Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1476 - Meeting Once Again

"This guy sure tries hard- there's no need to act so cocky even if you are from an ancient sect right?" Yu Bing frowned as he looked at Naipao's behavior.

"Mystic mid phase peak..." Lin Yi was utterly shocked- when the hell did this Zhang Naipao rise from being a small lackey of Zhong Pinliang into someone who had the same strength as him? Though, the energy within him wasn't technically qi and was a bit odd- but the strength was there! Thinking about it, it did feel like he was somewhat familiar with this energy...

Lin Yi seemed to have seen this before- it wasn't complete yet, though he could tell that this qi was able to raise one's strength level in a way different from normal. It was like the energy within his own body- Lin Yi's qi wasn't exactly normal qi, either, but Lin Yi was sure that Naipao's qi wasn't the same type as his. Naipao's body still had a type of qi, not an all-purpose energy like his.

As for which one it was, Lin Yi wasn't sure.

"Mystic mid phase peak?" Yu Bing paused, "This strength isn't much in an ancient sect, right? I thought he was Mystic late phase peak..."

"Ha, but did you know this? Two months ago, he was a normal person..." Lin Yi smiled bitterly, still in disbelief.

"What? A normal person two months ago? How was that possible?" Yu Bing's eyes went wide.

"He was my classmate... What do you think?" Lin Yi felt helpless as well, "Ancient sects are this powerful? Letting a normal human become this powerful in a few months?"

"Ancient sects aren't exactly from old ancient times, it's just that their practitioner's arts were inherited from those times, and these arts are all very powerful, much more so than the hidden houses and common houses' practitioner's arts. It's not impossible," Yu Bing explained, "It's just that we don't know much about it… To tell the truth, I'm very shocked as well, but thinking that he's from an ancient sect, at least it makes a little sense."

At that time Naipao and his company had already walked over to the inn, and Naipao had noticed Lin Yi and Yu Bing standing at the door as well.

Naipao stopped his feet instantly, his face shocked as he stared at Lin Yi, evidently not looking at Yu Bing at all. Who the man was, or what he did, was of no importance to him- what was important to him right now was why Lin Yi was here!

Right... Last time, when Liang Bro went to visit him, he said that Lin Yi was a Mystic already, so it would be normal for him to join this Ice Palace test.. Though, he had no need to understand which house or sect he came from- he was from the Everyday and Every Day sect, one of the peak sects in the ancient sect world!

Even if Lin Yi was from a sect or a hidden house, it didn't matter. The two were now not on the same level of status anymore, and even if he killed Lin Yi here in front of everyone, no one would dare fight for Lin Yi at all!

After all, going against him meant going against the entire Everyday and Every Day sect!

Lin Yi's eyes connected with Naipao's, but surprisingly, no spark's flew during the long time they stared at each other.

In Naipao's eyes- while he did hate Lin Yi- understood that his status now was more than enough to step on Lin Yi to death. In his mind, he had no need for anger- the only emotion he had was the feeling of looking down on this man.

And Lin Yi, while shocked at the speed of Naipao's practitioning, understood that he was still the Naipao that he could step on if he wanted to! Mystic mid phase peak, he was the same as him- that may sound like a tough fight, but Lin Yi was able to fight even Earth class fighters, let alone someone of his own same level.

So Lin Yi didn't even look down on him- all he had was impassiveness.

The two stayed silent, only staring at each other.

Naipao's company all looked at his behaviour, confused, "Great Pao, what's wrong?"

"An old friend- I'll go say hi to him!" Naipao said faintly. Naturally, he could make any one of these guys walk over to handle Lin Yi for him, but how would he show how great he was without going himself?

After all, it was his promise to Pinliang that he would one day squish Lin Yi underneath the soles of his feet!

"Oh?" Niaopao paused, wondering what Naipao meant by that. He wasn't sure, and so only followed behind quietly without making any sudden moves.

"Isn't this Lin Yi boss? Why aren't you at school showing off anymore, why have you come here for?" Naipao said mockingly, "This isn't somewhere you should be, it's a dangerous place, you could lose your life!"

"Mystic mid phase peak? Seems tough," Lin Yi said as he looked at him.

Naipao was stunned- Lin Yi could tell what his strength was? And why did he not seem worried in the slightest, was he maybe even stronger than that? At that thought, he raised his alertness.

But that doesn't make sense- the test had very strict parameters, saying that you had to be a Mystic. And that meant that even if you were Golden late phase peak, and were inches away from breaking through, you still couldn't enter- the same went for those who had just broken through to Earth even if just by a minute!

And so, Lin Yi had to be Mystic- as for which level he was at, it didn't matter! Naipao had a trump card! As long as his enemy wasn't over Mystic, he was able to confidently win, and even if it were an Earth class, he also had something that could damage them- even if it did also damage himself a bit!

This was also why the old elder of his sect placed value on him- so many years had passed without someone like Naipao appearing. It was rare to find someone daring enough to try every single type of pain training, after all!

"You'll get to see just how tough it is later!" Naipao smiled coldly, "But too bad, Liang Bro isn't here- he would be pretty glad to see how I kill you otherwise!"

"You sure are loyal to that guy, huh?" Lin Yi couldn't help but smile, "Doesn't matter how strong you get, you will always just be one of his dogs."

"Dog, follower- doesn't matter. Lin Yi, your grandpa here will leave you with your pitiful life, so I can destroy you the next time we see each other in front of Liang Bro! But, even though you are spared from a death sentence, that doesn't mean you're free to go! Take this!!" Naipao sent a palm toward Lin Yi!!
