The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2212 Your master is proud of you!

Shu Zifeng stood atop the giant cauldron, the mountain breeze blowing, her hair fluttering lightly. She exhaled the breath she had been holding for so long, looked at the two people in front of her, and smiled.

It worked!
Although she didn't get first place, third place was enough for her.

Although she also hoped to stand out in this competition and gain the attention of the Myriad Immortals Palace, so that she would have more say in the future, possibly rise to a higher position, have more power, and be better able to protect her family, the first step now was to pass the assessment.

Among the challengers participating in this assessment, there are many geniuses and prodigies. The fact that I was able to pass third shows that I am no worse than them!

This gave Shu Zifeng, who was initially quite apprehensive, a lot more confidence.

Looking down at the surging crowd and feeling the intense gazes of countless eyes, Shu Zifeng suddenly seemed to sense something, turned his head, and looked at a certain spot in the crowd.

Venerable Ziyun was holding Lin Chen's arm, staring at him with a look of surprise and delight. Lin Chen was also looking at him with a faint smile on his face.

Shu Zifeng's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a sudden, flustered feeling, like a deer pounding in his chest.

Finished!

My master and mistress both saw me!

I signed up without telling them. Will they blame me? Will they think I don't want to be with them and that's why I secretly want to leave?

Shu Zifeng clenched his fists for no apparent reason, and his body tensed up for a moment.

She nervously met her master's gaze, and their eyes met in mid-air.

Shu Zifeng watched as Lin Chen smiled and nodded at him, then raised his hand and clapped a few times.

Huh?
Shu Zifeng was pleasantly surprised. Was her master applauding and cheering her on?
He is laughing!
Doesn't he blame himself for keeping it from him?
Thinking of his master's gentle and tolerant nature, Shu Zifeng immediately felt relieved. His master was such a good person, he certainly wouldn't blame him, right?
I came in third place, so I shouldn't be considered to have embarrassed my mentor.

It would be even better if we could get first place!

The inheritance I have received is a great opportunity. Although I do not have the illustrious background of these people, the inheritance I possess is definitely no less than theirs!

Perhaps what I lack is cultivation resources. As long as I enter the Hall of Ten Thousand Immortals and perform well enough, why should I be afraid of not having cultivation resources?
Even if I don't cultivate the techniques of the Myriad Immortals Palace, I can still grow rapidly!
If Master wants to open up a cave dwelling, the cultivation resources needed for everyone's cultivation will be a considerable amount. As a disciple, I can't just rely on my master, can I?

Joining the Hall of Ten Thousand Immortals would reduce the cultivation resource expenditure for one person, wouldn't it?
Soon, more and more people cleared the level. These people were mostly geniuses who were quite famous in a certain area, but when they arrived here, their brilliance was overshadowed by the powerful enemies.

Time passed, and when the bells signaling the end of the time limit rang throughout the heavens and earth, the challengers who reached the summit all smiled, while those who collapsed halfway through wore expressions of defiance. The high-ranking officials of the Myriad Immortals Palace, who were supervising the assessment, personally counted all the challengers who had passed, recorded their names, and finally tallied the numbers.

One hundred and eighty-two people.

Of the thousands who took the exam, fewer than 200 passed, a pass rate of less than 5%!

An elderly man with an air of otherworldly wisdom stood before the crowd and smiled, saying, "Congratulations on passing our test. Next, you will follow us back to the Hall of Ten Thousand Immortals to officially join the Hall and become its members."

"You will have a ten-day holiday to take care of your personal matters. After ten days, we will depart and return to the Hall of Ten Thousand Immortals."

All the cultivators who passed the assessment were overjoyed. They had originally thought there would be a third round of assessment, but they didn't expect that there would only be one round of assessment besides the initial selection for survival, which directly determined the winner.

All the teams disbanded, and everyone left the Cauldron of All Beings to share the good news with their relatives or friends.

Shu Zifeng returned to Lin Chen, her expression slightly cautious: "Master..."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Why are you being so cautious? Are you afraid I'll scold you?"

Shu Zifeng said in a low voice, "This disciple came to register without informing Master..."

Lin Chen interrupted Shu Zifeng's apology and said with a smile, "You did a good job, your master is proud of you!"

Shu Zifeng's eyes lit up immediately: "Master, you're not angry with me?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Why would I blame you if you have a better place to develop? I'm just happy for you. Besides, I understand what you're thinking. This is also your way of showing your appreciation to me, and I'm very happy for you."

Shu Zifeng's eyes were slightly red. Sure enough, her master would always support her!

"Master, I will definitely work hard and not let you down!"

Lin Chen joked, "Your master isn't as good as me, so he has no shame. Don't hold back, just do what you want and make sure you're safe. Nothing else matters."

Shu Zifeng readily agreed, "Thank you, Master. Once you and your mistress have settled down, please write to me and let me know where you are. I'll come back to visit you when I have time."

Lin Chen readily agreed, "Definitely. After all, that's your home, so I'll definitely tell you the location."
