The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3591 They'll send the people over themselves.

The tea was about over by then, since the atmosphere had become a bit awkward.

Huo Ling Shuang got up to take her leave, and Xi Yun Lang did not try to stop her.

Watching Huo Ling Shuang leave with Lin Chen, Xi Yunlang's eyes deepened.

The woman sitting next to him whispered, "Why are you so concerned about him? Is it because of the Fire Qilin magic weapon?"

Xi Yunlang chuckled and said, "The Fire Qilin is rare, but it doesn't match my attributes. Besides, with my current strength, given time, it wouldn't be too difficult for me to find one or two Saint-grade Great Demons in this world whose attributes match mine."

The woman blinked: "Does he have any other unusual characteristics?"

Xi Yunlang nodded: "Yes, you said that Huo Ling Shuang was saying things like joining her Tianhe Sect would make him like her junior brother, and that the sect would value him. Do you think there's no reason for that?"

The woman asked curiously, "What could a cultivator from another race, from a small place with scarce spiritual energy, possibly have that would be worth the Heavenly Crane Sect's attention?"

"Spirit of the Star Chart!"

Xi Yunlang revealed the answer: "This kid has some kind of luck. He only has the strength of a Quasi-Saint, yet he obtained the Star Chart Spirit, which is difficult even for Saints to obtain. Which sect wouldn't want someone like that?"

The woman suddenly realized and said in shock, "So he really does have good fortune. There's probably no other example of a Quasi-Saint possessing the spirit of a star map in the entire Celestial Realm, right?"

“There are examples of near-saints obtaining the spirit of the star map, but they cannot possess it continuously.”

Xi Yunlang sneered, "How could the high and mighty saints allow a sub-saint to possess something they themselves do not have?"

The woman chuckled and said, "No wonder Huo Ling Shuang was so nervous. She even said that the sect valued it. It turns out it was because of the Star Chart Spirit. Since they know this, why don't they just kill him and seize the Star Chart Spirit?"

Xi Yunlang smiled and said, "Have you forgotten the characteristics of the Star Chart Spirit?"

After a moment's thought, the woman suddenly realized: "I had forgotten that the Star Chart Spirit is an extremely special life form. To obtain the supernatural power of star leaping, one must gain the approval of the Star Chart Spirit. If it does not approve, even if you are a saint, you cannot do it."

"Moreover, the Star Chart Spirit is an extremely special life form. Even a saint cannot completely kill it, so threats to its life are useless..."

After a pause, the woman guessed, "Since the Star Chart Spirit has already recognized Lin Chen, and Lin Chen's life is in Huo Ling Shuang's hands, they don't need to worry about Lin Chen running away, nor do they need to kill him to seize the Star Chart Spirit, because even if they seize it, they may not be able to gain the Star Chart Spirit's recognition."

"Yes!"

Xi Yunlang replied, "When I first heard about the Fire Qilin, I sent people to get there, but we were too late. Lin Chen and his other half-master bought it first. My people inquired about the buyer and learned that he possessed the Star Chart Spirit."

"After he bought the Fire Qilin, many people were eyeing him, preparing to snatch it from him after they left the city. But Lin Chen simply jumped into the starry sky and disappeared on the spot, which infuriated those people."

“My man brought back the information he found. When I saw the Fire Qilin today, I immediately thought of the person who bought it before. After asking him, I confirmed that it was him.”

The woman smiled sweetly: "So you're planning to lure him into the Snow Phoenix Palace and leave the Star Chart Spirit there?"

Xi Yunlang nodded: "Yes, as long as he enters the Snow Phoenix Palace, the sect will naturally have a way to control him. By making him become my master's disciple, we can make him one of our own and use him for our purposes."

"Even if he has other ideas, once he enters the Snow Phoenix Palace, whether we mold him into a ball or a flat one is just a matter of a thought, isn't it?"

The woman nodded in agreement: "The Star Chart Spirit is worth a high price. No matter how much you spend, as long as you bring the Star Chart Spirit into the Snow Phoenix Palace, it will be a great achievement. I'm just afraid that the Heavenly Crane Sect will not be willing to release the person." Xi Yunlang smiled leisurely: "Although the Heavenly Crane Sect is among the top sects, it is still a bit weak. The Thousand Saints Gathering will come soon, and we might have a chance then."

The woman suddenly realized: "You're planning to personally attend the Thousand Saints Gathering, capture the people from the Heavenly Crane Sect, and force them to exchange Lin Chen for him?"

"Correct!"

Xi Yunlang replied, "Although they value Lin Chen, he is ultimately not as important as their own sage. For the sake of their own people, sacrificing their own flesh is an inevitable outcome."

Xi Yunlang laughed heartily, his expression confident and arrogant.

"When the time comes, I'll have them send Lin Chen to me on their own initiative!"

……

"Why is Xi Yunlang targeting you? Does he know you possess the Star Chart Spirit?"

Lin Chen frowned: "Probably. If it were just for two magic treasures, it wouldn't be worth him making such a big fuss. The Star Chart Spirit is the only answer."

Huo Ling Shuang comforted her, "Don't worry, Tianhe Sect won't hand you over."

Lin Chen turned his head to look at Huo Ling Shuang and chuckled, "That's not necessarily true. After all, Xi Yunlang is from the Holy Land, and he's not an ordinary person. He's the most promising saint in the Snow Phoenix Palace."

"Whether it's him or Snow Phoenix Palace, if they know about this, they'll probably have designs on me. Heavenly Crane Sect might not be able to protect me."

Huo Ling Shuang frowned, wanting to refute, but not knowing how.

What Lin Chen said is true.

Huo Ling Shuang thought for a moment and said, "If that day ever comes, I'll run away with you. At worst, I'll become a traitor to the Tianhe Sect."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "There's no need to be so pessimistic. We'll see when the time comes. Besides, following me might not be a bad thing."

Huo Ling Shuang's tone was subtle: "Yes, Ning Hesheng has only been following you for a short time, yet he has already obtained the Spirit of the Great Dao and is about to break through to become a saint. This can be described as ascending to heaven in one step."

Lin Chen chuckled: "That's right, cooperate with me well, there will be benefits, I really will give you some."

Huo Ling Shuang asked curiously, "You must have quite a few human sub-saints in your tower, why don't you give them to them?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Your lives are in my hands. After you become saints, you will be of even greater help to me. Although those people are also human, you can't judge a book by its cover. I have no relationship with them and I don't want to be some kind of pushover."

Huo Ling Shuang thought it made sense. Whether it was herself or Ning Hesheng, no matter how strong they were, they had to obey him and risk their lives when there was danger. If it were any other human, Lin Chen wouldn't be able to make such a decision. And once that connection was gone, others might not necessarily listen to you.

After a pause, Huo Ling Shuang suggested, "I've defeated the Azure Python Sect, and now I'm the focus of everyone's attention. There's no point in staying any longer. Why don't we leave sooner and go to the Ninth District's Heavenly God Division to gather information?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Being famous isn't bad, it's just a pity it's not that rookie competition, otherwise you could have gotten a lot of rewards."

Huo Ling Shuang laughed, "Isn't my fame all because of you? I'm just a fox borrowing the tiger's power. You'd better run away quickly, lest you be exposed..."
