Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Ah?!" Xu Lingchong was dumbfounded. After looking at each other as if they were seeing ghosts, Xu Lingchong still tried to test without giving up: "Little junior sister Lan'er, are you not angry at all?"

"Angry? Why are you angry? Why should I be angry?" Shangguan Lan'er looked at him strangely, then continued to say excitedly: "It's really great, I'm going to take a look now!"

After saying that, Shangguan Lan'er dragged the little Juanjuan Xiong and walked briskly towards the Yingxin Pavilion, leaving Xu Lingchong and Meng Tong stunned, unable to close their mouths for a long time.

"Chongchong, is that Shangguan Lan'er angry? Or is she just a stupid girl?" Meng Tong couldn't help but twitching the corner of his mouth.

Looking at Shangguan Lan'er's cheerful back, it doesn't look like she's just pretending. Besides, such a spoiled young lady doesn't have that much depth of character or acting skills.

"Maybe..." Xu Lingchong was also speechless. He was stunned for a long time, then shook his head vigorously and said: "Forget it, let's forget about that silly girl for now! Brother Meng, the inner sect competition is coming soon, we two should seize the time to go back to double cultivation. Well, there are so many masters from the inner sect, and with our current strength, if we don’t cultivate a good tacit understanding, it will be difficult to shine."

"Yeah, okay, let's go back to Dual Cultivation now. This inner sect competition, we promise to be a blockbuster!" Meng Tong immediately said with high morale.

The inner sect competition was not only the perfect stage for Xu Lingchong to announce his strong comeback, but it was also an opportunity for Meng Tong, or to be precise, Meng Tong after his drastic change in temperament, to make his first appearance to the entire three major pavilions, so he couldn't afford to miss it!

After saying that, the two people immediately left hand in hand, leaving passers-by behind, looking at the two people's backs that were too close, pointing, and talking privately.

Walking lightly all the way to Lin Yi's cave, Shangguan Laner took the little Juanjuan bear and violated the cave's restrictions.

At this moment, Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao, who were still in the cave, practicing the Crazy Fire Bagua and high-fiving each other, couldn't help but glance at each other, thinking that it was Xu Lingchong who was determined to leave and return. Unexpectedly, they opened the door and saw that it was Shangguan. Lan'er.

"Senior Sister Xiaotao, you are indeed here with Junior Brother!" Shangguan Laner hugged Huang Xiaotao and said happily.

"Sure enough? Little senior sister, how did you know Xiaotao was here with me?" Lin Yi asked strangely.

"Well, I just met that annoying guy Xu Lingchong on the road. He told me that." Shangguan Laner wrinkled her nose cutely and said.

"Haha, this guy is indeed insidious enough, and he is also a bitch." Lin Yi smiled faintly. Xu Lingchong could tell at a glance what his intentions were, but judging from Shangguan Lan'er's performance at the moment, he was really looking for someone to sow discord. Wrong person.

"That's why I said he hates ghosts!" Shangguan Lan'er stuck out her tongue, then scanned the surrounding area and found traces of the raging zhenqi everywhere. She couldn't help but curiously said: "Senior Sister Xiaotao, what are you and my junior brother doing? What are you doing, fighting?"

"No, he and I are practicing together to prepare for the upcoming inner sect competition." Huang Xiaotao explained with a blushing face.

In her eyes, Shangguan Laner has always been Lin Yi's real girlfriend. Although she is the one who is bringing her and Lin Yi together, there is still a strange feeling in the current situation. Fortunately, she is wearing clothes now. , otherwise it will be even more embarrassing and shameless to see others.

"The Inner Sect Competition? Senior Sister Xiaotao, are you also going to participate in the Inner Sect Competition?" Shangguan Lan'er suddenly asked in surprise. Although she never cared about these things, she at least knew that only Golden Core disciples can participate in the Inner Sect Competition. , which is the most basic threshold.

"Yes, there is a team battle in the inner sect competition. Lin Yi lacks a partner, so he asked me to come, and he also helped me improve my strength to the golden elixir stage!" Huang Xiaotao said bluntly.

"Really? That's great!" Shangguan Lan'er has never known what scheming is, and she was sincerely happy for Huang Xiaotao, but then she was envious and excited at the same time: "My junior brother actually has such a magical ability, and can also help People improve their strength, so please help me become a master of the golden elixir stage, so that grandpa will not urge me to practice every day!"

Lin Yi couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. If he rashly helped Shangguan Lan'er improve his strength, he would definitely alarm Shangguan Tianhua, and then the secret would no longer be able to be kept. Moreover, even if he wanted to, he must at least have this condition.

"Senior Sister, if you want to become a master of the golden elixir stage, you must first prepare the golden elixir. I don't have any ready-made ones here. I have to wait until I find them later." Lin Yi could only smile and said, like Wan Dujin Dan fruit is such a rare thing, it is something that can only be encountered and cannot be obtained. Even with Shangguan Laner's status, it is not normal to have it.

"That's it. Well, we'll talk about it later. I'm not in a hurry anyway." Shangguan Laner nodded. She said this suddenly just on a whim. If Shangguan Tianhua hadn't often urged him to practice, she wouldn't have thought about improving. As for his strength, he wouldn't even want to become a golden elixir stage master.

"By the way, Senior Sister Xiaotao just said that you are practicing. What exactly are you practicing? I want to see it!" Shangguan Laner said excitedly.

Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao looked at each other and immediately continued to practice the Crazy Fire Bagua high-five. Shangguan Laner happily played the role of referee on the spot. However, this referee was not very professional and could only clap like Juan Juan Xiong. Just cheer.

……………………

After five days of preparation, the inner sect competition finally officially kicked off.

The Beidao Arena was crowded, and Lin Yi suddenly discovered that there were significantly more people present today than five days ago. The core disciples of the inner sect, plus those outer sect disciples whose strength had reached the golden elixir stage, the total number of people was estimated to be close to Two hundred people, this is nearly twice as many as what we saw before!

But after thinking about it, Lin Yi suddenly realized that it was just a routine announcement five days ago. Many senior inner disciples are already accustomed to these formalized procedures. As long as they know the rules, it doesn't matter if they don't show up.

However, today is the official start of the game. If they don't show up, they will be deemed to have abstained. This will be a big problem, even if they don't think about it.

Seeing so many masters of the Golden Core stage present, Lin Yi couldn't help but be secretly shocked. It seemed that he had underestimated the foundations of the three major pavilions in the North Island. Compared with some of the top sects in the Central Island, this kind of foundation was not only not Not bad at all, even worse!

It's just that these masters of the golden elixir stage are either performing high-level tasks outside, or simply practicing in seclusion. They rarely come out to move around, so it's hard to see them outside, so they don't have a deep impression of it.

Thinking back, if the three major pavilions did not have so many Golden Core disciples, how could Ning Xuefei have casually arranged for five Golden Core masters to protect her when she came last time?
