Beauty and the Bodyguard

Soon everyone got up one after another and got out of the tent. Lin Yi stretched his muscles refreshed and felt funny when he saw Hei Yehua coming out listlessly with two dark circles under his eyes.

"Sister Kurono, what's wrong with you? You're in a bad mood! Did you not get a good rest last night?"

Lin Yi deliberately pretended not to know anything and sent his concern and greetings.

"Master Sima, you forgot that Hei Yehua was on duty last night, so it's normal that he didn't get a good rest! I originally wanted to take shifts, but I didn't expect that no one came to wake me up until dawn. I'm really sorry for Hei Yehua! "

Ling Hanxue glanced at Hei Yehua with a smile. She didn't hate Hei Yehua, but she couldn't say she liked him, so she didn't have any scruples about what she said.

"Oh, yes, Sister Kurono worked hard last night. Come, come, eat more and replenish your energy! We can return to Luling City today and have a good rest then!"

Lin Yi looked suddenly enlightened and asked Hei Yehua to sit down and eat.

Wu Yucao had already distributed the food for everyone, and when Lin Yi sat down, he naturally handed over his portion.

Lin Yi took it over without being polite, and started eating it. The newborn body is still very weak and needs a lot of nutritional supplements, so Lin Yi is not picky about food and likes to eat anything that is good for the body!

The black wild flower agreed in a daze, and after sitting down, he didn't eat much, just took a few bites and called it a day.

"Sister Kurono, what's wrong with you? Have you lost your appetite? I know some medical skills, why don't you let me diagnose you?"

Lin Yi continued to care about Hei Yehua, as if nothing happened last night.

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine if I go back to Luling City and have a good rest."

Kuronohana braced herself and said with a forced smile: "Everyone, let's set off soon. Go back early and complete the task early."

At this time, Hei Yehua was still extremely entangled in her heart, and she was deeply trapped in the whirlpool of Lin Yi and her family.

If the plant attributes were stripped from Lin Yi for the sake of the family, once successful, Lin Yi would be disabled at worst, or dead at worst. The consequences would be too serious!

Although the ambiguity last night was just an act, and maybe there was a little bit of Hei Yehua's own inner feelings, it was not important. What was important was that after passing through the Green Demon Valley and his party, Hei Yehua felt that she and Lin Yi were partners of life and death. It is not in line with Kuronohana's true intentions for his partner to stab him in the back.

However, the revival of the family is an obligation that cannot be refused. For the sake of the family, sacrificing an outsider like Lin Yi seems to be understandable...

Hei Yehua now felt that he was one step ahead of two others, and he really had no way to make the final decision. In desperation, he could only deceive himself and said that Lin Yi was too strong and there was no good opportunity to fully grasp, so he would rather not take action!

Hei Yehua, who was struggling with conflicts in her heart, did not notice that there was a hint of meaning in Lin Yi's eyes when he looked at her. At this time, she had indeed lost her original keen sense in deep thought.

"Okay, let's pack up and go! Target Luling City!"

Lin Yi smiled faintly, then stood up to pack the tent, while Wu Yucao and others also did the same.

A few minutes later, a group of five people boarded the Black Spirit Horse and began to return to Luling City.

"Everyone, please be careful. Although no one came to attack last night, it does not mean that it will be safe today. Please be more vigilant!"

Lin Yi warned on the horse, and then rushed out at the lead.

Those men in black yesterday should be Han Tieyi's back-up team. After being killed by Lin Yi, it is estimated that no more masters will come to intercept them in a short period of time, so he could be so relaxed last night.

However, in addition to the people on Han Tieyi's side, there may be other forces coveting Black Yaojing. They may encounter several interceptions before returning to Luling City!

Fortunately, Lin Yi is not too worried. Based on his current recovery status, as long as martial masters who are not above the Nascent Soul stage come in a group, there will basically not be much danger!

Sure enough, they met a group of fifteen Taoist robbers halfway along the way. They were quite arrogant at first, bullying Lin Yi because there were few people on his side. However, these people were nothing more than a large number of people. Not even a Golden Core stage warrior was there. No, Lin Yi didn't even bother to show up.

Wu Yucao just showed a little bit of strength, and the team of fifteen people immediately collapsed!

Within the scope of Luling City, the warriors of the Golden Core stage are already the overlords, not to mention Wu Yucao, a master who is at the peak of the late Golden Core stage and has already half-stepped into the Great Perfection of the Golden Core!

After this little episode, the road went much smoother. Maybe the news got out. Although there were other teams on the road later, when they saw Lin Yi and the others from a distance, they just ran away. This saves a lot of worry. !

As for Han Tieyi's pursuers, they did not appear again as Lin Yi expected. There may be fish that slipped through the net, but their strength is not enough to threaten Lin Yi, so they simply don't ask for trouble. !

Back at Luling City, before entering the city gate, Jin Yuanbao led someone to welcome him out!

"Hahahaha, Brother Sima! Zhongda! I didn't expect you to come back so soon! Brothers, I have prepared a celebration banquet for you, hurry up and get going!"

Jin Yuanbao laughed and ran over to greet Lin Yi, looking at him as if he wanted a big hug.

But later, I still didn't dare to make a mistake, so I could only switch to the ordinary cup of hands and fists, and then conveniently hooked Lin Yi's shoulders!

"How does Brother Jin know that I am back now? Or does Brother Jin wait for me at the city gate every day? That will really make me feel flattered!"

Lin Yi had a good impression of Jin Yuanbao and joked casually while returning the gift.

"Hahaha, Brother Sima is really good at joking. I would like to wait for you at the city gate every day, but it's a pity that I don't have that much time!"

Jin Yuanbao didn't show any pretense, and said with a cheerful smile: "Brother Sima, the news of your return has reached Luling City early in the morning. I also heard the news, so I figured it was almost time before I came over to greet you!"

"So, the news of our return has been spread? I didn't expect that there are so many people paying attention to us!"

A sarcastic smile appeared on Lin Yi's lips. If it were an unrelated person, who would pay special attention to his whereabouts and spread the news back to Luling City?

It seems that there should be many people in Luling City who have thoughts about them!

"Brother Sima, what's the point of talking about those annoying little things? Let's go eat quickly! Let's talk while we eat if we have anything to say!"

Jin Yuanbao was already familiar with him, and after having interacted with Lin Yi several times, he was now like an old friend for more than ten years. He didn't regard Lin Yi as an outsider at all. As he talked, he put his arm around Lin Yi's shoulder and walked towards the city. .
