The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1294 Eldest Sister, What Do You Want to Do to Me?
Lin Chen was shocked.

He anticipated that since Lin Chen was new to the area, they would likely restrict his movements and prevent him from accessing more potential inside information.

You can actually wander around everywhere?

"Okay, thank you, senior."

Lin Chen was certainly willing to take a look around. Although it was unlikely that he would run into Chu Jiaxue, he figured that by interacting with the people here, talking to them, and learning more, he could gather more information.

"Come with me."

The old man led Lin Chen back to the front yard. The old woman was still lying on the chair, as if she hadn't moved at all. But when Lin Chen walked out of the yard, he clearly felt her gaze.

This old woman is strange.

The old man led Lin Chen to a small wooden house not far away and said with a smile, "You can stay here for the time being. If you need anything, you can come to my yard to find me anytime."

"Thank you, senior."

The old man smiled and said, "My surname is Zhao, Zhao Ding."

Zhao Ding?

Lin Chen subconsciously thought of the man who kidnapped Chu Jiaxue, Guo Jia, Zhao Ding?

A, B, C, D?

Seemingly seeing through Lin Chen's doubts, Zhao Ding took the initiative to explain: "My surname is Zhao. I gave up my real name a long time ago. Everyone here is like this, with their name followed by the Heavenly Stem in order. Anyway, there aren't many people, so you'll get used to it."

Lin Chen suddenly realized that he had been worried that Guo Jia was not from the Misty Fairy Island, but now he believed it. Now he just needed to find out where she was.

Based on the timeline, she should have already been brought back here.

"Alright, you can just wander around the village."

Lin Chen blinked: "Is there anything I should avoid?"

Zhao Ding chuckled and said, "There's nothing to hide. There aren't many people here. Everyone is sure to be happy to see guests from outside. After all, living here, everyone is eager to know what's happening outside."

"Oh, by the way, feel free to wander around the village, but don't go to the back mountain. That's where immortals cultivate in seclusion. Of course, there are guards there, so even if you went, you wouldn't be able to get in."

Back mountain!

Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that all the secrets of this Enchanted Immortal Island were behind that mountain peak, or perhaps even inside the mountain itself.

If Chu Jiaxue isn't in this village, then is she somewhere else?

Lin Chen readily agreed: "Okay, I promise I won't wander off."

After Zhao Ding left, Lin Chen walked around the house for a while before strolling out the door.

The village covers a considerable area. Lin Chen hadn't walked far when he encountered a middle-aged woman, still charming and attractive, pruning flowers in the flowerbed by the entrance.

"Hello, ma'am..."

The middle-aged woman looked up, seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then smiled warmly: "New here?" Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, just arrived."

A middle-aged woman came out with flower shears, smiling as she stared at Lin Chen. She circled around him, her direct and bold scrutinizing gaze making Lin Chen slightly embarrassed.

Is this woman really that direct?
"Young man, early stage of Void Realm?"

Lin Chen smiled and flattered, "Yes, big sister, you're really amazing. You recognized it at a glance."

The middle-aged woman laughed and said, "Your strength is not bad, how old are you?"

Lin Chen replied, "A little over two hundred."

The middle-aged woman's eyes suddenly lit up, her gaze intense: "Not bad, quite a strong young man."

Looking into the middle-aged woman's bright eyes, Lin Chen felt inexplicably uneasy.

This is our first meeting, do you have some kind of idea about me?

There are too few people here, and this woman has been lonely for so long that she's getting anxious about finding a man.

"Miss..."

"What are you doing standing at the door? Come in and sit down. I just brewed a jar of good wine a few days ago. I'll treat you to a drink. Tell me about the news outside. It's been so long since any new people have come. It's all old guys here. I don't even have anyone to talk to. I'm so bored."

Before Lin Chen could speak, the woman grabbed his arm and pulled him into the courtyard.

Sister, how panicked are you?

You held my hand the first time we met?

what you up to?
Upon entering the courtyard, the woman indeed brought out a jar of wine and two plates of snacks to accompany it.

"Come on, let's drink and chat..."

Lin Chen blinked: "Big sister, isn't it a bit too early to drink in broad daylight?"

The woman smiled and poured wine into the bowl in front of Lin Chen: "I'm not like Zhao Ding, who drinks tea all day long. Tea is nothing compared to wine..."

Lin Chen stopped refusing; he actually wanted to gather some information himself.

Zhao Ding said that those who can stay here are all half-immortals, and they all need to be very strong to gain a longer lifespan. Lin Chen estimated that he couldn't beat any of them.

Since we can't match them, we have no choice but to outsmart them.

The wine is excellent, rich in celestial energy. One sip and the celestial energy is absorbed into the meridians, enough to withstand many days of cultivation.

There are many good things here. No wonder everyone who enters the Enchanted Immortal Island leaves with a significant increase in strength. And this is for those who have no talent for cultivation and no affinity for immortality. How much of an increase can they get if they have affinity for immortality?
Lin Chen and the woman chatted idly for a while, and as the wine flowed freely, the woman's cheeks flushed slightly, her eyes were like water, and her charm was enhanced, as if tears were about to well up in her eyes.

"Brother Lin, I've heard there's been a major upheaval outside recently, and even immortals have appeared. Do you know what's going on?"
