Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Oh, I know!" Shangguan Lan'er thought she had gotten through the test, with a look of excitement on her face. Little did she know that Shangguan Tianhua just trusted Lin Yi, so she turned a blind eye.

While Shangguan Laner was busy fooling her grandfather, Yu Zhenyang, the master of Qingyun Pavilion, came to Lin Yi's No. 1 inner gate mansion again and gently touched the restriction outside the door.

"I've met the Pavilion Master." Lin Yi hurriedly came forward to greet him. He knew that with the strength of this Pavilion Master, it would be easy to cross the restriction and sneak in quietly. The other party was just being polite. I just condescended to wait outside the door.

"No need to be polite, the appointments have been made. Wu Zhongle has been promoted to the third pavilion master of the Yingxin Pavilion, and Xiao Ran has been promoted to the senior brother in charge of the new members of the Qingyun Pavilion. This news will be officially announced tomorrow." Yu Zhenyang said with a smile.

"Great, thank you Pavilion Master for your support." Lin Yi was immediately overjoyed. These two positions are rare and promising positions for both the hard-working senior brother and Xiao Ran. As long as they develop normally, the future prospects will be bright.

"Haha, this is all right. There is one more thing. There is news from Lu Bianren." Yu Zhenyang smiled, and then his expression became a little serious and said: "He is indeed on a mission during this time. The mission The location is in the Weihu sea area near the South Island, but those who went on the mission with him have all returned, but there is no news about him, no news at all."

"What the Pavilion Master means is that only Senior Brother Lu has separated from the whole group?" Lin Yi's heart suddenly tightened, and his intuition told him that something might really have happened to Lu Bianren.

"Yes, the other people who came back don't know his whereabouts or where he went. They only said that they parted ways during the mission." Yu Zhenyang nodded.

"We parted ways midway, why?" Lin Yi frowned slightly, and then asked: "Does the Pavilion Master know what mission Brother Lu is going to perform this time?"

"The mission itself is actually irrelevant. Lin Yi, I can tell you with certainty that the reason why Lu Bianren was separated from the others this time was definitely to find Deputy Pavilion Master Yao." Yu Zhenyang concluded.

"Deputy Pavilion Master Yao?" Lin Yi was stunned again. Although he had a good relationship with Lu Bianren, he had never mentioned Deputy Pavilion Master Yao, not even Senior Brother Kubi.

"Yes, I don't treat you as an outsider, so I won't tell you those lies. This Deputy Pavilion Master Yao is Lu Bianren's biggest supporter all the time." Yu Zhenyang admitted directly: "A few years ago, Deputy Pavilion Yao The leader led the team out to perform a mission, but there was no news after that, and no one came back. The last place where they received news was in the Weihu Sea area, so Lu Bianren went there specifically this time with the purpose of finding Deputy Pavilion Master Yao, the mission is just a cover, and after passing it, you will naturally be separated from the group."

"I see." Lin Yi nodded thoughtfully. He had heard Brother Kubi mention this before, but at that time he only said that their patron went out to perform a mission and had not come back for several years. He was not so specific.

From this point of view, Lu Bianren is most likely looking for someone. He used to be the third pavilion master of Yingxin Pavilion. Although he was squeezed out, he still held an important position and could not go out to perform tasks. After resigning, he became the outer gate manager of Qingyun Pavilion. Second Senior Brother, even if his status only rises but does not fall, he has fewer constraints. Even if he disappears for a while, it doesn't matter.

"But, even if they were separated at the beginning, after the mission was over, did those people just come back on their own without waiting for Senior Brother Lu? Isn't this unreasonable?" Lin Yi asked instead.

"Obviously, I will definitely wait, but this is just a show. In fact, although Lu Bianren can be regarded as a genius disciple, he has always had smooth sailing before, but because of his personality, under Deputy Pavilion Master Yao After his backer disappeared, his life was actually not as good as he wanted." Yu Zhenyang sighed slightly.

Unlike senior disciples with average qualifications like Brother Ku, Lu Bianren really shone brightly for a while in Qingyun Pavilion, which had always been short of talents. Otherwise, he would not have left an impression on him as the pavilion master. It is a pity that because of the disappearance of Deputy Pavilion Master Yao, Lu Bianren was like an eagle with broken wings, and he has been unknown to everyone since then.

"Senior Brother Lu was indeed unsatisfied when he was in Yingxin Pavilion. I know this, but wasn't he later promoted to the second senior brother in charge of the outer sect of Qingyun Pavilion?" Lin Yi couldn't help but wonder.

"Haha, in terms of position alone, this is indeed a promotion. But firstly, he has no backing, and secondly, he is not smooth and shrewd enough. In fact, he cannot hold the position of the second senior brother in charge of the outer sect at all. According to me It is known that he has not had any substantial control over the power since he took office, and was directly ignored by the senior brother in charge of the outer sect." Yu Zhenyang said with a hint of regret.

"That's it..." Lin Yi had already reminded Lu Bianren to pay attention to this situation before he took office, so he didn't look surprised, but said: "But this kind of situation where one family dominates Qingyun is very difficult for Qingyun." The long-term development of the cabinet is not a good thing, right? Will the senior management not interfere at all and not ask questions at all?"

"Although it is true to say so, it has been a long-standing agreement that senior officials will not interfere in the competition of the disciples below. No one will break the rules rashly. After all, this is also a reflection of personal ability." Yu Zhenyang shook his head. road.

"Disciple knows, thank you Pavilion Master for informing me." Lin Yi did not dwell on the matter and immediately nodded and thanked him.

"Nothing, it's a trivial matter." Yu Zhenyang said with a smile.

After seeing him off in Zhenyang, Lin Yi immediately went to Yingxin Pavilion to find Senior Brother Kupi and told him about the matter. After all, when it came to his relationship with Lu Bianren, Senior Brother Kupi was even closer.

"Alas, first it's Deputy Pavilion Master Yao, and now it's Senior Brother Lu, but I can't help at all. What should I do?" Senior Brother Kubi couldn't help but sigh deeply after hearing this.

"There is no other way. We can only wait and see what happens now. I hope they will have their own destiny." Lin Yi said helplessly. Although he knew the cause, there was still no news after all. Even if he wanted to help, it was of no avail.

"After all, it's all my fault for being so useless. If I had been stronger before, I could have gone with Senior Brother Lu, so that we could always take care of each other. It's better than standing by and watching now, ugh..." Kubi The senior brother blamed himself.

"Brother Ku, you don't have to blame yourself so much. Although I have never met Deputy Pavilion Master Yao, I know that Senior Brother Lu is by no means an ordinary person. An accident will not happen so easily. Maybe there is something hidden in it." Lin Yi comforted him, then changed the subject and said, "By the way, besides this, there is another good news to tell you. The position of the third pavilion master of Yingxin Pavilion has been determined to fall on you. , you have to be mentally prepared for tomorrow."
