Beauty and the Bodyguard

According to common sense, he had just been thrown down from the second floor. Even an ordinary person would not be so miserable, let alone a powerful cultivator like him.

But the problem was that what really threw him wasn't the height of the second floor, but the strong true energy that the Four Masters deliberately wrapped around him. Even if they didn't kill him, the impact of this blow alone was enough to make him suffer.

If it had been his disciple Yu Zhe, a mid Foundation Stage expert, then it wouldn't have been as simple as a fall. He would have died on the spot, bleeding from his seven apertures.

Under the curious or gloating gazes of the surrounding passers-by, Nan tianyong could not help but be flustered and exasperated after he reacted. Although he did not dare to attack, he pointed at the window on the second floor and was about to start cursing.

However, before he could curse, four powerful auras from upstairs had already firmly locked on him again. The killing intent was looming. If he was slightly rude at this time, it seemed that these four guest Masters would kill him at any time.

Although businessmen valued amiability to make money and Nan tianyong was very sure that Hong Zhong would not kill him today, these four guest Masters were different.

Hong Zhong was a businessman, but the four of them weren 't. They were only guest officials in charge of peaceful matters at critical moments. The Hong Chamber of Commerce didn't have much binding power on them.

Moreover, all experts had their own pride. If a clown like Nan tianyong kept challenging their tolerance, killing him would be as easy as killing a chicken. This was the privilege of an expert that was recognized in the cultivation world. Even if the rising Sky Pavilion pursued this matter, it would be useless.

Faced with the cold killing intent of these four guest Masters, Nan tianyong immediately swallowed the curse words at the corner of his mouth. He was impetuous, but he wasn't really stupid. If he was really an idiot, he wouldn't have reached his current level even if he had a powerful background.

Hong Zhong stood at the window and took in Nan tianyong's sullen expression. He said indifferently,""Take care."

Although his voice wasn't loud, it was like a heavy hammer. Every word struck the chest of everyone present, especially Nan tianyong, who was the first to bear the brunt. He almost spat out another mouthful of blood and his expression was extremely ugly.

However, apart from his ugly expression, Nan tianyong was extremely shocked in his heart. Because Hong Zhong had always been amiable, he had always thought that this old man was just a Lackey of the Hong Chamber of Commerce. He didn't expect that he was an existence even more terrifying than the four guest experts!

With the strength that Hong Zhong had just displayed, killing him would be as easy as squashing an ant. To think that he had been so reckless as to provoke and clamor at the other party. Now that he thought about it, he broke out in a cold sweat. What happened just now was like an old man hanging himself. He was tired of living!

In the face of such a great disparity, even though Nan tianyong was used to being overbearing and tyrannical, he could only temporarily bow his head and admit defeat. He covered his face and fled with his tail between his legs, causing the surrounding passers-by to laugh loudly. Some passers-by who knew Hong Zhong gave him a thumbs-up and cheered loudly.

Hong Zhong smiled at the scene and politely cupped his hands to the people downstairs to show his gratitude.

However, a few guests who were familiar with Hong Zhong found an opportunity to remind him,""Shopkeeper Hong, although this Nan Tianhai is an idiot, he has two other elder brothers whose strength is far above his. They are both unreasonable and overbearing people and have quite a reputation in the North Island. Of course, they don't have a good reputation. You have to be careful in the future."

"Thank you for the reminder." Hong Zhong nodded and stroked his long beard. He chuckled and said,"If they dare to come, then bring it on. Although our Hong Chamber of Commerce does business, we still need to find an opportunity to show off our muscles sometimes. At least we need to leave some deterrence for those with ulterior motives. Otherwise, if any Tom, Dick, and Harry dares to bare their teeth at us, then the trouble in the future will be endless."

He was backed by the Hong Chamber of Commerce, which was one of the top Chambers of Commerce in the five big islands of the Sky Class. The three Nan brothers were only the local tyrants of the North Island. Even a new master like Gongyang Jie from the law enforcement Hall could kill them with one hand, let alone the Hong Chamber of Commerce. They didn't need to worry about them at all.

If Nan tianyong really didn't know what was good for him and went back to find his two brothers to stand up for him, he, Hong Zhong, wouldn't mind taking action to suppress the three Nan brothers. After all, they could only do it once. They had already tolerated them this time. If they were to cause trouble again, the rising Sky Pavilion would not be able to say anything even if they were killed on the spot.

However, although Hong Zhong was not worried about his Hong Chamber of Commerce, he was unconsciously worried about Lin er, whom he had just met once.

Now that Nan Tianhai had been suppressed, it was obvious that he would not come to the Hong Chamber of Commerce to find trouble in a short period of time. Therefore, the only way to vent his anger was through Lin er. Once Lin er's identity and background were dug out by them, the consequences could be imagined.

In front of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, the three Nan brothers were just ants that could be easily crushed. However, to Lin er, who was at the peak of the early Foundation establishment stage, they were undoubtedly big shots. If they were really blocked, there was nothing they could do.

Hopefully, Lin er had hidden himself well enough that he would not be found so easily. Otherwise, the spiritual Jade card that he had just given out would be wasted.

The storm of the Hong Chamber of Commerce was just a joke to others, but to this so-called Lin er, it was a big trouble, and even a matter of life and death.

However, as the person involved, Lin Yi had no idea about this. He was just a normal newbie in the pavilion, and he didn't know this Lin er, nor did he have any interactions with him.

However, if Lin Yi were to say that he was just a normal newbie, it'd really make all the other newbies from the other three pavilions feel ashamed.

He was the first newbie to successfully reach the foundation establishment stage in the three great pavilions. He was the only newbie who had obtained full marks in the first two assessments. He was also a newbie who had rapidly recovered from a full-powered attack from a peak early Foundation establishment cultivator. If he could still be considered ordinary, then the others did not need to live.

Of course, if the other newbies, who were already tired from growing three to four seeds a day, found out that Lin Yi could easily grow eighty-five seeds at the same time, they'd probably jump off a building together.

Three days passed by in a flash. The newcomers had almost figured out the procedure on how to cultivate the spiritual herb seeds. They were not as helpless as they were in the first two days. As for how many spiritual herb seeds could be cultivated successfully, it was up to fate. (To be continued.)
