Beauty and the Bodyguard
Chapter 10664
Give up the possibility of a second giant in exchange for greater strategic space.
This requires not only great wisdom, but also great courage!
Kong Shenglin suddenly said: "Do you know what you gave up?"
Everyone looked at Gu Lie.
The Gu family's consideration of voluntarily giving up the second giant is naturally not wrong, but at least for Gu Lie himself, he did make a huge sacrifice in doing so.
And such a sacrifice, even if the Gu family later tilted all family resources to him, would still be irreparable.
No matter from which angle you look at it, Gu Lie's choice today is by no means a good choice for himself.
After all, if you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth.
Kong Shenglin's words were clearly intended to sow discord between Gu Lie and the Gu family. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Gu Lie was not only powerful, but also of great value.
With Gu Lie's current loyalty to the Gu family, it was naturally impossible for him to be won over with just one word, even if the person who spoke was Kong Shenglin.
But after today, a rift will inevitably develop between Gu Lie and the Gu family. Under the guidance of caring people, it may not be long before this rift will expand into a chasm.
At that time, it's time for them to harvest.
As a result, Gu Lie grinned inexplicably: "You don't think I gave up on my own initiative, right? If I had the strength to sit down all the time, how much water would have to enter my brain before I would stand up on my own initiative?"
"..."
Everyone was speechless.
Kong Shenglin and other big guys took a closer look at his expression. Even at their level, they couldn't tell whether what this guy said was true or false.
Walking down the steps, when passing by Lin Yi, Gu Lie suddenly paused: "That position is quite fierce. Brother, don't think about it. If you carry it hard, you will die."
After saying that, Shi Shiran walked to the back and became a crowd-pleaser like a normal person.
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows slightly.
He had no interaction with Gu Lie, and this was the first time he met him today. If he had to say that he had a relationship, it was at best because of Gu Jiumu's care for him, and they were potential natural allies.
At this time, among all the candidates invited to the scene, except for the unlucky two Xi Ji Le and Nie Tianlu, only two people were left on stage.
One is Lin Yi, and the other is Yuan Kun wearing Shengxian's vest.
It is worth mentioning that from the beginning to now, the big guys above have looked back and forth over and over again, but no one has ever figured out Yuan Kun's identity.
It has to be said that at least when it comes to concealing the truth, Yuan Kun is at the level of a master. Even Lin Yi can't help but feel inferior.
"You and I are the only ones left. It seems that Brother Lin and I are quite destined."
Yuan Kun said something casually seemingly unintentionally, but in fact he was paying attention to every subtle reaction of Lin Yi.
Theoretically, no one can interfere with the lottery ceremony of Tianji Bottle, not even the top giants.
But a theory is just a theory after all.
As long as you have this idea, especially for a top boss like Gu Jiumu, it is not unimaginable to cheat on such a major occasion in full view of everyone.
Although the possibility is not high, there are only two people left now, and one of them is Lin Yi, who is almost publicly labeled as Gu Jiumu. This is hard not to make people think of it.
After all, judging from the performance of the people in front, the entire trial sitting process is very difficult. It is obvious that the people who are drawn further back have an advantage.
Because, the on-the-spot experience of the previous people can be summed up on the spot.
With empirical reference and without empirical reference, in many cases, there are two completely different results.
Yuan Kun didn't find it strange that Gu Jiumu cheated on Lin Yi's behalf. Instead, he thought it was completely normal. However, he was also left until the end, which inevitably made him suspicious.
Could it be that this is just a pure coincidence?
People like him who are extremely suspicious are naturally very sensitive to any coincidence, especially now that he is using Shengxian's vest with evil intentions, so he is naturally full of doubts when such a coincidence occurs.
However, suspicion is suspicion, at least for now, it is not a bad thing for him.
Ever since he merged with Saint Cannian, although Yuan Kun has strong confidence in his own strength, if he were to be the first to take the stage, he might be unprepared and the ship would capsize.
On the other hand, now, with the lessons learned by so many people in the past, the variables are much smaller.
"If nothing else happens, shouldn't it be my turn next?"
Yuan Kun is still testing.
Lin Yi raised his eyelids indifferently: "50% chance, it's normal for whoever's turn it is."
Yuan Kun nodded: "That's true."
At this time, a breath flew out of the Tianji bottle, and it was Yuan Kun's breath.
Yuan Kun looked at Lin Yi meaningfully, smiled, and then walked towards the steps. For a moment, the eyes of the whole audience were focused on him.
In any case, he is also a powerful figure who defeated Xi Ji Le and Nie Tianlu in public instantly. Even a group of high-ranking giants are very concerned about his every move.
Especially Xi Tulai and Nie Liangchen, Yuan Kun's threat to them is almost clearly written on their faces.
Looking at the steps in front of him, Yuan Kun chuckled and stepped up without saying anything.
Huge pressure enveloped his whole body.
However, Yuan Kun didn't seem to feel anything at all. Not to mention being directly pressed to his knees like Chu Zhengqing at the beginning, he didn't even waver in his steps and climbed up the stairs easily.
It feels like this is not a stressful test at all, but just like a sightseeing trip, relaxing and enjoyable.
Level eight! Level 16! Level 20!
He was trapped on several steps where there were the most people before, but they failed to have the slightest impact on Yuan Kun.
In the blink of an eye, he had climbed the twenty-third step and reached the tenth spot easily.
Everyone's expressions changed.
Gu Lie looked very relaxed just now, but overall, Yuan Kun was even worse than him!
Is this guy really stronger than Gu Lie?
Under the complicated gazes of the audience, Yuan Kun sat on the tenth chair with a relaxed expression and lit a stick of incense.
But this time, Yuan Kun's expression finally changed.
Although the pressure of the twenty-three steps ahead is enough to crush most people, it is not on the same level as the pressure brought by the tenth chair itself.
However, just when everyone thought that Yuan Kun would retreat like Gu Lie, Yuan Kun's expression immediately returned to calmness.
