Beauty and the Bodyguard

"What the hell are these two people doing?" Lin Yi's intuition told him that these people were trying to set him up again, seeing that Meng jueguang was looking at him with ill intentions.

But thinking back, today was the public guidance day, and nothing could go past Zhao Hongbo, the elder of the GreenCloud Pavilion. Not to mention that Meng jueguang wouldn't be able to hook up with him at his level, even Xu lingchong wouldn't be able to order Zhao Hongbo to do anything, let alone frame Lin Yi.

Firstly, their strength and status were completely unequal. Even if Zhao Hongbo treated Xu lingchong differently for the sake of Xu Yuanzheng's face, it would only be limited to the courtesy of an elder. It was impossible for them to really be on equal footing, let alone lower his status to please the other party.

Secondly, the higher one's position was, the more one had to pay attention to their image. Even if Zhao Hongbo really did listen to Xu lingchong and helped him deal with Lin Yi, a newbie of the pavilion, he wouldn't dare to be too brazen. After all, if these words were to spread out, he, as the fourth elder of the GreenCloud Pavilion, would be drowned by the saliva of countless disciples of the GreenCloud Pavilion.

At that thought, Lin Yi calmed down a bit. No matter what Xu lingchong, Meng jueguang, and the others were up to, as long as he could ask the question and get the answer he wanted, everything would be fine.

What Lin Yi didn't expect was for Zhao Hongbo to point at him right away. "Who's Lin Yi?"

Lin Yi blinked, and under the surprised gazes of the new disciples, he stood up and replied,"I am Lin Yi, fourth elder."

Zhao Hongbo looked Lin Yi up and down and asked,"I heard you have a good relationship with Lu bianren?"

With the fourth elder's high and mighty status, he naturally wouldn't care about a mere third Pavilion master like Lu bianren, much less know about Lin Yi. These words were actually passed on to him through Xu lingchong's mouth, Meng Jue wanted to use this to make a fuss and punish Lin Yi.

Things were far from what he expected, but Lin Yi didn't panic. He nodded,"I wouldn't dare. I'm just helping the younger generation, Pavilion Master Lu."

"What a good" guide the younger generation "!" Zhao Hongbo snorted, and then said,"Since he's so supportive of the younger generation, why didn't he even show up on such an important day? This is really improper!"

Everyone immediately looked at each other. Zhao Hongbo, the fourth elder of the GreenCloud Pavilion, had openly criticized Lu bianren. If this matter were to spread, it would be a disaster for Lu bianren, who had already been completely marginalized by the welcoming new pavilion!

However, if one were to really talk about it, it was indeed a bit unreasonable for Lu bianren, the third Pavilion master of the welcome Pavilion, to not even appear on a day like this! If someone wanted to make a big deal out of this matter, it was not impossible for Lu bianren to be removed from his position as the third Pavilion master of the welcome Pavilion.

Lin Yi and the miserable Shixiong looked at each other helplessly. They knew instantly that Lu bianren had been scammed. It was probably by the pavilion head Hu Yunfeng, the Vice Pavilion head Feng Song, Xu lingchong, and Meng jueguang. Whether it was intentional or not, this large group of people had worked together to scam him!

Lu bianren was currently stationed at the back cliff, and there was not a single ghost within a thirty li radius. Although the public Instruction day was held every year, there had never been a fixed date. It was completely decided by the wishes of the three Pavilion elders. In other words, if Hu Yunfeng and Feng Song had not sent someone to inform him, he would not have known that today was the public Instruction day!

They didn't even know if today was the public Instruction day, and without Pavilion master Hu Yunfeng's permission, Lu bianren couldn't leave his post without permission. It was perfectly normal for him not to appear at a time like this, but he didn't expect that he'd be publicly reprimanded by Zhao Hongbo.

"If I had known, I would have sent a message to senior brother Lu yesterday!" The miserable senior brother couldn't help but blame himself.

He didn't think that Hu Yunfeng's group would go this far, not even informing Lu bianren of something as important as the public guidance day. He was also busy helping Lin Yi and the others out yesterday, so he didn't have time to make a trip down the back cliff.

However, if he had known in advance that the elder from the GreenCloud Pavilion was Zhao Hongbo, he would have warned Lu bianren no matter what, because this fourth elder was the enemy of the backer of the GreenCloud Pavilion behind him and Lu bianren. If something were to happen, it was easy to imagine that he would be targeted by Zhao Hongbo.

It was just a pity that he was just a small little manager, how could he possibly know these elders 'arrangements in advance?

The poor Shixiong only thought that Lu bianren had been scammed, but Lin Yi had thought further than him. Lin Yi had already predicted that Lu bianren's scamming was just a bait, and he would be implicated as well.

As expected, Zhao Hongbo's next sentence revealed his intentions."Since you have a good relationship with Lu bianren, then I'll have to trouble you to make a trip and call him over. Otherwise, the elders of the other two pavilions will see our GreenCloud Pavilion as a joke!"

As expected! Lin Yi couldn't help but smile coldly inside. Zhao Hongbo's words were reasonable and didn't seem to be targeting or making things difficult for him, but one had to know that today was a very rare public guidance day. If he missed it, he might never have the chance to make it up in his life.

Lu bianren was thirty miles away at the back cliff, and even if there wasn't any delay, it would take at least an hour to go back and forth. By the time Lin Yi got Lu bianren here, it was very likely that all the newbies here would have finished asking their questions.

Zhao Hongbo frowned at Lin Yi's silence.""What's wrong? You're not even willing to run an errand to call Lu bianren? Could it be that all the new disciples of the GreenCloud Pavilion are of this quality?"

"Fourth elder, this Lin Yi is a newcomer from the common world. He's always been unruly and doesn't know the rules. It's all my fault for not teaching him well. Please punish him, fourth elder!"

"So you're from the mortal world, no wonder." Although Zhao Hongbo didn't show it on his face, the dissatisfaction in his words was obvious.

The Sky Class Island Masters "attitude towards practitioners from the secular world was divided into two sides. One side was for compatibility, and the other side was for rejection. This fourth elder clearly belonged to the latter, and he was the radical side, advocating banning all practitioners from the secular world. This was also the key reason why he was at odds with Lu bianren's backer.

Zhao Hongbo turned to Meng jueguang and said,""You're Meng jueguang? I've heard Yu 'er mention you before, saying that you're very dedicated in your work. Not bad, but there are some newbies who can't be carved out of rotten wood. If necessary, we can still use some methods. After all, we can't go out and throw the face of our GreenCloud Pavilion.
