Beauty and the Bodyguard

10081 Chapter 10080-

The priest Hall.

The high priest and Lin Yi were the only two people in the huge temple. The high priest looked at Lin Yi deeply, and his first sentence was earth-shattering.

“You know the contents of the Oracle just now. I’m not wrong, am I, King hai?”

Lin Yi’s heart tightened.

He had guessed that the other party would not be so easily fooled. Although the Oracle just now had checkmated the other party and forced the other party to give in, it had actually left traces to a certain extent.

Don’t forget, this was the person closest to the seagod, and he knew the seagod’s condition better than anyone else.

Others might not know about the loss of the divine persona, but he must have sensed it and made the corresponding probing moves.

Including this time’s request for divine judgement, it was actually a test, a test of the sea god’s situation.

This person was definitely an old fox that was extremely difficult to deal with!

Lin Yi’s expression didn’t change.”I don’t know the exact content of the Oracle, but I can guess it. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be drinking tea here. I would be thinking about how to find my personal guard Camp.”

“Is that so?”

The high priest shook his head noncommittally,””Sea King hai is trying to play riddles with me. I’ll be direct, with Lord sea God’s current situation, he won’t easily issue a divine decree.

However, in just two short days, two oracles appeared in a row, and the timing was right after you became the Sea King. Don’t you think it’s a bit too coincidental?”

At this point, it was almost equivalent to a direct showdown.

If it was someone else, they’d give themselves away in shock, but Lin Yi didn’t even bat an eye.

“Perhaps my knowledge is shallow. I don’t think it’s a coincidence. The Lord seagod suddenly issued a few more oracles. This in itself doesn’t seem that hard to understand, right?”

The high priest looked at him deeply and suddenly said,””The divine spark has fallen.”

“……”

Lin Yi blinked his eyes in confusion.”What do you mean?”

The high priest carefully observed every subtle change in his expression, but could not find any flaws. He could not help but feel suspicious.

Could he have guessed wrong?

He, the high priest, was actually the first to know about the loss of the sea god’s divinity. He had deliberately revealed it to Xiao Wudi through Zhang xiangding, and it was also because of this that the scene in the ruins of the Empire had happened.

Since Lin Yi was a Dark Horse, he must have fought Xiao Wudi at close range before. It was very likely that he knew about the loss of the divinity, and he might even be the biggest winner behind the scenes!

However, even though he did not rule out this possibility, he did not believe it too much.

The reason was simple. With Lin Yi’s realm and strength, no matter how heaven-defying he was, there was no way he could swallow a real God, even if it was an ex-God!

He didn’t know that Lin Yi’s hidden cards were far beyond his imagination.

The most important thing was that he had overlooked one thing. Although he had treated Xiao Wudi as a chess piece, he had not expected that Li Yuanji, who had once been a peak-stage false god, was standing behind him.

As such, even the boldest and most bizarre guess would at most be that Lin Yi and the Poseidon had some sort of connection. He would never have imagined that Lin Yi was the mastermind behind all this.

“Sea King, you are a smart man. I believe you will make a smart choice.”

Lin Yi couldn’t help but smile at the profound meaning behind the high priest’s words. “Isn’t the wisest choice to follow in the Lord seagod’s footsteps? high priest, don’t worry, I’m still clear on this point. ”

The high priest choked for a moment. Even he could not refute such Grand words.

However, he didn’t call Lin Yi over just to be a riddle-maker.

He wanted to find out more about the ocean God from Lin Yi, but he didn’t want to be too obvious.

If by any chance his guess about the loss of divinity was wrong, the seagod’s current situation wasn’t as difficult as he’d imagined, and if he still forced himself to ask, that would be blasphemy.

Once the crime was confirmed, even if he was the high priest, he would definitely die without a burial place.

He couldn’t afford to take this risk.

The high priest could only change the topic.”I wonder what King Haihai thinks of the top five advisors?” he asked.

“I’ve never had any proper dealings with them, and I can’t even call their names. Even if the high priest let me see them, I won’t be able to see anything. ”

Lin Yi’s face was calm, but he was secretly relieved.

It seemed that while the Oracle from before had made them suspicious, it had also intimidated them, making them unable to grasp the seagod’s true strength.

After all, it wasn’t that easy to activate a divine decree. If the sea god’s condition was really that bad, in order to avoid being seen through by his divine sense fluctuations, the scene just now definitely wouldn’t have happened.

From the looks of it, this person wouldn’t dare to act rashly for a while.

The higher one’s status was, the more they cherished their life. This principle had been tried and tested no matter where one put it.

The high priest said in a calm tone,”there are some differences between the priests and the walkers. I’m sure Prince hai hai is aware of this. However, we are essentially all heading towards the same goal. In the end, the overall situation is more important.”

“You’re right, high priest,”Lin Yi nodded.

“But we can’t rule out the possibility that some people may say things that are easy to misunderstand for their own selfish reasons. You’re new here, Prince Hai hai hai, so I suggest that you listen and see more. Don’t rush to make a conclusion.”

“With my experience,” the high priest said sincerely,”not rushing to pick a side is the most stable and brilliant strategy. If we advance blindly, we will be the ones who suffer in the end.”

“The high priest is wise indeed, I’ve learned a lot.” Lin Yi agreed.

From the scene alone, there was no smell of gunpowder between the two sides, and they were unusually harmonious.

The high priest smiled and said,””You don’t have to worry about what happened between Zhang xiangding and lü Yangzhong, Prince hai hai. I’ve already carefully studied the cause and effect. Everything that you did was reasonable and justified. They only had themselves to blame.”

“Thank you for your understanding, high priest,” Lin Yi said happily,”I feel much more at ease now that you’ve said this.”

“You’re too kind, I’m just telling the truth. ”

There was a meaningful look in the high priest’s eyes.””There’s still a long way to go. In the future, Prince hai will know that you and I are actually the same.”

Lin Yi nodded.”No need for that. We’re on the same side now. After all, you’re the leader of the Poseidon shrine. Other than the Lord Poseidon, we have to listen to you.”

“……”

The high priest was speechless.

It had been a long time since he had met someone who could make him choke with a few words in recent years.
