Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1017 – Elder Jiao’s Explanation

Although, Golden Class End Phase Peak was already something extremely powerful in the common world. It was an extreme rarity.

But that didn’t help the Lin Yi now!

His enemies now all came from the noble houses, not the common world- they were all Mystic classes, and neither Uncle Fu nor General Weiwu could help him there!

He gave up. It seemed that this shortcut wasn’t possible after all- effort was still required.

Uncle Fu knew that Lin Yi must be terribly disappointed with the way he was sighing and shaking his head. He sighed as well,”Yi, I’ll go to Mister Chu’s company then. Will you be driving to school on your own?”

“Yeah, I’ll go myself,” Lin Yi said, “I’ll take a shower, you go first, Uncle Fu.”

“Alright,” Uncle Fu said, not worrying now that Lin Yi had regained his strength. He left the villa.

Lin Yi went back to his room and hastily went into the jade space to talk to Elder Jiao, “Elder Jiao, I thought my energy is all-powerful! How come I can’t turn Uncle Fu into an earth class? I can’t make Weiwu stronger, either?”

Lin Yi hadn’t thought of communicating with Elder Jiao before since he was hurrying to regain his strength, but now that he’d failed he had to ask.

“I’m not sure.” Elder Jiao said…

“I see…” Lin Yi smiled bittterly. Even Elder Jiao didn’t know?

“I’m not done,” Elder Jiao said, evidently not pleased by the interruption, “I have some guesses…”

“Please, Elder Jiao!” Lin Yi said.

“Your situation- I’m not sure, but I’ve seen something similar before,” Elder Jiao said slowly, “In some sects in the Wulin world, there are some secret techniques that passed on power- we can also call it passing inheritance, or an abhisheka!”

“Oh? Inheritance? Abhisheka?” Lin Yi blinked.

“Correct! It’s when an old practitioner, right before his death, passes on all of his practitioning onto his disciple using a secret technique, allowing his disciple to become stronger with great speed!” Elder Jiao said, “But, after that, the disciple will always be one level lower than his master, and would require training on his own part to reach his master’s strength.”

“Oh? One level lower…” Lin Yi thought about it.

“Yes. If all practitioners could just pass inheritance onto others, then their sect would be immensely strong, with an endless supply of masters! Other sects would fall!” Elder Jiao said, “But, despite all that, this kind of sect isn’t very big.”

“Hm… So Elder Jiao, you’re saying that I’m the same as this inheritance passing type?” Lin Yi nodded.

“It should be, more or less!” Elder Jiao said, “But, after you finish passing it on, you’re still able to regain your strength qucikly in the jade space- others can’t!”

“I see,” Lin Yi felt that this hidden card of his was a little like cheating.

“And so, since you’re just a Mystic, you’ll only be able to make a master one level lower than you, according to the logic of passing inheritance. Golden class end phase peak is the limit!”

“Man, should’ve talked with you earlier- I wouldn’t have to waste my energy on the experiments then,” Lin Yi said, knowing that what they had just concluded on was probably true.

“How would you know it wouldn’t work unless you tried it? It was only after seeing your experiment fail that I came up with this conclusion,” Elder Jiao said, “Otherwise, I would still be hoping for you to create an Earth phase yourself!”

“Yeah… But if Uncle Fu were to be able to enter the jade space that be nice…” Lin Yi said to himself.

But, Lin Yi quickly stoped that thought right as it came- even if there were other people who could enter this jade space, like Uncle Fu, he wouldn’t let him! After all, this was his final card, his trump card, and while Uncle Fu was trustworthy, this sort of secret would be better off kept from everyone except himself. It’d only add risk if he told anybody.

Lin Yi had sweated a lot during the experiment, and he had also given up on creating an Earth phase now that he had discussed with Elder Jiao. It wasn’t realistic- unless he had the strength of a sky class! Although, if he were a sky class, what was the point of mass creating earth classes?

Lin Yi took off his clothes and turned on his phone before showering.

He had switched it off earlier in case someone were to interrupt him. He wondered if anyone wanted to contact him during that time…

Donghai, Miracle Doctor Kang’s home.

Xiao Ji and Xiao Ben stood outside Miracle Doctor Kang’s villa, and in their hands were valuable gifts. They were here to visit.

Miracle Doctor Kang didn’t let them in right away upon hearing his servant’s report- he only gathered Kang Guifeng, Kang Cuipu, Kang Zhaolong, and Kang Zhaoming together to start a family meeting.

“House Xiao is here for Zhaolong’s marriage, this much is definite. Guifeng, what do you think?” Miracle Doctor Kang said to his eldest son.

“Father, far as I can tell, House Xiao is now like a beaten dog. Uncle Pi’s become a vegetable, and the Xiaos still owe Lin Yi a bunch of debt- the death of their house is close. We should stay away from them!” Guifeng said. From his angle, the Xiaos had lost their value completely!

Miracle Doctor Kang nodded. He didn’t let the Xiaos enter because of that reason as well! House Xiao’s misfortunes were noted by him these days, after all, they were completely done for! They didn’t even feel like a noble house at this point, they weren’t even a normal big house!

To avoid putting it bluntly, House Xiao was still a noble house, but everyone knew that the next noble house meeting would end in House Xiao getting cut off! A fallen house no stronger than a regular rich house? It was impossible.

“Guifeng’s right- House Xiao is in a tragic state!” Miracle Doctor Kang said. “We wanted to use their strength to enter into the world of noble houses, but they can’t even handle themselves now! Not only will they be unable to provide us with any benefits, they still have a huge amount of debt on their shoulders- and this marriage alliance would only pull us into that debt as well! Cuipu, what are your thoughts?”

He looked at his second son.

“There is a saying, that a dead camel is still larger than a horse. House Xiao may not necessarily be completely useless, I think. If we were to merge together, House Xiao may still be able to maintain their position as a noble house, and we’d be the dominant party…” Cuipu was an uneducated man and so his ideas were a mess.
