Beauty and the Bodyguard

“Let’s talk about something?” Yu Ning hesitated before she opened her mouth to break the silence.

“What is there to talk about?” Lin Yi opened his eyes.

Truth be told, Yu Ning was indeed a girl who can make your heart move. Especially for Lin Yi, these past few years, she was the first woman that he was alone with for a while- aside from the time when he was with Xiao Qi, who was still quite young. As for Lin Yi, that memory was somewhat obscured.

However, Lin Yi was a very principled person. Yu Ning was his employer and Lin Yi would never cross that line to ruin each other’s working relationship, it just was not consistent with Lin Yi’s style.

“You must have experienced a lot of interesting things, can you tell me about it?” Lin Yi’s alertness and decisiveness made Yu Ning deeply curious. Yu Ning thought to herself, he must be someone with a story. Although they looked the same age, they lived different lifestyles.

“No,” Lin Yi was very flat and refused to answer Yu Ning.

Yu Ning was a little annoyed. How can this person be so dense? Watching Lin Yi close his eyes again, Yu Ning stood up and spun around. It was just too boring to stare at Lin Yi’s poker face!

“Don’t go far,” Lin Yi didn’t open his eyes, but spoke to Yu Ning.

“Okay!” Yu Ning snorted and answered Lin Yi as she ran out of the cave.

Lin Yi didn’t bother to stop her, there was no imminent danger in the vicinity. The armed militants shouldn’t be able to find the area so fast. So Lin Yi didn’t stop Yu Ning from leaving. Lin Yi felt relieved!

It was his first time alone with a beautiful girl, Lin Yi had suppressed his urges for a long time. Unconsciously, he felt a tingly sensation. Even if Lin Yi know Yu Ning’s identity, he couldn’t deny the biological effects like his increased heartbeat!

With a beauty nearby, it was hard for Lin Yi’s young friend to not feel flustered. It was hard for him to calm himself down, and the affect was not great! A nice girl is hard to find. At this moment, Lin Yi’s state of mind was not as calm as it would be two years later. In the end, he was also a normal man.

Lin Yi closed his eyes to meditate. Perhaps it was due to interacting with Yu Ning too often, but in the wilderness, a lonely boy and girl, it was easy for mistakes to happen. It was something that Lin Yi wished to happen, but logically, he had to suppress himself.

Moreover, Lin Yi thought about it very clearly. She was the one that would be settling for him, the gem of a large family name, and what was his status? He was only a bodyguard. To date a princess? How unrealistic was that?

Yu Ning ran out of the cave, but she didn’t get too far. She didn’t want to bring Lin Yi anymore trouble, she was just making a snowman!

House Yu was a large and mysterious family. The reason why it could prosper and become the leader of the hidden Houses was that there were secrets that no one can know! She was the inheritor of House Yu. She was designated to be the inheritor by House Yu’s Ancestor.

It was one of the reasons why she can’t practice cultivation. Her blood was sacred, she existed to claim the inheritance!

According to House Yu’s Ancestral teaching, Yu Ning must begin her life trial at the age of 16. Only by passing the trials, could she accept the inheritance! During the trials, she had to do it alone or the value behind the trial would be lost!

Of course, these were House Yu’s top secrets. Yu Ning didn’t even know herself. She just knew that her blood was not compatible for cultivation, and the family sent her out alone so that she could adapt and hone herself to become a useful person!

Members of House Yu didn’t have to cultivate, but there had to be a leader. Yu Ning’s grandpa had revealed that he had planned to have Yu Ning to take over the family business. So all the hardship that Yu Ning was experiencing was for her to become more able in handling House Yu’s business in the future.

Of course, if they weren’t cultivators, then they couldn’t become House Yu’s House Leader. They would be responsible for taking care of House Yu’s business ventures. That role was no different than being a housekeeper. That status was only second to the owner!

Even Yu Ning was kept in the dark about the high expectations from her House. She was House Yu’s hope for this generation. If she could get the inheritance of House Yu’s Ancestor then House Yu had hope to rise to the peak and surpass hidden Houses and even ancient martial sect!

Even if these were just legends, people from House Yu couldn’t confirm if the inheritance would be successful. House Yu’s Ancestor also wouldn’t lie to their descendants no matter, so it was good to have hope!

House Yu couldn’t be considered an ancient martial sect, but the House Yu’s ancestor discovered an ancient ruin. On the ancient ruin, it was there that they discovered that it could transfer ancient martial arts. However, it came with a certain defect of going insane. The power was too much for one to control. Even so, House Yu still became the leader of the hidden Houses!

According to House Yu’s Ancestor’s investigation on the ancient ruins, he discovered that the reason why he went insane was because it was the combined martial arts of two different types of martial arts! One style was like fire, the other style was like water. It was too incompatible to coexist in the body of one cultivator which would definitely lead to the practitioner going insane! The main point was that the guardian style were females, and the House Yu’s ancestor was a male!

By the time House Yu’s Ancestor figured that out, it was too late. Before he passed away, he had hoped that he can spread the secret of the ancient ruins to his descendants onto a newborn girl!

Yu Ning was playing with snow on the ground. After making a snowman, she wrote ’01’ on it. Then, she formed the snowman’s face into a poker face. After doing all this, Yu Ning couldn’t resist laughing loudly!

Lin Yi was pulled back into reality with Yu Ning’s laughter. The noise made Lin Yi to lose focus! At this age, his resistance to the female gender was very low. Lin Yi didn’t want to think too much about Yu Ning because it would bring up some prohibited thoughts…

With eyes wide, Lin Yi frowned and scolded, “What are you laughing about?”

“Haha, come take a look?” Yu Ning pointed at her creation as she looked at Lin Yi in the eye.

Lin Yi walked out of the cave to see the snowman. He couldn’t help, but smile. He didn’t think that Yu Ning would make a snowman, it was quite the image!

“It’s a looker,” Lin Yi replied.

“Of course, I am a natural, this is the creation of a genius!” Yu Ning was happy that she got Lin Yi’s compliment.

Once Lin Yi said those words, he turned back into the cave. In Lin Yi’s heart, he had to be on alert and objective. He warned himself that he couldn’t get too close to her, because if anything happened, then Old Lin would have his head!

When Lin Yi left after glancing it once, Yu Ning was slightly frustrated. After working for half a day on creating her snowman, it was described with only three words ‘It’s a looker’. Yu Ning vented it out on the snowman, smashing the snowman into pieces.
