Beauty and the Bodyguard

“What! What did you say? Lin Yi is driving? Heading out with Mengyao and Yushu?! Cihua almost smashed his own phone to the ground.

“Yea, what’s wrong with that?” Yuzhou was just a small fry; he didn’t know about the details as he was only informed that Master Bing’s legs were broken by Lin Yi. That was all.

“Did you mistake him for another guy? Is the driver really Lin Yi?” Cihua asked in disbelief.

“Nope. I’ve even taken photos of them when they got out of the villa! Shall I send it to you later?” Yuzhou said firmly. He was puzzled by Cihua’s exaggerated response.

“Was he fine? Did he look different to you?” Cihua couldn’t give up as he threw more questions.

“Ya, he is driving right now. He should be fine, right?” Yuzhou replied.

“Send me the photo then!” Cihua furrowed his eyebrows. That was absurd; he should be laying on the bed, half dead according to Uncle Zhu and Yaowang. How could he still go out with Mengyao and Yushu out, and even be the one driving?!

“Okay, should I continue pursuing them?” Yuzhou asked.

“No, leave them alone.” Cihua wasn’t interested in what they were doing. He only wanted to learn how Lin Yi’s condition was.

“Oh, sure.” Yuzhou replied.

Yuzhou sent the photo to Cihua and informed the driver about the plan.

When Lin Yi was about to get rid of them at the next turn, he found out that the car behind was gone!

Lin Yi shook his head. Since they had stopped following him, he was too lazy to bother them as well. After all, Cihua couldn’t do anything much against him too.

Cihua received the photos after he ended the call. Yuzhou was right. Lin Yi was heading out of the villa with the Misses and he was the one driving.

A few photos at the back weren’t actually necessary because those were taken when Yuzhou was tailing them. The pictures only showed the brand of the car and the direction they were heading to.

Cihua quickly rushed into the floating cloud bar and got into the room. Qibing was playing with his phone while Yaowang and Uncle Zhu were discussing something softly.

“Master Bing, Uncle Zhu and Mr. Yao, I’ve got big news!” Cihua panted.

“Big news? What news?” Master Bing put down his phone; he was reading “Womanizer”, the E-book online just now and fantasizing himself as the main character.

“I think Lin Yi isn’t injured. According to my follower, he said that Lin Yi was going out with Mengyao and Yushu. He was even driving! He was just like a normal person.” Cihua said.

“Impossible!” Qibing didn’t say anything but Uncle Zhu started talking first. “We’ve faced each other and both of us were aware of the damage we’ve taken very well. How was he fine?”

“Uncle Zhu, I think that it was impossible as well, but let me show you the picture my follower took…..” Cihua smiled bitterly and handed the phone to Uncle Zhu.

While Uncle Zhu was flipping through the photos, Yaowang joined him.

“This…” Uncle Zhu’s eyes widened in disbelief as if he had just met a ghost. “This was taken just now? How is this possible? After receiving such an injury, let’s not talk about standing up. If I wasn’t given the special pill and treated by Yao bro, I don’t think I would be able to speak now…..how did this Lin Yi go out?”

Yaowang was also in disbelief. He couldn’t believe the fact that Lin Yi was still standing up. “Are you sure? Could it be that Lin Yi wasn’t injured at all? Could it be that he wasn’t just a mystic class? He was in a class higher than that?”

“This is beyond the bounds of possibility!” Uncle Zhu shook his head. “I’m sure that he’s a mystic class no doubt! I could feel his energy and strength with that palm. Besides, if he was in a class higher than mystic, he wouldn’t even care about my sacrifice. He could’ve done worse than that! Since he had chosen to retreat, it means that he wasn’t confident enough to beat me in his condition. Furthermore, I wouldn’t be here talking if he was that much stronger than me!”

“However, that Lin Yi indeed just left the villa uninjured. Can we stop talking about the impossibility? This has become a fact. This just happened!” Cihua asked helplessly: “Uncle Zhu, Mr. Yao, if Lin Yi was really injured, was it impossible for him to stand up?

“We can’t say that it was impossible…” Yaowang shook his head: “There’s a possibility. He has lost all his strength and reverted back to normal!”

“Lost all his strength?” Cihua flinched. He couldn’t understand Yaowang.

“Ya, he had lost all his strength!” Yaowang nodded and explained. “When a master gets badly injured and is close to dying, he has two options to stay alive. The first is to consume a large amount of a special pill to recover and of course. An expert master who excels in medicine must also heal him with pure qi because the pure qi from the natural world is too thin for self-recovery. If he doesn’t have the first option, he has to choose the second option which is losing all his strength from his body so he could at least stay alive!”

“Ah? Does it mean that when he tries to stay alive with the second option, he will lose his previous strength and be unable to recover it? Cihua asked in an astonished tone.

“Well, you can say that too!” Yaowang nodded.

“Could it be that Lin Yi has lost all his strength?” Cihua talked to himself. “Getting the special pills and having a master expert in medicine might have been too much for him. Thus, it seems like Lin Yi has abandoned his strength just to stay alive!”

“It’s not necessary to have the two conditions for the first option but when the two conditions are met, the injured master could recover in a shorter period of time. In other words, if he fulfills only one condition, then his recovery rate would be a lot slower.” Yaowang said with a wave of his hand.

“I don’t think Lin Yi could afford either condition, so he chose to lose his strength.” Cihua said.

“I don’t think that’s possible too…..” Yaowang frowned. “Brother Zhu, if you were Lin Yi, would you choose to lose your strength?”
