Beauty and the Bodyguard

"It's okay. I think you're quite talented, but your body seems a little strange. You can condense the alchemy fire, but you can't control it. I can't figure it out no matter how much I think about it. You don't have a fire attribute in your body, or ..." Boss Bai shook his head. "Don't worry, I'll help you think of a way. Don't worry too much ..."

Lin Yi looked at boss Bai's eyes and felt guilty. He wasn't worried at all-he didn't know how to make elixirs, but he could do it with han Jingjing, so he didn't have to worry too much about it. The most important thing right now was to increase his strength!

"Thank you, teacher Bai ..." Lin Yi was very touched,""Oh right, Mr. Bai, if I may ask, can you refine a third-grade pill at your peak without any injuries?"

"Third-grade?" Boss Bai laughed arrogantly."At my peak, third-grade pills were easy to get. I could even try to make fourth-grade pills. I would make one every year."

"Rank four ..." Lin Yi clicked his tongue. Boss Bai was a really strong person! Lin Yi wondered if he could repair boss Bai's meridians. Boss Bai had lost all his strength because his meridians were damaged and blocked, but if boss Bai's meridians were cured, could he get boss Bai to make third-grade pills for him?

However, after boss Bai's injuries were healed, would he be able to regain his previous strength? If boss Bai could make level three and four elixirs easily, then his strength should be Sky Class late phase peak. Even if Lin Yi healed him, he could only return his strength to Earth Class early phase, and he would still have to rely on the Qi gathering pill. The road of cultivation after that would still be on boss Bai himself, and Lin Yi couldn't return his strength back to normal at the moment.

It was true that Qi and stamina recovered faster for refiners, but Lin Yi didn't know what was going on with boss Bai.

Plus, Lin Yi had always been hesitant about boss Bai's background. An all-powerful Alchemist, he probably wasn't a simple person when he was young, and he seemed to have some connections with the sky elixir sect too. This made Lin Yi even more hesitant to make a decision.

"Hehe, I'm already old and that's all in the past. My future in alchemy will depend on you guys. Who knows, you might be able to refine a fifth or even sixth ranked pill?" Boss Bai said with a smile.

"Mr. Bai, you must be joking. How could I?" Lin Yi shook his head with a bitter smile.

"Hehe, I have high hopes for you!" Boss Bai patted Lin Yi's shoulder, "I'll be leaving first. I have something else to do today, so I won't say much. If you have any questions, come to my office and find me. You can also give me a call. "

​ "Alright, Mr. Bai." Lin Yi nodded as he watched boss Bai get into an old Passat and leave the school.

Lin Yi couldn't help but shake his head-even boss Bai's car wasn't as good as his, and he had a Q7!

Mengyao, Yushu, and Xiaochao didn't have to wait long in the parking lot before they walked over and got in the car. Lin Yi drove them straight home, and on the way, he said to Mengyao,""Oh right, our Biology Department is organizing a winter vacation this weekend. All the students will be there ..."

"Oh, then let's go. It's a good time to cultivate your relationship with Xinyan." "Don't worry about Shu and I, we'll stay at home and won't cause you any trouble,"Mengyao said, very straightforwardly.

"Thank you ..." Lin Yi nodded, touched. When he wasn't at home, Mengyao and Yushu didn't dare to go out. Although he was facing Mengyao's enemies before, they were all his enemies now.

It wasn't so much that he was protecting Chu Mengyao and Shu, but it was more like they were implicated by him. He wasn't a bodyguard, he was just a close combat Master.

"What for?" "Why are you so polite now?" Mengyao smiled.

"Then I won't be polite." Lin Yi said.

A week's time passed by quickly. In this week, Lin Yi found time every day to practice the seventh style of the wild fire Fist. Finally, he was able to use it more proficiently from the half-baked state he was before. However, the seventh style of the wild fire Eight Trigram palm was not very familiar, and he could only use it.

But Lin Yi wasn't in a rush-it was better to improve every day than not at all. He knew that he'd been a bit too impatient this time-if he'd taken a break and used the seventh form, it'd be a piece of cake, but he'd just broken through to Earth Class mid phase peak, and it was obviously a bit rushed to use the seventh form right after the sixth. The result was all thanks to that all-purpose martial skill.

Ever since the gangster girl that you Panhu and Zhaolong had hired to set Lin Yi up at the restaurant almost exposed themselves, they'd been a lot more well-behaved this week. They didn't hang around Lin Yi's area after class, either, and they'd be quiet during class as well.

But Lin Yi didn't let his guard down just yet. He knew what these two were like-they were holding back right now, and there might be a bigger scheme brewing. Who knew what these two were up to?

Lin Yi guessed that the two would make their move during the winter outing-the rules were a lot more relaxed there, after all, and boss Bai wouldn't interfere too much.

On the other hand, Jianwen found Scorpion and Xiaochun right after Lingshan left, just as Lin Yi had predicted.

"The casino business is quite profitable. There's one in Eastern Sea city, and I'm going to take it." Jianwen was indeed tempted."Little pure, you've trained enough. I'll leave the casino business to you. Is that okay?"

"Of course not. Thank you, master Wen!" Chunjie was overjoyed. Managing the casino wasn't as easy as being with Jianwen all the time, but the profits were huge. The casino made a lot of money every month, and as long as she could fill her own pocket a little, it would be enough for him to eat. Plus, Jianwen didn't seem to mind her doing so, so of course, she was overjoyed.

"En, in the next few days, I'll look for gambling bro and take down his casino." Jianwen said.

"Master Wen, if we rashly go and take over the casino, will gambling brother agree?" Scorpion asked after some hesitation. (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.)
