Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Deputy sect leader Chen was impulsive and offended Grand Elder. Grand Elder knows about this and is extremely angry. He has decided to punish Deputy sect leader Chen personally. However, sect leader Hong has not returned yet. The sect's Affairs are complicated and can not be handled without a leader. I hope Grand Elder can be magnanimous and let Deputy sect leader Chen off for the sake of the sect. Let him apologize to you personally. What do you think?" As he spoke, Lu Pingan carefully observed Lin Yi's every expression, afraid to miss any useful information.

"Is this the Grand elder's intention?" Lin Yi looked at him from the corner of his eyes.

"Yes." Lu Pingan nodded. If it was his own idea, he believed that the other party wouldn't even bother to talk to him, because it was meaningless.

Lin Yi's reaction, however, surprised him."Since it's his idea, why didn't he come to talk himself?"

"..." Lu Pingan was speechless. This guy didn't play by the rules. At this point, shouldn't he be clear that he was a Messenger? wouldn't it be better to give each other some leeway? did he have to be the king from the start?

If they really did, Lin Yi might not be able to get anything out of it. What if the Grand Elder decided to turn on him?

"Martial granduncle, in this disciple's opinion, you shouldn't be in a hurry to meet with the Grand Elder. Before the two of you reach a certain tacit understanding, it's more appropriate for this disciple to run the errands for you, right?" Lu Ping said after calming himself down.

If both parties wanted to sit down and talk, they had to at least confirm that both parties had the intention to negotiate. Otherwise, if they were to flip the table when they didn't agree with each other, there would be no point in talking!

Lin Yi looked at him from the corner of his eyes and smiled,"Your meaning is that I first negotiate with you, you relay the conditions to Grand Elder, and then let him decide whether to accept it or not, and then you run over to discuss the conditions with me. Is this what you mean?"

Lu Pingan opened his mouth to correct it, but in the end, he nodded. That was what he meant. Correcting the words would only make the words less unpleasant, but it wouldn't change the essence at all. He had already thought it through. It was useless to say nice words to people like Lin Yi, because he didn't play by the rules at all.

"Have you all misunderstood something?" Lin Yi suddenly smiled.

"What?" Lu Pingan was stunned.

"The current situation isn't that I have a favor to ask of you. It's that you have a favor to ask of me, isn't it?" Lin Yi grinned, calm and composed.

"This ..." Lu Pingan frowned and said in a deep voice,""Indeed, Deputy sect leader Chen's condition is worrying. Grand Elder hopes that you can forgive him and let him go. But then again, from your perspective, I'm afraid it's better to not let anything happen to him, right?"

"Hehe, from my perspective, I'm just cleaning up the house. You're thinking too much." Lin Yi said nonchalantly.

"..." If it wasn't for the task Chen Jiu had given him, Lu Pingan really didn't want to stay here and waste his breath. This guy had no awareness or sincerity to negotiate at all. He was completely like a troublemaker who couldn't be put in with a needle or splashed with water. What the hell could they talk about?

"Could it be that martial granduncle really intends to shed all pretenses of cordiality with the entire green cloud School on the North Island?" Lu Pingan had no choice but to point it out. Such words should not appear in a negotiation. When they did, it was basically not far from the end of the negotiation.

"You guess." Lin Yi's answer was so irresponsible that it made people want to vomit blood.

Lu Pingan was about to go crazy, but he could only force himself to continue,""I don't think so, because it's not good for you and the disciples of the secular world who came with you. Even if you don't think for yourself, you should think for them, right?"

"Could it be that Grand Elder has already set his sights on them?" Lin Yi was surprised,"The Grand Elder is a Yuanying stage master, I didn't expect his style of doing things to be so unique?"

It was said to be unique, but in fact, it was despicable and shameless.

"This ..." Lu Pingan couldn't help but choke. Even if it was really Chen Jiu's intention, he couldn't let Chen Jiu take the blame for this. He hurriedly added,""Martial granduncle, don't misunderstand. Grand Elder doesn't have such intentions, and we are the same. It's just that everything has to be considered, right?"

"Since you don't mean it that way, then what are you doing? you made me get a false alarm, and I thought that the Grand Elder was going to make a move on them." Lin Yi said, annoyed.

"..." Lu Pingan really wanted to throw a false alarm at his face. He had already made it very clear, and it was obvious that he meant it. There was no one else who could pretend that he did not understand. Could they still negotiate happily?!

"What are you still doing here? Why don't you quickly convey my intentions to the Grand Elder?" Lin Yi urged.

"Ah?" Lu Pingan was once again dumbfounded. They hadn't even talked about anything. From the perspective of a negotiation, it wasn't even a hot topic. How did it end? Speaking of which, what exactly did you mean?

"What" ah "? I don't have time to waste with you. Next time, remember clearly that if you really want to talk, let the Grand Elder come and talk. Otherwise, I won't receive you." Lin Yi said directly.

At this point, even if Lu Pingan's skin was thick, he couldn't stay any longer. He could only leave embarrassedly.

After returning to the mountain peak and listening to Lu Pingan's dejected report, Chen Jiu's already gloomy face instantly turned even uglier.""I asked you to test Lin Yi's bottom line and attitude, what did you get out of that?"

"Disciple is ashamed." Lu Pingan's face was full of shame and anger. He couldn't be blamed for not doing his job well, but Fang Lin Yi's methods were too wild. From the beginning to the end, he didn't play his cards well. What was he supposed to do?

"Hmph, then tell me what you want to do next. Do you really want this old man to come out personally?" Chen Jiu coldly snorted.

"That's definitely not possible. Master, you can't act rashly until the last step. Otherwise, you'll really be led by the nose by him." Lu Pingan shook his head and muttered,""Although this disciple's face was covered in dust this time, but thinking about it carefully, it can't be said that I didn't gain anything. At least one thing is certain, he didn't really want to shed all pretenses of cordiality with us, otherwise when this disciple asked him directly, he would not have avoided answering,"

"I've already expected this. " Chen Jiu frowned, thinking that it was impossible for Lin Yi to fall out with him. If he did, he'd just have to stay at ascending heaven cliff for the rest of his life.
