"What the hell are these two up to?" Seeing Meng Jueguang looking at him maliciously, Lin Yi's intuition told him that these people must be thinking of another way to trick him.
However, when he thought about it, today was the public guidance day. No matter what, Zhao Hongbo, the elder of the Blue Cloud Pavilion, would be involved. Not to mention the fact that Meng Jueguang's level was not high enough to hook up with him, in reality, even Xu Lingchong, the young master, would not be able to order Zhao Hongbo to do anything, not to mention framing Lin Yi.
Firstly, their strength and status were completely unequal. Even if Zhao Hongbo treated Xu Lingchong differently for the sake of Xu Yuanzheng, it was only limited to the courtesy of an elder. It was absolutely impossible for them to be on equal footing, and he would not lower his status to curry favor with the other party.
Secondly, the higher one's status was, the more one had to pay attention to their image. Even if Zhao Hongbo really listened to Xu Lingchong's words and helped him deal with Lin Yi, the newcomer of Blue Cloud Pavilion, he definitely wouldn't dare to be too brazen. After all, if these words were to spread, he, the Fourth Elder of Blue Cloud Pavilion, would be drowned in the saliva of countless disciples of Blue Cloud Pavilion.
Thinking up to here, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a little more at ease. No matter what tricks Xu Lingchong, Meng Jueguang, and the others were playing, as long as he smoothly asked the questions and obtained the answers he wanted, then everything would be fine.
However, what Lin Yi didn't expect was that the first thing Zhao Hongbo said when he came in was him. "Who is Lin Yi?"
Lin Yi was taken aback. Following that, under the astonished gazes of the Blue Cloud Pavilion rookies, he calmly stood up and replied, "Replying to Fourth Elder, this disciple is Lin Yi."
Zhao Hongbo sized up Lin Yi and asked, "I heard that you have a good relationship with Lu Bianren?"
As the Fourth Elder of Blue Cloud Pavilion, he had a lofty status. Naturally, he would not care about Lu Bianren, a mere Third Pavilion Master of the Welcome Pavilion, and it was even more impossible for him to know about Lin Yi. These words were actually passed to his ears by Meng Jueguang through Xu Lingchong's mouth. It was for the convenience of making an issue out of this and punishing Lin Yi.
The development of the matter was far beyond his expectations, but Lin Yi was still unhurried. He nodded and said, "I don't dare. Pavilion Master Lu merely guided me."
"What a great way to help the younger generation advance!" Zhao Hongbo snorted and said, "Since he's so supportive of the younger generation, why didn't he show his face on such an important day? How disgraceful! "
Everyone looked at each other. Zhao Hongbo, the Fourth Elder of Blue Cloud Pavilion, had openly criticized Lu Bianren. If this matter were to spread, it would be a disaster for Lu Bianren, who had already been marginalized by the Welcome Pavilion!
But to be honest, Lu Bianren, the Third Pavilion Master of the Welcoming Pavilion from Blue Cloud Pavilion, didn't even show up on such a day. This was indeed a bit unreasonable! If someone deliberately made an issue out of this matter, it was not impossible for Lu Bianren to be removed from the position of the Third Pavilion Master of the Welcoming Pavilion.
Lin Yi and Senior Brother Lu Bianren looked at each other helplessly. They instantly knew that Lu Bianren had been tricked. Moreover, it should be by Pavilion Master Hu Yunfeng, Deputy Pavilion Master Feng Song, and even Xu Lingchong and Meng Jueguang. He had been tricked by this large group of people, intentionally or unintentionally!
Lu Bianren was now stationed at the back cliff. Within a radius of 30 miles, not even a ghost could be seen. Although the Open Guidance Day was held every year, it had never been set a specific date. It was completely decided by the wishes of the three Pavilion Masters. In other words. If Hu Yunfeng and Feng Song hadn't sent someone to inform him, he wouldn't have known that today was the Open Guidance Day!
He didn't even know whether today was the Open Guidance Day or not. Usually, without the permission of Pavilion Master Hu Yunfeng, Lu Bianren couldn't leave his post without permission. It was normal that he didn't show up at this time. However, he didn't expect that he would be scolded by Zhao Hongbo in public because of this.
"If I had known, I would have sent a message to Senior Brother Lu yesterday!" Senior Brother Lu Bianren couldn't help but blame himself.
He didn't expect that Pavilion Master Hu Yunfeng and the others would be so outrageous that they didn't even inform Lu Bianren about such an important thing as the Open Guidance Day. Moreover, he was busy helping Lin Yi and the others yesterday, so he didn't have time to go to the back cliff.
However, if he had known in advance that the Elder from Blue Cloud Pavilion was Zhao Hongbo, he would have reminded Lu Bianren no matter what, because this Fourth Elder was the enemy of him and the backer of Blue Cloud Pavilion behind Lu Bianren. Once something went wrong, it was conceivable that Zhao Hongbo would target Lu Bianren.
However, it was a pity that he was just a small steward. How could he know the Elders' arrangements in advance?
At this time, Senior Brother Lu Bianren was only thinking that Lu Bianren was tricked, but Lin Yi thought further than him. Lin Yi had already expected that Lu Bianren being tricked was just a prelude, and he would definitely be implicated.
Sure enough, Zhao Hongbo's next sentence revealed his intentions, "Since you have a good relationship with Lu Bianren, then I'll trouble you to make a trip and call him over, lest the other two Pavilions' Elders laugh at our Clear Cloud Pavilion's reputation!"
As expected! Lin Yi couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Although Zhao Hongbo's words sounded reasonable, and he didn't mean to make things difficult for Lin Yi, today was a very rare Open Guidance Day. Once he missed it, he might not have the chance to make up for it in this life.
Lu Bianren was now at the back cliff fifteen kilometers away. Even if there were no delays in between, it would take at least an hour to go back and forth. By the time Lin Yi called Lu Bianren over, it was very likely that all the newcomers would have finished asking questions and answering questions.
Seeing that Lin Yi was silent, Zhao Hongbo couldn't help but frown slightly. "What's wrong? You're not even willing to go and ask Lu Bianren for help? Are all the newcomers in Blue Cloud Pavilion of this quality now? "
Seeing this, Meng Jueguang interrupted at the right time. "Fourth Elder, this Lin Yi is a newcomer from the secular world. He has always been arrogant and doesn't know the rules. It's all my fault for not disciplining him well. Fourth Elder, please punish him!"
"So he's from the secular world. No wonder." Although Zhao Hongbo didn't show it on his face, the dissatisfaction in his words was obvious.
The local experts on Heaven Stage Island were basically divided into two factions towards the cultivators from the secular world. One was compatible, and the other was repellent. This Fourth Elder obviously belonged to the latter, and he was the radical faction, advocating the banning of all the experts from the secular world. And this was the key reason why he opposed Lu Bianren's backer.
