Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Since that's the case, I'll take my leave first. Master Lin, rest well. We'll meet again tonight." Zhuang Yifan understood immediately. He thought that Lin Yi was only trying to maintain his image in front of him. If he didn't know what was good for him and left, it would be troublesome if something happened to this young Mystic first level.

"Alright, let's meet again tonight." Lin Yi stood up to see him out.

However, before the two of them left the living room, Zhuang Yifan suddenly stopped in his tracks and said meaningfully,"Every year, after the end of the road to becoming a Big Shot, there will be a celebration banquet. Every school will send people to attend. I feel that there is no better time than today. Why don't we just join the banquet today? what do you think, Master Lin?"

"This is a matter for the Alliance of schools. President Zhuang, you can arrange it. I have no objections." Lin Yi looked at him, surprised. Was it really necessary to discuss this with an outsider?

"Then it's decided. Master Lin, you can ask Chancellor li to come along. Just say that I have reserved a seat for him at the main table." Zhuang Yifan smiled profoundly, then left.

"Hehe, this Zhuang Yifan knows how to conduct himself well." Lin Yi smiled as he watched the man leave. It was obvious what Zhuang Yifan was trying to do-he was trying to do the Morning Star Academy a favor. There were so many golden class Academies out there, and the morning Star Academy might not even get a seat at the main table. It was a rare opportunity for them to show their face.

After Zhuang Yifan left, Huo yudie, Wang Xinyan, and Huang xiaotao rushed into the room, followed by Liu Ziyu and Li Ren.

"How is it? What did President Zhuang say?" Huo yudie couldn't wait to ask. She'd already heard the whole story from Wang Xinyan and the others, but she was still worried for Lin Yi. Lin Yi had only used the name of Mystic first level to scare Zhuang Yifan, but if the other party came back to his senses, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Nothing much. He asked me to help him refine pills and I agreed. It's that simple." Lin Yi shrugged as if nothing had happened.

"You agree? What he wants to refine should be a profound grade pill, can you really refine it?" Huo yudie was shocked. Liu Ziyu and Li Ren also looked surprised when they heard this. Only Wang Xinyan and Huang xiaotao remained calm. They were already used to it.

"Won't we know if this kind of thing works after we try?" Lin Yi smiled, a little playful."Even a Mystic first level Alchemist can't guarantee success every time. If I fail this time, that's normal, right?"

"I see!" The crowd finally understood why Lin Yi dared to lie to someone as important as Zhuang Yifan.

If it was just a simple lie, it would be almost impossible to fool Zhuang Yifan. Even if he could fool him at the start, he would be exposed later on. Lin Yi's lie was brilliant because it might not be a lie. It might become a reality, and even if it didn 't, there would be a reasonable explanation. Only by being half-true and half-false could he be invincible.

"By the way, Zhuang Yifan said that he's going to hold a celebration party tonight. Chancellor li, he also said that he's reserved a seat for you at the main table." Lin Yi said.

"What? Isn't the celebration party usually held at the headquarters in Thunder City after the trial is over? why did it suddenly be brought forward to now?" Li Ren didn't react for a moment. After a moment of shock, he stammered,""There's a seat for me ... At the main table?"

"That's right, that's what he said. So, you should get ready. We'll go together tonight." Lin Yi nodded.

"This is a great surprise!" Li Ren took a deep breath and saluted Lin Yi seriously,"Master Lin, on behalf of the Morning Star Academy, I thank you for your great kindness!"

"Haha, you're too kind, Chancellor li. I've been bothering you at the morning stars Academy for so long. This is something I should do. Besides, if you really want to thank someone, you should thank Zhuang Yifan. He was the one who suggested it." Lin Yi shook his head with a smile.

"No, if it weren't for you, why would President Zhuang take care of our morning stars Academy?" Li Ren waved his hand and explained,"Master Lin, you might not know this yet. The annual celebration banquet is supposed to celebrate the road to becoming a Big Shot. In reality, it's related to the re-ranking of all the Golden class schools. The closer the school is to the main table, the more attention the Alliance will give them. They will get more resources for cultivation! Only a few of the most elite golden class Academies have ever been able to occupy a seat at the main table. They're all thunderclap Academy, ding City Academy, and the like. Our Morning Star Academy has never received such an honor before!"

The more Li Ren spoke, the more excited he became, and in the end, his face was glowing red. If he could represent the morning stars Academy and take the main table, although it was all thanks to Lin Yi, as the libation leading the team, it would be a great contribution for him. He would be heavily rewarded when he returned to the Academy, rising three levels in a row and reaching the clouds!

"So there's such a thing. This means that Zhuang Yifan has really given me a valuable gift." Lin Yi said.

He'd thought that they'd just be showing their faces for a meal, but there was a deeper meaning behind it. Zhuang Yifan was trying to show that he had the ability to help the Morning Star School rise to the top, but of course, Lin Yi had to help him with the pill first. Otherwise, he could easily trample on the Morning Star School.

"Ever since President Zhuang took over the Alliance, he's always been balanced. He rarely takes the initiative to support a school. It's only a matter of time before your school rivals the top schools in the future. It's worth celebrating." Liu Ziyu said with a smile, but her expression was a little complicated.

This was a good thing to gain both fame and fortune. To the morning stars Academy, it was naturally a great thing. However, to the morning Pride Academy, it was not so good. Their arch-enemy had suddenly soared. No matter who stood in the position of the morning Pride Academy, they would not be able to laugh.

"Same to you, same to you." Li Ren was still immersed in ecstasy at this time. He only reacted after he subconsciously finished speaking. His expression suddenly became very embarrassed. The other party was the Vice President of the school of Morning Pride. How could they be happy together?!

For a while, the atmosphere in the living room became a little strange. As a guest, Liu Ziyu felt a little uneasy. As the host, Li Ren also looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say. The scene suddenly entered a stalemate.

Lin Yi spoke up all of a sudden."Vice Principal Liu, Chancellor Li, I have an idea. I wonder if the two of you are willing to listen?" (To be continued.)
