Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1414 – Chen Yutian’s Sigh

“Yes, that’s good that you did that.” Shuixing nodded.

“This way House Chen wouldn’t be able to say anything about me. Since we’ve both lost something. Plus, if House Chen wants revenge, they could just bring it up in the meeting, and if they want to challenge us we’ll take the fight! Though they wouldn’t have any fights in the first place!” Yu Feng continued.

“Oh?” Shuixing’s eyes lit up. “Right, Yu Feng, you’ve done well this time! Haha, now that I think about it, this is a good chance for us House Yu- not only will we get out of this Scott free, but we’ll also let other people think that it was us who got screwed over!”

“What do you mean?” Yu Feng paused.

“In the meeting. I’ll accuse House Chen of causing trouble to House Yu, and push all the blame to them! We already have a marriage alliance with them, so how come they went with someone from the Chen family? It’s also the fault of the Chen son, why was he going with someone else’s fiance? This is a severe mistake on their part, and this way, what you did to Chen Yutian is no different from what a husband would do if he caught someone with his wife. you’re the fiance of Song Lingshan, and what you did was justified! There’s nothing House Chen can do, other than apologize to us!”

“Haha, you’re a genius, father! This way, House Chen won’t be able to do anything, or even complain!” Yu Feng relaxed as well, glad.

“Yes- plus, you’ve also put away a Mystic of House Chen, this is a great accomplishment! We would be threatened if they had a Mystic, after all!” Shuixing said. “But, the meeting is coming soon- don’t stay in Songshan anymore. Come back to Yanjing as soon as possible and don’t show yourself outside! What we should worry about now is the Chens going crazy and hiring someone to get you!”

“Alright, I’ll go back now!” Yu Feng nodded his head, remembering that Lin Yi seemed to have a good relationship with Yutian’s sister. It’d be bad if she started going crazy and making Lin Yi stand up for her!

After the meeting ended, Yu Feng would have nothing to fear anymore. The meeting was a place where the conflicts were taken care of from all the houses, and it was all settled there. If a matter wasn’t resolved, it would be akin to the house giving up on it- if one were to bring up a past conflict in the next meeting this would be a violation of the committee’s rules, and they’d make an enemy of all the houses and even get kicked out!

Yu Feng had already gotten on a plane to Yanjing and in the hospital. Yutian had just gotten pushed out of the emergency operation room, his body and leg all bandaged up. He’d also woken up as well since he had a will on a completely different level from a normal person.

“Yutian Bro, how are you?” Longshan said, worried as she stood outside the operation room. She went over once he came out.

“Lingshan, I’m fine…” Yutian said as he looked at Lingshan’s worried face, feeling touched and also bitter at the same time. He knew that Lingshan cared for him, but also knew that that was the care of a friend- there was no romance in it!

“Yutian Bro, you didn’t have to back then…” Lingshan took a deep breath. Yutian was saying that it was fine, but one look at that bitter smile on his face and she knew that this injury was not a simple one. Plus, a spiritual practitioner with his nerves damaged was the same as one crippled- he wouldn’t be able to go back on the path of practitioning again!

Even if someone in Yutian’s position were to recover, he’d lose his strength- managing to keep it at Golden class was already a miracle! Wanting to break through into Mystic again was something near impossible unless they had a legendary pill like the nerve opening pill. That pill, however, was only something the hidden houses have- the normal houses wouldn’t have it at all.

“Lingshan, it looks like I managed to be a man this time!” Yutian said, a little proud when he thought of that. “I’m hurt, but at least that Yu Feng won’t be bothering you in the future anymore- it was worth it!”

“Thank you…” Lingshan said. “Yutian Bro, you’re a good person, but in terms of romantic feelings, I can’t force it…”

Yutian had already given so much for her, and Lingshan had to say something about it, otherwise, it wouldn’t be right. She didn’t’ have feelings for him, and she could only say that she’d find some other way to repay him!

“Ha, I know!” Yutian interrupted her words. He knew that Lingshan had friend-zoned him, but he had already looked past that. “Lingshan, let’s not talk about this right now- Lin Yi is a good friend of mine, and also my mentor. My strength also came from him, and was lost because of him- it’s nothing, just pretend I’ve never had it. I might not go back to Mystic anymore, but Golden is good enough…”

Yutian wasn’t worried about himself- House Chen really would have a hard time with this incident, it might be over for them!

“But House Chen… And Grandpa Chen…” Lingshan was still feeling troubled. Yutian didn’t say anything, but she understood that House Chen really was in big trouble- they might be cut out from the noble houses’ committee! The only way was if House Song and House Chen to have a marriage alliance nad keep their position, but Lingshan couldn’t accept that…

Yutian sighed, disappointed. “I’m also worried about that… I don’t know how sad grandpa will be when he hears this news… I’ve just told him about me breaking through into Mystic, too- he laughed for three whole minutes!”

“Other than the nerve opening pill, is there any other way to get your strength back?” Lingshan had decided by her own that, no matter what the cost, she needed to find some way to get Yutian back to his strength!

“There is one… House Sun… I hear that House Sun’s practitioner’s arts is a support and healing type, and can repair the damaged nerves of a practitioner… But most of Houe Suns’ members are only on the first stage, and they would only be able to heal one person, not a second… This means that once they use it, they can’t use it for someone else anymore, so… They probably wouldn’t do that for me…” Yutian smiled bitterly. “Unless, House Chen and House Sun get into a marriage alliance, but… House Sun wouldn’t be interested in House Chen…”
