Beauty and the Bodyguard

"It\'s a pity that we don\'t know when our reinforcements will arrive. The safest place now is the palace. As long as we don\'t leave the palace, the spirit beast clan must ensure our safety. Otherwise, we\'ll have to face the revenge of the entire sea beast clan." Xiao Yan sighed softly, his tone revealing a rare trace of helplessness.

He knew that what he said made sense, but nothing was absolute. If the spirit beasts continued to use the Golden Dragon as a means of assassination, it might not be safe even in the palace.

If Xiao Yan was assassinated in the palace, the spiritual beasts could say that it was due to personal grudges. At most, it would be a mistake for not protecting Xiao Yan well. It was not to the extent of falling out with the sea beasts.

Xiao Yan wanted to leave the spiritual beast clan\'s Royal City immediately. However, he did not dare to leave before the reinforcements arrived. He was feeling extremely conflicted.

"Brother Xiao is right. If we leave the capital now, we\'ll only give those villains a chance to kill us. We\'d better wait and see." Lin Yi nodded in agreement, but he was wondering if Skybolt pig could find the forbidden area of the void chains.

He\'d already found two forbidden areas with the void chains within the Royal Palace, but the remaining three were outside the royal city-it wouldn\'t be easy to find them. Lin Yi didn\'t plan on leaving just yet, and it would be more helpful if Xiao Yan stayed.

"Brother Lin, why don\'t you move over to my place too? we can look after each other when we\'re together," Xiao Yan suggested all of a sudden, not sure if it was for LAN Guzha\'s sake or if he really saw Lin Yi as one of his own.

"Many thanks, brother Xiao. However, junior martial sister li Zao and I have an alchemy task, and we can\'t come and go as we please. If we were to change our residence at will, I\'m afraid it would attract the attention of the spirit beast clan. At that time, it wouldn\'t be beneficial for us." Lin Yi thanked her softly before rejecting her politely.

Xiao Yan did not mind and waved his hand,""You\'re right. I\'ve been too naive. How about this? I\'ll let yang wenshao and yang Tianwen stay by your side. With them, the assassins of the Golden Dragon clan can still hold them off for a while."

Xiao Yan was being quite generous to give Lin Yi one of his strong guards at a time like this. Lin Yi thought about it and didn\'t reject.

With these two earth formation stage experts, it was indeed much safer. Even if he didn\'t think for himself, he had to think about li Zao Yi\'s situation.

With the two of them following him, it\'d be much easier to enter the palace. Lin Yi was still waiting for the pig to find the forbidden area and set up the short distance teleportation formation.

The two of them chatted for a while more, with LAN Guzha joining in from time to time. The atmosphere was pretty good when a spirit beast came to inform them that there was a meeting of the elders, inviting Xiao Yan and Lin Yi to the meeting hall.

"Could it be about the Dragon Transformation pool? The White Tiger wants to seek justice for its own clan?" Xiao Yi was slightly stunned, feeling that the timing of this meeting was a little strange.

"We\'ll know once we go and take a look. " Lin Yi smiled faintly as he headed to the meeting hall with Xiao Yan.

LAN Guzha also wanted to follow but was rejected by both of them. Although this fellow had disguised himself, he was just a small character in the beginning stage of the mountain. What was the use of following him? Even if Xiao Yan wanted to bring a guard, he would definitely bring a strong one!

Xiao Yan did indeed bring a sea split stage expert with him. After the assassination attempt by the Golden Dragon, he did not dare to be too careless, even if they were in the palace of the spirit beasts.

Zheng Dongsheng was already waiting inside when Lin Yi arrived. He quickly stood up to greet Lin Yi and Xiao Xiao, but an unnatural expression flashed across the old man\'s face. Lin Yi almost didn\'t notice it if he didn\'t pay attention.

"Elder Zheng, you\'re early. Did anything happen?" Lin Yi sat down beside Zheng Dongsheng and asked casually.

"Ah? No, nothing happened. " Zheng Dongsheng quickly shook his head to deny it. This time, his expression was very good, and he did not show the slightest abnormality.

"It\'s best if you don \'t. If anything happens, remember to tell me in advance. Otherwise, if something happens and the opportunity to save your grandson and cousin is ruined, don\'t blame me." Lin Yi gave Zheng Dongsheng a deep look, giving him a warning.

"Yes, yes, yes. Elder Lin, don\'t worry. I naturally know what to do." Zheng Dongsheng nodded and stole a glance at Xiao Yan, who was on the other side of Lin Yi. No one knew what he was thinking.

Before Lin Yi could say anything, the man in the center followed closely behind. Zheng Dongsheng subconsciously stood up to welcome him, but remembering that Lin Yi was right beside him, his body stiffened. He didn\'t know if he should stand up or sit down.

Fortunately, the man with the black bamboo hat did not care about him at all. He walked straight over and sat down on an empty seat. He had no intention of communicating with the others.

Zheng Dongsheng smiled awkwardly and sat down quietly. Lin Yi and Xiao Yan looked at each other and closed their eyes together.

After a dozen breaths, the four inner sect elders returned and sat down. Red Sparrow tapped on the table, signaling for Lin Yi and the others to pay attention.

"The meeting this time is actually very simple. We just want to announce a decision." Red Sparrow glanced at Lin Yi and the others expressionlessly before leaning back in her chair."Elder Azure Dragon, you\'ll be the one to explain."

Lin Yi curled his lips-this Vermilion Bird sure knew how to put on airs. If he wanted Azure Dragon to tell him, then he should\'ve just kept quiet and wasted everyone\'s time ...

"Alright, the decision I\'m going to announce today is that the outer hall Council of Elders will be dissolved. The four outer hall elders will leave the capital immediately and we will send experts to escort you to your destination!" Green Dragon lowered his eyes, hiding his expression. His tone was calm, but the announcement shook Lin Yi and the others.

"Elder Azure Dragon, the Council of Elders of the outer hall is going to be dissolved? Wasn\'t this too much of a joke? Does the king know about this?" Lin Yi asked.
