The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1126 Your words are so hurtful!

Qi stared into Lin Chen's determined eyes, confirming his intentions.

He wasn't joking, nor was he using a strategy of retreat as a means of advancement.

That's really what he thought.

If you can't hold onto the sand, just let it go.

Even the Ghost Tower, which spans millennia and is invincible, is not something he is willing to bow his head to.

Qi remained silent, deep in thought.

Lin Chen wasn't in a hurry. He looked around and asked, "You've lived here all alone for tens of thousands of years? Don't you feel lonely?"

Qi Ru's eyes, as clear as autumn water, trembled slightly, but her tone remained as calm and indifferent as ever: "As a spirit, the first thing you must learn is to get used to loneliness."

After thinking for a moment, Qi added, "When I'm really bored, I just show myself and see the various aspects of the lives of those adventurers, and the days will pass by."

Lin Chen sighed, "Humans are social animals. If someone lived like this for tens of thousands of years, even an immortal would probably go crazy. That kind of life wouldn't be easy."

Lin Chen was speaking from the heart; after all, the thought of such a life was terrifying.

If this is what immortality is all about, then what's the point?
Qi's gaze was slightly subtle. Since ancient times, all the humans, even the human emperors, had always been polite and cautious in their words when they met him, but the young man before him was so casual...

His words were incredibly hurtful!
Qi felt that she couldn't let Lin Chen continue sighing, otherwise who knew what he might say?
Does this guy think he's immune to everything because he has divine help?
Is it true that one is invincible when one is free from desires?

Qi felt inexplicably angry; how could she be ignored by someone?
Qi asked, "You don't seem to care whether you can get the Ghost Tower or not?"

Lin Chen smiled: "Want to hear the truth?"

Qi pursed her lips, but finally nodded.

Chatting with this guy in front of her, for some reason, Qi found it quite interesting and inexplicably relaxing.

This guy looks a bit like that person from back then!

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "I heard from the fairy that the Ghost Tower mostly comes from the Immortal Realm. To put it simply, it has a great history. For tens of thousands of years, countless powerful people have tried to subdue the Ghost Tower, but none have succeeded, and many have died. This shows that the Ghost Tower, uh, means you are unwilling to be subordinate to others."

"Of course, it's possible that we are too weak to be taken seriously by you. After all, you have such terrifying strength, so it's perfectly normal for you to have higher standards and be more picky."

"I'm only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, not even close to the middle stage. You look down on many Void Transformation experts and talented individuals, so you must look down on me even more. It's basically impossible for me to sign a master-servant contract with you, with me as your master and you as your servant."

"The current situation is that neither of us is willing to compromise, so it's destined that we won't reach an agreement. Isn't the outcome predetermined? Since that's the case, why should I care?" Lin Chen readily expressed his thoughts, clicking his tongue. "However, I am curious about how Zhao Feiyu answered and chose in the Questioning Heart Bureau before?"

Qi's gaze was subtle: "Do you have a grudge against him?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I guess so."

Qi thought for a moment: "I'll tell you his answer, and you tell me about your story, including your hatred for him, how about it?"

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow: "In the eyes of you people who have spanned the long river of history, these things of mine should be trivial matters that you wouldn't even consider worth mentioning..."

Looking into Qi's eyes, Lin Chen thought that she had probably been here for ten thousand years without anyone to talk to, and his heart softened for some reason. He changed his mind and said, "Alright, if you don't think they're all trivial matters, I'll tell you from the beginning..."

Qi nodded slightly: "Go ahead and speak, I'm listening."

Lin Chen then began his story from birth, giving a general account of his life, and didn't even hide the details about Chu Jiaxue and Gu Yuexi.

Qi listened attentively, occasionally asking a few questions.

In this question-and-answer session, Lin Chen finished recounting his life story.

Qi was quite surprised: "You're very lucky. You went to three of the six forbidden lands and came out unharmed, and even became the Human Emperor..."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Yes, my master also said that I have unparalleled luck and that I have a good affinity with the immortals."

Qi asked, "Since Zhao Feiyu is so determined to kill you, why don't you just kill him directly?"

Lin Chen explained his thoughts: "This time, let's teach him a lesson and save face for Kunlun. If there's a next time, I'll naturally kill him."

Qi repeated Zhao Feiyu's answer.

Lin Chen nodded after listening: "That fits quite well. His ambitions are much greater than mine, but unfortunately he's narrow-minded and petty."

Qi stared at Lin Chen, then suddenly waved his hand, and a bright green gourd appeared in his hand.

She took out a water glass, opened the gourd, and a clear green liquid immediately flowed out, quickly filling the glass.

Qi put away the gourd, waved his hand, and the water cup flew up and landed in front of Lin Chen.

"You entered this hall by your own merit and spent so much time talking to me, so consider this cup of wine your reward. I can't let you come all this way for nothing..."
