The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3484 We have to give it a try, what if it works?

Standing behind Ning Hesheng, Lin Chen almost lost his composure while listening to Nangong Li's words.

Is this about hooking up with a rich woman, or hooking up with a powerful figure?
How to avoid taking countless detours?

That's actually quite tempting.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, what Nangong Li said is really true. If that woman is ugly, the winner of the martial arts contest who marries her might feel uncomfortable even sleeping in the same bed at night. But she is not only not ugly, but also very beautiful. Isn't that a win?
For cultivators, life is infinitely long. Since even a saint couldn't help that poor woman cultivate or restore her health, her lifespan was probably very limited.

The cultivator takes some time to live a peaceful life, or even have a child and accompany her through her short life. In return, he directly advances to the rank of saint. Isn't this avoiding detours?
Although there are many saints in the Celestial Realm, the number of Great Dao Spirits is not many, and is not infinite.

Lin Chen had inquired and learned that the spirit of the Great Dao was produced when the gods comprehended the Great Dao. It was a kind of byproduct and its quantity was limited, so it was not so easy to become a saint. Otherwise, with so many sub-saints in the God Realm, who wouldn't want to become a saint?
Ning Hesheng had actually already promised Lin Chen that he would go to Tianwen Valley to see what this martial arts contest for marriage was all about, but he couldn't just agree directly in front of Nangong Li.

Who knows if Nangong Li's proactive approach is driven by some ulterior motive?

He just participated in the bidding for the Fire Qilin Demon Beast Spirit. He probably wants me to travel with him so that he can quietly deal with me and then all my things will belong to him.

Ning Hesheng would definitely not agree to travel with Nangong Li, since it would be too dangerous to travel with him.

A wise person does not stand under a dangerous wall. Since you know the other party may have ulterior motives, why should you go and approach them?

Ning Hesheng declined, saying, "It sounds interesting. Maybe I'll go check it out later, but I have something important to do next, so I have to leave for a while."

Nangong Li smiled and said, "Although this place is not exactly my Tianxing Sect's territory, as a disciple of the Tianxing Sect, when I speak and do things around here, most people will still give me some face. If you need anything, please let me know. As long as I can do it, I will help you. Consider it making friends."

Make friends?
Would you be so kind?

There are so many people here, why don't you go and make friends with them instead of coming to me?

You clearly have ulterior motives.

Ning He calmly declined, saying, "It's nothing. If fate allows, let's meet in Tianwen Valley."

Nangong Li chuckled: "Fellow Daoist He, you seem to distrust me. But that's understandable. My proactive approach does seem to suggest I'm interested in the Fire Qilin demon spirit you purchased. Saying all this now is as if I want you to travel with me so I can find an opportunity to seize it..."

Ning Hesheng said calmly, "Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. I just have something to do and can't travel with you. If it weren't for that, I could have stayed safe with you, since there are quite a few people eyeing me."

Nangong Li chuckled, flicked his sleeves, and cupped his hands, saying, "Since that's the case, I won't say anything more to avoid any misunderstandings. If we're destined to meet again, let's meet at Tianwen Valley."

Ning Hesheng originally wanted to end his conversation with Nangong Li, but he couldn't help asking, "From what you're saying, fellow Daoist, are you planning to participate in this martial arts competition?" Nangong Li laughed heartily, "Even though my Tianxing Sect has countless powerful experts, the Spirit of the Great Dao is extremely rare. It's not a resource that can be found everywhere, where you can buy it if you see it, or even steal it if you can't buy it. The number of Spirits of the Great Dao is limited. In the vast Heavenly God Realm, how many people can obtain this opportunity?"

"I plan to go and hear the terms first. If the terms aren't too outrageous, I might as well participate and challenge some strong opponents. Consider it a friendly competition. After all, such a grand event is something we can't usually organize."

Nangong Li's statement was actually similar to Ning Hesheng's plan. He also wanted to go and see the specific situation first, to see what conditions the other party wanted to make, what he needed to give, and then decide whether to participate in the war.

Lin Chen had promised Ning Hesheng that if Ning Hesheng won the martial arts contest to find a husband, the Dao Spirit he obtained would belong to him, and Lin Chen would not requisition it.

Ning Hesheng naturally wanted to become a saint. Although becoming a saint did not mean he would be invincible, at least he would have made a name for himself and travel the world with more confidence. If he stayed in the sect, he would be a pillar of the sect.

The Qiyun Sect only has three great saints. If he succeeds, he will become the fourth great saint of the Qiyun Sect, with an extraordinary status. It can be said that he has turned his life around in one move. From then on, even if others have a background, they probably won't dare to provoke him.

This is the dignity of a saint.

Nangong Li suddenly sighed, "This matter has spread quite far. It is said that many powerful Quasi-Saints have already gathered there, all eager to start the martial arts contest for marriage."

"Although I believe my strength is unmatched among the Quasi-Saints, there are always stronger people out there. I dare not say that I can definitely win. I can only treat it as participating in an event. Otherwise, if I am too concerned about winning or losing, I will easily fall into a lower position."

Ning Hesheng hummed in agreement and said nothing more.

If you know everything you need to know, then there's no need to explain further.

Soon it was Nangong Li's turn. Nangong Li paid the bill with a flourish, received the rubbing, and also received a map marking the exact location of the Chenzu Sacred Domain.

Nangong Li held the map but didn't rush to look at it. Instead, he asked, "I know there's only one rubbing, but you must have many maps like this. Now that the rubbing has been sold, you'll probably continue selling the blueprints, won't you?"

The person in charge smiled and said, "We will definitely sell the blueprints, but in order to give priority to our customers, we will start selling the blueprints again after one month. So, if you are planning to explore this sacred place, please set off as soon as possible. During this one-month lead time, no one else will enter the sacred place and compete with you for the opportunity."

Nangong Li chuckled, a hint of mockery in his eyes: "You guys are quite thorough in your work."

The person in charge smiled and took out another jade slip, handing it to Nangong Li: "This is a map drawn by the last member of that adventure team who escaped from memory. It marks the location of the escape portal. With these, entering it will greatly increase your chances of survival."

"No matter what you gain, as long as you don't suffer a catastrophic disaster, you'll have a chance to leave. Moreover, this rubbing can be used repeatedly. In other words, you can explore little by little, then leave, prepare yourself, and enter again. By gradually going deeper in this way, wouldn't the chances of a successful exploration be much higher?"
