Beauty and the Bodyguard

Young Woman of House Yu

Naturally, if no one said anything, then House Zhao could very well just go ahead and have Lin Yi wiped out.

Still, Guangyin leaned towards the possibility of House Yu’s involvement- it was just too much of a coincidence for Qibing to have a mystic come at him after tearing a house down in some slums. Weren’t masters supposed to be rare?

Guangyin believed that to be the case- and so he decided to first go to Xiaojin after getting back. After all, she was the main wife, and she knew about Qibing- if the Yus really were responsible, they’d make a statement about it.

Guangyin bid farewell to his father and returned to his villa. He met with his wife and told her about Qibing, also earnestly apologizing and asking for her forgiveness for the mistake he’d made when young.

Xiaojin didn’t say anything, only smiling lightly and shaking her head after her husband finished speaking, "I knew about Zhao Qibing a long time ago- I just wanted to see when you’d come and be honest with me. My father was aware as well, so I don’t think House Yu had a part in this. We’d have made a move long ago if we wanted to."

Guangyin acted as if the news came as a shock- he sobbed gratefully, "Jin, so you knew! I... I don’t know what to say..."

"Our marriage may be an alliance between our houses, but we’ve developed feelings for each other these past years, and we’ve had kids. I’ll let the past go, but I have one condition- that son of yours may never return to the Zhao family," Xiaojin said, making things clear.

"He won’t," Guangyin instantly promised.

"As for that Lin Yi... I’ll help ask my brother if he’s from the Yu family," Xiaojin said.

Guangyin let out a breath of relief- it’d be much simpler if House Yu weren’t the ones responsible. They were a titan among the hidden houses after all.

It came as a shock all those years ago, when the bastard son cast out from House Yu, one of the four great noble houses, founded a House Yu on his own, turning the original family into the New House Yu’s vassal! Although it sounded like a joke, that was the solid truth.

Of course, it was said that a miracle chanced upon Xiaojin’s father, the bastard son that was cast away from the original family- he had actually broken through the earth class in one swoop, turning into a sky class master!! This was more than ten years ago, and no one knew how strong the man was now.

As for what existed beyond the sky class... Only that legendary mystery who had wandered the world knew.

House Yu was an entity everyone envied, but also a soaring mountain no house could imitate or overcome. After all, they also had luck on their side.

Lin Yi became a wanted man soon after- however, only the hidden houses knew. Guangyin hadn’t even bothered asking the four great houses and five small houses in the outside world as there was no way they would have someone like Lin Yi in the first place.

Somewhere in a heavenly setting with clear waters, were a couple of ancient-styled European structures.

A young lady with the appearance of an angel sat before the window- seeming to be drawing something on a drawing board, her eyebrows occasionally locking into a frown and her lips edging into a smile.

She quickly closed the drawing board and tidied up her hair when she heard footsteps outside her window. After quickly neutralising her expression, she turned around just in time to see the door opening.

Her heart tightened, but the edges of her lips curled up into a beautiful curve as two dimples appeared on her white and flushed face, " Brother, why didn’t you knock?"

"Heh, you didn’t lock the door anyway, right?" A handsome boy walked into the room with wide strides and a smile on his face.

"Hm? Why’s your face so red, sis? You haven’t been thinking about anything obscene, have you?"

The girl pressed her eyebrows together, "Brother! What kind of nonsense are you saying!"

"Hehe, let me see what you drew?" The boy skipped his way to the girl and reached for the drawing board on the table.

The girl’s heart tightened once again as she held on tight to the drawing board, but was nowhere near strong enough to resist the boy. It was a little frustrating, "Let go!"

The boy didn’t let go- he only pulled harder.

The girl didn’t want the art she’d been working on for nearly a month to be ruined- she had to let go, but her eyes were still filled with rage as she glared at the boy.

"Ha! I knew it, you were being a pervert! See, they’re holding hands! Hahahaha!" The boy started laughing loudly.

"Give that back!" The girl snatched the drawing away from the boy as he laughed.

It was a very delicate drawing. In it was a girl and a boy holding hands as they ran happily n a beautiful field- the girl was the young lady herself.

"Sis, dad received a phone call earlier, a name was mentioned..." The boy looked at the girl, smiling.

The girl tensed up a little, but hid her emotions, "Who? What does it have to do with me?"

"You don’t wanna know? Fine then, I’ll leave," The boy turned around, preparing to leave.

"Brother, hurry up and tell me- what did dad say?" The girl started to panic as she glared holes into him, "I’ll ignore you if you don’t say it now!"

"Dad received a call, I think it was our youngest aunt asking if we had a Lin Yi in our Yu family... That’s all I heard, I don’t know anything else!" The boy quickly spat out all he’d heard.

"Aunt? She called?" The girl paused, not understanding why she’d ask something like that, "What did dad say?"

"Dad said he didn’t know the person..." The boy shruged, "He’d probably act like that even if he did though..."

The girl wanted to pick up the phone and call her aunt right away, but that would just complicate things. She gently put the phone down and spoke softly, "Brother, help me."

"Of course I’ll help you," The boy smiled, "Lin Yi’s my buddy, I want him to be my brother-in-law, too! Don’t you worry, leave it to me! I’ll get you more information!"

Fatty Lai stood guard in front of Lin Yi’s door, nervous. He didn’t know what had happened to Lin Yi, but still didn’t dare interrupt his healing with his questions.

"Old Lai, who’s in there? Why are you so nervous? Why’d you bring some stranger back to our house?" Fatty Lai’s wife asked with a weird look on her face as she stared at the door

"What do you know?! That’s my boss, I’m his follower now!" Fatty Lai glared, "Stop talking so much and make me something to eat, I’m starving!"

Mrs. Lai didn’t say anything after seeing such a scary attitude given from her husband- she quickly went to prepare him some food.

In truth, she was worried that this person her husband brought home, who was coughing up blood, might die in their house- that would really be the worst.
