"Are you here to hire security guards and bodyguards, or to pick a fight?" The pretty girl pondered for a momt before asking Lin Yun who was looking at her.

"Pick a fight?" Lin Yun was surprised and puzzled as to why the girl had asked such a question.

"You are very skilled. No ordinary martial family or sect can cultivate a studt like you. If you're backed by a powerful martial sect or family, do you still need to come to our Gold Sword Security Company to recruit security guards and bodyguards?" The girl furrowed her brows and questioned.

"You might have misunderstood. I've be practicing martial arts at a very ordinary martial arts gym near my house since I was young. I don't have any powerful sects or families supporting me. I came this time sincerely wanting to recruit some security guards and bodyguards." Lin Yun shook his head and explained.

He had heard his master occasionally mtioning martial sects and martial families. However, his master didn't go into detail, only warning him to be cautious if he ever countered such people, and not to offd them without just cause.

"Hmph, th let's have a match." The pretty girl huffed softly, seemingly not believing Lin Yun's words, and proposed.

As her words fell, she jumped onto the ring.

"You?" Lin Yun slightly furrowed his brows.

She looked several years younger than him and was a pretty girl. Would it be appropriate for them to spar?

"What? You look down on wom?" Seeing Lin Yun's furrowed brows, the pretty girl huffed disconttedly again.

"No..." Lin Yun quickly waved his hands to dy.

Of course, he didn't look down on wom. He knew that among wom, there were also experts. This time, he intded to hire a few female bodyguards to protect Xia Qingqing, which would be more convit.

He simply felt that this girl's age was too young and she was such a beautiful girl. Her wrists were so delicate, and the exposed skin seemed like jade. At first glance, she looked so fragile and not like someone who could bear hardship...

After the fight just now, he estimated that his strgth should now surpass most martial artists at the mid-Mingjin stage.

His master once said that his martial arts talt was excellt. He broke through to the mid-Mingjin stage at the age of eighte and if he continued practicing, he could pottially reach the late Mingjin stage before turning twty-eight. If he could find a compett master, he ev had hope of breaking through to the Dark Strgth realm in his lifetime.

Dark Strgth was a level that had world-rowned fame.

Although he hadn't practiced martial arts much in these five years, by a fortunate coincidce, his currt strgth wasn't inferior to his previous level after five years of diligt practice – it was ev slightly stronger.

This girl seemed about twty years old. Ev if she was also a martial arts practitioner, how strong could she be?

The girl's status in the Gold Sword Security Company seemed to be high. He was afraid of injuring her; that wouldn't be good.

"I'm making my move——"

However, before Lin Yun could say more, the pretty girl had already launched her attack, reaching towards Lin Yun's shoulder.

Seeing this, Lin Yun had no choice but to exchange blows with the girl.

Lin Yun reached out to block the girl's move, but quickly discovered that the girl's grab was just a ruse. Her body flashed, already attacking from the side. The angle was extremely tricky, which alarmed him. He hurriedly changed his move, rapidly countering the girl's attack.

"Bang——"

The next momt, their palms collided.

Lin Yun couldn't help but stagger backward several steps, feeling utterly shocked.

He realized that he had underestimated his oppont. This girl's strgth was unusually high, ev surpassing the A-level bodyguard he had fought earlier.

Right th, Lin Yun couldn't afford to take her lightly anymore.

"Bang——Bang——Bang——"

The two exchanged blows very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they had already sparred dozs of times.

Now that Lin Yun was prepared, he wasn't as hasty as before and managed to keep up with the girl. However, many spectators could see that Lin Yun was at a disadvantage, and going on this way, he would most likely lose.

"The young lady is actually gaining the upper hand against this man..."

"The young lady's strgth has increased again..."

"Dammit, if the young lady seeks us out for sparring in the future, it will be the d for us..."

"Do you guys think... this young man is going easy on the young lady?"

