Beauty and the Bodyguard

The change of topic was too awkward, and Mengyao gave him a pretty look, but she still continued,""Why don't you guess my identity? I'm quite famous in history."

"Surnamed Gao ... And quite famous?"

Lin Yi's eyes suddenly lit up,"could it be Jing Ke's best friend, Gao Jianli?"

"Smart!"Mengyao's eyes curved into crescents.

"You're a girl, but you've already become the famous Gao Jianli. Why should I become the favored official Meng Jia, who has a bad track record ..."

Lin Yi was getting more and more speechless, but when he thought about what happened to Gao Jianli in history, he became serious again."Yaoyao, what's your mission?"

The mission was the biggest secret of every baptismal participant. Normally, they would not be honest with each other, but the relationship between the two was an exception.

"After Jing Ke fails to assassinate Qin, I'll avenge him and kill the king of Qin!" Mengyao said seriously.

In history, Gao Jianli had followed this path. He was famous for his attack on buildings. After the Qin Dynasty destroyed six states, he was summoned to the palace by the King of Qin. However, he was a remnant of the Yan Crown Prince Dan, and his close relationship with Jing Ke obviously could not escape the intelligence network of the Qin Dynasty. In case of any accidents, the King of Qin ordered his men to blind his eyes.

In the end, Gao Jianli still put it into action. He quietly poured lead into the building and assassinated the King of Qin while he was entranced by the music. In the end, he failed at the last step and died.

It was a tragic ending-Mengyao's current identity and the unfathomable strength of the Qin King gave Lin Yi a headache.

"Wait, you mean that we can't just kill the king of Qin directly, and we have to wait until Jing Ke's assassination failed before we assassinate him?"

Lin Yi's eyes twitched at the thought.

"That's what I meant,"Mengyao nodded helplessly.

"Then your post-meal digestion isn't easy at all," Lin Yi said, speechless.

She thought that she was in an awkward situation, but compared to Mengyao, she felt like a little cutie. No matter what, there was still room to turn things around. Mengyao, on the other hand, didn't have a choice.

​ If it was just to kill the king of Qin, it would not be so difficult. After all, the entire camp of Yan Kingdom was the foundation. Once this killing plan was formed, no matter how strong the King of Qin was, there would always be a chance to succeed.

However, Chu Mengyao had to wait until Jing Ke failed, and then face the king of Qin and the entire Qin Army alone. That was hell-level difficulty!

Sure enough, the Assassin's baptism was not a child's play. Any one of them was in hell mode, and the four words "nine deaths and one chance of survival" were not just for show.

"I've been thinking about what would happen to me if Jing Ke and the others succeeded in their assassination. "Mengyao tilted her head.

Lin Yi jumped,"please don't think that way. This world is formed by the ancient people's obsessions. Fighting it is fighting the whole world. No matter how strong you are, you can't beat it."

To put it simply, the obsessions of the ancient people, led by Bai Qi, were the gods of creation of this killing God's secret realm. Although they were no longer living beings, the rules of this world were determined by their obsessions.

Lin Yi had more or less touched the threshold of time and space, and his understanding of the world's rules was much deeper than the average person 's. Other people might be ignorant and fearless, but he knew that he couldn't fight against it with his current level.

The only way to survive was to follow the rules they had set.

Mengyao's mission seemed to be a suicide mission, but it was still better than going against the world's laws and dying!

Mengyao smiled sweetly at Lin Yi's nervous face. "I'm just lying to you. I'm not a fool who doesn't know anything. Why would I do something so stupid as to seek my own death?"

That being said, there was truth behind every joke. If she had no other choice, she actually wanted to try it.

She didn't believe that she would die Here, not because she had absolute confidence in her own strength, but because she was of great value to the darkness magical beasts. The darkness magical beasts definitely wouldn't let her die in such a place.

Lin Yi saw through it but didn't say it out loud. He smiled,"if it's just you, it's really hard to do it. But with me as a spy, it's still hard. But it's not like there's no chance at all."

"You're going to betray the Qin camp?"Mengyao asked.

"Strictly speaking, I don't belong to any faction. My only mission objective is to survive."

Lin Yi smiled. He did have the thought of working with the king to destroy the Yan camp-it seemed like the most logical choice, after all, but now that he'd met Mengyao, he'd naturally put Mengyao's mission as his priority. It didn't conflict with his own plans anyway.

Mengyao was overjoyed."That's great! I was worried that I'd have to fight you. If that happened, I'd have to back off."

"I will never cross swords with you in this life."

Lin Yi said seriously, causing Mengyao's girlish heart to overflow. She then returned to the topic,"According to the current situation, it is certain that Jing Ke will succeed in assassinating Qin. However, the most troublesome one is still the king of Qin. He is very powerful, and even if we work together, we may not be able to gain the upper hand. It is even more impossible to kill him under normal circumstances."

"If it's impossible under normal circumstances, then we'll make it abnormal," Mengyao said with a smile.

The two discussed for a while, and after settling on some important details, Mengyao suddenly took out a wooden box and gave it to Lin Yi.

"What is this?"

Lin Yi was surprised. The box wasn't big and it was light, but it made his soul tremble and he subconsciously wanted to run away.

"It's the hollow armor's inner lining, they gave it to me,"Mengyao smiled.

"Xu Chen?" Lin Yi's eyes twitched.

"That's right. Legend has it that it's a type of mutant kun. It usually wanders in the cracks of time and space and rarely appears in the world. It's said that its inner core contains the purest energy of time and space, and it's the most precious treasure that countless cultivators dream of. However, the number of void kun is extremely small, and finding them is more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack!"

"Of course, even if you're lucky enough to find them, they can escape into the space-time rift at any time. It's almost impossible to catch them, not to mention that there's a 'kun' in their names. Even if it's just a virtual kun, their individual strength is at the top of all living creatures. It's good enough that ordinary forces don't get devoured by them, let alone catch them."

"Even with the darkness magical beasts" power, they had to set up an inescapable net to catch one, and then give me its inner core. "

Mengyao's explanation made Lin Yi's jaw drop. He couldn't help but click his tongue."It seems that your status in their eyes is really high."
