Beauty and the Bodyguard

King Chu immediately said loudly: "In that case, I will make a bet with you. If your words are true, I will indeed be in bad luck today. I will apologize to you in person and take the initiative to stay away from you when I see you in the future. But If you are not right in what you say, then you are deceiving the public with your evil words, and you will have to go to jail to face the crime. Do you dare?"

 The King of Han on the side quickly wanted to stop him.

However, Lin Yi was the first to respond: "Of course."

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him as if they were looking at an idiot and a dead person.

 The Emperor of Zhou, who was on the throne, couldn't help but feel full of regret.

The King of Chu was setting a trap for Lin Yi, and even he could see it.

Even though the King of Chu was aggressive when he first came up, as long as Lin Yi didn't fight, there was nothing the King of Chu could do to him.

After all, Lin Yi's contribution to the inner court is obvious to everyone, and it is not something that the King of Chu can just erase with a few casual words.

 But now that Lin Yi has made this bet, it's completely different.

 Once he loses the bet, no one can save him!

 Zhou Tianzi couldn't help but shake his head, he was still too young.

On the other side, King Han couldn't help but send a message to Lin Yi with his spiritual consciousness: "Young Master Lin, you are still too impulsive. Although King Chu is in a high position, he is notorious for being careless. No matter what happens next, he will bite you." It is not unlucky to die, so he will be directly invincible."

The King of Chu is in an invincible position, which naturally means that Lin Yi will definitely be defeated.

The key point is that there is no intuitive measurement standard for whether or not you are unlucky.

No matter how much the King of Chu tries to cheat, no one else can do anything to him.

Looking at Lin Yi, as the absolute weaker side, he can only be bullied to death. Otherwise, there is no other possibility.

Lin Yi calmly replied: "Thank you, King Han, for your concern. I'm sure. Just wait and see what happens."

King Han took a deep look at Lin Yi and saw that he was determined, so he had no choice but to give up.

In addition, King Qi and King Zhao, two princes and kings who had shown goodwill to Lin Yi, had some meaningful looks in their eyes, but they had no intention of transmitting messages to Lin Yi's spiritual consciousness.

Although the princes they each represent have some interactions with Lin Yi, their interest relationship is far less deep than that of Prince Han's.

If Lin Yi can gain a foothold, they will naturally be happy to invest again to make the returns even greater.

 But if Lin Yi died today, they wouldn't have much regret.

As a superpower at the level of the seven princes, Prince Qi and Prince Zhao are naturally the largest angel investors in the inner court. They have never invested in a small number of potential stocks like Lin Yi.

The vast majority of them will die halfway. From their perspective, it has long been commonplace, and they will not even have the slightest psychological fluctuation.

At this time, King Qin said: "It's not early, let's start today's topic."

 Looking at Emperor Zhou.

 Zhou Tianzi nodded quickly: "Then let's get started."

At that time, the foreman stood up and read out the rules and selection matters in public.

These are established procedures, and there is no surprise to the powerful ministers and princes headed by the Seven Kings.

However, for the people who entered the Hundred Sons List, many of them heard about it for the first time. They were surprised and couldn't help but show excitement. Each of them will be bound by a heavyweight artificial rule.

 There are certainly some risks involved.

 After all, once they are bound, if something goes wrong with the man-made rules, they will also go wrong.

 But now that they have passed the test of the Hundred Sons Plan, coupled with the attention paid by the Inner Court, it means that the risk has been controlled to a minimum.

 In the final analysis, the inner court may not care about their life and death, but it is impossible not to care about these heavyweight artificial rules, right?

 While the risks are controllable, there are huge benefits for them!

 According to regulations, once bound, they will receive a luck bonus of one point according to the corresponding rules.

 One point is one percent.

  It doesn’t sound like much at first, but what is placed in front of them at this moment is the largest man-made rule in the entire inner court.

 It is no exaggeration to say that any one of these will profoundly affect all aspects of the inner court.

Even if it is only 1% of the luck dividend, for ordinary cultivators like them, it is an astronomical figure.

This is just like ordinary people in the secular world suddenly receiving equity dividends from a 500-strong company. Just thinking about it makes people's hearts beat!

 In fact, it’s more than that.

This time, many of the people participating in the Hundred Sons' Struggle for Hegemony are elites from all sides.

What they value is not just the luck dividend at this point, but more importantly, as long as they are bound to these artificial rules, they can actually gain some influence. If they operate well in the future, they will soar to the sky. It’s not a dream talk!

 For a time, everyone was ready to make a move.

Only the Queen and the others, who had been notified by Lin Yi in advance, behaved very calmly.

This scene fell in the eyes of all the big shots, and they couldn't help but feel secretly amazed.

 Be calm in the face of big events, the group of people under Lin Yi's command seems to be more complicated than they expected.

“The process has been announced. Please leave Baizi temporarily. No. 1 Lin Yi will stay and start the rules selection.”

 The order of rule selection is completely based on the Hundred Sons List.

In other words, Lin Yi, who ranks first, has absolute priority. He can choose any artificial rule from the alternative rules to bind.

Of course, it’s nominally a free choice, but in reality, you really can’t choose whatever you want.

 It's a simple truth. If the situation forces it, the top companies in the Fortune Global 500 may indeed consider paying you dividends, but at the same time, they must ensure that you do not take the opportunity to interfere with the company's core business.

 At least, you cannot be allowed to affect their absolute control over the company!

If Baizi hadn't thought about this, he would have chosen randomly according to his heart. The most likely result would be that he would be controlled by others afterwards and become a complete tool.

 Life is worse than death.

 Hence, today it is not so much Baizi who is choosing man-made rules, but rather the interest groups represented behind these man-made rules who are choosing them in the opposite direction.

In fact, before today, even though the authorities had cut off Baizi from contact with all parties, many of the local elites in the inner court, represented by Bai Shizu, had already made their internal decisions in advance.

 The real variable lies in Lin Yi, outsiders from the land of God and the six major enclaves.

Of course, even people like Lin Yi had various overt and covert connections with the Seven Princes' Palaces beforehand, and were not completely amateurs.
