Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1327: You Xiaoke is Tired

“Alright,” Lin Yi nodded.

“If you guys are hungry you can go buy food there,” He pointed at a truck some distance away.

“No need, we brought our own!” Lin Yi went back into the car, and Yutian started driving to look for a camping spot.

“What the hell, who does that piece of shit think he is?” The guy with a machine gun beside the skinny man said as Lin Yi left. He spat at the ground. “He thinks he’s so rich, and still brings food by himself all the time- do us a favor and get killed in the tomb!”

“We’re not from the same group, and we’ve always been at odds. They might be afraid we’ve poisoned the food,” Old Hei shook his head and didn’t say anything more.

“That was great, Lin Yi!” Lingshan praised after the car got farther. “I was so nervous, worried that that Old Hei would see something wrong- his eyes were like piercing swords. And you just went down to yell at him!”

“I guess I did,” Lin Yi said flatly. “What do we do now? Set up camp like them?”

“Yes, according to the details, the couple doesn’t have a good relationship with the others, so we don’t have to visit anyone or anything. Just need to stay and wait,” Lingshan said.

Lin Yi nodded and got out the car to set up camp with Yutian before bringing out some food.

Some distance away, Od Hei was using a telescope to look at Lin Yi’s group- they were only setting up a tent, and so he let out a breath of relief.

He didn’t feel anything wrong with them this time, but he felt like there was a dangerous feeling coming from the man of the couple like it was different.

Old Hei shook his head. Maybe he was too sensitive.

In the tent, Yutian and Lingshan were eating bread and drinking water. Lin Yi only ate a bit before starting to practition again. There was plenty of energy in the jade space, so he didn’t have to eat. That bite of bread he took was just a habit.

“Let’s take shifts tonight to stand watch,” Lingshan planed as she ate. “I’m a little worried- they might notice something.”

“That wouldn’t happen yet, but it’s fine- you guys sleep. I’ll stand watch.” Lin Yi said casually. “Practitioning is the same as sleeping for me. I can sense our surroundings.”

Lingshan opened her mouth in surprise but didn’t say anything. She’d seen plenty of weird stuff coming from Lin Yi at this point.

You Xiaoke was exhausted. Money really wasn’t that easy to earn- it was so hard to get an allowance for the orphanage!

They got more than two million from Songshan High, but they couldn’t just do anything and eat on that money until it ran out! She had to take any opportunities she had, especially with how tight the police were still being. She had to do this business.

She posted a commission offer on the website, and a few days later, a group called the Red Treasure Tower accepted it, telling her to come to help them rob this tomb.

And so she came.

But she didn’t have a car! She got a taxi, but he was only willing to drive him to the village, not a step further! This was just a taxi, after all. He didn’t want to scrape the bottom of his car.

And so she could only walk after getting out, but even if she was descendent of the Flying Sparrow Sect, with great qinggong abilities capable of going many miles in one breath, it was still tiring. She was a girl with low stamina in the first place!

“I’m finally here!” Xiaoke’s eyes were almost wet as she saw the tent some distance away- she couldn’t help but cry out in celebration. She started her qinggong again and rushed over!

“Who is it?” Old Hei went out with the machine gunmen.

“From the Flying Sparrow Sect.” You Xiaoke stopped, trying to catch her breath.

“You... You walked here?” Old Hei was a bit troubled as he looked at this person who had come on foot- this was someone from the Flying Sparrow Sect! They sure were tough, running distances like this.

“Yeah! You guys didn’t even send a car to get me. I’m so tired!” Xiaoke rubbed her waist.

“Sky King trumps the Earth Tiger!” Old Hei was pretty certain that this was the girl, but he had to be careful.

“Glory to Great King Li!” Xiaoke said, “Alright, let me look at the tomb, and we can talk about my terms!”

“Naturally! Please come.” Old Hei nodded. He didn’t dare piss off someone from the Flying Sparrow Sect, that was an old name after all. They were particularly good at traps and stuff like that, “It’s not just our group this time, so the number of benefits we can give you will have to be discussed with everyone else, I can’t make all the decisions. Of course, this depends on your own ability as well!”

Old Hei was making it clear- if she wanted more stuff, she had to make more contributions. If she wasn’t going to be too useful, then she wouldn’t get any treasures, but just a sum of compensation.

“Got it!” Xiaoke nodded.

Lin Yi was practitioning when he heard some footsteps outside. He came back to reality and got up. “Someone’s here, but it’s not a practitioner. Tian, go take a look!”

Yutian was here as a follower, so Lin Yi called him Tian.

“Yes!” Yutian nodded and walked out, seeing Old Hei’s man coming over. There was still some distance- how did Lin Yi notice him when he was so far away?
