The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3589 I was right after all!
Huo Ling Shuang brought Lin Chen to the residence of Xue Feng Palace.

The Xuefeng Palace's accommodation platform is located at the highest point of the mountain. The accommodation is incredibly spacious, and the rooms are solemn and grand, clearly much better than those at Tianhemen.

The platform here offers a superb view, overlooking the beautiful scenery below and even seeing many other platforms below, giving you a sense of being on top of the world.

Although the disciples guarding the Snow Phoenix Palace wore smiles, their inherent arrogance was clearly palpable.

This confidence comes from the power of the sect.

After the announcement, Xi Yunlang appeared, smiling as he asked, "Junior Sister Huo has just fought two battles in a row, which must have taken a lot of energy. You should rest well. Why did you rush to see me? Is there something you need?"

Huo Ling Shuang took out the box containing the God-Breaking Pill and presented it with both hands: "I won this battle by chance, but because of that, I didn't have to use the God-Breaking Pill that Senior Brother Xi gave me before. Now that the competition is over, I've come to return it to its rightful owner."

"Although I am returning the pills, I will always remember Senior Brother Huo's help."

Xi Yunlang sighed, "Junior Sister Huo, you've given me a difficult problem."

Huo Ling Shuang asked, "What do you mean by that, Senior Brother Xi?"

Xi Yunlang laughed and said, "Everyone knows that I, Xi Yunlang, am generous, but now that I have given Junior Sister Huo a Divine Breaking Pill, you are returning it to me. It is hard to guarantee that people will not sigh that you have the nerve to ask for things back after giving them away. Is this just a pretense of generosity?"

Huo Ling Shuang smiled and said, "This matter has nothing to do with others, so there's no need to care about what others say."

The box containing the Divine Breaking Pill flew up and landed in front of Xi Yunlang.

Xi Yunlang smiled, grabbed the box, and casually tossed it to the stunning woman watching the show behind him.

"Since Junior Sister Huo insists on not wanting it, I will not force her. If I take it back, it will make me seem petty. So I will give it to my Sister Yao."

The stunning woman took the box and said with a grin, "If she doesn't want it, I won't be polite."

Xi Yunlang waved casually at the woman before turning around and inviting her, "Since you've come, Junior Sister, you should sit down. I recently acquired a new tea; would you please have me taste it?"

Xi Yunlang was being polite, so Huo Ling Shuang couldn't refuse.

On the one hand, the other party had just offered a valuable Breaking God Pill as a gift. Although the pill had been returned, the favor remained. On the other hand, Xi Yunlang was a saint of the Snow Phoenix Palace, a sacred place with a promising future, and Huo Ling Shuang could not refuse him.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Xi."

Xi Yunlang laughed and said, "Having someone to drink tea with and chat about everything under the sun is a great pleasure in life. Why be so polite... Yao-mei, come, let's have some tea together."

The stunningly beautiful woman smiled and nodded, then leaped down from the second floor of the building behind her.

Xi Yunlang walked to the edge of the platform and, under a vibrant tree, waved his hand. A tea table and chairs flew out from his spatial ring, complete with everything he needed.

Xi Yunlang smiled and extended his hand: "Junior Sister Huo, please sit down."

Huo Ling Shuang sat down in the chair opposite Xi Yun Lang, and Lin Chen naturally stood two meters behind her, acting like a servant.

Xi Yunlang glanced over and chuckled, "Please have a seat, fellow Daoist from another race."

Lin Chen was slightly surprised. He had just seen Xi Yunlang set out four chairs and thought that someone else was coming, but he didn't expect that they were set out for him.

Lin Chen bowed and politely declined, saying, "Thank you for the invitation, Your Majesty, but my status is too lowly, and I fear I might disturb Your Majesty's refined enjoyment. I will not drink this tea." Xi Yunlang chuckled and said, "Drinking tea here depends on fate, not status. Please sit down comfortably. I'm sure Junior Sister Huo won't mind, right?"

Now that things have come to this point, what could Huo Ling Shuang say? She could only smile and nod: "Of course I don't mind. Although he is from a different race, now that he has joined the Heavenly Crane Sect, he is considered a disciple of the Heavenly Crane Sect and my junior brother."

Lin Chen had no choice but to sit down next to Huo Ling Shuang.

"Thank you, Sage!"

As soon as Xi Yunlang began to brew tea, Lin Chen knew that the spring water and tea leaves used for brewing were all rare and top-quality ingredients.

In an instant, the aroma of tea filled the air, refreshing and intoxicating, leaving one feeling completely captivated.

Xi Yunlang poured tea for Huo Ling Shuang and Lin Chen first, then poured tea for the woman beside him, his movements gentle, and finally poured tea for himself.

Lin Chen sighed inwardly, "No matter how he flirts with girls, his charm is off the charts!"

He was the strongest, a saint, yet he was willing to invite a member of another race to sit down and personally brewed tea for everyone without the slightest discomfort. This carefree and easygoing attitude was truly admirable.

"Junior Sister Huo must have expended a lot of energy earlier. This tea has the effect of calming the mind and speeding up recovery. Junior Sister Huo, please have a couple more cups."

Huo Ling Shuang took a small sip and exclaimed, "Excellent tea!"

Xi Yunlang held his teacup, took a sip, savored the taste for a few breaths, and then swallowed the tea. He chuckled and said, "To be honest, I wasn't very optimistic about you before, which is why I gave you the Breaking God Pill, hoping it would increase your chances of winning. But it turns out I underestimated you."

Huo Ling Shuang replied, "Luo Mu Feng is very powerful. I won by sheer luck, relying on the advantage of my magic weapon."

Xi Yunlang smiled and said, "A few years ago, I heard about an auction of a Saint-grade Fire Qilin demon beast spirit, which was bought for 40 million divine crystals. Saint-grade Fire Qilins are rare to see. I wonder if the magic weapon you use is related to that Fire Qilin?"

Huo Ling Shuang answered frankly, "This magic weapon does not belong to me; I am merely borrowing it."

Xi Yunlang gave an "oh," his gaze falling on Lin Chen's face. He smiled and said, "Then this magic weapon must belong to you. You were the one who bought the Fire Qilin back then, weren't you?"

Lin Chen was startled and nodded, "Yes."

Xi Yunlang chuckled: "I was right. I found out about the auction of that Sacred-grade Fire Qilin too late. Otherwise, I would definitely have gotten involved. I even investigated who bought it and tried to buy it back at a high price..."

Lin Chen felt a little strange. Could it be that Xi Yunlang had actually investigated and knew that he was the one who bought the Sacred Grade Fire Qilin, which was why he was being so polite to him?
Is your next step to say that you are interested in this sacred fire unicorn and want me to offer a price to part with it?

"I just happened to come across it at the time, and I was lucky because there weren't many other people competing with me, which is how I managed to buy it."

Lin Chen lied without hesitation: "To buy this sacred-grade fire unicorn, I borrowed a lot of divine crystals from my other master, and I haven't paid them back yet."

Xi Yunlang smiled and said, "What is your explanation, Master? Why don't you tell me?"

Huo Ling Shuang continued, "I participated in the Star Sea Trial once before, competing for the Spirit of the Great Dao. I didn't get the Spirit of the Great Dao, but I did encounter him. He was fighting fiercely with another person, and I intervened to help. We joined forces and captured him. Since it was the two of us who captured him, we agreed to split ownership in half."

"However, the sect's senior uncles also value him highly and are preparing to find a way to remove the other half's constraints so that he can stay in the Heavenly Crane Sect wholeheartedly..."
