Beauty and the Bodyguard

"But ..." Southern Heaven Gate still wanted to say something, but Shangguan Tianhua waved his hand and interrupted him,""After all, my identity is still too sensitive. If someone with ulterior motives thinks that the three pavilions are dissatisfied with the Hong Chamber of Commerce, the impact will be great."

This was not an excuse. For a person like Shangguan Tianhua, whatever he did would be interpreted by people with various meanings. If he listened to the words of the southern Heaven Gate and rashly asked Hong Zhong about it, it would be easily misunderstood as dissatisfaction with the Hong Chamber of Commerce.

As Shangguan LAN 'er had said, unless the South Heaven Gate could produce conclusive evidence, Shangguan Tianhua would not show up easily.

"Grandpa, I'm right again! The three pavilions are not allowed to interfere with the business of the Chamber of Commerce in the market. You can't take the lead and break the rules. Besides, Grandpa Hong is so good to your granddaughter, and he even gave me Xiao Bai. How can you make things difficult for Grandpa Hong just because of some people's one-sided words?" Shangguan LAN 'er said proudly.

"Yes, yes. Little LAN 'er is still the one who sees it clearly." Shangguan Tianhua chuckled.

Looking at the grandfather and grandson duo echoing each other, especially after noticing the deep and profound look in Shangguan Tianhua's eyes, Southern Heaven Gate finally realized that the pavilion master had never really intended to step in and ask about this matter. He was just putting on an act for him!

Nantianmen even suspected that Shangguan Tianhua had secretly taught Shangguan LAN 'er these words in front of him. Otherwise, how could Shangguan LAN' er, an innocent girl, refute him so flawlessly and hit the nail on the head?

Little did he know that Shangguan Tianhua was acting, but he had never taught Shangguan LAN 'er to play along with him. To be honest, even Shangguan Tianhua himself did not expect Shangguan LAN' er to stand up and say this.

Shangguan Tianhua could not help but feel a sense of regret. Although his granddaughter looked innocent and naive at first glance, she was very talented and had a high level of comprehension. She was also very quick-witted and could be considered a great talent for cultivation. Unfortunately, she was not motivated and did not like the boring cultivation. What could he do about it?

Since Shangguan Tianhua had already put it this way, Southern Heaven Gate knew that it would be futile to stay here any longer, and they might even incur eldest miss's disgust. They could only bow and kneel respectfully,""Then, this disciple will take his leave."

Shangguan Tianhua nodded slightly and did not look at him anymore, allowing the southern heavenly gate to leave.

Looking at the back of the South Heaven Gate, Shangguan LAN 'er stuck out her tongue and said,""Grandpa, this person is so bad. He actually wants you to deal with Grandpa Hong. He really has bad intentions!"

"Hehe, he probably learned a lesson from your Grandpa Hong, so he wants to use this old man's hand to give your Grandpa Hong a taste of his power!" Shangguan Tianhua shook his head with a smile. Although the people of the southern Heaven Gate were cunning and shrewd, they were still too inexperienced to play any tricks in front of a top-tier Big Shot like him.

"Hehe, this person thought he could use you as a tool, Grandpa. He really thinks he's smart! In my opinion, you should teach him a lesson and let him remember!" Shangguan LAN 'er said gloatingly.

If it was any other Big Shot with a slightly lower tolerance, they would definitely make things difficult for Southern Heaven Gate just because of this little bit of ill-intent and in order to protect their Big Shot's face. However, Shangguan Tianhua did not care about this at all. At his level, he already had his own set of plans and would not be angry over such a small matter.

Shangguan Tianhua smiled noncommittally and said,""That's not necessary. Southern Heaven Gate isn't someone who gives up so easily. Since I can't do it here, I'll definitely think of another way when I get back. However, this isn't something that I need to care about."

At this point, Shangguan Tianhua suddenly paused and turned to look at Shangguan LAN 'er with a strange expression.""Xiao LAN 'er, you've never been interested in these kinds of schemes before. Why are you suddenly so enthusiastic today? Could it be that you're also interested in that rogue cultivator Lin er?"

"No way! I'm clearly standing up for Grandpa Hong!" Shangguan LAN 'er quickly denied it-she didn't want Shangguan Tianhua to know about Lin Yi.

However, in the heat of the moment, she did not notice that Shangguan Tianhua had used the word "also" when he said that he was interested in the itinerant cultivator Lin er.

In the entire three great pavilions, only a handful of people could attract the attention of the pavilion master of the rising Sky Pavilion. The facts had proven that none of them were ordinary. For example, the current master of the law enforcement Hall, Gongyang Jie.

With Hong Zhong's character, Shangguan Tianhua believed that he would not deliberately help Lin er to deal with Nan tianyong. However, it was a fact that Lin er had killed Nan tianyong in one move. For a cultivator at the peak of the early stage of the foundation building realm to be able to defeat an opponent who was four levels higher than him in one move, no matter what methods he used, this was already a miracle!

It was no wonder that Shangguan Tianhua, the top boss of the North Island, would be interested in Lin er.

The next day, under miss Shangguan's orders, Curly Bear sneaked into Lin Yi's cave number one with the information.

"The second of the Nan family's three heroes, the eldest senior brother in charge of the rising Sky Pavilion, and the South Heaven Gate?" Lin Yi looked at the situation described by Shangguan LAN 'er in the letter and couldn't help but be a little surprised. He sighed to himself that Yu Zhe really didn't give up. Nan tianyong had just died, and he immediately brought in an even stronger Southern Heaven sect!

Killing the defenseless Nan tianyong with a pure energy bomb was already Lin Yi's limit. If it was the stronger southern sky Gate, he would have no choice but to hide.

However, what touched Lin Yi was that Hong Zhong protected him even though they had only met twice. He stepped on Nan tianyong and Nantian gate's three heroes without saying anything, and even almost got pressured by Shangguan Tianhua, the pavilion master of the rising Sky Pavilion. This favor was really touching.

Lin Yi knew that Hong Zhong did this out of his own consideration, and it was true that Hong Zhong didn't know who he was, but no matter what, Lin Yi still had to owe him a favor. He'd have to take care of his business in the future.

To Lin Yi, it'd be a win-win situation if he could establish a stable working relationship with an experienced and reliable business giant like Hong Zhong.

Other than the visit from the southern heavenly sect last night, Shangguan LAN 'er had also analyzed the reactions of the higher-ups of the rising Sky Pavilion and the Hall of Justice.

Compared to miss Shangguan, Lin Yi's status in the welcoming Pavilion was a lot more restricted, and he didn't have the privilege to figure out the reactions of the higher-ups in the pavilion or the Hall of Justice.
