Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1435: Parting With Er Goudan

Chapter 1434 – Parting With Er Goudan

“Ah!” Yu said, shocked, “Then what should do? Can you try to mediate with them and settle things down a bit?”

Yu Ning was both panicking and angry- this Lin Yi! He just had to choose the common House Yu to become enemies with, did he? Doing this would make things harder between him and her! She’d been trying to fight for the both of them all these years, and while there hadn’t been any results, there had been hope- if Lin Yi became enemies with House Yu even that hope will be gone!

“I can’t...” Yu Bing smiled bitterly, “With the Common House Yu, one has already died and one was injured- their resentment towards Lin Yi is too grave, even us as the Hidden House Yu cannot really press down on this matter. We can’t even really leave them alone now, let alone telling them to stop wanting revenge!”

“One dead and one injured-!” Yu Ning didn’t think Lin Yi would be this violent, killing one and injuring the other! This really wasn’t something they could sweep under the rug, not even for the hidden House Yu!

Yu Ning understood that the hidden houses thought about stuff like profits, and as for personal relationships, that was only done under the context of profit as well. There was no way her house would stand on Lin Yi’s side this time, there was nothing she could do.

“Sis, no need to worry- I’ll try to tell father to not meddle with this- then it’ll only be the common House Yu that’s going after Lin Yi- he should be able to handle it. He’s no idiot, either, messing with the common House Yu, he would know who he was dealing with, he’s not that dumb,” Yu Bing said. “It’s been so long, too, and the common House Yu still cannot do anything- this proves that.”

“I guess that’s all we can do now- please, I’m counting on you, brother!” Yu Ning nodded, a little bit relieved. As long as the hidden house Yu doesn’t meddle in, Lin Yi shouldn’t be in much danger.

“There’s no need for you to worry, I’ll do my best,” Yu BIng nodded.

Meanwhile, in the House Yu meeting room, Yu Xiaochen was talking with Elder Yu Huoxing.

“So you’re saying that, not only did you not find the qi gathering pill, you also didn’t find the personal refinement notes? Not only did you waste your time going there, you even got injured?” Xiaochen said as he looked at Huoxing.

“Yes... master head... The tomb is way too dangerous, and the tombraiders even had infighting, with a lot of them dying, in the end no one entered the underground palace...” Elder Yu said carefully, not daring to say anything wrong in front of the head of the house. Xiaochen was also Earth class late phase peak, which was much stronger than Elder Yu! Plus, Elder Yu knew that he had messed up and was lying, too, so he was treading really carefully.

“Trash!” Xiaochen said directly, “A simple mission, and look at what you’ve done! What utter trash!”

Huoxing was not pleased in his heart. If it weren’t for the fact that the House Yu didn’t want to cure him, he wouldn’t have given out the pill! And if he did give them the pill, would they give him one billion for Yao Wang to save him? He would have been dead already! Huoxing understood very well how House Yu worked!

This Yu Xiaochen was also a man who put heavy focus on money and profits. He was willing to spend one billion for a qi gathering pill, but spending one billion to cure him? That was completely impossible, so he decided to hide the complete truth. House Yu does not have anything to do with the tombraiders anyway, so if he kept quiet, nobody would know.

House Zhao would keep quiet for sure, since they reaped the biggest reward- Huoxing was at least relieved on that part.

“I’m sorry, master head, I’ll gladly take my punishment!” Huoxing knew that even though he didn’t complete the mission, it would also just mean that he did not achieve anything. Xiaochen wouldn’t do anything to him, and he would still be at the bottom of the hidden House Yu hierarchy, getting only a small amount of practitioner treasures.

“So be it, you can leave- I’ll think of something else for the tomb!” Xoaochen said impatiently with a wave of his hand. As expected, he wasn’t punishing him, and was only frustrated- the pill he had been expecting for so long, the pill that finally had some leads to it- and in the end, nothing! This was like wrapping fresh hay around a horse’s neck- it could only see it but not eat it!

“Yes...” Huoxing said, his heart tight. Xiaochen wouldn’t send soemone else to rob the grave, right? But even so, Huoxing remembered that powerful beast in the tomb, and was no longer worried. Without those tomb raiders, even a Sky class master would only be able to enter and not leave!

Xiaochen looked at Elder Yu leave, his face dark as he waved his hand, and a close aide of his came by. He spoke quietly, “What are your commands, master head?”

“Yu Liu, keep an eye on Yu Huoxing!” Xiaochen said.

“Understood... Master head, you’re suspecting him of...?” Yu Liu said carefully.

“That’s right- this old thing came from the common House Yu after all, we’re not really on the same side. I’m worried he’s keeping the stuff for his own use,” Xiaochen said, “Don’t let him catch you- just search in the shadows.”

“Yes, master head!” Yu Liu said. He may be a lowly member of the house, but he was still Earth class middle phase peak, much stronger than Huoxing. He wouldn’t be noticed by him at all.

Yu Yuanyuan didn’t hesitate when she got the call from Goudan- she decided to go back home with him to heal his injuries! Yu Ren and Yuanyuan’s mother didn’t want her to go, but since she had made up her mind, they could only tell her to take care of Jiaming, and give them a call when they arrived.

“Our daughter’s all grown up!” Yu Ren said emotionally.

“Dad, maybe you and mom can there too? I heard Zhou Jiaming say that it’s in the mountains, the air is great there and all,” Yuanyuan siad.

“Haha, that sounds good- I’ll go there when I’m a couple of years older!” Yu Ren nodded- their daughter was going there already, there was no point for them to stay here.

Miss Yu, on the other hand, had tears in her eyes.

Lin Yi, Mengyao, Yushu, and Tang Yun were all here to say their goodbyes- they were quite touched by Goudan’s efforts these past few days, and while he may just be Lin Yi’s follower, they still had established some level of friendship during this time.

“If you need anything, just come find me,” Lin Yi said to Yu Ren with a smile, “Uncle Yu, Er Goudan and I are brothers- just tell me if something’s wrong, as if you’re going straight to him.”

“Thank you, I’ll keep it in mind...” Yu Ren nodded with a smile. He knew how powerful Lin Yi was- with someone like that on his side, he didn’t need to worry about anything.
