The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3565 Long time no see?
Beneath the Heavenly Arena, a battle has just ended.

Ning Hesheng put his share of the spoils into his spatial ring, walked to the side, and sat down in silence.

Sun Yixiao sat next to Ning Hesheng, looked up at the sky, and looked somewhat lost.

"Three years..."

Ning Hesheng glanced at Sun Yixiao and said, "If he wasn't thrown out of the Heavenly God Arena, there are only two possibilities: either he died or he passed the Heavenly God Arena. He has three tokens, so with his strength, he should have passed."

After a pause, Ning Hesheng added, "With his abilities, if he can't pass, then no one else can either."

Sun Yixiao sighed and said, "I'm not actually worried about his strength. After all, there are two experts in his Linglong Tower, and he has a lot of Devouring Toads on his body. As long as it's not a Saint who makes a move and his strength is overwhelming, he can definitely handle it."

Ning Hesheng frowned: "Are you worried about his identity?"

Sun Yixiao nodded: "Yes, in the eyes of the Celestial Clan, we are a lowly alien race. If more than one person passes the Celestial Arena, then he will inevitably be targeted by others."

“I even worry that the rules of inheritance in the Sacred Ruins might exclude alien races first…”

Ning Hesheng remained silent.

This is indeed a problem.

The arrogance of the Celestial Race is ingrained in their bones, so it's normal for them to look down on other races. If the Holy Domain has the will of a Saint, then it's also normal for him to despise other races.

The two looked at each other in silence.

Although Ning Hesheng is a member of the Celestial Race, and his life is in Lin Chen's hands, his feelings towards Lin Chen have become very complicated after spending time together.

Logically speaking, from his perspective, he would have preferred Lin Chen to fail or die, because he knew very well that given Lin Chen's personality, as long as it didn't involve them, even if he were to die, he would never drag them down with him.

Lin Chen is dead, and I am now free. I even have the spirit of the Great Dao, which allows me to break through to sainthood smoothly.

Lin Chen died, and Ning Hesheng became a saint. Logically speaking, this should be the best ending. However, for some reason, Ning Hesheng did not want Lin Chen to fail.

Ning Hesheng didn't know why, but that was what he was thinking.

He inexplicably hoped that Lin Chen would succeed and be able to inherit the legacy.

"No news is good news, let's wait and see."

Sun Yixiao turned his head to look at Ning Hesheng, his gaze somewhat peculiar.

Ning Hesheng noticed Sun Yixiao's expression: "What's with that expression?"

Sun Yi chuckled and said, "I'm just wondering, he and I come from the same place, we're both human, and we have a relationship, so I won't go into that. But you, as a member of the Celestial Race, are still being controlled by him. How come it feels like you're on his side too?"

Ning Hesheng remained silent for a few seconds, but did not deny it: "Although he controlled my life, he did not humiliate me or deprive me of my self-respect. He even gave me hope, and truly made it come true. He really gave me the spirit of the Great Dao, and I have wasted a long time for this spirit of the Great Dao..."

"He could have enslaved me, exploited me to death, but he didn't. The path he chose was full of excitement and unpredictability, and the future dazzled me. He's different from others. If he succeeds this time, I can't even imagine his future..."

Ning Hesheng's eyes gleamed: "Qiyun Sect isn't some powerful or prestigious sect. Even with three Saints in the sect, their achievements are just so-so, and their lives are just so-so. Even though they are Saints, within the Saint hierarchy, they are still just ordinary beings, and there's never any possibility of them standing out." "I've never felt that I'm weaker than those geniuses from powerful families, but being born into Qiyun Sect has limited me. My future is probably just like that. But being with Lin Chen, I've discovered that things don't have to be so pessimistic."

"Lin Chen came from an ordinary person, but he is no weaker than any cultivator. Even if it is a proud son of the Celestial God Clan, he still dares to fight desperately and take him down."

"In the battle of the Trial Grounds, he defeated two of the four universally acknowledged prodigies and geniuses, and arrived in the Celestial Realm. In such a short time, he seized multiple portions of the Great Dao Spirit, completing his preparations for breaking through to sainthood. He was not even satisfied, and came to participate in the competition for the Saintly Domain's inheritance..."

Ning Hesheng said with a sigh, "I think I've figured it out now. Lin Chen will either die halfway through his cultivation journey, or he will inevitably reach the peak of cultivation and become someone that no one dares to provoke."

“Following him might not end well, but I have to say, it’s really exhilarating. If you’re not convinced, just fight. No matter who the other party is, no need to think, just do it. I find this style very comfortable.”

"Besides, Elder Qianye has already approached the Qiyun Sect. What we did before may have been exposed. Now I am a traitor in the Qiyun Sect. I have no way back. Even if following Lin Chen means death, I have no choice but to go all the way."

Sun Yi chuckled: "Just hang in there. As long as he's not dead, there's always a chance. Knowing that kid as I do, unless Ancestor Chen wants him dead and takes action himself, no one in this Holy Domain can do anything to him. At most, he can just hide somewhere and buy some time..."

The two were talking when they suddenly stopped in unison and looked up at the sky.

Not only the two of them, but all the other challengers who stopped here looked up at the sky, their eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.

What happened? The sky suddenly changed color.

Everyone looked at the sky with confusion, feeling both uneasy and fearful. Since they arrived here, the sky had never changed, but now it was suddenly filled with clouds, as if brewing some huge change, something that had never happened before.

"what happened?"

"careful!"

"Everyone be on alert!"

Suddenly, a golden light flashed across the sky, and a tall, giant ape wielding an iron rod appeared in the air.

Upon seeing everyone, the giant ape let out a ferocious roar, then brandished its club and charged towards them.

In an instant, chaos erupted.

The giant ape showed no mercy, and people were constantly struck by its iron rod, instantly turning into a cloud of blood mist. Everyone panicked and scattered in all directions.

Ning Hesheng and Sun Yixiao fled into the distance in terror, but suddenly a golden light appeared in front of them.

Before Ning Hesheng and Sun Yixiao could react, they heard a familiar voice.

In that brief moment of distraction, Ning Hesheng and Sun Yixiao were enveloped by the golden light, and their figures vanished instantly.

Once Ning Hesheng and Sun Yixiao adjusted to the changing expressions before them, they found themselves in a beautiful landscape, with Lin Chen smiling at them.

"It's been three years, how have you been?"
