Beauty and the Bodyguard

Shangguan LAN 'er scratched her head and said,""That's how I found you. I told the bald Grandpa in the back mountain Hall that I was coming to find you, and then he sent someone to send me here."

Bald Grandpa? Lin Yi blinked, realizing that she was talking about the bald elder in the back hall.

However, this made him even more shocked. Could the elders of the back mountain Hall really be so powerful that they could lock onto him so easily in the vast back mountain?

Even with the assistance of all kinds of restrictions in the back mountain, this ability was still so exaggerated that it left people dumbfounded!

There were rumors and speculations about it, but it was a living example right in front of him-Lin Yi couldn't help but shiver. It seemed like he had to be more careful when he moved around the back mountain in the future, or his secret might be exposed at any time.

Seeing Lin Yi's disbelieving expression, Shangguan LAN 'er asked curiously,"Eh? Little Junior Brother, don't you know? I've heard my grandfather mention that after the elders of the rear Mountain Hall use many restrictions to assist them, their perception can cover the entire rear mountain, except for the core area. Although no one would do this under normal circumstances, it's very convenient for them to find someone or investigate something in the rear mountain!"

This was expected. After all, no matter how strong they were, there was a limit to human strength. No one would pay attention to the entire back mountain all the time. If they really did so, it was no joke to vomit blood.

As for Lin Yi, if it wasn't for Shangguan LAN 'er's request for him, a Big Shot like the back mountain Hall elder wouldn't waste his energy on a newbie like him, much less pay attention to him all the time. As long as he was careful, there shouldn't be a problem.

"The core area shouldn't be the place that should be heavily monitored, right? why can't I sense it?" Lin Yi asked curiously.

"Ya! I accidentally let it slip. This is a secret that I found out when I eavesdropped on grandpa's conversation with the other elders. When the higher-ups talked about this matter, they called it the shame of the three great pavilions, and ordinary people are not allowed to know about it. " Shangguan LAN 'er stuck out her tongue in a cute way.

The disgrace of the three pavilions? Lin Yi's interest was piqued-he'd been on Sky Class Island for four months now, and because he'd been in the welcoming Pavilion all this time, he didn't know much about the three pavilions, especially the secrets they didn't want people to know.

The back mountain was the territory of the three pavilions, and something called a disgrace by the higher-ups happened on their own territory. Lin Yi's curiosity was piqued.

"Forget it, I won't tell anyone else, but it's a different matter if it's you, Little Junior Brother. I'll just tell you secretly." Shangguan LAN 'er pretended to be mysterious as she got Lin Yi to move closer to her ear,"The front and back mountain halls could monitor the entire back mountain. However, something happened later on. When an elder of the back mountain Hall was monitoring the core area, his divine sense was destroyed by a few of the most powerful spirit beasts. He has been in a coma since then. At that time, the three pavilions gathered a total of ten elders to suppress him, but the end result was left unsettled. After that, this matter was rarely mentioned."

Lin Yi couldn't help but narrow his eyes at the secret. He thought that the back mountain was completely under the control of the three pavilions, but it didn't seem to be the case.

Although the three great pavilions controlled the back mountain in name, they should not be able to do much to the spirit beasts in the back mountain, especially the most powerful ones. Otherwise, they would not have been called the disgrace of the three great pavilions.

Lin Yi couldn't help but be shocked. How strong were the spirit beasts in the core of the back mountain to be able to fight against ten elders of the three pavilions?

No wonder during the newbie trial last time, that damn thing said that with his current strength, if he were to face those guys, they could easily kill him with a single look. Those words were indeed not false.

At this time, Lin Yi suddenly remembered Yu Xiaoke and his inheritor girlfriends who were unconscious. He asked,""This elder hasn't recovered from his coma yet. Didn't you ask master Zhang Liju for help? or even he can't do anything?"

Shangguan LAN 'er shook her head."Master Zhang Liju is one of the most influential people in the whole of Nakajima. He's also the leader of the Nakajima pill division. Why would he come to the North Island for such a small matter?" Although he came from Beidao and is more or less biased towards Beidao, he is now standing on Nakajima's side. We can't be too biased and ask him for help for every little thing, right?"

"I see." Lin Yi let out a breath of relief. This elder's symptoms sounded similar to Yu Xiaoke and the others. If Zhang Liju couldn't do anything about it, he would be worried.

After all, even though Zhao Hongbo had said that Zhang Liju had successfully cured master ice and master snow during the elder's guidance day, it was all just a rumor, not a real example.

"But I heard from my Grandpa that the reason why the three Pavilion elders didn't go to master Zhang Liju for help was because they thought that they didn't want to waste such a precious favor on such a small thing." She continued.

Lin Yi couldn't help but smile. The life of a back mountain Hall elder was a small matter?

But thinking about it, compared to Zhang Liju's favor, it did seem like that.

From the three pavilions "point of view, an elder-level master was hard to come by, but they could still recruit and train him. On the other hand, Zhang Liju's favor was rare, and it was a precious strategic resource that couldn't be wasted.

"Alright, I've told you such a big secret. Next, you have to work hard for me, your Senior Sister!" Shangguan LAN 'er stood on her tiptoes and patted Lin Yi's shoulder again.

"Then ... Alright." Lin Yi thought about it and finally nodded.

Although he wanted to take this rare opportunity to stroll around the periphery of the back mountain and search for the heart-devouring exquisite grass, he could take care of these things at the same time by following Shangguan LAN 'er.

Moreover, he was also worried about Shangguan LAN 'er wandering around the back mountain alone with the little ring bear. Even if the elders of the back mountain Hall paid attention to her whereabouts at all times, if something really happened, even the powerful elders would not be able to do anything.

"However, what is the forging material you want? do you know where it is?" Lin Yi asked.

Looking for something in this vast back mountain was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Like the last time he was looking for the heart-devouring exquisite grass, even if he knew its characteristics, it was only by luck that he barely found it. If he didn't even know these, there was almost no possibility of success. (To be continued.) "If you like this work, you're welcome to come to Qidian.com to give your recommendation and monthly vote.
