Bai, known as the bravest warrior of Manchuria, was not only killed by you but also captured by you. It must have been fate!"

Everyone was experienced old hands in the江湖 and couldn't find any flaws in Lin Yi and Wei Xiaobao's story. Although their words were somewhat exaggerated and slick, the key points were clear.

After half an hour of casual talk, they suddenly heard footsteps. The hall door opened, and two big men carried a stretcher in, with Jia Lao Liu following behind, saying, "Mao Shiba is here!"

Wei Xiaobao jumped up and saw Mao Shiba lying on the stretcher, his cheeks sunken, his eyes deep-set, and his face very pale. He asked, "Are you sick?"

Mao Shiba, carried in by Jia Lao Liu, only knew that the Green Wood Hall of the Heaven and Earth Society had something important to discuss, but he didn't know what. Suddenly seeing Wei Xiaobao, he was overjoyed and shouted, "Xiaobao, you, you also escaped! That's great. I, I have been thinking about you all this time, hoping to heal and rescue you from the palace. This, this is really great!"

Hearing these words, the remaining doubts in everyone's hearts were instantly dispelled.

Since they were friends of Mao Shiba, they were comrades in the江湖!

Although Mao Shiba was not a member of the Heaven and Earth Society, he was well-known in the江湖 for his integrity and had been wanted by the Qing government in recent years, which was a well-known fact.

Since these two little eunuchs were friends of Mao Shiba, they couldn't be real eunuchs from the palace.

Everyone also saw that Mao Shiba's words were filled with genuine emotion, clearly showing a deep friendship.

Wei Xiaobao asked worriedly, "Brother Mao, you, you are injured?"

Mao Shiba sighed, "That night, when I escaped from the palace, I was almost at the palace gate when I finally encountered the guards. I fought five of them, killed two, and was cut twice myself. I barely escaped the palace gate.

More guards from the palace chased after me. I couldn't have escaped, but fortunately, friends from the Heaven and Earth Society helped me and saved my life.

Were you also rescued by friends from the Heaven and Earth Society?"

The people of the Heaven and Earth Society immediately looked embarrassed, feeling that this matter was not handled well.

At this moment, someone suddenly rushed into the hall and shouted, "The Grand Master is here!"

Everyone exclaimed, "What?"

The person said, "The Grand Master, along with the five hall leaders, is riding here. I met them on the road, and the Grand Master personally instructed me to come and inform you."

Everyone was overjoyed.

Wei Xiaobao looked puzzled, who was the Grand Master?

Mao Shiba looked excited.

Lin Yi's eyes also lit up. The Grand Master of the Heaven and Earth Society, Chen Jinnan, was here?

As the saying goes, if you don't know Chen Jinnan, reading all the books in the world is in vain! Hmm... even being a hero is in vain!
