Chapter 919: Enemies Scheming From All Sides

“Uncle Chu, even if you were to hire a bodyguard- it’s not like I could just lie around in this villa under protection forever,” Lin Yi said helplessly, “I need to eventually recover my strength! That’s why I’m resigning, it’s so that I can find out how!”

“Ah… You’re right! A man must have his sights set high!” Pengzhan nodded, “You won’t be able to recover in this villa?”

“It’d be hard, and I don’t have the method yet. I’d have to search for a way,” Lin Yi said.

“I understand- I won’t stop you anymore!” Pengzhan understood that Lin Yi had made up his mind- there was no need to say anything anymore.

“But, I hope that you’ll continue to treat this place as your home after you’ve left- a place for you to rest whenever you’re in trouble!”

“I will,” Lin Yi nodded, “I’ll always be good friends with Yao Yao and Shu!”

“Hah… Good,” Pengzhan kept it at that. He shouldn’t be butting into young people’s affairs too much, and now that things have turned out like this, there was little he could do other than give him his blessing, “Hope you regain your strength soon!”

“Thank you, Uncle Chu!” Lin Yi only smiled bitterly to himself. Recovery didn’t seem very likely anymore, and leaving the villa for his old man’s house was really just for its safehouse purposes. Recovering power like that wasn’t that easy.

Plenty of spiritual practitioners lose their abilities completely after receiving nerve injuries, and were left with little option than to practice physical martial arts instead, from square one.

Yet, with the wounds these people had, even going the physical route would prove to be a high challenge. Many of them only reach the end peak phase of the golden class, with no chance of breaking through for the rest of their lvies!

Strength through physical arts may seem easier to train at the beginning, but upon reaching a certain bottleneck threshold, the difficulty raises substantially. Training your body to the limit would slow down the improvement pace…

Those like Ma Zhu- unless they were full with latent talent and perfect composition- would never reach the same playing field!

Thinking about it, Ma Zhu must be in a much more dire state than him. Lin Yi’s nerves may have been cut off, but there was still the possibility of physical practitioning. Ma Zhu, on the other hand, would probably have to go home and work the fields.

“But, Uncle Chu… I feel that my enemies have already realized by now- that I’ve lost my strength. My thought is that you should quickly hire another bodyguard as my replacement, or there’d be trouble…” Lin Yi turned serious at the topic. “I am in conflict with many people, who are afterall, also your enemies as well. Many have their sights on me because of Yao Yao, but if they come and see my absence, I’m worried that they would turn on you and Yao Yao instead.”

“I’m aware of that!” Pengzhan nodded. “I’ve already contacted Uncle Fu’s sect junior- he has also worked as a bodyguard before, and is currently guarding a businessman since his employer’s away from the country right now. It’s a one time mission, so he will be able to come over upon its completion. He gave me the contact of a bodyguard company, as well- I’ll hire one from there for now.”

“Oh, what’s their class?” Lin Yi asked.

“I heard it was Mystic,” Pengzhan said.

“That should be enough. As long as it’s not too big of a grudge, he should be able to deter our enemies,” Lin Yi said after thinking. “When is he coming?”

“In these next two days,” Pengzhan said. “Today or tomorrow.”

“Okay, I don’t have to worry then!” Lin Yi nodded.

Having finished their discussion, Pengzhan first took his leave to deal with company matters, which had been keeping him busy these past few days. Lin Yi, on the other hand, guessed that the two misses were upstairs sleeping. They were lacking in sleep this past while, too.

Come the morning of the second day, Mengyao and Yushu came walking down holding hands, with the miss. It was not much different from how they usually were so Lin Yi didn’t think much of it.

“Lin Yi, when are you leaving?” Mengyao asked.

“These next two days, until Uncle Chu’s bodyguard arrives. I’ll leave after that,” Lin Yi said, feeling a little sour from the sadness.

“Oh. So you’re leaving from the villa?” Mengyao asked.

“I think so,” Lin Yi nodded.

“Then tell Shu and I- we’ll send you off,” Mengyao said.

“Okay,” Lin Yi looked at Mengyao a little oddly- she seemed to be a lot more composed, compared to yesterday?

In the villa area, House Xiao had already moved inside the newly purchased villa.

Xiao Jizheng glared at his wife Gou Huli, “Look what you’ve done! What kind of people have you been pissing off? Thank god I didn’t listen to you and sent Uncle Pi to Chu Pengzhan- or our House Xiao would be in deep shit right about now!”

“What’s wrong? This wasn’t even my idea, why are you blaming me?” Gou Huli said, feeling wronged, “Didn’t we investigate already, Chu Pengzhan only has a golden class end peak phase called Uncle Fu, a physical practitioner! Our Uncle Pi is a mid phase physical Mystic class!”

“Hmph, but Chu Pengzhan has one more master other than Uncle Fu! An early peak phase Mystic!” Xiao Ji said, “Good thing for us I visited the big fish here, Master Bin- otherwise we’d be going against them without knowing shit! An early peak spirtual practitioner is on the same level as a mid-phase physical practitioner, not to mention they’ve got a late phase golden class physical master on their side! We’d be suffering the losses!”

“Ah? That can’t be true, this Chu Pengzhan- isn’t he just a small businessman? How’s he got so much man power? You must have gotten something wrong?!” Gou Huli’s mouth gaped open, shocked and in disbelief.

“Hmph, as if Master Bin would make that mistake!” Xiao Ji said coldly, “That early phase Mystic is called Lin Yi, and he’s even responsible for breaking Maser Bin’s legs! You still think there’s a damn mistake? Master Bin hates him to the bone at his point, of course he knows what level he’s at!”

“No way, the guy beat Master Bin up? Does he have a death wish?” Gou Huli couldn’t keep her voice in from the shock.,”The what about me, did I suffer for nothing?”

“Then what do you think we should do? The guy has two masters, you think we’ll get off easy if we fight that?” Xiao Ji was actually feeling quite troubled as well, since he’d planned on squeezing out a large sum of money from Pengzhan- it’d have helped his business in Songshan quite a bit!

Only after doing his research did he know that Pengzhan had two big tigers with him!

It was at this moment that the second brother of House Xiao walked in on the raging Xiao Ji. He spoke with a smile, “Don’t worry, big bro- there’s no need to scold sis-in-law! I just received a big piece of news!”
