Beauty and the Bodyguard

Although Leng Leng and Duanmu Yu had lost their ability to move at the same time, neither of them had lost their minds. It seemed like they were desperately trying to mobilize the true Qi in their bodies. Under such circumstances, whoever could stand up first would definitely be the winner.

As long as they waited patiently, there would be a result. However, as Lin Yi said, the two of them would suffer from the side effects of the cold if this dragged on. Compared to winning or losing this battle, the two of them were more important.

In this case, the result was a big problem. After all, there had never been a tie in the trial Competition before, and this match directly concerned the right to participate in the primordial trial. Whoever lost would be eliminated. Even Xin Yijie couldn't easily make a conclusion.

"Of course, we're waiting for them to stand up on their own." Xue Jianfeng snorted coldly. He didn't care about Duanmu Yu's abilities. However, if he could use this opportunity to cripple Leng Leng, that would be for the best.

"That's impossible. Both Leng Leng and Duanmu Yu are outstanding genius disciples. If something were to happen to them, not only would the spirit leaf sect not agree to it, but even the higher-ups of your snow sword sect might not agree to it. " Xin Yijie immediately retorted,""I am the person in charge of this Trial Competition. I have the right to make arbitrary decisions. I can't do such a stupid thing as letting them be frozen alive."

Xue Jianfeng choked. Xin Yijie had the absolute right to speak, which he couldn't compare to. He could only take a step back and say,""Then what do you want to do? Is he going to side with coold? Although she's a member of snow sword sect, I have to say that Duanmu Yu clearly has the upper hand in his performance just now. For the sake of fairness, I feel that Duanmu Yu should be considered as the winner. "

Hearing this, Xin Yijie was stunned. His heart was naturally biased towards coold, but the situation just now was indeed as Xue Jianfeng had said. If they were to force coold to win, not only would Duanmu Yu be unconvinced, but the others would probably say that he was sitting on a crooked chair.

"I don't think so. Why don't you think about who used the ice prison mirror Shatterer? if it wasn't for the power of the ice prison mirror Shatterer, how could this happen? no matter how you look at it, this should be a cold strike." Lin Yi immediately stood out and argued. This was related to Leng Leng's qualification to enter the ancient trials, so he naturally wouldn't just sit back and do nothing.

"A preemptive strike? You've frozen yourself to this state after you've struck, are you trying to make me laugh to death?" Xue Jianfeng scoffed.

"If it's really that funny, why haven't you died of laughter yet?" Ziyu stuck out her tongue.

"You!" Xue Jianfeng's eyes turned cold as he subconsciously wanted to teach this arrogant brat a lesson, but Lin Yi's stare sent shivers down his spine. He had no choice but to put the thought away as he muttered to himself,"this guy's only a Foundation peak, how could he have such a terrifying aura?"

"Since the public and the woman have their own reasons, why don't we all participate in the vote? Each sect's leading senior brother will have one vote each, whoever gets the most votes wins. " Xin Yijie said after some thought.

"I have no objections. Let them begin their treatment." Lin Yi said with a look. If Xin Yijie had more courage, he would've gone against all the opinions of the people and made a decision on his own instead of using this kind of method to smooth things over. It looked like he didn't offend anyone, but it was actually bad for either side. The only good thing was that even if the higher-ups of the ancient Alliance pursued this matter, they wouldn't have to take responsibility. After all, this was the will of the people.

It couldn't be helped-Xin Yijie was just that kind of person. He seemed honest and honest, but he was also tactful. He'd be easy to talk to during normal times, but he'd just play it safe in times of danger. Lin Yi wasn't surprised at all.

"Haha, you're such a narcissist. You're not the leader of some ancient sect, you don't even have the right to vote. What opinions do you have?" Xue Jianfeng taunted.

"Who said there isn 't!" Xin Yijie snorted and immediately announced,""Martial granduncle is the most respected person present in the green cloud School of the North Island. Whoever our green cloud School wants to vote for, of course, it's up to martial granduncle to decide."

He knew that he'd made Lin Yi unhappy by asking everyone to vote, and he had to think of a way to fix it. Letting Lin Yi decide was the same as voting for coold, and it was an apology.

"Alright then, I'll give my vote to coold." Lin Yi said without holding back.

"Some people are really blinded by lust, but I'm different. In such a situation, of course I have to follow the public opinion. My snow sword sect will vote for Duanmu Yu." Snow Jianfeng retorted.

He had completely forgotten about Bing Wuqing's existence when he said those words. It should be known that Bing Wuqing was above him in both strength and status. Furthermore, Bing Wuqing had come out of the secular world as the martial uncle of snow sword sect. So, it was reasonable for him to make the decision, not Xue Jianfeng.

Feeling a chill on his back, Xue Jianfeng immediately reacted and hurriedly tried to remedy the situation,"Martial uncle Bing must have the same intention, right?"

Bing Wuqing didn't utter a word. It was normal for him to express his dissatisfaction with Xue Jianfeng's decision, but it would be too obvious if he were to vote for coold by force. So, he could only maintain his usual style of doing nothing.

After this, the other senior martial brothers of the other ancient sects also expressed their opinions, and Xin Yijie quickly obtained the results.

"Coold has seven votes and Duanmu Yu has four. So, according to the voting results, coold should be the winner of this round." Xin Yijie announced.

"Why would I?" Xue Jianfeng was extremely surprised-this result was beyond his expectations. He thought that with his golden core strength and his reputation, he would be able to get a hundred people to respond to his call, and the other ancient sect leaders would all follow him. Who would've thought that everyone would go and suck up to Lin Yi!

It was true that Xue Jianfeng's golden core strength was indeed a bit scary, but in the end, he was only an early golden core Master. At most, he could only deter the crowd, but it was too much to think that everyone would agree with him.

Every ancient sect had a bunch of golden core stage experts, even if they really sucked up to Xue Jianfeng, what good would it do them?

But Lin Yi was different. Everyone knew that he didn't lack spirit jades-he was a true gold Master, and after so many days of the competition, they could see that this Lin Yi did have almost all the ancient sect's counter moves. Just these two points alone made Lin Yi far more valuable to them than Xue Jianfeng. (To be continued.)
