Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Personal Bodyguard

"So, the number one hall Old Master Lin mentioned was referring to VIP Hall One."

After Su Luo followed Lin Songbai and the others to another private room, he immediately understood why there had been misunderstandings before.

However, this also indirectly indicated that Lin Tianhao’s status within the Lin Family wasn’t high; otherwise, he would have known about the banquet Lin Songbai had set up here today.

"Miss Lin, thank you for just now!"

Su Luo proactively thanked Lin Ruoxi, because, after all, Lin Ruoxi had rushed over and directly stood by his side.

"You’re welcome!"

Lin Ruoxi’s attitude towards Su Luo wasn’t bad, but it was certainly not warm.

Su Luo didn’t mind. He knew that Lin Ruoxi herself was probably conflicted. On the one hand, he had saved her and Lin Songbai, so Lin Ruoxi was grateful to him; on the other hand, because of those misunderstandings, Lin Ruoxi had reservations about him. Therefore, she simply treated him with indifference.

This attitude was actually in line with Lin Ruoxi’s characteristically cool nature.

"No cold face is a good thing."

Su Luo thought to himself.

Lin Songbai also noticed the relationship between Su Luo and Lin Ruoxi. Compared to the past, it seemed to have mellowed. This brought a hardly perceptible smile to his face, giving off the feeling of a crafty old fox.

"Little Friend Su, I’m afraid we might need to trouble you for a bit longer."

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, Lin Songbai suddenly looked at Su Luo and said with a smile.

"Old Lin, please speak." Su Luo had already guessed what it might be.

"Last time, you told me that the people who abducted Ruoxi were from the Geng Family of Jiangnan. I’ve had the matter thoroughly investigated. Since you’ve joined the Martial Association, Zhou Shihao shouldn’t dare to bother you for a while. So, I’m planning to personally visit Jiangnan to resolve this matter. During this time, I hope you can continue to provide close protection for Ruoxi," Lin Songbai said earnestly.

Close protection... Couldn’t you choose another term, Su Luo grumbled inwardly.

But he did not hesitate and immediately agreed, "All right."

"I haven’t agreed yet," Lin Ruoxi immediately said.

Lin Songbai had already discussed this matter with her earlier and mentioned that during his absence, he wanted Su Luo to move into her house to facilitate her protection. Seeing her grandfather’s firm attitude, she felt it hard to refuse, but she didn’t agree either, just saying she would consider it.

But she didn’t expect that at this moment, her grandfather would directly make the decision.

"This is for your safety, Ruoxi. You mustn’t be willful! At most, it’ll just be for a few days. Otherwise, if the Geng Family from Jiangnan targets you again while I’m away from Jiangbei, not only will you be in danger, but everything will also become extremely passive," Lin Songbai, who was authoritative in the Lin Family, could always have the last word on matters he firmly decided on, even Lin Ruoxi couldn’t change them.

Lin Ruoxi’s lips moved slightly; she wanted to speak several times but ultimately held back.

Because she knew that what her grandfather said was true.

...

Dusk fell and the moon hung high in the sky.

A Bentley slowly drove into the Bluemoon Bay Villa Area of Jiangbei and pulled into the garage of a detached villa.

"Get out!"

Lin Ruoxi, along with Su Luo, entered the villa.

"Such a big villa and there’s not even a housekeeper?" Su Luo asked, puzzled.

"I usually live in another apartment. I don’t stay here often. The housekeeper happens to be on leave recently," Lin Ruoxi explained. That apartment, with only one bedroom, wasn’t suitable to bring Su Luo to.

"This is your room." Lin Ruoxi led Su Luo to a room on the second floor.

"Where’s your room?" Su Luo asked.

Lin Ruoxi looked at Su Luo, "What are you trying to do?"

Seeing Lin Ruoxi seemed somewhat on guard, Su Luo replied with a wry smile, "Miss Lin, to ensure your safety, at the very least, allow me to stay in the room next to yours. If there’s any danger, I can come to your rescue in time."

Lin Ruoxi fell silent for a moment, then led Su Luo to another room and said, "Then you can stay in this one."

After saying that, Lin Ruoxi left.

Su Luo entered the room and lay down on the soft, comfortable bed, feeling extremely at ease.

"Others get duped by their fathers, you’re being duped by your granddaughter."

Something seemed to dawn on Su Luo as he muttered to himself.

Tonight, Lin Songbai’s request for him to protect Lin Ruoxi must have been genuine.

Protecting Lin Ruoxi must have been genuine.

But asking him to move into Lin Ruoxi’s house was probably Lin Songbai’s personal desire; the old man was still set on making him his granddaughter’s husband, deliberately pushing his granddaughter towards him.

