The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3698 You're so arrogant in everything you do and in your speech.
"Shut up!"

Lin Chen couldn't stand it anymore, so he reached out and pinched Gu Yuexi's mouth shut, manually muting her microphone.

Gu Yuexi didn't struggle, letting Lin Chen grab her lips, muttering, "I didn't say anything wrong..."

Lin Chen quickly changed the subject: "You all can focus on your seclusion from now on. I'll take care of some things outside, and then I'll also go into seclusion to cultivate. I need to improve my strength as soon as possible, since I may face even greater dangers in the future."

"Once this seclusion ends, I will be able to travel outside as a saint, which will be much more convenient."

"After you attain sainthood, you can first go to live in the Crouching Dragon Sect that I established in the Sixth District. The Sixth District is chaotic and disorderly, and is full of alien races, which is actually very suitable for us."

Everyone unanimously agreed: "Okay!"

After making some preparations, Chu Jiaxue and the other three each chose a place to begin their seclusion.

Lin Chen also began to use the Heavenly Demon Crystal to cultivate and improve his strength.

As time passed, Lin Chen was peacefully in seclusion when he suddenly sensed something.

Xi Yunlang.

Judging by the time, Xi Yunlang should have returned to Xuefeng Palace.

Lin Chen straightened his posture and began his cultivation. After a brief preparation, he flashed out and disappeared from the Holy Domain in an instant.

The next second, the scenery in front of Lin Chen changed abruptly.

The majestic snow-capped mountains were covered in white snow, and Lin Chen was in a snow valley. At the end of the valley, two mountain peaks stood like sharp swords against the sky, with the gate of Snow Phoenix Palace located between them.

Xi Yunlang looked at Lin Chen, who had suddenly appeared, and laughed, "It's really a case of comparing people. I've been traveling for months to get back to the sect, but you've arrived in the blink of an eye."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "If it weren't for your guidance, I wouldn't have been able to get here."

Xi Yunlang smiled and said, "Let's go, come to my Snow Phoenix Palace as a guest. I have some good news to tell you."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up: "What good news?"

"Let's go, let's go to the sect first and then talk."

Lin Chen followed Xi Yunlang into the mountain gate, where the disciples all looked at him with astonishment.

Xi Yunlang explained, "I didn't have any friends from other races before, so they might be a little surprised to see you and me like this."

After a pause, seemingly worried that Lin Chen might misunderstand, Xi Yunlang explained, "I'm not targeting your alien identity. It's just that I don't have many friends. In other people's eyes, I'm only kind to beautiful women, and I'm cold and unfriendly to men. I'm not easy to deal with."

"Actually, there's some truth to that, but it's not entirely true. I'm naturally more tolerant of women. As long as you're pretty enough, it doesn't matter if you're not very capable or talented. Beauty is a kind of strength, after all."

“As for men, I’ve been a prodigy since I was a child, a monster in everyone’s eyes, a high and mighty existence. Everyone speaks to me with utmost respect. When I’m out in the world, not to mention my peers, even the higher-ups of other sects speak to me kindly and with great respect. In such an environment, where would I find friends?” Lin Chen curled his lips and said, “I think you’re not explaining, but showing off.”

Xi Yunlang laughed heartily: "What I said is the truth."

Lin Chen calmly replied, "Lies don't hurt people; the truth is the sharpest knife."

Xi Yunlang's eyes lit up: "Is it because the Starry Sky Leap Great Divine Power gave you enough confidence? I've dealt with you a few times, and I always feel that you have an arrogant air about you. On the surface, you seem to be respectful and polite, but deep down you seem to think that you don't care about anyone..."

"How am I arrogant?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Maybe it's because I come from a small place. The spiritual energy there is thin, so there's basically no such thing as cultivating immortality. Everyone is just an ordinary person. Although we do strengthen our bodies, we are still human after all."

"Perhaps some people are rich, some people are powerful, but even ordinary people can have their lives protected. They don't dare to kill people at will like the powerful beings in the Immortal Realm or the Heavenly God Realm. We believe that a common man's anger can cause bloodshed within five steps. As long as I am not afraid of death, no matter how rich or powerful you are, I can drag you down with me."

“I was raised by someone who was quite skilled. Growing up in that environment, I had no respect for money or power. Over time, this became my personality. After all, the worst that can happen is death.”

“Ordinary people in our world usually live to be around eighty years old. I’ve lived several times that amount of time, so I’ve always made a profit. That’s why I haven’t thought about it that much.”

"Of course, the spirit of the star map has indeed given me a lot of confidence. I always think that if I can't win, I can just run away. Whether it's the Immortal Realm or the Celestial Realm, they're all so big. At worst, I'll just have to suffer a little. Why be timid and cowardly..."

Xi Yunlang suddenly realized: "Is your world so peaceful? No wonder you have this mentality. People who grow up in our cultivation world must learn to be respectful from a young age. Otherwise, a single word or glance could lead to death. Perhaps this is the difference between us."

After a pause, Xi Yunlang explained, "Only many sages know that you can perform star jumps; most of the disciples in the sect are unaware of it. Later, I will give you one of my tokens. If you encounter any problems, just show the token and it will be resolved."

"I didn't tell everyone about this in the hopes of minimizing the trouble for you. Once you reach the Saint level and your strength increases, it won't matter anymore."

Lin Chen nodded: "It's alright, I understand."

Xi Yunlang led Lin Chen to his cave dwelling and offered him top-quality tea and fruit.

“I’ve taken on a task from the sect leader. From now on, I’ll be in charge of contacting you. I’m essentially your liaison with Snow Phoenix Palace. If you have any requests, you can tell me, and I’ll pass them on to the sect leader. If necessary, and we need to meet in person, I’ll take you to see the sect leader.”

Lin Chen smiled and said, "That's excellent."

Xi Yunlang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "As long as you don't feel that Xuefeng Palace is being perfunctory, it's fine. However, since this is your first time visiting Xuefeng Palace, I still have to take you to see the sect leader. After all, Xuefeng Palace and Tianhe Sect are going to form an alliance, and you are the real reason for the alliance. The sect leader will definitely want to see you."

Lin Chen replied, "You can arrange it."

Xi Yunlang smiled and said, "You should rest for a while. I'll ask the sect leader for permission. Once he's ready, I'll take you to see him. But before that, I have some good news for you."

Xi Yunlang had mentioned this once before, and now that it was brought up again, Lin Chen couldn't help but ask, "What good news? Why are you being so mysterious?"

Xi Yunlang smiled and said, "Didn't you ask me to find two kinds of medicinal herbs before? I already entrusted this matter to the sect when I left. But I got the results when I came back. We have found one of them..."
