Beauty and the Bodyguard

"That's indeed not worth it. Rather than that, it's better to slowly nourish it back on your own. " Lin Yi nodded and left the city.

It was only after he climbed up the cliff and escaped that the ghastly thing completely released the vengeful spirit primordial spirit. It said meaningfully,""This is a good deed. Maybe it will be useful in the future."

"Ha?" Lin Yi couldn't help but ask,"You can only enter this place once, you won't have the chance to come again in the future. How can there be a place where you can use it?"

"Hehe, I've heard a rumor from the Thunder Dragon. I don't know if it's true or not. This Thunder plain Island is not as simple as it looks. We'll talk about it in the future if we have the chance. I'm going to go into closed-door cultivation and recuperate. Don't bother me if there's nothing." The ghostly thing said, keeping him in suspense.

"Alright," he said. Lin Yi shook his head helplessly and didn't continue to ask. He left in low spirits-he'd spent so much time trying to find the herb, and now he wasn't in the mood for it.

He smiled bitterly as he looked at his tattered clothes. He treated his injuries and changed into a clean set of clothes before starting to look for Xinyan and the others. They should be looking for mystical grass around the area, and they might've found something already if they were lucky.

However, before he could go far, he suddenly stopped. A moment later, he saw a familiar woman's figure in the distance, stumbling in his direction.

Lin Yi took a closer look and was shocked when he saw the person's figure. It was ni caiyue!

Although she was wearing a veil, it was easy to tell from her clothes and her figure and aura that this person was ni caiyue without a doubt. 'Didn't this chick leave? why did she come back?'

Ni caiyue had been rolling and crawling all the way here, and that flustered and embarrassed look had nothing to do with the third fairy. After seeing Lin Yi, the girl was overjoyed and quickly called out,"Save me, young hero, someone's trying to Rob me!"

"Huh?" Lin Yi was stunned. He saw a figure quickly approaching from behind ni caiyue. It was a fierce-looking Man in Black holding two scimitars, one long and one short. He looked weird and out of place.

Ni caiyue was staggering, but she was still an early stage mysterious Ascension master, after all. Her speed was extremely fast, and she was beside Lin Yi in a few breaths. She hid behind Lin Yi without saying anything.

At the same time, the Man in Black quickly caught up to them. He didn't even look at Lin Yi, but stared at ni caiyue with a ferocious expression,"Little girl, where's brother Chang? why isn't he back yet? And you're fine? Quickly let me search your body to see if there's anything you shouldn't have on you. Only then can you prove your innocence!"

The Man in Black said as he put away his scimitar and reached out to touch ni caiyue with a perverted look. He didn't take Lin Yi seriously at all, as if Lin Yi was just air in his eyes. Lin Yi didn't even have the right to ask or look at him.

Lin Yi had seen his fair share of arrogant geniuses, but it was rare to see someone as arrogant as him.

"Young hero, save me! Young hero, save me!" Ni caiyue cleverly dodged behind Lin Yi's back and decided not to run anymore, using Lin Yi as a shield.

"Where did this blind brat come from? get lost!" The Man in Black finally opened his mouth to curse. He flicked his wrist and his curved blade flashed, pressing the short blade in front of Lin Yi's chest with lightning speed, "I'll count to three, or I'll die. "

Lin Yi looked at the man in Black without saying anything. He didn't want to be a busybody. After all, he had only met ni caiyue once, and they weren't friends at all. He didn't want to be her shield for no reason. He wasn't a fool who couldn't move his legs when he saw a beautiful woman.

However, the opponent's scimitar was already at his chest, and it was unrealistic for him to stay out of it. Besides, ni caiyue was quite likable, and Lin Yi wasn't at the point of not helping her.

"Let's talk this out, what's going on?" Lin Yi said.

"Wow, you're quite arrogant. Who Do You Think You Are to talk to your Grandpa like that?" After the Man in Black was stunned for a moment, he immediately revealed a fierce look and said with a fiendish expression,""One! Two! Three!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Man in Black raised his sword and was about to slash at Lin Yi without hesitation, but ni caiyue, who was hiding behind him, suddenly came out and quickly stopped him, "Don't cut! Don't cut! This has nothing to do with him!"

Lin Yi was just about to cripple the man when he heard the words. It seemed that other than being a little silly, this girl was a little loyal. It was rare that she didn't completely sell him out at a time like this.

Seeing ni caiyue blocking in front of him, the Man in Black immediately put away his curved blade and sized up ni caiyue and Lin Yi with a surprised expression. He pinched his chin and sneered,"I was wondering why you, a shriveled girl, had to run here, so you're meeting lovers! Quickly tell me, did you two conspire to kill brother Chang?"

"Ah?" Ni caiyue was shocked and turned to look at the confused Lin Yi. She suddenly reacted and waved at the Man in Black,"No, no, no! It wasn't me! I didn't want to kill him ..."

"What did you just say?" The black-robed man's eyes turned sharp.

"Argh! "No... I'm saying that he shouldn't be dead yet ..." Ni caiyue's words were getting more and more outrageous, and she had actually slipped up before she could finish her sentence.

Lin Yi looked at this scene speechlessly, his forehead covered in cold sweat. He knew this girl's personality and intelligence, otherwise he would really think that she was trying to get him to hate her.

To be honest, Lin Yi was starting to admire ni caiyue's master from the bottom of his heart. Putting aside the fact that he had betrothed this girl to Chang laiting, that bastard, the fact that he could turn ni caiyue into a xuansheng master showed that this master was definitely a master. If it were any other person, they would've cried from ni caiyue's stupidity. There was no way he could've taught her to this extent.

He had misunderstood ni caiyue. Apart from being simple-minded, this chick mainly did not have much experience in the martial world, so she appeared to be stupid at crucial moments. There was no real problem with her intelligence. Moreover, if one were to talk about cultivation talent, ni caiyue was a first-class cultivation genius. Otherwise, she would not have been able to advance to the profound Ascension realm at such a young age.

"Eh? What did he mean by not dead? Little shriveled girl, tell me clearly, did you kill brother Chang?" The Man in Black was furious and was about to slash at him. (To be continued.)
