The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3483 Marrying into a Family: Avoiding Thousands of Detours!
With the auction of the last item, the Spirit of the Fire Kirin, concluded, the entire auction came to an end.

Lin Chen followed Ning Hesheng to the backstage area to make payments and hand over the auctioned items.

Upon entering the backstage area, Lin Chen saw the young man in white standing with his hands behind his back, watching the handover process with a smile.

The order of payment is based on the auction item serial number, meaning Ning Hesheng was last in line. Therefore, Ning Hesheng was not in a hurry to go forward to pay and waited in place.

While they were waiting, the young man in white suddenly stepped forward and stopped in front of Ning Hesheng.

"Shouldn't you thank me? Otherwise, you might not have been able to buy this fire unicorn."

Ning Hesheng smiled slightly: "I really have to thank you. If you insist on bidding, I may have to pay a higher price."

Thank you, but you absolutely cannot admit that you have no money!
If I say I have no money, wouldn't that mean I owe someone a favor?
The young man in white smiled slightly: "Let's get acquainted. I'm Nangong Li from the Tianxing Sect."

Ning Hesheng's gaze shifted slightly, his eyes becoming more serious.

He didn't know Nangong Li, but he knew about the Tianxing Sect.

They had traveled westward before, and even passed through the Tianxing Sect.

The Heavenly Path Sect is the strongest sect in a wide area, and it is said that there are more than twenty saints in the sect. Nangong Li is actually a disciple of the Heavenly Path Sect, so he is really not someone to be trifled with.

Although this place is quite far from the Tianxing Sect, it is likely that if something really happens, Nangong Li can immediately summon the sect's saintly experts to forcibly suppress him.

Although the Qiyun Sect also has sages, they are clearly no match for the Tianxing Sect.

Ning Hesheng did not want others to know his identity. After all, he was the one who bought the Fire Qilin demon beast spirit. There were countless people in the auction house watching him. If he revealed his identity, wouldn't that just cause trouble for himself and his sect?

If this matter gets to the sect, the sect will surely ask, "Where did you get these 40 million divine crystals?"

There's no way to explain this myself.

Since they would be leaving Yuntian City and Lin Chen would be using a star jump, there was no need to reveal their real names.

"He Sen, a recluse."

"A freelancer?"

Nangong Li's smile deepened: "Then you'd better be careful. There were quite a few people watching you in the hall just now. After all, even though many people can't afford 40 million divine crystals, it doesn't stop them from being envious of a mid-grade Saint-level demon beast spirit."

Ning Hesheng remained calm: "Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist. You also auctioned the rubbing. These people are just as interested in exploring the Holy Domain as the spirits of mid-grade Saint-level demon beasts. Although you come from the powerful Tianxing Sect, you must be careful. There may be some vicious and desperate individuals who might try to take drastic measures."

Nangong Li chuckled: "I'd like to see who dares to cause me trouble. Then my Tianxing Sect can gain another batch of servants with decent abilities."

The Celestial Race will never be slaves. Therefore, even if a Celestial Race member tries to rob Nangong Li, if Nangong Li has the ability, he can kill or capture them and force them to serve him in the future. Although they are essentially slaves, due to the rules, they can only be called servants or subordinates. If all the races in the lower realms are slaves to the Celestial Race, and the Celestial Race members are also slaves, then what is the point of the Celestial Race's title of rulers of the universe?

Following behind Nangong Li was an elderly man with white hair. Judging from his attire, he was also a member of the Tianxing Sect. He was taciturn and was probably Nangong Li's servant or bodyguard.

Nangong Li smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist He, now that this matter is settled, where do you wish to go?"

Ning Hesheng replied, "I have no fixed abode and wander from place to place."

Nangong Li smiled and said, "Are you aware of the martial arts contest for marriage at Tianwen Valley?"

Ning Hesheng feigned ignorance, feigning curiosity: "A martial arts contest to choose a husband, what's that for?"

Nangong Li smiled and said, "A sage lives in Tianwen Valley. He has a daughter and wants to find her a husband, so he has chosen to hold a martial arts contest to find her a husband. Whoever wins the final contest will receive a piece of the Great Dao Spirit and the opportunity to break through to become a sage. Of course, he must be a good son-in-law, because this Great Dao Spirit is not something to be taken for free."

Nangong Li sized up Ning Hesheng: "Fellow Daoist He, are you single? You seem to be quite strong. You could give it a try."

Ning Hesheng frowned and said, "Since he has a daughter, why doesn't he just give this Dao Spirit directly to his daughter, so that she can become a saint, and then find a man she likes to be her husband? Wouldn't that be much simpler?"

Nangong Li smiled and said, "Many people's first reaction to this news is similar to yours, but I've inquired about it and there really is a reason for it."

"This saint's daughter was born with a terminal illness. If she were a normal person, she probably wouldn't have lived to adulthood. But her father was a saint, and he tried many ways to prolong his daughter's life. He also wanted his daughter to embark on the path of cultivation and become an immortal, so that she could have a stronger body and a longer life."

"However, his daughter's health was so bad that she was unable to cultivate at all. Even with countless spiritual medicines, her condition did not improve much, only slightly better than before."

Ning Hesheng pondered for a moment: "So, his daughter is an ordinary person?"

"Yes."

Nangong Li nodded affirmatively and replied, "Precisely because she is unable to cultivate, even though this sage obtained a portion of the Great Dao Spirit, he was unable to give it to my daughter to use."

"Considering that his daughter was unable to cultivate and had a limited lifespan, this sage made a decision: to find a husband for his daughter. He hoped that his daughter could have a complete life, a lover, and a child in her limited lifespan to continue her life."

"For his daughter, he was willing to offer the spirit of the Great Dao as a reward to recruit a powerful son-in-law to assist him in becoming a saint, and then have him take care of his daughter, love her well, and accompany her to the end of her life."

Ning Hesheng finally understood the cause and effect of the incident and couldn't help but exclaim, "What a good father!"

Nangong Li laughed and said, "That's right. Everyone admires this father very much, and many people hope to have this opportunity. I've inquired, and the sage's daughter is not only not ugly, but also very beautiful. It's just that her health isn't very good. So, marrying this woman as a wife would not only grant you a share of the Great Dao's spirit, but also a beautiful bride. It's definitely not a bad deal."

"Well, Fellow Daoist He, are you interested in giving it a try? Regardless of whether you love that woman or not, all you need to do is treat her well and dedicate a tiny bit of your time. It can save you from taking detours that could take tens of thousands of years..."
