The key was that he had a heart oath. Even if he went back on his word, it might not really affect Lin Yi’s profits.
After all, the rules were bound to Lin Yi.
To some extent, Lin Yi was like the legal person of this rule, and he received more recognition from the Heavenly Dao than the House of Protectors.
On the other hand, even though his Duke Protector’s Public House controlled the operation and maintenance of the rules, it was at most a team of professional managers at the Heavenly Dao level.
It was true that legal entities bore greater responsibilities. Once something happened to the rules, the legal entity would be the first to suffer.
However, it was precisely because of this responsibility that the corresponding rights and interests behind it were more likely to be prioritized by the Heavenly Dao.

To put it simply, if Zhangsun Sheng broke his promise, he would lose the rights to the rule and benefit Lin Yi.
From this perspective, Lin Yi might even want him to break his oath.
Lord Chu snapped his fingers, and someone immediately brought over a jug of wine and pushed it in front of Zhangsun Sheng.
Zhangsun Sheng was very perceptive. He quickly stood up and helped pour the wine.
In the end, he was stopped by Lord Chu.
King Chu said meaningfully,” This is a wine of breaking a promise. Whoever drinks it will be considered to have broken the oath of their heart and will be punished by the Heavenly Dao. We can’t drink it.”
Zhangsun Sheng paused for a moment before his eyes lit up.” Your Majesty, you mean to let Lin Yi drink this wine?”
The king of Chu smiled and said nothing.
The law crisis hadn’t arrived yet, and the bet with Lin Yi hadn’t ended yet. But if he could make Lin Yi suffer before that, he would be happy to see it.
“But if Lin Yi goes back on his word, it’ll affect the rules in my house. That’ll be troublesome.” Zhangsun Sheng was happy, but worried.
Lord Chu shook his head.” My dear nephew, you can’t be overcautious when doing things. Twenty points of luck dividends are being stepped on and extorted. If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to stand it no matter what.”
“Plus, even if Lin Yi broke the deal, it doesn’t mean that the deal is off.”
(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})
“The most likely outcome is that he will still bind the rules for you and survive the disaster of the rules, but he will suffer a backlash and spit out all the luck dividends.”
Zhangsun Sheng’s eyes lit up as he made up his mind.” Thank you for your kindness, King. I’m very grateful. If it weren’t for your help, I would have been screwed by Lin Yi!”
Lord Chu smiled.” That’s easy. We’re on the same side. I won’t sit idly by and watch you get bullied by a lowly person outside.”
Zhangsun Sheng was even more grateful.
Returning from Tianyuan Building to the Duke Protector’s Mansion, Zhangsun Sheng was overwhelmed with emotions.
He already resented Lin Yi for using the opportunity to raise the price, but he was bound by the oath and didn’t dare to break the promise.
Now that Lord Chu was backing him up, and he had a top-grade item like the Promise Breaking Wine, he was instantly filled with confidence.
“Twenty points of luck, that’s all my personal luck, you’re just a beggar from another city, what right do you have to think about it?”
Zhangsun Sheng was thinking about how to make Lin Yi drink the wine when he saw a familiar woman at the door.
“Duke, you’re back.”
The woman smiled sweetly. When she showed her face, even the surrounding scenery became more beautiful.
” You’re back?” Zhangsun Sheng was stunned for a moment before he was overjoyed.” Yu Qi, you’re back?”

Ning Yuqi bowed slightly, his eyes filled with joy.
Her encounters these days were like a dream.
Now, in the blink of an eye, not only had the situation changed, but her identity had also changed.
Guan Zhengxuan had personally come forward, so she had no room to resist at all. Moreover, with her situation at that time, if she did not seize this last chance, then what awaited her would really be eternal depravity, eternal damnation.
She was now Guan Zhengxuan’s spy, and also Lin Yi’s assistant, cooperating with him unconditionally.
As for betraying Guan Zhengxuan and Lin Yi, she definitely wouldn’t dare.
Guan Zhengxuan had personally planted the Primordial Spirit Restriction, so she couldn’t even think of it. Moreover, it could block any means of primordial spirit search. At the critical moment, it would automatically activate the self-destruct sequence.
But even so, Ning Yuqi still felt fortunate to be able to return to the Inner Court alive and see Zhangsun Sheng again.
However, Zhangsun Sheng’s next reaction made her heart turn cold.
“No! How did you come back? You are now a criminal who has been exiled. If you secretly return, you will be punished and will implicate the entire Duke Protector’s estate!”
Zhangsun Sheng looked around, but he did not pull her into the Public House directly. Instead, he acted like he was doing business.
What he meant was that Ning Yuqi had snuck back on his own and had nothing to do with the Duke Protector’s Residence.
(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})
Ning Yuqi’s face stiffened, and the joy in his heart instantly faded. He forced a smile and said,” You’ve misunderstood, Duke. I didn’t sneak back. I was pardoned by His Majesty.”
“Really?” Zhangsun Sheng was skeptical.
“If there was no amnesty, I wouldn’t have been able to pass the certification and protection of the Inner Court.” Ning Yuqi smiled bitterly.
Ever since the Summer Nest incident in the Heavenly Gates, the Inner Court had become extremely strict in monitoring the movement of people, especially for people like her who were on the blacklist. It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens to sneak into the Inner Court on her own.
“That’s true.”
Only then did Zhangsun Sheng feel relieved. He immediately brought her into the Public House.
Not to mention anything else, at least he was very fond of Ning Yuqi’s beautiful appearance.
“You’ve really caused a great deal of trouble for the Duke Protector’s Residence this time,” Zhangsun Sheng said as he entered.
“I didn’t do my job properly and implicated the Duke.”
Ning Yuqi’s expression turned bitter.
Although her methods were crude and she had shot herself in the foot, she was still working for the Duke Protector’s Residence.
As her newlywed husband, not only did the other party not comfort her, but he also complained. It really made her feel a little disappointed.

In fact, when she was in trouble, the actions of the Duke Protector’s Estate were not to protect her, but to shirk responsibility. She didn’t need to ask to know this.
After all, it was a high and mighty Public House. If they really had the intention to help her, how could they have been exiled just like that?
“Why would the Emperor suddenly grant you amnesty?” Zhangsun Sheng suddenly asked.
Ning Yuqi’s beauty was indeed well-known, but it was unrealistic to say that even the emperor knew about it and would be lenient.
“I think Lin Yi said something in front of Tian Zi.”
Ning Yuqi said carefully.
“It’s him?” Zhangsun Sheng’s eyelids twitched. Why would he plead for you?”
Before Ning Yuqi could answer, he already had an answer.
