Beauty and the Bodyguard

8187 chapter 8185-

“If we do this this time, what about the next time? If there’s one more trouble and you’re impeached, will vice Hall Master Gu have no choice but to leave?”

“Impudent! I’ve been working hard for so many years and have never made a mistake. How could someone impeach me?”

gu shi’s face changed and he rebuked unhappily,””how can sima yi be compared to this seat? just look at how long it has been, and there have already been two large-scale complaints and impeachments from the public! there’s no need for evidence, and there’s no mistake in punishing him!”

“deputy hall master gu is really an authoritative figure. is our martial alliance branch going to be charged with groundless crimes?!”

the artifact language sneered back, protecting lin yi.

the first hall master looked like he was having a headache. he waved his hand impatiently and said,””stop fighting! hurry up and tell me how to deal with the matters outside!”

“first hall master, i’ve already made it very clear. fire sima yi and admit that this incident was all sima yi’s fault. then, the branch will come forward to compensate the families of the deceased. naturally, this incident will be settled!”

gu shi stubbornly brought the topic back, which naturally triggered a rebuttal from the language of monsters.

“first hall master, i know sima yi’s character the best. he can’t possibly refine poison pills, much less intentionally sell poison pills. there must be something fishy about this matter. we can’t make a hasty conclusion. we must investigate it thoroughly!”

The language of living things did not want to continue arguing with Gu Shi, so he cupped his fists at the first hall Master and said,””I can guarantee that this matter has nothing to do with Sima Yi! Hall Master, please investigate!”

The first hall Master didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. This topic couldn’t be changed, could it?

Gu Shi wanted to say something, but the first hall Master spoke first,””Vice Hall Master Hua, you can’t be so absolute! Refining pills this sort of thing was very hard to say! Sima Yi might not intentionally refine poison pills, but if there’s a slight mistake, no one will know, right?”

“For example, the last time Ouyang Changqing wanted to save me, the elixir he refined also contained poison and almost took my life. He didn’t do it on purpose. He didn’t even know it would turn out like this, so it’s really hard to say!”

The artifact language’s face turned black!

The first hall Master was implying that he believed that Lin Yi could make poison pills, so this could also be Lin Yi’s doing!

In other words, he had the intention to push the blame to Lin Yi!

“As the saying goes, people make mistakes and horses make mistakes. It’s inevitable for Sima Yi to make some mistakes. After all, no one is perfect! I think vice Hall Master Gu’s words are very reasonable!”

As expected, the first hall Master already had a preference.

This person was most afraid of trouble, especially trouble brought by the people.

At this time, there was a simple solution. After some weighing, he immediately had an idea.

“You see, we’re not trying to punish Sima Yi right now, we’re just expelling him on the surface, and the compensation will be borne by our branch. He doesn’t need to pay anything. As long as this matter is settled, it’ll be the same to let him come back in the future!”

The first hall Master added when he saw the strange expression on the language of the living things.

The artifact language’s eyes turned cold and it sneered. What a good plan!

“First hall Master, Sima Yi would never do such a thing. If we let him take the blame this time, do you think he will come back in the future? Are you sure he won’t hate our nado martial Alliance branch with such a bad name?”

The language of monsters knew Lin Yi’s abilities very well-he was an array master, an alchemy master, a Medical Master, and even a rare all-rounded mentor who could improve many people’s strength in a short time!

If this kind of person became an enemy, he would definitely be the most terrifying kind!

Splashing dirty water on him?

Do you really think that I’m a clay figurine that you can manipulate as you please?

“Hehe, a mere Sima Yi, what can he do? According to you, vice Hall Master Hua, shouldn’t we not let him off so easily, and should instead eliminate him completely and finish him off?”

The corner of Gu Shi’s mouth curled into a mocking smile,””As expected, a man can’t be without poison. However, what you’ve said makes sense. Secretly get rid of Sima Yi and end all troubles!”

The language of the living things glared at Gu Shi with its fists clenched tightly. It almost could not hold back its anger and wanted to kill this guy!

The first hall Master didn’t say anything, but he revealed a thoughtful expression.

Beast transformation’s heart skipped a beat when he saw this-he was afraid that this irresponsible first hall Master would really do something to Lin Yi!

“First hall Master, we really can’t do this. As long as we investigate it clearly, we can calm down the situation. What if it’s just a simple case? Was there a need to target a branch higher-up now? Aren’t you afraid of disgracing the hearts of others by doing this?”

Beast language quickly tried to persuade the first hall Master not to really go against Lin Yi,”Also, Hall Master, have you forgotten that the pill that Sima Yi refined can save your life!”

Wasn’t this a reminder to the first hall Master that Lin Yi had saved his life before? this guy was cold by nature, and saving his life before was nothing.

It was a subtle reminder to the first hall Master that he’d need Lin Yi’s pills to have a higher chance of completing the next mission.

The first hall Master hesitated for a moment and then snorted,””Sima Yi’s skill level is not very stable. It might have been a coincidence that he cured my injury last time. Next time, I may not be so lucky. Wouldn’t you die without even knowing how you died?”

Thinking back to the mission, in a life and death situation, he took a life-saving pill in preparation for the last fight, but the poison acted up in the end. How aggrieved would that be?

And so the first hall Master was determined, acting as if he didn’t care about Lin Yi’s skills anymore!

“Hall Master!”

The artifact language was really angry!

How could there be such an ungrateful and irresponsible person?

It was simply unreasonable for such a person to become the first hall Master of the martial Alliance’s branch!

It was no wonder that Gu Shi’s faction wanted to compete for the position of Hall Master, both openly and secretly. Even the language of the living things had the idea of overthrowing the hall Master and replacing him!

This was too infuriating!

“There’s no need to say anything more. This matter has been decided. We’ll do it according to vice Hall Master Gu’s suggestion. Vice Hall Master Gu, you’ll draw up the notice and then release it as soon as possible to appease the people!”

The first hall Master had made up his mind-he pushed Lin Yi out without hesitation to calm the situation down.

He didn’t need to care about the truth-in his heart, Lin Yi was just a newly promoted middle to high level, he didn’t have much of a Foundation.

What’s the big deal if he slipped away?

If it was a Deputy Hall Master like the language of monsters, he would not have made such a brainless decision!

“Yes, Hall Master! I’ll get it ready!”

Gu Shi smiled proudly. As he bowed and accepted the order, he said,””As for the matter of appeasing the people, vice Hall Master Ouyang is already doing it!”
