Beauty and the Bodyguard

The whole audience was silent.

The commander-in-chief was stunned on the spot.

On the surface, he looked rough, but in fact he was also a very wealthy person, but he never expected that he would make such a sudden turn of events.

It's fine if the other party doesn't take the opportunity to win over him. If he does this in public, it will make him, the commander-in-chief, unable to step down. It is equivalent to openly defeating him. Isn't this a deliberate enmity?

What on earth is this boss thinking...

Not only was the commander-in-chief caught off guard, but even the top five leaders couldn't help but look at each other. They had anticipated various possibilities, but not this one.

There was such a big rift between them, and the high priest actually showed his favor to Lin Yi in person. How could this be possible?

Regardless of the old man's appearance as a kind-hearted elder, he seems to make people feel like they are at peace no matter where they are, but in fact, in terms of ruthlessness and viciousness, this man is definitely the one who stands at the top of the entire sea.

If Zhang Xiangding and Lu Yangzhong had not been killed, Lin Yi might still have been attracted by his overtures.

But now, the two sides have long been incompatible with each other, and there is no room for maneuver. Even if the high priest himself doesn't care, the rest of the priest family will not be able to care about it.

What's more, even if he really takes the initiative to show his kindness, it's still unclear whether Lin Yi has the guts to accept it.

You just killed two of someone else's cronies, and they actually greeted you with a smile. Who else would you think of it?

Once again becoming the focus of the audience, Lin Yi smiled leisurely: "Sure enough, the high priest is the one who understands Lord Poseidon best, and it makes people convinced, so I would rather obey his orders than respect him."

"King Jinhai, thank you. I haven't seen an outstanding young man like you for a long time. I wonder if you can go to my priest's hall and let's sit down and have a chat."

The high priest's words once again surprised everyone.

Although this person is approachable, I have never heard of him taking the initiative to invite anyone. Lin Yi is just a newly promoted offshore king, but he actually has such dignity?

"Be careful of fraud."

Mrs. Qing quickly took the initiative to send a message to Lin Yi's spiritual consciousness.

After today, everyone will realize the value of Lin Yi. Winning over Lin Yi is also his established strategy, and he must not make any mistakes.

If Lin Yi really loses control and joins the high priest, then their next situation will be difficult.

Lin Yi looked at her and replied calmly: "I know what's going on."

"Then please."

The high priest turned and left without saying a word.

Lin Yi smiled and bowed his hands to the first five people, and told Hou Mohe who was waiting aside: "I will leave all the matters here to you. I will see a complete guard camp later."

"clear."

Hou Mohe was still neither humble nor arrogant, but the look he looked at Lin Yi was obviously more solemn, and he was obviously impressed by his performance just now.

Although Lin Yi's weight is far from being able to compete with the huge priests and walking families, and even cannot be compared with the weaker commanders, in the long run, he has the ability to grow into the fourth pole of Poseidon Temple. possible.

Just for this possibility alone, it was worth his bet.

Seeing Lin Yi leaving with the high priest, some worry appeared on the faces of the top five walkers.

"He shouldn't be so confused, right?"

"It's hard to say. We have experienced the old man's methods, but he has not. It wouldn't be surprising if he really falls for it."

"Actually, what I'm more curious about is why the old man suddenly acted like this. Isn't he afraid of stealing the chicken but losing the rice?"

Everyone didn't know why, and they all thought that the high priest's move must have a deeper meaning, but Lin Yi, who was the person involved, knew that there was not.

The high priest suddenly spoke for himself in public, not because he wanted to say so, but because he had to say so.

The reason is very simple. The oracle just now was issued by Li Yuanji. It was by no means an ambiguous statement about the overall situation being the most important thing. Instead, it was directly on his side.

The oracle simply said: "Replenish the offshore king's guard camp with the temple guards."

Although the high priest nominally holds the right to interpret the oracle, there is a prerequisite, and this interpretation must be able to justify itself.

Only ambiguous oracles can give him room to operate.

With such a clear message written directly on his face, he could only convey it, without any room for interpretation.

Otherwise, once everyone demands that the contents of the oracle be disclosed, the secret will be revealed instantly.

And once something like this is done in public, then he, the high priest, will be in trouble. The walking system will definitely pursue him and beat him, not giving him any chance to struggle and react.

Even within the priesthood, there will be a huge wave of opposition.

No matter how powerful the high priest is, it cannot change the most fundamental premise. Loyal faith in Poseidon is the foundation of all priests' existence.

He can hide the truth, but the premise is that the secret must not be exposed, otherwise it will definitely come back to him, and the consequences will be disastrous.

"After watching the fun, I can finally go home and sleep."

The first walker, Lang Mie, stretched his body and turned to look at the commander, who had a blank expression on his face: "You seem to be unhappy, how about we do some exercise?"

"No, no, no."

The Commander-in-Chief grinned stiffly and waved his hands repeatedly after reacting.

He had already been unlucky enough today to lose an entire temple bodyguard brigade, so how could he dare to cause trouble?

The key is that after seeing the fight between this guy and the high priest just now, he knows very well that he is no match. Fighting with such a perverted monster will definitely bring humiliation to himself.

Mrs. Qing smiled meaningfully: "The Commander-in-Chief is a sensible person, and we still appreciate what he did in the past."

The implication is that I don’t appreciate behavior like today’s.

The commander's lips twitched: "Both each other."

Today's incident was essentially a test initiated by him. He wanted to take this opportunity to test the bottom line of the high priest and the top five, trying to gain more room for maneuver for himself.

After all, big changes are coming. If you insist on sitting on the fence and being neutral like in the past, you will most likely be the first to be eliminated in the end.

So he must seek change.

It's a pity that judging from the results, it was obvious that he had hit a brick wall this time. Nowadays, the walking department and the priest department are becoming more and more fierce, and they will not leave any room for him as a third party.

The words of Lang Mie and Mrs. Qing had almost put the word warning directly on his face. If he wanted to take any action in the future, he would have to think carefully about it.

"Farewell."

Both parties tacitly bowed their hands, and then left, leaving behind Hou Moha and hundreds of bewildered temple guards, looking at each other.
