The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2374 The Holy Son's Visit
The Sea God Cult members hung high in the sky, attracting the envious gazes of countless cultivators.

Although the Myriad Immortals Palace is in charge of the entire Myriad Immortal Realm, the Sea God Sect is the only dominant force in the North Sea, even surpassing the Twelve Immortal Sects in prestige.

Representing the Moon Goddess Sect in welcoming them was Yan Rufei, the Hall Master of the Battle Hall. It was important to maintain a balance of status; if Shangguan Xuanyin arrived, the sect master would greet him, but what if the Sea God Sect leader arrived?
Wouldn't that make the Moon Goddess Sect look inferior?

After exchanging pleasantries, Shangguan Xuanyin and the others all entered the Moon God Sect, leaving behind countless cultivators engaged in excited and lively conversations.

In Beihai, the Sea God Sect is like a lofty star. Now that it can reveal its true form to everyone and get up close and personal with them, this alone is enough to make everyone talk about it and feel that the trip was worthwhile.

Lin Chen and the others returned to their residence within the sect, only to be surprised to find that Shangguan Xuanyin lived in the small building next door.

Shangguan Xuanyin was instructing his subordinates at the door when he saw Lin Chen and the others. He stopped talking, looked up, and his eyes showed a hint of doubt, because judging from their attire, they were clearly not disciples of the Moon God Sect.

Lin Chen smiled and nodded, which was considered a greeting.

Shangguan Xuanyin's identity is special, and Lin Chen's stance is clearly more aligned with the three religions, so he has no intention of befriending Shangguan Xuanyin.

Besides, he was just a rogue cultivator, while the other was the Holy Son of the Sea God Cult; their statuses were vastly different.

Shangguan Xuanyin frowned as he watched Lin Chen and the other three enter the neighboring courtyard. He then gestured with his chin to a man beside him, who nodded and quietly left.

Soon, the man returned and reported what he had found out.

Shangguan Xuanyin's expression was one of surprise: "He encountered the Ghost Master, and summoned powerful figures from the three religions to help him, severely injuring the Ghost Master?"

"Yes!"

Shangguan Xuanyin asked in confusion, "A rogue cultivator? Why would the powerful figures of the three sects help him?"

"Although he didn't say it, everyone suspects that he is the one who rescued the three holy sons of the three sects from the three Great Luo Immortal attackers during the Endless Sea attack. The three sects are grateful for his actions and are willing to help him..."

Shangguan Xuanyin's eyes lit up: "What's his strength?"

"I heard that he has just entered the Great Luo."

Shangguan Xuanyin's face showed surprise: "How did you manage to rescue the three holy sons of the three sects from the hands of three Great Luo Immortals when you first entered the Great Luo realm?"

"That's unclear. At the time, besides the attackers, there were only people from the three religions present. Only they would know the most."

Shangguan Xuanyin pondered for a moment: "Let's go and visit our neighbor." His subordinate said worriedly, "Sir, you are of noble status and attract much attention. Is it inappropriate for a mere rogue cultivator to take the initiative to visit him?"

Shangguan Xuanyin smiled and said, "The purpose of the sea attack was to frame our Sea God Sect. If it weren't for him, the mastermind would have succeeded. Although this matter has nothing to do with our Sea God Sect, he did help us reduce suspicion and lower the possibility of a major conflict between us and the three sects. So, in a way, he did help us."

"If we hadn't run into each other, that would have been fine. But since we have, we should go say hello. Let's go!"

……

Lin Chen and the others returned to the courtyard and were still discussing matters outside when a clear voice suddenly came from the doorway.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, Shangguan Xuanyin has come to pay a visit."

Gu Yuexi stood up in surprise: "Why is he here?"

Everyone was completely bewildered.

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Come on over. We have no grudge against the Sea God Sect. Maybe they just want to get to know their new neighbor."

Lin Chen arrived at the entrance, dispelled the array, and looked at Shangguan Xuanyin, who stood quietly at the entrance, and smiled, "Welcome, Holy Son!"

Shangguan Xuanyin smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin saved the three holy sons of the Three Religions in the Endless Sea and thwarted the attackers' plot, thus indirectly helping my Sea God Sect. Today, having learned that you live next door, I have come uninvited. Please forgive me."

Shangguan Xuanyin truly lived up to his reputation as the Holy Son of the Sea God Sect. His demeanor and words made people feel very comfortable, and even unconsciously gave them the feeling that "such a person is actually speaking to me with such an attitude."

Since Shangguan Xuanyin had already pointed it out, there was no point in Lin Chen denying it anymore. He smiled and stepped aside, saying, "I was also on the Sea King at the time. It was all by chance... Holy Son, please come in."

Shangguan Xuanyin waved to his subordinates and walked into the courtyard alone.

Lin Chen invited Shangguan Xuanyin to sit down in the living room before smiling and saying, "The three holy sons of the three sects are, in a sense, your opponents. I saved them, but I've only caused you trouble..."

Shangguan Xuanyin smiled slightly, his expression confident: "The Three Religions and my Sea God Sect have agreed to a battle. If we want to win, we must win fair and square in the battle, leaving the Three Religions with nothing to say. If we resort to tricks and schemes, we will be at a disadvantage."

"Although there are three of them, I am confident that I am no less than any of them."

Lin Chen praised, "Holy Son, you are very generous. However, I am new here and do not know how this competition will be conducted. Could you please tell me so that I may understand?"
