The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2835 He wants me to be his daughter-in-law?

Xuan Kong Men.

As soon as Lin Chen and Gong Jianying arrived and introduced themselves, they were immediately given a warm welcome.

Although Wanyan Bo ultimately failed to cross that threshold and become a Quasi-Saint due to his talent and opportunities, the two were old friends who had known each other for a long time.

Now that Master Taixu is renowned throughout the Immortal Realm and has become one of the top experts, this friendship has not faded away.

Gong Jianying is the youngest disciple of Master Taixu, and is very precious to him. He comes representing Taixu Mountain and Master Taixu, so he is naturally the most honored guest.

"Is Uncle Wanyan free right now? I'd like to see him."

Soon, Gong Jianying was taken to Wanyan Bo's residence and met Wanyan Bo.

When Wanyan Bo met Gong Jianying at his private residence, he clearly did not treat her as an outsider, which was also a way of showing closeness.

Wanyan Bo looked to be a middle-aged man in his forties, tall and rugged. Upon seeing Gong Jianying, he laughed heartily and said, "Little niece, it's been a long time!"

Gong Jianying bowed and said, "Uncle Wanyan, my master is currently exploring a rather special place and is unable to attend your birthday banquet in person. I am here on behalf of my master and Taixu Mountain to wish you a long and healthy life and that you will soon reach even greater heights."

Wanyan Bo laughed and said, "Good, you're very thoughtful. Your master is always busy; his footprints are all over the world. It's normal that he's not here. I'm very happy that you could come."

Gong Jianying handed over a spatial ring: "This is a birthday gift we prepared. Please accept it, Uncle."

Wanyan Bo readily accepted the gift, exchanged a few polite words, and then said, "There are still some days until your birthday celebration, so you can settle in comfortably. There are quite a few fun places around here, and I'll have my son take you around to explore."

Gong Jianying politely declined, saying, "The birthday banquet is approaching, and there are many things to do. There's no need to find someone to accompany me. Xuan Kong Sect is so big; I can just wander around when I have nothing to do."

Before Wanyan Bo could speak again, Gong Jianying said, "We came to Xuankong Sect ahead of schedule because something happened in the Red River Mountains. We're worried it might be related to Xuankong Sect, so we came to inform you in advance..."

Wanyan Bo asked, "What is it? Tell me."

Gong Jianying replied, "This is Lin Chen, a rising star whom my master greatly admires. He visited Taixu Mountain to inquire about the whereabouts of a certain demon beast. According to ancient records, it has been found in the Red River Mountains."

"I thought it was still early for Uncle Zuo's birthday banquet, so I accompanied him to the Red River Mountains first. As a result, he encountered some unbelievable things there..." Gong Jianying gestured for Lin Chen to tell the story himself. Lin Chen did not hide anything and told the whole story of how he entered the misty world in the Red River Mountains.

Wanyan Bo was all smiles at first, clearly not thinking anything serious, but after listening to Lin Chen's story, Wanyan Bo's expression became very serious.

Wanyan Bo pressed for details, and Lin Chen replied, "Originally, I also wanted to find out their origins, but because I was in the lion's den, I was afraid of being exposed, so I didn't dare to say anything or stay any longer. Therefore, I quickly took the initiative, blew up the altar, and escaped."

Wanyan Bo said in a deep voice, "Although we don't know their origins, the Red River Mountains are within the territory of our Xuan Kong Sect. The fact that they built an altar there and used teleportation makes it very likely that they are targeting our Xuan Kong Sect."

“I will immediately send people to the Red River Mountains to investigate. Regardless of who they are targeting, they are clearly up to no good, and our Suspended Mountain will take this matter seriously.”

"You blew up their altar, causing heavy casualties among their people. This can be considered as ending their plans. In any case, you helped my Suspended Mountain."

"Once I have investigated this matter, I will inform you and express my gratitude. For now, you can rest assured and stay here. You don't need to worry about this."

Lin Chen readily agreed: "Okay!"

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Gong Jianying took her leave. She didn't know what to talk about with her elders, and from the fact that Gong Jianying mentioned his son named Wanyan Jie several times, she felt that he had some kind of idea.

Gong Jianying and Lin Chen were taken to the guest residential area and settled in a detached building, a privilege reserved for distinguished guests.

The two had just settled in when someone came to visit them at the door; it was none other than Wanyan Jie.

Gong Jianying frowned and said, "Didn't I already refuse?"

Lin Chen laughed heartily: "I've summarized what he said earlier. Basically, he said he has a son who is about your age, a young and outstanding talent, and a perfect match for you..."

Gong Jianying's eyes widened: "You mean he wants me to be his daughter-in-law?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "He and the Master are old friends. If his son and the Master's favorite apprentice get together, wouldn't that make their relationship even closer?"
