Beauty and the Bodyguard

But Mengyao wasn't as observant as Lin Yi-she didn't realize that Yushu wasn't feeling sleepy at all.

After Lin Yi returned to his room, he sat on his bed and started channeling the second stage of the art of Dragon mastery. However, Lin Yi paid extra attention to the movements in the villa today. Shu was too strange today, especially the resting grass in her food. Lin Yi wanted to see what Shu was up to.

After channeling the second stage of the art of Dragon mastery, Lin Yi suddenly realized that his training efficiency today was very high! He'd put a part of his attention on the villa, but his practitioning today was twice as effective with half the effort-it was like Xinyan was training beside him! It was so fast that Lin Yi was speechless!

But Lin Yi thought about it and understood. Before he started training the second stage of the art of Dragon mastery, he needed this calming grass, but he didn't use it and used something else instead, causing him to go into Qi deviation.

After that, he recovered, but he still didn't have the calming grass in his body. So now that he suddenly took the calming grass, it had its previous effect, allowing him to better circulate the second stage of the art of Dragon mastery!

In fact, this was the herb he used for the first time he used the second stage of the art of Dragon mastery to be more stable and to reduce the side effects, but now that Lin Yi was already very familiar with it, the resting grass was much more effective.

Of course, this was probably the only time it would be effective. The rest of the herb wouldn't have such an effect in the future. After all, the art of Dragon mastery didn't mention that the rest of the herb could always help with cultivation. It was only mentioned once.

After that, the effects of the resting grass exceeded Lin Yi's expectations! Lin Yi had just broken through to Earth Class mid phase peak, and it should take a long time for him to stabilize his strength and reach Earth Class mid phase peak full, at least that was the case before!

He'd reached Earth Class mid phase peak a couple of times, and with Xinyan's body scent, it'd been a lot faster than usual, but Lin Yi didn't think that the herb would make him reach full Earth Class from mid phase peak all of a sudden!

Now, he was only a step away from Earth Class late phase! Lin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this. It didn't matter who put the resting grass in there, intentionally or not, it was still helping Lin Yi indirectly, allowing him to stabilize his cultivation.

"This feeling is too good!" Lin Yi let out a long breath-this training speed was almost the same as riding a helicopter! But Lin Yi knew that this was a rare opportunity-if he were to use calming grass in the future, it wouldn't have this effect anymore. After all, he was in a special situation.

He looked at the time-it was already midnight. He didn't expect time to pass so quickly. He used his sense to check the living room, but it was still quiet.

However, the silence was only temporary. After a while, Lin Yi heard clear footsteps! It was Shu's footsteps! Lin Yi had lived in the villa for a long time, and he could hear Yushu's and Yaoyao's footsteps very clearly. Shu was very quiet, but it was a quiet night, and Lin Yi was in the Jade space, so he could hear them clearly.

​ Lin Yi hesitated for a moment before closing his eyes and lying down on the bed quietly, snoring as if he was asleep ...

After a while, Lin Yi's door was pushed open gently. He didn't have the habit of locking the door in the villa, and he could see from the Jade that it was Shu! Lin Yi wasn't surprised, but he was surprised ...

Yushu's face lost her usual playfulness and cuteness-it was replaced with a worried and nervous look as she stood at the door, deep in thought. After a long while, she sighed and walked into Lin Yi's room ...

Yushu had a sharp knife in her hand, and it glowed a cold green under the moonlight. She quietly walked to Lin Yi's side, looking at him as he slept. A complicated look flashed in her eyes, as if she was making her final internal struggle ...

Lin Yi pretended to be asleep on the surface, but he'd been paying attention to Yushu's every move the whole time. His heart jumped when he saw the knife in Yushu's hand!

Of course, Lin Yi wasn't afraid of the knife in Yushu's hand-he was just shocked. What was she doing with that knife?! In fact, Lin Yi had a rough idea of what was going on-was Shu trying to kill him?

That was the only explanation-why else would Yushu show up in his room with a knife? Especially when the sleeping pill, the resting grass, was in the chicken leg rice!

Yushu took a deep breath and raised the knife in her hand. Her heart was beating fast, and her breathing was rapid, causing her hand to tremble. It was obvious how intense her inner struggle was!

"Phew ..." Chen Yushu finally couldn't take the torture in her heart anymore. She put down the knife in her hand and panted heavily as she looked at the sleeping Lin Yi!

After a long while, Chen Yushu finally calmed down and raised the knife slowly, aiming at Lin Yi's chest!

At this point, Lin Yi was sure that Shu wanted to kill him! However, what was the reason? Lin Yi couldn't figure it out, he really couldn 't!

Lin Yi would believe that Shu liked him, but he didn't really believe that she could assassinate him!

Yushu's behavior and their relationship had always made it impossible for something like this to happen, but something that couldn't happen just happened?

Lin Yi remembered the smell he smelled on the floor-it was like poison, and although it was wiped clean, there was still some residue. Lin Yi wasn't sure, and he couldn't lick the floor, but at this moment, Lin Yi guessed that Shu probably poisoned the tea as well!

Otherwise, Shu wouldn't be acting so weird, snatching the cup of tea from Mengyao and knocking it over when Mengyao wanted to drink it. This proved that Shu was conflicted inside, and it matched the situation.

Shu's heart must be conflicted-she must have her reasons for doing this! (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.)
