Beauty and the Bodyguard

Leng Leng suddenly stopped and sighed softly,"Farewell, Lin Yi."

Lin Yi had entrusted Lingshan and the others to her, and she'd done everything she could. Even if she couldn't guarantee everyone's safety, she had a clear conscience and could die in peace.

Just as Leng Leng closed her eyes and waited for her death, a figure suddenly appeared beside her. Soon after, a familiar icy cold aura materialized and soared into the sky. It actually blocked Xue Jianfeng's one sword plunging into the nine Heavens. Although it had only been less than half an instant, it was enough for him to save Leng Leng from danger.

"Merciless ICE FORCE?!" Xue Jianfeng's eyelids twitched when he saw this. This familiar cold aura was actually the emotionless ICE FORCE. This person's identity was obvious-it was Bing Wuqing!

"It's you?" Xue Jianfeng wasn't the only one who was shocked. Even Leng Leng, who had just been saved, was so shocked that she couldn't speak after seeing the person's appearance. Why would Bing Wuqing save her for no reason?

Lin Yi had never told anyone about the fact that Bing Wuqing and the others had been subdued by him in secret. Only two people knew about it-himself and Lin Dongfang.

Coold was unaware of the inside story, so she was as shocked as snow Jianfeng.

"Let's go,"he said. Bing Wuqing didn't have the intention to explain the whole story at all, and immediately signaled for Leng Leng to escape first. Although Leng Leng was in a very weak state right now, Lin Yi had given her a large number of medicinal pills to heal her injuries, and she would recover in a short time. As long as she was careful, she should be able to protect herself.

"Many thanks." Leng Leng knew that it wasn't the time to be naggy. She thanked Bing Wuqing and turned around to leave. Not only did she have to heal her wounds, but she also had to meet up with song Lingshan and the others before they got too far away. As for why Bing Wuqing had saved her, she could only find out later.

Watching Leng Leng escape, Xue Jianfeng panicked. He wanted to strike again, but the merciless ICE FORCE had already enveloped him. His heart thumped, and he didn't dare to act rashly. Instead, he looked at Bing Wuqing with fear.

"What's wrong? You're helping them?" Xue Jianfeng looked at Bing Wuqing again with an unfriendly expression. Bing Wuqing should be Lin Yi's enemy, and she was in central with him. What was this guy trying to do by saving Leng Leng?

"I'm happy. " Bing Wuqing said indifferently, her face expressionless.

"Hmph, this is a task given to me by the higher-ups, and you actually dare to make things difficult for me. Where did you get such big guts?" Xue Jianfeng snorted coldly. In the past, due to his lack of strength, he still had to show some respect to Bing Wuqing. But now, there was no need for that.

"Oh, really? That's your mission, it has nothing to do with me. My orders are not to mess with Lin Yi, that's all. " Bing Wuqing said nonchalantly.

"You ..." Xue Jianfeng couldn't help but choke. He didn't have enough confidence because it was a strict order from the central headquarters not to mess with Lin Yi. It was his own decision to ask the professor to deal with Lin Yi's people. He could do it secretly, but he couldn't say it out loud. Otherwise, it would be disobeying orders. Not even the professor would have the guts to do it, let alone him.

"Then let me ask you, you were clearly only in the late-stage of the Aurous core stage before. How did your strength suddenly become that of the perfected Aurous core stage? you actually hid your strength?" Xue Jianfeng said with a frown. Just now, Bing Wuqing had blocked his ninth heaven plummeting sword strike with only the materialized heartless ice power. Even though it had only been for half a second, it was enough to prove that this fellow's strength was at least the same as his, and that she was already an expert at the perfected gold core realm.

It should be known that the heartless ice power was just an aura, and not an offensive or defensive move in the strict sense. The fact that Bing Wuqing was able to achieve this with the help of the heartless ice power was shocking to everyone.

Even Xue Jianfeng had to admit that although they were at the same level, if they were to fight, the other party's chances of winning were obviously higher than his.

"Same to you. Aren't you the same?" Bing Wuqing glanced at him, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a mocking smile.""Do you think that you can be above me just because you've ditched me and secretly fawned over the peak?"

"You actually know?" Xue Jianfeng was even more shocked. The doctor in glasses had clearly told him that the central headquarters 'key training program was strictly confidential and would never be revealed to anyone. How did this guy know?

"Could you really have done this without anyone knowing?" Bing Wuqing glanced at him from the corner of her eyes.

"Did you also join the intensive training program?" Xue Jianfeng was more and more bewildered. He thought carefully about how the bespectacled doctor had obviously valued Bing Wuqing more before he took the initiative to court her. It was not impossible for him to add her to the key training program.

Bing Wuqing didn't seem to be smiling, neither admitting nor denying it. In Xue Jianfeng's eyes, Bing Wuqing seemed even more mysterious. Of course, he didn't need to reveal his relationship with Lin Yi. He could just let this guy be.

As expected, the more Xue Jianfeng thought about it, the more he was convinced. Bing Wuqing's rapid advancement from the late-stage to the perfected gold core realm was only the last month before he went to the Central’s intensive training program. Although it was not as exaggerated as his, as far as he knew, only the central was capable of advancing two levels in a short period of one month.

As for why Bing Wuqing did not advance six levels in a row like he did, and instead stopped at the great circle of the Golden core stage, it was not difficult to find the reason. When he had participated in the intensive training, he had been told that with the current technology in the center of the secular world, they could only quickly advance to the great circle of the Golden core stage, and that was the limit. As for the nascent Soul Stage, that technology was still in the experimental stage, far from being mature enough to be put into practice.

With Bing Wuqing's interference, it was no longer realistic for Xue Jianfeng to chase after Leng Leng and the others. Not to mention whether he could find them again in a short time, even if he did, it would be useless. Although Bing Wuqing didn't talk much, her actions just now had clearly shown his attitude. If Xue Jianfeng dared to touch Leng Leng and the others, he would attack Xue Jianfeng.

Faced with Bing Wuqing, who had accumulated power over the years, and the unfathomable power he had just displayed, Xue Jianfeng really didn't have much confidence to fight her head on. There was no benefit in winning, but if he lost, he would be rebuffed. Wouldn't that be a waste of effort?

"Why are you protecting Leng Leng so much?" Xue Jianfeng asked in a deep voice.

"I’ve already said that I’m happy. " Bing Wuqing was still expressionless, and no one could tell what she was thinking.

"You!" Xue Jianfeng was so angry that he almost died. It was fine that this guy jumped out to ruin his plan, but he didn't even give a basic explanation. Which side was this guy on?
