The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2302 Why are all the visiting delegation members monks and Taoist priests?
"Brother Chen, are you traveling alone without any guards?"

Chen Youdong replied, "I'll bring a guard. What can I do? I'm a useless cultivator, stuck at the Void Realm and can't advance any further. Although my guard is stronger than me, he's not that great. If we really get into trouble, it would be good enough if he could just take me with him."

Chen Youdong didn't say it explicitly, but Lin Chen understood.

Chen Youdong probably felt that his group was quite capable, so he took the initiative to help them make friends, so that if they encountered any difficulties along the way, he could lend a helping hand. This is what he meant by "having more friends means having more paths to take".

Lin Chen wasn't offended by this; after all, there's no hatred without a reason, and even less so love without a reason.

Why wouldn't I want to learn about the situation in Beihai through Chen Youdong?
As everyone was chatting, a deafening roar suddenly came from the sky.

Lin Chen turned his head and looked out through the large window, only to see a large group of people appearing in the sky and rapidly approaching this direction.

Nine azure qilin pulled an extremely ornate carriage, flying smoothly and swiftly. Around the carriage, many women dressed as maids circled around it, riding the wind.

Ahead and behind the chariot were numerous knights riding winged lions. These knights were uniformly dressed and exuded an extremely powerful aura, indicating their formidable strength. They appeared to be the guards of the people in the chariot.

The roars came from the blue Qilin pulling the carriage. They exhaled their breath and pulled the carriage at high speed, soon arriving above Hailing City.

The carriage stopped in front of Lin Chen and the others, and then descended into the city.

"Hmm, it seems they're here for this inn?"

Chen Youdong, seemingly unfazed, chuckled and said, "This is the best hotel in the entire Hailing City. Judging from their demeanor, they are clearly no ordinary people. If they are going to spend the night here, they will most likely stay here. It's normal to bump into anyone here."

Lin Chen glanced at everyone and said with a puzzled look, "There are no faction insignia."

"They deliberately hid it."

Chen Youdong explained with a smile, "Not everyone likes to reveal their identity when they go out. Revealing your identity can certainly reduce some trouble, but it may also bring many unknown troubles."

At this moment, the group had completely landed in the spacious courtyard of the inn. The azure Qilin was led to the shed where the monsters lived, and a young woman stepped down from the carriage.

The woman was wrapped in a gauze skirt, and her face was covered by a white veil. The veil was clearly enchanted, allowing glimpses of her features to be seen, but nothing was clear, giving the impression of looking at flowers through a mist. However, one thing was certain: she was a stunning beauty. Her figure, her demeanor, her face—it would be strange if she weren't.

The maids quickly surrounded the woman in the gauze dress and led her into a secluded courtyard. The accompanying guards quickly dispersed to guard the entire courtyard. Judging from the tightness of the guard, it was unlikely that even a fly could get in.

"This is clearly a wealthy young lady traveling. The guards all look powerful and fierce, and the maids are all equally formidable. But the most powerful one should be the head guard..."

Chen Youdong withdrew his gaze and smiled, "Most of those who come to Hailing City, apart from a few who are doing business here, are going to the North Sea by boat. The Sea King is setting sail tomorrow, and these people may also be passengers of the Sea King."

Lin Chen casually asked, "How many people can the Neptune carry?"

Chen Youdong laughed and said, "About two thousand people, I mean the guests. If you include the crew, guards and many service personnel, there are at least three or four thousand people on the ship."

As everyone was chatting, another giant ship suddenly appeared in the sky, hovering above the city. Squads of guards flew out of the ship, forming neat ranks.

Immediately afterwards, a large group of people appeared, surrounded and protected by all the guards, and headed towards the inn below.

"Monk, Taoist priest?"

Lin Chen looked at the group of people surrounded by guards, his eyes showing a slight surprise.

Chen Youdong replied, "They should be the visiting delegation I was referring to. It was because of their trip that the Neptune was able to travel, and we were able to hitch a ride. Otherwise, we would have had to wait our time on a first-class ship."

Ziyun asked curiously, "Why are all the visiting delegation members monks and Taoist priests?"

Chen Youdong smiled and said, "Perhaps it's a matter of religion. Although there are many sects in Donghuang, only Buddhism, Taoism and Longshan Sect have truly become large-scale and influential. The Beihai area is mostly inhabited by sea people, who worship the Sea God Sect. There are often some exchanges and competitions between sects."

Upon closer inspection, Lin Chen realized that the bald-headed man was naturally a Buddhist, but the remaining Taoist priests, dressed in robes and with hairpins in their hair, were divided into two types of attire: one in a green robe and the other in a black robe, which should belong to Taoism and Longshan Sect respectively.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "It seems there are quite a few distinguished guests on this ship."
