You CI 'er was a little resistant to the Prince of Nanjiang's hospitality, but she still smiled brightly.
"Daren has come in such a menacing manner, I don't know what matter you have?"
You CI 'er sat down obediently, raised her neck, and took a sip. The scene was as beautiful as a pure Swan, and no one could bear to profane it.
A burning look flashed in the depths of Nanjiang King's eyes, but he suppressed it immediately. He also raised his wine glass and took a small sip."Miss CI 'er, there's no need to be nervous. This King has said that no matter what you do, this King will bear the responsibility for you and will not let you suffer the slightest grievance."
You CI 'er was slightly shocked. She covered her red lips and said,""Did I do something wrong?"
Nanjiang King laughed."Of course, it's not your fault, miss CI 'er. However, a clever and clever woman like you should be clear of my intentions. This concerns the lives of a team of my men, so I can't afford to be careless. Otherwise, it will chill the hearts of the people."
You CI 'er hesitated for a moment before she probed,""Sir, have you ever thought that there might be some other hidden story behind this?"
Nanjiang King's expression changed slightly. He looked at her beautiful face that was inches away from him.""Miss CI 'er, are you protecting that man?"
When he said that, you CI 'er could not continue.
The main point was not that person, but that man!
If she continued to speak up for Lin Yi now, no matter how reasonable she was, there would only be one result-it would cause King Nanjiang to view Lin Yi as an enemy.
In other words, no matter what she said for Lin Yi now, it would only have negative effects on him, even worse than before.
Maybe Nanjiang King was still worried and wouldn't kill her, but if she said that she was protecting Lin Yi, then Lin Yi would have to die.
"Sir, you've misunderstood. Lin shaoxia is an important guest of our Central Hotel. If something happens to him here, our Central hotel's reputation will be greatly affected. Reputation is the foundation of our hotel."
You CI 'er explained in a neutral tone, cutting off her personal relationship with Lin Yi. No matter what, she had to act like she was doing everything for the public.
Nanjiang King nodded in satisfaction. He raised his wine glass and clinked it with you CI 'er' S. He said leisurely, "Don't worry, miss CI 'er. As long as that person doesn't seek his own death, I won't let anyone do anything to him in the hotel. Even if I want to do anything to him, I'll wait until we're out of the hotel. I won't cause you any trouble, miss CI' er."
In other words, as long as Lin Yi took a step out of the hotel, it would be a different story.
But even so, you CI 'er couldn't let out a sigh of relief. Lin Yi couldn't just hide in the hotel forever, not to mention that with Nanjiang King's attitude today, Lin Yi couldn't just stay in the hotel forever.
The guarantee of a powerful figure like him could be taken seriously at times, but most of the time, it could only be treated as a fart. If he really wanted to climb up the ladder, he would really be courting death.
You CI 'er, who was well-versed in the ways of the world, naturally understood this.
The Prince of Nanjiang slowly sipped his red wine and did not seem to have any intention of urging her. In fact, he enjoyed the feeling of being alone with you CI 'er and even took the initiative to pour another glass for you CI' er, as if he could not wait to sit there for the whole day.
You CI 'er, on the other hand, felt uneasy for the first time. After struggling for a moment, she finally took the initiative to instruct the waiter,""Go and ask Lin shaoxia to come down."
She had no choice. At this point, she could only choose to hand him over.
It wasn't that she didn't want to protect Lin Yi, but the price she had to pay was too high. Going against Nanjiang Wang for Lin Yi wasn't something her rationality would allow, and neither would the center behind her.
Soon, Lin Yi arrived at the main hall with Wang shiqing.
You CI 'er didn't mention Wang shiqing on purpose because she wanted to get Wang shiqing out of this mess. She couldn't protect Lin Yi, but she was confident that she could protect a little girl like Wang shiqing.
The problem was that the little girl did not agree to it.
There was no need for a reason-no matter what, Wang shiqing was determined to be with Lin Yi. Unless he knocked her out, there was no way to persuade her otherwise.
Lin Yi didn't do it in the end, not only because he respected the girl's wishes, but more importantly, he was worried about leaving her alone in the room upstairs.
It wasn't that he was questioning you CI 'er's intentions, but with Wang shiqing's close interaction with you CI' er, Lin Yi believed that you CI 'er did have the heart to protect her, but it was hard to say how much of a test this heart could stand.
What if Nanjiang King suffered a little here and wanted to capture this little girl to threaten him to submit? would you CI 'er be able to withstand that?
Logically speaking, it was more likely that things would turn out the way they were now. Once Nanjiang King forced her, she could only give in. Furthermore, she had a good reason to prioritize the overall situation.
In the end, they were just acquaintances and did not have any real friendship, so they could not stand any test.
Lin Yi's gaze landed on the Prince of Nanjiang immediately. Although the Prince didn't reveal any aura and even tried to hide it when he was beside you CI 'er, Lin Yi still felt a huge pressure.
His intuition told him that if he were to fight this man now, he would most likely be in danger. It could be seen that the Smoking Man's warning was not an alarmist.
The key was that there was more than one person on the other side. The Nanjiang guards that were scattered all over the hall were all elites. Their strength was at the consummate level of heaven crushing. Moreover, they were emitting some kind of extremely dangerous military aura.
If these people were good at some military joint attack, even with Lin Yi's confidence, he wouldn't be able to escape unscathed.
However, even though the situation seemed to be overwhelmingly disadvantageous, Lin Yi was not completely unprepared.
Don't forget that he had previously specially refined a pile of profound-grade talismans, especially the profound-grade Dharma destruction talismans. If they were to really fight, these things had a chance to have a miraculous effect and even turn the tables, but the chances were not that great.
Lin Yi sized up Nanjiang King and silently planned his next move, but Nanjiang King didn't even look at him and just waved his hand to give the order.
"Take him down."
At his command, the Nanjiang Dukes in the hall instantly surrounded him. Their movements were so fast that no one could react to them. They were like a group of precise and unsolvable killing machines.
"Sir, that's not what you said just now!" You CI 'er's expression changed.
"Don't be impatient. These people were personally trained by this King, so they will definitely be clean. They will only capture a small character and won't destroy your hotel. "
From the beginning to the end, Nanjiang King didn't even look at Lin Yi, as if he really didn't care. It was the complete opposite of him showing up personally.
He didn't come here for Lin Yi, but for you CI 'er.
This was in line with his consistent style of character. It was just a few underlings who died, and a small character from the outside. How was it worth his attention?
