Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1377: Strength Discovered

He put his ear near the wall, listening.

“Hello? Yes, is this Grandpa Lin? I’m Er Goudan...” Goudan’s voice was weak as he talked to him- Lin Yi had given this number to him, and with Lin Yi gone he could only talk to the old man about this.

“Er Goudan? How are you, why is your voice so weak? Did something happen?” Old Lin didn’t know why Goudan was calling all of a sudden- Lin Yi was grave robbing, and he knew that Goudan was protecting the girls, so he wouldn’t call unless something happened.

“Grandpa Lin, my strength is all gone, I can’t hold down the negative effects on my body right now, what do I do? Lin Yi boss isn’t back yet so I can’t leave the villa, I didn’t finish my mission yet...”

“What! You used up all your strength?” Old Lin paused. “Er Goudan, if that’s the case, you need to come back right now- otherwise your life will be in danger!”

“It’s fine, I can hold on!” Goudan smiled bitterly, “Plus, I have to- boss’ mission is still ongoing, I can’t let him down.”

“Then you can’t use any shred of strength at all- just lay in bed all day, and when Lin Yi returns, you come back to the village right away!” Old Lin said with a sigh. He knew this guy’s personality, he wouldn’t back off after promising Lin Yi something.

“Okay, got it- I’ll just lay in bed until boss Lin Yi comes back, and I’ll leave,” Goudan said.

With that, Zhishan’s face got even more confused- what was going on? Why was he talking about his strength as if it were a limited resource? He couldn’t use it after finishing it, and he needed to leave?

Did that mean that he wasn’t a threat anymore? So no wonder he couldn’t feel his strength level, he wasn’t a practitioner at all? He was only that strong because of a special body condition?

But Zhishan was a careful man- he may have made this conclusion, but he didn’t dare go test it out. He didn’t appear right now to become enemies with Goudan and Lin Yi! He was someone who planned and thought first before making his move, and he needed to discuss this with his master father first.

At that time, a car came into the yard, and Zhishan left immediately.

It was Uncle Fu, and he didn’t notice the presence that was hiding there- his heart was focused on Goudan’s situation and just rushed inside.

Goudan, however, didn’t know that House Pi had learned of his secret.

Zhao Qibing and Li Cihua were basically using all their strength to run back to the bar- they were both pissed. Lin Yi wasn’t dead and Wudi had gotten killed by his follower, they now knew very clearly the extent of Lin Yi’s power. Even his follower was a monster!

Qibing had decided that he would lay off Lin Yi for a while- after all, even someone like Pi Zhishan, the big heir of House Pi, lowered his head to Goudan! What the hell could he do? His dad was the proper head of the hidden house, but he was just a bastard!

Wudi was dead, and he was from a sect! Lin Yi didn’t even need to blink to have him killed!

And now, Qibing finally understood just why Lin Yi ran around without a care about the rules- even hurting him severely despite knowing he was from a hidden house! Thinking back, it was actually a miracle he was still alive!

Was House Zhao stronger than the Golden clock sect? Even House Zhao didn’t dare do anything to that sect, and Lin Yi’s follower just killed one of them and crippled another!

“Call my father- before we have absolute guarantee, we cannot do anything to Lin Yi. Let him have his fun!” Qibing looked at Cihua and sighed. He felt so wronged when he said that, sulking and everything- but he had to give in and submit now, even if he was unwilling. He couldn’t do anything.

“You’re right, Master Bing! A man should be able to endure- the saying goes that a true man can wait ten years until taking revenge- we’ll plan our move and take Lin Yi out with one go then!” Cihua nodded.

Yao Wang and Uncle Zhu were silent- after fighting Lin Yi for so long, this was the conclusion?

“I can’t take this! I need to kill Lin Yi!” Uncle Zhu’s body had recovered a lot, but it was very hard for him to recover when he was at his peak, “If my big brother was here, he wouldn’t just let this happen to me! Where did the head send him for his mission, anyway- if he were practitioning at home he’d have broken through to Earth class already!”

“Uncle Zhu, who are you to criticize the head?” Cihua was a bit pissed off- Zhao Qibing was right here, and this guy was talking about his dad!

“It’s fine!” Qibing waved his hand, “Uncle Zhu is right- not only him, I’m thinking the same thing too, but there’s no guarantee that we can take down Lin Yi right now, We’ll have to let him go! One day, when we have full control, we will make him pay!”

Jin Wudi was dead, and while normal people wouldn’t care about that news, people of the noble houses and above were notified immediately!

Wu Gonggao was resting in the hospital when the news came!

“Head, something bad has happened!” A disciple in charge of surveillance came rushing in.

Gonggao had just gotten his breath back when a disciple came in to say something bad happened! He almost fainted!

Chentian’s father Wu Jiaoqi raged at the sight of the disciple, “Who let you barge in like that, just what is so important you have to report it now? Couldn’t you tell it to me in secret? The head of the house is resting in the sick room, and you’re charging in screaming like that?
