Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1456 – Lin Yi’s Goodbye

“I’m in an argument with my family right now, you know that too, don’t you? We’re not really talking with each other,” Jingyi shook her head, “Just what is going on?”

Lin Yi told her all about what happened between Chentian and him- and Jingyi only then did understand everything. Even so, she was nothing less than shocked, “You’re saying that Wu Chentian became crippled, and you used some special arts to heal him and turn him into a Mystic class spiritual-physical practitioner?”

Jingyi didn’t know what to say anymore- was she supposed to be shocked or jealous? Mystic class? Physical-spiritual practitioner, too, on top of that- this was one of the strongest power levels among the common houses’ elders, let alone the younger generation!

“Basically, that’s what happened,” Lin Yi said, “But don’t let anyone else know about this- not even your own family. We don’t want too many people aware of this.”

“I wouldn’t bother telling them,”Jingyi naturally wouldn’t go out of her way to tell her family about this, “But why are you this powerful? Lin Yi, just what are you? You’re not just some Great Thief, are you?”

“Great Thieves are really powerful, it’s just that you didn’t know that,” Lin Yi smiled.

“Then… Then can you raise my strength too?” Jingyi couldn’t help but ask- who could resist a temptation like this?

“What strength class are you now?” Lin Yi asked after a pause.

“The first stage… I don’t know what class or phase that is?” Jingyi couldn’t give a proper answer, either- she realized then that her strength level was ranked differently from other people’s.

“That’s… Your house’s practitioner’s arts is a bit too weird, but if you want to try it out, you can wait for me to come back. If something bad happens though don’t blame me, I have no experience in doing anything to practitioner’s arts like yours before…” Lin Yi said, thinking that he didn’t have much confidence when it came to this. Their arts were a bit unique, after all.

“Then I guess we’ll wait for you to come back…” Jingyi said, a little disappointed.

After finishing his talk with Jingyi, Lin Yi got ready to depart.

Giving a call to Old Lin, he made sure Goudan and Yuyuan were safe and settled before putting down the last of his worries.

“If Er Goudan was fine, letting him go with you would be a good choice- but it seems that he’ll need some time to heal for now,” Old Lin said, “He can’t be too far away from the fountain, after all, so it’s quite a bit of a limitation for Er Goudan.”

“That’s right!” Lin Yi sighed, “Unless he’s able to find some kind of medicine to break through into Sky class and let his Sky class energy deal with the poison in his body- that’s pretty much the only way.”

Lin Yi and Old Lin had been doing research on this matter regarding Er Goudan before, to no avail.

There were only two ways to make Goudan return to normal- the first was to find a type of elixir and give it to Old Lin to refine it into a different type of poison that would balance the already existing poison inside his body. Then Goudan wouldn’t need the fountain water after that.

The second way was for him to break into Sky class, and use the qi energy from being Sky class to replace the fountain water’s properties. This breakthrough, however, would have to be completed in one go- otherwise, the time he spent as Golden class, Mystic, or Earth would be useless- the poison would instantly suck out all his qi and drop Goudan’s strength level. Not only would he fail in removing the poison, it would all just be a waste of time, and he would still have to drink from the fountain.

In the present situation, both these two methods would not work. That elixir was said to have disappeared, and there were no replacements. Sky class, on the other hand, was an even more unlikely dream for Er Goudan. Even Lin Yi was yet to be Sky class, so how could Goudan get there in one go?

“But now, there’s some hope- since you’re able to continuously make people become the same strength level as you, then you could do that to Goudan in one go as well, strengthening him to Sky class. There wouldn’t be this limitation if that were to happen,” Old Lin naturally knew all about what Lin Yi could do- there was nothing Lin Yi hid from him after all.

“In theory it would work, but I wonder if it would actually happen. After all, I’ve only tried Golden class to Mystic for now- who knows if Mystic to Earth even worked?” Lin Yi said, worried.

“We’ll have to see what happens then. After all, as your strength increases, the harder it will get to break through,” Old Lin said.

After saying goodbye to Tang Yun, the Miss, and Shu, the mood felt a bit down. Everyone looked happy, but remembering that it would take at least a few months before Lin Yi came back made them less optimistic.

“Alright, cheer up- I’m going to look for a way to save Xaioxiao, it’s not like I’m leaving for good,” Lin Yi smiled to Tang Yun, “Come give me a goodbye kiss.”

“Jerk…” Tang Yun blushed and fidgeted- if she were alone with him, she would have done it after some pushing, but with the Miss and Shu here…

The three had passed their time of fighting and jealousy already, after all. They all knew about each other and there was no reason for those things at this point.

“Oh, I want it too, I want it! Come, Shield Bro, give me a kiss too!” Yushu raised her head bravely and stepped forward.

“Shu, what are you saying?” Mengyao was irritated and amused at the same time- this was a guy and his girl saying goodbye to each other, so what the hell was this Yushu doing, jumping into the mood like that?

Even Tang Yun couldn’t help but give out a snicker, “You should kiss Shu, then.”

Tang Yun no longer harbored any hate for Yushu the way she did before- they had already spent a lot of time together and she had gotten used to it. She had even accepted Xiaoxiao, so she didn’t really mind another Yushu. After all, she knew that there wasn’t anything between Lin Yi and her in the first place.

The two did have a bit of flirtatiousness going on between them, but they were definitely nowhere close to boyfriend and girlfriend. Mengyao, on the other hand, still hadn’t made up her mind, so Tang Yun couldn’t really bother thinking about that yet.

But, Yushu did butt in at the correct time- the atmosphere became all positive again.

“Ha… I’ll be going then, you guys work hard and study, get into a good college,” Lin Yi smiled.

Pengzhan would have obviously taken care of it anyway, but getting into college by your own skills gave a different feeling altogether.

Lin Yi drove the big jeep Feng Tianlong prepared for him- it had been altered and could fit an ice container. It was a bit of a troublesome process, but Tianlong considered that before and used a licence plate from the special forces department, as well as went through all the legal paperwork for the car. Lin Yi shouldn’t have any trouble getting to his destination.

After checking the car, Lin Yi got in and left- it was night-time when he drove away, so other than the Tang Yun who moved over to live with the girls, Lin Yi didn’t let anyone else say their final goodbyes.
