The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1539 You may have the will, but you lack the power!
What do we do now?

"Wait!"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I think it won't be long before I meet the people of Wanli Palace. I just wonder if I'll have the chance to see Wanli Palace, which is located at the bottom of the sea!"

Lin Chen and the others didn't have to wait long; just half a day later, there was a knock on the door of the courtyard.

The person knocking on the door was a refined middle-aged man, followed by a man and a woman. The man was in his thirties, with a strong and imposing build, and a commanding presence. The woman was very beautiful, but her expression was cold, and she exuded a chilling aura that kept strangers at bay.

Zhong Quan had sensed their arrival and came to open the door himself, staring warily at the man in front of him.

Yao Xuanji stood in the courtyard and smiled slightly at the middle-aged man: "Uncle Ao, your niece Yao Xuanji greets you!"

The middle-aged man's gaze fell on Yao Xuanji's face, and a smile appeared on his face: "I heard that you went missing before. Your father came to my Wanli Palace when he was looking for you. Now that you have returned safely, I didn't expect that he had just left. It just so happened that we missed each other."

Yao Xuanji stepped aside: "Uncle Ao, please come in!"

The middle-aged man was none other than Ao Li from the Wanli Palace of the South Sea. He strolled into the courtyard and casually remarked, "You seem to be in trouble?"

Yao Xuanji did not hide anything and replied, "My whereabouts were exposed. Wei Jiao led two Celestial Immortals and a group of Golden Immortals to ambush me outside Nanyuan City. Although we killed one Celestial Immortal and several Golden Immortals, we were still no match for them. We had no choice but to hide first. Now there are their spies everywhere in this city, so I have to be careful."

Ao Li frowned: "They have people in Nan Yuan City too?"

Yao Xuanji replied, "According to our observations, there are quite a few spies watching at the entrance to the airship docking area and outside the Nanyuan Sea Fleet, but we don't know whose people they are."

Ao Li turned her head and looked at the burly man: "Go, find out the truth!"

"Yes!"

The burly man turned and went out the door, disappearing from sight.

Ao Li turned to look at Yao Xuanji and smiled, "Since you call me uncle, I will certainly not let you suffer any injustice on this land in the South China Sea."

Yao Xuanji thanked him again. Seeing this, Lin Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief; it seemed that Yao Xuanji's judgment of Ao Li was correct.

Regardless of whether he will intervene or stand on the side of the Immortal Palace, he will at least protect Yao Xuanji and prevent her from being bullied.

Ao Li asked, "The Immortal Palace is so far from the South Sea, why did you risk the danger to come and see me in person?"

Yao Xuanji said softly, "My father left the Immortal Realm and disappeared for five hundred years without a trace. During these five hundred years, the Immortal Palace was without a master, and many forces in the Immortal Realm were eager to make a move. I was fortunate enough to return and expose Wei Jiao's true colors. As a result, I also discovered the Heavenly Dao Alliance, a force lurking in the shadows."

"A great upheaval may be imminent in the Thunder Immortal Realm, and every continent in the Immortal Realm may be plunged into bloodshed. I hope Uncle Ao can step forward to support the Immortal Palace and at the same time deter the villains, preventing the Cloud Sky Continent from falling into chaos..."

Ao Li frowned: "Has the situation become that bad?"

Yao Xuanji nodded: "Uncle Ao, multiple sources confirm that the Heavenly Dao Alliance is hiding deep underground. Many sects have already been quietly subdued by them. They will not act rashly until they do, and once they do, it will be earth-shattering. Once the war begins, those forces that are loyal to the Immortal Palace will inevitably be the first to be targeted..."

Ao Li was silent for a moment, then shook her head and said, "You think too highly of your Uncle Ao. Although I am quite capable, I am nothing in the face of the general trend. Besides, since that incident, I have been disheartened and no longer want to get involved in the affairs of the mainland. Your father knows this."

Yao Xuanji's expression changed slightly. She hadn't expected Ao Li to refuse so decisively. For a moment, she didn't know what to say. If she directly brought up the matter of personal favor, it would seem like she was trying to take advantage of the situation.

Ao Li probably knew what Yao Xuanji was thinking, and said with a smile: "Your father was a hero for a lifetime, and he valued personal martial prowess, but he may not have valued the identity of the Lord of the Immortal Palace. Why should you, a child, take on such a big responsibility?"

"Since the building is about to collapse, it's better to prepare for an early evacuation. This will protect the safety of your followers, preserve your strength, and also protect yourself. You can come to Uncle Ao's Wanli Palace. No matter what happens outside, Uncle Ao will ensure your safety."

"Let them fight if they want. You should focus on your cultivation and improve your strength. When your father returns one day, with his strength, it will be easy for him to deal with those rebels."

"The path to immortality is long and winding; why bother arguing about short-term gains?"

After listening to Ao Li's words, Yao Xuanji pursed her lips, bowed, and said, "Thank you for your protection, Uncle Ao. However, my father led many of his men to quell the chaos in the Thunder Immortal Realm, completely unifying the Immortal Realm and bringing peace back. Although he is no longer here, as his daughter, I am unwilling to stand idly by and watch the entire Immortal Realm fall into bloodshed once again..."

Ao Li sighed: "Xuan Ji, to be honest, if your father were here, even if these people were ambitious, they might not dare to make a move. Even if you had the will, you probably wouldn't have the power..."
