The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2123 Pretending to be weak while actually being strong, he's been hiding it well!

Am I being rejected?
A celestial being disdains a Grand Luo Venerable?
Zhao Xinyu felt a mix of joy and sorrow, but although Lin Chen's words were harsh and hurtful, they were highly credible.

With the Black Dragon of the Profound Realm, Nangong Ye of the Illusion Breaking Realm, and Venerable Ziyun and Shu Zifeng of the Heavenly Origin Realm by his side, Lin Chen really doesn't need to worry about being another Heavenly Origin Realm expert.

Lin Chen is willing to spare his life now because he can use the Pegasus Knights to help him collect Ink Immortal Crystals, and he can also act as an inside agent for him to pass on information from within the Three Saints Sect.

If the Three Saints Sect really collapses, then my existence will be of no value.

Zhao Xinyu believed it.

"Okay, I will try my best to complete the task."

Lin Chen changed the question: "Can you find the other members of the Three Saints Sect?"

Zhao Xinyu nodded: "Yes."

Zhao Xinyu took out a compass with a pointer on it; its structure looked very simple.

"This is a mother-child compass. The mother compass is in Fu Zongjing's hands, and this is the child compass. As long as enough spiritual power is injected, the mother-child compass will point to the direction where the other party is located."

Lin Chen asked, "How far?"

Zhao Xinyu shook her head: "It can only determine the direction, not the specific distance. If the distance is too far, the compass will not react at all."

Lin Chen fiddled with the compass: "If I inject spiritual power into it, and the compass needle points to the other party's location, will the other party's compass react?"

Zhao Xinyu replied, "No, this direction is one-way."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "What would they think if they couldn't contact you using the compass?"

"The compass is broken, the distance is too far, or the compass is not receiving signals."

Lin Chen nodded: "Understood. I've taken the compass. You'll have to come up with your own reason."

Although Zhao Xinyu was somewhat worried about how to come up with this reason, she dared not say anything and could only respectfully agree.

"Go back."

"Yes!"

Zhao Xinyu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left.

Nangong Ye's eyes lit up with delight: "With Zhao Xinyu as our inside man, it will be much easier for us to deal with the people from the Three Saints Sect."

Lin Chen nodded, but then sighed, "Dealing with Tianyuan and Pohuan might be manageable, but defeating or killing Xiangxuan or Yu Shoudao won't be easy for us with our current strength."

Nangong Ye already knew about the relationship between the Dark Ancestral Dragon and Lin Chen, but he was not discouraged. He smiled and said, "Let's take it one step at a time. The Three Saints Sect only has thirteen Great Luo Venerables in total. Counting Zhao Xinyu, four of them have already left, leaving only nine. There are fewer and fewer of them."

Lin Chen laughed, "Alright, there's no rush. We have plenty of time. I'll continue my adventure." Venerable Ziyun smiled and said, "Continue to play the fool in your team to outsmart the enemy?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "No way, I helped them. If I hadn't covered their escape route that day, they might all be dead. If it weren't for me, would they have been able to bring out so many Ink Immortal Crystals this time?"

"Xiao Shubo is a true chosen one of destiny. Following him will be beneficial, much better than me searching everywhere on my own. Who knows, we might discover the cultivation techniques of the six great masters one day?"

The group entered the Linglong Tower. Lin Chen followed the direction of the brand and traveled thousands of miles before finding Xiao Shubo and the others resting in a valley.

When Xiao Shubo and the others saw Lin Chen, their eyes lit up with surprise, but also with a hint of shock.

He really escaped!

In perfect condition!

They saw four Great Luo Venerables chasing after them, how could they escape so easily?

This is awesome!

Hong Guiling stood up in surprise and looked Lin Chen up and down. She found that Lin Chen's clothes were not wrinkled at all and he looked exactly the same as when he left. She was immediately amazed and exclaimed, "How did you do that? Four Great Luo Venerables couldn't catch you?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "It's just a little trick of escaping like a cicada shedding its shell. They were all fooled. I teased Chen Xiong and the others the same way before. I told them I'm not good at fighting, but I can escape... They didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

Xiao Shubo laughed and said, "No, after you left, we quickly slipped away. Although many people saw us, no one attacked us. Obviously, no one thought you could escape."

Song Jun exclaimed in admiration, "If they knew you could escape, they definitely wouldn't have let us leave so easily..."

Lin Chen smiled, said no more, and took out the Ink Immortal Crystal that Xiao Shubo had given him earlier: "The Ink Immortal Crystal is here, returned to its rightful owner."

Xiao Shubo laughed and said, "Let's just split it up."

No one objected. Soon, the Ink Immortal Crystals were distributed. Lin Chen took 40%, and including the ones he got from Zhao Xinyu, he had more than 200 Ink Immortal Crystals!
Unexpected wealth!

Indeed, a horse won't get fat without night grass, and a person won't get rich without unexpected wealth!
Putting everything else aside, just this huge amount of Ink Immortal Crystals alone makes this trip to the Heavenly River Secret Realm incredibly profitable.

"Shall we continue?"

"continue!"

Lin Chen took out the whirlwind flag, and with a flick of his wrist, the unconscious boy was shaken out and landed back on the flying boat.

The group set off again to continue their search.

Behind everyone, out of sight of anyone, the boy opened his eyes, his deep and bright gaze falling on Lin Chen's back. A meaningful smile appeared on his lips.

This kid is playing dumb to fool others; he's really good at hiding his true strength!
