Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 5372: I was still waiting for your news!

Translator: 549690339

Lu Ping ‘an stared at Chen Jiu on the ground in a daze, as if he didn’t feel anything. The other elders and disciples of the Chen family faction were all at a loss. Below Grand Elder Chen Jiu, other than the Deputy sect leader Chen Dongcheng, Lu Ping’ an’s position was the highest. At this moment, even he was dumbfounded, let alone the others.

Lu Pingan and the others ‘silence finally gave all the other elders and disciples a clear signal. Their faces revealed an unusually excited expression. This meant that from today onwards, the green cloud School of the northern island would welcome a new era.

In the new era, it was not good news for the Chen family faction, which was used to being superior to others. However, for the local faction, which had more people, this was undoubtedly a sign of a comeback.

Before this, they had all seen Xin Yijie’s various efforts to create momentum, but the results had been minimal. After all, a martial granduncle of unknown origin had been able to suppress Grand Elder Chen Jiu. Anyone who would believe such a fantasy story would have to be out of their minds.

But now, they finally realized that it wasn’t that Xin Yijie’s brain had gone haywire, but that they had been ignorant.

Xin Yijie took in everyone’s expressions. To be honest, his legs had been trembling until just a moment ago, but after seeing everyone’s different expressions, he instantly felt at ease.

Although the people from the Chen family faction were hostile, they were obviously dumbfounded. For a short period of time, they were like a group of Dragons without a leader. It was destined that they wouldn’t be able to cause any big trouble. As for Lu Ping ‘an, this guy had the intention to raise his arm and call for help. Unfortunately, he was Chen Jiu’s personal disciple and not a proper member of the Chen family faction. This was a natural shackle that couldn’t be crossed. He was still far from having the power to call for hundreds of people.

As for the local factions, they were also leaderless because there was no news of their sect leader, Hong Zijun. They didn’t have any enmity towards Lin Yi, who was able to suppress the Grand Elder. At this moment, their hearts were filled with respect and fear. Even if there were a few people with ulterior motives, they didn’t dare to jump out and challenge Xin Yijie without knowing the truth. The wisest choice was to wait and see.

“Very good. Since the times have changed, then some inappropriate rules should be changed. The North Island’s Green cloud sect belongs to everyone, not just one family. From now on, you can’t put one family first in everything. Everyone must follow the rules, and there will be no more privileges.” Xin Yijie said.

As soon as he said that, many of the disciples from the local factions cheered. They were the ones who had suffered the most from the Chen family faction.

Although the Chen family faction didn’t have many people, they relied on Grand Elder Chen Jiu’s huge Halo. All these years, as long as it involved good things like cultivation resources, they would receive preferential treatment without exception. They ate the meat, and only the disciples of other local factions could drink the soup. Sometimes, they didn’t even get the soup, and they didn’t dare to say anything.

And now, Xin Yijie was calling for the removal of the Chen family’s special privileges. This was undoubtedly a move to win over the hearts of the people. It was simple, but extremely effective.

“I would like to ask this elder Xin, when you said a certain clan, which clan are you referring to?” At this moment, a voice suddenly interrupted everyone’s cheers.

Everyone’s eyes immediately focused on this person. When he saw who it was, Xin Yijie’s pupils shrank. Chen Dongcheng!

His primordial spirit had left his physical body for too long, and his physical body was already showing signs of atrophiing. Normally, it would take at least a month to fully recover. It was a miracle that Chen Dongcheng could stand up now.

“Of course it’s the Chen family of the North Island.” Xin Yijie retorted. He didn’t have the confidence to go up against a vice-leader like Chen Dongcheng, but even Chen Jiu had been killed by Lin Yi. What was there to be afraid of?

“Hmph, Hmph, everyone from the Chen family faction heard that. Times are different now. Even a nobody like him wants to ride on our heads and sh * t on us. Do you agree?” Chen Dongcheng sneered as he led the provocation in public.

When he heard this, Xin Yijie panicked. Previously, the Chen family faction had laid low not only because they were collectively dumbfounded, but also because no one had taken the lead. Now that someone like Chen Dongcheng had suddenly appeared, the situation would definitely go out of control.

As expected, Chen Dongcheng’s provocation caused the expressions of the other Chens to change. They were afraid of Lin Yi, who could kill Chen Jiu, but the person standing in front of them was just an early golden core Xin Yijie. What was there to be afraid of?

“Hey hey, you guys need to think this through-what I just said was all Lin Yi’s orders, are you sure you want to go against his wishes?” Xin Yijie quickly brought Lin Yi out.

“Grandmaster Lin Yi, right? We’re so scared!” Chen Dongcheng pretended to be frightened, but he immediately mocked,””That’s right, I admit that your grand-master Lin Yi is unfathomable, but is that useful? Come, come, tell me, how is your grand-uncle Lin Yi planning to get out of that one step to the sky formation?”

This was the reason why Chen Dongcheng could stand up and challenge Lin Yi. Yes, they didn’t dare to face Lin Yi now, but they still had the ascending to heaven formation. If Lin Yi couldn’t come out, what was there to be afraid of?

“Well …” Xin Yijie choked. He’d thought about it as well, but he’d been too excited to think about it.

“Hehe, you don’t think you can secretly get him an identity token without us knowing, do you?” Chen Dongcheng laughed coldly. It wouldn’t have been hard for Xin Yijie to get Lin Yi an identity card if they were in a situation like this, but with him as the Vice sect leader, everything was going to be useless.

The Grand Elder had fallen, and there was no news of the sect leader. The one with the highest position was the Vice sect leader, Chen Dongcheng. The point was that he wasn’t just the Vice sect leader in name-he was the leader of the Chen family faction. Unless Lin Yi came in person, everyone else would have to bow their heads in front of him.

Xin Yijie was extremely depressed. He had finally managed to stabilize the situation, but this guy had actually woken up halfway. What should he do?

“What’s wrong? Wasn’t he in the limelight just now? it’s not appropriate for elder Xin to give up so quickly, right? That Lin Yi grand-master of yours is still waiting for your good news at ascending Sky Cliff-it’s not good to let him be so anxious, is it?” Chen Dongcheng mocked.

The others looked at each other. The difference between Xin Yijie and Chen Dongcheng was too great. In just a few words, the other party had taken control of the situation.

Xin Yijie’s face turned red. He really didn’t have much confidence in facing Chen Dongcheng!
