Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 8478 8477-

God bless the Ling family!

At the most critical time, they sent Lin Yi, their Savior!

Grandma Jian thanked the heavens in her heart. At the same time, she felt that she didn't dote on her granddaughter Ling Yingying for nothing. She was quite reliable during critical moments!

"Mr. Sima, thank you for saving my life!"

Ling Yun's father already knew Lin Yi's name. He sat up and cupped his fist to show his gratitude,""It's a little inconvenient. I can't thank you with a big gift. I hope Mr. Sima can forgive me."

"Uncle Ling, you're too kind. I'm friends with young master Ling and miss Ling. Uncle Ling, you're being too polite!"

Lin Yi took a few steps forward and returned the salute.

At this point, Ling Binbin was in a difficult position. He quickly followed and shouted,""What young master and young lady? benefactor, are you looking down on us? You can just call me by my name, Ling Binbin! My little sister Ling Yingying, you can also call her by her name. Young master and young miss are too distant!"

Ling Yingying also came up to him and smiled,"that's right!" We won't call you benefactor anymore. Since you said that we're friends, then there's no need to be so distant. We've already said before that I'll call you big brother Sima and you'll call me Ling Yingying. Don't forget!"

"Alright, I'll listen to you guys then!"

Lin Yi only smiled, not saying anything.

The two were nice people, and Lin Yi didn't mind being friends with them.

"Then I'll have to be arrogant and call you nephew Sima!"

Father Ling's spirits were getting better, and his dry and sunken face seemed to be more energetic.""By the way, can honorable nephew Sima tell me what illness I have? Although I've been unconscious for a while, the pain before I fainted is still fresh in my memory!"

Lin Yi didn't tell them what kind of illness Ling Yi's father had or what caused his condition, so the madam and the Ling siblings were all very interested in the question. They were all waiting for Lin Yi's answer.

Lin Yi muttered to himself, thinking that it wasn't a bad thing to tell them. It was always better to be careful in the future.

"To tell you the truth, it's not an illness that caused uncle Ling's death, but a trap! It's a very rare technique that can continuously weaken uncle Ling's primordial spirit and drain his sea of consciousness. "

"The spiritual ICE Clear spirit grass can slightly alleviate the pain, but it can't cure the root of the problem. So, even if Ling Yingying successfully finds the spiritual ICE Clear spirit grass, it's only a delaying tactic."

Lin Yi wasn't trying to scare him-it was the truth!

Even with the spirit ice mind-clearing grass to help uncle Ling stabilize his divine sense, it was only to provide nutrients for the seed.

Ling Yun's father's expression turned serious. Although he was still very weak, he had the aura of a superior. "It's actually a plot? It seems like you're really a thoughtful person!"

"Uncle Ling, with all due respect, this kind of method can not be used by just anyone. Do you still remember what you did before your illness acted up, and who you came into contact with?"

Lin Yi didn't say that it was a witch's technique, but he wouldn't give up on this clue.

There were very few humans who knew how to use the Sorcerer tribe's techniques. Most of them were still being passed down by the darkness demon beasts.

Father Ling's death might be related to the darkness demon beast clan!

Lin Yi's purpose for coming to Fengqi great continent was to investigate the dark Demon beast clan.

Perhaps ... The plot against Mr. Ling was a breakthrough!

It was really like he had worn out his iron shoes in a long search, but found it without any effort!

"Before the onset of the illness ..."

Mr. Ling frowned slightly and reminisced.""If I'm not mistaken, I should be attending the first hall master's banquet! Because of Yingying's rejection of the marriage, the first hall Master invited me to a banquet. I have to go and explain. "

"At the banquet, the first hall Master said that the failure of the marriage would not affect our personal relationship and told me not to worry. He also drank with me many times and his enthusiasm was still the same as before."

"I drank a few more glasses because I was relieved. I didn't try to dissolve the alcohol, so I got drunk and went to sleep as soon as I got home."

"After that, he seemed to have a relapse and fell into a coma until now!"

"Could it be that this matter is related to the first hall master's banquet? Or is this the first hall master's doing?"

Everyone present was a Ling and his family's trusted people. Lin Yi may be an outsider, but he saved his father's life, so he didn't hold back and voiced his doubts directly.

"Well ... I can't be sure for now. It's possible that she was ambushed before the banquet and only acted up after a period of incubation."

Lin Yi stated the facts objectively.

If it was really the Hall's doing ... Then wouldn't the entire Fengqi continent's martial Alliance be rotten to the core?

As Lin Yi was thinking ...

Speak of the Devil, and the devil is here.

Just as they were talking about the first hall Master, a servant came in from outside and reported,""Martial league's Hall Master is here to pay a visit and would like to invite old Madam to the front hall!"

Since Ling Chen's father was bedridden, the Ling family's matters would have to be handled by the old Madam personally.

Even though Ling Binbin had some uncles, they were only in charge of a small portion of the Ling family's Affairs. When there was a need to make a decision, the old Madam would be the one in charge.

That was why the first hall Master invited the old lady to talk to him instead of Ling Binbin's uncles.

"First hall Master? What's the meaning of him coming at this time?"

The old lady frowned and seemed very unhappy.

She had just found out that her son might have been plotted against by the first hall Master, but she had not immediately used her walking stick to beat him up. It was already considered very cultured of her.

"Old Madam, the first hall Master has brought betrothal gifts and said that he is here to propose marriage to young lady Yingying!"

The servant replied respectfully, but the old Madam was furious. She said angrily,"

"Impudent! What did he mean by that? To hit him when he was down? He had already rejected her once, and she was still trying! Does he think that the Ling family is going to fall, so he'll definitely push Yingying to him?"

"Mother, please calm down! I'll go out personally and see what tricks he's up to!"

Father Ling actually got up from the bed and refused the help of the servant girl, standing up slowly!

After getting used to it, Mr. Ling's body swayed for a while before he finally managed to stand up straight.

The old lady was very happy with her son's recovery speed, but she was still worried about him going out to meet people now. "Don't force yourself, you should rest more! It's just gotten better, it can't be a relapse!"

"Mother, don't worry. Your son knows what to do! I can feel that my body is getting better and better. I've been lying down for so long, so I think I'll feel better if I move a little. "

Ling Yun's father comforted the old lady and turned to Lin Yi,"Nephew Sima, is this right? Is it okay if I go out now?"

"No problem! Uncle Ling is right, a little bit of action is good for recovery. It's good to see that first hall Master, maybe we can find some clues. "

Lin Yi thought that if it really was the first hall master's doing, he'd probably give himself away when he found out that Ling Yun's father was fine!
