Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Not yet. At present, a three-person investigation team has been set up. The specific investigation methods need to be further discussed."

In any case, it is an indisputable fact that Lin Yi gave the original version of Qingyun Pingxin Jue. This alone is enough to vindicate his reputation as a master-uncle!

What's more, Beidao Qingyun Sect's development momentum has been extremely sluggish in recent years. Now that Taigu Master's uncle has returned, it is an encouraging shot in the arm for all the disciples in the sect. Even if it is just for morale considerations, Master's uncle's Identity must also be beyond doubt.

How come people like Chen Dongcheng can't understand such a simple truth!

"Haha, these people are knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger." Lin Yi understood Chen Dongcheng's intentions as soon as he heard it. For his uncle, a cheap master, the investigation team was like a sharp sword hanging above his head. What if he knew the truth? , then he is still the great uncle of the ancient master that everyone admires, but if he does not know the truth, then if this sharp sword falls, he will become a charlatan that everyone wants to beat.

Lin Yi has no doubts about the other party's ability to prove that he is a charlatan. Not to mention that he is not genuine in the first place. Even if he is really the great uncle of Beidao Qingyun Sect's Taikoo Master, Chen Dongcheng can easily identify him as a charlatan. fraud.

"What knocks the mountain and shakes the tiger?" Xin Yijie was still in the dark and did not react for a while.

"It's nothing. By the way, since you want to investigate me, shouldn't you avoid suspicion at this time?" Lin Yi looked at him and said.

"I..." Xin Yijie hesitated for a moment. He himself had no ambitions, and his strength was not outstanding among the elders of the sect. At this time, the best choice was to be honest and pretend not to be seen, but he still said: "Master Uncle, you were highly recommended by your disciples. I really didn’t expect this result in advance, and I feel really sorry..."

"There's more." Lin Yi just looked at him. He had been in contact with Xin Yijie for a long time or a short time. He knew that although this guy was mostly loyal and honest, he also had a sinister side. If nothing else, The more important reason is that even if this guy can't stand it anymore, he will probably choose to protect himself wisely instead of taking the risk to come over and tip him off.

"And... after my disciple came back, I heard about something and felt it was very strange. Maybe it has something to do with you, my uncle." Xin Yijie hesitated to speak.

"What's going on?" Lin Yi asked.

"Something happened to Master Hong." Xin Yijie said in a serious tone. Seeing that Lin Yi was indifferent, he quickly added: "When the disciple first reported your matter to the sect, there was a great dispute among the top leaders of the sect. Master Hong and There was a fierce quarrel between the two factions of Deputy Leader Chen, and Leader Hong, like his disciples, raised their hands in favor of welcoming you back to the sect. I thought that since the final conclusion was reached, it must be based on Leader Hong For the Lord, I didn’t expect that this was not the case at all.”

"Go on." Lin Yi showed a very interested expression. He didn't know that there was such an inside story. This meant that Chief Hong, whom he had never met before, should be on his side?

"I heard that in name, Head Hong was visiting the outer island sect, but in fact he had never left the North Island at all," Xin Yijie said.

"How do they know?" Lin Yi was a little doubtful. There was no customs in this place. He just rode on the flying spirit beast and went out casually. Who knows for sure whether Master Hong went out?

"Because someone had seen the body of the master's mount with his own eyes, but his mouth was silenced afterwards and the traces were erased, but some rumors still leaked out." Xin Yijie said seriously.

"You mean that Chief Hong was killed because he supported me?" Lin Yi felt that there was something wrong with this logic. Even if it was true as Xin Yijie said, Chief Hong, whom he had never met before, was on his side, but that It's more of a matter of expressing one's stance, rather than an essential issue of life and death.

Furthermore, if you want to deal with a sect leader, is that something you can do casually?

"Well, I can't say that completely, but it has something to do with it..." Xin Yijie also knew that this statement could not withstand scrutiny at all, but Chief Hong was his backstage, and the reason why he was able to become a person with experience in the secular world in the first place The reason why he is the leader is because of the strong recommendation from the leader Hong behind his back. Otherwise, how would he be able to get such a prestigious job with his mediocre strength.

Now that something has happened to Head Hong, the attitude of those high-level officials who originally only followed Head Hong has become ambiguous. When Chen Dongcheng proposed to investigate Lin Yi's identity at the elders' meeting, no one stood up to oppose it. , this itself is already very revealing!

In this kind of thing, other people can protect themselves wisely and can be a wallflower, but Xin Yijie can't do that.

He was the one who almost single-handedly welcomed Lin Yi, the great uncle of the Taikoo Master, and he was naturally labeled as being close to Lin Yi. If he followed Mingzhe to protect himself at this time, he would not only be ridiculed by the sect, but more importantly, he would greatly offend Lin Yi. Yi!

Others didn't know the depth of Lin Yi, and thought that this was a Yuan Shen body that established the Great Perfection. However, Xin Yijie knew much better. This great uncle of the Taikoo Master was far from being as simple as he appeared. He was definitely an unfathomable person. The presence!

Therefore, Xin Yijie had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to Lin Yi to inform him. He couldn't make up his mind as to what to do. He could only see if Lin Yi would come up with any good ideas.

"Now Beidao Qingyun Gate has become Chen Dongcheng's Yitang?" Lin Yi asked thoughtfully.

"Basically, right? No one dares to refute what he said in person." Xin Yijie said with a wry smile.

"It seems that the leader Hong you are talking about is somewhat incompetent." Lin Yi frowned. As a dignified leader, he should be the target of high-level followers from other sects. Normally, even if something goes wrong, at least he will be the one to follow. There must be some die-hard loyalists, but this one turned out to be good. As soon as something happened to him, all his subordinates immediately surrendered. Especially Chen Dongcheng was only a deputy leader with middle-level Jindan strength. Even a comment about his lack of ability was considered good. Okay, to put it bluntly, it just means two words: incompetent.

"Uh..." Xin Yijie felt a little ashamed and defended weakly: "Actually, we can't completely blame Master Hong for not being able to control the overall situation. The main reason is that Chen Dongcheng's background is too profound. Their Beidao Chen family has always been one of the best in Beidao. The wealthy family, when the Qingyun Sect in Beidao was in the most critical situation, relied on the Chen family to barely support it, not to mention that the Supreme Elder was the former head of the Chen family, who was the top figure in Beidao who responded to everything. Even Master Hong can’t handle it.”
