Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1531: You’re speaking up for him?

Lin Yi’s last call was six days ago, and he said that he’d arrived at a town called Blizzard town. It was very close to the northernmost area according to the coordinates, but the terrain was different from the ancient times, and he couldn’t get through no matter how hard he tried. He decided to wait a few days for the snow to stop and walk there to take a look!

After that, the test happened. Lin Yi didn’t want the girls to worry, so he didn’t tell them about it. He only wanted to contact them after the test was over.

Who would’ve thought that after the test, there’d still be so much trouble? how could he leave without getting the fruit? During the trial, in order to prevent the teams from communicating with each other through satellite phones, there seemed to be signal interference on the ice Mountain. There was no signal at all!

So, even if Lin Yi wanted to contact Tang Yun and explain the situation, he couldn ‘t! But Lin Yi couldn’t leave, so he had to contact them when he got back.

“I hope so ...” Tang Yun nodded, but she was still a little worried ...

……………………

Sunrise and set, and another day passed.

The disciples patrolling the area changed batch after batch, but Lin Yi still stood at the entrance, waiting for elder Qing to help convince the sect master to give him the fruit!

Lin Yi’s heart was filled with heartache and helplessness. This was the feeling of defeat in the face of cruel reality!

Lin Yi’s personality was proud and aloof-he’d never lowered his head before any power, not even when he faced house Yu, who was stronger than him!

But he couldn’t do anything at this point-the Ice Palace was too strong, and it was beyond his knowledge. He understood that in the face of a force like this, the only way to save Xiaoxiao was to lower his head!

What else could he do? He couldn’t beat her, and he couldn’t snatch her away. Not only would he die Here, but Xiaoxiao would also be finished! So all Lin Yi could do was to use his determination to move the Ice Palace.

It was a bit of a joke, but it was the only way! Luckily, Lin Yi had the title of first place-as long as he didn’t do anything against the sect’s rules, the sect wouldn’t be able to do anything to him!

You can’t just kill him because he begged you to treat his girlfriend, right? The Ice Palace was overbearing, but they wouldn’t do something like this-no one would say anything even if they did, but who would dare come to the next test?

If anyone who wanted to trade for some treasure was killed just because the item they wanted was from the Ice Palace, what would the Ice Palace be? And so, Lin Yi was determined to stay here no matter what!

Lin Yi didn’t know if going back on his word would have any effect, but he knew that if he turned around and left, there would be no hope at all! Although a Sky Class master could cure the cold Qi in Xiaoxiao’s body, Lin Yi wasn’t sure if they could!

Old Lin had only read about it from some ancient books, but Liju had verified that the fruit could save Xiaoxiao!

What made Lin Yi suspicious the most was that Zhang Liju was a Sky Class master-since he could make Qi gathering pills, and there were two left in the tomb, it meant that he’d already broken through to Sky Class, and didn’t need to take Qi gathering pills anymore!

Otherwise, he wouldn’t believe that a practitioner would just leave these pills unused and bring them into a tomb! As for the side effects of the pill, elder Qing had said that it didn’t exist in ancient times, so there was no reason for Zhang Liju not to take it!

And since Zhang Liju was a Sky Class master, why didn’t he help his friend? Instead, he traveled thousands of miles to find the fruit? This made Lin Yi feel a little strange-there must be something he didn’t know about!

Unless Zhang Liju didn’t know that Sky Class Masters could cure the poison, but Lin Yi didn’t think that was a valid reason. With Zhang Liju’s knowledge and wide network, there was no way he wouldn’t know what he and old Lin knew.

And so, Lin Yi guessed that maybe the fire Spirit’s fruit was even more effective than a Sky Class? Or, would there be any defects after treatment?

This was also the reason why Lin Yi didn’t choose to give up. The future was unknown, he had to grasp the present!

“Sect master, Ling Yi’s still outside ...” Qing said when she came to see the sect master in the morning.

“Aunt Qing, why do I feel like you’re speaking up for that Ling Yi?” The sect master couldn’t help but laugh.”Did you not drive him away on purpose and let him stay here so that he can move me?”

“This ...” Xiao Qing was a little embarrassed that her thoughts had been exposed.”Palace Master, I just feel that Ling Yi is a pitiful child. I’m a soft-hearted person, you know that ...”

“Yeah, I know ... If you didn’t pick me up, I would’ve frozen to death on the streets ...” The sect master sighed,””Aunt Qing, I’m not blaming you-I should help since you’ve already said so, but you know how important the fruit is to the Ice Palace ... So if he can’t show any evidence to prove that he can really find a refiner, I can’t promise him! I may have full control of the Ice Palace now, but there’s still the elder Council-as long as it doesn’t go against the sect’s interests, I can do what I say. But if I do something against the sect’s interests, the elder Council will overrule me even if I’m the sect master, although they won’t use this power easily!”

“I’m also a member of the elder Council, so of course I know ... But, if you can really find an Alchemist, you won’t need the fire Spirit’s fruit anymore with the icy heart Jadestone pill. I can take care of the elder Council!” At this point, Qing Zhu revealed her domineering aura for the first time!

In front of the sect master, she’d been respectful, but more of it was kindness and love-in the Council, Qing was definitely on the same level as the elder! Even the great elder did not dare to easily refute little Qing’s words!

This was also why the sect master was able to take control of the sect at such a young age-without Qing’s support, it wouldn’t have been as easy as it was now, even with the sect master and the Grand elder’s support!

“Aunt Qing, I’m convinced by you.” The sect master knew that aunt Qing was ready to put in a good word for Lin Yi! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendation and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
