Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 3690: Unexpected interference

Even Meng jueguang could not bear to watch Meng Tong’s idiotic behavior. After gesturing for him to shut up, he turned to Lee Zhengming and whispered,”Zhengming, before the final announcement of the rankings is made, why don’t you take out some more spirit herbs? After all, if the points are the same, it won’t be easy!”

Lee Zheng Ming gritted his teeth and looked at Meng Jue Guang,”Senior brother Meng, I have three hundred and twenty points now, which just happens to be in tenth place. If you take out another spirit herb, then I’ll fall out of tenth place!”

Lee Zheng Ming did not have any herbs that were of poor quality. The lowest score of the herbs he had was two points, and the person in the eleventh place had 319 points. Even if he took out the herb with the lowest score, he would still be ranked eleventh!

Meng jueguang was slightly taken aback, but he quickly replied,”You want the reward for the top ten? No problem. As long as Meng Tong gets first place, I’ll ask him to compensate you with five pieces of spiritual Jade. That’s much better than the three pieces of spiritual Jade you’ll get for getting into the top ten, right?”

Unexpectedly, Lee Zheng Ming was not moved at all. He shook his head and said,””Senior brother Meng, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not coveting this bit of spirit Jade. I just don’t want to fall out of the top ten. In all of the welcoming new pavilion’s official competitions, regardless of whether it’s the newcomer’s trial or the ranking competition, as long as one falls outside of the top ten, it will leave an indelible stain on the newcomer’s resume. Once this stain is carried, it means that one’s ability is lacking in at least one aspect. In this way, even if one enters the GreenCloud Pavilion in the future, they will not be valued and will only be reduced to a completely marginalized figure. This is what senior brother Meng told us personally!”

This time, Meng jueguang was left speechless.

What Lee Zheng Ming said was indeed taught by him, and it was the truth. However, he did not expect that these words would have an effect at this time, and it was even the opposite effect!

In this case, if it was just to let Meng Tong suppress Lin Yi and get first place, forcing li Zhengming out of the top ten, it was indeed a bit unreasonable. After all, Lee Zhengming was the first newcomer to join him other than Meng Tong. It was not a good thing to trick his own people like this. If word got out, it would only disturb the People’s hearts.

However, now that things had come to this, he couldn’t use the same trick again. He couldn’t say that Meng Tong had left some elixirs with other newcomers, because that would be an insult to everyone’s intelligence. Even the three elders wouldn’t agree to it.

Now that things had come to this, young master Xu had to think of a way to exert more influence. Fortunately, Meng Tong’s score wasn’t higher than Lin Yi ‘s, but it wasn’t lower either, so it should be easy to manipulate him.

Meng jueguang explained the situation to Xu lingchong and Hu Yunfeng in detail. Xu lingchong was a little displeased that this guy couldn’t even handle such a small matter, but in order to prevent Lin Yi from getting first place in the end, she could only nod with a dark face.

After all, at this time, except for him, the others, including Hu Yunfeng, were too low in level. They couldn’t directly talk to the three elders, let alone make the three elders do them a favor.

Xu Ling rushed over and said a few words to the bald elder sitting in the middle, then nodded to Hu Yunfeng and Meng jueguang. The matter was settled.

Hu Yunfeng and the other man were overjoyed. They secretly praised young master Xu in their hearts. No matter where he went, he was popular. Even the elder of the rear Mountain Hall had to give him face!

However, they were thinking too much. Although young master Xu’s reputation was not small, it was not to the extent that even an elder would have to do him a favor.

The reason why he was able to deal with it so smoothly this time was entirely because this bald-headed elder had a good personal relationship with his grandfather, Xu Yuanzheng. Otherwise, even he, young master Xu, would not be able to speak a single word.

In the three great pavilions, regardless of whether one had entered the elder Council, any elder was a big Shot. Ordinary disciples could only tremble in fear in front of them. This rule was not easily broken even for someone with a deep background like young master Xu. Of course, it would be a different story if he was an elder who had a good personal relationship with his grandfather.

After receiving Xu lingchong’s signal, Hu Yunfeng cleared his throat and said,””The final results are out. Meng Tong has 1800 points and Lin Yi has 1800 points. Both of them are tied for first place. However, according to the rules of the newcomer’s trial in the past, there has never been a tie. If the two people’s final points are equal, the elder stationed at the back mountain Hall will determine who is stronger based on their behavior and performance in the trial. ”

These three elders were able to observe everyone’s behavior and performance during the trial? Lin Yi was surprised, but after thinking about it for a while, he understood.

Since Hu Yunfeng had said this in front of everyone, he shouldn’t have just made it up, so he must have made it clear.

With the powerful strength of these three elders, if they were coupled with the various restrictions and arrays of the back mountain, it should not be too difficult to monitor the situation in the back mountain. After all, their main task was to guard the back mountain. If they could not even do the most basic monitoring, how could they talk about guarding?

But Lin Yi believed that even if it was monitoring, it wouldn’t be too detailed. At most, they would only pay attention to a few places where there was a lot of movement. After all, the back mountain was so big. If they really paid attention to every place at all times, even if thirty or three hundred elders came, they would only die of exhaustion, let alone three elders.

This made Lin Yi more careful-if he entered the back mountain again in the future, he’d have to be more careful when he did something big. He didn’t know when his secret would be discovered, and it’d be troublesome.

Under Hu Yunfeng’s request, Lin Yi and Meng Tong, who were the two involved, walked to an empty space in front of them, so that the elders could recall their performance during the trial.

Everyone held their breath as they waited. The bald elder, who had the most say in this, looked at the two carefully and was about to announce the result when there was a commotion from the newbies below. A little guy with black and white stripes jumped out from the crowd and jumped on Lin Yi’s back.

The bald-headed elder’s eyebrows twitched. He was about to berate her, but the pretty figure that followed out made him swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth. There was no other reason. This young girl’s background was so deep that even he was frightened!

Although Xu lingchong’s grandfather, Xu Yuanzheng, was also a Big Shot in the elder Council, this girl’s grandfather was the pavilion master of the rising Sky Pavilion, one of the top three figures on the entire northern part of the Sky Class Island. Whether it was strength or power, he was a lot higher than Xu Yuanzheng!
