Beauty and the Bodyguard

Crueler Than You Are

“That’s impulsive!” Shuixing waved his hand, his face solemn. “Do you know the type of situation we’re in? You still want to go to him for revenge. How can you be so foolish”

“But… We’re just going to let this go?” Yu Feng paused.

“Brother, I know that you want to take revenge for me and my father, but uncle’s right. We can’t make a move based on impulse right now!” Yu Kun wanted revenge himself, but he understood that this was not the time to be rushing things.

“Feng, you’re young, that’s why you’re impulsive!” Shuixing nodded. “Right now, Lin Yi is making it clear that he was putting on a sheepskin to bait us, and not only did he not lose his strength he even improved! Not even that, just a dog beside him has become a practitioner dog! Behind him, just how much power is behind him backing him up for him to do this? That dog had almost gotten killed by Kun’s hit, so just what sort of treasures did they have to pull out to heal it? Let’s not talk about other houses—just our House Yu alone might not be able to take out treasures like that, let alone using them on a dog! Plus, being able to turn a dog into a practitioner dog? That was hard enough for humans, and now they have a practitioner dog! Did they have too many treasures, or too many masters, so they decided to try playing with this dog practitioner idea?”

Yu Feng lowered his head at his father’s words. He was right—from these details, it was clear just how immensely powerful Lin Yi’s background was. He couldn’t act rashly.

“But what do we do? Do we have to endure this?” Yu Feng said a little depressedly.

“That is all we can do for now. But remember, anyone destined for greatness must know how to endure. Isn’t that what the story about tasting gall while sleeping on brushwood told us? We have to endure!” Shuixing said. “I’ll contact your eldest uncle about this later, see what he has to say! As long as the hidden House Yu stands up for us, then we have nothing to fear. It’s just that the people on that side won’t make a move that easily!”

Yu Feng nodded and sighed. “We’ll have to endure it, then!”

Lin Yi not losing his strength was a piece of news that grew wings, flying around to everybody’s ears. Zhen Dazhou and Zhen Yingjun were the first ones to know this!

The two shivered in fear once they realized the truth. They were scared that Lin Yi would come to their doorstep!

“Elder Ma, when will your master come down from the mountains? Not only did Lin Yi not lose his strength, I even heard that he’s exacting vengeance on those who wanted revenge from him!” Dazhou was pale as he spoke to Ma Zhu. “House Yu and HOuse Xiao both lost lives to him, and Yao Wang along with Zhao Qibin are injured as well! What do we do/ Could Lin Yi’s next target be us?”

“What? Lin Yi’s regained his strength?” Ma Zhu didn’t believe the news! He felt a wave of sadness wipe through him. If Lin Yi were crippled as well then he would have some cause for comfort, but the man now was perfectly fine, while he was crippled! He couldn’t accept it!

“Yeah, I’m worried Lin Yi would come to us for revenge!” Dazhou said, very worried. He was regretting terribly how he’d went to piss Lin Yi off- now not only was his son’s reproductive capabilities destroyed, Ma Zhu had suffered heavy injuries as well!

“Hmph, let’s see if he dares! Only death awaits him once my master arrives!” Ma Zhu smiled coldly. From what he could see, Lin Yi was no small threat—but he was nothing compared to his master!

“Then when will your master come, Elder Ma? Could he hasten the pace? I’m worried that Lin Yi would be at our doorstep before he reaches us…” He said worriedly.

“My master is an earth phase master, but according to the rules of the hidden houses’ committee, earth-class masters aren’t allowed to just roam the common world, unless there were special reasons! He’s already applied to the committee for permission…” Ma Zhu frowned.

Ma Zhu understood the rules surrounding the hidden houses, rules that only applied to them. For those big sects, they didn’t work! In front of those super ancient sects, these hidden houses were nothing but small fry!

The hidden houses couldn’t interfere at all. They didn’t even have the right to ask about what was going on in the ancient sects!

Ma Zhu’s sect was small, and it was just a newly made sect. Sects like that would, of course, be influenced by the union of those hidden houses!

“I see…” Dazhou nodded. “Then what do we do?”

“My master said that we should hide for a while before he comes. Everything will be solved once he arrives!” Ma Zhu said.

Ma Zhu’s voice had just finished speaking when a knocking could be heard outside!

“Who?” Dazhou asked subconsciously.

“Lin Yi.” Lin Yi said dully. He’d already heard from Qibin that these people were hiding here in this hotel.

“Lin Yi!” Dazhou jumped, almost falling to the ground as he looked in horror at Ma Zhu. “Elder Ma, what do we do?”

“Didn’t I tell you to endure it first? Wait until my master comes. At that point nothing will be a problem.” Ma Zhu frowned a little impatiently. He hated Lin Yi as well, but he knew well that there was nothing he could do to him in his current situation.

“Oh…” Dazhou toughened himself up and wal.ked over to open the door, acting composed. “Lin Yi, why are you here? We’ve both cleared our debts, haven’t we? Elder Ma’s become crippled, and you’ve destroyed my son as well. What else do you want?”

“Oh, that’s true, but I’m here to start something new, it’s not related to last time.” Lin Yi smiled, speaking flatly.

“Start something new? What do you mean?” Dazhou paused.

“You extorted me last time, so I’m doing it to you!” Lin Yi said.

“You want to extort money from me?” Dazhou’s face changed.

“Five hundred million. I’m someone who always likes to pay back twofold, so since you took two hundred fifty million last time, it’s not too much if I demand five hundred from you, right?” Lin Yi smiled as he looked at Dazhou, putting on an innocent smile. “If you don’t, then I’ll have to kidnap your son and go to Donghai, destroying all your businesses. After all, I’m the best at destroying skyscrapers, ask Zhao Qibin—I did two for him.”

Dazhou’s face paled instantly! Lin Yi was threatening him, it was a blatant threat! He was much crueler than he had been! At least he only kidnapped Mengyao and Yushu before asking for money, but Lin Yi didn’t even do that yet and he was asking for five hundred million! He was straight-up threatening him to pay up or he’d kidnap his son!
