Beauty and the Bodyguard

Naipao's words made it clear to them that Lin Yi was the one who'd crippled nitian and naipao in the Ice Palace test-this was someone who could be even scarier than naipao, of course, they'd keep their distance!

They all had powerful sects backing them up, but the test wasn't a competition of background. They could look down on Lin Yi when they returned to their sects, but who would want to lose here?

Even the practitioners who'd pissed Qiqi off felt like they were all in danger-Qiqi and Lin Yi seemed to be pretty close, and if they pissed her off, did that mean they pissed Lin Yi off?

Luckily, Lin Yi didn't pursue the matter after Qiqi was done with her food, and left the restaurant with the others.

Of course, although most of the disciples were afraid of Lin Yi, they also looked down on him. To them, he was just a wandering practitioner. No matter how strong he was, he was just one person. When he faced an ancient sect, he would be nothing more than a scum.

"Brother Lin, I'm really impressed today-that Zhang naipao was such a Big Shot, but he didn't dare to act rashly in front of you, brother Lin!" Li Ciba said with admiration.

"That's right! If we hadn't met brother Lin, we might have been at a disadvantage in this trial!" Feng Shanshan nodded.

"That's for sure-this Zhang naipao isn't someone to mess with, just look at how bad things are for that earth Overlord-he's a practitioner from the Western regions, and he came all the way here, only to be beaten down before he even got to the test, sigh!" GE Xian said.

Qiqi couldn't help but curl her lips at the whole bunch of people praising Lin Yi. Hmph, this guy was really annoying. It seemed like she had no hope of getting her revenge ... Forget it, how was she supposed to get her revenge? He'd saved her so many times, and it didn't make sense for her to return his kindness with ingratitude-Qiqi sighed at that thought.

"Let's not talk about this. Come to my room, I have something to tell you. " Lin Yi said with a wave of his hand. He didn't care about the flattery-he was thinking about the long term. In the hidden world, Lin Yi had a firm foothold, but in the ancient world, he was still a lot weaker. He didn't have a voice of his own, and getting to know Feng Shasha and Li Ciba was a great opportunity, but he could only maintain a personal relationship with the disciples of these ancient sects. It was difficult to make the sect or family behind them look at you with respect.

"Why ... Why are we going to your room?" Qiqi looked at Lin Yi warily-she'd been thinking about something else just now, and hadn't heard everything Lin Yi said. She thought that Lin Yi wanted her to go alone, and so she was a little nervous.

Lin Yi looked at Qiqi, stunned. The others were confused as well, not understanding what Qiqi was doing.

"You came to my room to discuss the trial, but if you don't want to come, then forget it." Lin Yi said with one look at Qiqi.

"Ah, the trial? I'll go then." Qiqi blushed-she didn't hear what she was thinking, and she made a huge mistake-so everyone was going!

Lin Yi shook his head and ignored her. The group went into Lin Yi's room, and he took out the map he'd prepared earlier. These people wanted to recommend him to be their leader, and Lin Yi wanted to win them over. The map was the best gift for that.

It was a good thing Lin Yi printed a lot of copies, or there wouldn't be enough for everyone.

Lin Yi distributed the maps to everyone, and everyone was confused.

"Boss, What's this?" Qikun asked, confused.

"This is the map for this trial, I got it in advance." Lin Yi said.

"What? The map of the trial?" Feng Shangshi was very surprised. He came from an ancient family and didn't get a map beforehand, but Lin Yi, a practitioner from the common world, had a map?

Li Ciba was surprised as well-he didn't have a map either, but Lin Yi had one.

Of course, the one who was the most surprised was GE Xian. He made a living by selling information, but he couldn't get the map himself, and Lin Yi got it instead. This made him blush with shame. Who was the one doing this for a living?

Qikun, on the other hand, wasn't too surprised-he knew how amazing Lin Yi was, and he'd gotten used to it after a while.

It was the same for Qiqi-she'd gotten used to Lin Yi's strength already, and it didn't matter if it was the trade or the test-following Lin Yi was always beneficial.

"On this map, there's a safe location marked. If you encounter any danger in this trial, you can hide at this marked location and wait for the others to meet up." Lin Yi said.

"In other words, as long as we get here, we can safely pass this trial?" Feng Shanshan asked in surprise.

"Of course, you can collect the spirit herbs required by the trial before hiding here. You can also wait for me to go and collect the spirit herbs required. However, even if I go, I may not be able to collect as many spirit herbs as you." "This map's just an extra layer of protection for everyone," Lin Yi said honestly. "It can't really help much."

"This is already very good!" GE Xian said,"I know how difficult this test is. If it wasn't for the fact that I've been stuck at Earth Class late phase peak for so long and wanted to try my luck to break through to Sky Class with a Qi gathering pill, I wouldn't have come here."

"There's a flaw in the Qi gathering pill's breakthrough to Sky Class, right?" Lin Yi asked without changing his expression.

"That's true, but for us solo practitioners, being able to reach Sky Class is already pretty good. I know my own situation, and if I don't break through to Sky Class at this age, then my future will be even slimmer. " GE Xian said.

Feng Shangshi and Li Ciba sighed as well. Lin Yi was a brilliant leader. If they didn't follow Lin Yi, he wouldn't have given them this map. Yang Qiqi, on the other hand, was deep in thought as she held the map. There was a faint joy on her face, and they didn't know what she was thinking.

After getting the map, these people returned to their respective rooms to rest. Nothing special happened for the whole day. Until night, a sound rang out in the open space outside the inn. Although the sound was not loud, it had a strong penetrating power, so that all the cultivators in the inn could hear it clearly, even if the windows were closed. (To be continued.)
