Chapter 711: 079 Return to Maternal Home_4

Lin Yuan was startled, "Where?"

Liu Limin’s eyes darted toward Lin Yuan’s chest, "There, you know? Haven’t you been eating fermented glutinous rice with eggs every day? Did it work? Why have I been eating it for over a month, and there’s no growth at all? Hey, is there something wrong with your recipe? Who told you about it? Is it reliable?"

Lin Yuan closed her eyes tightly, nearly spitting out the egg she had just swallowed. Couldn’t this aunt of hers go back to the main table for lunch?

After lunch, Liu Limin, Zhao Suxin, and a few others were cleaning up dishes in the kitchen. Lin Yuan was about to help but got shooed away by them.

Feeling bored, Lin Yuan then saw Liu Zhiguang nagging Lin Yi about something. Looking at Lin Yi’s darkened face, she knew immediately it was nothing good.

"Big cousin, what are you two doing?"

For Lin Yi, Lin Yuan’s arrival was nothing short of a godsend. He had never longed for her to show up as much as he did at that moment.

"Ahem." Under Lin Yuan’s gaze, Liu Zhiguang cleared his throat twice, abandoning his pestering of Lin Yi and trying to look natural.

Lin Yi furrowed his brow, observing the other’s shifty gaze and confirming his suspicions once again.

"Why isn’t anyone talking? Have you all become mute as soon as I arrived? Didn’t you guys just have a lively chat? Hmph, did I interrupt something?"

"Yes, yes, you should go inside. It’s too cold out here," Liu Zhiguang couldn’t wait for Lin Yuan to leave.

Hmm? Lin Yuan glanced at him sideways, crossed her arms, and not only did she stay put, she even casually leaned against the wall corner and hummed a little tune.

Liu Zhiguang suddenly clamped his mouth shut; if only his mouth were this slick when reciting books for his teacher!

Liu Zhiyang, who had been on the side watching the drama like a little adult, finally couldn’t help but twitch his face and betrayed his own brother, "Yuanyuan, you came just at the right time. If you were any later, your guard would have been lured away by him."

Lin Yi was a hidden guard sent by Xia Zheng to protect Lin Yuan’s safety, but publicly, that couldn’t be said, and Lin Yuan always claimed he was hired to guard and protect the household.

After hearing Liu Zhiyang’s words, Lin Yuan didn’t need to ask any further; she already guessed what had happened. Liu Zhiguang had sparred with Lin Yi at the Lin family’s ravine last time and had been unsatisfied ever since. The moment they met today, his competitive spirit flared up again. But he couldn’t beat Lin Yi fairly, so he had to resort to sneak attacks.

However, Liu Zhiguang wouldn’t admit to sneak-attacking; in his own words, that was called catching the opponent off guard.

But whether it was a sneak attack or catching off guard, Lin Yi had noticed his presence the moment he hid in the corner. With just a flick of his toe kicking a pebble, he had felled the overconfident man.

And that led to the scene Lin Yuan had witnessed; Liu Zhiguang making a fuss about wanting to become a disciple, thoroughly annoying Lin Yi.

Even though Lin Yi was Lin Yuan’s guard on the surface, in reality, he was still part of the Xia family’s hidden guard, and without the Family Head’s nod, why would he impart his guarding skills to others?

Although Lin Yuan wasn’t aware of this, she did understand that people from the Martial World could not accept disciples lightly. She immediately laughed and patted Liu Zhiguang on the shoulder, saying, "Big cousin, you are so keen on martial arts; do your uncle and aunt know about this?"

Liu Zhiguang stiffened, his mouth as stubborn as stone, "Of course, they know. They not only know but also strongly approve."

Liu Zhiyang rolled his eyes and looked up at the sky.

"Really? I just saw auntie in the kitchen earlier. Let me go ask her how she could bear to let you suffer."
