Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1325: Leveling Up Before Departing

But there was a limit to his own strength. Other people may not dare to fight him, but what if they target his family and friends? They’d incur his wrath and vengeance, but some people really were insane and didn’t care!

“Alright!” Yutian took a deep breath and said solemnly, “I’ll leave my gratitude to the heart!”

“Don’t talk about that useless stuff. You and I don’t need thanks.” Lin Yi scolded with a smile. “With more strength, you’ll be able to protect Shu- I can’t protect her my entire life, after all. It’ll be the brother’s job in the future!”

“But, Shu and you...” Yutian actually supported his sister being with Lin Yi- there was a Song Lingshan here, a Tang Yun there, and a Xiaoxiao waiting to be rescued there as well... But, he could see that his sister really did like Tang Yun from her heart. On the other side, he also was impressed by Lin Yi.

“Ha... Let’s not talk about that.” Lin Yi waved his hand, ending the topic, and putting both hands on his pulse. “Start channeling your practitioner’s arts- I’m going to start!”

“Alright!” Yutian nodded while Lin Yi closed his eyes, entering the jade space...

The next moment, he felt a big surge of qi entering his body! He’d heard Lingshan describe the process before, but he really was shocked! Was this the legendary transferring of skill?

This qi was so thick and full, Yutian had never met this before! Even if they were in some ancient forest or mountain, the qi there would still be half as dense as this! He didn’t dare waste any time- he started absorbing all the energy quickly...

Lingshan had already received Lin Yi’s qi before, and wasn’t surprised- she only sat by their side, guarding them against interruptions outside...

It was after midnight when Lin Yi stopped, and Chen Yutian, without a doubt, was now Golden Class late phase peak! What Lin Yi wasn’t surprised about, however, was that Yutian was at a bottleneck, stuck from advancing a step further.

“I... I’m really a late phase peak golden class now?” Yutian opened his palms in shock. “Is this real? In just that amount of time, I have this much strength... It’s like a dream!”

“I felt the same at first... ” Lingshan said as she looked at Lin Yi, who wasn’t affected at all. She smiled bitterly- just how strong was this person?

Even grandma giving her strength to her grandpa would require losing strength on her part- she couldn’t just raise someone from Golden class early phase too late phase peak in this short amount of time! How many levels did they just skip through, it was ridiculous!

“Well, that’s all we have for now. Whether or not you enter Mystic will depend on you.” Lin Yi said regrettably. “I’d have to become an Earth class first before I’ll be able to make you guys Mystics.”

“Make us...” Yutian’s eyes were wide open! He didn’t think that Lin Yi would become an Earth class one day, or that he’d become a Mystic one day! This... Wasn’t this too hard to accept?

But facts were facts, and facts didn’t stop for him. The proof was there. He was now Golden class late phase peak in just one night! Like a rocket, he shot up through all those levels!

“Alright, let’s get some rest- I’m tired too, we still have to travel tomorrow.” Lin Yi didn’t waste any time practitioning every night- if he weren’t able to find the fruit, then at least he could reach Sky class and maintain Xiaoxiao’s life!

Getting the fruit was way easier, but he needed a backup. Plus, he believed that he’d reach Sky class one day for sure!

Lingshan and Yutian agreed- it was late as well, although they were in her office! How were they supposed to sleep?

Lingshan’s office had a resting room with a small bed, and it could hold two people, just barely. There was also a sofa in the office outside!

“Lin Yi, you and Lingshan could sleep on the bed? I’ll take the sofa?” Yutian had accepted Lingshan and Lin Yi already, anyway.

Lingshan blushed, but she didn’t say no. In her heart, she treated herself as Lin Yi’s woman- he’d seen everything that needed to be seen anyway, and she was always... like that in front of him. Why would she even care if they had to sleep on the same bed? In fact, she might even look forward to it!

“No need, I don’t sleep. Practitioning is the same as sleeping. I’ll just use the chair in the office. You guys rest.” Lin Yi said flatly.

“Alright, then.” Yutian nodded and went to the sofa.

Yutian could see that small disappointment in Lingshan’s face, but this wasn’t something he could get involved in. He went to sleep quickly.

“I’ll go rest then too...” Lingshan knew that Lin Yi would do what he decided to do- if he didn’t want to, there was no way she was going to be able to force him.

The night went by silently, and the three went on their journey the next morning, to an ancient tomb in the outskirts of Songshan!

The three were on a range rover, Yutian’s car. Although he took out the original license plate and used a fake one- this was what tomb robbers did anyway, they were just following the disguise.

The tomb was located in a small county near Songshan, but it was still five hours’ worth of driving! There were mountain roads, too, so five hours was just an estimate.

As expected, it was already dusk when they arrived. This was a very barren and isolated place, beneath the foot of the mountain. There was only a small village there, and the roads here and technology wasn’t very advanced. It wasn’t a well off village.

“After we pass by this village, there are still around ten kilometers, and that’ll be the mountain vein where they found the tomb!” Lingshan said as she looked at the map, speaking to Yutian and Lin Yi. “You guys want to rest at the village for one night and go on tomorrow?”
