Beauty and the Bodyguard

But in reality, no one knew better than them the huge gap between them and the four Seas ‘royal families.

Although the Qin family’s position was of utmost importance, in essence, they were actually just a middleman attached to the royal families of the four Seas.

Once they lost the support of the four Seas ‘royal families, their Qin clan’s decline and even destruction would only be a matter of minutes.

Qin Kaiyun, the current family head, and Qin Yitong, the future family head, were very clear about this.

“Could it be that he’s trying to express his goodwill?”

Qin Yitong guessed,”he has offended the royal families of the four Seas. It is needless to say that he will be in a difficult situation. I guess he is trying to find a breakthrough point from our Qin family. He is looking for an opportunity to reconcile with the royal families of the four Seas.”

Qin Kaiyun did not comment on this.””No matter what this person is here for, he must have a motive. As for whether he will bow to the royal families of the four Seas, it’s still unknown.”

Qin Yitong was stunned,”that’s impossible, right?” Does he really have the guts to fight to the death with the royal families of the four Seas?”

Almost everyone in the room agreed that Lin Yi would bow down to the four Seas “royal families, and that everything he did before was just to raise his own value.

If he were to really fight to the death with the four Seas ‘royal families, it would be no different from an egg hitting a stone and seeking his own death.

Qin Kaiyun shook his head.”No matter what, it’s not appropriate for us to get too close to him before the attitude of the four Seas ‘royal families is settled. I won’t be making an appearance this time. I’ll leave all the reception to you.”

“Your child will obey.”

Qin Yitong was overjoyed. Ever since the assassination of Qin Qing, his position as the publicly acknowledged successor had been rather delicate.

Although his grandmother had not said anything to him in public from the beginning to the end, he could clearly feel her suspicion towards him. Once this suspicion fermented, it would be enough to shake his position as the successor.

However, Qin Kaiyun’s decision was equivalent to sending a strong signal to the entire family. He, Qin Yitong, was still the only successor of the Qin family!

However, before he could be happy, he was caught off guard by a piece of news.

The new Sea King Lin Yi had arrived.

“He came to our Qin family but didn’t come to visit father. Instead, he went directly to grandmother’s courtyard. What kind of logic is this?”

Not only Qin Yitong, even the family head Qin Kaiyun could not help but frown.

Although the Qin family’s current reputation was established by the old grandmother, she had long retired to the second line to enjoy her remaining years. Any matters related to the Qin family had to go through the family’s Qin Kaiyun. This was the most basic rule.

Even those with discerning eyes knew that the old grandmother, who had retired behind the scenes, still had unparalleled influence in the Qin family. However, rules were rules, and even the old grandmother herself would not easily break this.

Especially for an official visit like the sea King ‘s, he had to pay his respects to Qin Kaiyun first.

It was one thing for Qin Kaiyun to refuse to see him, but it was another thing for him to not even bow to him.

Qin Yitong gritted his teeth.”Father, it seems like the king of the coastal waters has come with ill intentions. He’s obviously here to stir up trouble.”

Because of the previous divine decree, he was already extremely displeased with the entire sea god Hall. Naturally, he would reject people like Lin Yi, who had the sea god’s label on them. This made him even angrier.

Although Qin Kaiyun’s expression was also somewhat gloomy, as the patriarch, he still maintained a minimum level of composure.

“Don’t rush to a conclusion. Let’s see what he does next. ”

“It’s not good for you to cause more trouble in your current situation,” Qin Kaiyun advised.”As long as you don’t cross our bottom line, treat this King of near the sea coldly. Watch his every move, but don’t get into a conflict with him.”

Qin Yitong felt somewhat unwilling. As the future successor of the fifth royal family, when had he ever suffered such grievances?

The so-called newly promoted Sea King was just an ordinary wild cultivator before he got this dog-shit luck. In his eyes, he was no different from a stray dog on the roadside. He was not qualified to be compared with him, let alone make him swallow his anger.

However, for the sake of the big picture, he still nodded. The situation at hand was delicate, and he had to endure this.

Lin Yi had finally met the old lady of house Qin, the legendary woman who was once a force to be reckoned with in the sea, the one who even the four Seas “royal families fought to get on her side.

“Greetings, senior.”

Lin Yi cupped his hands.

With his status as Sea King, he could be on equal footing with the four Seas ‘royal families in name, and was half a level higher than the Qin family head. In theory, he could completely look down on the other party, but he still followed the etiquette of a junior.

The Qin family’s old grandmother’s face was gentle and amiable. At first glance, she looked like a neighbor’s old grandmother. Other than the traces of time left on her body, there was nothing unusual about her.

But the more it was so, the more people didn’t dare to take it lightly.

Even if he’d never heard of her legendary feats, Lin Yi wouldn’t underestimate her at all. He couldn’t tell from his face, but his instincts told him that there was a terrifying power hidden within her.

Even though he had already retreated to the second line in name, he was still the stabilizing force of the Qin family, the fifth royal family. In the entire sea area, he was an important figure that could not be underestimated.

Grandma Qin smiled as she stood up and gave Lin Yi a hand.”The king of the sea coast is now a very popular figure in the entire sea region. It’s a great honor to be able to come and see an old woman like me.”

“Senior is a Legend of the Sea realm. Everyone in the sea god Hall praises you and suggests that I must come here to take a Scripture and listen to your teachings after taking up the post of Sea King.”

Lin Yi said as he turned to look at Qin Qing,”It just so happens that junior is also a friend of young master Qin. I might as well use the excuse of visiting an old friend to be an evil guest. I hope senior can forgive me.”

“Oh? The king of the sea shore actually knows a lover?”

The Qin family’s old grandmother’s eyes could not help but flash with a trace of surprise, and at the same time, she was more vigilant.

She may be on the second line, but she had a keen sense of the sea’s situation-she was no less sensitive than anyone. She knew that Lin Yi’s opportunity to ascend to the throne must be connected to the four Seas ‘royal families and her family, the fifth royal family.

In fact, the moment Lin Yi appeared, she knew that he was here for her house.

After all, the Oracle grace token was there.

In the eyes of others, Qin Qing, this young master of love, was naturally not a good-for-nothing idiot. However, even if she wore colored glasses due to family relations, she knew very well that her precious grandson was still too naive and innocent.

Once they encountered an ambitious person with real means, they would definitely be sold and still have to help count the money!

Qin Qing didn’t think that much and looked at Lin Yi with excitement.””Brother Lin, you’ve finally come to see me. I haven’t thanked you properly for the Sea King’s selection trial. This time, I must do my best to show you my hospitality!”
