Beauty and the Bodyguard

“From Brother Lu’s tone, it seems like you don’t want to see me here?”

Lu Chunfeng shook his head and laughed.” What are you talking about, Brother Lin? I’ve said it before. Brother Lin is the person I want to befriend the most. No matter where I see him, I will only be happy.”

His tone was still cordial.

But Lin Yi could tell that it was the kind of affection he had for the leeks he planted.

After all, in the eyes of the other party, since he had already been planted with the seed of a strange product, it was a ready-made good leek, and it was the kind that was growing very vigorously.

Yang Bao couldn’t understand the meaning behind the words-he was caught in a dilemma as he watched the intimate interaction between Lu Chunfeng and Lin Yi.

It was obvious that Lu Chunfeng’s reputation with him was far greater than Zhao Feng, the only daughter of King Zhao!

If Zhao Feng wanted to bring Lin Yi in, he would reject her outright.

However, if Lu Chunfeng were to open his mouth next, he would have to think twice before refusing.

Moreover, Lu Chunfeng was not the only one involved. In today’s death match, Lu Chunfeng was the big sponsor behind the scenes. To a certain extent, he could be considered half the owner.

Should he listen to his master?

“I won’t disturb you and Miss Zhao. I’ll go in first.” Lu Chunfeng waved at Lin Yi after a simple and friendly greeting.

Then, he entered the Night Center Palace.

“Huh?”

“What’s going on?” Yang Bao did not react for a moment.

Luckily, he wasn’t stupid and understood immediately that Lu Chunfeng was deliberately ignoring Lin Yi.

Yang Bao immediately revealed a sinister smile again.” Brat, if I were you, I would have begged Young Master Lu to open his mouth and let you off. It’s a pity that you’re not smart enough!”

“I’m indeed not smart.”

Lin Yi nodded seriously before changing the topic.

“Is that so? You can only say a few trash words.”

Yang Bao laughed out loud.” I don’t care what your background is. You’ve already stepped on my Ye Yang Palace’s warning line. Even if I kill you now, it’ll be logical.”

After saying that, he was about to make a move.

He had already thought it through. Since Lu Chunfeng had such an attitude, it meant that if he attacked Lin Yi today, he would be able to get points from Lu Chunfeng.

As long as he could seize this opportunity and climb up to Lu Chunfeng’s high branch, why would he have to bitterly stay in the Night Center Palace to guard the door?

Don’t forget, he was also a powerful royal power. He also wanted to save face.

If Lu Chunfeng had not been there today, he might have considered it in the end. After all, it was not worth it to take such a risk just for a job as a gatekeeper.

But now, he no longer had any worries.

“Die.”

Lin Yi’s face twisted in his eyes, turning into the word ‘death’.

Yang Bao was full of confidence. Ever since he had attained great success in his strength, as long as it was an opponent that he had drawn the word ‘death’, none of them had been able to escape from his hands alive.

After so many years, there was not a single one.

However, just as he was about to make his move, the word ‘death’ that was already extremely clear in front of him suddenly turned illusory and blurry.

Lin Yi turned around and smiled at him.

“Third Uncle, you’re here.”

Yang Bao was shocked. Then, he heard Qi Zhuiyun’s voice coming from behind him.

“What are you doing here? Aren’t you going in?”

As he spoke, Qi Zhuiyun had already approached him.

Yang Bao’s expression changed drastically. He hurriedly turned around and wanted to bow.

Qi Zhuiyun’s status was not something that these top-notch second-generation heirs could compare to. He was a powerful figure in the Qi Imperial Residence, a true top-notch expert of the royal power. Not to mention that he was just a gatekeeper, he did not dare to show any neglect. Even if it was the entire Night Center Palace, it would be the same.

However, Qi Zhuiyun did not even look at him.

“No invitation.” Lin Yi shrugged.

“Invitation letter? There’s such a thing in this lousy place?”

Qi Zhuiyun was taken aback. He was treated better than Zhao Feng. The higher-ups of the Night Palace had taken the initiative to accompany him on his first visit. Why would he need an invitation?

The fact that he was willing to come here was already giving face to the Night Palace.

“You said that?” Qi Zhuiyun glanced at Yang Bao.

Yang Bao immediately sat on the spot. His face was as red as a pig’s liver. He stammered,” Please forgive me, Minister Qi. Other than important people like you, if anyone else wants to enter, they do need to show an invitation. This is the rule of the Night Center Palace.”

“Are you using rules to pressure me?”

” What?” Qi Zhuiyun raised his eyelids.” Since when is it your Night Center Palace’s turn to set the rules in the Inner Court?”

At this moment, all the gazes outside were focused on him.

Yang Bao did not dare to speak anymore.

If he were to say anything wrong at this moment, not only would it bring disaster to himself, but it would also bring disaster to the entire Night Palace.

Once Wanqi Zhuiyun grasped hold of this weakness, he would immediately be labeled as a traitor. Whether or not the Night Palace could withstand it was one thing, but at the very least, Yang Bao would definitely be pushed out as a scapegoat.

There was no doubt about this.

Fortunately, Qi Zhuiyun’s target today was not the Night Palace. As a true core figure of power, he knew how much weight the Night Palace held.

It was fine to give him a few words of warning, but if he really wanted to do it, even he would have to think twice.

“You want Lin Yi to show you his invitation, right?”

“Alright, I’ll give it to you on his behalf.” Qi Zhuiyun changed the topic.

Yang Bao could not help but be stunned. No need…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Qi Zhuiyun had already slapped him in the face. The right side of his cheek was visibly dented, and half of his teeth were sent flying.

Everyone fell into a dead silence.

The other guards of the Night Center Palace were on guard against a great enemy, but none of them dared to move.

If they dared to attack Qi Zhuiyun, it would be equivalent to challenging the entire King Qi Residence. Especially since Qi Zhuiyun was publicly acknowledged as a top-notch expert of the royal family. To a certain extent, he represented the face of the Inner Royal Court. No matter how powerful the Night Palace’s underground forces were, how many of them would dare to challenge the Inner Royal Court?

That was the style of the Elysium, not the style of their Night Center Palace.

Making a fortune in silence was what Night Palace had decided upon.

” I’ve shown you the invitation. Let’s go in.”

Qi Zhuiyun gave Lin Yi a look and led the way.

As for Yang Bao’s reaction, he did not care at all. At his level, not killing him with a single slap was already showing mercy. When he turned around, not only did the Night Palace not dare to find trouble with him, they even sent their higher-ups to apologize.

Lin Yi called out to Zhao Feng and entered.

Lin Yi turned around to take a look at Yang Bao when he felt the venomous gaze behind him. Yang Bao’s face changed instantly, and he was terrified.

Just because of Lin Yi’s glance, the familiar word ‘death’ was transferred to his own face.

This was the most direct warning of death.

Yang Bao quickly retracted his gaze and lowered his head like an ostrich. He was drenched in cold sweat and didn’t dare to look at Lin Yi anymore.

His strong intuition told him that if he continued to provoke him, he would die at any moment.

This most direct fear of death was far more sobering than Qi Zhuiyun’s level of oppression.
