The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1505 If he doesn't come to me, I'll come to him.

Zeng Tongxiu's face was ashen; he gritted his teeth but dared not lash out.

Lin Chen is really going to destroy his spirit!

They've already won, yet they still rub salt into the wound!

But what can we do?
Who told me to lose?

Zeng Tongxiu apologized helplessly: "It was my rudeness that offended Fellow Daoist Lin. I am sorry and ask for your understanding."

With Zeng Tongxiu admitting defeat and apologizing in front of everyone, Lin Chen naturally couldn't kick him while he was down. Otherwise, he would lose his composure, since what they had agreed on was to determine who was better, not to fight to the death.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Let's leave it at that. Goodbye."

Lin Chen didn't want to waste words with Zeng Tongxiu, so he turned around and went back to the city cleanly and decisively.

Zeng Tongxiu watched Lin Chen's dashing figure, his teeth clenched tightly, but he had nothing to say.

"go!"

Zeng Tongxiu and An Congyun also quickly returned to the city. He needed to get treatment for his broken arm as soon as possible to recover. Otherwise, how could he participate in the alchemy competition with a broken arm?

"Senior brother, are we just going to let this go like this?"

Having shaken off the many cultivators who were watching the show, An Congyun reluctantly asked in a low voice.

Zeng Tongxiu's face was gloomy: "In front of everyone, this matter cannot be used as a reason to target him. Let's bear with it for now and take revenge when we have the chance."

An Congyun cursed, "I never imagined that guy was actually Su Shaoling's disciple. He's clearly at the mid-stage of the Human Immortal realm, and his strength is inferior to my senior brother's, but his combat power seems incredibly strong..."

Zeng Tongxiu sneered, "How could someone who can be favored by Su Shaoling be an ordinary person? Didn't he also sign up for the alchemy competition? I hope he can pass a few more rounds so I have a chance to compete against him on the same stage. That way, I can at least humiliate him in alchemy and save face..."

An Congyun snorted, "The White Cloud Immortal Sect is not good at alchemy at all. I reckon his skills are not much better. This time, there are many famous alchemists participating in the competition. Even you, Senior Brother, are not confident of winning the championship. How can he have a chance to stand out?"

Zeng Tongxiu pursed his lips: "I hope he's lucky and can go through a couple more rounds... Okay, let's not talk about him anymore, let's hurry back to the city to heal our wounds."

……

The battle between Lin Chen and Zeng Tongxiu caused a stir, but it was just a minor ripple.

Flying Phoenix City is now teeming with cultivators, including many renowned and powerful figures. It's inevitable that some will encounter adversaries, and when they do, a fierce clash is bound to occur. The battles in the wilderness outside the city have been relentless, wave after wave, with many killed on the spot. The casualties have been considerable over the past few days.

The Alchemist Association had long considered this issue and specially invited the Nine Li Immortal Lord, a Celestial Immortal, to oversee Flying Phoenix City, prohibiting all private battles among cultivators within the city, with violators facing severe consequences.

Lin Chen returned to the city but didn't rush to refine pills. After all, the competition was imminent, and even if he succeeded, he wouldn't have time to take pills and cultivate. He might as well take this time to visit the trading market.

Besides searching for the necessary medicinal herbs, Lin Chen also had a selfish wish: to encounter Fairy Ziyun. However, after so many days, he had not seen her.

Perhaps she never came at all.

Perhaps, it's just a wishful thinking born of my own unwillingness to accept defeat.

After wandering around the medicinal herb market for two more days, Lin Chen finally gathered all the materials for Snow Spirit Pill, Ink Jade Pill, and Buddha Heart Pill. However, he couldn't find any of the main ingredients for Nine Revolutions Great Luo Pill, which disappointed him greatly.

Forget it, let's focus on the game.

Just as Lin Chen was staying in the hotel to calmly reflect on his preparations for the competition, a young woman with a veil covering her face and a graceful figure walked into Feifeng City. Beside her were an elderly man with white hair and a middle-aged woman who still retained her charm.

The young woman looked around excitedly: "It's so lively!"

The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "The reason for the liveliness is the upcoming Cloud Sky Continent Alchemy Competition. Although Flying Phoenix City is an imperial city, it's just so-so, at most comparable to a large city back home..."

The young woman smiled and said, "Let's watch the excitement first, and then go to the White Crane Immortal Sect."

The middle-aged woman pursed her lips, glanced at the white-haired old man, who remained calm and composed, merely smiling without saying a word.

The middle-aged woman whispered, "Miss, if you want to see him, why don't you just order someone to take him back to the Celestial Palace? If the news gets out of here, it might cause even more trouble..."

"With Uncle Zhong here, what problems could there be? Wei Jiao is wanted by me everywhere, how dare she show her face?"

The young woman's eyes smiled, like crescent moons: "This guy is very straightforward. He's been in the Immortal Realm for so many years and hasn't even written me a single letter. This shows that he had no intention of coming to find me at all."

"He's really capable. Su Shaoling left behind a legacy that has lasted for thousands of years, and no one has been able to inherit it. He went to the White Crane Immortal Sect as a guest for a while and became Su Shaoling's disciple. His luck is as good as ever."

A bright, playful smile spread across the young woman's face beneath her veil, a hint of slyness in her eyes: "He doesn't want to rely on me, he doesn't want to cause me any trouble. If he doesn't come looking for me, I'll come looking for him."
