Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1473: Ning鈥檚 Secret

鈥淏ut... Zhao Qikun鈥檚 follower is a Mystic late phase- that鈥檚 a bit difficult... Yu Shan also won鈥檛 let go of any chance to humiliate me... Maybe we shouldn鈥檛 be in the same team after all- your goal is the fruit, so there鈥檚 no need to team up here. I don鈥檛 want to drag you down,鈥?Yu Bing was starting to calculate their odds after hearing Qijiu鈥檚 strength- their group was much too stronger than their own, and if Lin Yi really did break through into late phase, he would still be a fresh break through, weaker than someone who had broken through earlier and had stabilized his strength!

Plus, there was still mid phase peak, Yu Shan- if he were to fight Qikun, and Lin Yi against Qijiu, who could handle Yu Shan surprise attacking them?

鈥淎h... But no need to worry, I have a trump card,鈥?Lin Yi said, 鈥淚鈥檒l be able to heavily damage even an Earth class, so there鈥檚 no need for that from now on. Since we鈥檝e met again by fate, let鈥檚 be a team!鈥?

鈥淪eriously? You can damage an Earth class?鈥?Yu Bing鈥檚 eyes were now wide open, 鈥淒amn, you鈥檙e serious? No wonder Ning likes you, you鈥檙e a damn super saiyan!鈥?

鈥淟et鈥檚 not talk about that...鈥?Lin Yi interrupted Yu Bing- that was the past, and it wasn鈥檛 something he wanted to re-live. It wasn鈥檛 easy to forget either- it was just that Lin Yi didn鈥檛 have the strength to bring it back up anymore!

And Lin Yi had already found his own happiness- Tang Yun, Xiaoxiao... If he was able to protect them for their lives, that was his happiness as well! As his fate with others, there was no need for him to force anything. He seemed to have been enemies with the hidden House Yu since the beginning, and it was to the point where it couldn鈥檛 be mediated anymore. Unless of course, if Yu Ning鈥檚 father was able to settle the hate common House Yu had towards him and accept Lin Yi. But, someone as solitary and proud as Lin Yi wouldn鈥檛 have a good time bonding with House Yu even if that did happen.

What Yu Ning wanted, Lin Yi couldn鈥檛 give back then- and now he still couldn鈥檛 give it to her! The two had grown up in too differently and Yu Xiaochen was not a very reasonable man. It was fate that the two could never be together!

Rather than getting disappointed, it was better not to hold any hopes at all.

鈥淵ou don鈥檛 like Ning?鈥?Yu Bing didn鈥檛 want to let this topic go.

鈥淪o what if I do, so what if I don鈥檛?鈥?Lin Yi said.

鈥淚f you do, I can help you.鈥?

鈥淗elp? You make it sound so simple,鈥?Lin Yi smiled bitterly, 鈥淵ou think my war with the common House Yu can be stopped out of nowhere?鈥?

鈥淎t least you haven鈥檛 pissed off the hidden House Yu,鈥?Yu Bing said honestly, 鈥淚f you have this intention, I can work hard for you.鈥?

鈥淭here are some things you may not understand, but I could feel it, judging by the stuff your father had said to me before. There鈥檚 something wrong there,鈥?Lin Yi said sincerely, 鈥淚 don鈥檛 know if you鈥檝e noticed, but your House Yu puts more value on her- even more so than onyou!鈥?

鈥淭hat鈥檚...鈥?Yu Bing had to admit, even if he didn鈥檛 want to. This was a heavy hit from Lin Yi!

Yes, in House Yu, Yu Ning鈥檚 position was higher than this eldest son of the eldest son, and the old elder鈥檚 love for his granddaughter was more than just spoiling her- it was as if the future of the house was placed in her, as if she was the glory of House Yu. When he looked at Yu Shan and him with those eyes, there was only discipline!

鈥淚 don鈥檛 know what secret she has, but I feel like...鈥?Lin Yi didn鈥檛 finish when Yu Bing suddenly jumped in!

鈥淨uiet!鈥?Yu Bing spoke sharply, he just remembered that they were in an inn, not House Yu. He shook his head with a bitter smile, 鈥淚鈥檓 sorry, shouldn鈥檛 have said that...鈥?

鈥淲hat鈥檚 wrong?鈥?Lin Yi was surprised- he had shouted out of nowhere.

鈥淚... had asked my dad out of curiosity before... about Ning. Then I was severely told off. I was never ask about it, nor bring it up again! Regarding Yu Ning, everything about her in taboo in House Yu as we鈥檙e always worried of people hearing about it.鈥?

鈥淚 see... As expected, then...鈥?Lin Yi sighed, 鈥淪o, some things- we shouldn鈥檛 think about it too much.鈥?

鈥淏ut you鈥檙e not weak now, either,鈥?Yu Bing said, 鈥淢ystic mid phase peak, closing in on Mystic late phase- I didn鈥檛 expect this at all. Our houses have certain treasures and elixirs, but you shouldn鈥檛 need those...鈥?

鈥淚 have my ways of practitioning,鈥?Lin Yi answered, 鈥淪trength level isn鈥檛 the most important thing, though- what鈥檚 important is that I鈥檝e just pissed off your house.鈥?

鈥淛ust?鈥?Yu Bing blinked.

鈥淭his is a qi gathering pill- I took it from someone on your side called Elder Yu,鈥?Lin Yi showed Yu Bing a small bottle.

鈥淨i gathering pill!!鈥?Yu Bing鈥檚 eyes widened as he stood up instantly and stared at the bottle- this really choked him here! But it was not only because this was a qi gathering pill, but also because it was taken from Elder Yu!

Yu Bing鈥檚 facial expression kept changing- he naturally knew what this thing was, it was the reason why House Yu sent Yu Huoxing tomb raiding, but he didn鈥檛 expect that what Huoxing meant by 鈥榥ot finding the pill because of the intense dangers of the tomb鈥?was actually because Lin Yi had taken it from him!

What Yu Bing thought first wasn鈥檛 how to get this pill back- as his father really wanted this pill and needed it, but instead, Yu Bing understood the rules of their world. He knew that this pill didn鈥檛 belong to Huoxing, but to the tomb master. So, anyone who got their hands on it would own it, and there was no grounds for him to take it back.

The next thing he thought of was the amount of trust Lin Yi put in him- something as important as this, concerning House Yu- and Lin Yi just simply told him about this! It really moved Yu Bing emotionally- because Lin Yi had a choice to not bring this up at all, and he wouldn鈥檛 have ever learned about it!

鈥淒o you still think there can be peace?鈥?Lin Yi looked at Yu Bing鈥檚 face, feeling glad. The man didn鈥檛 seem angered or greedy, only shocked and helpless. Lin Yi was right to put his faith in him.

He also wanted to test Yu Bing鈥檚 character and mentality, after all- even if Lin Yi didn鈥檛 take it out now, if he really couldn鈥檛 find the fire spirit鈥檚 fruit, he would use this qi gathering pill to exchange with Ice Palace for the fruit, itself!
