Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 4951: Resolving the grudges in the Academy

Translator: 549690339

There was a saying,”one should stay far away from others in fear.” It could also be understood as “one should be afraid of those who are far away.” When dealing with big shots like Zhuang Yifan, if one wanted to maintain an equal cooperative relationship, one had to keep a sufficient distance. Otherwise, once they got too close, it was easy to be reduced to being the other party’s vassal. At that time, they would be completely passive, and it would be difficult to have much say.

If they were further away from each other, they would still be allies on equal footing. Zhuang Yifan had to be polite to others in everything, but once they were close, he would become the other party’s underling. If the boss wanted his underling to help, did he still have to be polite to others? That was only natural!

“Since that’s the case, I won’t force you. Master Lin has helped me a lot this time. I’ll remember this and repay you generously.” Zhuang Yifan nodded solemnly and suddenly asked,”Master Lin, I’ve seen a Mystic first level Alchemist before, but I’ve never heard of one forming pills in a day. I’m afraid that Master Lin isn’t just a Mystic first level Alchemist, right?”

Lin Yi couldn’t help but chuckle to himself-Zhuang Yifan’s reaction was exactly the same as Qing Danzi ‘s, except that the pill he made was a level Seven recover pill, and was suspected to be Mystic first class. Now, he was making Mystic first class, and was suspected to be Mystic second class again …

Of course, this was a wonderful misunderstanding. Lin Yi would be too naive if he denied it on the spot. It was better to be as powerful as possible when dealing with people like Zhuang Yifan. After all, the value of a Mystic second level Alchemist was much higher than that of a Mystic first level!

But Lin Yi wasn’t stupid enough to just admit that he was Mystic second level-that would be enough to scare people off, but what if the guy just offered to help him make the pill?

Lin Yi was only able to make Mystic first level at the moment-trying Mystic second level might not even be enough!

“I’m flattered. I’m still trying to break through to Mystic second grade. ” Lin Yi said with a mysterious smile.

His answer was absolutely fantasizing. Although it was the truth, those who didn’t know would think that he was being humble. His answer was like filling up a hole. Zhuang Yifan couldn’t possibly ask someone who was trying to break through to Mystic second level to make a Mystic second level pill, could he?

“I knew it. Master Lin’s voice is extraordinary. I must have been blind.” Zhuang Yifan was filled with respect-a Mystic first level Alchemist was already on par with him, and if he were a Mystic second level Alchemist, he’d be too embarrassed to be on the same level as him. He’d have to at least be at the back.

“You’re too kind, you’re still a step away from Mystic second level. President Zhuang knows that at this level, there’s always a barrier that’s hard to overcome. It’s so close yet so far, and it’s possible that you’ll never be able to cross it in your entire life. There’re already too many examples like this to raise. ” Lin Yi was still acting very “humble.”

“Yes, yes. But that’s for other people. For a rare genius like you, Master Lin, the so-called barrier is just a matter of time.” Zhuang Yifan had used the honorifics in his excitement, and his mind was suddenly set on something. If Lin Yi could really become a Mystic second level Alchemist, it would be a huge temptation for him.

With his current strength at the late stage of earth-splitting, if it wasn’t for the accident that happened when he tried to break through to the peak of the late stage of earth-splitting, he wouldn’t need a Mystic level one elixir like the earth strengthening pill under normal circumstances. Only a Mystic level two elixir could help him advance further.

This was supposed to be a long way off-he, Zhuang Yifan, even had to rack his brains to find a Mystic first level Alchemist, what more a Mystic second level?

But Lin Yi’s appearance gave him hope-he wasn’t a Mystic second level, but if Lin Yi could make the earth strengthening pill in one day, it meant that he wasn’t far from Mystic second level!

Lin Yi smiled noncommittally and changed the topic,”President Zhuang, Speaking of which, I have something I need your help with.”

“Oh? Master Lin, please give me your instructions. I’ll definitely do as you say. ” Zhuang Yifan didn’t try to avoid Lin Yi’s request, his eyes lit up. He was still worried that he didn’t have enough favors for Lin Yi. After all, it was very expensive to hire a future Mystic class second level Alchemist. If he didn’t have enough favors, what if Lin Yi rejected him?

“Alright, President Zhuang is the most suitable person for this. I won’t stand on ceremony.” Lin Yi nodded and pointed at Liu Ziyu and Li Ren, “I’m sure you’re aware of the grudges between the morning stars Academy and the pride of dawn Academy, President Zhuang. I have a good relationship with these two academies, so it’s not easy for me to be stuck in the middle. I’d like to ask you to come forward and talk to them so that they can forget their past grudges and reconcile. I wonder if it’s convenient for you, President Zhuang?”

“That’s a good thing. I’m most willing to be a peacemaker for both schools. I’ve heard about the situation between the two schools. It’s been so many years. I think they should have made peace long ago. Master Lin is indeed a wise man!” Zhuang Yifan readily agreed and actively expressed his opinion,”How about this? after the end of the road to becoming a Big Shot trial, I’ll personally go to the two academies. I believe no one will refuse to give me face, right?”

“President Zhuang, you’re joking. It would be a great honor for our Academy if you could come personally. With your words, no one in the Academy would disobey!” Liu Ziyu and Li Ren were flattered. They thought that Zhuang Yifan would only ask someone to pass on a message, but they didn’t think that he would agree to come in person. Lin Yi’s face was really big.

“Hehe, then I’ll have to trouble you, President Zhuang.” Lin Yi only smiled faintly, acting nonchalant about it. If he were to be as flattered as Liu Ziyu and Li Ren, he’d be putting on a false air of superiority.

“What are you saying? this is just a small matter. Master Lin, you’re too polite! Come, let’s drink!” Zhuang Yifan wanted to use this opportunity to get closer to Lin Yi. He kept on saying nice things and toasting to Lin Yi. Under his lead, the atmosphere was getting livelier and livelier. It really did feel like a celebration party.

Just as everyone was toasting each other, Bao zuoliang and su kesheng, who had sneaked out on their flying spirit beasts, had already appeared in ding town. They even appeared in the guest hall of the town Lord’s mansion as they had wished.

However, at this moment, the two of them were in a sorry state and were injured. Who asked them to break into the town Lord’s residence? they were lucky that they were not beaten to death by the guards of the town Lord’s residence.

“What kind of stupid ideas are you giving me? Directly challenging the steward of the town Lord’s residence to make trouble, how could he not be greeted with death? Look, my legs are about to be broken!” Bao zuoliang grumbled in a low voice. (To be continued.) ”
