The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3578 Master, I need your help

Since Lin Chen already considered Wang An as someone he was determined to kill, there was naturally no need for him to be furious.

Perhaps in other people's eyes, this is a case of daring to be angry but not daring to speak out, but so what?
Isn't that perfect!

The alien slaves, nearly losing their lives in the face of the humiliation inflicted by the Celestial Saint, dared not utter a single act of resistance.

What a logical and reasonable argument!

If that's the case, then if Wang An were to die unexpectedly in the future, who would think of themselves?

"Wang An! I'm warning you, although Lin Chen is of a different race, he is Huo Ling Shuang's person and is also considered a disciple of my Tianhe Sect. If you disregard seniority and injure or kill him, it will inevitably provoke a war between the two sects, and you will have to bear the consequences!"

Ignoring Zhang Chenghu's stern warning, Wang An laughed and said, "It's just a test of skills, no need to be so nervous. Let's go, I'll wait for your results."

Wang An arrogantly led his team away. Behind them, Zhang Chenghu's face was ashen, and Zhao Yilong's expression was cold.

They naturally guessed Wang An's plan, but since Lin Chen was safe and sound, and Wang An was using the test as a pretext, they couldn't really turn against him. They could only watch Wang An leave triumphantly.

Ultimately, the reason why the Azure Python Sect is stronger than the Heavenly Crane Sect is because of this. Otherwise, how could Wang An have dared to be so presumptuous?

After Wang An and the others left, Zhao Yilong turned his head and looked at Lin Chen with a complicated expression.

"Lin Chen, I'm sorry, we're afraid we can't help you with this..."

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "I understand."

Zhang Chenglong frowned: "What do you understand?"

Lin Chen replied, "He wants to make an example of someone. He doesn't dare to target Huo Ling Shuang and other formal disciples of the Heavenly Crane Sect. I, a slave of a different race, am the best target. It serves as a demonstration without completely enraging the Heavenly Crane Sect."

"Wang An insisted that it was just his appreciation for the younger generation, and that his action was an expression of his appreciation for me. So there was no reason for him to step forward. Most importantly, the Tianhe Sect was not as strong as the Cangmang Sect and only had the ability to defend itself, so it was impossible for them to initiate a war."

"I am already very grateful to the two seniors for their immediate help in getting me out of trouble. There's no need to worry about them standing up for me. Anyway, I wasn't injured. It's best not to cause any more trouble before the mining battle."

Zhao Yilong and Zhang Chenghu exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

That kid's impressive!

See things clearly!
Zhang Chenghu said in a deep voice, "You need to understand one thing: the reason we are not standing up for you is not because you are a member of a different race or because you are Huo Ling Shuang's subordinate and have a low status, but because, as you said, our Tianhe Sect is indeed much weaker than the Cangmang Sect."

“Even if he attacked a disciple of the Heavenly Crane Sect, or even Huo Ling Shuang, as long as he wasn’t injured, it would be difficult for us to fight him in a serious battle.”

"We originally came here with the mindset of watching a show. Only my senior brother and I, the only saints from the sect, came. Even if we made a move, we wouldn't be able to do anything to them, and we might even be humiliated by them..."

Lin Chen cupped his hands and said, "This junior understands and has no resentment in his heart. On the contrary, the two seniors stepped forward immediately to rescue me and even explained things to me. This junior is already very grateful."

Lin Chen's words weren't entirely untrue. The instant Wang An made his move, Zhang Chenglong attacked Wang An, Zhao Yilong flashed in front of the two of them, and Huo Ling Shuang roared with flames to attack Wang An. This was an almost instinctive choice.

Even though their actions were largely ineffective—if Lin Chen hadn't saved himself, they wouldn't have been able to save him at all—whether they could have saved him or not wasn't important; acting instinctively in the first instance was the key. Moreover, the two had issued an extremely stern warning to Wang An, even threatening to incite a sect war. While this was primarily to uphold the dignity of the Heavenly Crane Sect, it was ultimately also a way of protecting themselves.

At this moment, Lin Chen felt a bit more favorably disposed towards the Tianhe Sect.

Although the strength of the Heavenly Crane Sect seems to be not very good, the atmosphere within the sect seems to be quite good.

Zhao Yilong comforted him gently, "He had an excuse when he attacked you unexpectedly before. Now that we have revealed your identity, if he attacks you again, it would be deliberately provoking conflict between sects and triggering a sect war. He cannot bear that responsibility, so you don't need to worry. He will not attack you again."

Lin Chen nodded: "This junior understands."

Zhao Yilong laughed and said, "You guys go back and rest first. We still need to discuss the bet they proposed."

Lin Chen followed Huo Ling Shuang into her residence. After Huo Ling Shuang closed the door, she bowed to Lin Chen and said apologetically, "Master, I'm sorry. I didn't expect this to happen. If I had known, we would have left right after we met and not stayed any longer."

Lin Chen smiled and helped Huo Ling Shuang up as she apologized, saying, "This was purely an accident and has nothing to do with you, so why would I blame you?"

Huo Ling Shuang breathed a sigh of relief. She naturally knew that this was indeed an accident, but what could she do when her life was in Lin Chen's hands?

If Lin Chen is suspicious, or if he blames me for the incident, what good will come of it?
You must understand that Lin Chen at this moment not only controls his own life, but is also a saint, pretending to be weak while actually being strong.

"Master, how do you plan to deal with this?"

Lin Chen smiled calmly: "A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years. I will remember this. One day, he will pay the price."

Lin Chen has just advanced to the Saint realm, and although his strength is far superior to most Saints of the same realm, Wang An is obviously a prominent figure in the Cangmang Sect, and his strength is naturally not low. It will probably not be so easy for Lin Chen to kill him.

Huo Ling Shuang felt a chill run down her spine. She had been inside the Linglong Tower and knew many of Lin Chen's secrets. Naturally, she also knew that Lin Chen was definitely not a soft-hearted person. Wang An's deadly attack on Lin Chen today had clearly thoroughly enraged him.

At this moment, Wang An probably had no idea what kind of person he had provoked, and was quite pleased with himself.

After a brief exchange, Lin Chen returned to his room and entered a meditative state to rest.

When Wang An attacked him, he did not use his true strength, as this would make it easy for others to see that he was a saint. He used the Immortal Emperor's Decree that the Immortal Emperor had given him that day.

The Immortal Emperor decreed that the token contained an array that could store the power of three saints. After Lin Chen became a saint, he understood that the token was actually a rechargeable magic weapon. As long as a saint was willing to charge it, it could be used repeatedly.

Lin Chen is currently posing as a sub-saint, so he charges the token so that it can be disguised as his talisman in critical moments.

For example, today, he activated the Immortal Emperor's Decree and blocked Wang An's attack. No one noticed anything unusual; everyone thought that Lin Chen reacted quickly and saved their lives.

After sitting cross-legged for half a day, a knock came at the door.

Huo Ling Shuang walked in, looking somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Master, I need your help now..."
