Beauty and the Bodyguard

"En, I hope you have the strength!" Ning Shangling nodded and turned to leave. Ning Xuefei looked at Lin Yi deeply before following her mother.

Lin Yi rubbed his head, confused. What did he mean by "strong"? For some reason, he felt that ning Xuefei's eyes were a little strange. He didn't know what the mother-daughter pair was trying to say.

Ning Shangling and ning Xuefei left, but Shangguan LAN 'er and han Jingjing stayed behind. They'd rather stay by Lin Yi's side than follow ning Shangling around toasting.

"Don't you two think that Feifei's expression is a little strange?" Lin Yi couldn't help but ask. Shangguan LAN 'er and han Jingjing had been with ning Xuefei the whole time, so they should know something.

"Strange? I didn 't!" The two women's reactions were the same. After being stunned for a moment, han Jingjing said thoughtfully,""But to be honest, I think Feifei really has something on her mind, but she just doesn't want to tell us ..."

"She's always been like this. She looks so carefree, but if something really happens, she'll shoulder it all by herself. She'll never take the initiative to tell us. I'm already used to it," Shangguan LAN 'er shook her head helplessly.

Heartless? Lin Yi couldn't help but look at Shangguan LAN 'er. It seemed more appropriate to say that to her. Although ning Xuefei's status wasn't that far from hers, their situations were completely different.

Shangguan LAN 'er was the Apple of Shangguan Tianhua's eye. She had never felt any pressure since she was young, and she had never said that she wanted to take over the rising Sky Pavilion. Moreover, it was difficult for a woman to do so on the North Island, so she was so carefree.

However, ning Xuefei was different. Although her personality was similar to Shangguan LAN 'er' s, she was the future successor of the West Island. It would be a lie to say that she did not feel any pressure. No matter how tolerant ning Shangling was to her, she would never slack off in her all-round training. The princess of the West Island who was raised in such an environment must have a strong perseverance in her bones. Otherwise, how could she shoulder the entire West Island in the future?

After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere was completely on the right track. The Masters from all walks of life who were a little restrained at first were obviously walking around more frequently. Ning Xuefei's birthday party was just a pretext. The key reason why these big shots came to the West Island from thousands of miles away was to build a relationship.

In this situation, not only did they have a chance to build a good relationship with the West Island, but they also had a chance to get in touch with the big shots of the other sky rank islands! Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for so many important figures to gather in one place. It was especially impossible to see the top elders of the spirit beast clan.

When the atmosphere was high, ning Shangling, who had returned to the main seat, suddenly stood up again. The crowd consciously quieted down in an instant. This was not only a courtesy to the host, but also a respect for the Lord of the West Island. Even the unruly and heaven-defying spirit beast elder, Azure Dragon, was looking at ning Shangling tactfully, waiting for the other party to speak.

"Friends from the five islands, I would like to thank you again on behalf of the West Island. I would like to take advantage of this rare opportunity to announce something important." Ning Shangling's gaze slowly swept across the audience, and when she saw that everyone was looking forward to it, she continued to announce,"As everyone knows, today is not only my daughter's 18th birthday but also her coming of age ceremony. According to the rules of the Western Island, I have to choose a husband for her."

Lin Yi's group had never heard of this rule before, but some of them were prepared for it-it was clearly a tradition on the Western Island.

Lin Yi didn't know why, but he felt a little down. Strictly speaking, his relationship with ning Xuefei was only that of good friends, and it was far from the relationship between a man and a woman. However, when he suddenly heard that ning Xuefei was getting married, the feeling of emptiness in his heart was real.

Lin Yi shook his head. It was only a matter of time before ning Xuefei got married. After all, she was the heir of the island, and her husband was directly related to the stability of the entire Island. This kind of thing had to be on the agenda early, but he didn't expect it to happen so suddenly.

At this time, han Jingjing seemed to understand Lin Yi's thoughts. She suddenly held Lin Yi's hand tightly and blinked her big watery eyes,""Lin Yi bro, Jingjing and Feifei are best friends, we don't want to be separated."

"Yes, me too." Shangguan LAN 'er also blurted out, but then she suddenly blushed and felt that something was wrong, so she quickly added,""I ... What I mean is that we're going back to the North Island. We don't have many chances to meet each other. If Feifei gets married, it'll be even less. But as long as she marries our Junior Brother, there won't be a problem. Then, even if she's the princess of the West Island, she can come to the North Island often to play with us!"

"I ..." Lin Yi was speechless. Shangguan LAN 'er was even more straightforward than han Jingjing. She just wanted more chances to be together, so she urged him to go after ning Xuefei. The logic of these two girls was so simple and straightforward that it was cute!

However, they were too naive. Ning Xuefei was the princess of the West Island and was destined to take over the entire West Island in the future. Even if he really had such an idea, it would not be an easy thing.

No matter how much ning Shangling loved ning Xuefei, she had to first consider the interests of the entire West Island! Without a doubt, this was not ning Xuefei's time to pursue happiness. It was purely a marriage alliance. To become the husband of the West Island Princess, one must either have a matching status or have absolute power.

As far as Lin Yi was concerned, he was only at the peak of the early nascent Soul Stage, and his status was only that of the inner hall manager, second senior!

Although such conditions were beyond the reach of most ordinary cultivators, it would be extremely difficult to climb the social ladder of the princess of the West Island with these conditions.

Suddenly, Lin Yi understood what ning Shangling said to him. It could be seen as a wish, and it was to let Lin Yi face his current strength and status!

Lin Yi was shaking his head when ning Shangling's next words lifted everyone's spirits,"If you want to be the husband of the princess of the West Island, you must have the most potential and strength. This is the biggest and only requirement."

Everyone held their breath as they waited for ning Shangling's next announcement. Everyone wanted to know what kind of threshold this so-called potential and strength was! (To be continued.)
