Beauty and the Bodyguard

Judging from the entire plan, the mastermind could be the emperor or other big shots behind the scenes, but it could not be Xiao Mang himself.

After all, he was the target and the one who was the most passive in the overall situation.

“Speaking of which, I still have to thank you.”

” You’re right.” Xiao Mang revealed a meaningful smile.” If you hadn’t done that, I might never have been able to take this step.”

” But now, the boat has already passed the Ten Thousand Mountains. It’s all thanks to you that I’ve seen a whole new world!”

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes.

This Grand Tutor was like a completely different person from before.

Xiao Mang leisurely sat back on his armchair and stretched out his hand.” Let’s not talk about idle talk. Let’s finish our business first. You can read the emperor’s decree. Although it’s useless, I’m sure you’re still hoping to get lucky. You won’t give up until you read it.”

“Impudent!”

” How dare you disrespect the Emperor as the Grand Tutor?” Wang Feng shouted angrily.” Xiao Mang, do you know your crime?”

However, Xiao Mang merely moved a finger.

Wang Feng, as the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guards and a Royal Expert with a combat power of 300 plus, flew away without saying a word.

The entire place was deathly silent.

Especially Wang Feng’s personal attendants, they were all dumbfounded.

No one knew Wang Feng’s strength better than they did. Although he couldn’t be compared to Wu Wudi, who had explosive combat strength, his combat strength was definitely not inferior.

Even among the lower-ranked powerhouses of the royal family, he was definitely one of the ones who could fight.

On the other hand, although Xiao Mang was the Grand Tutor of one of the three dukes, he was not outstanding in terms of strength.

After all, he had always been labeled as a moral role model.

A moral role model had nothing to do with being able to fight, at least in the eyes of ordinary people.

Even if he had hidden his strength, it would not have been so exaggerated.

It was impossible for an ordinary existence to suddenly rise to the top of the royal power in just a few days, right?

What happened to him?

Lin Yi was shocked as well.

He had expected Xiao Mang’s change, but the extent of the change was still beyond his expectations.

Wang Feng’s personal subordinates were about to attack.

They were Wang Feng’s best friends, and no matter what, they had to advance and retreat together with Wang Feng.

Lin Yi stopped him with a look.

One of them tried to force his way past Lin Yi, but Lin Yi stopped him with one hand.

Everyone was shocked again.

Xiao Mang alone was enough to overturn everyone’s understanding. How could this newcomer who had just emerged from the Inner Court have such frightening strength? 𐍂ᴀℕ𝐨𝔟ΕṨ

After all, the person Lin Yi had single-handedly pinned down wasn’t weak either. He was the strongest among them, and his strength had already reached the threshold of the King’s Power. He could even fight with Wang Feng normally.

He didn’t expect that Lin Yi wouldn’t even have the chance to use his strength.

How big was the difference in strength between the two sides?

All of a sudden, the way they looked at Lin Yi changed, and they all looked at him with silent respect.

It was the instinct of cultivators to respect the strong.

They could look down on Lin Yi’s status, they could mock him for being lucky, but when it came to actual strength, they couldn’t say anything.

He had to submit.

Xiao Mang was also surprised. He looked down and commented,” Your strength is stronger than I expected. No wonder Tian Zi chose you. He chose between you and Wang Feng. If it were me, I would choose you too.”

“Then I have to thank Grand Tutor Xiao for his high opinion.”

Lin Yi’s lips curled up as he took out the emperor’s decree and read it out.

Xiao Mang sat on the armchair casually. He smiled and waved his hand.” Go ahead. I’m listening.”

Everyone looked at each other.

The emperor was a puppet emperor. It was not rare for his emperor’s decree to be looked down upon, especially by the seven kings.

However, the person in front of him was a model of morality and the most loyal defender of etiquette, especially when facing the emperor. In the past, if anyone else was the slightest bit rude, they would be sternly reprimanded.

Who would have thought that such a person would face the emperor’s decree in such a frivolous and arrogant manner!

Even the King of Qin would not have such a straightforward expression of arrogance on his face.

Lin Yi glanced at the man and read out,”The emperor has decreed that Xiao Mang, the tutor, is arrogant and rude. He deceives the emperor and his subjects…”

There was a lot of content in the emperor’s decree, including all the things that Xiao Mang had done in the past that did not conform to etiquette.

It could be seen that the emperor had wanted to touch this Grand Tutor for a long time.

Even Lin Yi couldn’t help but think that it was ridiculous.

To a certain extent, this pair of teacher and student could be considered to complement each other. They were a pair of oddities.

“.. In other words, virtue is not worthy of position!”

The emperor’s decree stopped abruptly.

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, observing the man’s reaction.

Normally speaking, the emperor’s personal evaluation of a person who was not worthy of his position would be a devastating blow to Xiao Mang, the Grand Tutor, who had established himself based on virtue.

After all, this was equivalent to the official verdict. Combined with the backlash from the public opinion in the past few days, no matter from which angle, it was enough to make the other party collapse in an instant.

However, he didn’t.

Xiao Mang was still sitting there with his legs crossed, not looking uncomfortable at all. He looked at Lin Yi as if he was watching a joke.

“Finished reading?”

“Are you disappointed that I didn’t die on the spot?” Xiao Mang mocked.

“I’m not disappointed, but I’m surprised.” Lin Yi shook his head.

“Accident?”

Xiao Mang laughed out loud, pointing at Lin Yi’s nose. You haven’t seen anything. What right do you have to say that it was an accident?”

“You’ve seen it before?” Lin Yi didn’t argue.

” I’m Heaven and Earth,” Xiao Mang said as he stood up.

As he spoke, a mysterious power quickly condensed on his body. It condensed on the surface of his body at an extremely high density, revealing a layer of faint golden color. It was as if he was wearing a golden robe.

“The Golden Robe of Virtue?” Lin Yi’s eyes twitched.

The profound aura that the golden robe emitted was clearly seen by him under the analysis of the world’s will.

The essence of this aura was morality.

It was the morality used to unite the hearts of the people in the world.

This time, it was Xiao Mang’s turn to be surprised.” I just said that you’re a worm floating at the bottom of a well. I didn’t expect you to have some knowledge. You can recognize my Golden Robe of Virtue. Hehe.”

“This isn’t your Golden Clothes of Virtue.” Lin Yi shook his head.
