Beauty and the Bodyguard

  The so-called negotiation is just to let Suzaku and the others play freely, to see who can get the initiative on both sides. In fact, he, the king of spirit beasts, can't play much role.

  The four elders also understand this, so in the eyes of each other, there are faint sparks breaking out.

   "Several people, don't you want to ask the prince's opinion? What kind of elders in the outer hall, do you think it is rare for the prince to do it?" Xiao Yi laughed, and retorted in a very embarrassing way.

  He is the prince of the majestic sea beast clan, and he doesn't have much interest in the elders of the spirit beast clan, especially if he has to be side by side with two inexplicable alchemists. This simply lowers his status as Prince Xiao Yi!

"Your Highness, the status of an elder in the outer hall of our family may not be more honorable than your current status, but this is for the closer cooperation between us. If Your Highness is not interested, you can arrange for a confidant to participate in it." , that is also possible." Qinglong smiled lightly and took over Xiao Yi's words.

"Elder Qinglong's speech is quite pleasant. This prince is not opposed to becoming an elder of the outer hall of the spirit beast family, but the representative of the center is our partner. That's all, what are those two human alchemists? How dare you rank as the elder of the outer hall with this prince?" Xiao Yi nodded to Qinglong, smiling face-savingly.

"I agree with Prince Xiao Yi's point of view, but Master Lin is the alchemy elder handpicked by the king, and it is not wrong to be the elder of the outer hall alongside the prince. On the contrary, it is the imperial alchemist Zheng Dongsheng. One overlaps with Master Lin, and the other is The king's task of alchemy is also very important, so the elders in the outer hall don't have to think about Master Zheng, right?" Xuanwu hit the snake with the stick, and immediately followed Xiao Yi's words, trying to finalize the matter completely.

"Since this is the case, let Master Zheng be an alternate elder of the outer hall. He will not participate in the usual meetings and decisions, and will fill in when there is a vacancy. It is easier to vote with seven elders in the cabinet and the outer hall." Suzaku did not Continue to insist, although Master Zheng was recruited by Qinglong, he is not their direct descendant after all, even if he barely becomes the elder of the outer hall, it is not certain whether he will be able to help.

   What's more, the Sea Beast Clan and the center are all Suzaku's reinforcements. Xiao Yi and the center still account for the majority of the elders in the outer hall, and it doesn't matter whether Zheng Dongsheng is there or not.

  "The alternate is the alternate, Elder Suzaku has the final say, then let's continue the previous topic and discuss how to better cooperate." Baihu waved his hand, with an expression of giving Suzaku face.

  Lin Yi was refreshed, and he only hoped that this time, instead of going for a formality, as before, everything was discussed in advance, but something useful could be discussed.

   With the name of the elder of the outer hall on his head, Lin Yi can participate in the discussion with integrity and confidence this time. Even if he doesn't speak, he can grasp the plan of the spirit beast family in the first place.

   I don’t know what the king of spirit beasts thinks. He would appoint Lin Yi as one of the elders of the outer hall, and replace it with ordinary spirit beasts.

"Let's go here first. The king is also tired after the coronation ceremony. Distinguished guests, take a rest first. Let's arrange a meeting of elders tomorrow to discuss the direction of cooperation." Suzaku waved his hand casually, directly terminating today's meeting process .

  Lin Yi was secretly disappointed, but he couldn't say much.

  Tomorrow is tomorrow, and it just so happens that he can sort out what happened today, and maybe he can find some clues that he has overlooked.

The king of spirit beasts stood up and said, "I won't be attending tomorrow's meeting. If there is anything I need to know, all the elders will report it to you at that time. In addition, if Elder Lin Yi is free, you can come to me. Wang is very interested in the elixir refined by Elder Lin."

"Thank you for your love, Your Majesty. Lin Yi is always available to explain alchemy to your Majesty." Lin Yi quickly smiled and clasped his fists. Everyone can see how the King of Spirit Beasts protects him. He himself is very puzzled by this. The opportunity to talk to the king of spirit beasts alone would not do him any harm.

"Your Majesty, let's go back to rest first. Elder Lin Yi needs to familiarize himself with the affairs of the elders in the outer hall first, and then prepare for tomorrow's elders meeting. There should be no way to meet the Majesty in a short time! If the Majesty is interested in alchemy, you can find the Queen's Alchemy Teacher Zheng Dongsheng asked." Suzaku glanced at Lin Yi lightly, and unceremoniously prevented the private meeting between the king of spirit beasts and Lin Yi.

As a subject, it is too rude to speak to the king of spirit beasts like this, but the people present have already seen the true status of the king of spirit beasts, and everyone knows that the former spirit beast clan is still Suzaku. have the greatest say.

   "Okay, what Elder Suzaku said is also very reasonable. Elder Lin, you should familiarize yourself with the powers and responsibilities of the elders in the outer hall first! We will talk later when we have a chance." The king of spirit beasts smiled faintly, and did not respond to Suzaku's strength.

  In fact, the king of spirit beasts has disobeyed Suzaku intentionally or unintentionally several times today. He also knows that he can't do anything to Suzaku for the time being.

   "Yes! Don't worry, Your Majesty. After I get to know you well, I will definitely find a chance to meet you." Lin Yi smiled slightly. Since it is not a good time now, let's talk about it later.

  As long as you are still in the spirit beast clan, you will always have the opportunity to meet the king of spirit beasts alone, and find out why he defends you so much!

Seeing that the king of spirit beasts was about to leave, Xiao Yi and the two men in bamboo hats in the center stood up and sent them off respectfully. After all, he was still the supreme ruler of the spirit beast clan on the surface, and there must be no lack of etiquette, otherwise it would affect the future. adverse effects of cooperation.

  After a while, the people in the main hall dispersed, only Lin Yi and Li Zaoyi were led by the two spirit beast guards at the door to the side hall next to them.

   It is better to say it is monitoring than leading the way, but Lin Yi doesn't care, as long as he can stay in the palace, it is a rare and good opportunity.

   Along the way, Lin Yi could feel a vague divine sense sweeping back and forth. Obviously, he and Li Zaoyi were still the focus of monitoring by the spirit beast clan, and they were not suitable for doing anything for the time being.

"You two, please rest here. If you need anything, you can tell people outside to do it! I just hope that you two don't walk around casually. The palace is different from other places. Without permission, it is easy to walk into some forbidden areas, and they will be killed. !" The spirit beast guard who led the way gave Lin Yi a warning with a smile, then turned and left. (I will go out in the second half of the month to participate in the reading author salon, so temporarily change it to 2 updates per day.)
