Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Ah? If he's that powerful, then his future is limitless!"

Lin Yi only glanced at the names on the ranking after hearing the People's discussions. He shook his head-it had nothing to do with him, and he wasn't interested in it anyway.

He turned to the mission Board and started looking for missions related to that mountain-only then would he be able to get the map and information from the Guild.

After looking through all the mission boards, Lin Yi finally found a mission that fit the requirements."All rich and powerful families know who will issue the mission. The mission location is called Caitian Wu mountain and the surrounding mountain ranges. We are looking to purchase 100 bitter fruit and 100 stalks of Phoenix-browed heartless grass ..."

This amount of herbs was a big task in the Foundation Stage mission area. It would be hard for someone else to take it on alone, but Lin Yi had Skybolt pig. As long as he went to the right place, it would just take a little more time to collect all the herbs.

However, just as Lin Yi was about to accept it, he saw the Guild staff put a tick on the board.

Lin Yi's face darkened as he cursed at his bad luck for losing a mission that was hard to come by. He turned around and continued his search.

At this moment, he suddenly heard someone say,""Captain, Junior Brother li kubao is not here today. He was called to do a temporary task at the GreenCloud Pavilion. We are now short of a person, should we find another person to join?"

The one she called the team leader was a masked woman. She nodded in agreement and said, "That's good too. We can't just rely on the three of us to collect so many spiritual herbs from hucai tianwu mountain."

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat as he walked over to them and muttered to himself, "It's already so late, why hasn't old Xiao come yet? I can't take on any task alone. I've come here in vain. This guy is really unreliable ..."

As expected, the men's gazes landed on Lin Yi after exchanging a glance. There was a sense of scrutiny in their eyes, and they all nodded in relief after seeing that Lin Yi had a rough face and was a typical martial artist.

The masked woman walked up to Lin Yi and said,""Brother, I just happened to hear your words. Do you also want to go on a mission?"

Lin Yi saw that she took the bait and was overjoyed. He quickly nodded,""Yes, I've originally discussed with my companions to come together, but this guy often gets into trouble. It seems that I can't come this time. I'm having a headache."

"That's such a coincidence. Our team just received a mission to collect spiritual herbs at Mount tianwu. We're short of a member. Would you like to join us?" The masked woman immediately extended an olive branch.

"Join your team?" Lin Yi pretended to hesitate before answering, "That's good. I'm bored anyway. That's what I'm thinking!"

From his observations earlier, Lin Yi noticed that many people in this Hall were doing missions in groups, just like this small team in front of him. The leader was the leader, and the others were the support, working together.

In comparison, although there were trial-takers who did missions alone, there were not many of them. After all, high returns meant high risks. The difficulty of the bounty missions issued by the large Chambers of Commerce were not low. It was impossible for one person to complete them. At most, they could only do some small missions that were not up to standard.

If they were to receive a mission in the form of a team, the contribution points after the mission was completed would belong to the team leader. As for the reward obtained, it would be distributed separately. The distribution method was different for each team, with some being more and some being less.

For those weaker trial-takers, joining a small team was far more reliable than doing small missions alone. At the very least, in terms of returns, it was far above the latter.

The masked woman was happy to hear Lin Yi agree so quickly, "That's great. Let me introduce myself. My name is Huang xiaotao, the leader of this trial team. I'm currently in the late stage of the foundation building realm."

After a pause, Huang xiaotao immediately introduced the two people beside her,""These two are Junior Apprentice-brother Chen dingzi and Junior Apprentice-brother Cong Zhima. They are both mid-stage Foundation establishment cultivators. The three of us are disciples of the GreenCloud Pavilion."

So, we're all from the same sect? Lin Yi nodded to himself, but put on a brave front as he cupped his hands."My name is Ling Yi, I'm a non-affiliate, please take care of me!"

Under normal circumstances, everyone would reveal their strength when they were cooperating, because this was the basic foundation of cooperation. However, Lin Yi didn't say it, so Huang xiaotao and the others didn't care too much. They thought that Lin Yi's strength wasn't high and couldn't compare to the three of them, so they were too embarrassed to say it.

But even if Lin Yi didn't say anything, they could at least confirm one thing-this Ling Yi they just met was a Foundation Stage practitioner, no doubt about it. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to become a member if he didn't pass the test.

It wasn't a dangerous mission like fighting a powerful spirit beast, after all-it was just collecting herbs. As long as they had the ability to protect themselves, it shouldn't be a problem. Even if they weren't strong, it wasn't a bad idea to be a backpacker. Lin Yi's addition to the team would be of great help to them.

The three of them chatted with Lin Yi for a while and didn't stay in the Guild for long. They left the Guild under Huang xiaotao's lead and prepared to set off.

With the map in his hand, Lin Yi estimated the location and found that Mount hucai tianwu was a few thousand miles away. He asked,"Captain Xiao Tao, that hucai tianwu mountain is so far away. How are the four of us going to get there? It'll take a long time to walk there, right?"

The three of them smiled at each other and did not answer. Huang xiaotao walked to an open space and whistled to the sky. A moment later, an aerial spirit beast whizzed down and landed in front of the four of them.

Lin Yi couldn't help but be a little surprised. The bird in front of him was a large Spirit Bird with beautiful tail feathers. It was gentle and fast, making it the best choice for a flying spirit beast. If he sold it, he was afraid he could sell it for a sky-high price. This Huang Xiao Tao's family was not low!

Even people like the southern Heaven Gate did not have their own flying spirit beast. Yet, Huang Xiao Tao, a mere disciple of the GreenCloud Pavilion, had one. It was clear that it was not without reason that Chen Muming and the others were willing to follow her.

Of course, another possibility could not be ruled out. That was, Huang xiaotao had gritted her teeth and spent a lot of money to buy this large spiritual bird for the convenience of completing the bounty mission.

Huang xiaotao explained with a smile when she saw Lin Yi's surprise,"Brother Ling Yi, you don't have to be so suspicious. This spiritual bird was tamed by me during the trial when I was still a newbie in the welcoming new pavilion. It has been following me since then." (To be continued.)
