Beauty and the Bodyguard

Lin Yi was about to enter the venue when he suddenly sensed a domineering aura behind him. He turned around and saw that the person he saw was the current head of the Law Enforcement Hall, Gong Yangjie, whom he had met once.

In such a gathering of dignitaries, most people would consciously restrain their momentum to avoid accidentally arousing the dissatisfaction of a certain big boss and causing unnecessary trouble. However, the young strongman in front of him, who is the most vocal among the three major pavilions, But he had no such intention at all. He just went his own way and ignored others.

However, even though he was so unrestrained, no one around him was dissatisfied, and even took the initiative to nod to him, including even the elders of the three major pavilions.

Lin Yi couldn't help but feel awe in his heart. He broke the rules with one person and made everyone around him take it for granted without any gossip. You can imagine how much strength and confidence is needed behind this. This Gong Yangjie is really extraordinary.

Along the way, wherever Gong Yangjie passed, everyone moved out of the way, not having the guts to block in front of him until it was Lin Yi's turn.

Even if he didn't look back, Lin Yi could clearly feel that the extremely domineering aura was right behind him, only one step away.

For a moment, all eyes in the audience were focused on Lin Yi.

"Who is this man? He looks unfamiliar. I haven't seen him before. Could he be the nephew of an elder who recently took over?" Someone in the crowd whispered.

Those who are qualified to attend Miss Shangguan's birthday party must be from a powerful background. It is only normal for them to make such assumptions.

"Hey, no matter whose young master this person is, if he dares to block the way in front of the Gongyang Hall Master, I can only tell him that the ignorant are fearless!"

"Yes, this person probably doesn't even recognize the master of Gongyang Hall, and doesn't know the taboos involved. How pitiful!"

"Wherever I go, no one can stop me. This is what Mr. Gongyang said himself. Even the senior leaders of the Presbyterian Church will deliberately cooperate. This kid is so ignorant, he will be in bad luck today."

Everyone on the sidelines was gloating about the misfortune, and everyone looked like they were watching a good show.

With Lin Yi's keen perception, although these comments deliberately lowered his voice, they still could not escape his ears and eyes. In a place like this, it is really unwise to offend a tyrannical person like Gong Yangjie for such an inexplicable matter.

However, just when Lin Yi was about to step aside like the others, Xu Lingchong suddenly spoke: "Hey, isn't this the strongest newcomer in the history of Qingyun Pavilion? Lin Yi, you are willing to show your face to attend the birthday party, but It’s really an honor for Junior Sister Lan’er and I, come on, come on, please come in!”

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar, and even Gong Yangjie behind Lin Yi stopped in his tracks.

"The most powerful newcomer in the history of Qingyun Pavilion, isn't that the Divine Pill Doctor? When will it be the turn of this bullshit Lin Yi?"

"Yes, but I heard people say that this Lin Yi seems to be from the secular world like Master Zhang Liju, and he seems to be making waves in the Yingxin Pavilion, and his voice is not low."

"That's nonsense. He's just a grassroots newcomer, but he has a little bit of ability that can't stand on the stage. He's paralyzed and arrogant! He thinks he can become the next Master Zhang by stepping on a few piles of shit. This has happened in tens of thousands of years. How can one get such a thing in his turn?"

Just because of Xu Lingchong's words, everyone was talking one after another, and Lin Yi was instantly put on the stake. Not only did he become the target of public criticism, but he was also in a dilemma.

This guy has really sinister intentions! Lin Yi couldn't help but take a deep look at Xu Lingchong. The intention of the other person's sudden words was obvious.

No matter how bad everyone around them is, they are all disciples of the Chongtian Pavilion. They are all people with backgrounds. And even they may not be qualified to attend Miss Shangguan's birthday party. However, they suddenly learn that Lin Yi, a mere grassroots newcomer, can Go in, it would be strange if you don't become the target of public criticism!

In addition to being talked about and despised by others, there is another more fatal problem facing Lin Yi at this moment, Gong Yangjie behind him.

Originally, if Xu Lingchong had not said this, Lin Yi would have just stepped aside. After all, the same was true for everyone else, but after Xu Lingchong said this openly and sarcastically, the nature was completely different.

Choosing to retreat at this time is not a trivial matter, but can only be interpreted as one meaning. In front of Gong Yangjie, in full view of everyone, Lin Yi took the initiative to give in.

Lin Yi didn't care, but he came here because of Shangguan Lan'er. If he gave in, Shangguan Lan'er might not look good, so Lin Yi was in a dilemma!

However, if he does not retreat, he is likely to offend the high-ranking law enforcement leader behind him, Gong Yangjie.

After all, he once swore that "no one can stop me wherever I go." Just looking at his indomitable spirit now, you can see what kind of Taoism he has. Even the senior officials of the Three Pavilions Presbyterian Council have to tolerate him for three days. Not to mention Lin Yi, a mere grassroots newcomer?

If he doesn't retreat, he will offend Gong Yangjie. If he retreats, he may make Shangguan Laner look bad. This is Lin Yi's current situation.

Today's birthday party is indeed a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, and we encountered such difficulties right from the beginning!

Under the attention of everyone, Lin Yi suddenly moved, but what made everyone in the room an uproar was that he actually had the courage not to retreat. Instead, he walked straight to Xu Lingchong and others, took out the invitation letter and said lightly: "Young Master Xu, Can I go in now?"

"Huh?" Xu Lingchong was stunned. He never thought that Lin Yi would react like this, or in other words, he never thought that Lin Yi would be so bold.

Putting himself in his shoes, Mr. Xu, who has a profound background, would never dare to stand in front of Gong Yangjie. He just said this just because he wanted Lin Yi to make a fool of himself, but he didn't expect it. This guy was so stupid that he made the stupidest choice possible. He was so stupid that people were overjoyed.

Faced with such unexpected joy, Xu Lingchong naturally wanted it. He looked at Lou Tianyou and Kang Zhaoming beside him, and then secretly glanced at Gong Yangjie's face.

Then, Xu Lingchong immediately changed his expression and said seriously: "Young Master Lin, wait a minute. It is your first time to attend such a high-end banquet. It is understandable that you are anxious, but our three pavilions have always paid attention to the order of hierarchy. As a Qingyun, Newbie in the pavilion, no one has taught you this, right? Behind you is Hall Master Gongyang. Do you think you can walk in front of Hall Master Gongyang just because you are praised as the strongest newcomer? Are you a little ignorant of the heights of the world?"
