Beauty and the Bodyguard

It's a pity that Lin Yi didn't intend to do this. It wasn't that he was deliberately suppressing him. On the contrary, it was actually protecting him.

Although Meng Jueguang is dead, his powerful opponents like Xu Lingchong are still there. If they know that Li Zhengming was an insider from beginning to end, Li Zhengming will inevitably be pushed to the forefront and become people like Xu Lingchong. Apart from the thorn in Hou Kuai's side, the situation is very bad.

Li Zhengming knew this very well and had no complaints. Instead, he was secretly grateful for Lin Yi's thoughtfulness. After all, this was in line with his usual low-key style.

However, being low-key doesn’t mean that you really don’t have to do anything. If you have strength, you are low-key. If you don’t have strength, you are a coward. If everyone steps on you and bullies you, you will be in constant trouble, so Li Zhengming knows it very well. If you want to keep a low profile, you must show your strength at the appropriate time and intimidate others.

Qiao Hongcai, as Lin Yi's recognized number one warrior, is a suitable opponent for Li Zhengming who wants to establish his authority.

In this battle, according to the rules of the Yingxin Pavilion, the two sides did not use weapons or ask for help from spiritual pets. It was a pure collision of hard power.

Originally, in Lin Yi's expectation, the strength of the two sides should be between equals. If they really wanted to go all out to fight each other, they would probably end up losing both sides. He was even ready to stop it immediately if something went wrong. .

In fact, it was not what Lin Yi expected at the beginning. Qiao Hongcai and Li Zhengming were evenly matched in several encounters, and no one was left behind. The duel between the two was exciting and fierce, especially for Lin Yi, a mid-level foundation builder. Even the masters were amazed after seeing it.

The innate fighting talents of these two people are destined to never be mediocre. Once the time comes, they will shine like gold from the yellow sand.

Lin Yi had long known that Li Zhengming had successfully built the foundation, so it was not surprising. However, others present had never seen Li Zhengming's true strength. They had always thought that Li Zhengming was only a heaven-level Dzogchen master. He is completely vulnerable in front of him!

But he didn't expect that Li Zhengming, a silent guy, had reached such a level of strength that he could fight Qiao Hongcai, a tough guy, back and forth, and it was inseparable.

However, this evenly matched situation did not last long. Everyone soon realized that they had made a mistake again. Li Zhengming's strength was not only on par with Qiao Hongcai, he was simply a powerful existence that was superior to Qiao Hongcai!

After a stick of incense, Li Zhengming used a peaking Sky Frost Fist to suddenly end the battle without any warning when Qiao Hongcai's Iron Cold Palm failed to follow up.

"Preemptive strike, perfect timing, great job!" Lin Yi praised sincerely, and then took the lead and started applauding, followed closely by Senior Brother Kubi, Xiao Ran and others also applauded appreciatively.

In fact, even Qiao Hongcai himself applauded unconsciously. He was completely convinced by today's defeat.

"Li Zhengming, you are indeed very strong. In the past, you were under the control of a scumbag like Meng Jueguang. From today on, no matter what other people think, I, Qiao Hongcai, regard you as my brother!" Qiao Hongcai said from the bottom of his heart! .

He was not stupid. It was obvious that Li Zhengming had been merciful just now. Otherwise, he would have been seriously injured at least at this time, and he would not be able to stand here like a normal person.

What's more, Qiao Hongcai seems careless and has no scheming at first glance, but he has his own way of recognizing people, and that is to recognize people through fists and kicks. A person's fighting style can largely tell the person's character, which is almost instinctive. Things, unlike talking, which can be said with sweet words, cannot be faked.

From the confrontation just now, he could clearly feel that although Li Zhengming was very tolerant, when it came to a head-on confrontation, his courage was definitely not inferior to anyone else's. It was obvious that Li Zhengming had an innate ability in his bones. Has strong pride.

Such a character would not be someone who likes to play tricks, nor could a mere Meng Jueguang truly conquer him. It would not be possible while he was alive, and it would be even less possible after his death. Otherwise, with Li Zhengming's strength, he should have stood up and made waves before this, instead of keeping a low profile and being a transparent person.

"Thank you!" Li Zhengming nodded heavily. Qiao Hongcai's simple words made his nose sore, and the dignified man almost cried.

Having been under Meng Jueguang's hand for so long, because he was destined not to see the light, he had gradually begun to get used to loneliness, used to facing everything around him alone, and now he was suddenly recognized by others. This feeling of being suddenly re-accepted by the light is not something that ordinary people feel. Can't feel it.

Others didn't know the reason, but Lin Yi couldn't be clear about it. He immediately walked over and patted his shoulder gently, smiled gently and said: "Thank you for your hard work, welcome back."

Li Zhengming grinned when he heard this, his smile was unnatural, and it could even be said that his smile was ugly. It was not that he had any thoughts in his heart. This was his smile from the bottom of his heart. It was just that he hadn't smiled for so long. I have forgotten how to laugh.

Looking back, during the more than half a year in Yingxin Pavilion, he not only shouldered the important task of acting as an internal agent for Lin Yi, but also faced all kinds of oppression from Meng Jueguang and Meng Tong every day. He could only endure it without resisting, so naturally he couldn't laugh.

What's more, the whole Qiushui Villa was wiped out, and he was burdened with such a blood feud. Every time he closed his eyes, he would see the powerful shadow of his enemy in the back of his mind. How could he laugh?

"You look so ugly when you smile. It looks like you have to practice more in the future, otherwise it will look like you are crying when you smile. This is too permeable." Qiao Hongcai didn't know the inside story, so he immediately made a venomous comment.

Li Zhengming suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, but he felt a little warmer in his heart. It seemed to be a good feeling to be a brother with such a simple-minded guy.

At this time, Xiao Ran walked over and smiled at Li Zhengming: "Brother Zhengming, how about you come and play with me in a few days when you have regained your energy?"

For a moment, there was no sound around. Qiao Hongcai was a militant himself, so they expected him to challenge Li Zhengming, but Xiao Ran was not such a person and would not attack easily under normal circumstances.

Qiao Hongcai had always wanted to spar with him before, but he didn't agree. Now he actually took the initiative to ask Li Zhengming to fight. Is this because he is happy, or does he have a deeper meaning?

Li Zhengming was stunned for a moment, and after looking at Xiao Ran, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, then I'll ask Brother Xiao Ran to give me some advice."
