Beauty and the Bodyguard

"I'm really sorry about this-we didn't know that miss Chen Xi was elder Lin's godsister. If we did, we wouldn't have dared to do this even with the ancient sect backing us up!" Old man Zhuang's words were pleasant to hear, and he was implying that Lin Yi was a big Shot, and that even people with ancient backgrounds wouldn't dare to mess with him.

"It's nothing. I don't blame you for not knowing. " Lin Yi didn't want to pursue the matter any further-it wasn't as if the Hidden House Zhuang was in the wrong. It was just that their information wasn't on the same level, and they wouldn't have made a move if they knew Chen Xi's background.

The two Zhuang brothers didn't dare walk beside Lin Yi, following a few steps behind him. Old man Zhuang treated Lin Yi as a guest and went straight to the most luxurious living room of the Hidden House Zhuang. This was usually a place for the heads of other hidden houses and people from the ancient plane, and it was clear how much house Zhuang valued Lin Yi now that it was used for him.

"Senior Lin, this is all a misunderstanding. We, the hidden Zhuang family, want to use this opportunity to bury the hatchet. I wonder if you'll accept us?" Old master Zhuang knew Lin Yi's personality to some extent-he knew that Lin Yi liked to be straightforward and didn't like to beat around the bush, so he decided to skip the pleasantries and make his intentions clear.

"Haha ..." Lin Yi laughed,""What can you offer? I'll take in your Zhuang family as my underlings, and I'll have to help you settle things if anything happens ..."

"The Zhuang family will naturally follow senior Lin's lead. Of course, to express our sincerity, we will offer all the good stuff of the Zhuang family for senior Lin to choose from!" Old master Zhuang said seriously.

"Oh?" Lin Yi was a little surprised at old man Zhuang's words-he didn't expect the old man to offer such attractive conditions, just like the Hidden House han! One had to know that even though the Hidden House han had submitted to Lin Yi, they were more or less forced to give Lin Yi all the good stuff to choose from. The Hidden House Zhuang, on the other hand, was different. They only offended Lin Yi and kidnapped Chen Xi. Taking out one or two treasures was enough to settle the matter.

But the Hidden House Zhuang had revealed his trump card-it seemed like he had no intention of negotiating.

"Then let's go and take a look." Lin Yi nodded, finally accepting the Hidden House Zhuang. He was a straightforward person, and he liked straightforward people. He wouldn't want to deal with them if they were hiding things from him, but he agreed with what the Hidden House Zhuang did.

"Senior Lin, please!" Old master Zhuang let out a breath of relief, a smile on his face. If Lin Yi said that, then it meant that the Hidden House Zhuang would be accepted for sure. There wouldn't be any more changes, unless Lin Yi went back on his word or the items in the vault were too lousy for Lin Yi to care about."The treasure vault is in the manor, in the basement of my courtyard."

Zhuang niaoqiang and Zhuang niaopao's eyes lit up as well-they'd never been to their house's treasure vault before, and they'd finally gotten to take a look thanks to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi carried Chen Xi on his back, not waking her up. He could tell that Chen Xi didn't have enough sleep, and he wanted to use this opportunity to let her sleep a little more. This girl had it hard, too. Other than studying every day, she had to go scrap picking to support her family.

The design of the vault was similar to house han 'S. Lin Yi even suspected that they had a connection or that they found the same designer. Either way, the situation was similar. After old man Zhuang verified the password, the door to the vault opened.

"Bird gun, bird cannon, what I'm going to say now, if you guys hear it, just do not spread it! Even I, your father, have never said these words to you!" "This is the core secret of the Hidden House Zhuang, and it's only passed down from generation to generation," old man Zhuang said. "But now that we've joined senior Lin, we naturally can't hide this from him."

"Yes, Grandpa, we won't say anything!" Zhuang niaoqiang and Zhuang niaopao quickly promised.

Lin Yi was a little surprised-what was this hidden house Zhuang's Secret that even the Zhuang brothers didn't know?

"Senior Lin, actually, the ancestors of the Hidden House Zhuang originated from the everyday and every day sect. Our ancestor was a disciple of the everyday and every day sect, but he fell out with the sect leader back then and left the sect to set up his own sect. However, he's weak by himself. Even though the Hidden House Zhuang was at its peak, almost as strong as the ancient times, we don't have any outstanding talents in our younger generation. Even the everyday and every day sect doesn't know about this anymore, and we don't dare to announce that our hidden house Zhuang's martial arts came from the everyday and every day sect. Not only would we attract the hostility of the other sects, but we're also afraid that the everyday and every day sect would come to us for the good things our ancestors took away. " Old master Zhuang explained in one breath.

"So ... You are a branch of the everyday and every day sect? It seems like he has a big background!" "I have a grudge against the everyday and every day sect," Lin Yi said, surprised. "Have you guys thought it through?"

"This can be considered a feud between our ancestors. If this matter gets out, we won't get any benefits." "Besides, even if elder Lin didn't mention it, the everyday and every day sect wouldn't care about small fries like us, would they?" old master Zhuang smiled bitterly.

"Let's see what treasures you guys have,"Lin Yi nodded.

"Alright, this is the treasure vault and that is the Sutra library. What does senior Lin want to see first?" Old master Zhuang asked.

"Hmm ... Let's take a look at the treasures first." Lin Yi said after some thought.

Lin Yi wasn't lacking in Arts and practitioner's Arts right now, unless they were really heaven-defying ones. So Lin Yi's attention was on the treasures first, seeing if there were anything he needed.

"It's here!" Old master Zhuang brought Lin Yi into one of the rooms and pointed at a display shelf."This is the treasure of our hidden house Zhuang!"

Lin Yi looked at the items on the display rack, speechless. There weren't many things on the display rack, and they were all packed in small bottles and boxes like this. There were labels below the items, indicating what they were. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendation and monthly votes.
