Beauty and the Bodyguard

"But remember, you must leave in secret only before House Xiao, House Yu, and Zhao Qibing comes! Be quick! As soon as they catch you at your place, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave even if you want to!" Old Master Chu warned.

"I understand, father!" Chu Pengzhan nodded, "Lil' Yi should've left already, I'll go back and pack some things. I'll leave with Yaoyao tonight!"

...

House Chu's mansion.

Lin Yi didn't have too much luggage. He only had a small bag with a few sets of clothes Miss gifted him, the Wannianchun wooden box he bought from the auction, and the two remains of the map which he still didn't know the use of…

For the past two days, Lin Yi tried to avoid meeting Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu as much as possible. He was human and he wasn't emotionless like plants. Lin Yi had feelings towards Miss and Shu! He could almost say that they were similar to Tang Yun.

After living with them, Lin Yi grew to like these two girls. One of them looked cold on the outside but she was warm on the inside, the other looked like an idiot but she was smart.

Despite that Lin Yi didn't want to face it, it was finally the day for him to leave!

Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu sat on the couch in the living and watched silently and sadly while Lin Yi packed his belongings.

"Yaoyao sis, is Shield bro really leaving?" Chen Yushu's eyes were red. This time, she didn't sound energetic like usual but spoke rather gloomily.

"Yes, he's leaving!" Chu Mengyao nodded.

"So there is… Today really is the day…" Chen Yushu sighed.

"Yes, it's real…" Chu Mengyao nodded again.

"Yaoyao sis, I want to leave with him," Chen Yushu suddenly said.

"Nonsense, how can you leave with him?" Chu Mengyao smiled as she shook her head, "We are taking our university entry exams soon, are you going to skip it? Are you quitting school?"

"Yes," Chen Yushu nodded.

"Let's go and see if Lin Yi needs any help," Chu Mengyao stood up and walked towards Lin Yi's bedroom.

Once, Chu Mengyao hated this bedroom and she avoided places where Lin Yi was. This feeling changed without her knowing. She was used to Lin Yi's existence. She was used to this room. It was Lin Yi's room!

Chu Mengyao treated Lin Yi as part of the mansion and she was used to the small happiness she felt when Lin Yi was around…

"Lin Yi, do you need our help?" Chu Mengyao walked and stared at the back of Lin Yi.

"Ha…" Lin Yi smiled, "It's fine. I don't have any luggage, just a few clothes you gifted me, I packed those…"

Chu Mengyao felt a lump in her throat and almost burst into years. Lin Yi was leaving yet he didn't forget to pack the clothes she gave him, making Chu Mengyao feel touched…

"Will you remember Shu and me?" Chu Mengyao asked.

"Of course I will…" Lin Yi nodded, "This memory is beautiful to me and I will cherish it for the rest of my life."

"Me… Me too!" Chu Mengyao encouraged herself and whispered.

"And me!" Chen Yushu said, "Shield bro, you can't forget me!"

"I won't forget about you even if I forgot about Yaoyao," Lin Yi laughed.

"Humph!" Miss heard Lin Yi's words and didn't know whether she should laugh or cry.

"Alright, I should go now," Lin Yi took his luggage and turned around towards the room.

However, Miss and Chen Yushu stood at the door without moving away.

"All good things must come to an end, right?" Lin Yi smiled, "My duty is over. Stay on guard when the new bodyguard is here. It's actually easy for me to sneak upstairs. Be careful, he might try to steal Miss!"

"You are so annoying!" Chu Mengyao blushed and glared at him and thought; then why didn't you come up? However, she couldn't say that aloud… It wasn't a joke, how could she laugh when Lin Yi was leaving them?

"Haha, take care of yourself. You can trust General Weiwu, he's strong and it can take care of ordinary enemies!" Lin Yi nodded towards Miss.

"Okay…" Chu Mengyao knew that what he said was all true. She couldn't stop him from leaving by blocking the door, she dragged Shu to the side but sorrow filled her heart.

Lin Yi lifted his backpack and walked out of his room. He reached the door but stopped…

He was sad too. It was the mission he hated to leave and it was the mission he failed the most!

"Shield bro!" Chen Yushu suddenly called out.

"Yes?" Lin Yi turned around and looked at her, "What's wrong, Shu?"

"Will you come back after you regain your powers? Will you come back to the mansion?" Chen Yushu asked.

"If I regain my powers and breakthrough to a higher level, I'll come back!" Lin Yi nodded.

However, Lin Yi knew that it was difficult to achieve, but he made the promise to comfort Chen Yushu. External style kungfu was different from internal style kungfu. As soon as external style masters reached a certain level, they would reach a difficult breakthrough point, and it was a hundred times harder than the breakthrough point of an internal style master!

If he wanted to practice external style and surpass his previous level, he had to reach the middle stage of the mystic division!

"Okay!" Chen Yushu nodded, "It's a promise! If you surpass your previous level, you have to stay in the mansion with Yaoyao sis and me together!"

"Promise!" Lin Yi smiled and nodded.

"Pinky swear!" Chen Yushu rushed over and showed her pinky.

"Okay!" Lin Yi hooked onto her pinky with his without a choice…

"By this pinky swear, you can't change your idea for a hundred years, whoever changes will become General Weiwu!" Chen Yushu said.

Lin Yi nodded. He should go!

Goodbye Songshan, goodbye mansion… Goodbye, his familiars!

"Woof woof…" General Weiwu seemed to detect the sad atmosphere and it barked at Lin Yi unwillingly.

"General Weiwu, protect Yaoyao and Shu!" Lin Yi was confident in this smart golden division dog. It was extremely smart and it could probably understand his conversation with the girls!

Otherwise, it wouldn't react so violently when he left the house before!

"Woof woof!" General Weiwu sprinted to Lin Yi and leaped up into Lin Yi's arms!

"Okay fine, a hug. Bye, General Weiwu…" But when he was halfway through his sentence, he paused and his expressions became strange abruptly. Lin Yi widened his mouth his shock, unable to speak!
