Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Eh? Isn't this the little shop assistant of the Hong Chamber of Commerce? How did you get beaten up like this?" Ning Xuefei was shocked and suspicious.

Because she wanted to buy the best elixirs from the Hong Chamber of Commerce, she had a deep impression of Hong Zhong and Lin Yi, especially Lin Yi, who had just fought with Zheng Tianjie in the day and forced the idiot Zheng Tianjie to buy the ten-piece forging set with a base price of 10000 spiritual Jade. That ridiculous look of being scammed made ning Xuefei almost go crazy.

In ning Xuefei's eyes, an idiot like Zheng Tianjie wasn't a good person, but Lin Yi was a smart worker at the Hong Chamber of Commerce, so he obviously wasn't a bad person.

"Could it be that someone was preparing to Rob the Hong Chamber of Commerce's Supreme-grade medicinal pills, so they wanted to coerce this shop assistant into committing the crime? but this shop assistant refused to comply and escaped with his life on the line?" Ning Xuefei's thoughts were wild. She wanted to go to the Hong Chamber of Commerce to buy elixirs, but she thought that others would think the same way. So, in the blink of an eye, she had already imagined a shocking heroic scene.

From the beginning to the end, she had not associated it with the loud noise just now. She thought that it was just an ordinary earthquake on the northernmost Island. She never thought that it was actually a movement caused by a man-made disaster.

Just as ning Xuefei was fantasizing, there was a sudden knock on the door, followed by the voice of the northern Battlefront Wei,""The people inside, open the door! We are from the North Garrison. We suspect that an assassin has sneaked in!"

"Hey, I'm taking a bath! What are you guys trying to do?" Ning Xuefei shouted unhappily.

"Uh ..." The person at the door hesitated, but he didn't seem to want to give up. However, another person's voice sounded,""Pockmarked, forget it. This is Nishijima-san's boudoir. You dare to investigate? do you want to die?"

"That's right. She's a Big Shot on the Western part of the island. Even steward song has to greet her with a smile. This room was specially prepared for miss ning. No one else can live in it. We can't afford to offend her. Besides, we can't be sure that there's an assassin in there. Maybe you were just seeing things ..." The other Northern Garrison guards also tried to persuade her.

Finally, the North Garrison guards gave up on the idea of searching the house. They apologized to ning Xuefei through the door and turned to go back to the scene.

Ning Xuefei let out a breath of relief as she heard the noise outside the door fade away. She looked down at Lin Yi in the tub and shook her head speechlessly,"I can't let this guy drown here, can I? how am I going to take a bath if he's here?

Ning Xuefei was taken aback. She was only halfway through the bath, but Lin Yi was a man after all. As a girl, she couldn't just sit in the same tub with a stranger as if nothing had happened.

After getting out of the tub, she quickly dried herself and put on her clothes. She turned around and looked at Lin Yi for a while before pulling him out of the tub.

After all, the water in the tub wasn't too deep, and it wasn't too shallow either. With Lin Yi's current condition, it wasn't impossible for him to drown if he was left there.

After dragging Lin Yi out, ning Xuefei didn't do anything else. She just squatted on the side, holding her head and studying Lin Yi.

After all, she was a girl, and a Missy who didn't know how to serve people. It was impossible for her to dry a stranger's body so that he wouldn't catch a cold. It was already a big favor that she didn't throw Lin Yi to the northern Wei.

At the same time, the elite Gathering Hall was in a complete mess. After they found out that it was Zheng Tianjie, the young master of the hall of alchemy, the entire elite Gathering Hall was surrounded by countless Northern Battlefront guards and was under emergency martial law.

Butler song and the top figures from the various islands were all present, but the others were stopped by the northern Garrison. Before Butler song and the others came to a clear and unified conclusion, all information must be strictly blocked. Otherwise, if it spread like wildfire and even spread to the middle Island, it would be out of control.

Putting aside the situation outside, Lin Yi, who was in ning Xuefei's room, only woke up after four hours of unconsciousness when he saw the sky was about to turn bright.

"What's your name?" Ning Xuefei, whose legs were numb from all the squatting, asked.

But Lin Yi didn't respond to her, closing his eyes and turning a deaf ear. He flipped up and sat down cross-legged, starting to chant.

He had almost fully recovered from his injuries in the Jade space, but he had not recovered his physical strength and true Qi!

"What? you're not even paying attention to me!" Ning Xuefei pouted, but she didn't say anything. She just squatted aside and watched.

Girls with nerves were usually more reasonable than most people, especially in this kind of abnormal situation. If it were someone else, they would've thrown Lin Yi to the northern Wei already. Why would they leave a suspicious stranger in their room?

In fact, Lin Yi didn't mean to ignore ning Xuefei. It was just that he was at a critical moment. Not only was he recovering his strength, but his Qi was also starting to expand. It was a sign of a breakthrough!

It hadn't been long since Lin Yi broke through to the mid-stage of Foundation-he hadn't taken any pills this time, and he was also heavily injured. Lin Yi never thought that he'd break through again so soon!

However, while this was unexpected, it made sense when he thought about it. For practitioners, every time they tried their best and got injured, they would be able to discover the potential in their body. It was a rare transformation, and it wasn't strange to use this opportunity to break through. Lin Yi himself had experienced it many times already.

Going from the peak of the early Foundation Stage to the mid Foundation Stage was an extremely difficult step to cross, but going from the mid Foundation Stage to the peak of the mid Foundation Stage was much easier. With Lin Yi's solid foundation, it was only natural for him to break through quickly.

Under ning Xuefei's gaze, Lin Yi circulated his Qi again and again, looking for a chance to break through.

After a long time, Lin Yi's aura suddenly increased by a huge amount, shocking many of the small decorations in the room. If it wasn't for ning Xuefei who saw the situation and quickly protected him, her precious little decorations would have been destroyed.

This state lasted for a while before Lin Yi finally retracted his aura, returning to his usual reserved state. However, the light that occasionally flashed in his eyes was obviously more pure and intimidating than before.

He had successfully broken through to the peak of the mid Foundation establishment stage! (To be continued.)
