Beauty and the Bodyguard

"In the future, I will definitely be able to soar to the heavens. This step is just to gain some experience. What do you think, Junior Brother Lin?" Seeing that Lin Yi wasn't interested, Jia mufan decided to be the persuader.

"I appreciate senior brother Jia's good intentions. I heard that Xiao ran was able to become the second senior brother of the outer sect steward because of you, senior brother Jia. You have really done your best for us. I, your Junior Brother, am very grateful." Lin Yi thanked him sincerely before shaking his head."But let me be the inner sect's steward, second Shixiong, let's forget about this matter. Shixiong Jia, you should know that I don't like these things. It's too troublesome to be entangled in worldly affairs."

Lin Yi had a very clear goal for his future development, and his vision was never limited to the GreenCloud Pavilion. The position of managing the inner sect, second senior, seemed like a good position, but there were bound to be all sorts of trivial things that would take up a lot of his energy-he'd rather spend that time on cultivation!

"Hehe, I understand that. However, this was actually Pavilion master Yu's idea. It's not good for me to reject him directly. Otherwise, it would seem like there's some conflict between you and me." Jia mufan said with a bitter smile.

"I see, but I really don't have such plans." Lin Yi paused before suggesting,"From what I know, although senior brother Lu bianren's strength is slightly weaker, he's still one of the most experienced elders in our GreenCloud Pavilion. Furthermore, he's also trained in various important positions before this. From what I know, he's about to have a breakthrough soon, so why don't we consider him?"

"This ..." Jia mufan suddenly hesitated. Lu bianren's qualifications were indeed not bad, but with his current strength, he clearly didn't meet the requirements to become the inner sect steward, second Shixiong.

Any random inner sect disciple was a golden core stage disciple. In theory, if he wanted to become the inner sect steward, he had to be at least at the late stage of the Golden core stage to convince the masses. However, Lu bianren was currently only at the middle stage of the Golden core stage. Even if he was about to break through, he was only at the peak of the middle stage of the Golden core stage. He was still a distance away from this minimum strength threshold.

With Lin Yi's current strength and status, no one would dare to say no if he got the position of the inner sect's manager, but if it was Lu bianren, the entire Qingyun Pavilion's Elder Council would be in an uproar, not to mention those ambitious disciples.

But since it was Lin Yi's idea, Jia mufan couldn't reject it directly. He said,"Alright, then I'll report this to Pavilion master Yu and put Lu bianren on the list of people to be nurtured. The position of inner sect manager second senior brother can be left to him, but before that, Junior Brother Lin has to be the transition, because only after you step down in this position can you recommend Lu bianren. This way, we can shut up the mouths of the people and not let Junior Brother Lu suffer too much resistance."

"Alright!" Lin Yi thought about it and agreed. He knew that this was a bit too much-even if Lu bianren was a backup candidate, if he didn't hold the position in his hands first and let someone else take it away, the other party wouldn't give it up, and Lu bianren would have to wait God knows when.

Jia mufan let out a breath of relief. If Lin Yi didn't want to be the inner sect's second Shixiong anymore, not being able to complete Yu Zhenyang and the elder Council's orders was secondary. The key was that he himself would be on tenterhooks. The reason why Lin Yi didn't like the second Shixiong was because he liked the first Shixiong.

Jia mufan wasn't afraid of anyone else, but he had no confidence in facing a super genius like Lin Yi. This was the next Gongyang Jie, and no matter how extraordinary Jia mufan thought himself to be, he couldn't stop this guy!

"Junior Brother Lin, you don't like to be tied up with miscellaneous things. You don't have to worry about that. You can leave all the miscellaneous things to me. As for Junior Brother Lin, you can do what you did in the past and in the future. That shouldn't be a problem, right?" Jia mufan said with a smile.

"Then I'll have to trouble senior brother Jia." Lin Yi nodded.

"Haha, there's no need to trouble me. I'm a hardworking person. I was the inner sect's steward for a long time, second senior brother. I'm familiar with these things." Jia mufan smiled and said in an honest tone,"To be honest, it's a blessing for me that you're willing to let go. You should know that a big reason for the position of the second senior brother in charge of the inner sect is to check and balance me, the eldest senior brother in charge of the inner sect. It's really a headache for me to let that arrogant MA dang Qiang sit on the top."

Lin Yi laughed as well. MA dang Qiang was an arrogant person, and he might not even put Jia mufan in his eyes. Having a guy like this under him who went against him in everything, especially a high-profile super newcomer King, no one in Jia mufan's position would feel good.

However, Lin Yi could see that Jia mufan was passionate about power, while he didn't care about it at all. They could be said to be two extremes, but Lin Yi wouldn't have any ill feelings towards Jia mufan because of this.

Jia mufan was a good person, and working with him wasn't a bad thing for Lin Yi. It was a pleasant cooperation.

After the business was done, Jia mufan chatted for a while more before leaving. Lin Yi sent him off and started his closed-door cultivation.

This time, he wasn't going into seclusion to cultivate, but purely to make pills. It wasn't just the heavenly elixir Pavilion that was in need of pills, even the people around Lin Yi needed them. For example, Lu bianren was on the verge of breaking through, but without the help of a golden core, who knew how long he would be stuck at the bottleneck?

With his previous experience, making golden cores, golden cores, and other types of pills, even the Golden core, was a walk in the park for Lin Yi. In five days, he'd made three digits worth of pills, and over 80% of them were supreme quality. He had to say that the godly pesticide cauldron was a godly tool for making elixirs.

After coming out, Lin Yi immediately gathered Lu bianren and the others together and gave a portion of the pills to Lu bianren for safekeeping. After all, he was the strongest of the group, and he was always the most reliable.

Lin Yi decided to let Lu bianren distribute the pills according to each person's strength level. Otherwise, with Qiao hongcai's impatient nature, he might just eat them right away ...

Lin Yi did this because he'd learned his lesson. He'd been missing from the southern island for two years, and everyone had to rely on themselves. Although they'd improved a lot faster than normal people, they still lacked the help of pills! (To be continued.)
