Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1532: I’ll give you a chance

The sect master knew of aunt Qing’s past-she knew that she’d suffered some setbacks in her love life when she was young, and so she valued men who valued relationships! “Aunt Qing,” the sect master said helplessly,”are you sure he wants the fruit to treat his girlfriend? From what I know, the fire Spirit’s fruit isn’t a herb, is it?”

The sect master’s heart was starting to relax-the fruit was precious, but since aunt Qing had said so, she couldn’t just reject her too much. She’d raised her up after all, and while they weren’t mother and daughter, they were closer than mother and daughter!

The sect master knew that aunt Qing was only discussing this with her out of respect for her-with her position in the Council, even if she just gave the fruit away, the Grand Elder would only be unhappy, but wouldn’t dare stop her.

And since aunt Qing had done this, how could the sect master not care about her face?

However, she didn’t know Ling Yi-she naturally didn’t trust a stranger! Plus, Ling one’s strength was just too weak in her eyes, too insignificant-he was only a little stronger than a mortal, and so the sect master’s promise to him was just a joke!

A rogue cultivator could find an Alchemist? When did alchemy become such a worthless profession? If he was from an ancient sect, it would be believable that he could find a pill master!

“I’m not sure about that, but it seems to be the case. He carried his girlfriend the whole time during the trial. This is enough to make me believe that what he said is true!” Qing said.

“Since he’s loyal, then tell him to stand at the door. If he can stand there for half a month without eating, drinking, or sleeping, then I’ll believe him!” “If not, then ask him to leave!” The sect master said.

“Half a month …” Qing Zhu smiled bitterly.”Palace Master, it’s fine if a Mystic doesn’t eat or sleep for three days, but half a month, isn’t that a bit too much? Although the spiritual Qi in our mountain is rich, even if he keeps on cultivating, the Qi He gets won’t be enough for his body to consume every day …”

“Aunt Qing, I’m just testing him-what if some random guy comes and says he’s going to save his girlfriend? if you’re kind enough, our entire Ice Palace won’t have enough to give him!” For once, the sect master joked in front of Qing.”When he can’t hold on any longer and faints, you can go and wake him up!”

…

“This … Is good!” Qing Zhu hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Seeing elder Qing’s figure, Lin Yi finally relaxed-it seemed that the Ice Palace couldn’t just ignore her!

“Ling Yi, why aren’t you leaving?” Little Qing’s figure floated over, and when she saw Ling Yi, she asked indifferently.

“Elder Qing has not agreed to my request, so I can only wait here! The fruit means a lot to my girlfriend, I don’t want to lose this chance. ” Lin Yi said respectfully.

“Alright, since you’re treating this as an opportunity, I’ll fulfill your wish!” Qing nodded and said in a serious tone.

“Senior, please speak!” Lin Yi thought that elder Qing would just leave after a few words like before, but she did! And so, while Lin Yi was overjoyed, he changed the way he addressed elder Qing to senior!

Of course, whether it was strength or age, Lin Yi didn’t mind calling her senior!

“You said that you want the fruit to cure your girlfriend, and that you’ll pay any price for it, is that right?” Little Qing asked.

“Yes, senior!” Lin Yi said without hesitation.

“Alright, then you can just stand here. I’ll come back in fifteen days-if you’re still here, it’ll be enough to show your sincerity. I’ll give you a chance to convince the sect master!” Qing didn’t want to show anything in front of Lin Yi, so she just used cold and formal words.

“Sure!” Lin Yi nodded.

“Remember, you have to stand here. You can’t rest!” “If you can’t do it, you can leave the mountain!” Qing said.

“I can do it!” Lin Yi said.

Qing Zhu nodded and left without saying anything.

Lin Yi’s heart was filled with excitement and joy. He knew that this was elder Qing’s hard work. She didn’t say it, but Lin Yi could feel it! They could only keep their gratitude for elder Qing in their hearts and have a tacit understanding with each other.

However, they had to stand here for half a month, and they weren’t allowed to rest or leave. Lin Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at this request! If the person standing here wasn’t Lin Yi but some other Mystic class master, they’d probably be dead in half a month, right?

Although elder Qing did not say that they were not allowed to eat and drink, since they were not allowed to leave, where else could they eat and drink? Who would carry a large amount of food with them for no reason? Every cultivator knew that the period of the trial was three days, so they only brought some elixirs to replenish their energy. However, they couldn’t bring too many. Half a month was definitely not enough!

Fortunately, Lin Yi had the Jade space and could go in to replenish his energy at any time. Not to mention half a month, even half a year wouldn’t be a problem!

Qing returned to the sect master’s room and replied,””Palace Master, he has agreed!”

“Alright, then let’s wait for him to back off.” The sect master nodded, returning to her usual calm self-there were other people in the room, and so she had to act like a sect master!

……………………

Lingshan brought Liu Wangli, Wang hekan, and the others to Jiwu town to see the two victims, as well as the statement that the local police had made.

From these things alone, it could be basically confirmed that the suspect was the same person as the previous cases. However, there was still no detailed conclusion on the appearance and characteristics of the suspect. This time, the suspect was also masked!

Song Lingshan asked the father and son who were selling roasted sweet potatoes, but she didn’t get any useful information.

“What did the other witnesses say?” Lingshan couldn’t find anything useful from the two victims, so she turned her attention to the witnesses.

“The other witnesses ‘accounts are almost the same as the father and son’ s, but a townsfolk said that after the suspect escaped, he seemed to have gotten into an SUV!” Zhao Yu said. One of the local officers in charge of the case introduced Lingshan to him,”Of course, it wasn’t the witnesses who saw this scene, but an old farmer who was a few hundred meters away from the scene! According to the old farmer, he saw a masked man running over in a hurry, then he got into an SUV by the side of the road and drove quickly in the direction of the highway!”
