Beauty and the Bodyguard

In everyone’s eyes, he was an unfathomable top-notch expert of the royal power, a transcendental existence that was on par with people like Marquis Wu Wudi.

Not only was Minister Han respectful to him, even King Han himself was respectful to him.

If it were anyone else, they would have been dragged away to be punished.

To the Han Imperial Residence, the Jinghai Enclave was extremely important. It could be said to be the most important real estate of the Han Imperial Residence.

Anyone who dared to stick their claws in would be chopped off without hesitation.

With Lin Yi’s actions, even if he was willing to pledge his loyalty to King Han, King Han would have to think twice before accepting this dog that came to him.

However, Han Wu did not even say hello and agreed directly.

More importantly, he didn’t even arrange for Lin Yi to pledge his loyalty in person!

Everyone couldn’t help but suspect that this Master Han the Fifth might have some kind of ulterior motive, taking some kind of commission from that Lin Yi, or maybe that Lin Yi was someone he arranged?

“Fifth Lord, you’ve always been reliable in handling matters. It’s precisely because of this that I’m relieved to entrust such an important matter to you.” King Han could not help but be puzzled.

“Of course, I’ve never doubted you, Lord Fifth. It’s the same now.”

“But since everyone has doubts, Fifth Lord, why don’t you tell everyone your thoughts?”

“There’s one thing that King and everyone else don’t know. I saw Lin Yi fighting with Marquis Wu when I went over.” Han Wu said calmly.

“Wu Wudi?” Everyone was shocked.

These three words were the iconic words of the Inner Court. Hearing this name, even the seven kings were moved.

It was not an exaggeration to say that Wu Wudi was the benchmark for top-notch royal power. This was something that the entire Inner Court recognized.

“That Lin Yi actually has the qualifications to fight Wu Wudi?” Changshi Han was surprised.

“Wu Wudi is in his hands. He didn’t get the upper hand,” Han Wu said calmly after observing everyone’s reactions.

Everyone fell silent.

Strictly speaking, Han Wu’s words weren’t a lie. At least, Lin Yi didn’t lose out on the surface.

However, when he said those words, especially in this situation, the meaning he expressed was completely different.

Han Wang’s eyes twitched, unable to hide his shock,” That Lin Yi is actually on the same level as Marquis Wu?”

Han Wu was silent.

Everyone was even more shocked. Silence meant tacit agreement!

“Has Fifth Master tested him?” Han Changshi asked.

In the eyes of him and the others, Han Wu himself wasn’t any weaker than Wu Wudi. If Lin Yi could take Han Wu’s test, it would confirm Lin Yi’s strength.

” There’s always someone better than you,” Han Wu said faintly.

Everyone was shocked.

Someone couldn’t help but mutter,” I’ve always thought that all the experts in the world are in the inner palace. Other than that, be it the six great flying lands or the Divine Kingdom on land, they’re just shallow waters that can’t nurture a true dragon. It seems that I’m too shallow.”

The rest of the people felt the same.

If it was just an expert at the level of Chief Han, they could barely understand. After all, the world was a big place and there were exceptions to everything. However, now that a top-notch existence comparable to Wu Wudi and Han Wu had appeared, it was a little subversive.

“If that’s the case, then this Lin Yi isn’t going to be easy to deal with.”

Everyone nodded in unison.

What a joke, that was the strongest royal power. Even if he was placed in the various imperial palaces, he would be a transcendent figure who could carry the cauldron!

With the strength of the Han Imperial Residence, if they wanted to take down an existence of this level head-on, they would have to mobilize at least half of their core combat strength. Even so, they would have to pay a considerable price of casualties. They were not even 100% confident.

Now that the high-level spy, Chief Han, had just been exposed, King Qin’s Mansion was obviously eyeing them like a tiger eyeing its prey. With internal and external troubles, who would dare to make such a big move?

Han Wu said,” Now is the time to use people. Our focus must be on King Qin’s mansion. We can’t fall into unnecessary internal friction. So I took the initiative and reached a consensus with Lin Yi. I gave him the right to do things freely in the Jinghai area, and he promised to help us in the future.”

“Is that true?”

King Han was delighted.

If the same thing happened to other cultivators, it would be a bloody loss. However, if it could be exchanged for the loyalty of a top-notch royal power, it would be a bloody profit!

One had to know that among the seven Imperial Mansions, his Imperial Han Residence was the weakest. Otherwise, it would not have attracted the blatant covetous eyes of the Imperial Qin Residence.

If he could really gain an additional top-tier combat strength because of this matter, he would have to burn incense to his ancestors!

Han Wu nodded slightly.” I’ve observed Lin Yi. He’s strong, but he’s not an unreasonable person. As long as we give him enough respect, he’ll return the favor. If we underestimate him, he’ll definitely retaliate.”

Han Wang nodded,” That’s normal. All the top masters have their pride. If they didn’t have that pride, they wouldn’t be where they are today. Master Five, you’ve done a great service for us by winning Lin Yi over this time.”

The rest of the royal powerhouses quickly echoed in unison.

“Your Majesty, you flatter me. It’s all part of my duty.”

Han Wu heaved a sigh of relief.

This round of muddling through looked easy at first glance, but it was actually extremely dangerous. If the Han King’s trust in him was slightly reduced and he sent someone to the Jinghai Flying Land to investigate, he might be exposed in minutes.

Fortunately, he had always set his standards high enough, including the King of Han himself, so he would not easily question and refute.

But then again, he didn’t know how strong Lin Yi was.

Indeed, Lin Yi’s strength wasn’t too high or too low, only two hundred and seventy.

However, even a person like him who only had the appearance could turn his combat strength into a blank. Who dared to say that Lin Yi’s two hundred and seventy combat strength was accurate?

Seeing that the outcome was set, Guardian Han looked at Han Wu’s indifferent expression, but he still muttered in his heart.

An invincible existence suddenly appeared. Was this really possible?

However, because of Han Wu’s usual arrogance, in this situation, even if Han Changshi was the second most powerful person in the Han residence, he did not dare to question him directly.

After everyone dispersed, Minister Han asked to see the King of Han alone.

After hearing his words, King Han frowned. There’s no need for that, right? Old Fifth has already personally guaranteed it. This king still trusts his words..”
