Beauty and the Bodyguard

"How sure are you?"

Lin Yi couldn't help but be curious.

Han Qi glanced at him: "How can you be sure of this? If you can get it, you will make a profit. If you can't get it, you won't lose anyway. If you don't go whoring, you won't get it. Try it?"

"..."

Lin Yi was speechless and refreshed the definition of free prostitution. Seeing this guy's eagerness to give it a try, he could only reply noncommittally: "Let's see first before talking."

The box opens.

It was empty inside.

Ji Chi, who was still waiting for Lin Yi's wonderful expression, was stunned. He checked it carefully again without believing anything evil. There was no interlayer, no cover-up, just an empty box.

Not only him, but also Han Qi was shocked and had a suspicious look on his face: "Did you steal the Perfect Stone for yourself? Did you deliberately come to us to make a fool of yourself and tease us?"

"I……"

Ji Chi really wanted to reply that I am just playing tricks on you, but the problem is, it's really not the case!

Even at his level, rough stones in the perfect quality domain are vital strategic resources. If the attributes are suitable, he can use them himself. Even if the attributes are not suitable, he can trade them with others and give them as gifts. Their value is immeasurable!

If he really had to throw away a perfect rough stone for nothing, he would be depressed for at least a year.

"If you can't explain clearly, this matter won't be over!"

Han Qi rolled up his sleeves, his face showing that he would not give up, and Lin Yi next to him was also filled with indignation.

In any case, this box should have been his, but now it has become an empty box. Whether it was stolen by Ji Chi, or it was originally an empty box, anyway, a perfect rough stone was lost today.

"It's not over yet? Are you going to bite me to death?"

Ji Chi glanced at Han Qi and Lin Yi coldly, and the good mood of making a great achievement was completely ruined, and walked away with a livid face.

This time today, he suffered a huge loss from both inside and outside out!

Not only was the empty box a mistake, but the key was that Han Qi and the elusive ANBU under his command made him completely lose the opportunity to take over the warehouse.

Just imagine that even Chen Beishan can get two high-grade rough stones. If no one does anything bad, how much profit can Ji Chi, the boss, get?

It's a rare opportunity to make a fortune. Now, there's nothing left.

"There's something wrong with this kid."

Han Qi, who had lost control of his emotions just now, immediately regained his composure as soon as Ji Chi left. The speed of his career change really opened Lin Yi's eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"With his usual pissiness, there is no way he would have suffered such a big loss for nothing. Even if he didn't break up with me directly, there would be at least a hundred ways to make me feel uncomfortable. So he just leaves? It doesn't make sense."

Han Qi pinched his chin and shook his head.

Although he is as fierce as an animal in every aspect, holding the ANBU is like holding the sword of Shang Fang. Only others suffer from him, but in the end Ji Chi is the leader of the Fengji Association. No matter how special his ANBU is, he is not a completely independent existence after all. .

As long as Ji Chi is willing to pay the price, there are still a hundred ways to defeat him.

Lin Yi was silent for a moment, and then nodded thoughtfully: "When something goes wrong, there will be a monster. You have to be careful next time."

"Heh, it's not clear who should be careful."

Han Qi chuckled lightly, glanced around, and suddenly sent a message to Lin Yi with his spiritual consciousness: "You guys can do it, you almost deceived me. You really have something."

"What's the meaning?"

Lin Yi looked confused.

"Pretend! Keep pretending! Do you think I don't know what's going on with your kid's practice of stealing bells?"

Han Qi raised his eyebrows meaningfully and exclaimed: "It's really not easy. The magic of stealing bells is not something that ordinary people can master. You kid actually mastered it. Lian Ji Chi's level All the masters can fool it, it’s amazing.”

Lin Yi still looked confused: "What on earth are you talking about? What does this have to do with the bell-stealing technique? I didn't even have time to use it."

"..."

Han Qi blinked his eyes and stared at his face with disbelief: "I have already transmitted my voice through my spiritual consciousness, and others can't hear or see it. Why are you still pretending? Is it interesting?"

Lin Yi was still confused.

"Okay, I'm overthinking it. If you think about it carefully, it's really impossible. You've only been practicing the bell-stealing technique for less than two months. How could you hide it from Ji Chi and me..."

Only then did Han Qi finally give up.

Based on the situation at that time, Lin Yi's situation was on the line between life and death. It would be an exaggeration to say that he could secretly take the contents of the box under the noses of Ji Chi and himself.

After all, the bell-stealing technique is not a magical technique.

Little did he know that at the same time that he finally made the decision, a perfect quality domain rough stone was quietly lying in the space of Lin Yi's jade pendant, with a wood attribute.

Although it is indeed unbelievable logically, the reality is such that it subverts the three concepts.

Relying on his slightly accomplished bell-stealing technique, Lin Yi was able to steal the sky and change the day in a blink of an eye. Not to mention other people, even he himself found it unbelievable when he succeeded.

In the final analysis, anything that can be called a strange technique is always difficult to understand.

But having said that, if he hadn't spent all his energy on the bell-stealing technique, Lin Yi's strength wouldn't have shriveled up like that under Ji Chi's hands. He couldn't beat him, but if all his cards were revealed, who would win? Still unknown.

Back in the main hall, Tian Xiangyang had already finished eating and stood up. When he saw Lin Yi, he smiled and said: "From now on, the stalls at the Black Dragon Club will be left to you to learn from. Do you have any ideas?"

"I?"

Lin Yi was stunned: "I'm just a newcomer who has just taken the tenth seat. Is it useful to ask me about such a big thing?"

Tian Xiangyang smiled: "Why is it useless? Each of the ten seats has the same voting rights. Your vote may determine the final direction?"

Lin Yi was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "At this time, is it really okay to throw such a big piece of meat to the academy?"

In the field of raw stone mining, especially the Black Dragon Club controls a complete industrial chain. The benefits here are too great, enough to make anyone and any force jealous!

Huge profits make people crazy, especially with the current situation of clear factions among the ten seats. It is simply unimaginable what the fight will be like.

This is equivalent to throwing a fire directly on the powder keg!

Tian Xiangyang looked at him and said with a half-smile, "You don't think I want two peaches to kill three soldiers, do you?"

In a word, the atmosphere in the entire hall was wrong.

Tiansi remained silent, and even Han Qi stared and dared not speak. As for the others, except for Ji Chi who led people to clean the battlefield, they were not qualified to stand here at all.

A leader is a leader after all. If you say something wrong at this time, even if you don't lose your reputation immediately, at least your future career in the academy will not be so easy.

"That's not the case."

Lin Yi didn't seem to feel the pressure at all.

But if you look a little more conspiracy-minded, the idea that two peaches kill three scholars is not completely untenable. In name, the entire academic society is indeed under Tian Xiangyang's account, but the name is one thing, and the reality is another.

With such a huge power in the Academic Council, who wouldn’t want to have complete control over it?
