The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3509 Young Master of Chiba City?
Not only Lin Chen, but Duanmu Wen and Ning Hesheng also turned their heads and frowned as they watched the middle-aged man disappear into the passage.

The staff member glanced back, and his expression was no longer as focused as before.

After registering, the staff member picked up the form.

"Please wait a moment, I'll go apply and go through the procedures."

After the staff left, Ning Hesheng said in a low voice, "I felt like she was being very perfunctory afterwards."

Duanmu Wen's face was ashen: "I'm afraid someone used connections."

Ning Hesheng asked, "Then what do we do?"

Duanmu asked in a low voice, "Let's talk about it later. This is the Water God Temple."

Lin Chen understood what Duanmu Wen meant. He was saying that no matter what, they couldn't mess around here. After all, this was the Water God Temple. If something really happened, the Water God would descend and suppress them directly, and then they would have nowhere to turn to cry.

The three waited nearby, and after a short while, the staff member who had greeted them earlier came over.

"We need to assess the quality of the Dao Spirit you brought. Please follow me."

All three of them had their eyes light up.

Can it still work?
The three followed the staff through the passage and were then led into a room where an elderly man in a light blue robe sat at a desk, scrutinizing them.

"Take it out."

The old man didn't exchange any pleasantries and went straight to the point.

Duanmu Wen took out the Dao Spirit Sealing Tool that Lin Chen had given him and handed it to the old man.

The sealing device floated in the air, but the old man didn't touch it. His body emitted golden light, which fell on the sealing device. After a while, the golden light subsided, and the old man frowned and waved his hand, sending the sealing device flying back.

"The quality is low, it's not pure enough, it's inferior."

Duanmu asked, his eyes wide: "This spirit of the Great Dao is so pure, how could it not be pure enough?"

The old man sneered, "Are you the appraiser or am I? Take it away, take it away, don't waste my time."

Duanmu Wen retrieved the floating spirit of the Great Dao, said no more, and turned to leave.

The staff member waiting nearby led the three back to the hall and said apologetically, "The Dao Spirit you brought was only rated as low-grade, while the last water-attribute Dao Spirit we have left is of excellent quality and has been rated as high-grade. According to the rules, only Dao Spirits of the same grade can be exchanged. Your Dao Spirit is low-grade, so we cannot exchange it for you."

"If you have other Dao Spirits, you can bring them out for appraisal. As long as the quality matches, we can exchange them for you. If not, we can only apologize. However, we can put you in the queue. When the Water God provides Dao Spirits next time, we will exchange them for you immediately."

Duanmu Wen said in a deep voice, "We have no other Dao Spirits."

The staff member nodded: "Would you like me to put you in line?"

Duanmu asked, "When will the Water God next provide the Spirit of the Great Dao?"

The staff member replied, "I don't know. Sometimes it's long, sometimes it's short. It's a matter for the gods, how dare we rush it?"

"Okay, please."

Duanmu glanced at Lin Chen and calmly said, "No need to queue."

"it is good!"

Lin Chen suddenly spoke up: "Since we're not going to queue anymore, could we get our application forms back?"

The staff member handed the previous form back to Duanmu Wen.

Without saying another word, the three of them left the counter.

Duanmu Wen transmitted his voice, saying, "They're lying to us. This piece of Dao Spirit is definitely not low-grade. They've probably already given the last piece of Dao Spirit to that middle-aged man from before. Saying our Dao Spirit is unqualified is just an excuse to refuse us. After all, this is the Water God Temple; they can't openly let others cut in line." "Even if we bring out another piece of Dao Spirit, it will still be deemed unqualified and we won't be able to exchange it. Moreover, we might be targeted because of it..."

Lin Chen nodded; he naturally understood why Duanmu had given that answer earlier.

It's okay if the replacement doesn't go smoothly, but don't put yourself in a trap.

"What do we do now?"

"Let's go first."

Lin Chen did not linger, after all, this was the Water God Temple, and their actions of exchanging for the Great Dao Spirit had probably already been noticed by those with ulterior motives.

As the three left the Water God Temple, they were indeed followed by gazes. Duanmu Wen intentionally or unintentionally released a saintly aura, and those gazes disappeared instantly.

Since he is a sage, he is not easy to deal with.

After leaving the Water God Temple, the three stopped in a mountain forest.

"How to do?"

Lin Chen thought for a moment: "Try to find out about that man."

Ning Hesheng asked, "Are you planning to steal the water-attribute Dao spirit he obtained in exchange?"

Lin Chen replied, "Let's find out first, then we'll see. If we have the opportunity, we'll take action; if not, then forget it."

Ning Hesheng thought for a moment and said, "This person is quite familiar with the people in the Water God Temple, so he must have quite a background. It shouldn't be difficult to find out about him secretly."

Lin Chen nodded: "We've already appeared. If we ask directly, it will definitely arouse suspicion. We need to find someone else to ask."

Ning Hesheng laughed and said, "That's easy. There are quite a few people who come to the Water God Temple. As long as you offer some reward, someone will definitely be willing to take on this task."

Soon, the three of them met a middle-aged man who was walking hurriedly and seemed to be heading to the Water God Temple.

Ning Hesheng stepped forward to stop the man and had a brief conversation. Perhaps because Ning Hesheng offered a good reward, the middle-aged man readily agreed.

However, when Ning Hesheng used his magic to restore the middle-aged man's figure and appearance, the middle-aged man showed a strange expression.

"You want to find out his identity and background?"

Ning Hesheng nodded and said, "That's right."

The middle-aged man confirmed again, "As long as I tell you his identity and background, you will pay me, and you won't renege on your promise?"

"Yes, I'll give it to you as long as you find out the result."

Ning Hesheng answered, but suddenly noticed the other person's subtle expression, and suddenly came to his senses: "Could it be that you know him?"

The middle-aged man nodded: "Yes, I know him."

Ning Hesheng's eyes immediately became more wary. What a coincidence, could it be that he ran into that man's friend from before?

Seeing Ning Hesheng's expression, the middle-aged man knew that Ning Hesheng had misunderstood, and waved his hand, saying, "I know him, but that's because he's very famous. I have no relation to him."

Ning Hesheng's expression softened: "Who is he?"

The middle-aged man replied, "Young Master of Chiba City, Sha Qianhe."

Ning Hesheng asked, "Where is Qianye City? Which sect's territory is it in?"

The middle-aged man chuckled, "Qianye City doesn't belong to any sect. Qianye City belongs to Elder Qianye, who is extremely powerful and renowned far and wide..."
