The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1319 A Man Being Too Outstanding Is Also a Sin
Lin Chen had never thought that his family was a burden, but his aunt's words suddenly brought him back to his senses.

The path of immortals is ruthless.

Why so heartless?

No family can cultivate immortality together and live for thousands of years. Moreover, the paths of cultivation are different, and no one can always walk together. Each has their own destiny and will eventually part ways.

When Gu Yuexi returned to the human world, her parents chose to stay and did not come to the desolate world with her. Now, perhaps it is her family's turn to make a similar choice.

Gu Yuexi's parents didn't not love her, nor did her mother and aunt. Perhaps it was precisely because of love that they needed to let go, to let them fly, to walk their own path, and to live the life they wanted, so as not to become a burden.

What if I bring them to the immortal realm myself?
It might just mean faster cultivation, but in a different place, life might not be as comfortable and pleasant as it was in the Wilderness Realm. And even if they went to the Immortal Realm, how much time would I have to spend with them?
How much time have I actually spent with my family during these past few years in the Wilderness Realm?
Not to mention his mother and aunt, even his own wife had to endure separation because of his spiritual practice.

This is the price one must pay to explore the path to immortality.

My aunt was right. I am the Human Emperor of the Wilderness Realm. I have made great contributions to the human race in the Wilderness Realm and have enough prestige. In the Wilderness Realm, my family will live a very peaceful life. But in the Immortal Realm, who knows when my misfortune will spread to them?
Although the cultivation of immortals in the Wilderness Realm cannot compare to the spiritual energy of the Immortal Realm, with sufficient cultivation resources, their strength is not low and their lifespan is not short either; at least a thousand years is entirely possible.

As for the future, we'll see.

Once they have the strength, ideas, and abilities of their own, then we can see what they choose and help them accordingly.

After staying at home for a few days, Lin Chen, Chu Jiaxue, and Gu Yuexi held a ceremony presided over by their mother, Grandpa Chu, and Chen Meifeng.

There weren't many guests present, maybe just one table of people at most, but the atmosphere of a wedding was definitely there.

Looking at her son and daughter-in-law bowing to her, Feng Lan's eyes welled up with tears of joy.

At that moment, she thought of her husband. If he were here, how wonderful it would be if the family were reunited.

Lin Chen understood his mother's thoughts. He was probably stronger than the Demon Emperor now. If he could think of a better way to lead his five half-immortals, he might be able to defeat the Demon Emperor. But what would happen after that?
As long as the Demon Emperor's will remains dominant, he is the Demon Emperor, not his father.

I must wait until I go to the Immortal Realm and find a reliable way to separate the soul before I can take concrete steps to bring my father back.

After the ceremony, both brides were taken to their new home, while Lin Chen stayed in the front hall to drink with everyone.

Lin Chen toasted his master, senior brothers, and others one by one, and finally it was his senior sister Qiao Wei's turn.

"Senior sister, thank you for taking care of me. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today."

Qiao Wei, holding her wine glass, said, "Don't be ridiculous. If we're talking about taking care of me, you've helped me more. Without your help, I might still be stuck in the Nascent Soul stage, without having mastered the Sword Bone."

What Qiao Wei said wasn't entirely a lie. If Lin Chen hadn't used the Life-Giving Pearl to treat the problems with Qiao Wei's bones while she was refining the sword bone, it would have been absolutely impossible for Qiao Wei to refine the sword bone in one go.

Wasting a few years is perfectly normal; how could there be such a meteoric rise later on?
Their eyes met, and for a fleeting moment, there was a subtle tension in their gazes.

Recalling the process of tempering her sword bones, she couldn't help but think of the months they spent together, and the embarrassing scenes that made her blush. A fleeting sadness crossed Qiao Wei's eyes. If Lin Chen hadn't had a lover before, she and Lin Chen would definitely have taken things further.

The relationship between the two wasn't exactly dramatic, but it possessed a subtle and tender affection.

You may like someone, but you should keep your distance.

They understood each other implicitly but could not speak of it.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qiao Wei only momentarily lost her focus before snapping back to reality and smilingly bumping hands with Lin Chen.

"Congratulations on finally achieving your goal."

"Thank you."

Lin Chen sighed inwardly, his heart brimming with a thousand words, yet he found himself at a loss for words.

Next were Han Wei, Zhou Yin, and others.

Han Wei initially followed Lin Chen to repay a favor, but later she hoped to become stronger. Although she admired Lin Chen's strength, she didn't have much romantic feeling for him.

Zhou Yin couldn't hide her disappointment.

She likes Lin Chen.

She hoped to catch up with Lin Chen and walk alongside him, but along the way, she couldn't even see Lin Chen's back.

Perhaps Zhou Yin was the one who understood the ruthlessness of immortals the most; she was destined to be left far behind by Lin Chen.

This relationship was destined to end without fruition.

Fortunately, although they couldn't be in love, their friendship remained, so it wasn't too disheartening.

Feng Lan and Feng Yazhen exchanged a glance, their eyes holding a subtle tension.

This kid looks like he's got a lot of romantic entanglements.

Not only did he marry two brides at once, but it seems there are also two women at the banquet who have their eyes on him. He's probably going to be heartbroken tonight.

Sigh, this man is too outstanding; it's a kind of sin...
