Beauty and the Bodyguard

"I'm sure everyone here has heard that the most important trial of our West Island is about to begin. This is a rare opportunity, so I plan to let the winner of this trial become my daughter's future husband." Ning Shangling's unhurried words were like a sudden clap of thunder that stunned everyone. Their eyes lit up, and no one spoke for a long time.

"The trial in the West Island? What the hell is that?" Lin Yi, on the other hand, was taken aback. He didn't know what was going on-everyone else knew about the island, but he'd never heard of it before. He was with ning Xuefei and the others, but they were all focused on the autocasting mechanism and never mentioned this.

Now that he thought about it, ning Xuefei probably didn't say it on purpose. She always acted carefree in front of Lin Yi and the others, and her acting was good too. Lin Yi and the others didn't notice the heavy weight in her heart.

Lin Yi didn't know why, but he shrugged as he looked at everyone's excited faces. Could it be that this test was so famous that even these people who weren't even locals were excited?

He'd been quite familiar with the tests back in the common world-he'd had to take part in this and that from time to time, but it'd been a lot less since he came to Sky Class Island. He'd only been taking part in the newbies "tests for a year or so, and he didn't think he'd be able to come out all of a sudden, in this sort of way.

"Lin Yi bro, the triennial test of the West Island is very famous in the five islands of the Sky Class," Han Jing Jing whispered in Lin Yi's ear as she saw how confused he was.

"Is there anything special about it?" Lin Yi asked curiously. A test wasn't strange, but if it was one that shook the five Sky Class islands, then it would be interesting. Plus, this involved ning Xuefei's marriage.

"I'm not sure what's so special about him ..." Han Jingjing stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.

In the past two years on the Western Island, she had never left the island master's Palace. To be precise, she rarely left the research room. She did not know much about the outside world and had never participated in any trials!

Moreover, she had never had the chance to encounter this once-in-three-years trial before. It was her first time too. She had only heard a few words from ning Xuefei before.

"I know this!" Shangguan LAN 'er, who was standing beside han Jingjing, knew better than she did. She came over and explained,""Grandpa once mentioned that the trial on the West Island was one of the most valuable trials on the five Sky Class islands. It's very rare."

"Oh?" Lin Yi blinked. Shangguan Tianhua's knowledge and experience were definitely at the top of the Sky Class Island. If even he placed so much importance on the test, then there must be something special about it.

"The trial rules themselves are nothing special. The rarest thing about the West Island trial is its trial location." Shangguan LAN 'er tilted her head and tried to recall, then continued to say to the two,""It's said that there's an adventurous sea near the West Island. It's the remains of a battlefield left behind from ancient times. Because it's surrounded by sea Fog and restrictions, it's impossible to enter or even find it. It can only be opened every three years at a specific opportunity. "

"Ancient battlefield?" Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat as he felt an ancient and tragic aura coming towards him. He couldn't help but tremble, but at the same time, he couldn't help but be excited! It was said that in ancient times, geniuses were born in great numbers. In that case, the battlefield ruins that buried countless ancient heroic spirits must be extraordinary.

"Yes, yes, I heard from my grandfather that it's a very, very dangerous place. However, there are indeed countless treasures inside! If they were lucky, it was not impossible for them to obtain the inheritance of an ancient powerhouse! Basically, as long as a disciple can survive and complete the trial, they will have a new body and progress. That's why the West Island trial is so famous. In fact, our North Island also has a similar trial, but the level requirement is higher!" Shangguan LAN 'er said.

"I see. There's actually a chance to obtain the inheritance of an ancient powerhouse? It does sound like an impressive trial. " Lin Yi nodded, deep in thought.

"This ancient battlefield ruin is a strategic existence for the entire West Island. In the past, it was only opened to the core disciples of the West Island. Outsiders rarely had the opportunity to participate. But from what aunt ning said, I'm afraid it's a little different this time ..." Shangguan LAN 'er said.

"En, no wonder everyone is so excited." Lin Yi looked around and saw the excitement on everyone's faces. The ancient battlefield ruins were such a crucial resource, and because of ning Xuefei, ning Shangling was ready to open it up to the public for the first time.

As expected of the master of an Island. Other people would at most set up an arena in the joust for a spouse event, but in ning Shangling's hands, she immediately took out an ancient battlefield ruin. This kind of spirit and style was truly no small matter.

However, if she wanted to choose the most promising and powerful young generation as she had said, she really needed such an excellent battlefield. Otherwise, if it was just a simple battle in the ring, at most, she would only be able to see the current strength, but not the potential in the future. The person selected in that way would naturally not be worthy of the dignified Princess of the West Island.

Lin Yi's eyes finally fell on ning Xuefei. The girl was always pure and optimistic, but now her face was unusually pale.

Ever since he met ning Xuefei on the northernmost Island, this was the first time Lin Yi saw this expression on her face. Helpless, hesitating, and pitiful. It made his heart ache.

To ning Xuefei, the so-called West Island trial was no doubt a joust for a spouse. Most girls would not be happy with such a thing. Ning Xuefei wanted to resist, but she could not do it.

She was the princess of the West Island and was born with Supreme status and power. At the same time, she had to pay a corresponding price. Marriage was just one of the most insignificant things. This was no exception in the West Island where women's rights were prevalent.

Lin Yi suddenly remembered what ning Xuefei said to the woman who barged in and tried to frame him at the banquet a few days ago. He thought it was strange at that time, but now he thought about it. It was probably a hint, or rather, an obvious hint. Why didn't Lin Yi choose her?

And when ning Shangling brought her over for a toast, ning Xuefei's eyes were clearly telling him the same thing. Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat as he thought about it, as if someone had tugged at his heartstrings. (To be continued.)
