Beauty and the Bodyguard

It was unbelievable that the light and wind had suppressed the ferocious Great Emperor Outlaw and the Bai Shizu that the Inner Court had supported!

No matter where he went, no one would be able to hide the sharpness of such a figure.

Plus, according to the plan, Lin Yi was the champion of the Hundred Son Competition, and he had the privilege to choose the rules first.

This was extremely important.

Lin Yi and the others greeted the emperor, but the emperor wasn’t in a good mood.

He was planning to rope Lin Yi in when he saw him. If there was a chance, he wanted Lin Yi to join his ship and become his right-hand man, becoming the second Marquis Wu Wudi.

But now, Wu Wudi had fallen and was imprisoned by the seven kings. Whether he was killed or imprisoned, no conclusion had been reached.

In the end, no matter what, Wu Wudi would never see the light of day again, much less return to the imperial court.

As the emperor of Great Zhou, not only could he not step forward to protect them, he had to cut all ties with them at the first possible moment!

Otherwise, if he were to be accused of betraying the enemy and the King of Qin asked,” Why did Your Majesty rebel?”, he would probably be forced to give up his only position as the Son of Heaven.

At that time, everything would be over.

On the other hand, what made the emperor’s mood even worse was that after today, all the heavyweight man-made rules that nominally belonged to the entire inner court would be completely transferred to the seven kings and the powerful ministers.

Before today, although he was a puppet, at least in name, everything still belonged to him.

Legally speaking, the emperor was the master of all the state capital’s rules!

Even if the actual control was not in his hands, this status was crucial. As long as there was a status, theoretically, he still had the possibility of taking it back.

But after today, he would have nothing.

Anyone with discerning eyes could see that the gods ‘action to eliminate the man-made rules was undoubtedly a catastrophe for the entire Inner Court, but at the same time, it was also a great opportunity for the seven kings and the powerful vassals.

A heaven-sent opportunity to turn public into private.

It was true that even without this opportunity, the leading authority of those heavyweight artificial rules on the candidate list had long been held in the hands of the seven kings and dukes. However, whether they had this title or not was ultimately a completely different matter.

After today, the Inner Court would enter a brand new era.

It could be foreseen that the emperor, who was nominally the number one person in the inner court, would be even more at the edge of the new era. He might even lose his voice completely.

Even Lin Yi, an outsider who had just arrived at the inner court, could see this clearly.

From the perspective of the Sinan Ring, the emperor was very transparent.

Lin Yi couldn’t even tell who was the emperor and who was the maid if he compared her to Cheng Shuang ‘er.

The emperor forced out a smile.” I have seen everyone’s performance in the competition. Especially young hero Lin. You were able to expel the Great Exile. You are truly amazing. I am very happy for you.”

“Your Majesty, you flatter me.” Lin Yi bowed slightly.

He could tell that this emperor was trying to befriend him.

Now that Wu Wudi was in prison, the emperor’s camp needed a new core member, and Lin Yi was the perfect candidate.

Unfortunately, Lin Yi’s response wasn’t warm.

Even without the ring’s warning, Lin Yi wasn’t going to jump into a trap without a clear understanding of the situation.

Now that the emperor’s power was gone, Lin Yi naturally wouldn’t join him.

Of course, not boarding the ship was one thing. Whether or not he would use the opportunity to manipulate the ship was another matter.

No matter what, the emperor’s identity was right there. No matter how much of a puppet he was, he still had great value. It would be useless once it expired.

Lin Yi’s eyes turned to the seven kings.

In contrast, the seven figures who stood at the top of the Inner Court were much more solid in the perspective of the Sinan Ring.

This meant that for the time being, these seven princes would still have a great influence on the entire Inner Court.

However, there were visible differences between the seven kings.

The most solid was Qin Wang.

This was not surprising at all. King Qin’s Mansion was the leader of the seven kings ‘mansions, and he himself was the top existence with the highest reputation. It was even widely believed that he was the number one person in the inner court.

If there was a change of dynasty one day, there was no doubt that the King of Qin was the most likely person to ascend to the throne.

But what made Lin Yi speechless was that Cheng Shuang ‘er’s level of materialization wasn’t any worse than Qin Wang’s!

If Jiang Xiaoshang hadn’t guaranteed it, Lin Yi would’ve thought that the Sinan Ring had a bug.

She was just a mere maid. She did not have extraordinary strength or a powerful background, but her future influence could actually be on par with the current King of Qin. Wasn’t this a joke?

Lin Yi immediately realized that if this really wasn’t a bug in the Sinan ring, this maid would be his most important card.

However, he still needed to plan how to hold this card in his hand and how to use it next.

Qin Wang felt Lin Yi’s gaze and replied.

Both parties ‘gazes met in the air.

Suddenly, the entire world seemed to freeze.

The rest of the people revealed playful expressions.

It wasn’t a secret that Lin Yi killed Qin Wang’s clone, and now that they were fighting, it was possible that they would fight.

However, Lin Yi and Qin Wang looked away.

“Just this?”

Everyone was surprised and disappointed.

Many of them were close to King Qin’s Mansion, but there were also many who stood on the opposite side of King Qin’s Mansion.

No matter which one it was, there was no lack of people who didn’t mind watching the show.

If Qin Wang really fought with Lin Yi in public, it didn’t matter if Qin Wang crushed Lin Yi, who was a foreigner in the limelight, or if Lin Yi was strong enough to make Qin Wang suffer. It would be a great topic for everyone to talk about, and they could even benefit from it.

Unfortunately, Lin Yi and Qin Wang didn’t give them the chance.

Lin Yi’s eyes moved away from Qin Wang and landed on the other seven kings. He immediately felt the difference.

Although the other seven kings were far more condensed than the others, they were clearly inferior to Qin Wang.

Lin Yi suddenly said in his mind,”Can you make this thing into a quantitative one?” At least it can be more intuitive?”
