Beauty and the Bodyguard

"By the way, third brother, my time in seclusion has been going well, right?" Patriarch Xuanzhen asked.

Over the years, his main energy has been on cultivation and alchemy, and he has basically stopped managing the affairs of the sect. He only knew the plans of ancestor Xuanchen, but did not participate.

"Second brother..." Ancestor Xuanchen said this, paused, and said sadly: "It's not going well, second brother, something big happened a while ago!"

"What! Something big happened? What happened?" Ancestor Xuanzhen's face froze, his steps stopped, and he turned to look at Ancestor Xuanchen: "What big thing happened?"

"Second brother, Taganlong, was crippled!" Ancestor Xuanchen sighed and said somewhat bitterly.

"What! Taganlong was crippled?" Ancestor Xuanzhen was shocked after hearing this: "What's going on? Why was he crippled?"

"Second brother, the thing is like this..." Ancestor Xuanchen told Ancestor Xuanzhen about Taganlong's situation, and finally said: "Originally, I placed my hope on Second Brother. I miss Second Brother." After coming out of seclusion, you can refine fourth-grade elixirs, and then you can refine the fourth-grade Great Return Pill and the fourth-grade Great Tongluo Pill, but..."

"If a fourth-grade elixir can be refined, the boss will also..." Ancestor Xuanzhen said with a helpless smile: "In the past three years, I have not been able to make a breakthrough. I estimate that in the next few years, I won’t make any progress, I can’t count on fourth-grade elixirs..."

"So, little brother, I took it upon myself to activate the backup plan first. After all, a person with a five-element physique is quite difficult to find. You and I have been searching for so many years and finally found Taganlong, a man with a complex physique who is one in a million. ..." Ancestor Xuanchen said.

"Backup plan..." Ancestor Xuanzhen nodded. He knew a little bit about this backup plan, but it was not too detailed: "Are you sure about the backup plan?"

"Be sure... half and half. Whether Anzi can succeed or not depends on what happens next." Ancestor Xuanchen said, lowering his voice and whispering in Ancestor Xuanzhen's ear.

Ancestor Xuanchen was actually afraid that his two disciples, Xiao Er and Xiao San, would hear about it. After all, only he and Xiao Yi knew about this matter.

Ancestor Xuanzhen nodded after hearing this and said: "I hope it can succeed. I really didn't expect that such a big thing would happen during this retreat..."

"There is no other way. If it doesn't work this time, we can only slowly look for someone with the right physique..." Ancestor Xuanchen sighed helplessly.

"Taganlong, is there no way to recover except taking the fourth-grade elixir?" Ancestor Xuanzhen asked.

"Second brother, you can go check it out. Apart from this, I really can't think of any other opportunities..." Ancestor Xuanchen said.

"Then let's go and have a look..." Ancestor Xuanzhen could only do nothing but be a doctor at this moment.

The two of them quickly arrived at the room where Taganlong was resting. Although Taganlong's injuries were under control, he did not wake up at the moment. His pulse was very messy. Ancestor Xuanchen also temporarily hugged him. It's just his life, but it's impossible to recover him.

Ancestor Xuanzhen carefully checked Taganlong's pulse, frowned into a Sichuan shape, and remained silent for a long time...

In a blink of an eye, it was time for school to end at noon. There were no classes this afternoon. Lin Yi said goodbye to Wang Xinyan and walked out of the classroom with Han Jingjing.

Kang Zhaolong originally wanted to go over and have a few words with Wang Xinyan, but thinking about the embarrassing incident today, Kang Zhaolong finally gave up. It is estimated that Wang Xinyan will not give him a good look if he goes to talk to Wang Xinyan now, so he can only give up after thinking about it.

Moreover, he made an appointment with Youpanhu to go to the natural ski resort in Giton City to check it out first, so he and Youpanhu left the classroom together.

"Brother Lin Yi, do you want to cheat Youpanhu's medicinal materials again?" Han Jingjing asked Lin Yi after leaving the classroom.

"Yes, we don't have any medicinal materials in our hands, so we can only get them from Youpanhu." Lin Yi said: "Since this kid came to our door on his own initiative, there is no need for us to let him go."

"Oh, how can Jingjing cooperate?" Han Jingjing nodded, showing no intention of refuting Lin Yi's suggestion.

"Next time he comes to talk to you and asks you something, just say that he is short of medicinal materials. Every time he comes, you ask him for medicinal materials until he realizes that he has been deceived and stops being deceived." Lin Yi said.

"Yeah, okay." Han Jingjing nodded and agreed: "Then You Panhu won't cause trouble for Jingjing after he finds out that he has been fooled, right?"

"If he wants to cause trouble for you, just tell him directly that I instigated you to do this and ask him to come to me." Lin Yi directly took over the trouble. He was not afraid of the right side of the tiger.

"I understand Jingjing." Han Jingjing nodded and said.

There are no classes for the medicine major this afternoon, but Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu have classes in the afternoon. Lin Yi called Chu Mengyao and asked her to have lunch together.

He and Han Jingjing arrived at the teaching building of the Department of Economics, and soon saw Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu.

Seeing the same smile on Chen Yushu's face, Lin Yi immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Xiao Shu's trouble should be solved, but Lin Yi couldn't figure out who instigated Xiao Shu to assassinate him?

Who can instruct Xiao Shu, or in other words, what is the reason for Xiao Shu to submit? But Xiao Shu didn't want to say it, and Lin Yi couldn't press him. As long as she seemed fine now, Lin Yi would be relieved.

Lin Yi glanced at Chu Mengyao, who nodded to him, indicating that everything was fine with Xiao Shu.

"What do you want to eat for lunch?" Lin Yi asked: "Eat in the cafeteria or go out?"

"Let's go out to eat. Xiao Shu wants to have a big meal." Chen Yushu thought for a while and said.

Today's incident allowed her to get away with it, which made Xiao Shu feel like she was surviving a disaster. Especially since she no longer had to target Lin Yi in the future, Xiao Shu was very happy, so she wanted to have a big meal to celebrate.

"Okay, then let's go out for a big dinner." Lin Yi nodded readily and agreed.

"Call me Sister Xinyan?" Chen Yushu suggested.

"Let me ask." If Lin Yi was eating in the school cafeteria, he would naturally not call her Wang Xinyan, but if he went out to eat, it would be better to ask. He dialed Wang Xinyan's number and asked, "Xinyan, where are you? Jingjing, Yaoyao, Xiaoshu and I are going to go out to eat something. Will you come with us?"

"I..." Wang Xinyan hesitated immediately. If it were normal times, Wang Xinyan would definitely agree. After all, Wang Xinyan has a good relationship with Lin Yi, Yaoyao, and Xiao Shu, and Han Jingjing is a classmate. What did she say? Can't refuse.
