Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Yes, I will listen to fourth elder's guidance." Meng jueguang was overjoyed and hastily replied.

He'd tried so hard to get Lin Yi for the little spirit Jade just to please Zhao Yu, who was the grandson of elder Zhao Hongbo. Now it seemed that his efforts had not been in vain. If he could leave his name in the heart of the fourth elder Zhao Hongbo, it would save him a few decades of hard work in the future.

Meng jueguang accepted the praise happily and turned to Lin Yi with a frown."Junior Brother Lin Yi, what are you still standing there for? go find Pavilion Master Lu, or are you really going to make fourth elder angry?"

Lin Yi looked at him and was about to say something when the guy gritted his teeth and said,"Fourth elder, senior brother Meng, it's not that Junior Brother Lin doesn't want to call for Pavilion Master Lu, but today is a rare opportunity for him to receive public guidance. As a newcomer, he really can't miss this opportunity. Why don't you let me call for Pavilion Master Lu?"

Lin Yi looked at the guy gratefully-it was a huge risk to stand up for him at a time like this. Zhao Hongbo might just take his anger out on him, and it wasn't a joke for a small-time manager like the guy.

"And who are you?" Zhao Hongbo glanced at his miserable senior brother. He had only heard of Meng jueguang's name from his grandson Zhao Yu. Under normal circumstances, he would not pay attention to a small manager of the welcome Pavilion, let alone know the names of these people.

The miserable senior brother took a deep breath and said,""Fourth elder, disciple's name is bitter joy, and I'm also the senior martial brother in charge of the new disciples in the GreenCloud Pavilion."

"Bitter happiness? Finding joy in suffering? Heh, this name is a little interesting!" Zhao Hongbo laughed noncommittally, and then said with a righteous tone,"Since you know that you are the senior Steward, you should understand that your current task is to maintain the order of the newcomers. How can you leave your post without permission to go out and call for people? Just let this Lin Yi go!"

Zhao Hongbo thought for a while and felt that even if he agreed to Xu lingchong's request, it didn't seem right to deny Lin Yi's right to ask questions like this. It would damage his image as the fourth elder of the GreenCloud Pavilion, and so he continued, "Don't worry, I'll reserve your right to ask questions. Even if you're late, I'll make an exception and answer three questions for you."

Although Zhao Hongbo's words sounded as magnanimous as his name suggested, it must be known that the significance of the public guidance day was not only to answer his own three questions, but more importantly, to listen to the elders answer questions of others. Only by comparing could one gain insights. This was a very important lesson for newcomers, and it was even worth ten years of hard work.

Once Lin Yi agreed, it meant that he could still ask questions, but he wouldn't be able to hear the answers of the other newbies. This loss, in a sense, was even greater than the fifteen pieces of spiritual Jade that Meng jueguang had lost.

The poor guy wanted to continue, but Lin Yi stopped him. As long as he had the right to ask three questions, the rest weren't a problem.

"Thank you for your understanding, fourth elder. I will leave now." Lin Yi cupped his hands at Zhao Hongbo and left.

Hehe, Meng jueguang raised his chin at Lin Yi proudly, the mockery in his eyes obvious.

Even a thorn-covered troublemaker like Lin Yi couldn't fight back at all in front of the fourth elder. With the difference in status and strength, he could kill you with a few words and make you speechless!

Two hours later, Lu bianren and Lin Yi finally returned to the pavilion, travel-worn and weary. At this time, the three elders had finished giving guidance to the new disciples and were all gathered in the main hall, exchanging their training experiences.

Lu bianren and Lin Yi looked at each other, their hearts thumping. This scene was obviously created by someone!

Think about it, if Chu pengzhan had come to Songshan first high for an inspection, with all the school leaders, teachers, and students present, and then the only person who was late arrived in front of everyone, and even worse, this person had already been rejected by most of the school's teachers and students-what would he feel?

If it were a normal person, the only thought in their mind at this time would probably be to quickly find a hole to hide in!

But Lu bianren didn 't. His expression didn't change at all as he walked toward the three elders in the middle with his head held high.

Lin Yi praised him in his heart. Although this senior brother Lu looked as weak as his miserable senior brother, and was treated like an invisible person despite being the third Pavilion master of the welcome Pavilion, this person's bearing and courage were far beyond ordinary people.

The reason why Lu bianren looked weak was because he was constantly backing down. When one's own strength was insufficient, choosing to retreat was far more wise than choosing to fight. It also required more courage.

However, in such a critical situation, he couldn't retreat anymore. Because if he retreated now, it wouldn't be a retreat, but a retreat.

Lu bianren knew that the moment he backed down, what awaited him would be eternal damnation. Not only would he be unable to stay in the welcoming new pavilion, but he would also be unable to stay in the GreenCloud Pavilion in the future.

Thus, even if he knew that there was a storm ahead, he could only move forward with his head held high.

"Greetings to the three elders. Disciple Lu bianren has arrived late, please forgive me." Lu bianren bowed. He didn't mention any reason or excuse, only sincerely asking for forgiveness.

Smart! Lin Yi couldn't help but praise him in his heart. If Lu bianren were to go on and on about why he was late, he would be at a disadvantage. Not only would Hu Yunfeng and the others shirk all responsibility, these three high and mighty elders wouldn't even be interested in why Lu bianren was late.

In their eyes, it was Lu bianren's fault that he was absent from such an important day. If he still wanted to find an excuse, then he would be adding on to his mistake and his crime!

But now, Lu bianren didn't say anything and just sincerely admitted his mistake and asked for forgiveness. This way, even if the three elders were dissatisfied, they couldn't say anything. After all, they were only late once. If they were to hold on to this small matter, it would appear that they were too calculative and did not have enough tolerance.

In the middle, Xu Yuanzheng glanced at Zhao Hongbo, but didn't speak. After all, this Lu bianren was a member of the GreenCloud Pavilion, so it was better to let Zhao Hongbo, an internal elder, deal with him. This could also be considered giving him face.

"Forget it, answer the question first. We'll talk about Lu bianren later!" Zhao Hongbo snorted coldly and waved his hand. After all, in front of so many outsiders, he couldn't let them see him as a joke. (To be continued.)
