Beauty and the Bodyguard

In a sense, neglecting this birthday banquet was equivalent to neglecting lady Shangguan, and neglecting lady Shangguan was equivalent to neglecting Shangguan Tianhua, the pavilion master of the soaring Pavilion. The various dangers involved could not be explained clearly with just a few words.

"Chong-er, you've done well today. In the future, when the Xu clan is handed over to you, your grandfather can be slightly more at ease." In the process of presenting the gift, Xu Yuan deliberately stood up and walked to the side, nodding approvingly to his own grandson.

In his opinion, although Xu lingchong's little trick was still immature, as long as he had this awareness, he would not be too far away from supporting the Xu family's future.

"Thank you for your praise, Grandpa. I will definitely work harder to protect the Xu family in the future." Xu lingchong was immediately overjoyed by the praise.

Taking over the Xu family had always been his long-cherished wish. Today, he was able to obtain the approval of his grandfather, Xu Yuan Zheng, which proved that he was one big step closer to this goal.

Xu Yuanzheng laughed in a gratified manner and pointed out: "However, Chong-er, you have to remember one thing. Schemes and schemes are only minor tricks. If you want to control the greater picture, the best way is to grasp the key person. Otherwise, all your efforts will be in vain."

After saying that, the old man pointed to Shangguan LAN 'er, who was snuggling up to Shangguan Tianhua in the distance.

Xu lingchong nodded in understanding. She clenched her fists and said with a deeper meaning, "Don't worry, grandfather. She will never be able to escape from me. She will never!"

"It's great that you're so confident. Don't let Grandpa down." Xu Yuan patted his shoulder, turned around and returned to the main seat.

Xu lingchong took a deep breath and looked at Shangguan LAN 'er in the distance again, but there was a little more coldness and fierceness in her eyes that others could not detect.

Before today, Shangguan LAN 'er was like a goddess in his heart. However, after what happened just now, this goddess had quickly been downgraded to a coquettish woman who could have sex with anyone. If he only wanted to deal with this kind of coquettish woman, there was no need to be too polite.

At this point, the ceremony was almost over. Zhaoming said earnestly,""Young master Xu, can I take out my present now?"

Lingchong Xu nodded-this was the plan he'd discussed with Zhaoming, and he introduced it to him personally,"Dear friends and elders, the next person to present our Junior Sister LAN 'er with her birthday present is the new disciple Deacon of the welcome Pavilion, Kang Zhaoming!"

Zhaoming puffed out his chest and pretended to be calm as he opened the wooden box. There was a pill inside.

The crowd couldn't help but discuss among themselves. The fact that a newcomer had appeared in the welcoming Pavilion was already a piece of news that wasn't too big or small. Moreover, this newcomer had brought out a pretty good gift, a high-quality foundation Stage golden core!

"Junior Brother Kang, after hearing that you were fortunate enough to attend Junior Sister LAN 'er's birthday banquet, you spent ten days and ten nights with my help and supervision to finally refine this high-quality foundation establishment golden pill as a birthday gift for Junior Sister LAN' er." Lingchong Xu said, trying to save face for Zhaoming.

Everyone looked at Kang Zhaoming more seriously after hearing that,

A mere newcomer in the welcoming new pavilion naturally wouldn't enter their eyes. However, if this newcomer was an Alchemist and could personally refine a high-quality foundation Stage golden core, then his value would be great!

It should be known that even in the pill Hall where alchemists gathered, there were not many alchemists who could refine Foundation Stage golden pills, and the high-quality ones were even more countable.

From this perspective alone, this new refiner named Zhaoming could almost directly be ranked among the elite refiners!

Even Lin Yi, who knew Zhaoming's background well, was surprised. If lingchong was telling the truth, then he'd really underestimated this guy. He was only in the early Foundation Stage, but he could make a high quality foundation Stage golden elixir. This meant that this guy had some talent in alchemy.

Every single one of them was extraordinary, and the feeling of being admired by everyone made Kang Zhaoming feel like he was in heaven. He couldn't help but be secretly happy.

However, he still remembered the instructions that Xu lingchong had given him in advance. He immediately stood up and bowed."Young master Xu, you flatter me. As a newcomer of the rising Sky Pavilion, I've done my part for miss Shangguan. It's my duty. I don't deserve such praise."

Kang Zhaoming's words were humble and appropriate, earning the praise of all the leaders present. They all thought that this kid might be able to achieve great things in the future with some training.

After gaining enough attention, Zhaoming changed the topic and turned to Lin Yi."Newcomer Lin, you and I are the newcomers of the welcome Pavilion today. It's a rare opportunity for you to attend miss Shangguan's birthday party. You should express your sincerity. I know you've always been amazing, but you can't embarrass our Welcome Pavilion today. Do you have any gifts for us?"

Everyone here was a smart person-they knew what Kang Zhaoming was trying to do. They all looked like they were going to watch a good show. It had nothing to do with them anyway, so it didn't matter who was embarrassed.

However, Lin Yi only shook his head, "I'm sorry. I've already given my gift to miss Shangguan in private."

Zhaoming blinked, but lingchong chuckled softly,"You gave it to Junior Sister LAN 'er in private? Everyone present was giving gifts together, so why did a newcomer like him have to give special treatment? I heard that you're an Alchemist like Junior Brother Kang. What kind of gift did you give us? why don't you take it out for everyone to judge? after all, competition is the only way to improve!"

Xu lingchong's Grand words forced Lin Yi into a corner, and everyone's eyes turned to Shangguan LAN 'er.

Shangguan LAN 'er thought to herself that things were not looking good. Because she had been interrupted by the little Curly Bear just now, she had not even opened the gift in the spiritual Jade box.

But even so, she could guess that with Lin Yi's status as a newbie in the pavilion, he wouldn't be able to give her anything better than a top-tier Foundation Stage golden core. If she agreed just like that, her little brother would be outdone by that annoying person's men.

Just as Shangguan LAN 'er was thinking of a reason to refuse, the little Curly Bear took out the spiritual Jade box that it had snatched from its hands and opened it in front of everyone without saying anything.
