Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1388 - Finally Found It!

Elder Yu was afraid to enter initially but after looking at Lin Yi walking in without a care to the world like nothing concerned him, he eventually followed behind him. However, he was super frustrated- this mission had costed him to die without descendants and now even an eye, what a big loss!

The injuries on his hands and legs could be recovered easily but once his testicles were pierced and his eye was blinded, there was no way to turn things back.

In this stone room, there wasn't anything special in it- it was like a normal room with a bed, table, cupboards and some basic commodities, it was like what a normal room looked like.

If Lin Yi's assumption was right, the previous chambers and this stone room were built according to the owner's house. The furniture and items inside were all the same, Zhang Liju had no descendants and disciples, he was all alone for his whole life but being a doctor, he had saved countless lives. Naturally, these people were grateful enough to build him this tomb.

In the room, there was a line of writing on the wall, "People who are from the common field can be saved, but not the ones who entered from the roof."

Lin Yi smiled bitterly after reading the line of writing. Perhaps, that trap was designed to punish the people coming from the roof- the thieves.

This trap was already there when Juli was alive when his friends came to visit, so naturally, they knew how to cure the poison but the ones who entered from the roof could only be punished.

Elder Yu was shivering when he read the line but the tomb owner was already dead- he couldn't negotiate with him, how was he supposed to argue with a dead person?

Lin Yi had a quick glance around the room, his stare landed on the small box beside the bed- he was delighted to see it because it seemed like it was the same as his one old man's one!

His old man had a small box beside his bed too, inside the box contained a lot of commonly used items like paper, pencils and glasses. Of course, the old man had medical notes as well and it was always placed in the little box!

So without any delay, Lin Yi went to the side of the bed instantly and opened the box. As expected, there were two books in the box with some common items. In ancient times, paper, ink and pen weren't as advanced as the modern days, so they weren't found in the box.

Inside the little box contained two books, one thick and one thin.

The thick one was the medical notes!

Lin Yi's face was brimming with excitement! The medical notes, he finally found it, there should be some information about the fire spirit fruit!

His sole purpose of this raid was to look for Zhang Liju's medical notes and now that he finally found it- how could he not be excited about it!

Xiaoxiao, there were finally some clues now!

Lin Yi felt the urge to celebrate, even a person as calm as Lin Yi couldn't possibly hold back all the excited- his body started to tremble a little.

However, to hide his emotions from the public, he held back the urge to do anything more.

Meanwhile, the thin book had taken Lin Yi aback, personal notes? What was this?

Elder Yu, on the other hand, tried to snatch the two books away from Lin Yi when he saw Lin Yi holding them.

Even if Elder Yu was an earth class master, Lin Yi's agility and speed were way faster than him and he had also been observing Elder Yu's movement even when looking through the box. This was an important note he was trying to get after all, how could he not be aware of Elder Yu would snatch it away from him?

"What? Trying to snatch it away? I'll give it to you after I made a copy," Lin Yi said faintly.

"What's the other book in your hand, show it to me," Elder Yu had lost interest in the medical notes after his gaze stopped at the notes in Lin Yi's hand, it was the personal notes, after all!

To Elder Yu, the medical notes were just a bonus item, House Yu wanted to seek some alchemy knowledge from the medical notes but since the personal notes stood right there in front of him, the medical notes immediately became useless!

As for what was written in the medical notes, Elder Yu and the people from House Yu didn't really care anymore.

"It's just a personal notes, this is not something you're looking for, what's the point of looking at it?" Lin Yi didn't intend to give the notes to Elder Yu at all.

In fact, even Lin Yi himself was flabbergasted when he saw the book. Elder Yu had explained the benefits of alchemy and how important an alchemist was and the advantage of having one. How could Lin Yi not have any interest in the notes after listening to his explanation. Since there were personal notes about refinement and all in his hand, how could he just give it to Elder Yu like this?

Lin Yi would be really stupid if he didn't try to take possession of the personal notes for him. It was impossible to give Elder Yu the notes, at most he would start a war with Elder Yu, but Lin Yi was prepared for that, he wasn't afraid at all.

"Shhh—" Elder Yu in took a breath of cold air, he couldn't believe that there really were personal notes! Initially, Elder Yu's plan was simple- after entering the tomb, he would use the qi gathering pill and medical notes as decoys while planning to secretly steal the personal notes once it was found and nobody would notice.

He assumed that being an earth class master, this was no hard task to accomplish but who knew the tomb was this dangerous- it was out of his wild imagination. Besides, he felt like he was being pulled around by the nose by Lin Yi all this while. Lin Yi was the one who found all these items he was looking for, it was impossible to locate these items himself!

Elder Yu underestimated the traps and mechanism of the tomb and overestimated his earth-class strength, he regretted his decision! If he knew something like this would happen, he would have just told Lin Yi everything and not hide anything from him. He wouldn't have gone through all this trouble and now, Lin Yi wasn't willing to give him the notes and he couldn't do anything about it, who was to blame but him for not telling the truth in the beginning?

Elder Yu had an irresistible drive to snatch the notes over but he refrained himself from doing so. First, they were still in the tomb, fighting with Lin Yi now wasn't very profitable to him. For him to leave the tomb successfully, he needed the male thief's help. Who knew whether Lin Yi would drop dead or become injured after one hit and then they would have no way of getting out.

Second, Elder Yu's injuries were holding him back so it was not a good time to face off with Lin Yi now. He couldn't guarantee he could beat Lin Yi and Lin Yi might even kill him with his qi bomb, it was not worth it.

So Elder Yu could only hold back his fury as he stared at Lin Yi, "Kid, why don't I make a deal with you?"

"What deal?" Lin Yi said, startled. He didn't know what kind of deal this stupid, cowardly man could think of.

"You can have the medical notes all to yourself, Elder doesn't want it anymore but the personal notes in your hand, can you give it to me?" Elder Yu continued, "Count it as trading my medical notes for your personal notes!"

"..." Lin Yi was horrified by Elder Yu's deal- he was completely speechless. This Elder Yu was really one of a kind, he could really say whatever he liked without processing them at all. What kind of low level of trade was this? Lin Yi was truly amazed, making his jaw drop to the floor!