It had to be said, Lin Ruoxi, being a great beauty, though a bit cold and not exactly friendly towards him, was still captivating just by being there. To say Su Luo had no feelings at all would be a lie.

However, in his heart, Aunt Shen was the most important, and his heart was with Aunt Shen.

Thinking of Aunt Shen, Su Luo became somewhat absent-minded.

"Aunt Shen, what are you doing right now?"

An image of Aunt Shen formed in Su Luo’s mind, not with impure thoughts, but simply because he missed her. This nearly made Su Luo unable to resist contacting her, but in the end, he managed to suppress the impulse.

At this moment, if he tried to contact Aunt Shen, once Zhou Shihao found out, it would mean putting Aunt Shen in danger.

"Strength, it’s still not enough strength!"

Su Luo clenched his teeth.

He flipped out of bed, sat cross-legged on the floor, and began his cultivation.

To his surprise, Su Luo found that the spiritual energy of nature at the Bluemoon Bay Villa Area was much more abundant compared to other areas, making it more suitable for cultivation.

At the same time, Su Luo took out the few elixirs he had left on him and swallowed them all, refining them inside his body.

He was determined to seize every opportunity to use his time wisely, to cultivate diligently and improve his strength!

Time passed.

When Su Luo slowly exhaled a murky breath, temporarily ending his cultivation, he checked the time and realized it was already deep into the night, past three in the morning!

"Even though the spiritual energy here in the Bluemoon Bay Villa Area is more abundant than other places, relying solely on absorbing nature’s spiritual energy for cultivation is still too slow," Su Luo sighed, realizing he needed to find a way to acquire money and medicinal ingredients.

Having received ten million from Chen Boxiong, Su Luo had already asked Zhou Ye to use his connections to purchase medicinal ingredients on the black market, but there was still no news.

"Hm?"

Just as Su Luo was planning to sleep for two or three hours to restore his energy, his expression changed slightly.

In an instant.

Su Luo’s Divine Sense swept over the entire villa.

"Two experts!"

Through his Divine Sense, Su Luo detected two people sneaking into Lin Ruoxi’s villa and entering the outer garden. Judging by the fluctuations of their Inner Strength, Su Luo suspected that these two’s martial arts realm might even be above that of Bai Yifeng.

Their target was clearly Lin Ruoxi’s room!

Ill-intentioned visitors!

Su Luo’s expression darkened slightly as he concealed his own aura, quietly opened his room, and headed towards Lin Ruoxi’s room. Using his True Qi, he unlocked the door and sneaked inside.

His movements were as light and ghostly as a specter, not alerting the two powerful intruders outside.

"Miss Lin!"

Approaching Lin Ruoxi’s bedside, Su Luo saw her sleeping soundly under an air conditioner blanket and softly called her name.

Hearing someone calling her and stirring beside her ear, Lin Ruoxi woke up groggily.

But the next moment, Lin Ruoxi’s heart jolted with alarm.

However, Su Luo was quick and timely covered her mouth before she could scream aloud.

"It’s me, Su Luo," he quickly whispered, "There are martial artists outside sneaking around. I suspect they’re here for you."

"When I let go, don’t make any noise. Hide quietly in the closet, and I’ll pretend to be you. Do you understand?"

Lin Ruoxi nodded slightly.

Only then did Su Luo release her.

"But..."

Lin Ruoxi didn’t scream again, but she didn’t get up immediately either, instead appearing hesitant.

"What’s the matter?"

Su Luo looked at her.

"I... I’m not wearing anything underneath," Lin Ruoxi’s face was so red it looked like it could drip water, her voice as quiet as a mosquito’s.

This was her habit, sleeping in the nude!

At a moment like this, however, it was incredibly awkward. Even in the dark, the idea of exposing herself naked beside Su Luo was unacceptable.

"Sleeping in the nude?"

Hearing her words, Su Luo’s face suddenly changed, and he couldn’t help but sweep over her with his Divine Sense.

Instantly, the figure under the air conditioner blanket was laid bare before Su Luo’s Divine Sense, almost causing him to have a nosebleed.

He truly hadn’t expected the icy CEO like Lin Ruoxi to have such a habit in private.

From a man’s perspective, he thought the habit was quite nice.

But at this moment, it was nothing short of embarrassing.

"I’ll get up wrapped in the blanket, then you can take another blanket out of the wardrobe, can you do that?" Lin Ruoxi quickly asked in a low voice.

"We don’t have time!" As his words fell, Su Luo directly lifted Lin Ruoxi’s blanket and crawled in.

At the same time.

The door handle turned, and two figures, like specters, silently entered the room.
