Beauty and the Bodyguard

What if Zhang Liju wasn\'t confident that he could cure these girls? Or rather, what if Zhang Liju had the ability to save her but couldn\'t return to the mortal world?

With Lin Yi\'s personality, he wouldn\'t be scared even if the enemy was stronger. Like now, he was facing west Mountain old sect. At most, he would find a place to hide and wait until he was strong enough to settle the score. It was no big deal.

But the two things he was worried about now weren\'t things that could be solved with just hard work-success or failure all depended on Zhang Liju, and Lin Yi couldn\'t help at all. This feeling of powerlessness was the most tormenting thing, and for the past one and a half years, Lin Yi couldn\'t help but worry every time he closed his eyes, afraid that he\'d get a negative answer. If it weren\'t for his strong heart, he\'d be mentally exhausted already.

But thankfully, he got the answer to both questions from this thing, and it was a positive answer. Lin Yi\'s heart finally settled down.

Liju said he wasn\'t sure if he could wake up the inheritor, but just like what the thing said, he\'d never made a mistake before, so he must be very confident. As long as there weren\'t any accidents, it shouldn\'t be a problem for him to save the inheritor.

Other than that, Lin Yi didn\'t have to worry about whether he could go back to the common world. Even if he couldn\'t get a conclusion from the central Chamber of Commerce, as long as he could find Zhang Liju, he would definitely have a way to open the formation path to the common world. This news was like a reassurance to Lin Yi.

However, Lin Yi wasn\'t in a rush after hearing the news. Liju had just opened it two years ago, and according to that thing, his seven wives would need a few years to recover. He couldn\'t open it again in the near future, so there was no point in Lin Yi being anxious now. He might as well focus on his strength.

Of course, if he had the chance to find out the secret passage of the central Chamber of Commerce in the future, it would be a surprise, but with Liju as a safe choice, Lin Yi didn\'t have to force it. After all, the central Chamber of Commerce had a lot of Masters, and they weren\'t to be messed with.

Now that the two big problems were solved, Lin Yi was pumped up, and his energy was clearly different from before. He was still as calm and reserved as before, but there was a sunshine-like quality to him now, making people feel like they were bathing in the spring wind.

"You can\'t blame me for this. I\'m not a gossiper. How can I keep talking about this embarrassing thing all day long? You\'re lucky that you can hear it now. I was going to keep this matter to myself and never tell anyone, but now I\'ve made an exception for you, so what\'s there to be dissatisfied about?" The ghastly thing sneered.

As he said that, the ghost couldn\'t help but feel a little emotional. Back in the common world, he didn\'t have much interaction with Lin Yi, let alone a close relationship. So when they first came to Sky Class Island, his protection of Lin Yi was at most limited to keeping him alive. Other than that, he couldn\'t be bothered to interfere.

However, in the past year, the two of them had been through thick and thin together. Plus, Lin Yi\'s personality was to his liking, so their relationship was different from before. Things that he wouldn\'t say or do in the past were now said and done. It was no surprise.

"Alright, then I\'m really flattered." Lin Yi couldn\'t help but smile and nod. The stone in his heart was lifted anyway, and the next step was clear-he had to get stronger and find Zhang Liju. Everything else was secondary.

"That\'s true. " The ghastly thing chuckled and returned to the main topic,"Alright, that\'s all. Hurry up and start your cultivation. Don\'t waste this great opportunity."

"Alright, do you want to explore the surroundings first?" Lin Yi wasn\'t planning on exploring this place alone, but he needed to at least know the surroundings like the back of his hand. It\'d be a big joke if he got targeted by some scary being in the middle of his cultivation.

"There\'s no need for that. I\'ll use my divine sense to keep an eye on the surroundings. If there\'s anything unusual, I\'ll inform you immediately. " The ghostly thing said. In his current state, he didn\'t dare to say anything else, but at least he had absolute confidence in his divine sense. Not only did he not regress, but he even advanced a lot compared to his previous peak state. After all, this was the only thing he could rely on.

"Alright, then I\'ll leave it to you, senior." Lin Yi nodded. In fact, even if there wasn\'t any ghostly thing on guard for him, he had the Jade space to alert him. No matter what kind of danger it was, he would still have time to react, so there was nothing to worry about.

With that, Lin Yi turned around and told the spirit Bird not to go too far away before jumping onto a high platform.

This underground space wasn\'t just empty, the terrain was weird as well. There was a tall platform every ten to twenty feet, some directly connected to the top of the mud, some were a bit off, and the platform Lin Yi chose was just right to reach the mud.

Standing on the high platform, Lin Yi\'s body was only a stone\'s throw away from the mud. Although he didn\'t sink in, the five elements killing intent would appear from time to time and touch Lin Yi\'s body.

Lin Yi didn\'t wrap his body with pure Qi like he did when he came down-after all, he\'d be completely ignored by the killing Qi, and he wouldn\'t be able to train anymore. But he didn\'t dare to touch the killing Qi too rashly, so he didn\'t go deep into the mud and chose this high platform that he could just get to.

It\'s here! The Jade\'s alarm sounded, and Lin Yi\'s eyes narrowed. In the blink of an eye, a half-solid Five Element killing intent shot out from the mud not far away!
