The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3508 The Last One?
"Exchanging them at the temple of the gods is naturally the safest option, but what about outside the temples?"

Duanmu calmly replied, "Even the spirit of the Great Dao is moved, so do you think there might be some people with ulterior motives who are watching the temple and those who might make a move in advance?"

"The reason I said it's safer to exchange at the temple is because I am a saint. Even if people know that I possess the spirit of the Great Dao, few dare to attack me directly. After all, if a real fight breaks out, it could affect the city and invite divine punishment from the gods, which no one can afford."

"On the other hand, don't you have Star Jump? As long as we successfully exchange for it, we can leave easily and safely. Even if someone is watching us, they won't be able to keep up with us."

Lin Chen suddenly realized and sighed, "Exchanging for the Spirit of the Great Dao sounds easy, but it's actually not easy at all. If you're not careful, you might lose your life."

Duanmu Wen calmly replied, "Take a gamble, and you might become a saint. Given the chance, who wouldn't want to take a gamble?"

"Although the temples belonging to the gods are willing to exchange, they only care about what happens inside the temple. Once you leave the temple, they will not care about anything that happens."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Although the gods are high above, the staff in the God Temple are not gods after all. It's possible that they are the ones who leaked a lot of exchange information."

"This is entirely possible."

Duanmu Wen sneered, "If I work in the temple, and someone around me needs the Spirit of the Great Dao, I don't have the authority to give it to them directly. However, when someone comes to exchange it and leaves, I can reveal that information. Whether that person has any problems after leaving is none of my business."

"If you do someone a favor, receive the benefits, but bear no responsibility, who wouldn't do that?"

Lin Chen chuckled: "Never mind them, as long as we can exchange them normally, that's fine. Let's head to the Water God Temple now and not waste any more time. After all, many people probably already know the address of the Holy Domain and have already gone there."

The auction house had given Nangong Li a month, but unfortunately, instead of going to the Holy Domain first, he wanted to try becoming a live-in son-in-law, which caused the time to be delayed and ultimately he lost all opportunities, even becoming a prisoner himself.

Nangong Li must be filled with remorse when he thinks about this.

If he had bought the rubbing and the address and then rushed to the Chenzu Sacred Domain, he might be adventuring there now. How could the subsequent series of events have happened, leading to his loss of freedom and becoming a prisoner?
Lin Chen looked at the group of people in front of him and said with a smile, "How about this, to reduce trouble, when we travel outside, Duanmu Wen and Ning Hesheng will accompany you. With a sage leading the way, there will definitely be no trouble."

Duanmu Wen naturally had no objection, after all, Lin Chen was the master, and what he said was not a discussion, but an order.

The three left the Linglong Tower. Lin Chen first used Star Jump to reach the point closest to the Water God Temple, and then began their journey.

Just as Lin Chen said, with a sage leading the way, the journey was smooth and unimpeded.

Lin Chen followed the two without anyone asking any questions. Isn't it normal for a saint to be accompanied by a foreign servant?

The three-person group resembled a saint with his disciples and a servant, which was very realistic and left no room for doubt.

The three of them traveled for quite some time before finally arriving at the Temple of the Water God.

The Water God Temple is located on an isolated island in the middle of a vast ocean. The island itself is not very large, but the Water God Temple is built with a towering entrance and a magnificent presence.

Lin Chen had seen all sorts of palaces, from the palaces of the Immortal Realm Lord to the palaces of the Immortal Emperor and the Demon Emperor, but they all paled in comparison to the Water God Palace before him.

The walls of the Water Temple are the same deep blue color as the sea, and there are ripples constantly appearing on the walls of the entire palace, giving people the illusion that this majestic Water Temple is not on land, but on the seabed under the sun.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Water God Temple, the three were registered by designated staff who verified their identities and the purpose of their visit.

"Duanmu asked, 'Sage, Master of Tianwen Valley.'"

"Ning Hesheng, the Second Sage, is Duanmu Wen's son-in-law." "Lin Chen, the Second Sage, is Duanmu Wen's servant."

"We came here to exchange for a water-attribute Dao Spirit. We wonder if you still have any in stock?"

After the staff finished registering the information, they smiled and said, "You're lucky, there should be one more. Come with me."

One serving!
Lin Chen was overjoyed; it seemed he was in good luck.

Follow the staff into the main hall, through a wide corridor, and finally into a huge room.

The room was furnished like a business hall, with many chairs on both sides of the entrance, and in front, there was a light blue desk with many staff members busy at work.

Many people were sitting on the chairs on both sides of the waiting area, each holding a number and queuing to handle their business.

Those who come to the Water God Temple are not all there to exchange for Water Attribute Great Dao Spirits; most are there to handle other business, since this is the central hub for the Water God to manage the entire region.

Although the water god is high above, the entire territory needs rules to function properly, and the water god's temple is the guarantee that these rules will function normally.

"Please come this way with me."

The staff member led the three to a desk at the very back and spoke a few words with the staff inside.

The staff member picked up a pen and wrote: "Please state in advance what type of Dao Spirit you brought, and its condition. We will have someone check it. If the Dao Spirit you provided is defective, we reserve the right to refuse to provide you with exchange services..."

Lin Chen listened to the staff's explanation from the side, his mood quite complicated.

I never imagined that there would be such a business processing procedure in the temples of the celestial realm!

Isn't this similar to the procedures for handling affairs in the world after one's birth?

Queue up, take a number, and process your transaction at the counter...

Although Duanmu Wen was a saint while the staff member opposite him was only of average strength, he still nodded obediently and answered the staff member's questions.

Just as Duanmu was answering a question, another staff member walked over from behind with a middle-aged man.

"Is there still the Spirit of the Great Dao? He came to exchange for the Spirit of the Great Dao."

The staff member who was registering Duanmu Wen replied, "There's only one left. This gentleman is registering. If there's no problem with the Dao Spirit he provides for the exchange, then there won't be any more."

The middle-aged man frowned, glanced at Duanmu Wen and the others, and said nothing. He turned around and said a few words to the staff member who was leading the way. Then the staff member led him to the passage next to him and went straight inside.

Lin Chen frowned upon seeing this.

Something doesn't seem right here.

This man seems to be someone with connections.
