Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Elders, today's meeting will discuss and decide on some matters, all related to cooperation. Before it officially begins, I suggest that we vote first and give the alternate elder Zheng Dongsheng the right to participate in the vote. Do you have any opinions? " Qinglong immediately spoke and proposed to straighten Zheng Dongsheng.

Lin Yi smiled faintly. If before coming in, he didn't care at all whether Zheng Dongsheng had the right to vote, but now he is optimistic that it will work out. Maybe he can get this old guy to help at the critical moment.

"Why bring it up again when we have already agreed on something yesterday? It is already against the rules to let him attend as a witness!" Bai Hu frowned slightly and looked at Qinglong with displeasure.

"Elder Baihu's words are wrong. Since you have already attended the meeting, why should you care about one more voting right? Besides, now we are trying this voting mechanism. As long as everyone agrees, it is no problem for the alternate elder to have the right to vote!" Qinglong He shrugged, with a smile on his lips.

Baihu's face was gloomy, knowing that Qinglong was deliberately showing off their strong position in the elders' meeting, and that voting on Zheng Dongsheng's voting rights as a meeting issue was not wrong in itself, so after he snorted, No more words.

"Elder Qinglong's proposal is very good. Let's all vote. I agree that Zheng Dongsheng has the right to vote as the official outer hall elder." Suzaku said calmly and raised his right hand.

Qinglong, the initiator, was naturally not to be outdone, and immediately expressed his agreement. Xiao Yi and the man in the black hat did not take Zheng Dongsheng seriously at all, but since both Zhuque and Qinglong agreed, this favor would always be given.

As a result, four of the seven people with voting rights have agreed that it is no longer important whether Lin Yi expresses his position, so he is happy to hide himself to avoid being suspected by Suzaku Qinglong.

Baihu and Xuanwu looked at all this blankly without any expression. They seemed to have understood that the situation was not good for them, so they simply gave up their opposition.

Lin Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, and he had some understanding in his heart. In fact, the Suzaku family already had the upper hand among the seven-member elder group, and there was no need to straighten Zheng Dongsheng. He did it deliberately like this, probably to attack Bai Hu and Xuanwu, let them recognize the facts and stop any futile resistance.

"Okay, the issue of Elder Zheng Dongsheng's voting rights has been passed. Let's move on to the next issue." Suzaku curled his lips and glanced at Baihu and Xuanwu beside him, feeling very proud in his heart.

"Today we mainly discuss how to develop the Cage Sea. This is the farthest sea area from our spirit beast clan in Nanzhou. Because of the harsh environment and close to the territory of the sea beast clan, although the spiritual energy is good, the human clan does not dare to live there. This time we have reached an agreement with the Sea Beast Clan, and we can send human cultivators from other sea areas to develop the Cage Sea Area. Do you have any opinions?" Qinglong has the lowest status among the four elders in the cabinet, but he is the one who proposes every time. Thinking about it, I know that Suzaku must have deliberately arranged it behind the scenes. He was just a microphone.

"That sea area has always been controlled by our Sea Beast Clan, but we don't have high demand for the resources there and have not developed it much. It's no problem if you want to use it, but we, the Sea Beast Clan, don't know how to transport manpower. Step in and you can handle it yourself." Xiao Yi spoke lazily, with a hint of teasing in his eyes as he glanced at Hei Dou Li and Lin Yi.

Apart from Xiao Yi, three of the four outer hall elders were from the human race, so he wanted to know how these three human race felt at this time.

Talking about sending human cultivators to develop, in fact, they are enslaving human cultivators as slaves, just like the human race likes to enslave spiritual beasts as mounts and so on.

"Prince Xiao Yi, don't worry. You don't need to worry about these things. Our spirit beast clan and the center will be responsible for transporting human cultivators. The mined mineral deposits and refined elixirs will naturally be replaced with suitable ones." I'll give you a share of the resources." Qinglong smiled faintly. We have already discussed how to allocate them in advance, so there is no need to say more here.

I specially clicked this sentence to let Xiao Yi know which side he should be on at any time. This prince has an out-of-character personality and to put it bluntly, no one can guarantee when he will suddenly get into trouble.

"Elder Qinglong, what's going on with transporting human cultivators? Recruit cultivators from all sea areas and ask them to develop the Cage Sea Area?" Lin Yi is very sensitive to the plans of the spirit beast clan, especially those involving humans. It’s hard to sit back and watch.

"It's okay for Elder Lin to say so. The Congxi sea area is rich in resources. You also know that your human cultivators are very good at collecting resources, and they are good at forging weapons, refining elixirs, etc. We let human beings practice If you want to develop the sea area of ​​Cage Breathing, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." Qinglong smiled lightly and was quite polite to Lin Yi's question. After all, only Lin Yi and Li Zaoyi could refine the elixirs needed by the spirit beast clan.

It's a pity that Qinglong's answer was biased and did not answer Lin Yi's question directly. How could Lin Yi be satisfied?

"Elder Qinglong, are the human cultivators recruited free to come and go? Is the remuneration reasonable?" Lin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and he had the momentum to break the casserole and ask the question.

It's not that Lin Yi is broad-minded and likes to take the safety of human cultivators on his own. He really can't pretend not to know when he encounters it. He has to figure it out at least.

"Elder Lin Yi, you are too naive. How can Elder Qinglong take action and get reasonable remuneration and freedom of coming and going? Let me be clear, all human cultivators who are sent to the sea area will be banned. , become our slaves, not to mention the freedom of coming and going, even life and death are within the thought of Elder Qinglong." Bai Hu smiled coldly and ridiculed Qinglong mercilessly.

Anyway, the weakness of the Presbyterian Council is a foregone conclusion. It's okay to be disgusting and disgusting. Suzaku Qinglong is the limit of what he can do now.

"I object to this matter!" Lin Yi's face turned cold. Although he knew that he alone had no objection at all, this attitude must be clear!

"The objection is invalid. The development of the Congxi Sea Area has been decided for a long time, and the plan has already begun to be implemented. You, the outer church elder, will not stop it just because you object!" Suzaku glanced at Lin Yi lightly and didn't take it too seriously. superior.

As he said, things have already been started, so there is no way to give up halfway. What's more, Lin Yi is just an elder from outside the church. He talks lightly, and there is no use in talking about it.
