Beauty and the Bodyguard

Clearly, he was restraining Kong Shenglin.

If Kong Shenglin wanted to harm Lin Yi now, he could attack immediately.

Everyone’s expression changed slightly.

They were surprised that Gu Jiumu would protect Lin Yi to this extent. Although Gu Jiumu and Kong Shenglin had been at each other’s throats before, this was the first time they had seen such a dangerous situation.

Of course, this didn’t affect Lin Yi at all.

He naturally appreciated Gu Jiumu’s good intentions, but with the World Will of the New World in front of him, his actions might not be completely unnecessary, but they were meaningless.

The biggest meaning was to show everyone the tacit understanding and trust between them.

However, what surprised Lin Yi was that Gu Jiumu’s spirit sense had already formed a unique will, and it wasn’t any weaker than Kong Shenglin’s.

A moment later, Kong Shenglin slowly withdrew his consciousness and his expression became extremely gloomy.

Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel pity.

In such a short period of time, without alarming the other party, even the information that could be analyzed by the world’s will was very limited. It was far from enough to truly see the full details of the other party.

It was a pity, but it was also a pleasant surprise.

Although he did not manage to pry out many things, at Kong Shenglin’s level, anything on him was a priceless treasure to other cultivators.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that the gains from this short period of time were enough to save Lin Yi decades of trouble!

For example, how to condense his own consciousness and will.

Strictly speaking, as an Ancient God cultivator, Lin Yi had a natural advantage in this area. After all, he could mobilize the world will of the new world right from the start.

However, this kind of mobilization was very shallow and even crude.

To describe it in four words, it was a reckless waste of natural resources.

Lin Yi didn’t think so before, but after seeing Kong Shenglin’s consciousness, the extreme control he had made him feel ashamed.

If the effect of the world’s will was 100, with his current rough way of using it, he could at most unleash about 30 effects.

If he could reach Kong Shenglin’s level of control, the final effect would at least double!

Luckily, he didn’t know anything about it before, and he still needed to figure it out now. He had a rough idea of what to do, and it was only a matter of time for him to turn it into reality.

The list in front of Lin Yi suddenly disappeared.

Looking at the gloomy face of Kong Shenglin, Lin Yi immediately realized that the man had taken back his authority.

“So that was just a test period for the giant’s authority. I thought it was a standard for every giant.” Lin Yi said with a weird expression.

Xi Rulai heard this and gloated. He laughed loudly.” There is only one person who has the authority to manage a giant, and that is Giant Kong. Do you really think that anyone who enters can enjoy such benefits?”

“Since you’ve already climbed to this step, you shouldn’t be so naive, right?”

” Without Big Guy Kong’s approval, even if you’re officially promoted, you still won’t have the authority to do so. Hehe, you’d better weigh your own weight before you decide.”

The other tycoons from the strongest factions also smiled.

They had been suppressed by Lin Yi’s aura since the beginning, and now they could finally vent their anger.

Reality proved that no matter how strong Lin Yi was, he was still an egg hitting a rock when he was up against the number one person in the world, Kong Shenglin!

Lin Yi frowned.

He had already guessed that things would not be so simple. The sugar-coated bullets thrown by Kong Shenglin were not so delicious. Since he could give them, he naturally could take them back.

Even so, Lin Yi couldn’t help but hesitate after looking at the list.

Putting everything else aside, at least he was determined to get that hourglass.

” You’re right.” Kong Shenglin’s expression returned to his aloof and aloof look.” If you think it through, we can still trade at any time.”

Everyone looked at Lin Yi playfully.

This was also where Kong Shenglin was brilliant.

If he didn’t have anything substantial at first, it would be impossible for him to make Lin Yi yield without fighting him.

Only when Lin Yi could see the benefits would there be a chance of success.

The best part of this plan was that once Lin Yi chose to compromise, it would be the same as splitting the alliance between him and Gu Jiumu.

Even if there was no real effect for a while, as long as this needle was inserted, it would definitely become a hidden danger.

To be precise, it would become a time bomb that would explode at any time.

Lin Yi raised his eyebrows. Gu Jiumu suddenly spoke up,”I just used my privileges to buy something. Lin Yi, if you’re free, come to my place later. I can give you something.”

Everyone’s expressions changed, especially Kong Shenglin. His expression instantly darkened again.

” As the authority manager, I can indeed take back the authority of the giant at any time,” Gu Jiumu said faintly.” Unfortunately, the top-tier giant is not among them.”

Lin Yi understood.

No wonder Gu Jiumu was still able to stand on equal footing with Kong Shenglin despite having such a huge authority advantage.

Kong Shenglin could indeed block the authority of the other giants at any time, but as long as he couldn’t block the top-tier giants, it meant that even if they didn’t go through him, the priceless treasures on the list could still be bought. They just needed to go through the channels of the other top-tier giants.

“Sure, I’d like to ask Gu Julao something too.” Lin Yi nodded happily under everyone’s gaze.

He and Gu Jiumu had some kind of natural tacit understanding, but they had not officially interacted so far. To be honest, he had been looking forward to this for a long time.

Gu Jiumu nodded lightly and sent a message over.

Lin Yi’s heart skipped a beat after reading the message.

The content itself was very simple. It simply set a time to invite him to visit, three days later.

It didn’t seem like much at first glance. Gu Jiumu was a top-class man, and he invited outsiders to his house. Moreover, he even set a time so seriously. This only showed that he valued Lin Yi. Even the other ordinary men didn’t receive such treatment.

But Lin Yi knew that this was only the surface..
