Beauty and the Bodyguard

Lin Yi was at least 99% sure that this Yu Zhe was the one who had stolen the star inkstone last time, and that the newcomer they were looking for was him.

What made Lin Yi a little suspicious was that he'd only fought with Yu Zhe after buying the star inkstone. Even if this guy could tell that he was from the welcoming new pavilion from the route he took, how could he be so sure that he was a newbie and not the manager?

After all, Lin Yi didn't hold back his strength at all when they first fought-any normal person would've thought of him as the pavilion's manager, not a newbie, right?

He read the letter carefully again and saw the words "Nan tianyong, manager of the rising Sky Pavilion." Lin Yi quickly understood.

The reason why the other party didn't inquire about the manager of the welcoming new pavilion was probably because he knew the background of the manager of the welcoming new pavilion, and even the background of the pavilion master Hu Yun Feng, who was a high-level figure. Thus, he had already ruled them out in advance.

After eliminating all the possibilities that could be eliminated, the last possibility was left. No matter how ridiculous and unbelievable it was, it was often true and reliable.

It wasn't strange at all that Yu Zhe was looking for him for revenge after what he'd suffered last time, but what surprised Lin Yi was that he even brought up Nan tianyong as his master.

If it was just Yu Zhe, Lin Yi wouldn't be afraid even if he was found out. But if there was Nan tianyong, who he had never met before and was very likely to be very strong, it would be a little tricky.

Shangguan LAN 'er's letter came at the right time-if it weren't for her, Lin Yi wouldn't have found out about all this in such a short time, and if he let yingzhe and Nan tianyong focus their attention on the newbies of the pavilion and continue investigating like this, things might get out of hand as time went on.

He'd put on a thousand-thread mask to be safe when he'd dealt with Yu Zhe, acting as Lin er from the start to the end. Even if Yu Zhe and Nan tianyong were checking on the new disciples, they wouldn't be able to link it to Lin Yi.

However, there were still risks in this matter.

No matter how well Lin er's identity was hidden, it couldn't be flawlessly hidden. If Yu Zhe and Nan tianyong kept an eye on him for a long time, they would eventually find some clues. Once this fake identity was exposed, Lin Yi would be in big trouble.

He had already made countless enemies in the welcoming new pavilion. There was Meng jueguang and Meng Tong, Xu lingchong and Kang Zhaoming, and even people like the pavilion master Hu Yunfeng. They were all natural enemies. If he added Yu Zhe and Nan tianyong, the supervising Deacon of the rising Sky Pavilion, how could he survive in the welcoming new pavilion?

No matter how strong Lin Yi was, that was only in comparison to normal newbies. He was a little depressed to be targeted by so many powerful people with strong backgrounds!

Lin Yi's principle was to not be afraid of trouble, but his main purpose was to focus on his training, not to fight with these people!

This was a real crisis. It seemed to be far away, but it was actually close at hand. If he was not careful, he might face a disaster in the next few days.

After receiving Shangguan LAN 'er's message, Lin Yi's first reaction was to think of a way to divert these two people's attention.

However, how to divert their attention was another difficult problem.

Lin Yi couldn't come into contact with him at the moment, and even if there was a chance to meet him face to face, it would be logical to avoid him as much as possible. There was no way he'd jump out and meet him.

Otherwise, if he came into close contact with it, he might be discovered and fall into a trap. After all, his strength had reached the level of the middle stage of the foundation building realm, and the sensitivity of his perception was no small matter. He had to be careful.

However, if they didn't even have the chance to come into contact with the other party, what could they use to mislead the other? This was clearly a paradox.

"There it is!" Lin Yi's eyes lit up after a moment of thought.

With his current identity as Lin Yi, it was indeed not good for him to jump out and initiate contact with Yu Zhe and Nan tianyong. Even if he did, it would be unrealistic to want the other party to shift their attention away from the pavilion.

This was because he had already eliminated all other possibilities by locking onto the newcomer of the welcoming new pavilion. It was even more difficult to mislead the other party from this angle. Moreover, once the traces of misleading were too obvious, it would be easy to give others a handle.

But, even if he couldn't get the attention away from the pavilion, he could still make himself disappear from their sight without leaving a trace.

The reason was very simple. As long as he could find a way to get the other party to eliminate him from the suspect list, then no matter how long they would keep an eye on the welcoming new pavilion in the future, and no matter how detailed their investigation was, they would not be able to associate him with the case. This was because they had subconsciously labeled him as an impossible person.

It wasn't difficult to do that at all. He only needed to do one thing, and that was to get them to come and meet him before the other party reduced the number of suspects!

It seemed like this idea was no different from taking the initiative to die, but the one who fought Yu Zhe was Lin er, and the Lin Yi now was a completely different person!

If they hadn't seen Lin Yi's face, Yu Zhe and Nan tianyong would've easily locked onto Lin Yi after combining all the recent rumors about the welcome Pavilion. Once they matched Lin Yi and Lin er, the final result would only become more and more similar until it was confirmed to be true.

This target was too obvious-the Lin er they were looking for was at the peak of the early Foundation Stage, while the Lin Yi in the welcome Pavilion was only at the early Foundation Stage. But one thing was for sure-with enough effort, it was entirely possible for someone to hide their strength.

Not to mention, Lin Yi had taken a full-powered attack from a peak-level early Foundation Stage cultivator in the resistance test, and yet he was able to recover in such a short time-this was enough to prove his strength.

These were all the flaws that maintained the relationship between Lin Yi and Lin er. Once they made the connection and confirmed that Lin Yi looked different from Lin er, they'd still think that Lin Yi was a disguise or a human skin mask. Their identity would be exposed one day.

So, if he let Yu Zhe and Nan tianyong continue investigating like this, it would be very dangerous for Lin Yi.

The only way to solve this crisis was to let them be preconceived! (To be continued.) "If you like this work, you're welcome to come to Qidian.com to give your recommendation and monthly vote. Your support is my greatest motivation. For mobile users, please read on M.Qidian.com.)
