Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1372: Prodding

Chapter 1371 – Prodding

“Alright then,” Godan nodded. He was bullshitting and wasting time in order to divert Jin Wudi’s attention so he could kill him with one hit, but he didn’t think the guy would give him the opportunity on his own- he felt quite happy about it.

Wudi smiled gracefully patting his chest as he stood in the yard, “Come, hit me! I’ll let you hit me, see if it does anything! Ignorant child, haven’t you heard of the Golden Clock Protection technique before?”

“I haven’t,” Goudan said honestly, “Don’t know what you’re talking about, but it seems pretty tough, though I’ll probably be able to kill you anyway.”

Goudan’s words made everyone present burst into laughter!

Especially Zhen Yingjun and Zhao Qibing- Yingjun wasn’t from a noble house, so he didn’t have noble house rules on him and he didn’t care, while Qibing was from a hidden house, and naturally he didn’t care. The Xiao brothers, cautious of Pi Zhishan and Qibing’s presence, didn’t laugh too loosely.

Pi Zhishan was someone who was in control of his body- he came to support Jin Wudi, but he wasn’t one to wear his emotions on his face! Plus, he knew that the two practitioners from House Pi, while not top tier fighters, had died easily to Lin Yi’s follower. That meant one thing- Uncle Pi’s death at the beginning was no coincidence. Even if Gou Huli didn’t drive and run him over, he wouldn’t have lived long anyway.

Since these two boys were this powerful- just where did they come from? Were they really from some ancient sect or house? Even Pi Zhishan who had a high position hadn’t heard of these two people before, they couldn’t have just popped out of thin air, right?

So, before he was sure of that, he wouldn’t show his attitude.

If even Jin Wudi wasn’t able to fight this guy, then he had to endure it and go back to House PI to plan the next step. If both Lin Yi and Goudan really were from high up, fighting House Pi would be extremely easy for them!

In the eyes of the ancient sects and families, hidden houses weren’t much at all. They had Sky class fighters, after all!

“Alright, I’ll let you take a hit- if you can’t kill me, I’ll kill your entire family!” He looked at Goudan mockingly. Ignorance really was bliss, wasn’t it? This guy was so ignorant he didn’t even know to fear his Golden Clock Protection!

Some distance away, a black shadow was hastily making a phone call.

“Elder Li, I’m shadow thirteen, Jin Wudi has left the mountain, and I’ve been guarding here for a couple of days with no signs of Lin Yi, he seems to have left home for a while, only leaving a follower here to protect the Miss. Jin Wudi is now at their doorstep, claiming he’s going to take the Miss!” His voice was rushed.

“What? Jin Wudi’s there already!” Elder Li was evidently surprised- he didn’t think that it would only take one day for him to leave the mountain. Originally, he was planning to use the shadow group to inform Lin Yi to get ready and perhaps hide out for a bit, but they had no time left!

“What do we do now- the shadows are requesting for backup!” Shadow Thirteen said, “The two sides are about to fight now, but from what Jin Wudi is saying, the little Miss will probably be fine for right now. Although Zhen Yingjun is about to take her home, there will still be some time to save her!”

Elder Li felt very rushed, but there was nothing he could do! These years, his authority in the Dark Palace Sect was getting weaker and weaker, with all the power on the Grand Elder’s hands. He could only control the shadow group, but just the scouting and hiding types- not the attack types!

But other than these guys, he had no one else to send.

“I’ll report this to the Grand Elder...” Elder Li said, “You pay attention and notify me once anything happens!”

“Yes!” The shadow said.

Hanging up, Elder Li quickly made way to the Grand Elder’s residence.

“What is the matter, Elder Li?” The Grand Elder said as she looked at the man stumbling in, frowning. “You’re not a kid, what rushes you so?”

“Grand Elder, the little Miss is in danger, I request backup to be sent!” Elder Li was an elder of the Dark Place Sect, so naturally he was allowed in the Grand Elder’s residence, but the Grand Elder really was getting a bit impatient with him. Every time he came, it was only ever about Chu Mengyao.

“Danger? What does it have to do with you, or us Dark Palace Sect?” The Grand Elder asked.

“Grand Elder, that’s still the Miss’ blood... In her body, there might be the blood of the Dark Phoenix, she might even be able to be the next sect master of our sect...” Elder Li said, “People with Dark Phoenix blood in them were the most likely to break into Sky class, back then, all those years, the-”

“Enough! You’ve said this a hundred times already. The child of Wan Er and a common man wouldn’t have Dark Phoenix blood, and even if she did, it wouldn’t be pure! It’d be hard for her to have success in the road of practitioning! I would probably have to give her a Body Cleansing Elixir!” The Grand Elder said with an impatient wave, “If you’re able to get a pill of Body Cleansing I’ll agree to bringing the bastard back!”

With those words, Elder Li smiled bitterly. This pill was a pill of the gods, an extreme rarity- the Sky Elixir Sect’s Treasury only had one pill in there, they wouldn’t give it to him, let alone the fact that they were at odds with their sect. Even if that wasn’t the case, back then, even if the Sky Elixir Sect’s master had really married Wan Er, he wouldn’t use the pill on a child like that!

After all, the true use of the Body Cleansing Elixir was so that one could pursue even greater heights after reaching sky class! Saying that the pill was worth cities was already an understatement.

The Grand Elder’s words completely silenced whatever else Elder Li was going to say, it was an impossible demand!

“But, it’s better that there’s a chance, right...” He said carefully.

“I already checked back then, if she really had talent, I wouldn’t need you telling me this!” The Grand Elder said faintly, “Alright, we’re done with this- you’re dismissed!”

“Grand Elder, please reconsider!” Elder Li didn’t want to give up yet, “Grand Elder, are you really going to watch as the little miss gets defiled by evil men...”

“She wouldn’t die from that anyway, she’s just a commoner. Why would I care.” The Grand Elder was getting impatient, “I have to practition now.”
