Beauty and the Bodyguard

10653 Chapter 10642-

The people present were not ignorant and naturally understood his implied meaning.

On the other side, Xi rulai sneered, ” the greater the cause and effect, the greater the background of the future 10th Big Shot. The upper limit of the future will also be higher.

“Hehe, whoever really sits on it will be the target of public criticism!”

He glanced at Lin Yi as he spoke, his meaning obvious.

The best outcome for him was that none of these people would be able to take the position today.

It would be best if everyone died on the spot like the one just now, especially Lin Yi and Yuan kun under Sheng Xian’s name!

Lin Yi didn’t reply, but looked at Yuan kun.”I’m talking to you.”

“..”

Yuan kun couldn’t help but be speechless. Such a crude goading method was used on him, did he think he was a three-year-old child?

However, Yuan kun still looked at Xi rulai with a cold smile.

Since he had beaten up West bliss and nie tianlu, the XI clan and nie clan behind them were naturally his enemies as well as stepping stones in his plan.

He knew the rules of the martial arts world too well. If he didn’t step on powerful enemies like the XI and nie families to get to the top, he wouldn’t be able to gain a firm foothold even if he successfully became the tenth Big Shot.

Out of the nine big shots on the Supreme Board of Directors, he didn’t dare to provoke three of them. Among the remaining six ordinary big shots, the XI family and the nie family were the most suitable stepping stones for him.

Firstly, these two families had a long history, and even a three-year-old child on the side of the road would know their names.

Secondly, be it the XI family or the nie family, they were clearly on a decline. Compared to the other big shots, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that they were strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

His reputation was great, and his strength was on the decline. If this wasn’t a ready-made step for him, what was it?

In addition, choosing to attack these two families had another huge advantage for Yuan kun.

That was Lin Yi.

Both houses were enemies with Lin Yi now, just like how they fought Tian Sheng at the Boneyard. It was entirely possible for him and Lin Yi to work together again.

Even if Lin Yi didn’t agree, he just needed to use a little trick to get Lin Yi to take away half of the pressure.

Anyone else would be scared to death if they provoked two big powers at the same time.

However, to the current Yuan kun, he had enough confidence to face it calmly. A new generation replaced the old, and the Supreme Board of Directors couldn’t keep these old faces. It was time for a new atmosphere!

“You’ve got guts!”

Facing Yuan kun’s provocative gaze, Xi rulai was so angry that he laughed, but he didn’t do anything else.

Although he was a big Shot, he didn’t have much say in this situation. If he really punished Yuan kun, the three top big shots would definitely not sit by and do nothing.

At that time, he would only be humiliating himself.

The test-sitting continued.

Because of the shock from before, the remaining people who had been drawn by the heaven’s secrets bottle were obviously not in a good state, even though they did not run away like the previous person.

All of them had only climbed a few steps before hastily ending the battle. It was obvious that they had lost their courage.

It was not until the twelfth person’s turn that the situation changed again.

The man was tall, his long hair standing up like a Hedgehog. He had a cheeky smile on his face, but the strength and strength he exuded couldn’t be hidden in the eyes of someone like Lin Yi.

His name was Gu lie, and he was the only expert from the Gu family that Gu jiumu represented.

From Lin Yi’s point of view, this person’s strength was enough to be in the top three of the entire sixteen-person list!

As expected, Gu lie climbed up the steps with much more ease than everyone else.

On the surface, he seemed to have no obstacles. He easily climbed all the way up the twenty-third step and arrived before the tenth chair.

It felt as if the pressure from the steps had suddenly disappeared.

“Then I won’t be polite.”

Guret looked at the 10th chair and grinned. He then turned around and sat down, looking quite relaxed.

An incense stick was lit and the timer began.

Looking at Gu lie’s performance, the big shots and the people below all had complicated expressions.

There was no doubt that Gu lie was the one who was the closest to success. With his relaxed state, it was highly likely that he would be able to last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

All the big shots, including Kong shenglin, looked at Gu jiumu with even more fear.

Just Gu jiumu alone was enough to put a lot of pressure on them. If the Gu family were to produce another giant, the situation in the future would be unimaginable!

However, Gu jiumu’s face remained calm, like an ancient well.

Just as the big shots had different thoughts and were secretly planning for the future situation, there was a sudden change in the situation.

After only three breaths, Gu lie suddenly stood up and showed a joking expression, ” I can’t take it anymore. Tsk tsk, I still don’t have the fate of being a Big Shot.

Then, he walked down the stairs.

Everyone was speechless.

For a moment, everyone couldn’t help but wonder if this guy was doing it on purpose.

Looking back at the entire process of him going up the stage just now, from the beginning to the end, this guy had been very relaxed and didn’t seem to be under any pressure at all.

Even when he was sitting on the tenth chair, there were no visible fluctuations. No matter how you looked at it, it didn’t look like he couldn’t bear it.

Could it be that the Gu family was afraid that they would become the target of public criticism after the emergence of the second giant, and would be attacked by other parties?

It was not impossible.

The wind would destroy the outstanding trees in the forest.

Even though the Gu family was very powerful now and had long become the core competitor of the strongest faction led by Kong shenglin, with almost all parties, both visible and invisible, pursuing and intercepting them, Gu jiumu’s experienced tactics still won him enough strategic space.

At the very least, other than the strongest faction, the rest of the big shots were basically maintaining a neutral attitude. They were not completely on Kong shenglin’s side.

Even Chu hantian, the most important core figure, was leaning towards Gu jiumu when it came to certain important matters.

However, if the Gu family really produced a second giant, it would be completely different.

The human heart is fickle.

At that time, the Gu family might really become the public enemy!

No matter how strong the Gu family was, no matter how deep their heritage was, once they fell into a situation where they became enemies with the entire Supreme Board of Directors or even the entire divine Kingdom on land, they would not have any chance of winning.

That was why guret suddenly gave up at this time. Although ordinary people couldn’t understand it, it was definitely a wise move for these big shots who stood on the clouds.
