Beauty and the Bodyguard

Although Kang Zhaoming looked the same as Lin Yi, completely different from the Lin er they were looking for, this alone wasn't enough to eliminate them from the suspicion. Otherwise, they wouldn't be testing Lin Yi.

Putting his face aside, no matter how one looked at him, Kang Zhaoming was the biggest suspect.

First of all, he was a disciple of the rising Sky Pavilion, and he had a master like Xu lingchong backing him up. In theory, he should be above Lin Yi in terms of both Foundation and strength, and should be closer to the image of Lin er. Secondly, if he wasn't Lin er, why would he try so hard to divert their attention and frame the irrelevant Lin Yi? If it was purely for personal vendetta, why didn't he say that he knew how to use the pill fire bomb?

"It's easy to find out if Kang Zhaoming knows how to use the pill fire bomb or not-you can use the same trick you used on Lin Yi on him, and the truth will come to light!" South Heaven Gate sneered.

"Ah? Shibo, this isn't good, is it?" Yu Zhe jumped. To be honest, he was already taking a big risk when he tried to test Lin Yi just now. If Xiao ran and Qiao hongcai had seen him, he might have had to turn himself in at the law enforcement Hall!

And now, southern sky Gate wanted him to test Kang Zhaoming. Kang Zhaoming was a new member of the sect, and his position was much higher than Lin Yi, who was just a normal grass root new member of the sect. He also had Xu lingchong behind him. If something happened, it wouldn't be something an inner sect disciple like Yu Zhe could handle!

South Heaven Gate frowned in dissatisfaction. "I'll bear all the consequences for you, what are you afraid of? You won't be able to achieve great things if you shrink your head and feet!"

"This ..." Yu Zhe couldn't help but fall into a dilemma.

Although Southern Heaven Gate's words were domineering, the other party was still young master Xu's subordinate. If they really angered young master Xu and caused a big mess, Yu Zhe felt that not only Southern Heaven Gate, but even the Big Brother of the three Nan family, Nan Tianba, might not be able to handle it. Once Southern Heaven Gate couldn't hold on, the first one to suffer would definitely be Yu Zhe.

However, Yu Zhe was now coveting the southern sky Gate's minor phaseless magic, and he was also counting on the southern sky Gate to find Lin er for him. So he couldn't wait to please the southern sky Gate, how could he dare to disobey the other party's will?

If he went to test Kang Zhaoming, he would probably get himself into trouble. However, if he went against southern sky Gate's wishes, it would only add to their bad impression. Southern sky Gate was a sensitive and smart person. Once he left a bad impression, it would be hard to correct it. When that happened, he wouldn't be able to count on his lesser formless power anymore.

This time, Yu Zhe was really caught in a dilemma.

Looking at Yu Zhe's cowardice, Southern Heaven Gate was about to reprimand him when they suddenly heard a clamor coming from the welcoming Pavilion not far away. Judging from the commotion, the newcomer challenge should have begun.

Yu Zhe instantly found a life-saving straw, and hurriedly said,""Look, uncle-the newcomer challenge has started, even if I wanted to test him, I'd have to wait until it's over. I can't just attack Kang Zhaoming in front of everyone, right?"

If they really did attack Kang Zhaoming in the newcomer's challenge, then not to mention Yu Zhe, even the South Heaven Gate's big senior managing disciple wouldn't be able to handle it. They'd be beaten to the ground by the law enforcement Hall.

This reason was impeccable, so South Heaven Gate could only nod and say,""Alright then, after the challenge, you can find a chance to test him out. We can ignore the rest for now, but we have to find out whether Kang Zhaoming knows the pill fire bomb or not by today. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand." Yu Zhe hurriedly nodded.

Southern Heaven Gate's meaning was clear-if Zhaoming knew how to use the pill fire bomb, then from how he'd tried to divert their attention for no reason, the possibility of him being Lin er was pretty high.

As for the southern Heaven Gate, Lin er could be anyone in the welcome Pavilion, and with the southern Heaven Gate's power, they could easily crush anyone in the welcome Pavilion. But if it was Kang Zhaoming, a man lingchong personally admitted to be his underling, then things would get complicated if young master Xu was involved.

With the background of Xu lingchong's covetous desire to take over the position of the eldest senior brother of the rising Sky Pavilion, anything that might involve young master Xu was no longer a small matter in the eyes of the southern Heaven Gate. If they were not careful, it might become the fuse for an all-out war between him and young master Xu.

It wasn't that Southern Heaven Gate was guilty, but that they were far from ready to deal with it.

However, from Yu Zhe's point of view, even though he was relieved after hearing Southern Heaven Gate's orders, he was still a little worried. The rookie Challenge could only buy him some time. Once the challenge ended, even if he didn't want to jump into this hole, Southern Heaven Gate would force him to.

There was no helping it. This was the sorrow of being an underling. There would always be times when he had to act as cannon fodder.

"Come, let's go see that Kang Zhaoming kid." Southern Heaven Gate walked toward the rising Sky Pavilion's newcomer's stage. Even if Yu Zhe couldn't directly test the waters, it was still a good opportunity to observe the situation. Perhaps he might get some unexpected gains.

"Yes." Yu Zhe followed behind Southern Heaven Gate with complicated thoughts. He was pondering over a question. After the rookie Challenge ended, what excuse should he use to continue to decline?

He knew that this was a trap with great risks, but a smart person like him wouldn't jump into it even if he was forced by the southern Heaven Gate. However, Yu Zhe didn't think that this was a problem he couldn't think of. Kang Zhaoming took the initiative to help him solve it.

The reason was simple-Zhaoming was forced to use the pill fire bomb in the upcoming Rookie Challenge!

There were so many newbies in the soaring Pavilion, and although they'd all been told by young master Xu to take care of Kang Zhaoming, these newbies all came from powerful families. Even if they weren't as arrogant as Xu lingchong, they were at least from the second generation, and not a single one of them was gentle.

Even among the new disciples of the Qingyun Pavilion, there would be people like Lin Yi. The new disciples of the rising Sky Pavilion had more confidence, and there were naturally many who were dissatisfied with young master Xu's arrangement.

Of course, not all the newbies from the rising Sky Pavilion dared to ignore young master Xu's abuse of power. Therefore, in the past two months, most of the newbies of the rising Sky Pavilion had been cooperating with young master Xu's orders on the surface.

However, when they found someone who was as strong as young master Xu, these people would vent their dissatisfaction without hesitation. (To be continued.)
