Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Of course. In fact, we can also see that Mister Lin Yi has great potential and we don't want to be his enemy!" The ghastly forefather nodded and said,""Of course, you're probably guessing that we're Sky Class late phase peak at the very least since we're the old masters of the blood-clad yellow spring sect, right?"

"That's right!" Lin Yi nodded. This was what he was most confused about-these three should've been able to kill him easily, so why were they talking so much?

"The truth is, the old ancestor of our sect doesn't make a move easily-that's the rule. The money the employer gives us is limited-we can only send a Sky Class mid phase at most, and we can't trouble the old ancestor with this money. Killing you might be as easy as lifting a finger, but we won't do that! Because there are rules in every trade, and we can't break these rules!" "On the contrary, our employer has given us wrong information and caused our sect to suffer heavy losses. We want to take revenge on him. We seriously suspect that he's setting us up on purpose!" The ghastly forefather explained.

Many of these rules were made up by the ghastly old man to gain Lin Yi's trust. Of course, he had his reasons, and Lin Yi believed him. He didn't know what these three were doing here otherwise!

"Who is your employer? Who hired your people to kill me?" This was the question Lin Yi wanted to know the most.

"This employer of yours is an old acquaintance of yours." "Actually, we think you're a young expert with endless potential and want to befriend you," the ghastly patriarch said."But that's not the end of it. Our blood-clad netherworld sect also has some young talents. We've come here personally to ask for your help to teach this employer a lesson. Otherwise, we won't be able to take this lying down!"

"What's wrong? Did this employer have a powerful background? Even you guys don't dare to take action?" Lin Yi blinked.

"That's not it!" The ghastly forefather waved his hand and said,""We're an assassin organization after all, and it's not good for our reputation to deal with our employer. Moreover, we only suspect that the employer is trying to trick us. Plus, he's a disciple of an ancient sect right now, and it's not good for us to do anything to an ancient sect disciple!"

"Pfft ... An ancient sect disciple?" "You guys think I'd be able to do anything to an ancient sect that you guys are all so afraid of?" Lin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Of course. That's why we came here personally. Otherwise, do you think you'd be so influential that the two of us patriarchs and my Butler would come to you together?" The ghastly forefather asked.

"Oh? Who is your employer?" Lin Yi asked, confused.

"Zhao Qibing!" "He's a disciple of the Dark Palace right now," the old man said."If we go after them, it'll cause a conflict between the ancient sects. Mr. Lin Yi doesn't need to do that. From what I know, the current leader of the Dark Palace, Chu Mengyao, is his woman, right?"

Lin Yi was just about to say that Mengyao wasn't his woman, but a good friend when he remembered the confession she made before she left. She was probably his woman now, so he nodded. "It's Zhao Qibing ..."

Lin Yi's doubts were finally solved! He had been wondering how he had provoked the people of the blood-clad yellow spring sect, but it turned out that they were not looking for trouble on purpose, but were entrusted by someone!

This way, Lin Yi's hatred towards the blood-clad yellow spring sect faded. The assassin group was all paid to work, and the main culprit was Zhao Qibing!

"What do I get out of this?" Lin Yi thought about it and asked. He knew that he was asking a Tiger for its skin, but the old man had explained so much, and they wouldn't do anything to him anymore. That was why Lin Yi had the courage to ask.

"Punish him and help us vent our anger. Consider it as giving us face. We owe you a favor and we'll definitely return it!" Old ancestor yellow spring said.

"You owe me a favor?" Lin Yi pondered for a moment-this was a profitable business! Chu Mengyao would definitely punish Zhao Qibing, so the blood-clad yellow spring sect would owe him a favor for nothing! This was really a good thing! And so, Lin Yi nodded,"Alright, since that's the case, it's a deal!"

"Straightforward!" Old ancestor yellow spring nodded and said,"I like straightforward people the most. Alright, it's settled then. The three of us won't disturb you any longer. We'll take our leave!"

"You're leaving just like that?" Lin Yi blinked-he didn't think that these three were really here for this, leaving after!

"That's right. The purpose of our trip is to ask Mr. Lin Yi to help us vent our anger on Zhao Qibing. Our blood-clad yellow spring sect has been established for so long, but we've never been tricked by our employer like this. This is a scam!" The ghastly forefather said angrily.

"Alright, I'll let Chu Mengyao know." "Take care, you three!" Lin Yi nodded.

"Alright, there's no need to send us off. We'll be on our way." With that, the ghastly ancestor followed the two out of Lin Yi's Villa. They really didn't stop at all!

Lin Yi frowned as he watched them leave. Today's matter was really a little strange! The old man's words seemed reasonable, but Lin Yi felt that there was no need for the three to treat him like this with their status.

Was it really because of Zhao Qibing? If they wanted to deal with Zhao Qibing, they could just tell the Dark Palace and owe them a favor. There was no need for them to come here and waste their time, right?

However, if it was because Chu Mengyao was the current leader of the Dark Palace, and they tried to assassinate him, they were afraid that Chu Mengyao wouldn't give them face. This was possible, and so they came to him to persuade him.

That was the only possibility Lin Yi could think of, but he was relieved that the three didn't have any hostility. The Jade didn't give him any warning from the start, which meant that they really didn't want to kill him!

So, Lin Yi could only shake his head and not think about it for now. After all, there was no point in thinking about it. Since there was nothing else, Lin Yi decided to focus on training the art of Dragon mastery and refining the forging fire! (To be continued.)
