The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2088 The True Child of Destiny
"You're at the early stage of Celestial Immortal? How old are you?"

Hong Guiling, a young woman dressed in a blue robe, looked Lin Chen up and down, seemingly slightly dissatisfied with him, and asked him a question.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "You're quite old, and you may not live much longer, but you won't die so soon."

Lin Chen's meaning was simple: no matter how old I am, I may be very old, or even about to die, but I won't die so soon, and I won't die while entering the Heavenly River Secret Realm, so you don't need to worry about me.

Hong Guiling raised an eyebrow and sneered at the agent, "Can't you find us a late-stage Celestial Immortal?"

The agent said with a smile, "Team formation is a two-way selection process. You choose others, and others also choose their teammates. This Fellow Daoist Lin is already the most suitable person."

Xiao Shubo, a young man sitting cross-legged with an arrogant expression, coldly said, "That's enough. As long as there are five Celestial Immortals, we can operate the Five Absolute Formation. It doesn't matter if their strength is high or low, as long as we have enough."

Hong Guiling raised her eyebrows: "The Heavenly River Secret Realm is fraught with danger. It's always better to be stronger than weaker, right?"

Xiao Shubo coldly replied, "You're only at the early stage of Celestial Immortal, why would you expect a late-stage or even peak Celestial Immortal to team up with you? They could kill you with a single slap, what would they gain from teaming up with you?"

Hong Guiling retorted angrily, "Xiao Shubo, I'm doing this for everyone's good, why are you targeting me?"

Xiao Shubo calmly replied, "I'm just stating the facts."

The two were at loggerheads when Song Jun, a man sitting nearby, tried to smooth things over, saying, "We can talk things out. If we successfully form a team, we'll be teammates and face all sorts of dangers together. Why are we arguing now?"

The remaining woman in colorful clothes, Lu Xinyan, calmly said, "That's enough. Let's stop this fussing."

Upon hearing Lu Xinyan's words, Hong Guiling pouted and stopped making a fuss, snorting, "If you say it's okay, then it's okay. I shouldn't have said anything."

Lin Chen remained silent. In any case, he wasn't planning to stay with them forever and could slip away at any time.

Seeing that everyone had stopped arguing, the real estate agent smiled and brought out a doll of promises.

Lin Chen had heard of the Promise Doll before, but this was the first time he had seen the real thing. He had originally thought that the doll would be something extraordinary, but when he actually saw it, he was disappointed.

That's it? The Promise doll is about thirty centimeters tall and is a wooden carving. The carving is very rough because the doll's face is blank. Only on its belly are there intricate patterns that converge into a circle. In the center of the circle is a flamboyant character for "oath".

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. He sensed the aura of "Dao" within it. It seemed that this Promise Doll was made by a powerful being who had mastered the Dao of Promises, and the word "oath" must have been written by him personally, with the aura of Dao infused into it.

The oath is standardized and rigorously tested, leaving no room for loopholes, but it doesn't overly constrain the person making the oath.

After Lin Chen checked and confirmed that everything was correct, everyone forced out a drop of their heart's blood and placed it on the word "oath." Then they read the oath aloud, and that was considered complete.

Lin Chen felt a special connection between himself and the people in front of him. This feeling quickly weakened and disappeared when everyone finished making their oaths. However, Lin Chen knew that if he broke his oath, the consequences would be dire.

After the real estate agent left with a smile, Xiao Shubo glanced at the four people and said in a deep voice, "My strength is at the mid-stage of the Celestial Immortal realm, just one step away from the late-stage. I'll be the team leader. Does anyone have any objections?"

"No comment."

"You are the strongest and possess the Five Absolute Formations, so naturally we will listen to you."

"Row!"

Xiao Shubo nodded in satisfaction and said in a deep voice, "Although we are not even at the late stage of the Heavenly Immortal realm, with the Five Absolute Formation in my hand, as long as the five of us work together, it is not impossible to kill a peak Heavenly Immortal. So as long as we do not provoke enemies above the Great Luo realm, we will not be in danger."

"Also, there's something I want to tell everyone: I have a very strong destiny and extremely good fortune. Whether I'm exploring or treasure hunting, I never come back empty-handed, unless there's no treasure at all in the place I'm exploring."

Everyone, including Lin Chen, widened their eyes in shock and delight.

A destiny marked by great fortune?

Lin Chen had heard of this kind of destiny. To put it simply, such people are the true chosen ones, favored by the heavens. They can find gold on a main road and stumble upon elixirs on a side road!
Lin Chen was quite surprised. He had always been lucky, and people often said that he was the chosen one. Today, was he a fake meeting the real deal?

Lin Chen suddenly felt a surge of anticipation for this adventure!
