Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Grandpa, what are you saying?" Shangguan LAN 'er blushed and ran away in embarrassment. After a while, she returned with a small wooden box in her hand. She handed it to Shangguan Tianhua and said,""This is a gift from Junior Brother. Open it and take a look."

"Oh?" Shangguan Tianhua opened the wooden box. There were two items in it. One was an exquisite spiritual Jade bottle, and the other was wrapped in a red cloth. Shangguan Tianhua's eyes lit up."Star Ink milk? Baby ginseng? This kid is really generous!"

Be it the star Ink milk or the baby ginseng, they were both rare items in the world. It wasn't that Shangguan Tianhua's value would depreciate because of his status-even if they weren't useful to him, he could always give them to others. Besides, the baby ginseng and the star Ink milk could be used to make higher-grade elixirs. Lin Yi's return of favor this time was probably no less valuable than the tip-revealing spiritual tea.

"Hehe, this is nothing to Little Junior Brother!" Shangguan LAN 'er proudly raised her chin.

"Hehe, let's see how far he can go in the future. All right, little LAN 'er, since you've given him the ten thousand word mantra, you can make a new one yourself. This is our Shangguan family's ancestral study. It can't be gone just like that." Shangguan Tianhua said as he looked at his granddaughter playfully.

"Ah? 10,000 words! Grandpa, you must be joking, right?" Shangguan LAN 'er suddenly felt terrible.

"I'm not joking. I'll leave this important task to you. Take your time." Although Shangguan Tianhua was smiling, his tone was non-negotiable.

"Oh ..." Shangguan LAN 'er was completely listless now. She had no choice but to walk to the Super study room in a daze. How long would it take to write 10000 words of truth?

"That's good, let this girl toughen her heart. " Shangguan Tianhua smiled knowingly as he looked at the gift Lin Yi had given him. He couldn't help but recall what Lin Yi had just said. He snapped his fingers and said,"Find out the information about Xu lingchong and the group of people gathered under him. Arrange for someone to keep an eye on them."

Leaving the house, Lin Yi felt refreshed, not only because he had a drink, but also because he had learned the ten thousand word mantra. He only took a glance at it and knew that the words were not simple. He would find time to study it and learn something from it.

Lin Yi was planning to start refining immediately after returning to the pavilion, but he didn't expect someone to be waiting outside the courtyard. It was the manager of the inner sect, Jia mufan.

"Senior brother Jia, how have you been?" Lin Yi cupped his hands from afar.

"Junior Brother Lin, how have you been? you've made me wait." Jia mufan greeted him with a smile. This was the truth. He came to visit Lin Yi at dawn, but he didn't expect Lin Yi to be absent last night. As the inner sect's manager, his big senior brother had to wait outside for four hours. This could be considered a strange anecdote.

"Oh? Senior brother Jia is looking for me? Come, please come in!" Lin Yi quickly invited Jia mufan in.

"Hehe, Junior Brother Lin, you're the genius disciple that has received the most attention in our GreenCloud Pavilion. You've been away for such a long time, so as your senior brother, it's only right for me to come and take a look at you. What do you think?" Jia mufan said with a smile.

In fact, with Lin Yi's current strength and status, Jia mufan was planning to come as soon as he heard that Lin Yi had returned, especially after he learned that Lin Yi had crippled a mid-stage nascent soul cultivator with one move. He wanted to come as soon as possible yesterday, but Lin Yi and his friends were busy with the gathering and didn't invite him, so he delayed it until today.

"I've troubled senior brother Jia. This time, it was you who helped me cancel my mission. Furthermore, senior brother Lu, senior brother ku and the others also said that when they had a conflict with MA dang gun, it was thanks to you, senior brother Jia, that they were able to get out of the situation. I'll remember this favor for them. " Lin Yi said seriously.

As he spoke, Lin Yi started to brew the spiritual tea. Although it wasn't as professional as Shangguan LAN 'er' s, and wasn't the rare spiritual tea, it was still a high-quality spiritual tea, and it was refreshing to the mouth.

"Junior Brother Lin, you're being too serious. Lu bianren and the others are your senior brothers, but they're also my junior brothers. Since I happened to run into this, it's only natural that I step in to stop it. Otherwise, I, the eldest senior brother of the inner sect's steward, will be labeled as a 'dead body without a proper job'." Jia mufan said, shaking his head.

"Hehe, no matter what, I have to properly thank you, senior brother Jia. It's the GreenCloud Pavilion's good fortune to have a senior brother like you who's in charge of the inner sect." Lin Yi laughed. There were only a handful of people in the upper echelons of the pavilion that he liked, and Jia mufan was one of them.

"Junior Brother Lin, just because of your words, I really have to do my best in the future, even if I die." Jia mufan laughed and immediately said,"Junior Brother Lin, what are your plans?"

"Plan?" Lin Yi looked at Jia mufan in confusion.

"What I mean is, are you interested in taking on a position, like being the inner sect's second senior brother or something? After all, with great power comes great responsibility!" Jia mufan said with a deeper meaning.

"The inner sect's steward, second senior brother?" Lin Yi blinked, confused. "Isn't this the position to use as a weapon?"

"He's not suitable. " Jia mufan didn't hide anything and said directly,"If he was in this position before you came back, no one could object. But now, how can he still have the face to continue sitting in this position?"

"He retreated?" Lin Yi understood immediately. This was the same as him fighting for the number one residence-the higher-ups of the pavilion hadn't even come out to make a sound, and they were all acting like they didn't know anything about it. Those higher-ups who were supposed to be on the side of taking advantage of the situation had probably changed their stance after hearing what happened yesterday. They were really fence sitters.

"I won't hide it from you. Yesterday, I made a suggestion to the GreenCloud Pavilion's Elder Council to let you be the second senior brother of the inner sect. In the end, the elder Council unanimously agreed to it." Jia mufan's tone carried a trace of undisguisable ridicule.

Thinking back to the performance of those elders of the GreenCloud Pavilion, they were really jumping around like clowns. Previously, they were the ones who jumped up and down to take advantage of the situation, and now, they were also the ones who hit a person when he was down. If such a group of people were allowed to hold the high-level positions, it would be intolerable by the heavens if the GreenCloud Pavilion could still prosper!

Lin Yi couldn't help but smile coldly. These people took advantage of his absence and took room number one. He hadn't even settled the score with them yet, and they were already sitting on the fence ... Their eyes were pretty good ...

"Although I know that it's a waste of talent to let you take this position, Junior Brother Lin, with your ability, this is just a stepping stone for the transition!" (To be continued.)
