The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1637 Senior Brother, you're hopeless! You can't even handle this?
Lin Chen smiled slightly, his expression calm.

“Gu Gongyou is my senior brother, and you are his friend, so naturally I should call you senior sister or older sister.”

Dugu Feiyan looked surprised: "Gu Gongyou is your senior brother, then who is your master?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Su Shaoling."

Dugu Feiyan's eyes lit up with surprise: "When did Su Shaoling get a disciple?"

Lin Chen replied, "More than eight years ago, I visited the White Crane Immortal Sect as a guest and stayed temporarily. I saw the primordial spirit avatar left by my master and was taken in as a disciple by him, thus joining the White Crane Immortal Sect."

Dugu Feiyan suddenly realized: "So, the so-called legacy left by Su Shaoling is actually a clone of his own primordial spirit?"

"Yes."

Dugu Feiyan nodded: "Alright, if we're talking about seniority, it's not a problem for you to call me 'sister.' What did your senior brother ask you to bring me?"

Lin Chen took out the token and the image-recording stone that Gu Gongyou had given him and handed them to Dugu Feiyan.

"Just a moment."

Dugu Feiyan took two items into the inner room, clearly to check the recording stone.

After a while, Dugu Feiyan returned, her once calm gaze now showing a hint of turmoil.

How is your senior brother doing now?

Lin Chen replied, "I've only met him once. He's been in seclusion for three hundred years, but he seems to be in good spirits. He said he might be breaking through soon."

Dugu Feiyan's eyes lit up: "Mid-stage Celestial Immortal?"

"Correct!"

Dugu Feiyan was a friend of Gu Gongyou, and the White Crane Immortal Sect and the Northern Profound Sect were not enemies, so Lin Chen did not hide anything from her.

Dugu Feiyan smiled with satisfaction: "He is finally about to take another step forward. He has paid too much to get to this point."

Lin Chen was unaware of the relationship between Dugu Feiyan and Gu Gongyou, so he couldn't offer much comment.

After a two-second silence, Lin Chen decided to take his leave.

"Sister Dugu, I have completed my senior brother's request, so I will take my leave now."

"Don't leave in a hurry."

Dugu Feiyan picked up a teacup and poured Lin Chen a cup of tea: "You've already called me 'sister,' you can't just come here and leave without even having a sip of water."

Lin Chen had no choice but to sit down and obediently drink his tea.

The tea was undoubtedly a divine tea with an ethereal quality, but Lin Chen didn't quite like the taste of it.

It's a little awkward sitting here since we don't know each other well. "Did your senior brother tell you about our relationship?"

Lin Chen shook his head honestly: "He didn't mention anything."

Gu Gongyou actually mentioned it; he used two words to describe their relationship: "old friends."

Lin Chen didn't know what kind of reaction saying those two words to a woman would elicit, so he simply pretended not to know.

Dugu Feiyan stared at Lin Chen and smiled, "You're probably wondering if we're lovers, aren't you?"

Lin Chen felt increasingly embarrassed when his thoughts were exposed.

Fortunately, Dugu Feiyan did not embarrass Lin Chen and took the initiative to say, "We are not lovers."

No?

Lin Chen was somewhat surprised this time.

If we're not lovers, why are you being so secretive, senior?
Could it be unrequited love, or perhaps a secret crush?

Lin Chen's gossip-loving spirit was instantly ignited, but he didn't dare to ask, so he just listened obediently.

Dugu Feiyan exhaled: "We went through danger together, were trapped in a secret realm together, and were imprisoned for ten years before finally escaping by chance. We can be considered friends who have gone through thick and thin together. Hmm, if we had been imprisoned for a longer period of time, we might have actually become lovers."

A friend in need is a friend indeed!

Senior brother, you're not good enough!

You two, a single man and a single woman, have been together for ten years in a closed space—an environment perfectly suited for dating, having children, and yet you still couldn't make it work?

Dugu Feiyan showed the token that Lin Chen had given her before, and then took out a map from her spatial ring.

"These are the rewards of our adventure: a map and a token, representing an opportunity that may or may not exist."

"The location marked on this map is the cave dwelling left by a peak Celestial Immortal. This token is the key to entry. However, there is a restriction on this cave dwelling: only True Immortals and those with strength below True Immortal are allowed to enter."

"At that time, we were both at the peak of True Immortal, which was enough to enter. We agreed to explore this cave together later, so we each took one of the map and one of the tokens."

"Whether it's the map or the token, having only one won't allow you to enter the cave. But who knew that something would delay us after we returned to the sect? And most importantly, we both successfully advanced to become Celestial Immortals, losing our qualification to enter the cave."

"We haven't told anyone about this, and it's a matter for two people. If we were to go, we should go together, so it's been delayed until now."

"Your senior brother asked you to bring this token to me this time. He said that he felt very sorry for not being able to fulfill our original agreement after so many years, so he gave me this token and told me to find someone to explore it myself."

Dugu Feiyan smiled: "Actually, after I broke through to the Golden Immortal realm, I didn't take this matter to heart anymore, and I regarded it as a nice memory. But now that he has sent the token over, there has to be a way to deal with this matter..."
