Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 11294: Chapter 11292: The Battle of the Three Kingdoms!

Everyone was surprised.

“Are you joking, Brother Zhui Yun?” Saita-kun immediately objected. That Lin Yi just humiliated us, and now he wants to invite him to the conference? If word gets out, wouldn’t people say that we’re scum?”

Then, there was a chorus of agreement.

It was not just Saita-kun’s hardcore faction, but the other neutral upper echelons also expressed their opposition.

No matter how talented Lin Yi was, in their eyes, it was far less important than the face of King Qi’s mansion.

“Let him come,” King Qi finally said.”This king truly does want to meet him. I want to see how he’s grown his courage.”

Everyone was silent.

Qi Zhuiyun glanced at Qi Tian-kun and cupped his hands with a smile.

Saita-kun’s expression did not change, but a hint of gloom appeared in his eyes.

In his eyes, Lin Yi wasn’t important at all. What worried him was the inclination behind King Qi’s words.

It was true that he was currently the second most powerful person in King Qi’s Imperial Residence, but his position was far from stable. Once King Qi began to support Qi Zhuiyun, it was very likely that he would be suppressed.

Why should I?

I’ve worked so hard for you, so why should you let others suppress me with just a word?

Saita-kun felt indignant, but he did not show it on his face. He had always supported King Qi’s decisions unconditionally.

It was the same in the past and now.

King Qi’s words quickly reached Lu Chunfeng’s ears.

Lu Chunfeng did not show much surprise at this.

The Lu Clan of Liaojing had indeed put in a lot of effort into the Qi King’s estate, but in the end, the Qi King’s estate was a true colossus. King Qi’s will was not something he could control with his words.

“Looks like I have to go against this leek of mine.”

Chunfeng played with the cards in his hand with interest-the mark on Lin Yi’s head had changed from a king to an ace.

“What’s Lin Yi doing now?” Chunfeng asked casually.

Immediately, an old servant in gray came in to report.

“Lin Yi went to Wei King’s mansion in the morning and Yan King’s mansion in the afternoon. He should be going to the palace now.”

“What a busy man.” Lu Chunfeng raised his eyebrows.

Of course, he could tell that Lin Yi’s actions were all aimed at him.

The King of Wei, King of Yan, and the emperor were all key figures that directly affected the status of the Grand Tutor.

However, Lu Chunfeng was not worried about this.

” His actions were fast, but unfortunately, it was useless. The difference in the amount was too great, and it was destined to be futile.”

Lu Chunfeng’s tone was not mocking. Instead, it was filled with deep sympathy, and it was sympathy from the bottom of his heart.

Even he had to admit that Lin Yi’s qualities were outstanding among his peers. It was hard to find someone who could compare to him.

The only pity was that he had met Lu Chunfeng.

He had the Lu Family of Liaojing behind him, while Lin Yi had nothing behind him. The difference in power was already decided.

Whether it was the Wei residence, the Yan residence, or even the emperor, no matter how much effort Lin Yi put in, no matter how many words he said, it would be nothing compared to a single sentence from Lu Chunfeng.

At the end of the day, he still had to have absolute strength to endorse it.

“Chives have to have the awareness of chives.”

” Master Qi.” Lu Chunfeng pondered for a moment before turning to the grey-robed old servant.” Go and invite Master Qi. I have something important to attend to.”

Although he didn’t think that Lin Yi could ruin his plans, he still had to do some things.

Otherwise, it would appear that he had underestimated his enemy, and that would damage his character.

He didn’t have to do it himself to deal with Lin Yi-Young Master Qi was a ready knife.

After all, Prince Qi’s Imperial Residence was Young Master Qi’s home ground.

However, he was only looking for Young Master Qi to deal with Lin Yi. His real target was Number Thirteen who was locked up in the prison.

He had yet to obtain any clues regarding the current demigod expert.

Young Master Qi looked like a pure idiot, but as the heir of the Qi Mansion, how could he be completely useless?

The moment No. 13 was brought back to the imperial prison, he was closely guarded. No matter how Lu Chunfeng hinted, Young Master Qi was just pretending.

Clearly, Young Master Qi had also realized the value of Number Thirteen.

The scene that he had displayed in the Night Palace earlier seemed to be to vent his anger on Number Thirteen, but in fact, it was mostly an act.

The second generation of the top generation had received the best education since they were young. Perhaps they might not be as talented as they were, but at least in this matter, none of them were easy to deal with.

If he wanted to get Number Thirteen, even Lu Chunfeng would have to pay a huge price.

In comparison, Lin Yi’s matter was just a minor detail, not even worth mentioning.

In the royal study.

The emperor couldn’t help but feel awkward as he looked at Lin Yi.

He had ten thousand reasons to accept House Lu’s goodwill, but at the end of the day, he was selling what he had promised Lin Yi.

He was the one who suggested the position of the tutor, and now he was going back on his word and selling it to House Lu.

No matter how one looked at it, this was not a kind act.

More importantly, Wu Wudi was still trapped in the ninth floor of the prison, and he was counting on Lin Yi to do things for him!

It was just the beginning, and Wu Wudi hadn’t even seen the light of day yet, and he had already taken Lin Yi’s ladder away. It was a bit unreasonable.

As long as he could get Wu Wudi out first and then burn the bridge after crossing the river, things would be much easier.

At most, they would just abandon Lin Yi.

On the other hand, the matter had not been settled yet, and he could not give up. He could only brace himself and face it awkwardly.

The emperor was about to explain when Lin Yi spoke.

“Your Majesty, the day after tomorrow when King Qi asks for advice will be the best opportunity to check on King Qin.”

“Huh?” The emperor was stunned.

He had thought of all the possible opening lines Lin Yi could say, and he had thought of a way to get away with it, but he hadn’t thought of this one.

“How do we keep the King of Qin in check?”

The emperor was skeptical.

Qin Wang was the highest mountain in front of him. Whether it was Wu Wudi or Lin Yi, everything he did was to resist Qin Wang.

Putting everything else aside, if there was really a chance to restrict the King of Qin, the emperor would instantly throw away all the other chips he had.

“King Qi is a candidate to keep King Qin in check,” Lin Yi said seriously.

The emperor was instantly disappointed.” That’s right. King Qi’s estate is capable, but it doesn’t stand on the opposite side of King Qin’s estate. Many times, they even work together. They are all top-notch dukes and are essentially the same.”

“King Qi doesn’t want to be the vanguard, but if he’s given the chance to be the commander, he might be tempted.” Lin Yi said.
