Beauty and the Bodyguard

West Star Mountain village.

Kongwen said goodbye to old Lin and was ready to go back.

Kongwen stayed for a few more days to drink with old Lin, but he still had to leave.

His mission this time was complete-he'd successfully helped Lin Yi get through the disaster, so it was time for him to go back and continue his isolated practitioning and break through that barrier ...

"Old friend, I'm leaving. Take care!" Kongwen smiled at old Lin who was standing at the entrance.

"This time ... Lin Yi's future will be up to him." Old Lin sighed,"I don't know what those two guys were thinking, sending you to protect Lin Yi. It's not exactly a smooth journey, but at least there won't be that many hidden houses looking for trouble with him ....."

Kongwen smiled bitterly. Only old Lin would dare to call them "guys" because they had been through life and death together. He wouldn't dare to do that!

"Master and him both have their own considerations, right? you should know that ... Iron can't become steel if it's not tempered, and Jade can't be made if it's not polished!" Kongwen said,""Plus, before he reached that level, there's a limit to the number of times I can help him every year ... If it exceeds two times, I won't be able to explain it to master ... Plus, some forces are already out of our control, and it's been thirteen years ... You and I haven't made any big breakthroughs because of our talent, but the ancient sects and hidden houses have many talents, especially the hidden houses, they've suddenly had a few Sky Class Masters. I'm worried about this ..."

"Yeah, your worry is what I'm worried about as well-the hidden houses are starting to get out of control, but that's inevitable. Those two guys aren't here anymore, and we can't intimidate those Sky Class Masters with just the two of us, especially me ... I can't leave yet ..." Old Lin smiled bitterly.

"But ... I think there's a reason why master arranged this with him ..." Kongwen sighed. In fact, even he couldn't predict Lin Yi's fate. It was just as the ancient records said-once a person learned the ancient manual, their fate would change. The more profound the ancient manual was, the more unpredictable the practitioner's fate would be. Kongwen didn't believe it at first, but he failed when he first thought that Lin Yi was in trouble. At that time, Lin Yi had perfectly broken through to Mystic class, surprising kongwen.

From then on, kongwen's prediction of Lin Yi's fate was never accurate, so he decided to give up on it.

Kongwen disappeared in the blink of an eye, but old Lin didn't seem surprised at all. He turned around and left ...

Kongwen's face changed when he saw the communication device in his room.

Kongwen did not dare to waste any time. He sat cross-legged on the eight trigrams and began to calculate. After a while, kongwen opened his eyes. The result of the calculation made his heart beat faster!

Kongwen called old Lin again.

The last time they were in the West Star Mountain village was the first time they had contacted each other after they had separated. They had contacted each other through a communicator. However, this time, they were contacting each other directly through a mobile phone.

"Old friend, you've returned to your training ground?" Old Lin asked.

"Old friend Lin, there is a problem ..." Kongwen said.

"Is there a problem? What's the problem?" Old Lin blinked.

"The Hidden House ... Is probably going to start a storm!" Kongwen said.

"Hidden house? How were they going to stir up trouble? As long as the earth Class doesn't show up, then with Yi's strength and his friends, no one will be able to touch him!" Old Lin said, confused.

"But ... What if the hidden houses don't want to follow the agreement?" Kongwen let out a long sigh."After all, it's been so many years since he left with master. The Hidden House committee's control over the hidden houses is getting weaker by the day, and I've been in isolation trying to break through the barrier. I don't believe that they're not up to something ... And I've done a divination just now. The situation of the hidden houses ... Is going to change soon ..."

"What? At a time like this, they ..."Old Lin was shocked. "You're saying that Earth Class and above are about to appear ..."

"Hehehe, after all these years, anyone would be tempted ..." Kongwen said, -"If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have let him go back no matter what-he'd stay by your side to recuperate! Even if they sent a Sky Class master here, hehe, he'd never come back!"

"But, I'm worried about Yi ..." Old Lin said quickly.

"I didn't think that the hidden houses would test me like this ..." Kongwen told old Lin about the communicator. Yes, kongwen was the elder of the Council of hidden houses!

However, because of what happened back then, the founder of the arbitration Association left, and he went into seclusion to cultivate, trying to break through the last barrier. He wanted to reach the peak of his strength before the opening of Sky Class Island, enter the sky path, and find his master ...

And so, according to the promise and agreement he made to his master, he could only come out and help Lin Yi when he was in an irreversible danger, but there was a clear limit, and that was no more than two times a year!

This was a restriction on his cultivation, and it was also a restriction on Lin Yi! If one always thought of having a backer, then one would not be able to make progress on the path of cultivation and would develop a lazy personality.

Kongwen would be severely punished if he exceeded the limit!

Kongwen was very regretful. He had wasted his first chance this year, and now he had used up his second chance. This meant that no matter what the danger was, he would not be able to come out again!

"It seems that these people have long planned this!" Old Lin couldn't help but get angry."If Yi's master didn't leave, hehe, the ancient sects would have to give him face. Now, all these new hidden houses are starting to show up ..."

"Old friend Lin, call the people around Lin Yi right now and tell them to hide. Don't give them any chance to attack!" "But they might not be targeting Yi," kongwen said.

This was also why kongwen didn't know about Yu Huoxing and the Qi gathering pill, and the fact that Qibing had become the heir of house Zhao. If he had known, he wouldn't have said this.
