The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2604 You really know how to flatter yourself!
"boom!"

The entire mountain shattered into particles instantly under immense pressure. Master Zhen's silver hair flew wildly, and his aura was like that of a demon god descending to earth, completely suppressing Qiu Wushuang.

Qiu Wushuang felt as if he were carrying a towering mountain on his back, his bones creaking and his overwhelming aura rising continuously, yet he could only barely hold on and was unable to launch an effective counterattack.

With red eyes, Qiu Wushuang stared intently at Master Zhen in the sky. Ignoring her own safety, she turned around and struck down with her palm.

Lin Chen, who was already bound and unable to move, exploded instantly under the force of Hao Ran's palm, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

Distracted, Qiu Wushuang groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood. His body was slammed to the ground by the blow, and the remaining half of the mountain beneath his feet exploded.

Qiu Wushuang was in a sorry state, but she laughed wildly.

"You've gotten so much stronger, haha, but so what? I still killed that kid, right in front of you..."

Master Zhen's face was ashen as he stared at the pool of blood mist, his eyes filled with rage. He subconsciously glanced back at Shang Wenyan and Yue Chengtian in the distance.

Yue Chengtian was shocked: "Brother!"

Shang Wenyan, however, remained calm and composed, showing neither grief nor anger.

Master Zhen's gaze fell on Shang Wenyan's face. He was slightly taken aback, but then he understood what was going on, and the tense expression on his face suddenly relaxed a lot.

She was knowledgeable and experienced, and instantly realized that Lin Chen was not dead. Otherwise, why would Shang Wenyan not show any sadness?
Doppelgänger?

Rebirth from the ashes?

After thinking about it carefully, Master Zhen noticed something amiss.

Although Lin Chen was controlled by Qiu Wushuang from the moment he appeared and didn't say a word from beginning to end, upon careful reflection, I vaguely felt something was off when I was paying attention to Lin Chen, but I didn't notice it at the time. Now that I think about it, this guy seems to have become much weaker!

Lin Chen possessed the strength of a Great Luo Immortal, but when he was controlled by Qiu Wushuang, he was only at the initial stage of the Great Luo realm.

Doppelgänger!

This isn't an ordinary clone; it's a clone technique that only a very small number of demon beasts possess!
This kid has quite a few secrets. I only saw his sword-like bones and the strange seed near his heart before, but I didn't realize he had this skill. No wonder Lin Chen wasn't reluctant to deliver the message at all. Even when I told him there was danger, he didn't care and looked confident. So, he used a clone to deliver the message.

Judging from Qiu Wushuang's previous attitude, it was clear that Lin Chen's clone must have said something to her that greatly angered her. Otherwise, given her status, she wouldn't have poked the eyes of a messenger and broken his bones.
Eye?

Did you see something you shouldn't have?

Could it be that Lin Chen leered at Qiu Wushuang, looking her up and down, and angered her?
Otherwise, why would Qiu Wushuang be so determined to kill Lin Chen, even if it meant getting injured?
Thinking of this, Master Zhen suddenly became interested and smiled slightly: "A subordinate I just took in is dead, so what? Why are you so angry? Did he peep on you while you were bathing, or did he verbally insult you?"

Qiu Wushuang was stunned when she saw that Master Zhen was actually smiling.

She was willing to get injured to kill Lin Chen, partly because of Lin Chen's previous words to her, and partly because she wanted to slap Master Zhen in the face.

Didn't you want to save him?

I'll kill him, and see what you can do about it!
Go ahead and kill me if you dare!
However, Lin Chen is dead, and this Cave Master Zhen is actually laughing?

If you don't care about his life or death, why did you make such a big fuss just now? Were you doing it for him?
Qiu Wushuang was silent for a few seconds, then said coldly, "Even if you're old and ugly, you're still the same as before, you haven't changed at all. You don't care about anyone but yourself!"

Master Zhen laughed heartily: "The path of cultivation is destined to be a lonely one. What else is there to care about but oneself?"

After a pause, Master Zhen pressed on, "Tell me, what did he do to you that made you hate him so much and want to kill him?"

Qiu Wushuang sneered, "You really want to know?"

Master Zhen nodded: "That's right, what's wrong, you won't tell me?"

Qiu Wushuang suddenly smiled sweetly: "If you want to know, I'll tell you. He praised me for being beautiful and said he wasn't powerful enough. If he were powerful enough, he would take me back to be his wife and love me well. I said, 'You're with Zhen Liuxue, isn't she beautiful enough?' He said she's so old, the wrinkles on her face could kill someone, how could she be beautiful..."

Master Zhen listened with a smile, showing no anger at the last sentence.

Now that she knows Lin Chen's clone faked his death, she's certain Lin Chen wouldn't say that about her, so the first part must be true.
It's fake too!
Master Zhen pointed his chin at Shang Wenyan in the distance: "You can't even make up a coherent story. See her? His woman is many times prettier than you, and she likes you and wants to marry you. You really know how to flatter yourself. I bet he doesn't mean to marry you, but to take you back as a maid and serve him by washing his feet, washing his face, making his bed, and folding the blankets every day, right?"
