Beauty and the Bodyguard

The emperor didn’t say a word. Everyone’s gaze then turned to the king of Qin.

Right now, only the King of Qin had the power to make the final decision.

“What do you think we should do?” Qin Wang asked Lin Yi.

Everyone was stunned.

Was Lin Yi allowed to speak at a time like this?

Although Lin Yi’s performance in the competition was quite outstanding, from the perspective of the Inner Court, he was just a chess piece.

No matter how well the chess piece performed, it could not leave the board and influence the will of the player.

Lin Yi was overestimating himself if he dared to speak at this time.

Lin Yi could see the trap clearly.

If it were a cautious person, the best strategy at this time would be to bury his head and pretend to be an ostrich.

No matter how much he had been in the limelight before, at least in the Inner Court, he was still an outsider without any foundation.

Not knowing anything was the most sensible behavior, and it was also the safest choice that would not attract criticism.

Han Wang gave Lin Yi a look, signaling him not to speak.

However, Lin Yi smiled indifferently and turned to Chu Wang.” Your glabella is black. I’m afraid you’re in trouble.”

Everyone was shocked and looked at each other.

Lord Chu himself was stunned for a moment. Then, he reacted and immediately burst out laughing.” I really didn’t see it. You still have the potential to be a fraud?” However, aren’t your words a little too low level? Saying that this king’s forehead is black, are you trying to curse this king to be unlucky?”

“You’re going to be unlucky,” Lin Yi nodded seriously.

He really wasn’t spouting nonsense.

Just as he was carefully observing Lord Chu, the number displayed on the Sinan ring had changed slightly.

The king of Chu’s influence was eighty-five points, and the seven kings were only second to the king of Qin, which was a hundred points. It was completely in line with the overall strength of the Chu royal residence.

This was normal.

What was interesting was that there was a small parenthesis behind the eighty-five, and two words were written in the parenthesis.

Minus ten.

” The Sinan Ring has more than just a little bit of power,” Jiang Xiaoshang said proudly in his mind.” It’s enough for you to explore for a while.”

Lin Yi reacted immediately. Does this mean that Lord Chu’s influence will drop by ten points?”

A drop of ten points meant that Lord Chu’s influence had dropped from eighty-five to seventy-five.

In an instant, he had fallen from the second strongest of the seven kings to the weakest, on equal footing with King Han.

If this matter came true, although it would not be earth-shattering, it would be a huge blow to the overall structure of the Inner Royal Court.

This was indeed a big discovery.

But then, Lin Yi felt that something was wrong.” Since the Sinan ring points to the only future, it should be a fixed number. Why is there such a fluctuation?”

“I didn’t realize that you’re a single-celled organism before.”

Jiang Xiaoshang rolled his eyes in the New World. In your knowledge, the only future is not a fixed point, right?”

“Isn’t it?” Lin Yi paused.

Jiang Xiaoshang was speechless. Even if we use the simplest model to understand it, everyone’s future should at least be a line, not a point, right?”

“If it’s a line, then there must be peaks and valleys. That explains it.”

In other words, the influence Lin Yi was seeing through the Sinan ring was only the current value of everyone, and the small parenthesis that appeared after King Chu represented the future trend.

“What’s with Cheng Shuang ‘er?” Lin Yi realized something was wrong. Even if she can reach the same level as the King of Qin in the future, she’s only a small transparent person now. The influence value that I can see is at most a single digit, right?”

Jiang Xiaoshang thought for a moment and said,” That’s probably because you don’t know how to pull the time ruler yet. You pulled the time ruler to the back when you first saw her. It’s equivalent to seeing the later stage of her line and covering her present.”

“When you master how to pull the time ruler, you can see her current influence. She’s completely invisible.”

“Is that so?” Lin Yi was skeptical.

Logically speaking, it was indeed as Jiang Xiaoshang said. Otherwise, there was no explanation.

But Lin Yi had a feeling that things weren’t that simple.

His thoughts returned to reality.

Everyone burst into laughter at Lin Yi’s words.

This kind of shaman-style swear might scare some ignorant old men and women in the countryside, but this was the inner court. Lin Yi would be a laughing stock if he said it in front of everyone.

One had to know that King Chu was not an unlucky person whose luck had gone bankrupt.

At this moment, he had a total of six digits of personal luck above his head. How could he be unlucky?

Even in the Inner Court, where Fate had been widely converted into currency, the more Fate one accumulated, the luckier one would be. It was not unheard of for one to have six digits of Fate in one second and then go bankrupt in the next, but it was still an extremely small probability.

King Chu’s strength and power were displayed here.

Other than the King of Qin, who else was qualified to make him suffer?

Moreover, he was the strongest ally of the King of Qin among the seven kings.

Chu Wang wasn’t angry, but he looked at Lin Yi like he was looking at a clown.

“Don’t call me Lin Yi anymore, just call me Lin Immortal.”

King Chu changed the topic.” Since you’re saying that I’m going to be in big trouble, why don’t you be more specific? When will I be in big trouble?”

“Today,” Lin Yi replied.

The other party’s influence value had dropped from 85 to 75. This was definitely not a small matter. Combined with the current situation, the only explanation was that this King Chu would suffer a huge loss in the next rule selection, and thus suffer a huge loss!

However, this answer was somewhat laughable to everyone.

If you were to say that King Chu’s luck would not be good for the next period of time, then it would be somewhat believable.

After all, Lin Yi’s performance in the competition wasn’t bad, and it wasn’t impossible for him to have some sort of ability to predict good or bad luck.

But now, he was actually saying with certainty that King Chu would be in big trouble today. It was really a little absurd.

“Are you deliberately provoking me?” Lord Chu narrowed his eyes.

“I’m just telling the truth.” Lin Yi shook his head.

“What a good way to tell the truth!”
