Beauty and the Bodyguard

Since the first round of the challenge was about to start in the afternoon, they were prepared to let Meng Tong challenge Lin Yi from his original spot at the 14th cave. After all, this was part of the challenge plan, and they could also test Lin Yi's strength. It was killing two birds with one stone, and even Xu lingchong came over to support him.

She didn't expect Lin Yi to come up with something like this just as the challenge was about to start.

"I remember that senior brother Meng said at the beginning that the welcoming new pavilion allows newcomers to exchange immortal's caves with each other. So, there should be no problem for us to do this, right?" Lin Yi raised a brow.

Meng jueguang and Xu lingchong looked at each other and quickly understood Lin Yi's intention. Anyone with eyes could see that under the rules of the challenge, cave number one was definitely the most awkward and unsolvable position. Lin Yi was obviously trying to act cool by asking to exchange with Xiao ran!

This kid was indeed a newbie at acting tough. He was always thinking of acting tough in front of his underlings. It was like he had a mental disorder!

"Although that's true, it's still a critical period for the newcomer examination. It seems a little inappropriate for you to exchange abodes now." Meng jueguang said perfunctorily.

He knew what Lin Yi was trying to do, but he didn't have the time to think about the pros and cons yet. He needed to delay and think about it.

"It is the welcoming new pavilion's rule to allow newcomers to exchange immortal's caves with each other. Do you think that the rules have to be changed because of a temporary newcomer assessment? Furthermore, in the rules of the newcomer assessment, there is not a single rule that goes against this. Please state clearly where senior brother Meng's words are inappropriate!" Lin Yi's face was calm as usual, but there was a hint of unquestionable authority in his tone.

Even if Meng jueguang didn't agree, Lin Yi still had other ways. As long as he challenged Xiao ran in the first round in the afternoon and defeated Xiao ran as a formality, they could still exchange caves.

However, in this way, Xiao ran would have one less chance to challenge as compared to exchanging abodes in advance. He would also lose two points from cave No. 14 at the foot of the mountain.

If Lin Yi beat him as the owner of cave No. 14, he'd trade the cave with Lin Yi, but the points would be taken from him. Lin Yi would get his initial fifteen points, but he wouldn't get Lin Yi's initial two points. From Xiao ran's point of view, it would be a bit of a loss.

Of course, Xiao ran wouldn't complain about this, because the two points didn't benefit others, but fell on Lin Yi's head. But Lin Yi wasn't satisfied.

Since he proposed to exchange cave abodes with Xiao ran, he didn't take these points seriously at all. These points were of no use to him, but they might be very important to Xiao ran.

Since he'd decided to do it, he had to do it to the best of his ability. He was fighting for Xiao ran's welfare, so Lin Yi naturally had to pay attention to it.

Lin Yi's performance moved all the newbies present-he was willing to jump into the pit to save his underlings! It was rare to see a boss love his underlings to this extent!

Everyone, especially Lee Zheng Ming, was deeply touched.

Luckily, he had the foresight to join boss Lin Yi's side-if it were a stupid boss like Meng Tong, he'd probably be forced to jump into Lin Yi's trap instead of helping him out. F * cking hell, it'd be a waste to compare people!

He did not feel this way for no reason. He had been in the welcome Pavilion for more than a month, and he had encountered this kind of situation many times. In fact, ever since he took the initiative to approach Meng jueguang, Meng Tong had not taken care of him. Instead, he had been setting him up.

After being defeated by Lin Yi in one move on the first day, Meng Tong could only stay in cave number fifteen, which was the worst and worst cave. Li Zhengming, on the other hand, occupied cave number two because of Meng jueguang's care. Meng Tong had been forcing li Zhengming to change his cave, but li Zhengming refused, which led to all kinds of resentment and hatred.

Then, when he went to the spiritual Jade Hall to mine, Meng Tong had forced him to contribute the spiritual jades he had excavated in various ways, both openly and covertly. However, he was unwilling, and there were all kinds of resentment and hatred.

After that, during the trial at the back of the mountain, Meng Tong had forced him to put the spiritual herbs on his head. Even if he had to give him one less spiritual herb in order to keep his place in the top ten, he would immediately be filled with all kinds of hatred.

It was fine if he didn't think of her when it came to good things, but when it came to bad things, he was the one who was testing Lin Yi!

With all these misdeeds, it was a huge insult to Lin Yi's boss to put Meng Tong next to Lin Yi. A piece of trash like Meng Tong wanted to be a new boss? what kind of sh * t was this?!

Faced with Lin Yi's interrogation, Meng jueguang and Xu lingchong looked at each other before replying,"Although there is such a rule, what you are doing now is taking advantage of a loophole. As the senior brother in charge of the GreenCloud Pavilion, I can't make a decision. It just so happens that young master Xu is here. As the saying goes, the onlooker sees more clearly. I believe young master Xu will definitely give a more reasonable and fair answer. I'll explain the situation to young master Xu in detail, so you can wait here for a while. "

With that, Meng jueguang ignored Lin Yi and the others, following Xu lingchong to the side to discuss.

"Hehe, these guys are really sleazy. Even for such a small matter, they have to discuss the pros and cons before giving an answer. They are really petty." Qiao Hong Cai saw these people's posture as if they were facing a great enemy and couldn't help but laugh in a low voice.

Xiao ran laughed,"they're scared of boss Lin Yi. They're probably afraid that there's some kind of scheme behind this. They're using their own yardstick to measure a gentleman's heart. They're right!"

Lin Yi chuckled,"it doesn't matter. As long as they have a normal IQ, they'll understand that this is a good thing for them. If they don't even have this IQ, then there's no need to worry about them anymore. They're just clowns."

The miserable senior brother couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene.

As the eldest Senior Steward, Meng jueguang had always been a domineering man. However, despite being a Senior Steward, he had been powerless in front of Meng jueguang for the past few years.

Yet Lin Yi, a rising star in the secular world, was this worried-not only Meng jueguang, but even Xu lingchong, who had a deep background, was worried! This was something he wouldn't even dare to imagine in the past! (To be continued.) "If you like this work, you're welcome to come to Qidian.com to give your recommendation and monthly vote.
