Not only did he fail to kill Lin Yi, but he also damaged house Wang's reputation. He had lost all his face as Nanjiang's King. It wasn't worth it!
At his level, an ordinary victory or defeat was no longer a big deal. He had to consider the impact of everything.
Seeing this, you CI 'er quickly struck while the iron was hot."The talisman patrician family, the Wang family, is like the sun at midday. Their influence has far surpassed the southern District and has expanded to the entire Jianghai. They're the real Wang Bancheng, especially since they've always been the most protective of their own."
At this point, the Prince of Nanjiang was really a little hesitant.
His current situation was really not good. At first glance, it seemed to be boundless, but in reality, danger was lurking everywhere.
The city Lord's mansion at the top had always wanted to dismiss the four Lords. He had always had the worst reputation, so he was naturally the first to bear the brunt. The local forces that should have been his solid backing had begun to be distant from him in these years.
To put it bluntly, he was the spokesperson of the local forces since he was able to sit on the position of Nanjiang King.
The talisman patrician Wang family was the leader of the southern district's local forces, and could be said to be the true boss behind the scenes. He, on the other hand, was just an employee.
These words were very dejected, but it was also a cruel reality. The Wang family might not fall out with him because of an unofficial subordinate, but if the Wang family was unhappy, he would also feel uncomfortable.
For the Nanjiang King to be able to sit in his current position, he was naturally not a brainless idiot. He knew all too well who he could offend and who he could not. He could even annihilate some of the clans without any care, but for an existence like the Wang clan, he could not easily offend even a servant.
"Alright, for the sake of the Wang family and lady CI 'er, I'll let you go."
Nanjiang King was also a formidable character who could let go of things easily. He immediately waved his hand and sent out a stream of true Qi to wake up the unconscious Nanjiang King's guards. He then turned around and left.
However, before he left, Nanjiang King left a profound sentence,""Kid, you better pray that you're chosen by the Wang family."
If he wasn't chosen by house Wang, the consequences would be obvious-Nanjiang King would use everything he had to kill Lin Yi.
Lin Yi let out a sigh of relief. He didn't expect a sudden death trap to be resolved in this way. He turned around and bowed to you CI 'er,""Thank you for your understanding."
Even though you CI 'er did not show any loyalty that exceeded her duty, she was truly credited for being able to stand here safe and sound.
You CI 'er shook her head humbly."Young hero Lin, you're too kind. We were able to take the risk this time partly because of the Wang family's great reputation, but also because you fought for it yourself. If it wasn't for your amazing performance just now, the Wang family might not have been able to scare him. After all, you're only a candidate in name and not a real Wang family member."
The key was to use violence to hasten the conversation.
If Lin Yi was just a noob, Nanjiang King would kill him if he wanted to, but now that Lin Yi had shown his strength, he had to think twice.
"No matter what, it's all thanks to manager you for turning the tables for me today. I, Lin Yi, will never forget this great favor."
Lin Yi said seriously.
He did not like to owe others favors, especially such a heavy one. However, he had to remember this favor that you CI 'er had done so that he could repay her in the future.
You CI 'er would not be arrogant at this time. After a round of rejection, she reminded him seriously,""As for the Wang family, young hero Lin, you must put in more effort to fight for them. Nanjiang King is a vengeful person. If he knows that you were not selected in the end, he will definitely make a comeback."
"I understand."
Lin Yi said with a nod.
At this point, the truth of Tiger's death was no longer important. As you CI 'er had said, it was purely a personal grudge. As long as they lost their protection, even if they found out that Lin Yi had nothing to do with Tiger's death, the Nanjiang King would still take revenge on him.
Even so, Lin Yi didn't put all his hopes on house Wang. He started to study more profound grade talismans with Wang shiqing.
Strength was everything, and in his current situation, his realm had long reached a bottleneck. The best way left was to refine more profound-grade high-grade array talismans. After all, only relying on profound-grade Dharma-annihilating array talismans might not necessarily be useful against an existence like Lord Nanjiang.
It was a pity that even Wang shiqing's knowledge of profound-grade talismans was limited. If she wanted to learn more profound-grade talismans, she had to find a place to learn them secretly.
Lin Yi was speechless-he couldn't get around the Wang family in the end.
Two days later, the Wang clan finally sent a notice to gather all the candidates.
With Nanjiang King's threat still ringing in their ears, Lin Yi and Wang shiqing arrived at the Wang family. When they arrived, the other candidates were already there, waiting for them.
"Your Excellency is really carefree. Such an important occasion and you don't have any sense of time at all. You made so many of us wait for you, where did you get the face to do that?"
Someone started mocking Lin Yi as soon as he came up-it was one of the other four bodyguard candidates, a burly man.
The other elegant young man didn't mind."There is no need to get angry. He is just an insignificant supporting character. At most, he only has some brute force. He has no background, no potential, and can not even touch the hidden Dragon rank. Why should we care about him?"
"Brother Lu mu seems to have a well-thought-out plan?"
The other two candidates saw his reaction and both revealed a curious look.
The young man called Lu mu laughed."As the 49th ranked Hidden Dragon of Jianghai city, shouldn't I be confident?"
"That's not true. Brother Zhuang Yan is also ranked 50th on the hidden Dragon rank, which is about the same as you. As for us, we are slightly lower in rank, but we are still at the same level, so we are not that much stronger than each other. "
"That's right. Besides, the young lady of the Wang family doesn't just look at the ranking when choosing her bodyguard. She also looks at other aspects, especially affinity."
The other two had obviously reached some kind of tacit understanding and agreed with each other.
Lu mu looked at the two of them with deep meaning,""Affinity? Do you all really believe that you'll be able to catch the Wang family's young miss "eye?"
"Who knows?"
Although the two of them said this, their expressions revealed a strong self-confidence.
Lu mu chuckled and said in front of everyone,""The reason why you two are so confident is because you've given the second Butler spiritual Jade, right? One hundred thousand and one hundred and fifty thousand?"
The moment these words came out, the two people instantly revealed incomparably shocked expressions. Clearly, they had been hit right!
The two quickly denied,"what evidence do you have?" Don't you slander me!"
