The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2349 Am I jealous?
"Yes, I've wanted to know for a long time, but I've never dared to ask."

Lin Chen answered frankly, "I now have the opportunity to have Master Taixu help me once, and I also saved the disciples of the Three Sects. They owe me a huge favor. If their help can help Sister Qi..."

"No way."

Qi interrupted Lin Chen gently, chuckling, "I'm very happy that you're using this hard-won chance to save your life to help me, but there's nothing they can do to help with this."

Lin Chen was immediately disheartened: "Even top-tier figures like them can't help?"

Qi Wenrou replied, "When I said they couldn't help, it wasn't because they weren't capable enough, but because the matter I need to handle is quite complex and involves many deep issues. It's not something that anyone can resolve in one go."

Lin Chen nodded silently, thought for a moment and said, "That's alright. It's better to rely on yourself than others. When I'm stronger, I'll go with Sister Qi. Even if I have to travel all over the Immortal Realm and fight against everyone in the Immortal Realm, I will definitely help Sister Qi solve her problem."

Qi nodded gently, a friendly smile on her face: "I left you for so long before to look for someone. Logically speaking, he should have died long ago, but I was unwilling to accept it, so I went to some possible places to look again."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up: "And then what? You didn't find it?"

Qi hummed in agreement: "I haven't found any evidence to prove he's still alive. If he were still alive, so much time should have passed without any movement or news..."

Lin Chen whispered, "So... he's really dead?"

Qi's eyes were complicated: "Everything proves that he is really dead, but I always feel that he is still alive... It's contradictory, isn't it?"

Lin Chen was silent for two seconds: "Then have you found concrete evidence of his death?"

Qi shook his head: "No, such a proud person would never let anyone see him in defeat or death, even if he were to die."

Lin Chen gently comforted him, "Since there is no concrete evidence to prove that he is dead, then it is possible that he is alive. Perhaps he is too badly injured and is hiding somewhere to heal. It is no small matter for a strong person of such a level to be injured. It is entirely possible that the healing time is long. Maybe he will suddenly appear one day... Is he the previous owner of the Linglong Pagoda?"

Qi nodded: "Yes, it was because of a certain fortuitous encounter he had that the Linglong Pagoda gave birth to me..."

Because of that person, Qi was born?
Lin Chen originally thought that Qi was born at the same time as the Linglong Tower, but now he realized that he was wrong.

Lin Chen asked curiously, "So, what's your relationship with him?"

Qi replied, "Father and daughter."

For some reason, Lin Chen felt a sense of relief upon hearing Qi's answer.

Lin Chen himself noticed this and immediately reflected on why he felt this way.
Am I jealous?
Is she jealous of her former master?

She had previously imagined that her former master might have been a powerful being with extraordinary cultivation, and that she and he might have been comrades-in-arms, master and servant, or lovers, which led to a strange sense of comparison.

Now that I heard that the other person is like a father and daughter, I realized that it wasn't what I had thought, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

Qi's seemingly insightful gaze fell on Lin Chen's face, and she smiled and said, "What, did you always think that I had a romantic relationship with the previous owner of the Linglong Tower?" Lin Chen's face immediately fell, and he looked quite embarrassed: "Ahem, I was wrong, I'm sorry, Sister Qi."

Qi smiled lightly, "No need to apologize. It was my own fault for not saying it. It's normal that you had some suspicions."

Lin Chen didn't dare to dwell on this topic and quickly changed the subject: "How did that senior disappear? Where did he last appear? Who is your enemy?"

Qi replied, "He had many enemies. The last battle was in the Sacred Heart Immortal Realm. He finally broke through space to send me away, then broke through the encirclement himself and disappeared without a trace."

"Sacred Heart Immortal Realm?"

Lin Chen repeated it to himself, then suddenly exclaimed in horror, "Isn't that the Immortal Realm where the Immortal Emperor resides?"

"Yes, it is the Immortal Realm where the Immortal Emperor resides."

Qi replied, "I went back to inquire. That battle was the last news of him in the world. He disappeared without a trace after that. Thinking of those peerless experts who besieged him, and his decision to send me away, and finally his complete disappearance, all of this indicates that he is completely dead. But I am unwilling to accept it. I always feel that he is still alive, somewhere in this world, waiting for me to find him..."

Lin Chen said in a deep voice, "He was eventually surrounded and attacked, and then disappeared without a trace. There are only two possibilities: first, he was completely killed, his body and soul destroyed; second, he was captured and secretly imprisoned, and all those who knew him kept their mouths shut, so no one knows where he is."

Qi pursed her lips, her eyes turning somewhat murderous: "Yes, I also want to question those people one by one, but I am ultimately just a spirit of a weapon. If I show myself, let alone questioning or investigating, I will probably fall directly into their hands and be controlled by them."

Lin Chen then asked, "So, who were those people who attacked you, senior?"

Qi looked at Lin Chen with a slightly hesitant gaze, and finally shook her head: "They are too far away from you. Knowing about them will not help you or do you any good. It's enough that you know about this. I will tell you more details when the situation is more suitable later."

Although Lin Chen was a little disappointed, he could roughly understand that Qi Jie's former master was probably a powerful figure with explosive strength. Otherwise, how could she have been surrounded and attacked by a group of peerless experts?

Such a person's enemies are naturally also extremely terrifying beings. With his current strength, he is like an ant in their eyes, someone they can easily crush.

Lin Chen thought of something else and asked, "If the Linglong Pagoda is exposed to them, won't they recognize you?"

Sister Qi nodded: "Yes, although the Myriad Gods Immortal Realm cannot compare to the Sacred Heart Immortal Realm, it is still one of the eight great immortal realms below the Immortal Emperor. There are some capable people there. As the people you come into contact with become more and more powerful and their levels rise, the probability of them recognizing me will increase. So try not to expose me to the public in the future."

Lin Chen nodded solemnly: "Okay, Sister Qi, I will be careful."

It is a crime to possess a treasure!
The Yin-Yang Water-Fire Mirror is like this, and so is the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda!

If exposed to the eyes of a greedy being, do you think he would try to reason with you or rob you?

Qi smiled and comforted him, "You don't need to be too nervous. There are countless magical treasures like towers, cauldrons, bells, and swords in the world. As long as you don't reveal your extraordinary abilities too much, even if others see them, they may not associate them with me..."
