I've Got Shield Bro Already

Lin Yi looked at the the the two girls, not far from the dining table, their full attention on the cartoons that they were watching. He lowered down his voice, "They are watching cartoon in the living room right now, is there anything that I can help you, uncle Chu?"

"Alright, first of all, it's about you!", Pengzhan said. "Li Cihua came to see me today. He was trying to dig something out of me but I didn't reveal anything important. Let's just hope that he didn't get anything from the talk. I'm pretty sure that Zhao Qibing wouldn't just let this go that easily, you have to be prepared!"

"He went to see you?" Lin Yi smiled, "It's ok, there's nothing much about me, just let them do whatever they like and if they want to deal with me, bring it on!"

Lin Yi was cautious of the people backing Qibing, but he was certain that he wasn't afraid of them! He might have been injured very badly since the last battle, but he owned a treasure - the jade. Lin Yi doubted that Uncle Zhu had something similar up his sleeves. Even if he consumed a lot of the special pills, it would still take more than a year for his injury to be fully recovered, according to Elder Jiao!

So Lin Yi wasn't concerned with Qibing's revenge in the slightest. He decided to go on a full war if he must, and then escape when he was badly injured. After a nights rest in the jade, he could go all out again. Lin Yi believed that even if Qibing had a strong background, he wouldn't have that many masters to fight him. All of his masters would be lying in bed, half dead! That's what he thought.

Having the jade space was like his ultimate skill. If his opponent wasn't overpowered, then Lin Yi would be a god-like figure; nobody stood a chance in beating him.

"Nevertheless, you have to be careful." Pengzhan was somewhat at ease after hearing Lin Yi's confidence, but still, he couldn't help but worry about him. "I don't wish to see you injured."

"Rest assured, Uncle Chu, I will flee if I should…." Lin Yi said honestly. He didn't think it was embarrassing to escape from a fight. If he fought a match when he was supposed to flee, then he was a real idiot!

"I'm glad that you are able to think like that." Pengzhan nodded and continued "And, I want you to find out why Mengyao was following Zhong Pinliang to Mount Shuangyan. I had my hands full with my work and I wanted to ask her yesterday but you were injured so I didn't bring up the unpleasant thing. So, please lend me a hand…."

"I'm puzzled as well. I'll check it out and give you a call later?" Lin Yi asked.

"No rush, just take your time. Make it as natural as possible." Pengzhan didn't want to interfere with his daughter's private life. She was a grown-up and he believed that her daughter was a bright person. She wouldn't fall into lies so easily. She must have had her own reasons.

"Okay, I'll ask if it feels right." Lin Yi nodded. He, himself, thought that asking Mengyao that question out of the blue would be weird too.

......…

After paying the toll of the controlled-access highway, Yutian called Lingsan again.

However, Lingshan's tone was cold, "Chen Yutian? You're back? Anything else?"

Lingshan had saved his number after yesterday's call. She saved the number because they were friends, that simple.

"Nothing…. I'm just telling you that I've returned." Yutian was oppressed by Lingshan. Her curtness made him uncomfortable but he didn't have the courage to fight back.

"Oh, got it," Lingsan said lightly: "Is there anything else? If not, I'll be ending the call now."

Yutian hesitated and man up as he asked, "are you really busy tonight?"

"Yup, I'm busy. 'Kay, bye!" Lingsan had ended the call before Yutian could say a word.

Yutian laughed at himself and called Jianwen, "Bro, where are you?"

"Taizao and I are waiting in the starlight hotel, we are currently on the fifth floor, first Vip room! Shu and Yaoyao are joining us tonight." Jianwen smiled.

"Sure, I'll be there in a while." Yutian sighed. Jianwen was really using him to reach his goal, to get near to Mengyao. How could he not know this?

He found out that his sister didn't have that many suitors. He used to worry about his sister's safety and study environment with all the boys surrounding her, but now that his sister was eighteen, there wasn't any sign of admirers at all. He couldn't believe that this was really happening to her. He found it absurd.

However, with his sister's behavior, he couldn't help feeling anxious. Perhaps her behavior was the reason the boys were keeping a distance away from her? That girl had a screw loose in her head. She only knew how to troll people, and while Wu Xiaocan had fallen victim due to her looks, he bet if Xiaocan knew his sister's behavior beforehand, he'd never lay a hand on it!

If someone were to bring Yushu back to their home, and his sister was truly in love with that guy, then he should be fine, but if Yushu wasn't interested, he was bound to suffer!

After thinking about it, Yutian decided to give his sister a call.

"Shu, where are you? Are you missing your brother here?" Yutian had been away for like more than a year. He was clueless of everything in Songsan, including his sister. He used to be her protector back then. He wondered if Yushu would still rely on him like she used to….

"Oh, Yaoyao sis and I are about to head out now!" Yushu received the call when they stepped out of the house, "I missed you, but I've got shield bro now, so it doesn't matter anymore!"

"Shield bro?" Yutian startled, "Who's shield bro?"

"Oh, it's Yaoyao sis's follower and bodyguard!" Yushu was displeased at her brother. He volunteered to go over the border for training and went through hell just for that woman. She couldn't accept Yutian's decision until now, so naturally, she wouldn't let this opportunity escape her.

What was so good about Song Lingsan? Yushu couldn't believe her brother was spellbound by that fox! She was ashamed by her own brother, being so stubborn even after being rejected.

On the other hand, Shield bro was so much better and cooler than his brother! Lingshan couldn't even fight back against him after being ordered around. If he asked Lingshan to head east, then she would! That's the difference between Shield bro and her brother. Shield bro was the best!

"Ah?" Yutian was furious. Just who was this follower? How did he steal Yushu away from him? Yushu had been admiring her brother since young, whenever she faced problems, Yutian was her first option for help. Now there was a Shield bro replacing him. He couldn't contain his anger anymore.

Yutian was frustrated enough about Lingshan's rejection and now came a Shield bro, out of nowhere, replacing his place in his sister's heart. How could Yutian remain calm at this point? Yutian wanted to send a slap directly to that shield bro's face and send him flying!
