Beauty and the Bodyguard

However, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the sword energy that seemed to have been wiped out by the sword energy barrier suddenly erupted again.

This time, it actually broke through the sword energy defense and landed on Lin Yi without hesitation!

boom!

The sword energy was scattered in all directions, and under the impact of the aftermath, the official shop was instantly razed to the ground.

"The strength is good."

After the aftermath dissipated, Lin Yi looked at the figure in the distance opposite him unscathed. The giant Mo Dao in his hand, which was as tall as a person, was particularly eye-catching.

That person was surprisingly the swordsman.

Zhou Xia looked at Lin Yi from a distance, with a strange look in his cold eyes, but then he suddenly realized: "No wonder a mere member of the Chen family dares to be so unscrupulous. It turns out it really has something to do with you."

Lin Yi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Looking at Dao Zhou Xia? The prince mentioned you to me. To be honest, I am really interested in you, especially after seeing You's sword."

If it weren't for the divine body carrying him, he might have been seriously injured just now.

If you look at the entire sea area, you won't be able to find many such masters who can make him suffer within a single encounter.

Zhou Xia slowly put Mo Dao on his shoulders and tilted his head: "That's embarrassing. I'm not interested in doing things for you, but I am a little interested in your head."

Lin Yi was surprised: "Someone paid for my head?"

"good."

Zhou Xia turned around and pointed at the civilians who were hiding far away: "They want to buy your head, and I have already accepted the reward, a piece of spiritual jade."

Lin Yi raised his eyelids slightly: "Is my head worth a piece of spiritual jade?"

"Isn't that too little?"

Zhou Xia shrugged: "Sorry, you have the final say on how much your head is worth. I have the final say."

Lin Yi was silent for a moment and asked two words: "Why?"

Naturally, what he asked was not the price of a piece of spiritual jade, but why the other party stood opposite him so decisively.

He has studied and watched the deeds of Dao Zhou Xia.

Needless to say, this person's strength in the way of swordsmanship is one of the few great swordsmen in the entire sea. The key is that he is still very young, and his strength still has huge room for improvement. Almost all intelligence agencies have unanimously asserted that if one day in the future, the swordsmen can Reconstruction, then it must be this person.

If he is just powerful, he is not enough to catch Lin Yi's eyes. The real highlight of this person is his chivalry.

Chivalry and cultivator, in the eyes of most people, can be said to be two unrelated words.

Practitioners are the most realistic, scheming and intrigues, and will not hesitate to put the ugliest aspects of the world on their faces for a little so-called opportunity.

As for chivalry, this kind of word only exists in the eyes of low-level civilians, and it is naturally insulated from practitioners.

Although there are rangers everywhere in the sea, they are essentially a group of unstable factors wandering on the edge of order. They are not chivalrous, but just a group of more powerful refugees.

Ninety-nine percent of those who claim to be chivalrous are those who have ulterior motives for fame and reputation, but the sword-watching Zhou Xia in front of him is one of the very few exceptions.

At least judging from his past deeds, he really implements these two words.

Every stab he made was on the side of chivalry, without any compromise.

Such a character, even with Lin Yi's eyes, can't help but sincerely admire him. Even if you look at the entire cultivation world, let alone the sea, such pure characters are rare.

However, today we are on the opposite side.

Zhou Xia pointed at the group of terrified civilians behind him and said, "They are standing there, do you need me to continue? And the family of nine from before, aren't they all your masterpieces? Without you, what would have happened?" Such a tragedy happened?"

As he spoke, the heart-stopping anger was rapidly building up and seemed ready to explode at any moment.

Lin Yi was silent for a moment: "So if it weren't for me, there wouldn't be these tragedies?"

"I have no idea."

Zhou Xia's eyes were cold and unwavering: "Without you, they might still have tragedies like this, but since you are responsible for today, you have to pay the price!"

Obviously, he has put all the Chen family's debts on Lin Yi.

Ning Wanjun wanted to explain, but Lin Yi reached out to stop her.

Although from his point of view, it was indeed unjust to take the blame, but from the point of view of those civilians, he was indeed on the same side as the Chen family, and there was no way to clean up this fact.

To do nothing in his position would be to do evil.

Lin Yi still understands that if you want to wear the crown, you must bear the weight. How to deal with the Chen family next and how to make amends after the incident are one thing, but at this moment, taking the blame is what he must do.

Lin Yi looked at the other party: "What price?"

"Then you have to ask them."

Zhou Xia turned around and asked around the civilians who were waiting in line behind who had no idea what was going on. Even though they talked about everything, they finally came up with a unified answer, which was to give away the Life Crystal for free.

Not only for the people in front of them, but also for most civilians in the entire sea area, the Life Crystal is a big mountain weighing on their heads.

Exploitation is everywhere, and the life crystal that no one can avoid is the most serious and cruel exploitation!

However, Lin Yi shook his head: "This is impossible."

"I used to have some luck with you, thinking that you would be a little different from those royal families of the four seas who drink human blood, but now it seems that I was still wrong."

Zhou Xia's eyes flashed with disappointment: "There is no difference between you and them."

Lin Yi said: "The free ones are the most expensive. If the life crystals were made available for free, many more people would die than now. No one can afford the consequences."

"What a fallacy!"

Zhou Xia sneered: "Are you afraid that if you lose the life crystal, the best tool for ruling, you won't be able to hold on to your current position? If you are more honest, I can still think more highly of you, haha."

Lin Yi sighed softly: "I respect you for being a chivalrous and righteous person, but you have to be smart about it, otherwise it will cause great harm to others."

It's not that he doesn't want to explain to the other party the huge hidden dangers behind free products, especially with today's already tight inventory, he wants to offer free products just because everyone doesn't die fast enough.

Unfortunately, it is difficult for people who have not personally experienced this principle to understand it personally.

Zhou Xia shook his head in disappointment: "Putting your cold profit calculations with my chivalry is the greatest insult to chivalry. It seems that today you and I are destined to be left alone."

Talk fell apart.

This is not the result that Lin Yi wants to see, but at this point, there is no need to continue explaining, not to mention that he does not like to explain to others.

Since there is a misunderstanding, let it be misunderstood, it’s up to you.

"Look at the knife!"

Zhou Xia took the lead.
