Beauty and the Bodyguard

"How on earth do you want to tell me?"

Mu Shen asked this question very bachelorly. Now that he was completely restrained, he no longer had any leverage to bargain with Lin Yi.

Unless he was brought out of the city lord's palace to threaten Lin Yi.

But judging from Lin Yi's public admission of killing Qin Renjie and the Death Squadron, the pressure of the City Lord's Palace in front of him might be a joke.

In fact, not only Lin Yi, but also the City Lord's Mansion has never had any coercion in the eyes of all Jianghai Academy's top combat forces. That is to say, they have formed a tacit understanding over the years that they should never cross the line, so they rarely cross the line.

But now that the tacit understanding has been broken, naturally no one pays attention to the so-called rules of the City Lord's Mansion.

Just like now, Lin Yi was wanted by the City Lord's Mansion, but he didn't pay attention to it from beginning to end.

Now even the second-ranking figure in the City Lord's Mansion, the Shepherd, has been trampled under his feet. Even if a wanted notice is put on his face, who can catch him in the City Lord's Mansion?

Can't Li Songzhang, the city lord, personally take action?

If Lin Yi can be restrained by one move then, it will be good. If he ends up like the Shepherd today, it will be a big joke.

The entire city lord's palace had to explode on the spot.

Based on Mu Shen's understanding of Li Songzhang, the city lord would never openly attack Lin Yi, let alone take such a big risk for a subordinate like himself. The most likely thing would be to do it in vain and pretend that nothing happened.

Therefore, he can only rely on himself for now.

Lin Yi thought for a while and said, "Why don't you just change jobs and leave a place for you in the repeater college?"

The face of the Shepherd suddenly became extremely ugly: "There must be a limit to joking."

It is true that the relationship between him and Li Songzhang cannot be said to be very close. Rather than being a superior and a subordinate, it is better to say that they are cooperative allies with priorities.

He and his team of Heavenly Kings need a place to stay, while Li Songzhang needs a powerful fighter. Both sides get what they need, and that's it.

But if he switches to Jianghai College now, it will be an unprecedented heavy blow to the City Lord's Mansion, which is currently at its peak, and to the ambitious Li Songzhang himself.

At that time, even if it was to stabilize people's hearts, Li Songzhang would have to take action against him!

Unless he, the traitor, dies, the prestige of the City Lord's Mansion will be completely destroyed, and he will become the laughing stock of the entire Jianghai City from now on!

Lin Yi smiled: "Then let me change the conditions. You will continue to stay in the City Lord's Mansion, but when necessary, you have to be my internal correspondent."

The expression on Mu Shen's face changed: "Are you plotting against the City Lord's Mansion? Is this your intention, or is it Jianghai Academy's intention?"

Lin Yi was already so terrifying, far beyond his expectations.

If Jianghai Academy really started to target the City Lord's Mansion, he would shudder and his scalp would go numb just thinking about that situation!

Lin Yi looked at him with a half-smile: "It doesn't matter who means it, just do it or not, right?"

"I will not do anything that harms the City Lord's Mansion."

The Shepherd snorted coldly.

Lin Yi smiled: "Don't get me wrong, I don't have any intention of targeting the City Lord's Mansion now, I'm just taking precautions and making some necessary preparations for possible changes in the future."

The Shepherd was confused: "What do you mean?"

Lin Yi said meaningfully: "I won't ask you to betray Li Songzhang now. What you have to do is very simple. Just go back and do nothing. Just do it as usual. By the way, take a good look at Li Songzhang's movements. I think this shouldn't be the case." Will it embarrass you?"

"..."

The Shepherd was silent for a long time: "If it's just like this, it won't be difficult, but it won't be that simple, right?"

"It's actually not as complicated as you think."

Lin Yi took his feet away from him: "You and Li Songzhang are not the same person. As long as you pay attention to him, as long as you are not deceived by him, you will part ways sooner or later."

The Shepherd coldly snorted: "Don't use such low-level methods to sow discord. The tacit understanding between me and the city lord is not so fragile that it will cause cracks if outsiders just say a few words of provocation. You'd better save it."

Lin Yi smiled: "You just need to remember one thing. If one day you find that you are not the same person as him, don't make it public and contact me."

After a while, the Shepherd nodded in a muffled voice: "If this is all you ask for, I can agree to it."

After saying that, he consciously swore on his soul.

After all, it was empty talk. If he really wanted to let him go, Lin Yi wouldn't worry about it.

With the constraints of the soul oath, if you regret it in the future, you will suffer the soul's backlash. This kind of backlash is difficult for even the giants and ultimate Dzogchen masters to withstand. It can be said to be the most binding kind of gambling oath.

Of course, this is a unilateral oath.

It only unilaterally binds the Shepherd God, but it has no effect on Lin Yi. After all, with the tacit understanding between them, it cannot bind Lin Yi in the first place.

After all, as long as he releases the Shepherd, he has fulfilled his promise, and where to go next is entirely the Shepherd's own business.

"Okay, you can go back now."

After Lin Yi finished speaking, he took back the power of the rules.

The God of Shepherd suddenly felt that the doors that had been cut into countless separate cages in his body were all opened, and the surging power could finally be reunited in one place, and that powerful feeling suddenly returned.

Seeing the renewed fighting spirit in the Shepherd, Lin Yi raised his eyelids and said, "Another fight?"

Mu Shen suddenly felt a little moved. Although he had lost to Lin Yi just now, he did not feel that he was weaker than Lin Yi. He just failed to figure out the opponent's trump card, so he fell into the trap.

If he really had to fight again, he might not lose!

But after all, he is not a fool. Just think about this kind of thing. Until now, he has not even figured out how he lost. Let alone another game, even if there is another hundred games, it will most likely be a gift.

No matter how much he desires to win, he will not do such a stupid thing that is obviously self-humiliating.

"Just wait until later. I will win it back one day."

The faun got up from the ground with a cold face.

With a movement of his feet, he jumped out of the center of the messy battlefield and landed in the middle of a group of people watching the battle in the distance. The people who were belatedly aware of the battle were frightened to the point of numbness.

Although looking at it just now, this person seems to have lost.

But after all, their level is too low to see the real key of this top-level duel. From the beginning to the end, one unknown factor stands out.

Such a high-end battle cannot be understood with ordinary people's thinking. Although it seems that Lin Yi suppressed the Shepherd, at first glance it seems that Lin Yi won.

But what if it's just someone's special competitive posture?

In case the Shepherd uses this method to exert his power, the truth is not that he was stepped on by Lin Yi's foot, but that Lin Yi's foot was sucked by him in turn, just like the magic of attracting stars in secular movies. Is Lin Yi actually the one being controlled?

At worst, it would have to be an even split.

Otherwise, why would Lin Yi let him go?
