The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2601 If you want to kill me, then do it!
The Demon Dragon City token in Lin Chen's hand was naturally one of the spoils of the previous battle. Its owner was a powerful figure from Demon Dragon City, whose identity was unknown.

The term "secret envoy" can cover up all identities and will never give anything away.

Lin Chen had even considered impersonating a secret envoy of the Myriad Immortals Palace, which would have given him a higher profile and made it easier to meet Qiu Wushuang. However, after thinking about it, he figured that someone would verify his identity before the city lord, and he couldn't even produce a Myriad Immortals Palace disciple token, which would expose him.
The Twelve Immortal Sects are powerful and influential, and their sect leaders are even called Immortal Kings. How could just anyone want to meet them?
Under normal circumstances, sect affairs are handled by different responsible persons. Only extremely important matters are reported to the sect leader through the various levels. To see the sect leader directly, one must either have a special status or the matter must be extremely important.

The arrogant attitude of the gatekeeper disciple instantly subsided somewhat, after all, Demon Dragon City was also one of the Twelve Immortal Sects, no weaker than Ice and Snow City.

How could these guards compare to the secret envoys of Demon Dragon City?
After confirming that the Dragon City token was genuine, the guard quickly went to report, and soon a middle-aged man hurried over.

"Fellow Daoist from Demon Dragon City, greetings. I am Zhao Xiang, the steward of the outer sect of Ice and Snow City. May I ask what brings you here today?"

Lin Chen glanced at Zhao Xiang with indifferent eyes and said calmly, "The city lord has a secret order that I need to meet with City Lord Qiu in person."

Zhao Xiang paused for a moment, then said with a troubled expression, "The city lord is in seclusion, and various affairs within the city are handled by different people..."

Lin Chen slowly shook his head: "The city lord has ordered that this secret order can only be seen by City Lord Qiu, and no one else can see it."

Zhao Xiang frowned and said, "But the city lord gave instructions before he went into seclusion that we must not disturb him..."

Lin Chen looked coldly at Zhao Xiang: "The city lord said that this matter concerns the life and death of Ice and Snow City. Steward Zhao, if you are sure that City Lord Qiu will not see me, then I don't need to come in."

Zhao Xiang's expression changed slightly; was this a matter of life and death for Ice and Snow City?

This is not a decision that an outer sect manager can make on his own. If his obstruction causes the information to not be delivered in time and ultimately leads to a disaster, he cannot bear the blame.

"Fellow Daoist, please come in. I will go and report on your behalf."

He can't take the blame, so let's find someone taller.

Lin Chen nodded silently and followed Zhao Xiang into the Ice and Snow City. Soon, he was led to a luxurious hall.

A maid served Snow Lotus Tea, a specialty of Ice and Snow City, with Zhao Xiang accompanying her. Soon after, Yuan Qiuhong, the deputy city lord of Ice and Snow City, appeared in the hall.

After the introductions, Yuan Qiuhong asked, "While the City Lord is in seclusion, I will be in charge of all affairs of Ice and Snow City. May I have this secret order?"

As the deputy city lord, Yuan Qiuhong was a top-tier figure, one of the most powerful individuals in the entire Myriad Gods Immortal Realm. However, Lin Chen showed her no respect whatsoever, firmly shaking his head: "The secret order can only be given to City Lord Qiu!"

Yuan Qiuhong frowned. Lin Chen's blunt words made her feel embarrassed, but she was helpless.

"Please wait a moment, envoy, I will personally go and invite the sect leader." The envoy represented the city lord of Demon Dragon City, and the deputy city lord, Yuan Qiuhong, could only be polite.

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he should be able to see Qiu Wushuang.

It's just unknown what Master Zhen's jade slip said. The danger she mentioned probably wasn't directed at Qiu Wushuang, but rather at Qiu Wushuang's reaction after reading the jade slip.

Not long after, a beautiful woman in palace attire entered the hall, followed by Yuan Qiuhong. Clearly, this woman in palace attire was Qiu Wushuang, the city lord of Ice and Snow City.

Qiu Wushuang sat down in the city lord's seat, her eyes scanning Lin Chen up and down: "You're not from Xiyu?"

Lin Chen nodded calmly: "Yes, Lord Qiu?"

Qiu Wushuang was tall and voluptuous with an oval face and phoenix eyes that revealed sharpness and domineering aura. Just sitting there, her superior presence was overwhelming, giving people the feeling that "such a person should be high above others".

Qiu Wushuang asked, "Where is the secret order?"

Without wasting any words, Lin Chen took out a jade slip, which floated up and flew towards Qiu Wushuang.

Qiu Wushuang let the jade slip float in front of him, then scanned it with his divine sense, and his expression changed drastically.

From calm to anger, from anger to ashen-faced, her emotional fluctuations were accompanied by an overwhelming aura.

Qiu Wu's eyes were icy cold as he stared intently at Lin Chen: "How dare you!"

Lin Chen remained calm, smiled slightly, and stood up: "I've always been quite bold. Lord Qiu, the letter has been delivered, so I'll take my leave now."

Qiu Wushuang said coldly, "Now that you're here, you think you can just leave? What do you take this place for?"

Seeing this, Lin Chen sat down again: "Since the city lord won't let me leave, I'll sit a little longer. The tea in Ice and Snow City is quite good. Would you like another cup?"

Qiu Wu's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "How dare you! Do you think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"

Lin Chen picked up his tea, took a sip with relish, and laughed, "I'm just a nobody delivering a message, while you're the high and mighty Lord of Ice and Snow City. What's there to be afraid of? If you want to kill me, then do it!"
