Beauty and the Bodyguard

10707 Chapter 10696-

Naturally, Lin Yi didn’t like the feeling of his fate being controlled by someone else.

However, no matter if he liked it or not, since he had already entered the game, he could only continue to play.

However, it was hard to say how far it would go in the end, and whether the result would go as some people wished.

Madam Qing didn’t know what Lin Yi was thinking, but she stood quietly to the side, not interrupting him.

Lin Yi snapped back to his senses and looked at Madam Qing.”Qing ‘er, are you going to stay here or follow me outside?”

After borrowing the life reincarnation system, although Madam Qing was not a native living being of the New World, she had already developed an indescribable close relationship with the New World.

It was very mysterious, but at this moment, her sense of belonging to this new world was even stronger than the spiritual race’s base camp on the polar Island.

If there was nothing else to do, she would rather stay in the New World.

Although this place was still very primitive, and the environment alone was not even suitable for ordinary people to live in, it was precisely because of the simplicity and indifference to the world that she felt a sense of security that she had never felt before. It was a true feeling of home.

However, some ties were not so easy to cut off.

Before Madam Qing could reply, Jiang xiaoshang’s scolding came from the other side.

“Do you still need to ask? Just look at her and you’ll know that she must’ve followed you outside. Damn it, she’s hiding in a place like this and she’s being fed dog food. What a pity!”

Lin Yi glanced at him.

On the other side, sword’s son immediately understood what he meant. He immediately rode his young Overlord and charged over with great vigor, attacking Jiang xiaoshang.

Seeing this, Madam Qing burst into laughter and said softly, “”I can’t let go of my people, Lin Yi, can you help me?”

“You want me to take them in?” Lin Yi raised a brow.

“Can I?”

Madam Qing was nervous.

The spiritual race’s population was already small to begin with, and after today’s calamity, even if a small portion of them were lucky enough to survive, their numbers would definitely be pitifully small.

in this state, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the spiritual race was completely exterminated.

As a member of the spirit race, no matter how her clansmen had treated her before, she obviously couldn’t watch as her entire race was exterminated without doing anything.

Lin Yi fell into deep thought.

In fact, even without his relationship with Madam Qing, he had no intention of standing by and watching the Ling clan.

The key question was, if they saved the last group of survivors of the spirit race, how would they settle down?

The New World was obviously not open to them.

Putting aside the fact that it was Lin Yi’s core secret, even if they didn’t have to worry about it at all, this new world was still far from being developed to the point where ordinary people could live in it. Only the top-tier Masters who didn’t have such high requirements for living conditions could live here.

However, if they were not placed in the New World and were placed in the outside world, it would be easy for them to become the target of public criticism.

After all, it was impossible to resolve the enmity between the humans and the spirit race.

Once the news of Lin Yi taking in the spirit race’s survivors spread, he would be an anti-human war criminal to the entire divine Kingdom on land. No matter how strong he was, he wouldn’t have a place to stand.

Lin Yi wasn’t afraid of making enemies, but that was a different thing from becoming the public enemy.

The prerequisite for him to protect the spirit race was that he would not threaten the safety of himself and his companions. Once this point was shaken, there was no room for discussion.

As a human being of flesh and blood, he couldn’t lose his basic sympathy, but he couldn’t be a Saint either.

Therefore, the method to protect the spirit race must not be to expose the spirit race to the eyes of humans.

Or perhaps, the Ling clan was no longer the Ling clan.

Lin Yi’s eyes lit up as he looked at Madam Qing.”Qing ‘er, how did you become Madam Qing?”

Madam Qing was stunned for a moment before she reacted. “The true spirit pool!”

However, she couldn’t help but worry at the same time. “But there’s no such thing as an impervious wall in this world. Sooner or later, the news will be leaked. Maybe someone will use this as an excuse to attack your qualifications as a Big Shot and say that you didn’t complete the Big Shot trial …”

What she said was not a possibility, but a certainty.

It didn’t matter what the method was, those who stood against Lin Yi would use this as a pretense to force Lin Yi to stand against everyone.

protecting the spirit race was a matter that the divine Kingdom on land would not tolerate. There was no doubt about that.

Lin Yi smiled, ” I didn’t complete the test in the first place. Even if I destroyed the spirit race, it doesn’t count. That wasn’t the real test.

“Ha?”

Madam Qing was confused. didn’t we already announce the details of the mission during the Supreme board meeting? how can that not be decided? ”

Even though she was from the Ling clan and naturally distrusted humans, Madam Qing did not believe that the Grand Supreme Board of Directors would go back on their word on such a matter.

If that was the case, the Supreme Board of Directors would not be far from disbanding.

Lin Yi waved his hand, ” not really. They’re big shots, after all. Even if they don’t look good, they still care about their reputation.

the problem is, if you do a dirty job for them, they’ll be willing to accept you and let you be on an equal footing with them. Do you think that such a thing will happen in reality? ”

Madam Qing was stunned for a moment, and then she shook her head decisively. “It should only exist in fairy tales.”

Giving up his position was equivalent to giving up benefits, and it was a huge benefit that was difficult to measure.

The nine powerhouses were people with vested interests, and no matter how perfectly Lin Yi completed the test, they wouldn’t really acknowledge him as one of the big shots.

At most, he would be given an empty title of a Big Shot, and he would be a puppet Big Shot in name but not in reality.

As for real benefits, don’t even think about it.

The nine big shots were indeed all rich and powerful, but none of them were philanthropists.

“Just think about how the Board of Directors works,” Lin Yi said faintly,”the trials seem random on the surface, but the actual trials are fixed.”

Madam Qing suddenly understood. you mean, you have to challenge the current nine magnates and let them know that you have the ability to turn the tables. Only then can you become a real magnate? ”

“Only the ones who can flip the table over have the right to sit at the table,” Lin Yi nodded with a smile.

Madam Qing couldn’t help but ask,’which family are you going to challenge? Xi rulai? Or is it nie liangchen?”

Lin Yi looked at her, his tone full of meaning.”I’ve already placed the order.”

Anyone else would’ve been treated as a lunatic if they said something like that, but Lin Yi’s confidence and calmness convinced Madam Qing.
