Beauty and the Bodyguard

8469 Chapter 8468-

He’d solve it on the spot if he could, but if he couldn ‘t, he’d record the details and pass it on to Lin Yi for him to decide what to do next.

Lin Yi let the two come because he wanted to train them, mainly Zhang Yiming. Fei daqiang was just a sidekick, the type that would hit on the right time.

“Gentlemen, how’s my father’s condition?”

Ling Yingying followed beside him, looking a little nervous.

This time, she did not manage to find the spirit Ice Spirit-clearing grass in Lin Tong city. Fei daqiang and Zhang Yiming were her last hope.

If the two of them couldn’t cure her father, she really didn’t know what to do.

Even if there were other methods, they didn’t have the time to look for them, because Ling Yingying’s father’s condition had reached a point where they couldn’t delay any longer.

The sacrificial altar was indeed effective, but there would always be a limit. After reaching the limit, the sacrificial altar would not be able to maintain her primordial spirit!

“Um … Don’t worry, miss Ling. We still need time to observe carefully before we can make a judgment.”

Fei daqiang sneaked a glance at Zhang Yiming and saw that he was focused. He frowned and answered seriously,””Your father’s situation is a little complicated, and we can’t make a conclusion easily. So, please don’t be impatient, miss Ling!”

“I was too impetuous!”

Ling Yingying lowered her head and admitted her mistake. She suppressed the anxiety in her heart and prepared to patiently wait for the results of the two.

At that moment, the sound of an argument came from outside the door!

“Dodge! This young master wants to see my father, and you dare to stop me!”

“Please calm down, young master. The person brought by miss is diagnosing master. Please wait for a moment!”

This was the Guard’s doing. They had done their duty and were afraid of disturbing the treatment inside, so they braced themselves to stop him.

Ling Yingying’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. She excused herself from Fei daqiang and Zhang Yiming, turned around, and left the altar.

A young man standing outside the door raised his hand and was about to hit the guard. When he saw Ling Yingying coming out, he immediately sneered.

“Yingying, you’re really impressive. With just one order, even your brother was stopped outside father’s door! Let’s not talk about this, where did you find this charlatan, how could you casually bring him here to diagnose father?”

The young man was probably Ling Yingying’s older brother, so he didn’t bother to be polite.”If something happens, can you bear the responsibility? Furthermore, have you thought about the consequences if they spread the news of father’s illness?”

“Big brother, I know very well what I’m doing. I don’t need you to teach me! This time, I went to Lin Tong city to collect the spirit ICE Clear spirit grass, but I didn’t succeed. Fortunately, I met these two masters in the field of divine sense. It wasn’t easy for me to ask them to come over and help me. I hope big brother won’t make a mistake!”

Ling Yingying’s expression was cold. Although she called him big brother, she didn’t seem to have any intention of getting close to him. It seemed like the relationship between the two of them wasn’t that close.

“Impudent! Yingying, you’re getting more and more unruly! You dare to use this kind of person who you don’t know anything about? Taking a step back, even if they didn’t have any problems, would just a spiritual awareness expert be useful? That’s so laughable!”

Ling Yingying’s brother narrowed his eyes and growled,”You didn’t consider this matter properly. However, now is not the time to talk about this. I will settle the score with you later. Quickly call the person out and drive him away!”

“Big brother! They are treating father, I hope …”

“Hope my ass! Ling Yingying, I hope you understand why father ended up in this state today. ”

The eldest brother raised his voice and shouted angrily,”if it wasn’t for you, would so many things have happened?” I was polite to you before, and you took it as a blessing, right? Hurry up and get lost! Don’t be so hypocritical!”

Ling Yingying’s expression darkened, not because of her brother’s scolding, but because those words had touched her sore spot.

However, Fei daqiang and Zhang Yiming weren’t done yet. No matter how upset Ling Yingying was, she wouldn’t give in!

Thus, Ling Yingying immediately opened her arms and blocked the door. She bit her lip and glared at her big brother. She didn’t say a word, nor did she retreat.

A trace of hostility flashed across the elder brother’s face, but he held back and didn’t make a move. After all, there were outsiders present, and it would be a big joke if news of the siblings ‘internal strife spread.

“Ling Yingying, while I’m still talking to you, you better know your place. Don’t force me to do it! To tell you the truth, I’ve already invited the Ouyang family’s patriarch to treat father. He’s in the front hall and is coming this way, so don’t get in my way!”

The eldest brother suppressed the anger in his heart, narrowed his eyes, and warned in a deep voice,””It’s a great honor that the Ouyang family head is willing to come. How can the charlatan you brought be compared to the Ouyang family head? If you don’t get them out of here, you’ll be humiliating the Ouyang family head. Do you think these charlatans can be on equal footing with the Ouyang family head?”

The Ling clan was one of the top clans in the AO Qian conferred Empire, and the Ouyang clan was also one of the top clans in the AO Qian conferred Empire. The strength of the two clans was almost the same, and they were both great Clans of the Empire.

There was competition and cooperation between the two families. Because of their equal family status, marriage was common.

After so many years, there were many girls from the Ouyang family in the Ling residence. Similarly, the Ouyang family had married many young ladies from the Ling family.

Of course, those who were connected by marriage were not the direct descendants, but the branch families.

This was because these big families all knew that direct descendants were usually married to higher levels to obtain greater benefits, or they were directly nurtured as the family’s successor without marriage.

However, this relationship was already deeply intertwined, and it was difficult to clearly explain what was going on between the two families.

However, it was undeniable that Ling Yingying wasn’t qualified to stop the Ouyang family master!

“Big brother, Mr. Fei and Mr. Zhang are not charlatans. They are honored guests that I have spent a lot of effort to invite. Although the Ouyang family master’s status is noble, he can’t belittle the two gentlemen!”

Ling Yingying’s face was filled with anger as she argued.

However, she also felt that Fei daqiang and Zhang Yiming’s status couldn’t be compared with the Ouyang family’s master, so she didn’t have much confidence.

“Hehe … Ling Yingying, don’t be so shameless. If it weren’t for you, father wouldn’t be in this state. How dare you say that the charlatan you invited is an important guest? And you’re not even willing to let them make way for the Ouyang family head. What are you thinking?”

Ling Yingying’s elder brother sneered and was about to continue mocking her when an old woman with white hair and a white veil entered the courtyard. She was followed by four young maids.

“Alright, it’s improper for two siblings to quarrel all day! Be quiet!”

The old woman’s deep voice emitted a majestic aura, causing Ling Yingying and her sister to bow in apology.

“Greetings, grandmother!”

The two siblings temporarily put aside their quarrels and saluted the old woman. It turned out that this old woman was their grandmother, the mother of the middle-aged man inside.
