Beauty and the Bodyguard

8697 Chapter 8696-

As su lingyue’s husband, si MA was sure to stay with her at the SU house, so Lin Yi had no other choice but to spend the new year with them.

Of course, su yongcang personally sent out an invitation to Lin Yi in private. It didn’t matter if Lin Yi admitted that he was a member of the SU family or not, as long as he appeared at the SU family’s New Year’s banquet, it was settled!

This day was known as Chinese New Year’s Eve in the secular world.

There was no Chinese New Year’s Eve on the sub Island, but the meaning of this day was the same as Chinese New Year’s Eve. It was the time for all family reunions!

The entire su residence was filled with a festive atmosphere. Even if ordinary families didn’t get anything throughout the year, they would be happy on this day and look forward to good luck in the coming year.

Because of Lin Yi’s appearance, the SU family was in the limelight in Fengqi Dazhou. Naturally, everyone was smiling even more, even walking with a breeze of joy!

Lin Yi didn’t even remember how he’d celebrated the new year all these years-he’d been busy every year, and never had a good time.

This time, it could be considered as making up for the regrets of the past few years. In the lively atmosphere, the new year passed.

The next day, all the forces in Fengqi continent started to visit each other. It was a New Year and they had to start building relationships. The SU family was definitely the first choice.

It wasn’t just because of house SU’s power, it was also because Lin Yi was there!

Su yongcang had long anticipated this and had already instructed to prepare a banquet early in the morning. If there were guests, they could be received immediately.

Of course, usually, no one would come to visit early in the morning, as that would obviously attract hate!

Lin Yi and su yongcang were making tea and playing chess in the pavilion in the backyard to kill time. The younger generation of the SU family came here to pay their respects.

In theory, Lin Yi was su yongcang’s grandson, he didn’t have the right to be on the same level as su yongcang and receive the SU family’s greetings.

But su yongcang already said that Lin Yi was his brother, and su Zixin still considered himself Lin Yi’s disciple, so the SU family’s younger generation greeting Lin Yi as an elder … There didn’t seem to be anything wrong with that, right?

“Younger brother Sima, do you think there is anyone worth training among the younger generation of our su family? If there are one or two people who can catch your eye, why don’t you spend some time and effort to cultivate them?”

Su yongcang placed a stone down casually and smiled as he spoke to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was a Double Diamond Grandmaster, and while the sus were an array Noble House, it wasn’t as if they didn’t have anyone in the alchemy field-it was just that they weren’t as accomplished as the Ouyang house was.

If they could get on Lin Yi’s good side and train one or two powerful grandmasters in alchemy and formation, it would be of great help to house SU’s growth!

Lin Yi smiled and responded with a hand on the board before shaking his head,”I can’t see anything from such a cursory glance! I’ll take a good look after the new year!”

The SU family had accepted su lingyue, and Lin Yi was inexplicably engaged to su Yumo. As long as the SU family didn’t betray Lin Yi and go to the dark Demon beasts or central to deal with Lin Yi, they would be inseparable.

And so, Lin Yi didn’t mind lending a hand if there was a chance to increase house SU’s strength.

“Alright! We’ll talk about it after the new year. We’re just having a casual chat today!”

Su yongcang was very satisfied-it didn’t matter if Lin Yi didn’t agree, this attitude was a good thing!

The two of them didn’t have any desire to win on the chessboard. They placed their pieces casually and chatted casually. It was quite harmonious.

It was close to noon, and guests started to visit. They were all high-level people from different forces, but su yongcang and Lin Yi wouldn’t welcome those who weren’t high enough status. Su Zixin was enough.

Su yongcang and Lin Yi only ended the game when a servant announced the first hall master’s arrival. They went to the front to welcome him.

“Brother Sima, you haven’t been around recently. Should I say that you’re busy or free?”

The hall Master had recovered after a few days of rest, and was back in control of martial League. He hadn’t seen Lin Yi these past few days, though, so he teased him the moment he saw him.

Lin Yi was busy, but he didn’t care about anything and acted like a boss. If one were to say that Lin Yi was free, he had been traveling with Sima Yunqi and su lingyue these past few days and didn’t have much free time.

“First hall Master, please forgive me. I’ve been accompanying my parents for a few days and have indeed neglected you. I haven’t seen you for a few days. How is your body?”

The head Hall master’s body was fine. His previous unconsciousness was caused by the seed in his sea of consciousness, and had nothing to do with his body.

However, only Lin Yi, Ling lingfa, and a few other people knew about this.

The people outside thought that the first hall Master had a sudden illness and Lin Yi had to treat him before he fully recovered, so Lin Yi’s question was perfectly logical.

“Thank you, thank you. It’s all thanks to brother Sima’s magical hands that I was able to recover! There’s no need to thank me, as long as we brothers know what we’re doing!”

The first hall Master clenched his right fist and thumped it on his left chest, telling Lin Yi that he’d keep this in mind and that he’d do his best to help Lin Yi in the future.

“It’s what I should do, there’s no need to mention anything within my duty. Speaking of which, after the reorganization of the martial League these past few days, it has changed completely and displayed a new style …”

Lin Yi changed the topic and started talking about the reorganization of the martial League. After the first hall Master regained power, she cleaned up all the clowns that jumped out of the martial League. It wasn’t a complete clean up, but her control over the martial League had reached an unprecedented level.

The two of them started to chat on this topic. Su yongcang also joined in and said a few words, and soon left to socialize with the big shots who came to pay New Year’s greetings.

What everyone didn’t expect was that when the sun rose to its highest point in the afternoon, the Jia family of Sangzi Dazhou actually sent someone over to pay a New Year visit!

Of course, the people from the Jia family didn’t come to pay a New Year’s visit. Instead, they used the excuse of paying a New Year’s visit to invite the SU family to the Sangzi continent!

“Patriarch su, our Sangzi great continent’s New Year’s array Dao exchange will begin in a few days. Last year’s array Dao exchange left a deep impression on our Jia family, so this time, the family has specially sent me to invite the SU family to the Sangzi great continent to participate in the New Year’s array Dao exchange!”

Under normal circumstances, there would be all sorts of array Dao and pill Dao exchange meetings at the beginning of the year, but they were all internal matters of the continent.

Only at the end of the year would an inter-continent exchange be held. For example, the previous exchange that the Jia family had returned in defeat was of this nature!

Strictly speaking, the continental exchange meeting at the beginning of the year was just a warm-up for the year-end exchange meeting. It was also a selection.

It was just like how the winner of the provincial and municipal level competition was qualified to participate in the National competition, and those who performed well in the National competition could enter the international competition.
