Beauty and the Bodyguard

The so-called consultation was just to let Suzaku and the others have free rein to see who could take the initiative. He, the king of spiritual beasts, could not actually play a big role.

The four elders also understood this, so when they looked at each other, there were faint sparks in their eyes.

"Guys, don't you want to ask my prince's opinion? Do you think that this prince is a rare person?" Xiao Yi laughed and retorted in a shameless manner.

He is a dignified prince of the sea beast clan, and he has no great interest in the outer elders of the spirit beast clan. Especially when he has to be juxtaposed with two inexplicable alchemists, this simply lowers his status as Prince Xiao Yi!

"Your Highness, the status of the outer elder of our clan may not be more noble than your current status, but this was established for closer and seamless cooperation between the two of us. If Your Highness is not interested, you can arrange for a confidant to participate. , that's okay." Qinglong smiled lightly and took over Xiao Yi's words.

"Elder Qinglong's words are quite pleasant. I am not opposed to becoming an outer elder of the spirit beast clan. It's just that the representatives of the center are our partners. That's all. What are those two human alchemists? ?How dare you be listed as the outer elder with this prince?" Xiao Yi nodded to Qinglong and smiled in a dignified manner.

"I agree with Prince Xiao Yi's point of view, but Master Lin is the alchemy elder appointed by the king. There is nothing wrong with being the elder of the outer hall alongside the prince. On the contrary, it is the royal alchemist Zheng Dongsheng. One of them overlaps with Master Lin, and the other is The king's task of refining alchemy is also very important, so the outer hall elders don't need to consider Master Zheng, right?" Xuanwu followed the stick and immediately followed Xiao Yi's words, trying to finalize the matter completely.

"In that case, let Master Zheng be an alternate outer hall elder. He will not participate in normal meetings and decisions, and will fill in when there are vacancies. It will be easier for the cabinet and the outer hall to vote if there are seven elders." Suzaku did not. Keep insisting, although Master Zheng is the person recruited by Qinglong, he is not their direct descendant after all. Even if he reluctantly becomes the elder of the outer hall, it is not certain whether he can help.

What's more, the Sea Beast Clan and the center were all supported by Suzaku. Xiao Yi and the center's people still accounted for the majority of the elders in the outer hall, and it didn't matter whether Zheng Dongsheng was present or not.

"You can be on the waiting list. Elder Suzaku, you have the final say. Then we will continue the previous topic and discuss how to better cooperate." Bai Hu waved his hand, as if giving Suzaku face.

Lin Yi perked up, hoping that this time it would not be just a formality, with everything discussed in advance like before, but that he could actually discuss something useful.

With the title of outer hall elder on his head, Lin Yi could participate in the discussion openly and honestly this time. Even if he didn't speak, he could grasp the plan of the spirit beast clan immediately.

I don’t know what the King of Spiritual Beasts is thinking. He actually appointed Lin Yi as one of the elders of the outer hall. If he were to be an ordinary spiritual beast, it would be an understatement to say that he was a liaison with both internal and external enemies.

"It's better to come here today. The king is tired after the coronation ceremony. All distinguished guests should take a rest first. We will arrange an elders meeting tomorrow to discuss the direction of cooperation." Suzaku waved his hand casually, directly ending today's meeting. .

Lin Yi was secretly disappointed, but couldn't say much.

Tomorrow is tomorrow, and he can sort out what happened today, and maybe he can find some clues that he has overlooked.

The King of Spiritual Beasts stood up and said: "I will not attend tomorrow's meeting. If there is anything I need to know, the elders will report it to me at that time. In addition, if Elder Lin Yi is free, he can come to me. The king is very interested in the elixir refined by Elder Lin.”

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Lin Yi can explain the alchemy matters to Your Majesty at any time." Lin Yi quickly smiled and clasped his fists. The King of Spiritual Beasts' protection for him can be seen by everyone, and he himself is very puzzled by this. If there is It wouldn't hurt him to have a chance to talk to the King of Spiritual Beasts alone.

"Your Majesty, you should go back and rest first. Elder Lin Yi needs to familiarize himself with the matters of the outer elders, and then prepare for tomorrow's elders meeting. There should be no way to meet the King in a short time! If the King is interested in Alchemy, he can find the Royal Alchemist. Master Zheng Dongsheng asked." Zhuque glanced at Lin Yi lightly and unceremoniously stopped the private meeting between the King of Spiritual Beasts and Lin Yi.

As a minister, it is too rude to speak to the King of Spirit Beasts like this, but the people present have long seen the true status of the King of Spirit Beasts. Everyone knows it clearly. The current Spirit Beast clan is still Suzaku. Have the greatest say.

"Okay, what Elder Suzaku said makes sense. Elder Lin, please familiarize yourself with the powers and responsibilities of the outer elders first! We will talk about it later when we have the opportunity." The King of Spiritual Beasts smiled faintly and had no reaction to Suzaku's strength.

In fact, the King of Spiritual Beasts has disobeyed Suzaku intentionally or unintentionally several times today. He also knows that he can't do anything to Suzaku for the time being. It is obviously not a good idea to really break up with him, so he can only choose to tolerate it for the time being.

"Yes! Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely find an opportunity to meet Your Majesty after I get to know you better." Lin Yi smiled slightly. Since now is not a good time, let's wait until later.

As long as you are still in the spirit beast clan, you will always have the opportunity to meet the king of spirit beasts alone and find out why he is so protective of you!

Seeing that the king of spirit beasts was about to leave, Xiao Yi and the two men in bamboo hats in the center stood up to send him off. After all, he was still the supreme ruler of the spirit beast clan. There must be no lack of etiquette, otherwise it would be detrimental to the future. cooperation will have adverse effects.

After a while, the people in the main hall dispersed. Only Lin Yi and Li Zaoyi were led by the two spirit beast guards at the door towards the side hall.

It is better to say that it is to lead the way, but it is better to say that it is to monitor, but Lin Yi doesn't care, as long as he can stay in the palace, it is a rare good opportunity.

Along the way, Lin Yi could feel vague spiritual consciousness sweeping back and forth. Obviously, he and Li Zaoyi were still the focus of monitoring by the spirit beast clan, and they were not suitable for doing anything for the time being.

"Please rest here, you two. If you need anything, you can ask people outside to do it! I just hope that you two don't walk around at will. The palace is different from other places. Without permission, it is easy to walk into some forbidden areas, and you will be killed without mercy." !" The spirit beast guard who led the way warned Lin Yi with a smile, then turned around and left.
