Beauty and the Bodyguard

The value wasn't high, so the guard wasn't too strict. For people like Kang Zhaoming who had connections, getting a few seeds was a piece of cake. It would be great if they could use it to get rid of Lin Yi.

"Follow the previous spirit herb test. 40 spirit herb seeds in one group. Copy it and give me five groups." Lin Yi said.

This was something Lin Yi had already thought of. If he wanted the heart-devouring exquisite grass, other than asking Hong Zhong and Chen heihu to help him buy it, the other way was to get the seeds from the spirit medicine nursery. Unfortunately, he wasn't a member of the pill Hall, and he didn't have any reliable connections there. It was obviously impossible to rely on himself.

On the other hand, Kang Zhaoming had been doing very well in the pill Hall under Xu lingchong's care. It was said that he had even reserved a spot in the hall of pills in advance. As soon as the welcoming new pavilion was over, he could join the hall of pills immediately. It was a great opportunity to get the idea from him.

However, Lin Yi couldn't just ask for the heart-devouring exquisite grass "seeds. To keep it a secret, he asked for all forty of them, just like last time. He could use them as a reserve for future spirit herbs anyway, so it wouldn't be a waste to ask for more.

" 40 seeds for a set and you want five sets? have you gone crazy thinking about the spiritual herb seeds? Do you think that the pill Hall is opened by my family and you can take things as you please?" Zhaoming said, jumping up and down.

It was true that he had his ways of getting the seeds, but Lin Yi wanted five sets-that was two hundred seeds! It'd be a big problem if someone found out!

Zhaoming wasn't an internal member of the pill Hall, after all-even if someone were to take care of him out of respect for lingchong, they wouldn't put themselves in danger just to help him out.

Lin Yi knew that wasn't realistic, but a trade was all about paying back what you've been bidding for,"Fine, then I'll reluctantly take a step back. Four groups."

"Impossible!" Kang Zhaoming rejected again. It seemed like Lin Yi was taking a step back, but four sets still had 160 pills. It wasn't a small amount and the risk wasn't small.

Lin Yi's face turned cold as he extended his hand to send them off."Since that's the case, there's nothing to talk about. Take care, I won't see you out."

"Hold on, three groups, at most three groups, it can't be more than this!" Kang Zhaoming quickly replied.

In fact, even if there were one hundred and twenty seeds in the third group, he still had to take the risk. However, the initiative was in Lin Yi's hands, and he had no choice.

Not to mention, he had his master, Xu lingchong, backing him up. Xu lingchong didn't come here to clean up his mess. If he didn't agree to Lin Yi's conditions and delayed Xu lingchong's business, it wouldn't make sense.

"Three groups?" "Then I'll still take the cave. Four groups is my bottom line, or no more talking!" Lin Yi said after a moment of silence.

"You ..." Zhaoming was about to get angry when lingchong interrupted him impatiently."Alright, I'll give you four sets. Don't mention this again!"

"No problem! However, I'll say the ugly words first, send it to me before sunset tomorrow. If it's half an hour or any one of them is missing, this agreement will not count, and at that time, you will have no business in cave number one on the mountaintop, understand?" Lin Yi said.

"It's a deal," Zhaoming had to bite the bullet and agree. Time was tight, but with lingchong here, things were much easier!

With Xu lingchong's face, he didn't even need to take any risks. He could get back the important cave number one from Lin Yi. To Kang Zhaoming, this deal was already very worthwhile. There was no need to drag it out any longer. If Lin Yi changed his mind, he would be done for.

"Then I'll be waiting for great Deacon Kang's good news." Lin Yi smiled faintly. Four sets of seeds meant four heart-devouring exquisite grass seeds-it was already a rare surprise.

At this moment, Xu lingchong finally spoke,"Since you're done, I'll tell you why I'm here. Lin Yi, I heard you saved Junior Sister LAN 'er once in the back mountain?"

"Hehe, where did young master Xu get this information from?" Lin Yi blinked.

Immediately, Lin Yi shot a meaningful glance at Murong Zhen, who was watching from a distance. He knew that this incident must have come from this woman's mouth, and she must have changed her appearance. Otherwise, with Xu lingchong's position, there was no way she would let go of this evil woman who wanted to kill Shangguan LAN 'er. She would have slapped her to death long ago.

Xu lingchong pretended to be profound and smiled smugly."In a small place like the three great pavilions, it is naturally as easy as flipping my hand if I want to find out anything. From your performance, this matter should be true?"

"So what?" Lin Yi asked.

Although he had the intention to help Shangguan LAN 'er get rid of the threat, Murong Zhen, he had never intended to use Xu lingchong's hand. After all, he still did not know what Shangguan LAN' er was going to say about the incident at Half Moon Lake. If he said something wrong and someone caught on to it, it would not be good.

"By right, a low-level newcomer like you is not qualified to have anything to do with Junior Sister LAN 'er, who is a high and mighty little princess. However, Junior Sister LAN' er is a person who values friendship. Because of this matter, she feels that she owes you a favor. Of course, she also helped you last time in the law enforcement Hall, so it should be considered even." Xu lingchong said in a condescending tone.

"That's all thanks to young master Xu. It seems that this favor will fall on young master Xu's head in the future." Lin Yi narrowed his eyes.

Xu lingchong, however, turned a deaf ear to this and continued,"Lin Yi, remember this-LAN 'er is a high and mighty little princess, not someone you can touch. If you want to live a good life, then stay as far away from her as possible. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Lin Yi smiled mysteriously and looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot,"Young master Xu didn't come all the way here just to tell me this, did he?"

"Of course not. In order to cut off your pitiful and humble fantasy, so that you won't continue to harass Junior Sister LAN 'er with the small favor from the back mountain, I've decided to make an exception and send you an invitation letter." Lingchong gave Zhaoming a look, and the latter handed an invitation to Lin Yi.

"On the eighth of next month, is it Shangguan LAN 'er's birthday party?" Lin Yi glanced at it and squinted his eyes. (To be continued.)
