Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1164 – Also Hiding

So, this move only sent limited qi for a regular practitioner.

But LIn YI was different. He was able to compress his qi. That is, he could send more qi into someone’s body in the same amount of time, achieving a better effect than Grandpa Zhu’s. Lin Yi could use this move even on high-level practitioners!

The target could neutralize a bit of qi, but a bunch of qi would be really hard to counteract, not without a long period! After all, neutralizing another’s qi in your body like that was dangerous in the first place.

It was the same with Yao Wang. All those silver needles on him had LIn Yi’s compressed qi in them. Unless Yao Wang was of the same practitioner arts as him, he wouldn’t be able to do anything other than train himself to neutralize it bit by bit, or use some treasures or elixirs, or receive help from a more powerful master, but he had nothing!

He could only move around with a bunch of needles on him, unable to do anything about them.

But, what surprised Grandpa Zhu was the instant he sent his qi out!

Yufeng dodged his hand quickly, tilting his body as his eyes looked at him in shock. “Mystic late phase peak?”

“Mystic early phase peak?” Grandpa Zhu was shocked as well!

He wanted to punish him, but he didn’t expect this guy to be a practitioner too! Wasn’t this too much of a comedy. Did he meet a practitioner at Mystic class while picking up trash?

At the same time, he felt confused at Yufeng’s age, and he also became agitated and alert. He wasn’t afraid of his strength, but he was afraid that his cover would be blown! These years, he’d been ordered to stay with Chen Xi and her mother, hiding by their side. He’d done that without trouble, but now an accident occurred!

Chen Xi didn’t understand these class systems, so she didn’t understand what Yufeng meant. He calmed down, relaxing because of that.

“Kid, apologize to us, and we’ll let this go. Otherwise…Hmph!” Since the guy learned his strength level, there was no need for him to be gentle. He threatened coldly.

“Apologize? Which family are you from?” Yufeng wasn’t afraid, but he kept his eyes coldly on him. From what he could see, this old man must be from some powerful house, and he wouldn’t dare do anything if he told him he was from House Yu.

“What house are you from, then?” The grandpa frowned.

“House Yu!” Yufeng said proudly. “Better scram and not piss me off, otherwise… Hmph!”

“House Yu? Which House Yu?” Grandpa Zhu said flatly.

“Yanjing’s House Yu, never heard of it? The leader of the nine noble houses!” Yufeng said with a hmph.

“I thought it was the hidden House Yu- you’re talking about the common world’s House Yu!” Grandpa Zhu said flatly, ” Since you won’t apologize, I’ll have you taste this!”

With that, he slapped him across the face.

But, just before his palm connected, a voice interrupted. “Wait!”

“Lin Yi, Why’re you here?” Yufeng gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot.

The great Lin Yi was here once more! He almost spat out blood. It was already hard enough for an early Mystic peak like him to deal with a late phase peak, but Lin Yi coming out forced him to hide his strength again!

But, the one most troubled wasn’t Yufeng- it was Grandpa Zhu!

Hearing the words ‘Lin Yo’ froze him on the spot. He hid his strength instantly! After some research, he learned who this Lin Yi Chen Xi kept talking about was. He was thinking of how to stop him from causing trouble, but this encounter with him happened out of nowhere!

Lin Yi coming here was to test just what this Grandpa Zhu was- a Mystic late phase peak hiding by Chen Xi’s side was an absurd thing!

A Mystic class picking up trash? Either he had an interesting hobby, or he was insane!

Of course, the man didn’t look insane at all, and… A hobby? That didn’t make sense. Unless, of course, he had an ulterior motive!

Lin Yi tensed up and walked over.

“It’s nothing, I know this girl- Just wanted to ask if you could forgive her for me.” Lin Yi pointed at Chen Xi. The tone he said this made Yufeng unable to retort.

Yufeng knew that this wasn’t the time to cause trouble with Lin Yi, and he needed to listen to him here and give him face. “Fine, if he’s a friend of classmate Lin Yi’s, then I’ll let this go!”

“Okay, you guys continue then!” With that, Lin Yi pulled Chen Xi aside, his words clear. He knew this girl, but not that old man.

Yufeng paused, but he felt clear that the old man had retracted his strength as well! This made him a bit confused. He was afraid that he’d be exposed in front of LIn Yi, but did this old man fear the same?

Why would he hide his strength, then?

Grandpa Zhu’s eyes looked away, and he walked toward Lin Yi and Chen Xi, not wasting time on Yufeng. Yufeng, on the other hand, knew at that point that the old man didn’t want to be exposed as well.

He was telling him to taste his slap. After all, why would he drop everything like this?

One explanation- he had something going on with Lin Yi and was in the same situation as him, and he needed to hide his strength! He got excited all of a sudden as he stopped him. “Old man, don’t go- didn’t you say you wanted to slap me? Taste mine first!”

With that, he slammed his fist onto the old man’s back!

Grandpa Zhu didn’t expect that he wouldn’t let him go. He was pissed off, but he couldn’t abandon his task and expose himself! He gritted his teeth and suffered the blow without using qi.
