Beauty and the Bodyguard

8518 Chapter 8517-

“Yes, father!”

Ling Yingying agreed and followed Ling lingjiu.””Your daughter will go with you. I want to see father save big brother Sima.”

Ling lingjiu looked at her daughter and smiled. She didn’t know what he was thinking, but after nodding in agreement, she brought Ling Yingying to the patrol.

As expected, the patrol envoy’s voice had just fallen when a subordinate came to report!

He said that Ling lingjiu had come to visit.

“My Lord, I will go out and deal with Ling lingjiu first. Please have a seat, my Lord. I think you will be able to return to the Academy very soon.”

The patrol envoy excused himself and left the secret chamber. He headed to the living room to meet Ling lingjiu.

In the living room, Ling lingjiu and Ling Yingying had already been waiting for 11 to 12 minutes.

Other than the servants who served tea, no one else came over to pay attention to them.

Ling Yingying was a little nervous. She asked Ling lingjiu in a small voice,””Father, is it because the patrol envoy doesn’t want to see us and is deliberately giving us the cold shoulder so that we will back off? Are you not willing to release big brother Sima?”

“Don’t worry, the patrol is busy. It’s only been a while, how can we see him the moment he comes? There must be some matters at hand that need to be dealt with first. Don’t be impatient, just wait quietly. ”

Ling lingjiu remained calm and wasn’t in a hurry at all. After lecturing Ling Yingying, she picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The moment the tea entered his mouth, the patrol envoy turned around from behind.

Ling lingjiu quickly swallowed the tea in her mouth and quickly put the teacup down. She stood up and cupped her hands.”Lord patrol envoy, this Ling has presumptuously come to visit, sorry to disturb.”

Ling Yingying also obediently followed suit.

The patrol envoy nodded his head with a cold expression and casually cupped his hands,””It’s an honor for master Ling and miss Ling to grace us with your presence. Please take a seat!”

Ling lingjiu pouted in her heart. ‘You look like I owe you a lot of money. Where is the honor?’

“Many thanks, Lord patrol envoy. Actually, this Ling has taken the liberty to visit today because I have a request …”

“Ling family head, you don’t come without a reason. I’m already mentally prepared, so why don’t you tell me?”

The inspector put on an act and put on airs.””However, I’ll make it clear first. If you’re here for Sima Yi, there’s no need for clan head Ling to say anything more!”

In order to show how bad his relationship with Lin Yi was, the inspector decided to play hard to get.

She was looking for a chance to let Lin Yi go, but when the chance really came, she had to put on an act first.

Ling lingjiu’s brows furrowed as her heart skipped a beat. She really thought that there was some sort of unresolvable grudge between the inspector and Lin Yi.

That would be troublesome!

“Lord patrol envoy, this Ling has indeed come today for Dean Sima. This Ling has also heard about what happened during the examination. Although Dean Sima is young and impulsive, it’s not a big deal, right?”

“Ling family head, are you accusing me of being unfair?”

The investigator stared at Ling lingjiu coldly. He was full of vigor and was definitely performing at the level of a movie King.

“Not at all, not at all, Lord patrol envoy has misunderstood. This Ling only feels that Dean Sima is young and impetuous, and occasionally making some mistakes is also worth forgiving! Moreover, this Ling’s life was saved by Dean Sima. If something happens to him, this Ling will definitely run for him. ”

At this moment, Ling lingjiu did not dare to offend the patrol envoy too much. She could only lower her posture and smile as she cupped her hands.”Lord patrol envoy, this Ling has never easily begged others. This time, I sincerely ask Lord patrol envoy, can you give this Ling some face and give Dean Sima a chance!”

The patrol made a thoughtful look, but he was secretly happy in his heart. This step was quite good, and it was time to go with the flow and use the slope to get down the donkey.

After thinking reservedly for a while, the inspector nodded and said,””Fine, if it was someone else, I definitely wouldn’t give them any face. But today, the Ling family head has come personally, and he has given me face. I have to return the favor!”

“You can let him go, but you must make things clear. Today, I’m only doing this because of you, Ling family head. I’m very respectful to you!”

The patrol envoy’s words made Ling lingjiu smile in understanding.”Thank you, Lord patrol envoy. This Ling will definitely remember today’s friendship in my heart. In the future, if there’s anything you need this Ling for, Lord, please feel free to say anything. This Ling will definitely not have any objections!”

He’d returned Lin Yi’s favor, and now he owed the inspector a favor.

However, there were big and small favors, and Ling lingjiu felt that this was a good deal.

Before, the patrol couldn’t integrate into the local power of Feng Qi continent, so this was a good opportunity.

Ling lingjiu even wondered if the patrol had planned this all along. He wanted to use Lin Yi’s identity as the Ling family’s benefactor to get in touch with the Ling family.

It had to be said that Ling lingjiu’s imagination was really big enough. It was just a pity that the patrol envoy had never thought of it this way, and this matter was completely just a matter of pushing the boat with the current.

Lin Yi was quickly brought out, and in order not to waste the inspector’s effort, Lin Yi naturally acted as if he and the inspector didn’t get along, parting on bad terms.

Lin Yi’s face returned to normal after they left the investigator’s area. He cupped his hands and smiled,”Uncle Ling, it’s all thanks to you that I was able to leave that damn place so quickly. I won’t say any more words of thanks, I’ll remember it in my heart!”

“What are you saying, nephew Sima? you saved my life, how can this small matter be compared to it? We didn’t even say thank you, so what are you thanking us for?”

Ling lingjiu laughed heartily, feeling that her relationship with Lin Yi had gotten a lot closer,”Remember, we are all one family. If you have any problems in the future, just say it. In this Feng Qi continent, our Ling family still has some influence. Ordinary things are not a problem.”

If they could tie Lin Yi to the Ling family’s war chariot, the future of the Ling family would be immeasurable.

Forming an alliance was often the best way to increase the strength of both sides.

As the Ling family helped Lin Yi, Lin Yi naturally used his own influence to raise the Ling family’s status.

Whether it was the Vice President of the mainland alchemy Union or the Dean of Tianxia College’s alchemy division, they were all important figures and would not bring shame to the Ling family.

“Thank you, uncle Ling. I’ll remember this. I won’t be polite with you in the future!”

Lin Yi smiled and nodded, showing his kindness.

From the looks of it, the Ling family was indeed a force that was worth recruiting.

Putting aside the fact that they were on good terms, just the fact that the Ling family had Ling lingfa as their backing was enough for Lin Yi to make use of the Ling family.

As for the central background behind the Ouyang family, since it was not on Ling lingfa’s side, it could be regarded as an enemy force!

“Big brother Sima, are you going back to the Academy now or are you going somewhere else?”

Ling Yingying asked from the side.

Ling lingjiu grumbled inwardly at her daughter’s insensibility. Shouldn’t she be inviting Lin Yi over to her house at a time like this and have a banquet to calm her nerves?

Wasn’t that the same as pushing Lin Yi away?
