Beauty and the Bodyguard

She gave Lin Yi a look as she spoke, and Shangguan LAN 'er left mysteriously, leaving behind a confused Lin Yi and the familiar-looking Curly Bear.

"Disciple Lin Yi greets Pavilion master Shangguan." Lin Yi greeted Shangguan Tianhua with a disciple's salute. He was a disciple of the GreenCloud Pavilion, but the other party was the pavilion master of the rising Sky Pavilion. The three pavilions of the North Island were one entity, and everyone had to greet Shangguan Tianhua with a disciple's salute.

"You've made a lot of progress after your trip to the South continent. Not bad. " Shangguan Tianhua looked at him and nodded slightly, saying,""Come and take a look at my calligraphy. What do you think?"

"Yes." Lin Yi was a little surprised by Shangguan Tianhua's friendly attitude, and even a little flattered. However, he had seen a lot in the South continent this time, so he didn't lose his composure.

No matter how powerful Shangguan Tianhua was, he couldn't be stronger than the five-poison Dragon and the giant electric eel, both of which were at the sea Rift stage. Besides, he didn't have any hostility towards Lin Yi, and Lin Yi was only acting so reserved because he respected him, not because he was afraid.

Lin Yi walked to the desk and was attracted to it at first glance. Shangguan Tianhua was writing the same ancient tablet. The content was already extremely profound, and every word and stroke contained Shangguan Tianhua's artistic conception. There was an ancient desolation in the air, making people lose their minds.

Normal people might just find it amazing, but to someone like Lin Yi who had reached a certain level and had a strong ability to comprehend, this was an extremely exquisite inheritance. If they could study it for a long time, they might be able to learn some extremely exquisite martial arts from it.

"I've long heard that Pavilion master Shangguan's calligraphy is unparalleled in the world. It's really an eye-opener to see it today. " Lin Yi said, impressed.

"Hehe, it's rare for you to know how to compliment someone." Shangguan Tianhua smiled.

"No, I'm telling you the truth," Lin Yi said, shaking his head. He respected Shangguan Tianhua, but he didn't like to flatter others-not even the closest elder he had ever met. It was his nature.

"Alright, since you're speaking the truth, as your elder, I have to show my appreciation. How about this, you can pick any calligraphy piece in this study and take it away." Shangguan Tianhua said with a smile.

Lin Yi's eyes brightened-the words were like the person himself, and from a certain perspective, being able to understand Shangguan Tianhua's words meant that he had a chance to learn from him. Of course, the prerequisite was that he had to be talented enough to understand the essence of the words.

Although Lin Yi had the five elements killing intent as a powerful trump card, it didn't mean that he would lose out on it. Besides, the five elements killing intent came from the five poison Dragon. It was fine to use it to kill enemies, but it was impossible to use it to improve his mental state. A human learning the mental state of a beast was simply asking for death. On the other hand, if he could learn something from Shangguan Tianhua, it would benefit him greatly in this aspect.

One's state of mind and one's strength were equally important, especially at the level of the nascent Soul Stage and above. The way of cultivation was gradually from the outside to the inside, and the improvement of one's state of mind was especially important. Shangguan Tianhua was obviously an expert in this area.

"I don't dare to decline the elder's bestowment, so I will respectfully accept it." Since the guy had asked, Lin Yi wasn't going to be polite with him. He pointed at the half-completed tablet on the table."Then this one."

"You have good taste ..." Shangguan Tianhua could not help but laugh."This painting won't do. You're giving it to someone else, and it's not finished yet. Forget it, let Xiao LAN 'er pick one for you before you leave. She's an expert in this field."

"Yes, thank you, Pavilion master Shangguan." Lin Yi nodded, thinking that it was the right decision to come here. Shangguan Tianhua's calligraphy couldn't be bought outside no matter how many spirit jades he had, and the fact that he offered to give him one meant that he really didn't see Lin Yi as an outsider.

Lin Yi was right-because of Shangguan LAN 'er, and because of his unprecedented talent, Shangguan Tianhua did want to take him in as a disciple, but he didn't do it in the end. He followed Gongyang Jie's model, which was the most suitable way to train people like Lin Yi.

They weren't master and disciple in name, but they weren't in reality either. In Shangguan Tianhua's eyes, Lin Yi's status wasn't any lower than a personal disciple 's. Giving him these words was just a reminder-as for how much Lin Yi could benefit from it, that was his own business.

As the two spoke, Shangguan LAN 'er had already prepared the spiritual tea. Shangguan Tianhua brought Lin Yi to the tea room he had specially designed, and the two sat opposite each other, while Shangguan LAN' er and the little Curly Bear each took a seat beside them.

"Yup, Zhenzhen, good tea!" Lin Yi only sniffed at it, and before he could even take a sip, all the pores on his body opened up. It was like he'd just been baptized by nature, and he felt great.

It wasn't like Lin Yi hadn't had good tea before-in fact, ever since he didn't lack spirit jades, he'd always kept all sorts of high quality spirit tea in his Jade space, mainly for entertaining friends. Most of them were quite expensive, even tens of thousands of spirit jades for a tael. However, compared to the spirit tea in his cup right now, his so-called high quality spirit tea was like rice stalks!

In the common world, there was a saying that one sip of the bejeweled nectar could prolong one's life-Lin Yi had never heard of it before. After all, it was a myth made up by people, but he couldn't help but believe it now. There really was something as amazing as this in the world!

"This is called showing off, but she's grandpa's precious baby. You can't drink this anywhere else." Shangguan LAN 'er chuckled as she looked at Lin Yi's intoxicated face.

Shangguan Tianhua smiled, not saying anything. Being in the spotlight was a rare enjoyment for Lin Yi, and it was the same for him as well. Every time he drank tea, his mind would become extremely clear. It wasn't as clear as the state of enlightenment, but it was more or less interesting.

Lin Yi took a sip and closed his eyes for a while before speaking slowly,"The essence of this tea is truly rare. The deep taste may not be fully understood even after tasting it for a year and a half. It is indeed a rare and good tea."

"Oh? You're also involved in the Way of Tea?" Shangguan Tianhua's eyes lit up.

"I can't say I dabbled in it. I don't know how to brew tea, nor do I know how to taste tea. At most, I'm just wolfing down the food and wasting it." Lin Yi laughed at himself-he'd learned how to make tea before, but that was the tea of the common world-it wasn't the same thing as the spiritual tea on Tianjie Island. (To be continued.)
