Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Seeing Lin Yafei leave, Lu Tianxing finally couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Thankfully, this demoness had left, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble she would stir up next.

”Let’s eat, let’s hurry and eat! I’m starving to death.”

Lu Tianxing gestured for Bai Zhiqing and Lin Yafei to start eating, and then he too lowered his head and began to eat. Right now, Lu Tianxing’s mind was already void of other thoughts; he only wanted to finish his meal quickly and then stay far away from this place of trouble.

Lin Yafei looked at Lu Tianxing, a faint smile on her lips, but she made no further moves.

As a smart woman, she knew well what it meant to exercise restraint. She wasn’t confronting Bai Zhiqing for favor in front of Lu Tianxing for affection’s sake, but rather for amusement. Therefore, in a man’s eyes, it would only seem like some playful antics and not be taken to heart. But if you continue to overstep bounds, it would make a man think you’re too much, and gradually develop feelings of dislike, distancing himself.

In this world, many women are like this: they always assume a man’s affection is a given, choosing repeatedly to push their luck. The final outcome is usually pushing the man who loves them into another woman’s arms.

Lin Yafei is a smart woman, so she knows when to stop, not to overreach and become someone Lu Tianxing dislikes.

Bai Zhiqing glanced at Lu Tianxing, then at Lin Yafei, a trace of despondency passed fleetingly across a face that was originally displeased, disappearing without anyone noticing.

While the three were eating and chatting, Lin Yafei’s phone suddenly buzzed. She quickly retrieved it from her bag, and upon reading the text, her beautiful eyes slightly contracted, a cold glint flickering within them.

”What is it, Lin Demon, what’s happening?” Lu Tianxing asked, noticing Lin Yafei’s change in expression.

”The Qingtian Alliance has made a move against Yama Palace again. This is the fifth attack they’ve launched against Yama Palace.” Lin Yafei took a deep breath, revealing a trace of undisguisable fatigue on her face.

Though the Qingtian Alliance’s recent attacks on Yama Palace have been mere harassment, as the Great Hall Master of Yama Palace, especially in the absence of Rose in Beijing, Lin Yafei has no choice but to remain vigilant in Yama Palace. Even if the Qingtian Alliance’s attacks on Yama Palace were just harassment, she needed to be present.

After all, there’s a saying ”things can be true when they’re false and vice versa.” No one knows when the Qingtian Alliance’s attacks might be genuine. Even though Yama Palace’s current strength can suppress the Qingtian Alliance, an unexpected full-scale assault would catch Yama Palace off guard. Although Yama Palace might withstand their assaults in the end, the cost would be unimaginable.

Thus, Lin Yafei must remain at Yama Palace constantly, ready to respond to attacks from the Qingtian Alliance. However, these past few days, the Qingtian Alliance has acted like a rabid dog, seizing every opportunity to bark at Yama Palace, only to retreat quickly when Yama Palace’s forces arrive.

The series of events have left Lin Yafei mentally and physically exhausted.

”Five attacks from the Qingtian Alliance on Yama Palace today?”

Upon hearing Lin Yafei’s words, Lu Tianxing immediately put down his cutlery, looked at Lin Yafei, and said, ”Lin Demon, tell me more.”

Lin Yafei, upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s inquiry, did not waste words and directly responded, ”Little man, ever since you left Beijing, the Qingtian Alliance has reemerged, continuously harassing Yama Palace. Each time Yama Palace tries to retaliate, they immediately tuck their tails and hide.”

”And whenever we just want to rest, they show up again, continuing their harassment, then quickly retreat with their tails tucked.”

Upon hearing Lin Yafei’s words, Lu Tianxing’s brows slightly knitted, ”Lin Demon, haven’t you ever thought of capturing them all at once?”

”It’s useless.”

Lin Yafei shook her head lightly and said, ”I’ve tried capturing them all, but it’s futile. They’re never planning to engage us directly. As soon as I send someone over, they hide, leaving only some nonessential forces outside, while their elites vanish without a trace. It’s impossible to find any information on them.”

At this point, a trace of coldness flashed across Lin Yafei’s face, which is why Yama Palace has not yet moved against the Qingtian Alliance.

Just like Lu Tianxing, she desires to capture the Qingtian Alliance’s forces all in one sweep. But the Qingtian Alliance seems to anticipate her move. Whenever she thinks about acting, the elite forces disappear into thin air, leaving only unimportant minions outside.

As for those leftover trivial minions, Yama Palace simply can’t be bothered. Even if they’re wiped out, it wouldn’t impact the Qingtian Alliance at all, making the effort pointless.

After hearing Lin Yafei’s words, Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but furrow his brows further. The timing of these actions, since his departure from Xiangjiang, adds layers to the meaning that shouldn’t be ignored.

”Lin Demon, do you think this time the mastermind is the Qingtian Alliance, or possibly related to the Tang Family?” Lu Tianxing suddenly asked, looking at Lin Yafei.

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s query, a thought flashed through Lin Yafei’s mind, and she immediately understood his implication.

The mastermind Lu Tianxing referred to is possibly the same mysterious figure Bai Zhiqing met at the café, causing her distress—is this person associated with the Tang Family? If the Tang Family has something on Bai Zhiqing, using it to threaten her, it makes sense they would act right after Lu Tianxing left Beijing, targeting Yama Palace with such harassment attacks. This would intentionally leave Lin Yafei overwhelmed and unable to focus on other matters.

These implications, once considered, merit serious contemplation.

”There’s indeed that possibility.”

Lin Yafei nodded solemnly, ”Otherwise, it’s unlikely for them to wear me out like this and keep me distracted.”

Bai Zhiqing, sitting off to the side, listening to Lu Tianxing and Lin Yafei’s conversation, couldn’t help but look puzzled. What on earth are these two talking about? She couldn’t quite understand.
