Beauty and the Bodyguard

Lin Yi looked at her faintly, "I'm just teaching you a lesson. Although I'll spare your life this time, if you try to play any tricks in the future, I advise you to consider your own weight first. If I want to kill you, it'll be as easy as blowing off dust!"

"You!" Murong Zhen was furious, but when he thought of the other party's strength, he could only swallow his anger and say,""Alright, I've learned."

She had wanted to use this opportunity to pretend to be remorseful-with Shangguan LAN 'er's naive personality, she might have a chance to get closer to her and make a move on her in the future, but after Lin Yi's slap, she gave up on that idea.

Shangguan LAN 'er was childish and laughable, but Lin Yi wasn't the same. If she continued to play tricks here, she might really be killed by Lin Yi with one palm.

Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh as he watched Murong Zhen run away. He turned to Shangguan LAN 'er and said,"This woman has the heart of a snake or Scorpion. I really don't know if what I did today was right or wrong. You have to be careful in the future."

"Yes, I know." Shangguan LAN 'er nodded obediently, but then she suddenly reacted and said,""I'm your little Senior Sister, if even you know about it, how can I not know? Little Junior Brother, what do you mean by that? are you looking down on me?"

"Ah? I dare not, I dare not!" Lin Yi blushed at the sudden change in attitude.

"That's more like it ... Ouch!" Shangguan LAN 'er raised her fist proudly, but because she pulled on the wound on her shoulder, she was in so much pain that she even cried.

As she had been so focused on Murong Zhen earlier, she did not think much of the wound on her shoulder. However, now that she looked at it, not only was the wound ghastly, the sharp pain that came from it was enough to make her scalp tingle.

Shangguan LAN 'er was not an ordinary young lady. She was at the peak of the early Foundation establishment stage, so a normal injury was nothing to her. However, her wound was left by Murong Zhen's Phantom finger. After hitting her shoulder, not only did it grind her flesh, but there was also a sharp Barb on her finger, which was extremely vicious.

Even a master at the peak of the early stage of the foundation building stage might not be able to bear this kind of terrible pain, let alone a pampered young lady like Shangguan LAN 'er.

Lin Yi's eyes twitched as he quickly went up to check on her injuries. The wound was so deep that the bones could be seen. Fortunately, there were no signs of poisoning.

"Let's go. We'll find a hidden place. I'll help you heal. " Lin Yi picked up the dizzy little Curly Bear and left with Shangguan LAN 'er.

After all, this place was not far from Half Moon Lake. If he stayed here for too long, he couldn't guarantee that the terrifying existence that even the ghostly thing was afraid of would not suddenly attack him. Even if its body couldn't move, if it was a Vine Whip or a puppet, it might be able to attack him here.

After finding a hole in the tree, Lin Yi started to heal Shangguan LAN 'er. With the art of Dragon mastery, healing her shoulder injury was a piece of cake.

However, the process was still excruciatingly painful. In order to prevent the Miss from crying out in pain and attracting unnecessary trouble, Lin Yi had to find a topic to divert her attention.

"Little Senior Sister, I'm sure you understand the principle of uprooting the root of the problem. Why did you let Murong Zhen go when you had such a good opportunity?" Lin Yi asked.

Lin Yi wasn't just trying to divert his attention-he was curious, after all.

For a young lady like Shangguan LAN 'er who had never seen blood before, it was reasonable that she would not dare to kill anyone. However, in such a situation, Murong Zhen had repaid her kindness with ingratitude and knew the consequences of letting her go. She did not even need to do it herself. Any normal person would not be soft-hearted.

"Eh? She's called Murong Zhen. Little Junior Brother, do you know her?" Shangguan LAN 'er was so surprised that she even forgot about the pain in her shoulder.

"She's a new disciple of the GreenCloud Pavilion. Before that, she seemed to be a relative of one of the elders of the skyward Pavilion. " Lin Yi explained.

Shangguan LAN 'er was stunned. After a long while, she finally reacted,""I know why she wanted to kill me. She's the woman I met at the Huayang residence! But I've only met her once, so I don't think there's any enmity between us. I didn't even talk back to her when she scolded me for being uncultured!"

So that was how it was! Lin Yi understood now-the reason why Murong Zhen had been sent as a new member of the GreenCloud Pavilion was probably because he'd offended Shangguan LAN 'er. After all, even if Shangguan LAN' er didn't mind, there would be others who'd do it for her.

Otherwise, no matter how vicious Murong zhenxin was, she wouldn't have returned her kindness with enmity to the point where she had to kill this lady.

"A woman like her probably hates you even more because you don't take her seriously. In the end, it's all because of jealousy. This time, you're kind enough to let her off, but she'll probably get even worse. She'll definitely find more opportunities to lay her hands on you in the future." Lin Yi shook his head.

From his point of view, no matter how he looked at it, Shangguan LAN 'er's decision was playing with fire, and she might get herself into trouble at any time.

"Yes, but I still don't want to kill her. Not only her, but I don't want any other person, spirit beast, or all living things to die because of me." Shangguan LAN 'er paused, her eyes clear,""Because I want to be merciful."

"Great mercy?" Lin Yi froze-this was the first time he'd heard of something like this, and it didn't sound like a normal training method.

"Grandpa said that as long as one is merciful, they can change their fate. Therefore, great wishes will definitely come true. I must be merciful." Shangguan LAN 'er said in a serious tone.

"Then, what is your Grand wish?" Lin Yi asked curiously.

"Of course!" Shangguan LAN 'er smiled,"I want my father to come back safe and sound!"

"Your father? What's wrong with him?" Lin Yi was surprised.

He had been here for a long time, and he was already familiar with big shots like the pavilion master of the rising Sky Pavilion, Shangguan Tianhua. However, Shangguan LAN 'er's father, who was Shangguan Tianhua's only son, had never heard of such a person, as if he did not exist at all.

By right, with Shangguan Tianhua's backing, no matter how bad one's cultivation talent was, one should be able to do well and not have no sense of existence in the three pavilions.

"I heard from my grandfather that my father went on a very mysterious mission with some other people. He's been gone for a few years, and there's been no news of him until now." Shangguan LAN 'er said dejectedly. (To be continued.) "If you like this work, you're welcome to come to Qidian.com to give your recommendation and monthly vote.
