Beauty and the Bodyguard

He had to work for at least three months? Lin Yi paused-it wasn't just him, the other newbies who'd heard their conversation all had worried looks on their faces as they started whispering amongst themselves.

Three months was neither long nor short. For cultivators with long lifespans, even if three months passed in vain without any gains, it was not a big deal. But for the newcomers present, the meaning of three months was completely different!

Don't forget, if they wanted to enter the GreenCloud Pavilion to further improve their strength, they had to reach the foundation establishment stage within a year. Three months was already a quarter of a year!

Once they signed the contract, it would mean that their cultivation progress would be slower than new miners like Xiao ran in the next three months. After all, even if the spiritual energy in the spirit jade mine was naturally rich, they would not be able to concentrate on their cultivation, and the effect would be greatly reduced.

But then again, if they could earn enough spiritual Jade in the next three months, they would not suffer any losses, because this would lay a good foundation for the next nine months of cultivation. By then, the cultivation effect would definitely be much better than Xiao ran and the others, and it was entirely possible for them to catch up from behind! As long as they could successfully reach the foundation establishment stage, they would be the victors!

At the end of the day, signing the mining contract was a gamble. If they could mine enough spiritual Jade in the next three months, they would win! If the amount of spiritual Jade harvested was too little, or even nothing in the end, it would be a loss, a big loss!

However, if this gamble could be considered a win or lose for the other newbies, then for Lin Yi, who was about to be assigned to the tenth Kuangqu, he would lose without a doubt.

In three months 'time, as long as the others were a little more diligent, they might be able to earn seven or eight pieces of spiritual Jade if they were lucky. Even if they were unlucky, they could at least earn four or five pieces. But in the tenth Kuangqu, which was known to be a Dead Mine, Lin Yi might not even be able to earn a single spiritual Jade after three months.

In fact, according to his past experience, in the tenth Kuangqu area, not to mention good jades full of spiritual energy, even useless jades with thin spiritual energy were rare. It was simply a fool's dream to get 100 pieces of good jades in exchange for a reward.

If it were anyone else who had heard this situation, they would have wisely chosen to retreat. It was better to be a coward than to waste three months of precious cultivation time. At this time, if they still braced themselves to fight, they would simply be stupid!

However, Lin Yi didn't have any intention of backing down. He didn't come for the reward in the first place. Since the number ten dead Kuangqu area had a scarce amount of spiritual Jade, it was likely that the supervision wouldn't be as strict as the other mines, which would make it easier for him to tamper with the mines. In other words, Lin Yi only wanted useless Jade to have the Jade space. It'd be troublesome if he had to trade it for a good Kuangqu with high production of spiritual Jade and get monitored!

But the bitter senior obviously didn't know Lin Yi's plan. He saw that Lin Yi's face was still relaxed and natural, and couldn't help but stomp his feet in panic. Lin Yi was one of the few people who respected him from the bottom of his heart, and the bitter senior didn't want him to lose out, especially this kind of obvious loss!

He tried a few more words of advice, but Lin Yi didn't change his mind. In the end, Shixiong gritted his teeth and walked towards the two.

Seeing his senior brother squeeze his way over, Meng jueguang looked at him in surprise. In the past few years, he had gotten used to seeing his senior brother's submissive appearance, but he had never seen such a determined expression on his senior brother's face. He could even sense a bit of momentum.

This good-for-nothing actually had an imposing aura? Meng jueguang couldn't help but be amused by this strange thought. He pursed his lips and said,"Poor Junior Brother, what are you doing?"

To his surprise, his senior brother didn't answer him as respectfully as he usually did. He didn't even look at him. Instead, he said to Dai Wuchang,""Please give me a contract for the seventh Kuangqu on behalf of senior brother!"

"Oh? Could it be that this poor Junior Brother also had to go to the mine to collect Jade? Don't tell me that the rules of the welcoming new pavilion have changed, and you, as the managers, can actually take private jobs?" Dai Wuchang looked at his miserable senior brother with a strange expression.

In order to prevent these senior brothers from neglecting their proper duties and neglecting their duty of teaching new disciples, the welcoming new pavilion had clearly stipulated that they were not allowed to take any private work. After all, they already had a high monthly salary, which was enough for their daily cultivation expenses. It was fine if he only wanted to supervise and maintain the order of the new disciples in the GreenCloud Pavilion. However, if he wanted to mine the ores personally, that was not possible.

"No, I'm here to ask for this contract for Junior Brother Lin. According to the rules, any manager has the right to arrange a contract for a new member. There shouldn't be any problem with me doing this, right?"

Under Meng jueguang's intense gaze, the bitter-faced senior brother finally bit the bullet and said these words. This was the first time in many years that he had publicly disobeyed Meng jueguang's intentions.

"Oh? "That's right, but ..." Dai Wuchang was taken aback and turned to look at the gloomy Meng jueguang. Although in theory, Meng jueguang had the power to do so, he had always been the one calling the shots all these years. What right did he have to speak?

"As for Lin Yi's arrangements, I've already decided on it. The contract for the tenth Kuangqu was prepared for him, so you don't have to do anything unnecessary, Junior Brother." Meng jueguang coldly looked at his miserable senior brother. Although he was extremely angry in his heart, the other party was still a Senior Steward of the same level as him. He couldn't directly flip out like he did when facing a newcomer.

"The 10th Kuangqu is publicly acknowledged as a dead mining area. As the welcoming new pavilion's manager and senior brother manager, I have to be responsible for the cultivation of the newcomers. I, I think this will be detrimental to Junior Brother Lin's future cultivation!" The miserable senior brother stammered.

In the face of Meng jueguang's many years of accumulated prestige, this was the first time his senior brother had openly argued with him. He felt a little guilty and even stuttered in his words.

Meng jueguang gritted his teeth. Although he really wanted to beat up this ten-thousand-year-old coward, he could only suppress his anger in front of so many people. After all, the words "bitter" were not without reason. At this time, not to mention making a move, even if he said half a word wrong, it would be said that he deliberately suppressed the newcomer. This was a very fatal stain to the senior brother in charge.

Meng jueguang gave Dai Wuchang a look. Dai Wuchang nodded in understanding and interrupted with a cold face,""Poor Junior Brother, your words are wrong. Yes, your welcoming new pavilion has its own rules, but our spirit Jade Hall also has its own arrangements. Does that mean that the 10th Kuangqu is not a mine and no one is needed to mine it?"
