The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2254 Being interesting is more important than anything else!

"Sister Qi, is it alright for us to go out?"

Qi smiled and said, "The spatial rifts in this folded space are more for intruders, so those who enter will be crushed by the spatial rifts, but leaving is very simple."

"You can roughly understand it as being surrounded by an area filled with spears, but the tips of these spears are all pointing inwards. If you try to squeeze in from the outside, you will be injured or even killed by countless spear tips. But if you want to go from the inside out, you only need to follow the shaft of the spear outwards, and finally slightly push aside the spear tips, and you can leave safely."

Lin Chen immediately understood: "Sister Qi's analogy is so vivid and apt, I understood it right away."

After a pause, Lin Chen asked, "Do you remember that Taixu from earlier?"

Qi pondered for a moment: "I think I've heard someone mention it before, but I don't have any specific memory of it."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "If you can find out about this, you must be a really powerful person. I never thought I would actually have to deal with such a powerful person face to face this time. Luckily, no conflict occurred, otherwise, I would have been finished."

Qi said calmly, "The Yin-Yang Spring is not that important to him. It's normal for him to let you pass by if he finds you interesting. After all, discovering something interesting is much more interesting to them than any rare treasures."

Lin Chen thought about it and realized it made sense: "With such long lives, they must have experienced everything, countless times. Moreover, he is a spatial expert who can set foot in countless worlds. He must lack nothing... Sigh, where is the fun in such a life?"

Qi smiled slightly: "So, interesting things are quite attractive to them. Obviously, he's developed some interest in you."

Lin Chen asked in confusion, "I am a Celestial Immortal. In his eyes, I am probably like an ant. Why do you find it interesting?"

Qi replied, "The Yin-Yang Water and Fire Mirror is such a powerful magic weapon, but it fell into the mortal world by mistake and was picked up by you, a mortal. You used it to get started and quickly reached the Celestial Immortal realm. You have a sword-like body, extraordinary phenomena hidden in your heart, and you even saved a Great Luo Immortal. With all these things combined, isn't that interesting? Have you forgotten how Fu Yunzi described you?"

Lin Chen suddenly came to his senses. That's right, Fu Yunzi had described him as "interesting" before, which is why he wanted to take him as a disciple. Now he had met another immortal, Taixu, who also found him interesting, so he had given him a lot of convenience and let him go.

"These big shots seem to have pretty boring lives..."

Lin Chen sighed, "Having cultivated to this level, they're probably almost devoid of desires and wants, right?" Qi replied, "As long as they're still below the level of a sage, they have a unified pursuit, or rather, a single pursuit: to become a sage. That's not something you can achieve just by thinking about it or by working hard."

"The Immortal Realm is boundless, and the Immortal Domains are countless. Apart from the Immortal Emperor, who is a saint known to everyone, how many others have actually attained sainthood? We've hardly seen any, have we?"

Lin Chen's eyes widened: "Could it be that the Immortal Emperor is the only saint in the entire Immortal Realm?"

Qi shook his head: "I don't know. Perhaps the Immortal Emperor knows the answer. You can ask him when you have the chance."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I don't have that honor. In the eyes of the Immortal Emperor, my strength is no different from that of a mortal. To want to talk to him is just a dream."

Qi Qingrou's gaze fell on Lin Chen's face, and her tone was equally gentle: "Just because it's not possible now doesn't mean it won't be possible later."

Lin Chen felt a strange mix of emotions under Qi's gaze: "Sister Qi, when you changed your mind and chose me, was it because I was...an interesting person in your eyes?"

Qi was silent for a few seconds, then nodded slightly: "On one hand, it's my own reason, and on the other hand, I feel that you are different from others, well, you could also interpret it as interesting, so I wanted to take a look."

“I originally thought it would take you a long time to get to this point, but you only took a short time. Now you are about to advance to the Great Luo. Although the road ahead will be more difficult and the advancement will be harder, I believe that no matter how long it takes, you will eventually get there.”

"Your aptitude and talent are nothing compared to the many geniuses in the entire Immortal Realm, but you have done what they could not do, and you have advanced smoothly what they could not advance."

Lin Chen rubbed his nose: "Didn't you help me a lot, Sister Qi? Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy."

Qi smiled and said, "This is the superficial reason, but not the main reason. In short, don't underestimate yourself. I have more and more confidence in you now. Immortal Emperors and Sages seem far away to you now, but perhaps one day you will find that they are not so far away after all..."
