Beauty and the Bodyguard

However, for Lin Yi, if he was really searched, it would be a disaster. No one could save him in this situation, not even Shangguan LAN 'er.

Although Shangguan LAN 'er was the Miss, her words wouldn't be as effective when it came to these important people, unless her grandfather, Shangguan Tianhua, came out personally. However, Shangguan Tianhua was the master of the rising Sky Pavilion, why would he stand up for a nobody like Lin Yi?

If it really didn't work, he could only try to create chaos and escape. Compared to having all his secrets known by someone using a soul-searching technique, this might actually have a chance of survival.

At this moment, a familiar young girl's voice suddenly sounded behind them.""Lin Yi is my Savior, who dares to use a soul-searching technique on him?"

With the appearance of this person, everyone's attention was instantly focused on her. Even the legendary Gongyang Jie was only slightly inferior to her. This person was the main character of this birthday banquet, Shangguan LAN 'er.

Lin Yi relaxed. As long as he wasn't being searched, and Shangguan LAN 'er came out to help, it would still work. Even if Nan Tianba and the others wanted to punish him, they probably wouldn't dare to go against miss Shangguan's will on a day like today.

However, Nan Tianba and the others "reactions were completely out of Lin Yi's expectations.

"Miss Shangguan, Lin Yi may be your Savior, but he could also be the murderer of my third brother. There's no conflict between the two, and Pavilion master Shangguan personally ordered an investigation into this matter. Do you want your grandfather's orders to be empty, miss?" Nan Tianba said with conviction.

After joining forces with Xu Yuanzheng's faction behind Xu lingchong, their side was already very clear. Since their backer had nothing to do with Shangguan Tianhua, there was naturally no need to care too much about a little girl like Shangguan LAN 'er.

"This ... Lin Yi ..." Shangguan LAN 'er was at a loss for words.

Shangguan LAN 'er could only look at Lin Yi helplessly. She wanted to help Lin Yi out of this situation, but this wasn't like the normal law enforcer she faced last time. This was the extraordinary Nan Tianba. If logic didn't make sense, then even she, miss Shangguan, would be helpless.

Although she acted like a willful and ignorant little girl at times, she would never let her guard down when it came to her grandfather's important matters. At times like this, if she said anything wrong, it could be used as an excuse to affect her grandfather's image and status. This kind of thing had happened many times in the past.

Lin Yi shook his head at Shangguan LAN 'er, telling her not to say anything. She was still a little girl, after all, and it would be better to wait and see than to be targeted by the other party.

Seeing that Shangguan LAN 'er was left speechless, Nan Tianba and the others looked at each other and smiled smugly. Then, they said to Gongyang Jie,""Hall Master Gongyang, you're the one in charge of the three pavilions" punishments. Now that the suspect, Lin Yi, is right in front of you, it's not right to just ignore him. What do you think?"

With just a few words, the situation was completely under Nan Tianba's control. It was clear that this fellow was not as burly, hot-tempered, and brainless as he looked on the surface.

Lin Yi could only secretly be on guard. Things had suddenly developed to this point, and even Shangguan LAN 'er couldn't help him out. It was really hard to back down now, and he could only take one step at a time.

However, at this moment, Gongyang Jie glanced at Nan Tianba and said,"Nan Tianba, when did it become your turn to teach me what I need to do?"

With just a simple sentence, Nan Tianba and the others, who were still feeling smug, instantly had their faces fall.

They had forgotten that Gongyang Jie wasn't someone they could order around as they pleased. If they were to do something that Gongyang Jie didn't like, Lin Yi would be fine, but they would be in trouble.

Moreover, the reason why there was no progress in Nan tianyong's case was actually the result of Gongyang Jie's instigations. He felt that this case was insignificant, so no one would investigate it. Naturally, there would be no results.

Therefore, Nan Tianba's words were no different from Gongyang Jie's scolding for his inaction. With Gongyang Jie's arrogance, there was no way he would agree!

"Uh ... No..." Nan Tianba wanted to explain, but Gongyang Jie suddenly stood up without any warning. His overbearing aura instantly pressed down on Nan Tianba's head.

Nan Tianba was caught off guard, his knees went soft and he almost knelt down in front of the crowd. He gritted his teeth and managed to hold himself up. However, the two people behind him, Southern Heaven Gate and Yu Zhe, didn't have the strength to do so. With a plop, their knees hit the floor tiles in unison, and they vomited blood in a sorry state.

"You're not? Is it your fault or mine?" Gongyang Jie looked at him coldly and said,""This is just a small warning. I don't have that much patience, and I'm too lazy to care about these bullsh * t things. Give me an answer to the question I asked you before within three days. Otherwise, you should know what the consequences will be."

After saying that, Gongyang Jie stood up and left, leaving the crowd with an arrogant and unruly back view.

This man was truly extraordinary! Even Lin Yi couldn't help but admire him. To be honest, it was rare to see a man as strong and arrogant as Gongyang Jie.

However, Lin Yi was more curious about what was going on between Gongyang Jie and Nan Tianba. This was the second time Gongyang Jie had mentioned it in such a short time.

"Hehe, this time you've kicked an iron plate on the cold-faced ghost. You really deserve it!" Shangguan LAN 'er was gloating at Lin Yi's misfortune, and the little Curly Bear that was hanging on Lin Yi's neck with her also waved its claws at the group.

Nan Tianba's face was ashen from anger, but he couldn't flare up at the moment. He could only sneer and silently pull up the two men from Southern Heaven Gate and Yu Zhe who were kneeling on the ground.

After all, this was Shangguan LAN 'er's birthday party. He was in the right just now, and it was understandable that he did not give this young lady face. However, if he dared to throw a tantrum at her now, it would be too much. If Shangguan Tianhua heard about this, he would not be able to bear the consequences.

"Little Junior Brother, let's go. I feel disgusted to stand with such a shameless person!" Shangguan LAN 'er didn't say anything and left with Lin Yi. (To be continued.)
