Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Who will go and who will stay?" Everyone looked at each other. They all wanted to go, but Lu bianren's words made sense. If they all went, there would be no benefit. After all, they were going to find someone, not to fight a war. Numbers were useless.

"I definitely have to go." Lu bianren was the first to speak. He was the only one who had been to the South continent's sea, and he was also the only one who knew Qi Wenhan, so there was no doubt about this.

"I'll definitely go too. I came up with this idea. I'll fight whoever stops me!" Qiao hongcai quickly raised his hand and said.

"All the more reason for me to go. Junior Brother Lin has been taking care of me the most. Without him, I wouldn't be where I am today. If I don't go, am I still human?" The miserable senior brother continued.

"I came from the common world with boss Lin Yi, we've known each other for the longest time, and we're the closest. It'd be even more unreasonable if I didn't go!" Xiao ran followed.

When Xiao ran's voice fell, everyone's eyes were focused on Lee Zhengming. He was the only one left, and he was the one who should stay behind to guard the place. However, this guy said slowly,""Boss Lin Yi gave me my life, don't expect me to stay."

None of the five people were willing to stay, and one had a good reason to do so. Everyone looked at each other in dismay. What should they do? We can't just draw lots, right? Not to mention whether this method was feasible, the key was that no one would agree to it at all. What if he was chosen to stay?

After a moment of silence, Lu bianren made the final decision. After all, he was the most experienced and the most powerful among them, and he was also the most trusted person."How about this, Junior Brother ku and Junior Brother Xiao, you two stay here to guard the island. I'll go to the southern island with Hong Cai and Zheng Ming."

"Why?" The miserable senior brother and Xiao ran frowned in unison. Qiao hongcai and Li Zhengming were happy, but why should they stay ...

"The reason is very simple. One of you is the third Pavilion master of the welcoming new pavilion, while the other is the second senior brother of the outer sect of the GreenCloud Pavilion. Both of you hold important positions." Lu bianren explained to the two with a bitter smile.

What was particularly worth mentioning was that a month ago, Xiao ran suddenly jumped from the position of the eldest senior to the second senior. This was a huge promotion, and the difference in power between the two was a huge gap. Although the power of the second senior wasn't particularly great, this kind of opportunity was enough to make others envious.

One must know that even those second generation cultivators would have to pay a high price to get this position. Especially since Xiao ran had only joined the GreenCloud Pavilion for three years. Even if he had been the senior of the new manager for a year, it would still be difficult for him to show his qualifications.

In fact, this appointment had caused a huge controversy when it was first announced. 80% of the elders in the GreenCloud Pavilion slammed their hands on the table because of this. This was a gold-plated position that was specially prepared for their nephews. How could they give it to an outsider for no reason? furthermore, it was an outsider with no background!

Previously, the person who had occupied this position was Lu bianren, but ever since Lu bianren had disappeared for a long time, this position had automatically been vacated. Even after Lu bianren returned, he was not allowed to continue holding this position. The official reason was that he had automatically entered the inner sect of the GreenCloud Pavilion because he was already a jiedan stage disciple, but in reality, several elders of the GreenCloud Pavilion had already been secretly competing for this position, and some had even fought until their heads were bleeding.

In this situation, Xiao ran suddenly appeared. Wasn't that a slap to their faces? was that a joke?

However, this strange appointment was passed without any suspense in the end. This was because the person who made this suggestion was the eldest senior brother of the inner sect manager of the GreenCloud Pavilion, Jia mufan. More importantly, the pavilion master, Yu Zhenyang, had approved it in public. No matter how unwilling the elders were, they didn't dare to go against Yu Zhenyang over such a small matter.

No matter what, he was still the pavilion master of the GreenCloud Pavilion. Although Yu Zhenyang had always appeared to be harmless and kind in front of people like Shangguan Tianhua, if it was them, the elders of the GreenCloud Pavilion, this fellow would definitely not show any mercy. After all, he was a powerful existence who had walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

No one knew what Yu Zhenyang was thinking, and no one knew what Jia mufan was thinking. In any case, the result was that Xiao ran suddenly became the second senior brother, the outer sect steward of the GreenCloud Pavilion. From then on, he had officially entered the eyes of the higher-ups of the GreenCloud Pavilion, taking a solid step toward a position of real power.

"So what? senior brother Lu, you used to be the second senior brother in charge of the outer sect. Didn't you go to the southern island in the end?" The miserable senior brother and Xiao ran asked in unison.

"That's why I lost this position ..." Lu bianren shook his head with a bitter smile and said seriously,""Junior Brother ku, Junior Brother Xiao, we're only going to the southern island to look for someone, so we don't need a lot of manpower. More importantly, we don't know how long we'll be gone for. It's not strange for us to be gone for a year and a half. With your current position, it'll be a big problem if you disappear for more than a month."

"That's fine. At most, I don't want this position." Xiao ran said disapprovingly.

"That's right. My position as the third Pavilion master of the welcoming new pavilion was fought for by Junior Brother Lin. If something happens to him and I sit by and do nothing, I won't be able to sit in this position for long. It's better for me to not sit in this position. " The miserable senior brother nodded.

"Foolish!" Lu bianren suddenly pointed at their noses and scolded,""Since you know that it's junior Brother Lin's hard work, why did you throw it away so casually? do you think this is loyalty? You're completely stupid. You've let down Junior Brother Lin's efforts. How can you still have the face to look for him?"

After being scolded by Lu bianren, the miserable senior brother and Xiao ran immediately fell silent. After all, when they thought about it carefully, it was indeed the case.

"There's a reason why I asked the two of you to stay. Because of your positions, you can't leave for too long. The key is that the two of you are more or less important people. Even if others want to touch you, they have to think twice first. So, you are more suitable to stay and guard than hongcai and Zhengming, understand?" Lu bianren continued to persuade him.

"Alright, then we'll stay." The miserable senior brother and Xiao ran looked at each other and nodded. Just as Lu bianren had said, no matter how they looked at it, the two of them were the most suitable to stay behind and guard the North Island.

"Alright, in that case, let's go and see if there are any suitable trial missions." Lu bianren immediately decided.

Everyone immediately rushed to the North Island cultivators Association. Although Lu bianren could go directly to Jia mufan with his identity as an inner sect disciple, he couldn't bring Qiao hongcai and Li Zhengming along. (To be continued.)
