Beauty and the Bodyguard

If that were the case, then the dangers Pengzhan and Mengyao were facing had yet to be dealt with! What should they do?

Wan Er couldn't help but look a little worried- she was now free again, but she had no options. She couldn't just leave the mountain and stay by Pengzhan and Mengyao's side all the time, could she?

Plus, she didn't even know if she was allowed to leave the mountain at all- the Grand Elder had most likely given an order to prohibit her leaving.

"Miss, there are some things that we can't do anything with right now, but fortunately for us those of the hidden House Yu aren't making any moves yet… Uncle Pi's hidden house don't seem to be aware of this incident, as well!" Elder Li said, "We'll have to sit by and watch how things unfold for now… Although, the biggest threat House Chu faces isn't the hidden houses of Yu and Uncle Pi's, but something else!"

"What would that be, uncle LI?" Wan Er paused, worried.

"From what I know, Ma Zhu's mentor Jin Wudi has already registered to the hidden house community for leave. He's planning to go for Lin Yi and exact revenge for his disciple- we don't know if that would involve House Chu…" He sighed, nodded solemnly.

"But… What do we do then? What's Ma Zhu's master's strength?" Wan Er asked.

"According to my research, he's an Earth class early phase…" Elder Li said, "Lin Yi wouldn't be able to fight him if he were to get that registration approved…"

"Elder Li, I beg of you- are you able to get this information to Yao Yao's bodyguard Lin Yi, let him make his preparations?" Wan Er knew that Elder Li wouldn't be able to do anything, and she herself wasn't even allowed to leave the mountain, and was already using the dark group instead to get the information to where it needs to go. The members of that group were good, but their practitioner's strength were not exceptional, and their services were only limited to information related matters!

"Don't worry, Miss- I'm still capable of doing something like that! The dark shadow group has my contacts in there, and I'll be able to get this information to Lin Yi as soon as possible!" Elder Li nodded.

"That's the only way, then. Thank you, Uncle Li!" Wan Er said helplessly, a look of sorrow and worry on her face…

The world of sects went deep and deeper still.

At the same time, a trekking car drove on a jagged road, and behind the wheel was Zhong Pinliang, with Gao Xiaofu sitting beside him.

"Liang Bro, we'll be able to see Paozi soon- I'm really quite excited!" Xiaofu said excitedly as he looked out the window.

"Watch your mouth later- the people here are all Wulin masters, and we're nothing in their eyes, nothing at all! Don't cause truoble!" Pinliang said faintly to Xiaofu.

"Don't worry, Liang Bro, I know what I'm doing!" Xiaofu nodded quickly. He felt that Pinliang was getting smarter and smarter, not as arrogant as he was beofre- his calmness even resembled Lin Yi's now!

Pinliang nodded, not saying anything. He drove on.

Half an hour later, the car reached the front of a mountain, with a huge border guard, made by the sect on the mountain.

This sort of place wasn't a tourist spot, and it wasn't a place cars passed by as well. Only people of the sect were allowed here.

"State your business?" A black clothed man walked out, knocking on Pinliang's window.

Pinliang opened the window and spoke respectfully, "Hello, we're here to visit Zhang Naipao."

"Zhang Naipao? You're friends of brother Naipao?" The young man became more respectful once he heard the name, a lot more respectful and friendly.

"Yes, we're very good friends with Naipao, we're here to see Brother Naipao!" Pinliang nodded, thinking that it seemed like Naipao was doing pretty well here.

Pinliang knew how to look at people's expressions now, and judging from the way this guy was acting, he knew that Naipao was pretty respected here- that meant that he had to respect the two of them as well!

Pinliang clearly understood the rules here- in order to get someone's respect the only way was to be strong yourself! This guy called Naipao 'little brother Naipao', but still treated him with respect- this meant that he was strong, already stronger than many of his brothers here!

The thought excited Pinliang- it seemed like he had chosen the right guy. Naipao had a talent for practitioning after all! He couldn't wait any longer- he wondered just how strong Naipao was right now!

"Brother Zhang, wait here- I'll bring them up- they're friends of Brother Naipao!" The young man said to a guy some distance away.

The other guy heard Naipao's name and turned solemn as he nodded, "Alright, leave it to me!"

The road up didn't allow cars passed that point, and Pinliang and Xiaofu got off to follow him up the mountain.

A while later, Pinliang and Xiaofu clearly couldn't go up at the same pace. The guy in front of them, however, walked up the steps as if the road's jaggedness didn't bother him at all! He was actually the lowest ranked patrol disciple, and had to run around the mountains all the time, making him get used to the place!

"You've pretty good stamina, bro… We can't last long anymore…" Pinliang panted.

"I'm just the lowest ranked disciple here, and Naipao Bro- Haha, well, he's much stronger than I am!" The man said without envy.

Pinliang was only shocked by the words- he didn't know how Naipao was right now, but it seemed like he really was doing well! This guy had shown him respect multiple times already, so Naipao must be really good for him to be praising him more than once in front of them!

"Is Naopao really strong right now?" Xiaofu couldn't hold it in.

"Of course he is! But there's a reason why he's so successful, he's really strong willed, much more than we are! In order to do his practitioning- he actually… Well, I'll let him tell you," The young man said, clearly impressed by Naipao.
