Beauty and the Bodyguard

But when he was about to open the door, he suddenly heard footsteps outside. Lin Yi subconsciously became alert and immediately stopped opening the door.

In order to be able to practice with peace of mind, he had carefully observed the surrounding environment before. There were not many people living in this community, and the building he was in was even more sparse.

Except for a canteen on the first floor that is occupied, only the third floor is occupied. The fifth floor where he is located is opposite the door. There is no one on the fifth floor. The sixth floor above is empty. The house is not even decorated, and there are no people. The same is true for the fourth floor. In this case, how could there be sudden footsteps at this time?

Could it really be haunted? Lin Yi's heart moved. Although he was guarding the door and did not open the door, he still quietly released his consciousness.

The footsteps got closer and closer, and finally stopped outside the door. Lin Yi was still a little excited at first, but soon found that he was so excited that the people who came were not ghosts at all, but two living people. Among them One he had only met during the day was the intermediary.

In addition to the intermediary, the other one was a tall woman with a cold temperament. Lin Yi didn't notice it at first, but then he discovered that this woman was also a cultivator, and her strength was not low. She was actually a master in the early stage of foundation building. !

It had only been a day since he returned to the secular world, and this was already the third foundation-building master he had seen. Lin Yi couldn't help but secretly wonder, what big event happened in the secular world?

But this woman seemed to have been seriously injured, and her breath was obviously a little unstable. Most people couldn't tell anything strange on the surface, but it couldn't be hidden from Lin Yi's eyes.

"Miss, the rent of this house is indeed very cheap, but I have to say something up front, lest you come back and sue us for deceiving consumers, and we will die unjustly," the intermediary said.

"Say." A word came out of the tall woman's mouth coldly.

"To tell you the truth, a person was killed by a chainsaw during the renovation of this house, so it is said to be haunted. Although your house is opposite the door, I still have to make it clear to you in advance. It's okay to be haunted. People trust her, but I think I would rather trust her than trust her, don't you think so?" The intermediary said nonchalantly, maybe because the other party is a beautiful woman, his attitude was much more sincere than when he treated Lin Yi during the day.

"Ghost? If it dares to come, I'll chop it to death." The tall woman said coldly, took the key and walked into the room, closing the door behind her, leaving the agent standing at the door dumbfounded.

This woman is quite tough! Lin Yi was secretly stunned when he heard that. Because cultivators are powerful, they are not as afraid of ghosts as ordinary people. But female cultivators are still women after all. Even if they are powerful, they cannot change some women's habits, such as being afraid of insects, and others. Said he was afraid of ghosts.

However, this female cultivator is obviously an exception. She speaks and acts coldly and domineeringly, without any hint of weakness.

"Looks like I need to find a chance to talk to this little cold girl." Lin Yi held his chin and muttered. It was not that he coveted the beauty of the other party. With the situation that he has so many confidantes now, beauty is generally not for him. He said that he had no feelings at all. Even if the other party was really beautiful, he would not feel too amazing.

The reason why this idea came up was entirely because of the opponent's strength. Such a master in the early stage of foundation building suddenly appeared. Lin Yi would never believe it if he said that he had nothing to do with the two masters in the early stage of foundation building.

However, Lin Yi didn't plan to come to the door immediately to ask. This little cold girl was not easy to talk to at first sight, and now that she was injured, she must be extra wary of strangers. Under such circumstances, going to the door to ask about such things is tantamount to asking for trouble. eat.

What's more, Lin Yi's current strength recovery is far from enough. He is only at the peak of the late heaven level. Although it is not a problem to deal with an injured master in the early stage of foundation building, he cannot really scare the opponent. The most important thing for Lin Yi now is to continue to recover. With his strength, he didn't want to fight anyone unless it was absolutely necessary.

Therefore, if you want to ask questions, you must have a suitable opportunity. Otherwise, asking forcefully will only be counterproductive.

When there was no movement at the opposite door, Lin Yi pushed the door open and went to the canteen downstairs to ask someone, only to learn that there were no night food stalls nearby, only in the downtown area.

Fortunately, Lin Yi was extremely fast. It would take half an hour for others to ride an electric bike, but he arrived in less than five minutes. This included the time it took to find someone to ask for directions, otherwise it would have been faster than this.

As expected, the food stalls at night were indeed bustling with people. All kinds of people gathered here, drinking beer, eating barbecue, and bragging and venting a few words. If you want to listen, you only need to stay here for a couple of days. When you are young, you can know absolutely everything.

From national affairs to neighborhood gossip, it was all over the place. Lin Yi didn't even need to take the initiative to talk to anyone. He just sat there and ate something casually, knowing everything he needed to know.

The first thing that can be confirmed is that there is no chaos in the secular world. At least there is no chaos in the social order on the surface. From this, it can be inferred that there is no chaos in the cultivators hidden under the social order. Otherwise, if there is really no chaos If the chaos gets out of hand, social order will inevitably be affected, and it will not be as calm as it is now.

In other words, there is no large-scale conflict between these emerging masters of the Tiandao period and the original cultivation forces in the secular world. There are only two explanations for this. Either there are very few people who know about their existence, or these Tiandao period The master has reached a certain consensus with those hidden aristocratic families and ancient sects, and their relationship with each other is not hostile.

No matter which of the two situations it is, it is not bad for Lin Yi. As long as there is no large-scale conflict, it means that Song Lingshan and the others should not encounter any trouble for the time being. After all, so many people are because of themselves. The relationship between them is closely linked, and any incident will alarm everyone. By then, the Mysterious Investigation Bureau and so many aristocratic sects will be in chaos, and it will not be as peaceful as it is now.

After deducing this news, Lin Yi can finally feel a little more relieved. Although he still has to find a way to figure out the origins and intentions of these Tiandao masters, at least it is not as urgent as previously expected. He can wait until An Xin regains his strength before making plans. .

In addition, Lin Yi also figured out his current location. This is a small county town in the southwest. It is a county-level city called Xima City. It is almost separated from Donghai City by the entire China. Normally far.

Moreover, the transportation here is not very developed. There is no airport or train station. If you want to travel far, you have to take a bus to the nearby prefecture-level city, where there is an airport and train station.
