The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3722 And that's how things are resolved!

A large group of people rushed out of the whirlpool, many of them covered in blood and looking seriously injured.

"They're from the Divine Dragon Sect and the Wolf Fang Hall!"

"They escaped!"

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, sizing up the two powerful figures who had escaped.

He decided to take another look.

Mei Jianqiu was preparing to invite the gods to descend, mainly because the powerful figures from the other two sects had been trapped there, and Peach Blossom Palace could not bear the responsibility.

The other two cases of accountability, if they blow up, will surely alarm the gods. If the gods question them, they will first be blamed for not reporting the truth. So, they had no choice but to report in advance to make it easier to shift the blame.

Now that the people from the other two groups have escaped, will they still report back?
Zhu Qiao and Yu Muchuan led two powerful figures from their respective sects out and saw the Peach Blossom Palace members floating in the sky. They all rushed towards them.

Soon, the three groups of people joined together.

Mei Jianqiu quickly scanned the crowd, his brows slightly furrowed.

The number of people has decreased!

It seems someone has perished or is trapped in the secret realm.

Mei Jianqiu quickly asked, "Where is Xiao Wanshui?"

"Ran."

Zhu Qiao said with a complicated expression, "We were all trapped by him and those fearless ones and couldn't escape. But Xiao Wanshui suddenly ran away, and then returned a short while later. He opened an exit in his house and ran away."

Mei Jianqiu was taken aback: "He ran away? Does that mean he's no longer in the secret realm?"

Zhu Qiao nodded: "Yes, if he hadn't run away, and if those fearless ones hadn't lost their formation, we wouldn't have been able to escape at all."

Mei Jianqiu thought about what Lin Chen had said to her and immediately cleared her mind.

"It must have been when Lin Chen went back to investigate that he alerted Xiao Wanshui. At that time, you were trapped by them. Xiao Wanshui discovered Lin Chen and went after him. Lin Chen used spatial jump to escape and then led us to break out."

"Xiao Wanshui realized he couldn't stop us from leaving, and fearing that I would immediately summon the gods once I left the secret realm, he quickly fled."

Mei Jianqiu said regretfully, "What a pity. If there were no other exit from the secret realm, we could have trapped them like turtles in a jar."

Zhu Qiao and Yu Muchuan's eyes both fell on Lin Chen: "He can do Star Jump?"

Mei Jianqiu nodded and said, "Didn't you see him? Otherwise, why would we bring him along?"

The expressions on everyone's faces were complicated.

With Lin Chen's help, everyone from Peach Blossom Palace managed to escape, but none of them could escape. Some died, some were injured, and in the end, they were all poisoned and their lives were controlled.

They all wanted to curse Mei Jianqiu, but they couldn't bring themselves to do it. First, the three families were already rivals, so how could the people he brought possibly save them? Second, they were now all under Xiao Wanshui's control, so cursing him would be pointless.

Yu Muchuan asked, "Have you reported to the Heavenly God?"

Mei Jianqiu shook his head: "Not yet. You came out just as we were about to report. So, are we still going to report now?"

Before Zhu Qiao and Yu Muchuan could speak, someone suddenly exclaimed, "The entrance to the secret realm is disappearing!"

Everyone turned around and saw that the entrance to the secret realm was indeed visibly shrinking, and a few seconds later it disappeared completely. No one was too surprised; Xiao Wanshui had left the secret realm, perhaps using other methods to close it and prevent others from entering, after all, there were still so many of the fearless individuals he had cultivated inside.

Although he has left, he will surely have a way to get back, but we and the others probably won't be able to get in anymore.

Mei Jianqiu frowned: "What do we do now?"

Zhu Qiao sighed and said, "Now there's no entrance left, and even if we find it, Xiao Wanshui isn't in the secret realm. If we report to the gods, and they descend but can't find the secret realm, or find the secret realm but can't find Xiao Wanshui, they might be angry with us."

Yu Muchuan nodded and said, "He will definitely blame us for not reporting this news to him sooner, causing him to miss out on the chance to become a god..."

Mei Jianqiu agreed with the two men's statement; now that things had come to this, it seemed there was indeed no need to report to the gods any further.

Previously, it was to shift blame and avoid responsibility. Now that everyone has returned, they will naturally not be bothered by the other two sects. In addition, since the divine essence has been taken away by Xiao Wanshui and its whereabouts are unknown, reporting to the Heavenly God again may earn merit, but it will most likely result in being blamed.

Since that's the case, it's better not to report it.

Mei Jianqiu said in a deep voice, "Then we won't report it, but we all need to be on the same page. Anyone who secretly reports it..."

Zhu Qiao smiled bitterly, "What's the use of reporting now that things have come to this? It would only cause trouble for ourselves. Now that Xiao Wanshui has been exposed, he must have already run off to some unknown place to hide. Even a god might not be able to find him."

Yu Muchuan nodded: "Yes, let's pretend this never happened. However, we can each send people to investigate secretly and look for Xiao Wanshui's whereabouts. If we find him again and have solid evidence, it won't be too late to report."

"it is good!"

The three families agreed and then went their separate ways.

Lin Chen then led all the people from Peach Blossom Palace back to Peach Blossom Palace.

Inside Peach Blossom Palace, Mei Jianqiu looked at Lin Chen and smiled, "Although we didn't find what we were looking for this time, you helped us a lot. Without you, we wouldn't have escaped so easily. Is there anything you want?"

Lin Chen laughed and asked, "Does Peach Blossom Palace still possess the spirit of the Great Dao?"

Mei Jianqiu shook his head and said, "I already gave you the last two portions of the Great Dao Spirit that the sect had left. There are no more in stock. Aren't you already a saint? Are you asking for it for someone else?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, help a friend. If you don't have any, that's fine. Palace Master, you can give whatever you think is appropriate. If it can enhance a Saint's strength, then that would be best."

Lin Chen made his demands openly and without the slightest embarrassment. After all, if it weren't for Lin Chen, none of them would have escaped and they would all have become Xiao Wanshui's prisoners, their lives controlled by Xiao Wanshui from then on.

He has a cooperative relationship with Peach Blossom Palace. He helped them, so he should receive payment. There's nothing wrong with that.

Mei Jianqiu thought for a moment and said, "Alright, you can stay in the palace for two days. I will have someone prepare a reward for you that will surely satisfy you."

Lin Chen cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you, Palace Master. My strength is low, and I still need a lot of resources to improve it, so please don't be polite."

After Lin Chen was led away, Mei Jianqiu sighed, "This trip was truly a waste of time, a complete failure..."

Lan Shuiying said calmly, "Although we didn't get that thing, at least we didn't suffer any losses. Compared to the Divine Dragon Sect and the Wolf Fang Hall, we've already done very well."

Mei Jianqiu laughed and said, "Yes, that's the only way to think about it. I have to say, it's much safer with Lin Chen with us. If it weren't for him, none of us would have escaped this time!"

Lan Shuiying nodded: "Although there will be some price to pay, I think it's completely worth it."

Mei Jianqiu nodded in agreement: "Give it to him! He should. But remember to tell him to keep this to himself. Otherwise, if the gods find out, he'll be the first one to suffer!"
