Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1451 - Mysterious Message

"Ah!" Guanxin couldn't believe Lin Yi was going also going on a trip. Did that mean that Lin Yi wouldn't be around when she left? Her mood suddenly dropped rock bottom.

"Why, Xinxin? Are you that unwilling to see Lil' Yi leaving?" Guan Xuemin joked.

"I.... I...." Her face reddened, embarrassed,

"Why would I.... I was just shocked...."

"Hehe, I was just joking. How's it going, Xinxin, with the offer that I told you to consider? You must have spoken to Lil' Yi about this today, didn't you?" Guan Xuemin waved his hand, he knew that his granddaughter was a shy girl, "Do you have an answer already?"

"Grandpa.... I did discuss it with Lin Yi.... I've decided to...." Guanxin told Xuemin about Lin Yi's suggestion.

Guan Xuemin, on the other hand, was smart enough to know his granddaughter's meaning. Studying medicine was an ideal opportunity to work in the company in the future. Guan Xuemin was helpless against his granddaughter's thinking but at least it was still better than her being a nurse, wasn't it?

"Sure, it's decided then," Xuemin nodded, "I'll talk to an old friend of mine later, he has been wanting to have a disciple before entering the place and he's also an expert in medicine. Xinxin should fit all the requirements to be his disciple."

Although Guan Xuemin was also an expert in medicine, his treatment skills were top-notch too. Guanxin would probably not be able to keep up with the pace of learning everything at once.

"En, thank you grandpa," Guanxin was glad that her grandpa agreed with her terms.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi suspiciously asked, "What place? Where is it?"

"I don't know the details but this friend of mine is a hermit. I heard that a sect specializing in refining selected him and was trying to bring him over to their place. The rest is undisclosed, and I didn't ask any further," Guan Xuemin explained.

"I see..." Since it was undisclosed, naturally, Lin Yi wouldn't continue asking. After all, Guan Xuemin, himself, didn't know the details.

The both of them naturally started talking about medical topics until Lin Yi stood up, deciding it was time to go. It was pretty late already and it wasn't appropriate for him to stay too long, especially as the Miss had also sent him a few messages asking him his whereabouts...

Around this time, as the noble houses got ready for the meeting, all the hidden houses, sects, groups- anyone with the qualifications- received an envelope with the blue ice flower logo on it!

All the factions were immediately riled up!

The hidden House Yu.

Xiaochen, the head of the house, took the letter and spoke to Yu Liu who gave it to him, "I must meet father immediately- we need him to make the decision!"

"Ah!" Yu Liu paused- the old head of the house was in isolated practitioning, this was something that all the Yu's knew- even the head of the house, Yu Xiaochen, couldn't go disturb him unless it was something extremely important!

Evidently, that important thing had just happened, and although Yu Liu didn't know what the contents of that letter was, he knew that it was something extreme!

"What are you standing around for, hurry and get the car ready!"

"Yes!" Yu Liu nodded and went off.

The old head of the house had his isolated practitioning somewhere outside the yards of the Yu castle- on a mountain peak. The road connecting the two places was a road that House Yu had built themselves, though someone who was a practitioner like Xiaochen could even just go by himself without needing a vehicle.

Very soon, Yu Liu got the car ready and drove Xiaochen up the mountain!

"How is Yu Huoxing? Any news?" Xiaochen asked.

"None- Yu Qi and Yu Ba and I keep monitoring him in shifts, but nothing is out of place. There wasn't anything noteworthy when we searched his bedroom either."

"Could it be that he really came back with nothing?" Xiaochen didn't trust Huoxing, but he did trust Yu Liu and the others- they were all loyal disciples of House Yu, having grown up in the house since small. They were basically treated as part of House Yu.

"We can't say for sure- we'll have to monitor him for a few more days."

With the car, it hadn't taken long before they reached the mountaintop. But before they could go any further, a black clothed man appeared, blocking their path. The man simply put a light hand on the car, completely stopping it as if it were a toy car.

"Brother Yu Yi, it's the head of the house!" Yu Liu quickly got off and talked to the man.

It was Yu Yi, the strongest of all House Yu disciples- he was the only Sky class master other than the old head of the house! He may only be early phase Sky class, but he was already the peak of the peak.

Even so, when he heard that it was Yu Xiaochen inside the car, he cupped his fist and apologized, "I see- I apologize for my behaviour, head of the house!"

"It's fine, you're protecting father's safety, I'm glad for your loyalty!" Xiaochen also got off and nodded as well.

One could see then that the hidden House Yu was different from the Hidden House Zhao- Xiaochen's position in House Yu had basically reached the point of total control, and the old head of the house didn't need to intervene in family matters anymore, leaving everything to him. Even someone like Yu Yi treated him with strong respect.

"It is my duty, sir," Yu YI said.

"Is father in isolation? I have something important to talk to him about," Xiaochen said.

"The old elder had just exited isolation- please enter, head!" Yu Yi made a gesture.

"I'll wait here then, head of the house," Yu Liu knew the rules- Elder Yu practitioned at the top of the mountain, and other than the children of House Yu, only Yu Yi could enter. He naturally couldn't follow them.

Xiaochen nodded and followed Yu Yi, going through a passage in the mountain before entering through a combination locked stone door.

As the head of the house, Xiaochen naturally knew what the password was- he casually walked into a chamber that was completely different from the surrounding wilderness outside.

The architecture inside was very refined and seemed to have an ancient touch to it.

After entering the innermost room, naturally, there he was- the old head of the house.

The old head had already heard the commotion happening outside- he was a Sky class master after all, and could tell just from the footsteps that his son had arrived.
