Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1461: You Be Careful

Chapter 1460 – You Be Careful

“What is it, old man? Is there something wrong with Snowfrost Town? Do you know this place?” Lin Yi asked, confused.

“Why is this name so familiar... I’ve heard of it before?” Old Lin frowned and repeated the town’s name again, a little stunned. “Is it really where that place is..?”

“What place?” Lin Yi was getting more confused.

“It’s nothing... I hope I remembered it wrong.” Old Lin shook his head. “The common world you’re in right now- I don’t want you to be fighting in other levels beyond that arena; those aren’t places you should be going, nor are they places you can go... I just hope that you settle down in Songshan and spend a relaxing life there, but now... It seems like things won’t go as successfully as planned. The hidden houses- this world is still within my grasp, but right now you seem to be interacting with things beyond the area...”

“What are you talking about, old man?” Lin Yi still didn’t follow. What was this talk of worlds and areas?

“That is... The areas you’re involved in are beyond my control...” Old Lin said. “If you get into trouble, I won’t be able to help you, though by the looks of your current momentum you can’t stop either...”

“What the..? Old man, I say, aren’t you a little embarrassed to say that stuff- when did you ever help me? Remember what you said when I got in trouble? You said I should go home and hide from it! When did you help me before?” Lin Yi finally understood- basically, he was acting tough! Saying that he could’ve been able to handle whatever trouble Lin Yi waddled himself in since he had the strength, but as the supporters and backers of said trouble started appearing, Old Lin had some trouble manning up to them.

“Ugh... I just wanted you to have some practical training experience, right?” Old Lin smiled bitterly. “But, if you were to get in real trouble, there’s no way I wouldn’t have helped you.”

“Ha... I know.” Lin Yi nodded. “But, I need to grow up eventually, right? Since I’m already tangled up in this trouble, I can’t hide from it anymore- plus, if I hide under your wing all the time I’ll never grow up...”

“Well said!” Old lin remembered his past self when he was young- right, he’d met plenty of dangers himself, and he went through all of them! Lin Yi’s situation might be troublesome now, but the guy was always defying expectations. He might make a name for himself here!

“I say, old man, I had something important to talk to you about when I called- you’re there thinking about life again.” Lin Yi said helplessly. “Can’t we wait until I get home for this?”

“Alright, alright, fine. What is it? Speak, I’m listening!” OLd Lin said, interrupting.

“The last time I was graverobbing, other than Zhang Liju’s notes and the Skybolt pig, I also found a qi gathering pill and a master refiner’s personal notes. I forgot to tell you this, but since I’ve got nothing to do now, I’m planning to study it a bit.” Lin Yi said.

“What! You got a qi gathering pill and even a refiner’s personal notes?!” Old Lin’s jaw hit the ground. “You’re not joking, are you? Are you serious?”

“Have I ever lied to you before...” Lin Yi was speechless. “Why are you freaking out over stuff like this?”

“Why?? It’s the qi gathering pill! You eat one of those and you’ve basically eaten countless, countless amounts of experience elixirs!” Old Lin said, clearly very excited. “Do you not know what this means?”

“I do, but can’t you just eat one in your whole life? And it’s best used for when you’re at Earth class late phase peak- you’d be able to break through into Sy class.” Lin Yi said. “I’m still so far away from Sky class, so what’s with the excitement?”

“That’s true, but eating it now still has its effects, though it would be a bit of a waste.” Old Lin said. “Of course, the important thing isn’t the qi gathering pill, but those notes- do you know just how pitiful the number of refiners nowadays is? Even I’m not a refiner!”

“I know, but being a refiner is a much more complicated practitioning- I was about to ask you whether or not I should even bother.” Lin Yi asked.

“Of course you should! Why wouldn’t you practice that? This kind of thing is better than anything that’d drop from the sky- if you were to really become a refiner, the paths you’ll walk in the future will be that much smoother, even if you went higher and higher up, you’d still have authority! This is what being a refiner means!” Lin Yi said. “Well, you’d have to be a high-level refiner, of course.”

“Well, I guess I should practice it, then.” Lin Yi wanted to try practicing it in the first place, and this phone call was just made out of habit for consultation.

“You sure are a lucky one! When you have time, come back and lend me that refiner’s notes.”: Old Lin was starting to itch for that.

“Well, sure.” Lin Yi wouldn’t hide anything from this old man.

“Alright, I’ll leave it at that- be careful. It’d be best if you didn’t let anyone know about the notes you have with you. Also, don’t tell anybody you know about refining before you become a proper refiner.” Old Lin said. “In conclusion, be careful.”

“I got it.” Lin Yi didn’t want attention in the first place- his thoughts aligned with Old Lin here.

“These few days, you might see many practitioners who are going to where you are now- of course, I’m not sure though. It’s just a maybe, we’ll see. Be careful.” With that, Old Lin hung up.

“Wha-? Hello?: Wait, what? Practitioners? What do you mean, you’re not sure?” The phone was already cut off...

Lin Yi could only give up- and it was quite troubling, too. Why did this guy always speak sentences in halves? Couldn’t he finish his thoughts?

So there were other practitioners coming here these few days? What was that even about, why would they be here for, it wasn’t like there was anything good here, all the way up in the North. Were they here for the fruit..?

With that thought, Lin Yi instantly heightened his alertness. Regardless, the fruit was something he had to get his hands on- otherwise, what would Feng Xiaoxiao do? It seemed like this operation may not be as smooth as he thought- there were a lot of complications here.
