The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3590 Are you interested in joining the Snow Phoenix Palace?
"Even with Junior Sister Huo's strength, it took her joining forces to defeat you. It seems you are quite powerful!"

Lin Chen humbly replied, "I know a little bit of spatial techniques for escaping, so I could have escaped. But I encountered Senior Sister Huo's anti-air magic ball and couldn't run away. I was no match for them working together, so I was captured."

Xi Yunlang smiled and said, "There are thousands of sub-saints in the Heavenly God Realm, but there are not many who can compare with Junior Sister Huo. You must be a top genius in your world."

Lin Chen replied, "We call our place the Immortal Realm. There are only a few Saints there, and they all found their opportunities in the Star Sea Trial Grounds. I am indeed considered quite powerful in the Quasi-Saint sequence, but there aren't many Quasi-Saints there. I estimate there are only a few hundred in total."

Xi Yunlang exclaimed, "The concentration of spiritual energy in your area is definitely not comparable to that of the Celestial Realm, and your cultivation must be facing obstacles and bottlenecks, making breakthroughs very difficult, right?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, it's very difficult. To reach the level of a Quasi-Saint, one must break through the realm at least ten times. Each breakthrough involves facing enormous dangers. If one fails, one will most likely perish, with one's soul scattered and one's body and soul extinguished."

"Breaking through realms more than ten times is equivalent to undergoing death tribulations more than ten times?"

Xi Yunlang sighed, "It's not easy, but this shows how talented you are. If you were given the cultivation environment of the Celestial Realm, you could probably reach even greater heights."

After a pause, Xi Yunlang suddenly spoke without warning: "I admire you. Would you be interested in joining my Snow Phoenix Palace and becoming a formal disciple?"

Upon hearing Xi Yunlang's words, everyone's eyes widened.

Huo Ling Shuang began, "Senior Brother Xi, he has now joined our Heavenly Crane Sect..."

Xi Yunlang laughed and said, "He joined the Heavenly Crane Sect because of you, but he didn't actually become a disciple of the Heavenly Crane Sect, did he?"

Huo Ling Shuang couldn't refute it: "That's true, but..."

Xi Yunlang interrupted Huo Ling Shuang and said gently, "Junior Sister Huo, don't be in a hurry. Now that I've made this offer, I certainly won't take what belongs to someone else for nothing. I'm willing to pay the price. Junior Sister Huo, you can name your price. As long as you speak, I won't haggle."

Huo Ling Shuang said in a deep voice, "Although he is from a different race, his elders in the sect value him highly..."

"No matter how much you value him, he's still a different race, isn't he?"

Xi Yunlang smiled and said, "Junior Sister Huo, if you didn't control his life, would someone as extraordinary as him, who stands at the pinnacle of the world, be willing to be your slave or your subordinate?"

"If you are confident, would you dare to relinquish control over him and let him make his own choice?"

Huo Ling Shuang had no rebuttal.

She couldn't very well say that she didn't control him, could she?

To outsiders, what Xi Yunlang just said was an undeniable fact.

Those captured alien demigods, if their lives weren't controlled by others, who would willingly become slaves, subordinates, servants, risk their lives for others, and become cannon fodder at any time?

"Perhaps Senior Brother Huo is right, but we have no intention of letting him leave Tianhe Sect."

Huo Ling Shuang's words were euphemistic, but in other words, it meant that his life was in her hands, and no matter how much she admired or liked him, she wouldn't sell him!

Xi Yunlang remained calm and smiled as he looked at Lin Chen, saying, "Don't worry about Junior Sister Huo's opinion for now. Tell me your own thoughts."

"If you are willing to join the Snow Phoenix Palace, I will remove the control measures on you and give you true freedom. Even if you are of a different race, no one will dare to bully a disciple of the Snow Phoenix Palace, no matter who you are.

“If you don’t mind, I can introduce you to my master and ask him to take you as his disciple. That way, you’ll be my junior brother. With that status, no one will dare to bully you, even within the Snow Phoenix Palace.” “As long as you’re willing, you don’t need to worry about anything else. I will discuss it with the Heavenly Crane Sect and your other half of your master. I will pay a sufficient price, and I think they will give me some face and grant you your freedom.”

Lin Chen paused for two seconds: "Thank you for your appreciation, Sage. However, I have dealt with many people from the Heavenly Crane Sect, and they have all treated me quite well. Senior Sister Huo has also been very kind to me. I still want to stay in the Heavenly Crane Sect."

There is no free lunch in the world!
Lin Chen didn't believe that Xi Yunlang genuinely appreciated him; he was probably after the magical artifact he possessed.

Or perhaps, the spirit of the star chart?

Although Lin Chen had never dealt with Xi Yunlang before, and logically speaking, he shouldn't know about the Star Chart Spirit, don't forget that he just said he once sent people to inquire about the buyer of the Saint-grade Fire Qilin!
There is a certain probability that he knew he would be able to perform a star jump.

If she were a great beauty, then given his reputation as a romantic saint, Lin Chen might be willing to believe that the other party had taken a liking to her and wanted to take her in, so they were willing to pay the price to help her gain her freedom.

What could a grown man like me possibly want from me?
Do not believe!

I absolutely do not believe it!

Xi Yunlang smiled and said, "Very well, life is controlled by others. It is indeed a bit unreasonable for me to ask you what you think. I will discuss this matter with the Sect Master of Tianhe Sect later. Once the Sect Master of Tianhe Sect speaks, you will no longer have any worries, right?"

Huo Ling Shuang couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother Xi, why are you doing this? Is it perhaps for that Saint-grade Fire Qilin?"

Xi Yunlang chuckled and said, "The Saint-grade Fire Qilin is good, but it can't compare to him. I just admire his talent and think that if he joins the Snow Phoenix Palace, he will definitely have a better future and will also strengthen the Snow Phoenix Palace."

"Although Snow Phoenix Palace is a sacred place, we Snow Phoenix Palace disciples have a responsibility when we travel outside: to discover good talents and bring them back to the sect as much as possible. Only with more talents can the sect develop better and better, instead of facing a shortage of successors."

Xi Yunlang spoke with great conviction, but Lin Chen didn't believe a single word he said.

I believe you!
Huo Ling Shuang didn't say much. Anyway, he had already said that he would discuss it with the sect leader in the future, so there was no need for her to have any verbal conflict with him now.

"If Senior Brother Xi insists, there's nothing Ling Shuang can do. If the Sect Master issues an order in the future, I will naturally follow it."

Xi Yunlang smiled and said, "Don't worry, the Tianhe Sect can't refuse the conditions I set."

Huo Ling Shuang's heart sank. What was Xi Yun Lang going to do?
What kind of conditions would he offer that the sect leader couldn't refuse?

I'll have to remind the sect leader when I get back. What if the sect leader is really tempted and decides to sell Lin Chen? Then I won't be able to deliver the goods!

Huo Ling Shuang could foresee that once the sect leader betrayed Lin Chen, Lin Chen would turn around and run away with her, and in the end, she would be the one to take the blame. Perhaps she would also become a traitor to the Tianhe Sect.

Lin Chen's expression remained calm, but his heart skipped a beat.

Is Xi Yunlang targeting me?

They won't give up until they get what they want?

However, Xi Yunlang probably doesn't know that at this moment he is not only a free man, but also a saint!
If you try to scheme against me, don't blame me for giving you a big reward in return!
