Beauty and the Bodyguard

After returning to his room, the mysterious man quickly sent a message to lingchong Xu, telling him to take pinliang to a secret room. Of course, it wasn't the core of the North Island base, but another secret room to hide from people.

"Zhong pinliang?" Lingchong froze as he looked at the note-he thought that the mysterious person was preparing to deal with Lin Yi. Why was there a strange order? was it wrong? It would be more appropriate for him to go with Meng Tong!

Although this was what she guessed in her heart, no matter how bold Xu lingchong was, she would not dare to change the mysterious person's warrant without permission. Who knew if there was a deeper meaning to it?

"Pinliang, come with me. The higher-ups specifically want to see you." Lingchong announced, suppressing his confusion. The others hadn't left yet, so Zhaoming and Meng Tong couldn't believe what they were hearing. Everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on pinliang.

Pinliang's face was blank, but his heart was filled with shock. He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. His first reaction was to think, did they find out that I was a spy?

In terms of status, he was only slightly higher than MA dang Qiang. Not to mention Xu lingchong, even Meng Tong was far inferior to him. At most, he was on par with Kang Zhaoming, or even worse. After all, he had the xuanchen ancestor as his backer on the middle Island, while Zhong pinliang had nothing.

Ever since he'd joined the organization, not only Zhong pinliang, but the others, including Meng Tong and Kang Zhaoming, had never been officially met by the mysterious man. This was an honor that only Xu lingchong had-if he wasn't exposed, why would this opportunity fall into his hands?

Pinliang couldn't help but feel his heart beat like a drum as he looked at the envious eyes of the crowd. It felt like something big was going to happen! Other than being exposed, there was no other explanation. If he followed Xu Ling to meet the mysterious person, wouldn't that be walking right into a trap?

Pinliang's face froze, and a chill ran down his spine. His legs froze for a long time.

"Let's go. What are you waiting for? You look like you've never seen the world!" Xu lingchong gave him a strange look, thinking that he was just too happy.

"Uh, yes," Pinliang quickly suppressed his fear as everyone looked at him with complicated expressions. He couldn't show it on his face right now, so he had to take it one step at a time.

Under the cover of the night, Xu lingchong and Zhong pinliang avoided the gazes of the guards of the three pavilions. They came to a barren slope quietly, with a small patch of dense pine trees at the top. The secret room was right below.

Pinliang's heart was beating like crazy as he followed behind lingchong. He wanted to run away a couple of times, but he managed to hold himself back. Lingchong was way stronger than him, after all. He wouldn't be able to run even if he wanted to.

The two waited in the secret room, one after another. Pinliang held his breath as he looked at the layout of the room carefully, planning his escape route in his mind. He'd have to fight to the death if he really couldn 't.

After waiting for a while, a gust of wind blew in front of them, and the mysterious man appeared in front of them. He was covered from head to toe in a black robe, making it impossible to see his face and body shape. Of course, pinliang didn't dare to look at him too much in this situation. He could only lower his head as much as he could, trying not to let the other person see his stiff expression.

"This subordinate pays his respects to senior!" Xu lingchong hurriedly knelt on one knee. Although he was highly regarded by the mysterious person, he still didn't know the other party's identity or his specific position. He only knew that the other party had an extremely high position and great power in the center, so he could only use a vague address like senior to greet him.

Pinliang didn't dare disobey-he followed lingchong's example and bowed even deeper, afraid that the other would see through his disguise.

The mysterious man was silent for a while, but he could feel the man's eyes on pinliang. He looked at pinliang up and down with suspicion before speaking up,"Zhong pinliang, hear my order!"

Pinliang's breath caught in his throat, and he couldn't stop his hands and feet from shaking no matter how hard he tried. What the f * ck was happening? did he really get exposed?

Xu lingchong, on the other hand, was stunned as well-so the order wasn't wrong! They really were looking for Zhong pinliang! When did the higher-ups start paying attention to this kid? It was really strange!

The mysterious man, on the other hand, looked at pinliang in surprise. The guy couldn't hide his nervousness at all, and the more he looked at pinliang, the weirder he felt. There was nothing special about this guy, why did Lil "bro Pao value him so much ...

"The higher-ups have ordered Zhong pinliang to be promoted as the central special envoy to the North Island, on the same level as Xu lingchong. His main task is to help me and another master manage the North Island division together." The mysterious man announced in an indifferent tone.

"Ah?" Pinliang froze at the words-he'd even prepared to die for them, and this was the result! Central's special envoy? Did he just get promoted for no reason?

Pinliang rubbed his head in confusion. He hadn't done anything recently, and he didn't contribute anything to central either. Why did he suddenly get a gift like this?

It wasn't just pinliang, even lingchong was speechless as she looked at the mysterious man. What was going on? How did pinliang get promoted all of a sudden? he didn't do anything at all, and now he was on the same level as him?

"This ... Senior, there's a saying that two tigers can't live on the same mountain. Zhong pinliang is my little brother, and you've made him my equal with just one sentence. It's hard for me to manage and convince the people ..." Lingchong Xu couldn't help but complain.

He didn't have much of an opinion about Zhong pinliang, but his follower suddenly being on the same level as him was something that anyone would be upset about, especially someone as proud as lingchong Xu.

Besides, he was the only candidate to be the North Island's special envoy, and now that Zhong pinliang had appeared, there were two of them. Wasn't it obvious that they were taking power from him?
