Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1493 - Midnight Visitor

After hearing Lin Yi's words, Yu Bing's eyes lit up! That one sentence alone made his horizons widened all of a sudden- yes if he were to take his father's position, or even become a practitioner as strong as Sky class… Then there'd be nothing preventing Lin Yi and his sister from getting together!

"You're right!" Yu Bing grit his teeth. "I'll work hard!"

"Don't fret on the details too much- aim for the bigger things! Leave the small stuff to me." Lin Yi said.

"Right, you have the confidence to deal with them?"

"Some, but we need to improvise a bit. Like fifty fifty." Lin Yi said honestly. "I've thought of a couple of possibilities, so hopefully, some of them will work."

"That's good enough!" Yu Bing took a deep breath. Fifty fifty was amazing already- fighting someone at your own strength was already fifty fifty in the first place; there was no guarantee who would win, let alone the situation they were in, facing against people much stronger than them.

"Get some rest- the test is tomorrow." Lin Yi said.

"Alright!" Yu Bing nodded and got up to leave.

"Sleep here- I'm worried Yu Shan might try something at night. This is right before the test; after all, the best chance to finish you off." Lin Yi said as he remembered the coldness in Yu Shan's eyes from before. He pointed at the bed beside him.

"Then what about you? There's only one bed here?" Yu Bing asked.

"I'm not sleeping- I'll be able to practition on the sofa." Lin Yi said. "You can sleep first- there's no need to worry about the time, I'll wake you up."

"Alright…" Yu Bing nodded and accepted.

Naturally, as expected, Yu Shan and Feng Nitian were slowly making their way to Lin Yi's room!

"Nitian Bro, the rest is up to you! After you lock him in place, I'll make a move!" Yu Shan whispered to Nitian, his eyes poisonous.

"No problem!" Nitian nodded.

With Nitian's ridiculous ability, using it cost quite a lot of qi as well- he wouldn't be using it if it were for some important reason. Plus, there was a limit of times he could use it every day, too, and today he used it to help Yu Shan against Yu Bing!

The reason wasn't that Nitian was some great man who helped out his follower as a boss- it was because Yu Shan promised him that if they were to remove Yu Bing, he'd be able to take the spot of the heir of House Yu- and once he became the head, he'd let House Yu be a support to the ancient House Feng!

House Yu may be a hidden house, but it was still the strongest hidden house, with two Sky class masters. If House Yu was in the House Feng camp, then it'd be a great contribution for Nitian's part- he himself would be able to take the heirship!

At first, Nitian promised Yu Shan to end Yu Bing during the test, but with the change of the rules, even someone from the ancient sect wouldn't dare defy the Ice Palace restrictions!

Though the Ice Palace may not finish him off after his defiance, they would interact with House Feng's elders- and this would be a huge demerit for Nitian; it'd be bad for his path to heirship!

So, tonight was their only chance- the test hadn't begun after all, and it wouldn't be against the laws if they killed Yu Bing now.

Yu Shan took out a small ID cracker, putting it in front of the door, and opening it with a click. Even if he hadn't met Nitian, he had already prepared to find a chance to kill Yu Bing during this test!

This ID cracker was made for the room door lock, evidently taken from his house. He wouldn't be able to just buy it here, after all.

"No one's here?" Yu Shan didn't open the door but used the light coming from the window; he could tell what the situation was- he was a practitioner, after all.

Yu Shan could see that the room was empty, and so could Nitian, naturally. There weren't any closets or anything and the bed having no gap under it as well.

"Is the toilet empty?" NItian asked.

Yu Shan took a look and shook his head. "Empty…"

Nitian turned on the lights- it was true, there wasn't anyone here.

"There's no one here?" Nitian felt quite disappointed- he'd channeled his practitioner's arts for nothing, and couldn't show it off.

"Could he be in Ling Yi's room next door? My cousin was quite close with the man, always visiting him." Yu Shan guessed.

"Possible." Nitian nodded.

"Then… Let's go to the second room? We might as well go all the way and finish off Ling Yi as well?" Yu Shan's eyes tightened. "You have a three-meter distance restriction anyway, and anyone in that area wouldn't be able to move- we can finish him off too!"

"That won't do!" Nitian shook his head

"Why not?" Yu Shan blinked.

"Ling Yi is someone Zhang Naipao wants- he made it clear that he's his target. If I were to do anything to him, I'd be interfering." Nitian said. "Plus, I heard that he didn't want to kill Ling Yi, too- he wants to keep him alive for his Liang Bro something to do it himself. So I'd be going against Naipao if I killed him!"

"We're helping him out here, aren't we? Plus, why would you be scared of Zhang Naipao, Nitian Bro?" Yu Shan said unwillingly.

"I'm not afraid, but I don't want to cross him for something like this!" Nitian, naturally, could tell that the guy was trying to edge him on. "We're all on the ancient group playing field- causing vendettas like this is pointless."

"I see…" Yu Shan was disappointed. "So, we're leaving this?"

"Don't worry- I'll help you during the test! We can't kill on the testing grounds, but I can cripple him. As long as he still has breath left, we haven't broken the rules- he wouldn't have any threat after becoming a cripple, right?" Nitian smiled casually.

"You're right!" Yu Shan relaxed upon hearing that. "Alright, I'll leave it to you then, Nitian Bro, please take care of Yu Bing!"

"No worries!" Nitian nodded, and the two left Yu BIng's room...
