Beauty and the Bodyguard
4188 Gongyang Jie's decision
"Forget it. Since it's like this, I'll go and see Meng Tong first. One of you go and keep an eye on him. When you find Lin Yi, or when he comes back, report to me." Xu lingchong paused and said with a cold expression,"Also, take a good look at him and Shangguan LAN 'er. See if they're together!"
This "together" didn't mean that Lin Yi and Shangguan LAN 'er were just having fun together, but that the two of them were already in cahoots! This would affect how he was going to deal with Lin Yi-he'd have to be wary of Shangguan Tianhua if they really did end up together!
"This ..." Kang Zhaoming and Zhong pinliang looked at each other, obviously unwilling. They came back with Xu lingchong today, and this was a long-lost opportunity to show off. Who wouldn't want to be in the limelight with Xu lingchong? If they were sent to keep watch, then what was the point of acting?
Especially Kang Zhaoming, he was using this opportunity to rally his forces and raise his prestige as the new executive Officer once more. How could he be kicked out like this!
Zhaoming was getting anxious under lingchong's gaze. He looked at pinliang and pretended to cough.
"Young master Xu, why don't I go?" Pinliang said, understanding what Lin Yi was trying to say. The reluctance on his face was a pretense-he was looking for a chance to report to boss Lin Yi, but he couldn't be too eager.
"Alright, you can go." Xu lingchong indifferently nodded.
Kang Zhaoming was secretly happy as he gave Zhong pinliang a thumbs up. He was very satisfied with Zhong pinliang's initiative. Although his position was threatened when Xu lingchong went missing, now that the young master was back, his position naturally rose again.
He was much closer to lingchong than pinliang was, but pinliang's tactfulness was rare. It seemed like he could help lingchong more in the future so that he could take the blame when the time came.
Pinliang turned around and left, a smile on his face. Zhaoming was still counting the money he'd earned from the betrayal-he wouldn't have had the chance to tell boss Lin Yi if it weren't for him!
Although Lin Yi wasn't in the cave, he knew Lin Yi well. Since he was called out by Shangguan LAN 'er, he must have gone to the small forest, a place they often played in.
After sending Zhong pinliang out to keep watch, Zhaoming continued to follow Xu lingchong to the entrance of Meng Tong's cave and activated the cave's restriction.
"Young ... Young master Xu, you're back?" Meng Tong opened the door of his cave abode and was shocked to see the group of people in front of him, especially Xu lingchong, who was leading the group.
He'd been in isolated practitioning all this time, rarely coming out. He'd never even heard of the rumors that women and children knew about. He didn't care much about the others, but it'd be weird if he wasn't surprised to see someone he'd never seen before.
Xu lingchong looked at the completely different Meng Tong in front of her. Her eyes could not help but light up and she was a little surprised. In the past, Meng Tong was a complete and utter straw bag of cannon fodder. But now, not only was his strength completely different from before, but his entire image and temperament had also become unpredictable. His white hair fluttered in the wind and he had a unique charm.
Xu lingchong's heart skipped a beat. He waved his hand to the people behind him and ordered,"Zhaoming, you stay outside. I'll go in and have a good chat with Meng Tong."
With that, Xu lingchong pulled Meng Tong into the cave and closed the door and restrictions. No one knew what they were doing inside, leaving Kang Zhaoming, Hu Yunfeng, and the others at the door, looking at each other.
At this moment, in the small forest, Lin Yi was sitting and chatting with Shangguan LAN 'er, while Huang xiaotao was on the side, playing with the little Curly Bear.
"Hehe, Xiao Bai seems to like playing with Xiao Tao recently!" Lin Yi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise. This little guy wasn't very shy with strangers, but other than Shangguan LAN 'er and himself, it rarely took the initiative to get close to others. He didn't expect it to get along so well with Huang xiaotao.
"It's trying so hard to please Senior Sister Xiao Tao, but it actually has other intentions. " Shangguan LAN 'er giggled.
"What do you mean?" Lin Yi asked curiously.
"Last time, Xiao Bai played with Senior Sister Xiao Tao's Spirit Bird for an entire afternoon. In the end, it fell in love with the feeling of riding the bird and couldn't stop at all. I coaxed it for a long time before it went to sleep." Shangguan LAN 'er pouted and said.
"Oh? Little white is preparing to become a flying Knight. He has great ambitions!" Lin Yi laughed,"it's not a bad thing. It's better than scaring people with the big scissors every day."
Ever since Xu lingchong's death at the birthday party, the little Curly Bear had fallen in love with the pair of big scissors. It couldn't bear to put it down, not even when it was eating or sleeping. It had been a headache for a while, but now, the little guy's interest had finally shifted.
"Hehe, that's true." Shangguan LAN 'er stuck out her tongue, and suddenly her expression changed,""Speaking of this, Little Junior Brother, have you heard that Xu lingchong has returned?"
"Yes, I've already heard about this. They say that this young master Xu has changed a lot. He's now a master in the middle jiedan stage. He's really awesome." Lin Yi nodded, his expression calm.
"I don't know what Gongyang Jie is thinking. He actually canceled his arrest warrant. He has offended me, but he still came back to show off. It's so annoying!" Shangguan LAN 'er said angrily.
"Gongyang Jie made the decision to cancel the arrest warrant? Could it be that it wasn't xu Yuan Zheng or some other higher-ups who came forward to pressure us?" Lin Yi's heart moved. The rumors said that this was Xu Yuanzheng's doing, but if it was Gongyang Jie's doing, then the meaning behind it was a bit thought-provoking.
"Well, I'm not sure about that. But it's the law enforcement Hall's Hall Master who keeps things to himself. Without his consent, no matter what the others do, there's no way to cancel the wanted order. That's for sure." Although Shangguan LAN 'er had never cared about these things, she had been influenced by them and was very clear about it.
"Did Gongyang Jie really agree to it?" Lin Yi pinched his chin thoughtfully. He'd dealt with Gongyang Jie before, and from what he knew, this guy was extremely proud and confident. If he didn't want to, even God wouldn't be able to make him lower his head.
"Who knows? the most important problem now is that Xu lingchong has come back so aggressively. He must be up to no good ..." Shangguan LAN 'er said with a worried look.
"That's fine. We'll deal with things as they come. Previously, when we dealt with su Zhaohe, since we've already made a high-profile appearance, it doesn't matter if we have Xu lingchong. At most, we'll just fight again." Lin Yi chuckled. (To be continued.) "If you like this work, you're welcome to come to Qidian.com to give your recommendation and monthly vote.
