Beauty and the Bodyguard

Judging from the entire planning and layout, the person behind the scenes may be Emperor Zhou or other big shots behind the scenes, but it cannot be Xiao Mang himself.

After all, he is the target, the most passive one in the overall situation.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you."

Xiao Mang showed a meaningful smile: "If it weren't for the incident you made, which forced me to have no way out, I might never have been able to take this step."

"But now, the boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains. Thanks to you, I have seen a new world!"

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes.

This current Grand Tutor is truly a completely different person from before.

Xiao Mang leisurely sat back on the Grand Master's chair and stretched out his hands: "No more gossip, let's finish the business first and read out the emperor's edict. Although this thing is useless, you must still be lucky and don't read it. I’m afraid I won’t give up for a while.”

"presumptuous!"

Wang Feng immediately shouted angrily: "As a tutor, you dare to be disrespectful to the emperor. Do you know your guilt, Xiao Mang?"

However, Xiao Mang just moved a finger: "Noisy."

Wang Feng, as the deputy commander of the imperial guard and a powerful man with royal power with a combat power of 300 plus, actually flew away without saying a word.

The whole place was dead silent.

Especially Wang Feng's personal followers were collectively stunned.

No one knows Wang Feng's strength better than them. Although he cannot compare with Wu Wudi, who has explosive combat power, he is definitely not a parallel import of combat power.

Even among the powerful men with lower royal power, they are definitely among those who can fight.

On the other hand, Xiao Mang, although he was one of the three princes of the dynasty, was not outstanding in terms of his strength.

After all, he has always been labeled as a moral model.

Moral role models have nothing to do with being able to fight, at least in ordinary people's perception.

Even if he hides his strength, he will never be so exaggerated.

It's impossible for someone to suddenly rise from an ordinary existence to become a top king with power in just a few days, right?

What happened to him?

Lin Yi was also secretly shocked.

He had expected Xiao Mang's change, but the extent of the other party's change was still beyond his expectation.

Several of Wang Feng's followers immediately took action.

They are the best friends promoted by Wang Feng. No matter what, they must advance and retreat with Wang Feng.

As a result, Lin Yi stopped him with a look.

One of them was dissatisfied and tried to get past Lin Yi and forcefully attack, but Lin Yi casually held him down with one hand.

Everyone was shocked again.

Just one Xiao Mang is enough to subvert cognition. How come this newcomer who has just emerged in the inner court has such terrifying strength?

You must know that the person who was held down by Lin Yi with one hand is not a weakling. He is the strongest among them. His strength has reached the threshold of the powerful king. Normally, even if he fights with Wang Feng, he can The fight was back and forth.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yi didn't even have a chance to exert force.

How wide is the strength gap between the two sides?

For a moment, the eyes of the few followers who looked at Lin Yi changed, and they all looked in silent awe.

Respecting the strong is a cultivator's instinct.

They can look down on Lin Yi's status, and they can sneer at Lin Yi for being a lucky minister, but when faced with real strength, they have nothing to say.

You must obey what you have to obey.

Opposite me, Xiao Mang also showed a bit of surprise, and commented condescendingly: "Your strength is a bit stronger than I expected. No wonder the emperor would like you and choose between you and Wang Feng, a bunch of trash. I will choose you too."

"Then I have to thank Taifu Xiao for his high opinion."

Lin Yi curled his lips, then took out the emperor's edict and read it seriously: "Master Xiao Mang has accepted the order."

Xiao Mang sat carelessly on the Grand Master's chair, chuckled and waved his hand: "Read it, I'm listening."

Everyone looked at each other.

Emperor Zhou is a puppet emperor, and it is not uncommon for his emperor's oracles to be despised, especially when it comes to the seven princes' palaces.

But this person in front of him is a moral model and the most loyal defender of dignity and etiquette, especially in the face of the emperor. In the past, anyone who was disrespectful in the slightest would be severely scolded.

Who would have thought that such a number one figure would face the emperor's edict in such a frivolous and arrogant manner!

Even the King of Qin would not have arrogance written so plainly on his face.

Lin Yi glanced at the other party lightly, and immediately read out: "The Emperor's edict says that Taifu Xiao Mang is arrogant and rude. He bullies the Emperor from above and his subjects from below..."

The emperor's edict contained a lot of content, and it listed all the things Xiao Mang had done that were not in line with etiquette.

It can be seen that it took more than a day or two for Emperor Zhou to seduce the current imperial master.

Even Lin Yi, who was the speaker, couldn't help but secretly feel ridiculous.

To a certain extent, this pair of teachers and students really complement each other, and they are a strange pair.

"...that is to say, virtue is not worthy of its place!"

The emperor's edict came to an abrupt end.

Lin Yi squinted his eyes to measure the other party's reaction.

Normally, the incompatibility of virtue as evaluated by the emperor himself would be an absolutely devastating blow to Xiao Mang, a tutor who built his life on virtue.

After all, this is equivalent to the official conclusion. Combined with the backlash from public opinion in the past few days, no matter from which angle you look at it, it is enough to make the other party collapse in an instant.

But no.

Xiao Mang still had his legs crossed in a leisurely manner, without any sign of discomfort. His face was full of joking, and he looked at Lin Yi who was reading out the emperor's edict, as if he was watching a joke.

"Has the reading been finished?"

Xiao Mang said with a mocking look on his face: "Seeing that I didn't react violently to death on the spot, don't you feel very disappointed?"

Lin Yi looked at him for a moment and shook his head: "I'm not disappointed, but I am a little surprised."

"Accident?"

Xiao Mang laughed loudly when he heard this, pointed at Lin Yi's nose and said contemptuously: "Little floating insect, have you seen the magnificence of the world? You have never seen anything, so what qualifications do you have to say something unexpected here?"

Lin Yi did not refute, but looked at him quietly: "Have you seen it?"

Xiao Mang stood up with a stern look in his eyes: "I am the world."

Along with the words, a mysterious force quickly condensed on his body, condensing at an extremely high density all over his body, showing a layer of light gold, as if he was wearing a golden suit.

Lin Yi's eyelids twitched and he blurted out: "Moral Golden Clothes?"

Under the analysis of the will of the world, he could clearly see the profound aura coming from the golden clothes.

The essence of this breath is morality.

Morality used to unite the hearts of the world.

This time it was Xiao Mang's turn to be surprised: "I just said that you were a bug in the well, but I didn't expect that you actually have some knowledge and can recognize my moral golden coat, haha."

Lin Yi shook his head seriously: "This is not your moral golden coat."
