Chapter 9355 9354-
Then, Lin Yi's eyelid twitched as the Smoking Man swept his leg out of the blue, but the target wasn't him-it was the rich man's son.
The young master of the wealthy family was still feeling proud of himself, but he was swept away without a trace before he could even make a sound!
"Damn it, you've wasted so much of my time. Fortunately, I have a good temper now. If I were younger, I would have broken your neck long ago!"
The Smoking Man cursed and lit another cigarette. He turned to look at the rest of the people."Do you have any other explanation?"
Everyone shrunk their necks and shook their heads.
How would they dare to say anything when they met such a good-tempered examiner!
If they had been the ones to receive that kick, they would have been crippled if not dead. More importantly, the other party was the Grand Commander of the Wang clan, a clan of formations. His status in the Wang clan was equivalent to that of a guest elder, so kicking them away would have been for nothing. They might even have to go to his house and apologize ...
"Then you can go now, there's nothing else for you guys to do."
The Smoking Man waved his hand impatiently, and everyone rushed out of the door, not daring to stay for even a second longer. Compared to fighting for the position of the personal bodyguard of the Wang family's young lady, their lives were more important.
Soon, there were only three people left in the courtyard.
Tao Baibai smiled bitterly as she cupped her hands at Lin Yi,""I'm sorry, brother Lin. I was on a mission and couldn't tell you the truth. "
Lin Yi smiled,"it's okay, I completely understand. Plus, I didn't lose anything. It's all thanks to you."
"Huh?" Tao Baibai could not help but ask curiously,"by the way, when did you discover my identity, brother Lin?"
"From the very beginning."
Lin Yi's answer surprised him. Tao Baibai couldn't believe it,""You found out that there was a problem with me from the beginning? Are my flaws that obvious?"
"No, but I've always been wary of people who come to me on their own initiative. Once you look at things from the perspective of a conspiracy theory, the result will be very different. Besides, many details can't stand up to scrutiny. For example, why were you so close to me when we were fighting just now?"
Lin Yi asked with a smile.
Tao Baibai was taken aback. She then rubbed her nose with a bitter smile. "That's really full of flaws. Luckily, I didn't have any bad intentions. Otherwise, if I had met someone like you, I wouldn't even know how I died."
"It's already a pile of mud, and you still want to paste it on the wall? We just need to live our days in peace. "
The Smoking Man curled his lips. Although his tone wasn't very nice, it was obvious that he was protecting Tao Baibai. He turned to Lin Yi,"Come with me,"
"So, I got the job?" Lin Yi asked curiously.
"In your dreams. That's miss's personal bodyguard. Without miss's permission, everything that happened before can't be counted."
The Smoking Man paused and suddenly added with interest,""But if you're interested, you can come and work for me. The pay is not bad. Consider it."
"We'll see. "
Lin Yi didn't reject him on the spot-he had a good impression of the Smoking Man, and if he really didn't have a choice, hanging out with him for a while was a way out-it was just a matter of whether it was necessary.
After bidding farewell to Tao Baibai, Lin Yi followed the Smoking Man into the Wang family's main courtyard for the first time, and he was stunned.
For a moment, he even thought that he had come to the Royal Garden. The layout was even much larger than the top-notch Royal Garden. Not only was the layout exquisite, but it also resonated with each other. There was a mysterious sense of heaven's perception that made one forget to leave when seeing it.
The Wang clan, a clan of formations, was truly extraordinary.
But Lin Yi had seen the world, after all. He was only a little surprised, but quickly returned to normal.
The Smoking Man saw this scene and said,""It seems that your background isn't simple. You're no ordinary person."
If it was anyone else, even the descendants of the local Jianghai city's wealthy families, they would not be able to recover so quickly. At the very least, they would be in a daze for a while.
There were only two types of people who could do what Lin Yi was doing-either they had a mind that was so strong that it was inhuman, and no matter what they faced, they would remain calm, or they had really seen the world. The Royal Garden could confuse the common people, but to those who had really experienced the big waves, it was nothing more than an exquisite little pond.
It was worth a second look, but that was all.
And no matter which one of these two, it meant that he was not an ordinary person.
"What do you mean, commander Yan?" Lin Yi's heart jumped.
"Alright, stop pretending. I'm just casually saying, not interrogating you. What are you so nervous about? As long as you're not trying to harm the Wang family, it doesn't matter what your background is. I don't have the time to meddle in other people's business. "
The Smoking Man glanced at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi smiled."Commander Yan, you're overthinking it. I'm nothing special. There's no such thing as 'simple' or 'not'."
"Ordinary?!"
The Smoking Man almost choked to death on his old cigarette. He looked at the guy with a strange expression."If you're so ordinary, then what are those things that I just kicked away? You can't scold people like that. "
Lin Yi only chuckled.
The Smoking Man didn't want to get to the bottom of it. He suddenly said,""Nanjiang King is no small matter. With your current strength, if you have the foolish idea of fighting him head-on, you're just courting death. If you really can't avoid it, you can use the Wang family's Tiger flag."
Lin Yi was surprised, but he quickly realized that his conversation with Tao Baibai had been under her surveillance.
It was no wonder that when the young master from a rich family raised his doubts, this person did not even think about it and directly kicked him away. He was too lazy to explain, but the key was that this was simply an insult to his intelligence. Even if he used his toes to think, he knew that the entire process was under his eyes from head to toe. How could there be no surveillance at all?
"Thank you for your advice, commander Yan."
Lin Yi cupped his hands and asked,"Is the Wang clan's Tiger flag really that useful?"
The Smoking Man gave a half-smile."Whoever uses it knows. Of course, you have to use it in the right place. If you don't use it well and it has the opposite effect, don't blame me for teaching you blindly. A big tree attracts the wind, this kind of child's play, don't you need me to teach you?"
Lin Yi nodded. He didn't need to be taught at all-he had a deep understanding of this sort of thing, after all. He was the one who attracted the wind wherever he went.
The Smoking Man seemed to understand what he meant and rolled his eyes.""Your shamelessness is similar to my younger self."
