The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2458 The Ancestor has taken a liking to you, that's your good fortune!

Shang Wenyan's expression changed, and she protested, "I've already agreed to go back with you, you can't do this..."

The old man's face was grim: "We've been waiting here for so long just to see who's colluding with you. If we don't get any results, the sect leader will definitely blame me. Do you think it's easier for me to kill a mere ant, or to go back and be blamed by the sect leader?"

Shang Wenyan's face showed a struggle: "She has nothing to do with me, she just helped me find a place to live..."

The old man sneered: "You say you're kind and grateful? Fine, if you don't speak, not only that old woman, but everyone you've ever met or spoken to will die today. I'll make them die in front of you and see if you can live with your conscience!"

Shang Wenyan's expression changed drastically, and she angrily retorted, "Shameless!"

The old man said coldly, "You can choose not to speak. They're just a bunch of ants anyway. They'll die if they want."

Shang Wenyan gritted her teeth, staring intently at the old man, her eyes blazing with fury. The old man remained unmoved, responding with a cold laugh.

A few seconds later, the old man raised his hand and slowly said, "It seems you're not as kind as I thought..."

"and many more!"

Shang Wenyan shouted, and facing the old man's indifferent gaze, he said helplessly, "The Holy Son of the Sea God Sect, Shangguan Wenyin."

The old man's expression changed slightly, and he lowered his hand: "Why would he help you? Does he like you?"

Shang Wenyan shook her head: "Friend."

The young man next to him couldn't help but interject, "Friends? What guy wouldn't have feelings for you and want to be your friend?"

Shang Wenyan calmly said, "We teamed up and fought together during a secret realm adventure. I helped him then, and he said he owed me a favor. I sent him a message asking him to help me escape."

The young man sneered: "Why don't you run away yourself?"

Shang Wenyan replied, "I cannot fight, otherwise you will sense it. I am alone, which makes traveling very inconvenient and prone to accidents. I don't want any accidents to happen to me..."

At this point, Shang Wenyan gave a wry smile: "I thought I had been careful enough, but I didn't expect you to have found me so early... How did you find me?"

The old man sneered: "The sect leader noticed your disloyalty long ago, so he used some tricks. Even if you run to the ends of the earth, we will find you, let alone stay on Star River Island."

Shang Wenyan frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly reached out and pulled out a hairpin from her hair. After looking at it, she broke it in two, and a beam of light shot out from the middle and quickly dissipated into the air.

Shang Wenyan's expression turned quite ugly: "She was also bribed by you?" The old man replied calmly: "She is a disciple of Guixu. Shouldn't she obey the sect leader's orders? Do you think everyone is like you, ignoring sect rules and defecting at will?"

Shang Wenyan said coldly, "Don't you know why I defected? If you were in my shoes, would you accept it?"

The old man paused for two seconds: "The ancestor has taken a liking to you; this is your good fortune. As long as you agree, you will rise to prominence and have as many cultivation resources as you want..."

Shang Wenyan sneered, "I've already called him Ancestor, yet he wants to cultivate with me and make me his Daoist partner. Has he no shame? Has the Guixu Sect no shame?"

The old man clearly couldn't answer that question either, so he changed the subject: "You and Shangguan Wenyin really didn't have an affair?"

Shang Wenyan sneered: "What, you've been waiting here for so long, trying to catch the person who came to pick me up, just because you're worried that I'm having an affair with someone, and you're planning to capture and kill that person to make me give up, or use that person as a bargaining chip to threaten me into agreeing to your demands?"

The old man frowned: "You only need to answer, yes or no?"

"No."

Shang Wenyan said coldly, "I just asked him for help. After all, the Sea God Cult has followers all over the North Sea. He is the Holy Son, so sending someone to pick me up shouldn't be too much trouble. That's all."

The old man breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Guixu Sect was powerful, it was obviously inferior to the Sea God Sect. Shangguan Wenyin was the Holy Son of the Sea God Sect, with a noble status. He was not someone they could kill or arrest at will.

If Shang Wenyan and Shangguan Wenyin have an affair, then this matter will be troublesome. Even if we tie Shang Wenyan up and force her to agree to become Daoist partners with the ancestor, what if Shangguan Wenyin comes to cause trouble and ask questions later?
Now that Shang Wenyan has denied having an affair, things are much easier to handle.

It's just a favor; I'll find a way to repay it later. It has nothing to do with my personal life.

"Alright, go back and tell the sect leader the same thing."

The old man did not continue to make things difficult for Shang Wenyan. After all, she had a special status. If she agreed, her status in the sect would skyrocket. If she could please the ancestor, who would dare to provoke her?

Now that I've offended her so badly, there's no guarantee she won't turn around and use the old ancestor to take revenge on me.

Shang Wenyan was now completely despondent. She knew that once she was taken back, she would lose her freedom forever, regardless of whether she agreed or not.

I underestimated things. The ancestor has his eye on me, so how could he let me escape so easily?
