The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2022 My mortal body is entirely due to my efforts to change my fate!

Yao Xuanji's beautiful eyes were filled with shock and surprise.

"Sister Ziyun, you've advanced to the Great Luo realm?"

Venerable Ziyun smiled and said, "I have to thank Lin Chen. He helped me gather the eight main ingredients for the Nine Revolutions Great Luo Pill and successfully refined the pill, which enabled me to advance to the Great Luo level in one go. Without this medicine, I'm afraid it would have been very difficult for me to succeed."

Shu Zifeng stared at Yao Xuanji, his expression slightly curious: "My master gave me a tremendous opportunity to save me, which is why I am who I am today. Everything I have is thanks to my master... Should I call you master's wife?"

Yao Xuanji's face suddenly turned red, and for a moment she didn't know how to answer.

The answer seems a bit awkward.

She kept her relationship with Lin Chen a secret and never announced it to anyone...

If the answer is no, that won't work either.

I can't just call myself "older sister," that would be confusing.

Seeing Yao Xuanji's flushed face, Lin Chen said to ease the tension, "Go ahead and call her that. Even if she isn't now, she definitely will be in the future. This master's wife can't escape."

Shu Zifeng immediately greeted her obediently, "Hello, Master's wife."

Yao Xuanji blushed, but quickly agreed: "Zifeng, hello, nice to meet you... I didn't prepare a gift, I'll make it up to you later."

Yao Xuanji certainly has many good things, but Shu Zifeng is already a Great Luo Venerable. He calls her "Master's Wife" so obediently. How could he possibly have any good things to offer?
Yao Xuanji had already made up her mind to search through her father's treasure trove later and pick out some top-quality items as a gift for Shu Zifeng.

Hmm, let's just take Shu Zifeng with us and let her choose for herself!

Who told her to be Lin Chen's top disciple, and even call him "Master's Wife"!
Yao Xuanji looked at Lin Chen, her eyes filled with barely suppressed admiration.

Lin Chen is amazing!
It's only been a short time since they parted ways. When they parted, Lin Chen was only at the early stage of Golden Immortal. Now, Lin Chen has advanced to the level of Celestial Immortal and even possesses the miraculous clone ability that only a Great Luo Venerable could have, in his immortal form.

He even single-handedly helped Sister Ziyun advance to the Great Luo realm and took in a disciple who was just as monstrous, advancing from below the level of an immortal to the Great Luo Venerable in just one or two decades!
When I first met him, how much strength did he have?
Even with his own severed limbs, he could fight and protect him back then, but in such a short time, his cultivation level has caught up with his own. If we're talking about combat power alone, he's probably no weaker than him.

"Uncle Yao, are you still in seclusion?" Yao Xuanji said with a wry smile, "Yes, I don't know how things are going."

Lin Chen comforted him, "No news isn't exactly good news, but it's not bad news either. At least it means he's safe for now."

Yao Xuanji hummed in agreement: "Do you have any plans?"

Lin Chen sighed, "The other side sent three Grand Luo Venerables. Originally, we wanted to see if Uncle Yao had advanced to the Grand Luo level. If he had, even if we were outmatched in a three-on-three battle, we should still have a fighting chance. But Uncle Yao hasn't broken through yet, and we can't wait any longer. If we wait until they come to our gates and reach the Immortal Palace, we'll be in a very passive position. After all, we definitely can't handle a head-on battle."

"Leaving aside the three Great Luo Venerables, the tens of thousands of immortals who were coerced into following the flying boat are enough to flatten the Immortal Palace into dust. Therefore, we must stop them from getting any closer to the Immortal Palace."

Yao Xuanji asked, "Is there anything the Celestial Palace can do to help?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "Compared to that team of tens of thousands of immortals, no matter how many the Immortal Palace sends, they can't withstand a wave of attacks from the enemy. On the contrary, the more people there are, the easier it is to expose our position. Just me and the two of them will be fine."

Yao Xuanji asked worriedly, "You're only at the Celestial Immortal level. What if you run into a Grand Luo Venerable?"

Lin Chen chuckled: "If it were before, I definitely wouldn't have dared to go, since the chances of being captured by the other party were too high. But now, I'm not afraid. My real body is hiding in the Linglong Tower, and my clones can go out and fight just the same. Even if I'm accidentally killed, it won't harm my essence."

Yao Xuanji breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "It seems that your clone ability is truly a divine skill. In the future, when you encounter dangerous or uncertain situations, just send your clones to handle them, and your safety will be greatly enhanced."

Lin Chen shrugged: "There's nothing I can do. I'm just not as strong as others. Most of my skills are either for self-defense or escaping..."

Yao Xuanji was amused by Lin Chen's words: "You're just talking nonsense. How old are you? You're already a celestial being. I've never seen anyone advance faster than you. Uh, Zifeng doesn't count..."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "She has a growth-type sword spirit body, which I can't compare to. I am just an ordinary person, and I have changed my fate through hard work."

Yao Xuanji said with concern, "If you can't stop the people from the Three Saints Sect this time, don't force it. Just do your best. If it's too bad, we can just give up the Thunder Immortal Realm and go to another immortal realm. Safety first."

Lin Chen nodded: "Okay, by the way, it's not safe for Nalan Wushuang to stay on the Heavenly Demon Continent, so I brought her back. She'll stay in the Immortal Palace for now. Could you help look after her?"

Yao Xuanji blinked: "Alright... Although the Three Saints Sect will not pass through the Divine Wood Sect, let alone go to the Divine Fire Continent, the situation is unpredictable. Should I send someone to bring Jiaxue and Yueyue back to the Immortal Palace?"
