Beauty and the Bodyguard

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yi stood up refreshed and looked at the curious Ning Xuefei next to him. Recalling the scene last night, he couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed. Although he was unconscious at the time, I still remember some of the general situation.

He broke into a strange woman's boudoir, and even fell into her bathtub. More importantly, she happened to be taking a bath. Just thinking about this kind of thing made Lin Yi feel guilty.

Just when Lin Yi didn't know what to say, there was suddenly a burst of footsteps outside the door. They were well-trained, and they should be Zhenbei Guards.

"This was right here, and I said there was a problem here!" The first voice that sounded was quite familiar. It was the Zhenbei guard who called the door last night, Mazi.

Lin Yi was suddenly shocked. Jiyingtang is now on high alert. It is not surprising that the fluctuations in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth caused by the breakthrough just now attracted these Zhenbei guards.

However, it would be really troublesome if he was arrested like this.

After all, the Zhenbei Guards are all elites. They were scared away by Ning Xuefei's background last night, but now they are suspicious again, and with such a big thing happening, if they want to send them away again with just one word, they will not Realistic.

However, Ning Xuefei winked at Lin Yi and asked him to find a corner to hide. She got up and opened the door. Facing a group of Zhenbei guards who looked suspicious, Ning Xuefei did not give them any chance to ask questions. , just complaining all over the place.

"What are you going to do? I just took two top-quality Foundation-Building Barrier-Breaking Pills yesterday, and I was interrupted by you when I was taking them at the critical moment of breakthrough. Now it's better, the breakthrough failed, and all the hard work was in vain. You are extremely Why is Beizhidao like this?" Ning Xuefei said with aggrieved mouth.

"Uh, Miss Ning..." All the Zhenbei guards suddenly looked at each other. As Ning Xuefei, being blamed for this was not something that any of them could afford.

"You came to disturb me last night, and now it's still dark, and you're here to cause trouble again. Is this how your Far North Island treats guests? Huh, I'll ask you, Butler Song, to pay for my elixir tomorrow!" Ning Xuefei lectured angrily, then turned to the little maid next door who heard the commotion and ran over to serve her: "Xiaoling, go and call the guy from Hong's Chamber of Commerce, and I'll ask him if he has any top-quality elixirs. Oh, it’s so annoying, it’s all wasted!”

"Ah, yes." Xiaoling shrank her head and hurried away with small steps.

Upon seeing this, all the Zhenbei guards did not dare to stay here anymore. They all nodded and bowed to Ning Xuefei and apologized, and then dispersed in a hurry.

After burning the incense, Xiaoling came back to report: "Miss, I haven't found the guy from Hong's Chamber of Commerce. How about I ask again when it gets dark later?"

Ning Xuefei waved her hand and said, "No need, I've asked others to find him. It's none of your business here, so please leave first."

"Yes." Xiaoling immediately and obediently retreated, leaving only Ning Xuefei and Lin Yi in the room.

Ning Xuefei blinked her big eyes and pursed her lips as if asking for credit: "Hey, are you okay? Isn't this lady very smart?"

"I'm fine. Thank you Miss Ning for your help!" Lin Yi nodded gratefully. With Ning Xuefei's response just now, not only did Ning Xuefei successfully get past Zhenbei Wei, she even had an honest answer when she went back later. The reason is, I didn't expect that she looks very nervous, but she is very resourceful.

Just when he was worried about how to repay, Lin Yi suddenly caught sight of a small wooden box with the words "Hong's Chamber of Commerce" on the cabinet next to him. It was the two top-quality coins that Ning Xuefei mentioned just now. Foundation-building and barrier-breaking elixir.

Lin Yi's heart moved, and he immediately said: "I will keep Miss Ning's help in mind. If you need it in the future, Miss can go to Hong Zhong from the Hong Chamber of Commerce. No matter what kind of elixir you refine, just say yes." That’s all I agree to!”

Ning Xuefei's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up. She was just thinking about this. The reason why she took the initiative to help Lin Yi out just now was actually out of this consideration. Unexpectedly, Lin Yi actually took the initiative to speak. She couldn't help but nodded and said: "Okay. Ah, okay, I won’t be polite.”

Lin Yi suddenly laughed. Judging from the temperament of this girl, she was quite similar to his Shangguan junior sister from Beidao Chongtian Pavilion. She should also come from a famous cultivating family, but Shangguan Laner was not so arrogant.

Taking a look at the sky that was getting brighter outside, Lin Yi took out the Thousand Silk Mask and was about to put it on. When he was about to leave, he took off this Thousand Silk Mask after entering the house yesterday just to make Miss Ning recognize him. He is a little boy, but he does not kick him out. Otherwise, as a complete stranger, it will be difficult for him to guarantee that Miss Ning will not betray him!

Although I am grateful to Miss Ning in my heart, under the current situation, this place has become a place of right and wrong, and it is easy to cause problems if you stay here for a long time.

Moreover, Lin Yi deliberately did not ask the other party's identity. He only knew that Zhenbei Wei said her surname was Ning. Talking too much at this time may not be a good thing. If you want to thank her, you can find an opportunity in the future.

"Are you leaving now? I'll see you off. There are many Zhenbei guards outside, and ordinary people can't come in and out casually." Ning Xuefei didn't hold back when she saw this, and took the initiative to suggest.

"Then I'll trouble you." Lin Yi thought for a while and didn't refuse. Although the other party had just given him an honest reason, he was a strange face after all. If he was questioned back and forth, his flaws might be exposed.

The two went out immediately, and sure enough, the guards outside were much tighter than usual. There were fully armed Zhenbei guards in every corner, and not even a fly could fly out.

However, when Ning Xuefei sent Lin Yi out of the back door, the Zhenbei Guards did not come to check. They just looked at Lin Yi up and down, saluted Ning Xuefei, and then directly raised their hands to let her go. It can be seen that Ning Xue just let her go. Fei's performance had an effect, otherwise even if Ning Xuefei accompanied her in person, she would never let him go without asking a word.

After successfully leaving Jiyingtang, Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Not only was he able to escape smoothly, but more importantly, it was obvious from the attitudes of the guards that the temporary on-site disguise he made yesterday really worked!

In other words, Butler Song and the others should have come to the conclusion that Zheng Tianjie died because of the explosion of the furnace while refining the elixir!

Otherwise, no matter whether Zheng Tianjie is still alive or he is judged to be an assassin, these Zhenbei guards will never be able to let him out so easily. They will inevitably strictly interrogate everyone who comes in and out, even Miss Ning will not be an exception. .
