Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter - Meeting A Familiar Face

But this was the problem between House Zhao and House Yu- it had nothing to do with Lin Yi.

The time left until the test began was getting shorter, and more and more people started to arrive. Afte Lin Yi and Yu Bing left the inn, they could see a couple more cars coming, evidently headed here.

"I wonder which house these guys come from?" Lin Yi said as he looked at the cars fom faraway.

"Can't tell yet, though it's not for sure that they're from houses. They could also be from sects," Yu BIng shook his head, "I heard that there are even people from ancient sects coming to this test this time, wonder if that's true..."

House Yu's information network was pretty good, especially as the old elder Yu wasn't in isolated practitioning. Naturally, they knew more.

At the front of the cars, there was a red Porsche Cayenne, evidently not in the same group as the other cars. It was driving the fastest, and reached Lin Yi in an instant. With a beautiful drift, it stopped to park in a spot.

"Wonder where this one came from- either he has no experience, or that's just his personality. He seems like the type to make enemies easily," Yu Bing said after looking at that driving style.

Many people who came here weren't here to look cool or act tough, but to join the test. After all, they didn't want to piss of others unnecessarily- the people here were all strong with powerful backgrounds, it wasn't like their usual world in their own sects or houses.

"If he has the strength, like late phase peak Mystic, then it would make sense, I guess. Wonder if he is, though," Lin Yi nodded.

As the two spoke, the car door opened, and a girl wearing tight black clothing appeared.

"A girl?" Yu Bing paused.

The ones who came to the test were usually men, with very few women- after all, the houses usually put more importance on the men compared to the women, since the men were the heirs. House Yu putting such empahasis on Yu Ning was a rare example, and it was just that she wasn't suited for this type of test, that Yu Shan and him were sent here instead.

Why was it her? Lin Yi's eyes widened as he looked at the girl. Seriously? Her? Were assassins allowed to join this test too?

And didn't one have to be Mystic to be in this test? With this thought, he looked at the girl suspiciously. He could tell that there wasn't any qi movement from within her- could she be a physical practitioner?

After Yang Qiqi left the car, she didn't say anything nor did she spare Lin Yi a look- she went into the inn immediately.

Lin Yi sighed, but decided not to greet her. In the first place, she wasn't some powerful person, and having her join his team would just end up in him having to take care of her, instead of her helping him out.

It was best for him to avoid people like that.

"Looks like a pretty one, but she seems a bit cold," Yu Bing said as he looked at her entering the inn.

"Pretty, but troublesome," Lin Yi shrugged, not denying it.

"You know her?" Lin Yi's answer surprised him.

"I can't say that, but we did meet before. She was hurt both times, and after I saved her, she tried to kill me because I saw her body apparently," Lin Yi said helplessly.

"H!" Yu Bing laughed, "Really? And you had to take care of her, no?"

"That would have caused even more trouble," Lin Yi shook his head.

Another few cars arrived, but evidently they were all following one central car over to the parking lot.

Lin Yi counted- there were four in total, all with different areas' licence plates except for the central one, which had a plate of a nearby city to Songshan.

After the cars parked, the people from the three other cars exited and all went over to the middle car, as if fighting over who would open the car door.

A while later, two legs came down from the Hummer car.

"This one's even flashier that the last..." Yu Bing said speechlessly, "But this one is strong- the disciples around that Hummer are people I have seen before, I know two of them. Hidden house Zhuang. If this someone can make people like that bow and pay respect them like that, than this person shouldn't just be from a hidden house or a normal sect- they're probably from an ancient sect!"

"So the ancient sect rumor was true..." Lin Yi was a bit shocked, "But, isn't the Ice Palace an ancient sect as well? How come there are other ancient sect people joining?"

"According to what I know, the ancient sects can all join each other's tests- it's just that they don't have to pay money like we did. Them coming to the tests is more for practical training for the disciples, though the Ice Palace originally did not have that rule before. A different ancient sect did it first, and it looks like the Ice Palace is following suit," Yu Bing explained.

"I see," Lin Yi nodded, "With these ancient sects' disciples joining, the fairness level of this test will clearly become unbalanced- just look at the way they're behaving."

"Yeah!" Yu Bing smiled bitterly, "The disciples may not be too powerful themselves, but with the name and power they have, some hidden house dsiciples will obviously try to latch onto their favor."

It was the first time Zhang Naipao felt the feeling of being a boss- he didn't think that the name of an ancient sect would be so powerful, especially as an the inner disciple of the Everyday and Every Day Sect! All of these hidden house kids wanted a piece of him!

Even though the Everyday and Every Day Sect didn't have a great reputation among the sects, being called a demonic sect and all, they were also a very powerful one. Especially with the old sect elder, who was Sky class late phase peak- he didnt even treat regular Sky class masters as anything much to be worried about!

As a result, Naipao, who was a mere Mystic mid phase peak, was able to receive all the attention and ass kissing of these hidden house disciples!

But one had to admit, Naipao did level up quite quickly- he was a hardworking person, and he always remembered one thing- he needed to work hard, and eventually get revenge for Liang Bro! His life now was great and all, but he understood that all of this had been given to him by Liang Bro, he couldn't let him down!
