Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Oh, Oh, I know!" Shangguan LAN 'er thought that she'd managed to get away with it, her face full of excitement. Little did she know that Shangguan Tianhua was only turning a blind eye to it because he trusted Lin Yi.

Just as Shangguan LAN 'er was busy fooling her Grandpa, the pavilion master Yu Zhenyang descended into Lin Yi's mansion once more and activated the restriction.

"Greetings, Pavilion master." Lin Yi quickly came out to welcome him. He knew that with the pavilion master's strength, it would be a piece of cake for him to cross the restriction and enter without making a sound. The other party was only waiting outside out of courtesy.

"No need to be so polite. The appointment has already been announced. After much difficulty, he will be promoted to the third Pavilion master of the welcoming new pavilion. Xiao ran will be promoted to the senior brother of the GreenCloud Pavilion's new manager. This news will be officially announced tomorrow." Yu Zhenyang said with a smile.

"That's great. Thank you for your help, Pavilion master. " Lin Yi was overjoyed. These two positions were great opportunities for both the poor guy and Xiao ran. As long as they could develop normally, they would have a bright future.

"Haha, that's what I should do. There's one more thing. There's been news from Lu bianren." Yu Zhenyang laughed, then his expression turned serious."He did go on a mission during this period of time. The mission location is at the crescent sea near the southern island. However, the people who went on the mission with him have all returned. There is no news of him, no news at all."

"Pavilion master, are you saying that only senior brother Lu has left the group?" Lin Yi's heart tightened-his intuition told him that something really did happen to Lu bianren.

"That's right. The other people who came back don't know his whereabouts or where he went. They only said that they went their separate ways during the mission." Yu Zhenyang nodded.

"Why did you part ways halfway?" Lin Yi frowned and asked,"Pavilion master, do you know what mission senior brother Lu is on this time?"

"The mission itself doesn't really matter, Lin Yi. I can tell you for sure that Lu bianren split up with the others to find vice leader Yao." Yu Zhenyang concluded.

"Vice Pavilion leader Yao?" Lin Yi blinked again. He was on good terms with Lu bianren, but he'd never mentioned anything about vice Pavilion leader Yao, not even his poor Shixiong.

"That's right. I don't treat you as an outsider, so I won't say anything to you. This Deputy Pavilion leader Yao has always been Lu bianren's greatest backer." "A few years ago, Deputy Pavilion leader Yao led a team out on a mission. After that, there was no news from them. Not a single one of them returned. The last place they received news from was in this Yingluo sea. Hence, Lu bianren went there specially to find Deputy Pavilion leader Yao. The mission was just a cover. After he went there, he naturally separated from the main team."

"I see." Lin Yi nodded, deep in thought. He'd heard the guy mention it before, but he only said that their backer was out on a mission and hadn't been back for a few years. He didn't go into any details.

From the looks of it, Lu bianren had most likely gone to look for someone. He was previously the third Pavilion master of the welcoming Pavilion, and although he had been ostracized, he still held an important position and couldn't go out to carry out missions. After stepping down, he became the second senior brother of the outer sect manager of the GreenCloud Pavilion. Even if his position only rose and didn't fall, there were many fewer restrictions. Even if he disappeared for a period of time, it wouldn't matter.

"But, even if they split up at the start, after the mission is over, don't tell me those people didn't wait for senior brother Lu and just returned on their own? Isn't this a little unreasonable?" Lin Yi asked.

"On the surface, he'll definitely wait, but that's just for show. In reality, although Lu bianren can be considered a genius disciple and his life has always been smooth-sailing, because of his personality, after the disappearance of his backer, Deputy Pavilion leader Yao, he's actually not doing well." Yu Zhenyang sighed.

Unlike his poor senior brother, who was a disciple with average talent, Lu bianren had also shone brightly for a while in the GreenCloud Pavilion, which had always lacked talent. Otherwise, he would not have left such an impression in the heart of the pavilion master. Unfortunately, because of the disappearance of Deputy Pavilion master Yao, Lu bianren was like an eagle with a broken wing, unknown to the world, and lost to the masses.

"I know that senior brother Lu's life in the welcoming new pavilion wasn't going well. But wasn't he promoted to the second senior brother of the GreenCloud Pavilion's outer sect manager?" Lin Yi couldn't help but ask.

"Hehe, in terms of position alone, this is indeed a promotion. But first, he has no backing, and second, he's not smart enough. This position of the outer sect's second senior brother, he's actually not stable at all. As far as I know, after he took office, he didn't have any substantial control of power, and was directly suspended by the outer sect's first senior brother." Yu Zhenyang said regretfully.

"Is that so ..." Lin Yi had warned Lu bianren to be careful of this situation before he was appointed, so he didn't look surprised.""However, this situation isn't a good thing for the long-term development of the GreenCloud Pavilion. Don't tell me the higher-ups aren't going to interfere at all?"

"That's right, but the higher-ups don't interfere with the competition between the lower-level disciples. This has been a long-standing agreement. No one will rashly break this rule. After all, this is also a reflection of one's own ability. " Yu Zhenyang shook his head.

"I understand. Thank you for telling me, Pavilion master." Lin Yi didn't dwell on the matter and nodded in thanks.

"It's nothing. It's just a small matter," Yu Zhenyang said with a smile.

After sending Yu Zhenyang off, Lin Yi went to the welcome Pavilion to find the miserable senior brother and tell him about it. After all, the miserable senior brother was closer to Lu bianren.

"AI, first it was Deputy Pavilion leader Yao, and now it's senior brother Lu. I can't help at all. What should I do?" After hearing this, the bitter senior brother couldn't help but sigh.

"There's no other way. We can only wait and see. Let's hope that they're lucky. " Lin Yi said helplessly. He knew the cause, but there was no news from him. Even if he wanted to help, it was useless.

"In the end, it's all my fault for being too useless. If I was a little stronger, I could have gone with senior brother Lu. Then, we could have looked out for each other. It's better than standing by and watching now, sigh ..." The miserable senior brother said with regret and self-blame.

"Senior brother ku, you don't have to blame yourself. Although I've never met Deputy Pavilion leader Yao, I know senior brother Lu. He's not an ordinary person. It's not that simple for an accident to happen. Perhaps there's something else." Lin Yi consoled before changing the topic."Oh, that's right. Besides this, I have another piece of good news for you. The position of the welcoming new pavilion's third Pavilion master has been confirmed to fall on your head. So, you must be mentally prepared tomorrow." (To be continued.)
