The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3699 Do I look like an idiot to you?
Surprise!

Lin Chen's eyes widened: "Phoenix Blood or Myriad Butterfly Flower?"

Xi Yunlang replied, "The Butterfly Flower. One of our elders was traveling and attended an auction, where the Butterfly Flower happened to be on the list. Although this herb is very rare, it doesn't have a wide range of uses, so the price wasn't particularly high, and we bought it."

Lin Chen was secretly delighted. He now had two of the three materials, and only the sacred Phoenix Blood was missing.

"Thank you. How much did it cost? Here you go."

Xi Yunlang waved his hand: "Forget it, it didn't cost much. Consider it a gift from us. After all, we are a sacred place, and we can't let people say we're stingy."

Lin Chen didn't stand on ceremony and said with a smile, "Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Lin Chen knew very well that, regardless of the value of this item, it wouldn't be a large sum for the Snow Phoenix Palace. Giving it to him was a favor in itself.

"The items are still stored in the clan; I'll retrieve them for you later."

"it is good!"

After finishing their tea, Xi Yunlang led Lin Chen to the guest accommodations, personally arranged his lodgings, and instructed the manager to take good care of him.

After making the arrangements, Xi Yunlang left.

Lin Chen walked out of his residence and into the large courtyard outside. He leaned on the railing and looked into the distance, wanting to see the grandeur of the sacred land.

The guest reception buildings are perched atop a prominent rock on the mountain peak, with a cliff below the railings and a waterfall cascading down opposite. Various rare birds fly among the mountains, offering a wide view and beautiful scenery.

Lin Chen was watching when several young men and women came over, chatting and laughing.

Lin Chen turned his head and glanced at them. The robes worn by these cultivators were not the style of the Snow Phoenix Palace, so they must be guests from other sects.

The group of people chatted as they headed toward the observation deck where Lin Chen was, clearly intending to come here for the view.

Lin Chen had been observing for a while and didn't want to run into these people or get entangled with them. After all, a lone alien could easily attract trouble.

As Lin Chen descended from the observation deck, he came face to face with several people, and all their eyes immediately fell on Lin Chen's face.

"Huh, a different race?"

"How could there be alien races here?"

"They must be servants brought by the guests."

These people made no attempt to hide their opinions about Lin Chen, showing absolutely no restraint.

Lin Chen didn't reply and turned to leave.

However, just as he turned around, a woman's voice came from behind him: "Hey, stop right there."

Lin Chen frowned, stopped, and turned around.

The woman who spoke was quite pretty, tall, and had a large bust, but she had an arrogant and haughty expression.

"Which sect are you from?"

Lin Chen picked up the token hanging from his waist: "Lin Chen, inner disciple of Tianhe Sect."

The woman, who had been crossing her arms, immediately showed an exaggerated expression upon seeing Lin Chen's token. She lowered her arms and exclaimed, "He's not a servant, but a formal disciple! This is strange. Has the Heavenly Crane Sect stooped so low that it has to rely on alien races to make up the number of disciples?"

A man next to them chuckled sarcastically, "Maybe they're really outstanding."

The woman brazenly sized up Lin Chen, asking arrogantly, "Why are you able to become a formal disciple of the Heavenly Crane Sect? Although the Heavenly Crane Sect is relatively weak among the Heavenly Sects, it is still a Heavenly Sect. It shouldn't have fallen so low as to accept alien races as formal disciples, right? This token of yours isn't fake, is it? Let me see it." As the woman spoke, she reached out and grabbed at Lin Chen, causing the token in his hand to fly out and towards the woman.

Lin Chen could naturally control the token, but he didn't make a move.

It wasn't that he was afraid of anything, but rather that he was a guest of Xuefeng Palace at the moment, a guest of Xi Yunlang, and he didn't need to do anything at all.

If there's anything that requires intervention, just let Xi Yunlang handle it.

It's just a token, what's the point of robbing it?

Seeing that Lin Chen did not resist, the woman curled her lip, her eyes full of disdain.

A foreign race is a foreign race. Even if they join a sect and become a formal disciple, so what? They will still be inferior to others.
The woman channeled spiritual energy into the token, which then glowed and projected a light screen, displaying Lin Chen's image and his description as a disciple of the Heavenly Crane Sect.

"Hey, it's actually real..."

The woman glanced at it twice, withdrew her spiritual power, but still did not return the token. Instead, she simply held it in her hand and tossed it gently.

"You still haven't answered me. What makes you think you deserve to join the Heavenly Crane Sect and become a formal disciple?"

Lin Chen thought for a moment: "Perhaps it's because I have some talent?"

"talent?"

The woman laughed heartily: "It's really funny to see alien races competing with our Celestial Race in terms of talent."

The man next to him laughed and asked, "What are you Tianhe Sect doing here?"

Lin Chen replied, "I have a friend who invited me to come over and visit."

The man next to him widened his eyes, his face exaggerated: "Oh, look what he's saying. He has a friend from the Snow Phoenix Palace and invited him over to play, so you can see how well your friend is doing now?"

The woman chimed in with a joking laugh, "Your friend doesn't seem to be very powerful. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made friends with someone from another race like you and invited you to come over. Could he be some outer disciple?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "My friend is doing quite well at Snow Phoenix Palace and has a bright future."

The woman laughed and said, "You've really piqued my curiosity. Come on, tell me, who is it? A first-generation disciple or a second-generation disciple? Has it entered the inner sect yet?"

Lin Chen was too lazy to argue with them and said directly, "Xi Yunlang, if you are familiar with Xuefeng Palace, you should have heard of it, right?"

The expressions of the group of people froze instantly.

The woman frowned and said, "I only know one, Xi Yunlang, the saint of Snow Phoenix Palace, a prodigy, the one known as the Saint of Love..."

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, it's him."

The expressions of the group suddenly turned quite strange. They looked at each other for a few moments, and then burst into laughter.

"Kid, you've got some nerve, pretending to be Xi Yunlang's friend on Xuefeng Palace's territory. Do you know you'll suffer a terrible death if you get caught?"

"Xi Yunlang is the most promising genius in Xuefeng Palace. If you were a great beauty, even if you were from another race, I might believe you. But you are a man from another race, yet you claim to be his friend. Are you kidding me?"

"You really can't lie properly. Everyone knows that Xi Yunlang has many beautiful girlfriends, but none of them have male friends. Even if you want to impersonate someone, you should find someone with low profile, someone that everyone knows. Do you know how stupid you are to do this!"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Yes, it's really stupid to pretend to be the friend of the most famous person on Snow Phoenix Palace's territory. Do you think I look like a fool?"
