Now, he was truly scared.

Offending those people with status and background was not going to end well, so he might as well just keep to his duties.

Fifty meters ahead, Lin Yifei bumped into someone she knew.

This familiar person was her upper bunkmate, with whom she had a rather friendly relationship, and who also came from a rural background with a not so wealthy family; hence, the two of them usually got along well without any prejudices.

"Hey! Yi Fei, where have you been these past few days? Why haven't there been any news from you?" Guo Xiaoyan, Lin Yifei's upper bunkmate, came forward to greet her, curious.

"Xiaoyan! What a coincidence! Why are you up so early today?" Lin Yifei asked curiously.

It was just past six o'clock in the morning, a time when everyone else was usually still deep in sleep.

"I missed you!" Guo Xiaoyan replied, then moved to hold Lin Yifei's hand.

However, at that moment, she was blocked by Yi Chen standing behind Lin Yifei.

Looking at this sudden bald man in a suit who intervened, Guo Xiaoyan curiously asked, "Yi Fei, who is this...?"

"This is Brother Yi Chen, he's the one who brought me here." Lin Yifei answered, then immediately said to Yi Chen behind her, "Brother Yi Chen, Xiaoyan is a close friend of mine, don't worry."

Upon hearing this, Yi Chen let go of his hand; then he stepped back behind Lin Yifei, maintaining a certain distance; his entire behavior resembled that of a personal bodyguard.

He had promised Lin Yifan that he would go all out to fulfill the task; thus, he would protect Lin Yifei to the best of his ability.

After persuading Yi Chen, Lin Yifei and Guo Xiaoyan walked away side by side.

At that time, Guo Xiaoyan kept glancing back at the stern-faced Yi Chen and whispered, "Yi Fei! Is what they say true? Are you really being kept by a tycoon?"

"Who the hell is spreading that rumor?" Lin Yifei asked angrily.

She was not hearing this for the first time; just now, she had heard it too; thus, she was very disgusted and angry.

"Lots of people, I don't know who started it." Guo Xiaoyan answered, then asked, "Yi Fei, what exactly is going on? How did you suddenly turn from a nobody to a phoenix? And why do you have a personal bodyguard now?"

"It's because my brother came to Yanjing, and he's a rich landowner, it's really that simple." Lin Yifei answered.

"Then why didn't you tell me sooner? I thought you were just like me, a child from a poor family." Guo Xiaoyan asked.

"I also didn't know why my brother suddenly became so wealthy; when I heard about it, I was also shocked." Lin Yifei answered.

The events of Friday night felt like a dream; to this day, she still found it hard to believe.

"Does your brother have a girlfriend? How about introducing me to him and I become your sister-in-law?" Guo Xiaoyan jokingly asked.

In reality, she did harbor such a thought, largely because she was scared of remaining poor.

"Forget about it, my brother has had a girlfriend for long, and she is way more outstanding than you in every aspect." Lin Yifei answered.

"Ah! What a pity! It seems I, Guo someone, am doomed to a solitary life." Guo Xiaoyan shook her head and sighed, looking quite miserable.

"Don't be so gloomy, there are plenty of good men in the world, you will eventually meet the right one." Lin Yifei said sincerely, trying to comfort her.

"Hopefully that's the case." Guo Xiaoyan sighed sadly, feeling like the chances of such a thing happening were too slim.

Calming her emotions, she continued, "By the way! I also heard that you offended Tian Wenna, one of the new 'Four Queens' of the Business Management class at Yanjing University, is that true?"

"It's not that I offended her, she wanted to offend me, so I had to teach her a lesson," Lin Yifei replied.

"Wow! You dare to mess with Tian Wenna, you're really impressive!" Guo Xiaoyan admired.

Tian Wenna's status was something she had heard of; so hearing this news, she was truly shocked.

"It wasn't me who caused trouble, it was my brother who did it for me," Lin Yifei argued.

"Then who exactly is your brother, that even one of the thirteen major families of Capital City, the Tian Family, doesn't scare him?" Guo Xiaoyan asked curiously.

Now, she was becoming more and more interested in Lin Yifei's brother.

"I don't know exactly who he is, but he's definitely a big shot," Lin Yifei replied.

Since she met her brother again, her understanding, her worldview, had been completely overturned. Cultivation World, Cultivators, Cultivation Power, all these Mysterious elements were a bit confusing to her.

"Then I really need to make good friends with you; remember to help me out if sisters run into trouble," Guo Xiaoyan shamelessly said.

This request, she had to make; because someone like her without any background, needed such protection the most.

"Definitely, definitely! But if you start the trouble first, then I'm not getting involved," Lin Yifei replied, laying out her own condition.

She knew why Guo Xiaoyan was approaching her, but she also didn't want to become a weapon for others to bully around, so she set this most basic and yet most important condition.

"Don't worry, I'm not one of those 'Queens', I have my own charm," Guo Xiaoyan responded.

"That's good!"

With that, the two of them chatted casually as they headed towards the dormitory.

After a few minutes, a handsome young man with a middle-parted hairstyle suddenly came out from the corridor of the nearby academic building and appeared in front of Lin Yifei, blocking her path.

Behind him, several fierce-looking underlings followed.

Seeing this situation, Guo Xiaoyan asked nervously, "Ma Yihang, what do you want? I'm telling you, if you dare to mess with Yi Fei again, I will... I will... I will have people wipe you out."

Ma Yihang was the third young master of the Ma Family in Capital City, also one of the "Top Eight Bullies" of Yanjing University, known for his ruthlessness.

He was one of Lin Yifei's admirers and had previously pestered her relentlessly; however, it was of no use.

Now, knowing another identity of Lin Yifei, he was even more determined to chase this commoner beauty.

"How dare I provoke Miss Lin! I just wanted to make friends with her today, don't be so nervous," Ma Yihang responded.

Then, with a slight smirk, he stepped forward and extended his hand: "Beautiful Miss Lin Yifei, can we be friends?"

"Sorry, not interested!" Lin Yifei rejected outright.

Then she tried to walk past Ma Yihang and continue forward.

However, just as she took a step, Ma Yihang immediately came over, spread out his left hand, and blocked her.

"What exactly do you want?" Lin Yifei angrily asked, truly fed up with this shameless and arrogant bully.

"Nothing really? I just want to make friends with my beautiful Miss Lin Yifei," Ma Yihang responded with a sleazy smile.
