Beauty and the Bodyguard

With his and Zhaoming's strength, it would be hard enough to deal with Lin Yi alone, not to mention the other strong competitors. This needed to be planned and prepared.

While lingchong and Zhaoming were busy planning, everyone else was getting ready for the trials as well. Lin Yi was the only one who went back to his room and started practitioning.

However, Lin Yi only meditated for less than an hour this time. He couldn't help but think of ning Xuefei's bitter yet hopeful expression-he really wasn't in the mood to cultivate.

He'd already made up his mind at the banquet that he'd join the test, but he was still hesitating now. It was too sudden, and his relationship with ning Xuefei wasn't at the stage where they could just get married.

If he really succeeded this time, what would happen to his other female friends? Was it fair to them? what would they think if they knew?

However, Lin Yi couldn't just leave ning Xuefei alone. He couldn't help but feel heartache when he thought about the girl's expression at the party.

Just as he was hesitating, the door was pushed open. Lin Yi looked up and saw Shangguan LAN 'er and Han Jing Jing. Why were they out in the middle of the night instead of resting in the palace?

"What are you two doing here? why aren't you sleeping?" Lin Yi looked at the two girls curiously before adding, "Where's Feifei? why isn't she here?"

Lin Yi felt that the only way to solve this difficult situation was to talk to ning Xuefei face to face. At least, he had to understand her feelings. What if the so-called hints were just a misunderstanding?

This was related to ning Xuefei's marriage, and he couldn't afford to be careless. Lin Yi felt that even if he wanted to help her solve this problem, the leader had to be ning Xuefei herself. Only when she said what she wanted could Lin Yi fulfill it for her without any other thoughts. Otherwise, everything was just a guess. He couldn't be sure.

"She can't come." Shangguan LAN 'er shrugged her shoulders helplessly. One was marked by one's proximity to Vermillion and ink, and she had learned some of Lin Yi's habitual small movements to the point of perfection.

"Can't come?" Lin Yi blinked, a little nervous."Why? Could something have happened?"

"Lin Yi bro, don't worry. Feifei is fine. She can't come with us because of the rules of the Western Island. As long as she's an eighteen-year-old noble lady, she has to stay in her room and wait to choose her husband. She can't just go out and do anything. She's the princess of the Western Island, and there are many eyes on her." Han Jing Jing explained.

"So that's how it is. That is to say, before her husband is confirmed, it's equivalent to her losing her personal freedom?" Lin Yi couldn't help but feel sad for ning Xuefei. Being the princess of the West Island was her fortune, but it was also her misfortune.

It'd only been a few days since he'd arrived on the Western Island, but he'd noticed something interesting-feminist ideas were prevalent here, but the higher one went, the less obvious it became. The way they did things was more like a patriarchal society, even surpassing it to some extent.

Take marriage as an example. In a normal feminist society, the woman should have the absolute initiative. It was more appropriate to let the man stay in the boudoir. However, in reality, this was true for the ordinary class of the Western Island. However, at the level of the aristocrats, the woman, on the other hand, did not want to leave the house.

Lin Yi guessed that the main reason the island was doing this was to connect with the outside world. After all, it was very likely that noble ladies would marry into the forces of the outer island, and if even they followed the feminist doctrine, it wouldn't only bring no benefits to the Western Island, it might even bring a disaster.

"Yes, but it's not a big deal for Feifei if she can't leave the island master's Palace. She's a little otaku girl like Jing Jing, and she's in the research room now." Shangguan LAN 'er said, using the common vocabulary so easily that it was even smoother than Lin Yi' s.

"That's true, but I'm afraid she's not feeling too good. After all, she can only leave her marriage to fate." Lin Yi sighed, and couldn't help but fall silent.

"Lin Yi bro, if you don't get chosen, then I'll be sad for the rest of my life. You can't fail!" Han Jing Jing said as she looked at Lin Yi.

"That's right, that's right. Feifei would rather die than marry someone who is blinded by greed. Little Junior Brother, you can only win this time. We all have high hopes for you!" Shangguan LAN 'er encouraged.

"Ugh, that's just our wishful thinking. Feifei might not think that way ..." Lin Yi smiled bitterly. He didn't know what ning Xuefei was thinking, and that was the most troublesome thing.

"Who said that!" Han Jing Jing suddenly took out a letter and handed it to Lin Yi."Lin Yi bro, Feifei asked me to give this to you."

Lin Yi blinked and opened the letter-there wasn't much on it, only a line of delicate handwriting, six words to be exact. See, or never see again.

It looked like a stream of consciousness prose at first glance, confusing people and confusing them. They had no idea what she was trying to express, but this wasn't a problem for Lin Yi. He used to be a top student in the secular world, and old Lin had taught him all kinds of knowledge since he was young. There was even a time when he took a laptop to learn poems and ancient texts, euphemistically saying that it would improve the self-cultivation of an assassin ...

Lin Yi understood what ning Xuefei was trying to say after a while. She seemed reserved, but she was being very direct.

They would either always be able to see each other, or they would never see each other again. In the future, they would go their separate ways and never cross paths again.

The answer was self-evident as to how to keep seeing each other. If they couldn't do this, once ning Xuefei married someone else, the birthday banquet would be their last farewell.

Lin Yi froze as he looked at the delicate handwriting on the thin piece of paper. He never thought that ning Xuefei was such a strong woman. She would either be with him forever or be separated from him. There was no room for compromise between them.

It seemed like a choice, but there was no choice at all. Lin Yi couldn't just leave her like this. Ning Xuefei's declaration was full of determination, expressing her feelings to Lin Yi.
