Beauty and the Bodyguard

The two circled the islands as they chatted, and Lin Yi didn't find any real threats. From what he understood, the biggest threat was the sea beasts, and he'd have to think twice if there were sea beasts here, just like the sky Class islands.

What surprised him, however, was that there were no traces of powerful sea beasts here. There were all kinds of sea creatures, many of which were carnivorous, but they weren't a threat to practitioners. After a round of investigation, Lin Yi was even more determined to make this place his base camp!

Lin Yi immediately called Lingshan and the others together after he went back and told them about his plan. Everyone was overjoyed-this wasn't just a new base camp for them, it was a new holiday resort!

"Boss, if that's the case, we can't just casually renovate this small wooden house. We have to do a proper design. I happen to know a few designer friends, so I'll go ask them for the design." Chentian said impatiently.

"Yeah, if a small wooden house by the sea can't meet the requirements, let's get a few sea-view villas so that everyone can live there." Lingshan and the others all nodded.

"Alright, I'm going out too. I'll go with you." Lin Yi nodded and went back to the common world with Chentian.

"Boss, what are you going to do?" Chentian couldn't help but ask.

"I'm going to the West Star Mountain village to see the old man. " Lin Yi smiled. He did talk to Lin Dongfang on the phone before, but it was a rare trip back to the common world. He had to meet them in person. Besides, they decided to build a base here, so he had to ask old man and aunt Qing to come and take a look.

"Oh, so you're going to see senior Lin." Wu Chengtian was filled with respect. He had only seen Lin Dongfang once when he saw He dan TOU and the iron cloak sect, but that was still a very deep impression. As a Sky Class full master, he still didn't understand Lin Dongfang's strength. He just felt that Lin Dongfang was unfathomable, just like Lin Yi.

Lin Yi couldn't help but chuckle at the look on the guy's face-this was what they meant by "distance makes beauty."He'd know what kind of person this guy was if he'd spent more time with old Lin, and he wouldn't be so respectful upon hearing his name.

"Oh right, do you know what er goudan's been up to recently?" Lin Yi asked casually.

"Er goudan?" Wu Chengtian froze for a moment before he realized that Lin Yi was talking about Zhou Jiaming. He scratched his head,"We haven't been in contact for a while. Last time, I think he said he was going out to do something, and then I couldn't find him. He doesn't use a cell phone, so it's hard to find him even if you call him."

"He's not in West Star Village?" Lin Yi blinked. He thought that er goudan was still in the village-he needed to drink the spring water to suppress the poison, after all, so he couldn't be away for too long. But this meant that he wasn't in the village?

"I don't know," Chentian shook his head. Goudan was his boss as well, but they didn't really talk much-other than calling to check up on him from time to time, they didn't really talk much, and he had no idea what he was up to.

"Did something happen?" Lin Yi frowned, but then he thought about how old Lin was personally overseeing the village, and how er goudan wasn't someone to mess with. The possibility of something happening was very low, but he'd find out once he went to the village.

After leaving Shennongjia, Lin Yi parted ways with Chentian and headed for the West Star Village. He couldn't help but feel emotional as he looked at the familiar village. In a flash, three years had passed. He had changed a lot, and the entire cultivation world had changed a lot. However, the West Star Mountain village still seemed to have not changed at all. It was still as calm as ever.

"Eh? Aren't you that person?" Suddenly, a country bumpkin's Mandarin was heard.

Lin Yi turned around to see widow Wang, who was munching on sunflower seeds at the window as she looked at him up and down. It took her a while to remember her name. "You're old Lin's Lil "Yi? Didn't you go to the city to work? you haven't been back for a few years, have you?"

"Aunt Wang, long time no see. How has the village been these few years?" Lin Yi greeted with a smile.

"What can a small mountain village like ours do? we haven't changed much in a hundred years, but you, Yi, have changed a lot! Tsk, tsk, look at what you're wearing. You're really different from those who have stayed in the big city, unlike the country bumpkins in our village!" Widow Wang praised as she munched on melon seeds.

"No, they're all cheap." Lin Yi chuckled.

"Hey, don't think that Auntie Wang has never seen the world. I can tell if it's a famous brand with one look." Widow Wang's face was filled with confidence. She then asked, "You're back to see your grandfather, right? Don't worry, he's fine. The village is a little chaotic these days, but your family doesn't raise chickens or ducks, so you can't afford any losses. "

"What happened to the village?" Lin Yi blinked.

"Eh? You still don't know?" Widow Wang, on the other hand, found it strange. She thought that Lin Yi had heard about the village's trouble and rushed back to see old Lin. She didn't expect Lin Yi to know nothing about it.

"I don't know," Lin Yi said, shaking his head.

"Come, come, come. There's nothing much to do anyway. Aunt Wang will tell you." Widow Wang was suddenly invigorated. Other than watching television, she would usually chat with others to relieve her boredom. However, it was boring to talk to those old faces. It was rare for her to have a new audience today, so she immediately said mysteriously,"You don't know, but it's not just our West Star Mountain village. Even the area around the West Star Mountain is not peaceful."

Lin Yi was going to go find old Lin, but since he was stopped by widow Wang, he decided to listen to what was going on. He walked over,"Why is the village not peaceful?"

"Haunted!" Widow Wang's words were shocking.

"Ha? Haunted?" Lin Yi jumped-Starwest village had always been peaceful, and there wasn't even a new face to be seen all year round. Why would it be haunted?

"Sigh, actually, we can't be sure that it's haunted. Maybe there are monsters." Widow Wang thought for a moment and changed her words.

"..." Lin Yi didn't know what to say. He knew that aunty Wang was just joking with him. There were ghosts and then monsters. Was there going to be a hairy-faced monk? (To be continued.)
