Beauty and the Bodyguard

Looking at the beautiful scene in front of him, Lin Yi's heart calmed down completely. He felt a long-lost sense of security.

He'd been through so much in the South continent, and he'd been improving and cultivating, but Lin Yi could clearly feel that he'd been getting more and more impetuous. It wasn't hard to find the root cause-cultivation was about relaxation, and he'd never been completely relaxed in the year and a half he'd been in the South continent, especially after being hunted by the old sect of West Mountain.

Once one's nerves were stretched for too long, there would always be side effects. This was like a time bomb, and while it might not seem like much, it could cause someone to pay a heavy price at any time. Even with Lin Yi's personality, he could only suppress this impetuousness, but he couldn't completely eradicate it.

Originally, Lin Yi had planned to relax for a while after returning to the North Island, but the heavenly elixir Pavilion was in urgent need of elixirs, and he had to hurry and make elixirs. As soon as he finished, he was pulled over by Shangguan LAN 'er to be her master protector.

Lin Yi thought that he'd have to wait until he got back from the island before he could really rest and relax, but he didn't expect to see the sunrise today. That bit of impetuousness disappeared instantly, and it was an unexpected surprise.

Lin Yi glanced at Shangguan LAN 'er and the little Curly Bear beside him. The man and pet were completely immersed in the beautiful sunrise, and even their eyes seemed to melt. Lin Yi smiled slightly-enjoying the sunrise on the sea was indeed one of the greatest joys in life.

Lin Yi was about to enjoy himself a little more when he felt something very unnatural. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt like there was a pair of eyes staring at him from the dark, but he couldn't find the owner of the eyes.

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat as he silently sent out his spirit sense. His spirit sense was strong enough to cover the entire ship, but after three times, he realized something shocking-he couldn't lock on to this observer!

Lin Yi was so shocked that he lost the mood to watch sunrise!

In this diplomatic mission from the West Island, only three elders from the three pavilions were sent out as a symbolic gesture. There weren't any other outstanding Masters, and there were only a handful of people who could completely avoid Lin Yi's divine sense's detection. Someone who could do this couldn't be someone like Xu lingchong, right?

He might be a nascent Soul Master, but if he used his spirit sense to spy on Lin Yi, Lin Yi could drag him out and beat him up in a matter of minutes. They were only at the same level, but they were on completely different levels.

"Don't bother, they are Gongyang Jie and LAN Tiefu. " The ghastly thing suddenly spoke.

"What? Two people?" Lin Yi was shocked. He could guess that this person was one of them, but he didn't expect both of them to be staring at him at the same time. He just barely noticed one of them with his intuition. His powerful spirit sense was useless in front of the two.

"Yes, there are two." The demonic thing said with certainty.

"Then which one did I sense? LAN Tiefu?" Lin Yi guessed. He thought that LAN Tiefu was weaker than Gongyang Jie, so he must be the one he sensed. Even so, he wasn't simple. This big senior brother was able to hide from Lin Yi's senses completely.

"No, the one you noticed was Gongyang Jie. LAN Tiefu's strength is even more unfathomable. He's even stronger than Gongyang Jie!" The ghastly thing's tone was also a little strange.

"Stronger than Gongyang Jie? How is this possible?" Lin Yi was stunned. Gongyang Jie was Shangguan Tianhua's chosen super genius, the number one of the new generation in the North Island. How could LAN Tiefu be stronger than him? Wouldn't that be undeserving of its name?

"I also think it's a little strange, but this is the truth. It seems that the three pavilions of the North Island are not as simple as they are said to be. They really are full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers." The ghost sighed. Even in his eyes, Gongyang Jie was a super genius that only appeared once in a hundred years. Now, LAN Tiefu, who was even more powerful than Gongyang Jie, had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The strength of such a powerful man was no small matter.

Lin Yi was speechless. He didn't think that Shangguan Tianhua's henchman would be this strong, even Gongyang Jie was suppressed by him!

It was clear that the title of the eldest senior brother of the inner sect of the rising Sky Pavilion wasn't given to him for nothing. Although Jia mufan wasn't simple, he was still far from the unfathomable LAN Tiefu.

Just this point alone was enough to show the huge gap between the two. The foundation of the two was on a completely different level. The reason why the rising Sky Pavilion could always dominate the situation of the North Island was purely because of their strength. The GreenCloud Pavilion could not compare with them.

"What's LAN Tiefu's strength?" Lin Yi couldn't help but ask curiously. He was the second Shixiong of the inner sect, after all. In terms of position, they were both on the same level, and Lin Yi really wanted to know the difference between them.

"There's no point in you knowing. It's better not to say it. " The ghost kept him in suspense.

Lin Yi was taken aback again, his heart palpitating. The meaning of this damn thing's words was clear-he wasn't even on the same level as LAN Tiefu, and he'd probably scare him if he told him LAN Tiefu's true strength!

He had thought that even if the other party was strong, it would not be too outrageous. At most, he would be at the xuansheng stage. One should know that the xuansheng stage was already considered a pillar among the higher-ups of the three great pavilions. If a senior brother who was in charge of the inner sect of the rising Sky Pavilion was stronger than this, then the higher-ups would not be able to survive.

However, the demonic thing's attitude was clearly telling him that LAN Tiefu's strength was definitely not just at the mysterious Ascension stage. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to keep him in suspense.

"Then, is he as strong as you at your peak?" Lin Yi asked carefully. He was really scared this time, and his evaluation of LAN Tiefu jumped all the way to the early stage. Was this guy an earth formation master? Or was it the sea splitting stage, which was one level above?

Before this, Lin Yi would've scoffed if someone said that the Sky Tower's inner sect big brother could reach the mountain opening stage or above. But now that he'd experienced it himself, his perception of the entire North Island changed. The North Island wasn't as weak as people said-they were just hiding their true strength, just that not many people knew about it.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? If he's stronger than me, how can I sense him so easily?" The ghastly thing said speechlessly.

"Oh ..." Lin Yi let out a breath of relief. If this thing said that the opponent was stronger than him, then he'd be in for a real shock today! (To be continued.)
