Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Haha, that's right. That's true!" Elder Yu nodded,"in-law, you're smart!"

"You're too kind, I had no choice!" Old master Zhao laughed and said,""Alright, let's eat first-we'll have the energy to deal with Lin Yi later!“

Under old Zhao's lead, everyone raised their wine glasses-whether they joined in or not, they were all losers in this gathering, and so they couldn't object to old Zhao's plan. Of course, the Hidden House Pi was an exception!

What elder Pi was thinking about right now was not only not supporting elder Zhao's plan, but also how to make it fail.

"Zhishan, Zhihai is injured and is still in his room. Go back and see him. You have nothing to do here!" Grandpa Pi turned to Zhishan and winked at him. He believed that with Zhishan's cunning, he would be able to understand what he meant.

"Yes, Grandpa, I'll go back now!" Zhishan nodded-he'd seen the old man blink at him, and paused for a second. He remembered what happened earlier, and understood what the old man wanted him to do-to send a message to Lin Yi!

The Hidden House Pi couldn't find a chance to get on Lin Yi's good side-this was just the beginning! Grandpa Pi and Zhihai both understood that they needed to ease their relationship with Lin Yi a little. They didn't have enough bargaining chips to get Lin Yi to save them.

No one felt that there was anything wrong with what the old man was doing-Zhihai was injured, after all, and there was nothing wrong with letting Zhishan go back to check on him. No one would pay him any attention after he left.

Zhishan walked out of the restaurant and headed to the Hidden House Pi's temporary residence-who knew if the Hidden House Zhao disciples were watching him? Therefore, it was impossible for him to directly go to the Han family's hidden residence to inform them. That would expose him.

Zhishan went back to his temporary residence and checked on Zhihai. He was still unconscious-the Qi in his body had caused him to go crazy! Physical practitioners didn't cultivate Qi, so their resistance to Qi was naturally weak. That's why just a little Qi was enough to knock him out.

Of course, this was also Zhihai's bad luck-the purple lightning Beast just happened to have this ability. Otherwise, other practitioners would only be able to form their Qi and send it out, unless they were Sky Class Masters. Not all Sky Class Masters could do this.

Looking at Zhihai's condition, Zhishan was even more determined to resolve his grudges with Lin Yi! Zhihai was the hope of the current generation of house Pi, and also Zhishan's right-hand man. He hoped that after he became the head of the Hidden House Pi, he could team up with Zhihai and make the Hidden House Pi stronger and bigger!

Zhishan sighed. He didn't have Lin Yi's contact details, but he did have the contact details of the Hidden House's elder han. All the heads of the hidden houses had their contact details recorded.

Zhishan found han Tianba's number and called without hesitation. Han Tianba's voice came through,"Hello, who is this?"

"Old man han, I'm Pi Zhishan from the Hidden House Pi. I have something important to report to Mister Lin Yi!" Zhishan said.

He wasn't afraid of anyone eavesdropping in this place-the soundproofing here was top class, and even Sky Class Masters wouldn't be able to hear anything. After all, this was a guest's privacy, and house Zhao had done a good job of hiding it-it wouldn't cause any problems.

Otherwise, there would be a lot of Sky Class elders here, and if they all used their senses to check out the other houses "activities, then there would be no point in holding the Hidden House Summit.

"Pi Zhishan?" Han Tianba was taken aback, not knowing why he was calling at this time. But since he was looking for Lin Yi, he couldn't make the decision on his own. He turned to Lin Yi and asked,"Mister Lin, hidden house Pi's Pi Zhishan is calling, he has something to report to you!"

"Looking for me?" Lin Yi hesitated-could it be because of Zhihai? But how did Zhishan know that he had a way to cure Zhihai? No matter what, Lin Yi still took the phone and said,""Pi Zhishan?"

"Mister Lin Yi, it's me. I have something important to tell you!" Zhishan said.

"What is it?" Lin Yi asked without changing his expression.

"Mr. Lin, the Hidden House Yu, hidden house Zhao, hidden house you, hidden house Tang, hidden mountain Qian, and Golden Bell sect have come to an agreement. They're going to stop you after you leave!" With that, Zhishan repeated what the old man and the others had said in the banquet hall to Lin Yi.

As expected! Lin Yi's heart froze-it looked like the old man wasn't going to let him go, but what was this Pi Zhishan trying to do by calling him now? Express goodwill?

"Pi Zhishan, I'm not one to beat around the bush. Tell me the reason you're calling," Lin Yi said.

"Mr. Lin, to be honest, my Grandpa didn't agree to old man Zhao's proposal to form an alliance. The Hidden House Pi doesn't have a deep grudge against you-it's like we said before, it was all caused by the common house Xiao, there's no deep hatred between us. Those people died because of the common house Xiao, and they weren't direct descendants of the Hidden House Pi, so there's no need for us to go against you, Mr. Lin!" Zhishan said.

"That's all?" Lin Yi asked.

"There's ... There's more!" There were some things that Zhishan didn't want to say this time-after all, he had to do it step by step, and he couldn't just tell Lin Yi everything he wanted to know. But since Lin Yi asked, he didn't want to hide it,"Actually, it's me and Zhihai-we saw that han xiaopo became your boss, and the Hidden House han became so powerful! We were so envious, and we wanted you to be our boss too, so that you could protect the Hidden House Pi!"

Lin Yi laughed at Zhishan's words-this guy wasn't stupid, after all. He wanted Lin Yi to help Zhihai heal, but he couldn't just say it out loud. Instead, he came up with an excuse that he wanted Lin Yi to be his boss. If Lin Yi agreed, then Zhihai would be his follower, and Lin Yi couldn't just stand by and watch.

"If I remember correctly, your brother Zhihai is a cripple now. What's in it for me to take in a cripple as my follower?" Lin Yi asked, feigning ignorance. (To be continued.)
