Beauty and the Bodyguard

” The most dangerous place is the safest place,” Ma Xiaozhu said confidently.” Have you heard of this saying?” I can guarantee that Lin Yi won’t be able to guess that we’re hiding here.”

Zhou Youshi thought for a moment and finally agreed.

Ma Xiaozhu instantly felt her conscience being condemned.

This person was so innocent that she couldn’t bear to lie to her, but thinking about it, if she didn’t lie to such a person, it would be unbearable.

“Lin Yi won’t do anything to her anyway. It’s safer to send her to Lin Yi than to let her wander around on her own.”

Ma Xiaozhu prepared herself mentally.

However, when they saw the main character go on stage, they were instantly stunned.

This person wasn’t Lin Yi at all!

Everyone looked at each other, but a few people reacted and quickly knelt down.

“Greetings, Sixth Master Han!”

Although the others had never seen Chief Han before, they understood that this person was an important figure in the Han Residence when they heard this title. They immediately followed suit and knelt.

Before this, the Fishing Emperor alone was enough to make them unable to raise their heads. Now that they were facing the important figures of the Han Imperial Residence, they naturally did not have any temper at all.

Ma Xiaozhu nimbly blended in.

However, Zhou Youshi, who was beside him, stood there stiffly, suddenly standing out from the crowd.

Ma Xiaozhu was shocked. She quickly pulled her sleeve.” Kneel down and lower your head. He’s going to find you.”

“I’m the Eldest Princess,” Zhou Youshi said firmly.” I only kneel to the Emperor and Empress Mother. I don’t kneel to anyone else, especially the foreign officials.”

Ma Xiaozhu complained inwardly.

She had wanted to bring Zhou Youshi to Lin Yi, and take the opportunity to see him again. Now that the person who came wasn’t Lin Yi, and this person was so stubborn, she became the center of attention.

What would happen next was completely out of her control.

As expected, Leader Han’s gaze landed on Zhou Youshi, and his eyelids twitched.

” Your Highness!” Chief Han quickly walked over and knelt on one knee.” Chief Han of the Imperial Residence of King Han greets the Eldest Princess!”

This time, not only was Ma Xiaozhu dumbfounded, but everyone else was.

” What?” Ma Xiaozhu was dumbfounded.” Whose Eldest Princess are you?” she asked.

Although the other party had called herself the Eldest Princess the moment they met, she did not take it seriously at all. She did not even think in the direction of the Inner Court. She only thought that she was the princess of some remote small country.

After all, for high-level cultivators, the status of a princess was really not worth much.

But if it was the eldest princess of the inner court, then the weight would be completely different.

“Presumptuous!” Leader Han shouted in a deep voice. Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to the Eldest Princess like this!”

Then, he shot Ma Xiaozhu a look.

Ma Xiaozhu was scared out of her wits. She couldn’t withstand the pressure of such a powerful figure. It was possible that she would be crushed into meat paste on the spot!

” It’s alright,” Zhou Youshi said in time.” She’s my good friend.”

“Yes.”

Only then did Leader Han retract his pressure.

Ma Xiaozhu let out a sigh of relief and looked at Zhou Youshi gratefully. She felt guilty in her heart. She had wanted to sell her to Lin Yi, but now she was relying on him to save her life.

“Your Royal Highness, why are you here?” Chief Han hesitated for a moment before asking in a low voice.

Previously, when the Fishing Emperor had met with an accident, he had immediately rushed to the Jinghai Exotic Land after the Han Imperial Residence had received the news. He knew nothing about the commotion that had occurred in the Inner Imperial Court.

“I was caught by Lin Yi,” Zhou Youshi said awkwardly.

Any normal person would have the same reaction as him when they heard this news.

Leader Han was immediately furious.” This person is so audacious. He actually dares to target the Eldest Princess. He really doesn’t knowwhat death is!” Eldest Princess, please wait a moment. This humble servant will take his head now!”

As he spoke, he turned around and left.

“Lin Yi just accidentally fished her here, he doesn’t have any bad intentions,” Ma Xiaozhu said anxiously.

“Do you have the right to speak here?” Chief Han glared at her.

IIJ II

Ma Xiaozhu did not dare to utter a word and could only look at Zhou Youshi for help.

“Lin Yi may have lured me here, but other than that, he didn’t do anything too overboard. Maybe there’s some misunderstanding.” Zhou Youshi thought for a moment.

Chief Han frowned.” Your Highness, you can’t judge a person’s heart by their appearance. Even if Lin Yi didn’t commit any other crimes, just luring you here is already a capital offense!”

“This matter concerns the dignity of the inner court. I can’t be careless!”

Zhou Youshi was helpless. She had not expected things to turn out like this.

She did run away from Lin Yi, and she was a little afraid of him, but it wasn’t that she was certain that Lin Yi was a wicked person.

Seeing that Chief Han was about to kill Lin Yi, Zhou Youshi quickly said,” Let’s talk about this later. Minister Han gathered so many people, there must be something else. It’s more important.”

Chief Han hesitated for a moment. Although everyone present was kneeling on the ground and seemed to be submissive, they were actually communicating with each other through divine sense. The entire place was filled with gossipy souls.

“Then please wait a moment, Eldest Princess.”

With a single glance, someone immediately stepped forward respectfully and invited Zhou Youshi to the back hall.

Ma Xiaozhu was quick to react, and she quickly got up and followed.

” You’re right.” Chief Han looked down coldly at the crowd.” Whoever dares to go out and gossip about today’s matter will have their entire family wiped out.”

His tone was calm, but it made everyone’s hair stand on end.

Everyone lowered their heads even more.

Chief Han continued,” The second matter is that the Fishing Emperor is dead. The position of the number one person in the Jinghai Exotic Land cannot be left empty. You guys recommend a few people. Report them up and let our King Han decide personally.”

Everyone was stunned. After a moment of reaction, they all revealed happy expressions.

They all thought that Lin Yi would be the one to take first place-after all, he killed the Fishing King himself. Although the Jinghai Flying Land was the backyard of King Han’s mansion, it was still a place where the strong ruled.

But now that Chief Han said this, it meant that Lin Yi was going to be eliminated, and it meant that their chance had come.

Chief Han paused for a moment before speaking again.” The third thing, remember this. There is only one family that can make you kneel, and that is our Han Imperial Residence. If anyone’ s knees go weak and kneel to another family, there will no longer be a place for him in the Jing Ocean.”

Everyone agreed in unison.

“Let’s go.”

Without hesitation, Chief Han turned around and walked to the back hall.

Zhou Youshi was talking to Ma Xiaozhu about Lin Yi. She couldn’t wait to see him come in.” Minister Han, can you contact the inner court now? It’s my mother’s birthday in a few days. I want to go back and prepare.”

Although Ma Xiaozhu’s repeated persuasion had convinced her that Lin Yi didn’t have any ill intentions towards her, she still felt uneasy and hoped to return to the inner court as soon as possible.