Many onlookers quietly discussed as they watched the battle unfold.

"Alright, I quit."

About another t minutes later, the girl found an opportunity to extricate herself from the fight. She leaped backward, leaving the battle circle, with a crisp voice, she announced.

Lin Yun, who was already struggling to defd himself, naturally stopped fighting wh he saw the oppont withdraw.

"Strange, you seem to be at the Mid Mingjin Stage, but your strgth far exceeds that of an average person at the same stage..." the beautiful girl on the stage furrowed her brow, pondering before speaking out.

Lin Yun gave a bitter smile, no longer underestimating this girl.

He couldn't help but marvel at the impressive talts hidd within Gold Sword Security Company. This girl, despite her young age, had already reached the Late Mingjin Stage.

Yes, after the just-concluded fight, he was certain that this girl was at the Late Mingjin Stage.

Ever since his mtal strgth began to develop, his sses had become incredibly sharp, and he was confidt he hadn't misjudged.

If his master saw this, he wouldn't know what to think.

Initially, his master had told him that reaching the Late Mingjin Stage at 8 would signal a great achievemt. He ev mtioned that with a good teacher guiding him, Yun had the pottial to reach the Dark Strgth stage in his lifetime.

This girl seemed to be in her early twties and had already reached the Late Mingjin Stage. Did this mean that her talt greatly surpassed his own? If she had a good teacher to guide her, perhaps she could easily break through to the Dark Strgth stage!

Lin Yun was aware that despite her only reaching the Late Mingjin Stage eight years earlier than planned, it represted a substantial gap.

This was because a martial artist's prime years range from sixte to about thirty-five. If one reached a high stage by thirty-five, the prime period could extd a few more years. If not, one's future achievemts would be limited.

A martial artist only had about twty prime years. This meant that the girl, being more talted than him, had an additional eight prime years. This was significant.

"I don't recognize your martial arts style. Are you from a martial arts family, or a martial arts school?" After a pause, the curious girl questioned.

Appartly, her fight with Lin Yun earlier was also a means of testing his origin.

"No, I've heard of martial arts families and schools, but I've never countered one." Lin Yun shook his head in response.

The girl couldn't help but laugh at the amusing response from Lin Yun.

This laughter greatly hanced the girl's beauty, lighting up the tire floor.

The staff of Gold Sword Security, mostly male, were stunned at the sight.

They feared this girl. On the one hand, she was breathtakingly beautiful with excellt fighting abilities, inducing admiration. However, every time she sparred with them, they were decisively defeated.

Being regularly defeated by a girl they admired didn't feel good.

On the other hand, the girl had a high status, which demanded their respect.

All these factors contributed to the staff's apprehsion of the girl.

But to be fair, 'apprehsion' might be too strong a word here. It was more of respect — respect for a goddess, respect for her status.

"Ahem, I'm Lin Mgmg, a disciple of the Gold Sword Sect. What's your name?" The beautiful girl cleared her throat before asking.

"The Gold Sword Sect?" Lin Yun was surprised.

Could it be that she was a disciple of the legdary martial arts sect?

"Gold Sword Security Company is a business of our sect." Seeing Lin Yun's astonishmt, Lin Mgmg was ev more amused.

"Um... alright... I'm Lin Yun..." Lin Yun gave a bitter smile.

Many people a watched Lin Mgmg as she spoke.

They knew something Lin Mgmg hadn't mtioned.

That was, Lin Mgmg wasn't just a disciple of the Gold Sword Sect; she was the only daughter of the sect leader.

That's why they referred to her as the young lady.

"Lin Yun? We share the same family name?" Lin Mgmg exclaimed.

"Yes, as extraordinarily skilled as you are, and you're recruiting our company's security guards and bodyguards. As a disciple of the Gold Sword Sect, I must take responsibility for our staff. So, would you mind sharing what you plan to do after hiring our staff?" After a pause, Lin Mgmg asked.
