Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Okay, I'll be here right away!" Lin Yi nodded slightly and told Li Zaoyi to be careful and to practice alchemy in seclusion before he came back, and then followed the spiritual beast master out of the side hall.

After walking for a while, the spirit beast master brought Lin Yi to the meeting hall. This was a slightly smaller hall than yesterday's hall. Lin Yi guessed that the king of spirit beasts would not be present today, so he moved from that hall to here.

Entering the meeting hall, Lin Yicai found that he was the first to arrive. There was a long oval table in the empty meeting hall. The main chair was slightly larger and more luxurious. It should be reserved for the king of spiritual beasts. Although he Even if you won't be able to attend, you still have to show respect.

There are four chairs arranged on each side. Without asking, you know that they are used for the elders of the cabinet and the outer hall. The only intriguing thing is the number. There are eight chairs. Zheng Dongsheng is also included in them. This alternate elder is not qualified. Attendance, now it seems that the situation is somewhat variable.

Lin Yi entered the hall slowly. He didn't have any thoughts because he was the first to be called. He looked around leisurely and admired some decorations. To be honest, the decoration style of the spirit beast clan is rough and bold. Look carefully. There’s not much to admire either.

After a while, the second person entered the meeting hall, and it was the alternate elder Zheng Dongsheng. Lin Yi secretly laughed. Is Zhuque Qinglong trying to tell him in this way that among the elders of the outer hall, his status is not as good as that of the alternate elder Zheng Dongsheng. ?

"Lin Yi, I heard that you are with my family Tianqing and Dongjue. Where are they now?" Zheng Dongsheng saw no one in the hall and immediately asked in a deep voice. He came to Nanzhou this time just for Zheng Dong. Jue and Zheng Tianqing did not expect to find anyone at all.

Hearing from people from the spirit beast clan that he disappeared with Lin Yi, he wanted to ask yesterday, but because the king of spirit beasts and the four elders were all there, he didn't dare to ask. Today, he finally found Lin Yi alone. Naturally, I would not miss the opportunity to get along.

"How do I know? Did you entrust me to help you take care of your child?" Lin Yi curled his lips and looked at Zheng Dongsheng with a hint of teasing.

Zheng Dongsheng hesitated slightly. He and Lin Yi were not friends to begin with. It was normal for Lin Yi not to tell him. If he told him straightforwardly, he might not believe it.

"Lin Yi, although there are some misunderstandings between us, after all, we are all from the human race. In a place controlled by spiritual beasts like Nanzhou, we should put aside our prejudices and work together to overcome the difficulties. After all, in a place controlled by spiritual beasts like Nanzhou, How we fight here is our own business, and it would be bad if we let the spirit beast clan see the joke." Zheng Dongsheng took a deep breath and lowered his voice to persuade Lin Yi. No matter how sincere this statement was, it was indeed Lin Yi's fault. Yi has some changes in this old guy.

"What you said makes sense. Human cultivators really need to be consistent with the outside world, otherwise the spirit beast clan will annex us sooner or later." Lin Yi smiled faintly and also lowered his voice. Although he hated the Zheng family, but in this situation Next, it would be very beneficial if we could get Zheng Dongsheng's help.

"Yes, Lin Yi, you are worthy of being a leader of the younger generation for having such a big-picture view!" Zheng Dongsheng extended his thumbs up and praised, carefully observed the door of the meeting hall, and when he saw no one came in, he continued in a low voice: " We need to be united in dealing with the outside world, so if you tell me the whereabouts of my brother and grandson, our Zheng family will definitely try our best to help you while we are in Nanzhou."

He really didn't know what happened to Zheng Dongjue and Zheng Tianqing after they separated from Lin Yi in the Phantom Mist Space. However, telling Zheng Dongsheng about the Phantom Mist Space was not a big deal, because Qinglong knew about the Phantom Mist Space. Therefore, if Zheng Dongsheng had the courage to ask Qinglong, he could also get the news.

Lin Yi thought in his mind and thought that it was worth telling Zheng Dongsheng to earn a favor. Unfortunately, before he could elaborate, someone else came in from outside the door.

"The two of them were trapped in a secret realm. I'll tell you in detail when I get the chance. You can come find me later." Lin Yi whispered quickly, then turned around and walked to the long oval table, choosing whatever he wanted. Sit down on the third chair from the side.

This time, the man in the black hat in the center came, followed closely by the sea beast prince Xiao Yi. The two of them met by chance outside the door. Although they were allies, they did not seem to have any warm feelings.

Lin Yi was thinking about destroying the three-party alliance of the spirit beast clan. Seeing the performance of the man in the black hat and Xiao Yi, his heart suddenly moved slightly. He felt that if the relationship between the two parties was not close enough, he might use this as an opportunity to make trouble from it!

The man in the black hat and Xiao Yi came in one after another, turning a blind eye to Zheng Dongsheng and Lin Yi who arrived first, and walked straight to the long table. The man in the black hat, without stopping, sat down on the chair next to Lin Yi and placed the first one The position was reserved for Xiao Yi.

Although the plan of the spirit beast clan is led by Suzaku, the Center also accounts for a huge share of the driving force behind it. On the contrary, the sea beast clan is just to collect some benefits. To put it bluntly, they are mercenaries, so the man in the black hat Only by making Xiao Yi happy that he didn't compete for the first place chair would he be able to better cooperate with their plan.

Xiao Yi was satisfied with this and sat down next to the man in the black hat. As the prince of the sea beast clan, Xiao Yi felt that he should be the one with the highest status here!

After Zheng Dongsheng heard Lin Yi's words, he was secretly happy. As long as he knew the news about the two of them, he would always find the person. As for what he said to Lin Yi, he would wait until he got the news and see what the situation was like before making excuses!

The three outer hall elders had already taken their seats. Zheng Dongsheng, the alternate elder, did not show any pretense and sat down on the last chair next to Lin Yi. None of the four of them were interested in talking and just waited quietly for Suzaku and others.

Because Xiao Yi, the Sea Beast Prince and the representative of the center, were present, the four elders of the cabinet did not dare to put on too much airs and soon came together. However, the two small groups of Suzaku Qinglong and White Tiger Xuanwu were distinct. Although they entered the door together, But anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that it is not all the way.

Not long after Zheng Dongsheng sat down, he saw the four elders appear and immediately stood up to greet him. He was just an alternate elder from the outer hall, and his strength was extremely low. How could he dare to be as powerful as Xiao Yi and others?

Xiao Yi and the man in the black hat sat still, just turning their heads and nodding to the four elders as a greeting. With their identities here, there was no reason to lower themselves to greet the elders of the spirit beast clan, and Lin Yi didn't even care. Smiling and maintaining etiquette already counts as giving face.

The four elders simply greeted the four people across from them and sat down each.
