Beauty and the Bodyguard

"What did I say? Wasn\'t The White Tiger elder a little too sensitive? Or is he feeling a little weak?" The Azure dragon\'s mouth curled into a sneer as he continued to oppose The White Tiger.

The White Tiger was furious. It would have been fine if the Vermilion Bird had mocked him, but who was the Azure Dragon? He was just a puppet elder supported by the Vermilion Bird. Whether it was strength or experience, he was no match for The White Tiger. How dare he mock him?

"Alright, we\'re all cabinet elders. We\'ll be laughed at!" The Vermilion bird\'s low voice interrupted the two\'s argument that was about to escalate.

In the entire spirit beast clan, the Vermilion Bird was the only one who could suppress The White Tiger. In addition, his aura was at its peak just now. Therefore, when he spoke, The White Tiger could only swallow his anger and wait for the guards to come and confront him.

At this moment, a spirit beast guard rushed over and bowed to the four elders with cupped fists.""Elder, we have found the colleagues who were on duty in that area. However, they were all killed. None of them survived!"

"What did you say?" The White Tiger\'s expression changed. Although the people he had sent to the palace were only from the side branches, they were all extremely outstanding experts and would become the pillars of his clan in the future.

Losing one was enough to make The White Tiger\'s heart ache for a long time, not to mention that this time, there were at least seven or eight of them. It was almost the same as using a knife to dig out his flesh!

"Well done, you actually know how to silence me, so that the dead can\'t testify! Elder White Tiger, you\'ve used this trick of injuring yourself to gain sympathy pretty well!" Azure Dragon\'s face was still filled with mockery as he mercilessly mocked The White Tiger.

Lin Yi was full of respect for Green Dragon-this guy\'s mind was really quick. After locking onto The White Tiger, every strike was fatal, and he could pull anything onto The White Tiger.

The whole thing was pretty clear at first, but it was getting more and more complicated now. Lin Yi couldn\'t be sure who the mastermind behind the assassin was, but it should be one of the four elders if he was right.

"You\'re talking nonsense! These are the elites of my clan. You\'re clearly the one who wants to kill them with a borrowed knife and frame them! I\'ve finally understood. Your plan is really good! Not only did he pin the crime of assassinating an outer hall elder on me, he even got rid of the elite disciples of our clan! Two birds with one stone!" The White Tiger\'s eyes were about to split open as it pointed its finger at the Azure Dragon and roared.

If not for the Vermilion Bird watching from the side, The White Tiger might have already turned hostile and directly displayed the full force of the two inner sect elders!

"Alright! There are many suspicious points in this matter, and it will take time to investigate. Don\'t quarrel, you two!" The Vermilion Bird waved his hand to stop the two of them. On the surface, he seemed fair, but in reality, everyone knew that he would definitely side with the Azure Dragon!

Lin Yi looked on coldly, trying to figure out which of the four inner sect elders was the real mastermind. Unfortunately, they were all as cunning as foxes, and there were no flaws on the surface.

In terms of suspicion, the four of them were indeed suspicious. However, after careful consideration, they were all a little unreliable. Life was like a play, and it all depended on acting skills. There was no doubt that these four old men were all movie Kings with superb acting skills.

"Elder Lin, you\'ve been shocked by what happened today. I\'ll arrange for guards to escort you back. I\'ll definitely not let a similar situation happen again." Vermilion bird\'s expression softened as she smiled at Lin Yi and Zheng Dongsheng.

Lin Yi pursed his lips. He wasn\'t sure if the Vermilion Bird was really feeling guilty or if she was just trying to cover it up. No matter what, they wouldn\'t be attacked again on the way back.

"Thank you, elder Vermilion Bird!" Lin Yi thanked him casually with a fist salute.

"Elder Lin, don\'t worry. I will not let this matter rest. In addition to giving you an explanation, there must also be an explanation for the disciples who died in vain in my clan! If there\'s any progress, I\'ll let you know immediately. " The White Tiger thumped its chest and glared at Vermilion Bird and Azure Dragon coldly. It was obvious that it wanted Lin Yi to think that they were the ones behind this.

"Thank you for your concern, Elder White Tiger. Also, I would like to thank you again for the Jade token you lent me. It\'s a pity that the king went into seclusion before we arrived, so I couldn\'t meet you." Lin Yi smiled faintly, not at all offended by the Tiger\'s friendly gesture.

White Tiger was one of Lin Yi\'s suspects for Zheng Dongsheng\'s assassination, but Lin Yi didn\'t care. As long as both sides were after Vermillion Bird and Azure Dragon, there was a possibility of working together. Before they officially formed an alliance, it didn\'t matter if White Tiger wanted to attack Vermillion Bird by assassinating Lin Yi and the others. If it were Lin Yi in his position, he might have made the same decision.

Zheng Dongsheng forced out a smile that was uglier than crying. The four elders of the spirit beast clan would subconsciously ignore him when they were talking, but Lin Yi would never be ignored. To be honest, Zheng Dongsheng was quite happy to see this situation. He was just a small figure with low strength, and it was definitely not a good thing for the four elders to have their eyes on him.

The problem was that when the assassination happened, the assassin clearly didn\'t ignore Zheng Dongsheng. All the attacks were blocked by Lin Yi, but the target of the attacks was completely equal to Lin Yi.

"It\'s just a small matter. Elder Lin, you\'re too polite!" White Tiger laughed, his anger gone as he spoke to Lin Yi. He was back to his usual self.

"Then we\'ll take our leave first!" Lin Yi cupped his fists again. After saying goodbye to everyone, he turned around and left with Zheng Dongsheng. This time, they were protected by spirit beast Masters from all sides. The standard was obviously different.

However, Lin Yi still maintained his vigilance against these guards. Who knew if they would suddenly attack him? They seemed to know Lin Yi\'s thoughts, so they kept their distance, making Lin Yi and Zheng Dongsheng feel more at ease.

After Lin Yi and Zheng Dongsheng left, the four elders \'faces darkened. They didn\'t say anything and went back to the meeting hall.

"You can investigate the assassin if you want. Just report to me after you\'re done." The Vermilion Bird spoke indifferently, not mentioning the assassin incident.

The White Tiger sneered, but did not object. In this incident, the ones who died were the elite descendants of the branch families that he had sent to the palace. No matter what, they had to investigate. It would be useless to say anything now.
