Beauty and the Bodyguard

However, those were all thoughts from before. Things were different now that he had a huge handle on Lin Yi.

As long as he could confirm that this was true, then the situation wouldn't be him bowing down to Lin Yi anymore-it'd be the other way around!

Meng jueguang laughed coldly. If he used this well, no matter how strong Lin Yi was, he wouldn't be able to escape from him!

What made him even happier was the fact that Lin Yi could turn a useless Jade into a good one-he was like a hen that laid golden eggs! As long as he could control him, he'd be able to soar in the future!

According to Meng jueguang's speculation, the secret should be in the tenth spirit Jade Kuangqu! Back in the common world, Lin Yi didn't even know what spirit Jade was! After Lin Yi entered the tenth Kuangqu, he kept mining for good Jade. It seemed like there was something like a spiritual eye in the tenth mine, and as long as he put Jade in it, it would be filled up quickly!

This also explained why Lin Yi was able to find good Jade, but he and Meng Tong couldn 't! The Jade was not dug out, but rushed out!

Lin Yi, on the other hand, was drenched in cold sweat. Even with his personality, he couldn't help but feel scared.

Although his reaction just now had not revealed any flaws, his intuition told him that a cunning fox like Meng jueguang would not be so easily fooled.

He had to be prepared for the worst, and the only thing he needed to think about was what he'd do if Meng jueguang found out about his identity.

If that really happened, Lin Yi's situation would be extremely disadvantageous. Meng jueguang could use this to blackmail him, but Lin Yi wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

The opponent was first Shixiong, and might even be the third house master in the future. No matter how strong Lin Yi was, he had no chance of fighting him face to face. Unless he took the risk and found a chance to assassinate him, it wasn't impossible, but the risk was huge.

"Now that things have come to this, we can only take one step at a time." Lin Yi shook his head, thinking that he'd miscalculated. He couldn't be sure if Meng jueguang had found out or not, so he could only bide his time.

Today's trip to the market City had not been met by Yu Zhe and the others who had been deliberately trying to find him, but by Meng jueguang. This kind of thing couldn't be described as cheating, it was simply cheating eighteen generations of ancestors!

Lin Yi wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and suppressed his worries. He went to the Hong Chamber of Commerce as planned.

Lin Yi's sudden visit surprised even Hong Zhong, who was usually calm and collected.

Unlike Lin Yi, with Hong Zhong's position and level, plus the fact that he had close connections with many of the higher-ups of the three pavilions, even the slightest movement in the three pavilions couldn't escape his eyes and ears.

Perhaps in Lin Yi's knowledge, only Southern Heaven Gate and Yu Zhe were investigating Lin er's identity, but Hong Zhong knew that the leader of the three Nan brothers, Nan Tianba, had returned from his mission.

Even among the core disciples of the three pavilions, he was known to be someone not to be trifled with. Furthermore, he had the backing of the Nantian family of the central island. Many of the higher-ups in the three pavilions were rather tolerant of him.

Moreover, everyone knew about Nan Tianba's protectiveness. After he learned of Nan tianyong's death, he would definitely fly into a rage. Although he did not know why he did not cause any big movements for the time being, one thing was certain. This person would definitely not let go of the investigation of the enemy who killed his brother.

Facing the threat of such a strong enemy, nothing had happened to Lin er so far. Not only was he safe and sound, but he even dared to walk out of the city square in public. Such courage and ability made Hong Zhong dumbfounded.

What shocked Hong Zhong even more was that Lin er's strength had increased by another level in just two to three months. Lin Yi's mid-Foundation Stage could fool others, but not Hong Zhong.

With Hong Zhong's unfathomable strength and vision, no one could hide their cultivation level from him unless they were at the same level as him. Lin Yi was no exception.

This Lin er looked young. The last time they met, he could clearly feel that he had advanced not long ago. However, he did not expect that from the peak of the early stage to the middle stage of the foundation building realm, a threshold that ordinary people might not be able to cross in a hundred years, he had actually done it in just two or three months. Even Hong Zhong, who had seen countless people, had never seen or heard of such a thing.

"Young hero Lin, long time no see, how have you been!" Hong Zhong secretly suppressed the surprise in his heart and took the initiative to stand up and welcome him.

"Manager Hong, how have you been?" Lin Yi smiled and cupped his hands in greeting."One doesn't come to the temple without a reason. I have come today to ask for a favor. I hope shopkeeper Hong can help me."

"No problem, no problem. Young hero Lin, just say what you need. I will do my best." Hong Zhong immediately said.

He'd been through a lot, and his eyes were sharp. Lin Yi was now a potential player in Hong Zhong's eyes, someone who'd make a name for himself in the future. He'd be too short-sighted if he were to be so calculative-doing Lin Yi a favor now was something he couldn't ask for more.

Lin Yi was overjoyed. He immediately repeated what he said to Chen heihu to Hong Zhong.

After hearing this, Hong Zhong immediately called the manager of the shop, er ti Ming, and gave him some instructions. It was just a small matter for him to purchase rare spiritual herbs like the heart-devouring exquisite grass, and someone would do it for him.

Doing Lin Yi a favor for something so simple was a huge profit, even from a business perspective!

"Then many thanks, manager Hong." Lin Yi said gratefully. This way, he finally had some confidence in getting the heart-devouring exquisite grass.

With a giant like the Hong Chamber of Commerce and a wild and powerful person like Chen heihu, if he still couldn't get the heart-devouring exquisite grass, then it'd be God's will. Lin Yi had no fate with the heart-devouring exquisite grass.

"You're too kind, young hero Lin. " Hong Zhong smiled, reminding Lin Yi before he left."The eldest of the three Nan brothers, Nan Tianba, has returned. This man is no ordinary person. He seems to have encountered some trouble recently, so he hasn't made any moves. However, don't underestimate him."

"Thank you for your reminder, manager Hong." Lin Yi blinked-he'd never heard of what happened with Nan Tianba, and Hong Zhong's reminder came at the right time. (To be continued.)
