The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1788 How could it be such a coincidence?

"Sect Leader Gao, please don't be so quick to refuse."

Lin Chen looked Gao Chen in the eye and smiled, “Perhaps your sect also has problems that it can’t solve. The Immortal Palace can help solve them. In addition, I will be learning the Soul Separation Technique by myself. I can swear that I will never pass it on to anyone else and will not let your sect’s secret be leaked.”

"Think about it from another perspective. Just think of it as taking in another disciple, but this disciple has a very powerful background and can help you solve some big problems that you can't even solve yourselves. Isn't that a good thing for the Soul Separation Sect?"

Gao Chen and the others all wore strange expressions.

Gao Chen asked, "Special Envoy Lin, I have already agreed to help you, so why do you still insist on learning the Soul Separation Technique?"

Lin Chen replied, "The Palace Master said that it is best not to entrust matters that can be handled and resolved by oneself to others. This matter is very important to someone, so there is no room for the slightest mistake."

Gao Chen frowned: "So, the Palace Master sent you here to learn the Soul Separation Technique in order to ensure that the Soul Separation goes smoothly without any mishaps?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, having learned the Soul Separation Technique, even if I can't reach your level, I can still understand the state of the soul more accurately and make predictions."

Before Lin Chen arrived, he received careful instructions from Yao Xuanji, who told him that when he was out and about, he could represent the Immortal Palace in negotiating with others.

Yao Xuanji unconditionally supports any decision Lin Chen makes.

Although Lin Chen did not intend to rely entirely on the Immortal Palace, in a place where he was unfamiliar with people and people, it was obviously very useful to use the Immortal Palace's name and influence.

If it weren't for his status as a special envoy of the Celestial Palace, he would never have been able to enter this gate.

Gao Chen was silent for a few seconds, then chuckled and said, "Although I am the sect leader, this matter involves the interests of the sect, and I cannot make a decision on my own. Special Envoy Lin, why don't you stay here for now, and we will discuss it and give you an answer later."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Sect Leader Gao, could you please give me a specific time?"

Gao Chen thought for a moment and said, "One of the important high-ranking members of my sect has not yet returned. It is estimated that he will be gone for another ten days or so. How about this, Special Envoy Lin, stay here for half a month. After half a month, no matter what the outcome is, I will definitely give you a definite answer."

"it is good!"

After the business was concluded, Lin Chen was led out of the main hall.

As soon as Lin Chen left, the smiles on the faces of everyone in the hall vanished, replaced by serious expressions.

Ouyang Ye activated the array in the main hall, isolating it from the outside world, before speaking: "What do you think of this matter? Why did the Immortal Palace suddenly send a special envoy at this sensitive juncture?" Gao Chen frowned and said: "To help someone separate their soul, but also to learn the soul separation technique, this is our secret. I always feel that things are not that simple."

Vice Sect Master Chen He said softly, "Could it be that the Immortal Palace heard some news and sent this Lin Qing here, ostensibly to help people separate their souls, but under the guise of learning the soul separation technique, to probe our attitude?"

Ouyang Ye exclaimed in surprise, "You mean they've discovered that we're cooperating with the Heavenly Dao Alliance?"

Chen He replied, "Otherwise, there's no way to explain it. It's too much of a coincidence! The Celestial Palace has never paid any attention to us for so many years, but now that we've just made contact with the Heavenly Dao Alliance and even established a cooperative relationship, the Celestial Palace's special envoy has come to our door. Isn't this just too much of a coincidence?"

Gao Chen asked, "What do we do now?"

Chen He replied, "The day we agreed to trade with the Heavenly Alliance is in a few days. Should we negotiate with them again and then reach a final conclusion?"

Gao Chen sighed, "We've already started cooperating with the Heavenly Dao Alliance, and there's basically no turning back. Moreover, once what we've done is exposed, we'll immediately be labeled as heretics, and the Immortal Palace might come to eliminate us."

Ouyang Ye waved his hand, making a chopping motion: "This envoy obviously came alone. Let's just kill him and pretend he was never here. Even if the Immortal Palace investigates afterward, we can still stay out of it."

Chen He asked worriedly, "How did he find our way here?"

Ouyang Ye thought for a moment: "Although he was being deliberately mysterious, I think it's still related to the disciple who went out to buy the Soul-Hooking Five-Flavor Grass. The disciple had just returned when he followed him..."

"Summon that disciple and question him."

"it is good!"

Soon, the man in black that Lin Chen had been following appeared before everyone and bowed respectfully.

"When you went to pick up the goods today, were you followed?"

The man in black shook his head: "I was keeping an eye on things, but no one was following me. However, after I left the pharmacy with the goods, someone tapped me on the shoulder. It was a man I didn't recognize. When I turned around, he said he had mistaken me for someone else."

Gao Chen's eyes lit up: "Tell me the details."

The man in black recounted the events in detail, and Gao Chen stated definitively, "You've been targeted for a long time. That person must have used some special methods during your contact to locate and track you. This Special Envoy Lin is the one who followed you all the way here..."
