The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2662 Are you threatening me?
"Lord Gu, is this... all there is to it?"

Gu Qinghai deftly sheathed his sword, casually thrusting it to his side. The sword disappeared into the void, inch by inch.

"Yeah, it's over."

Lin Chen was filled with doubt and surprise; this was too exaggerated.

It's a project that costs 1 billion spirit stones, and you just casually waved your hand like that, instantly giving people the illusion that "I could do it too."

This is like having a terminal illness, seeking medical help everywhere to no avail, spending all your savings to scrape together a huge sum of money, finally finding a doctor, only for that doctor to casually stick two needles into you and then tell you that you're cured.

Those who know you will praise your skills, but those who don't might think you're a fraudster.

Lin Chen's gaze fell on the Dark Ancestral Dragon: "Senior, how do you feel?"

The Dark Ancestral Dragon stretched its body, its enormous dragon eyes filled with excitement.

"I can't feel his presence anymore, the bond has been severed, I'm free, haha!"

It actually worked!

The cost is high, but it's worth it.

It's a cure-all!
Lin Chen cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, senior. I am deeply grateful."

Gu Qinghai stared at Lin Chen, his tone calm: "If you've paid enough, I'll naturally fulfill your request. It's a deal, no need to thank me."

Lin Chen said no more and took his leave: "Then I won't disturb the city lord any longer, farewell!"

"and many more!"

Lin Chen stopped, his expression slightly puzzled: "Is there anything else, City Lord?"

Gu Qinghai said calmly, "Do you know Lin Chen, a disciple of Fuyunzi of the Longshan Sect?"

Lin Chen's eyelids twitched suddenly, and the hairs on his vest stood up.

Oops!

problem occurs!
Lin Chen asked with a puzzled look, "Dragon Mountain Sect? Is it the Dragon Mountain Sect of Donghuang? I don't know it. Why does the city lord ask such a question?"

Gu Qinghai asked casually, "Then let me ask you another question. You know where Zhen Liuxue is, right?"

Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a chill run down his spine.

They came prepared!
Holding onto a sliver of hope, Lin Chen continued to feign ignorance: "Zhen Liuxue, who is that? I've never heard of her."

Gu Qinghai calmly said, "This isn't your original appearance, is it? Zhen Liuxue was rescued by the Thief Saint, and you've been in contact with him. It's reasonable that you possess the Hundred Transformations Pendant, which is most favored by the Shenkong Sect members. What, do you want me to capture you and use the Soul Searching Technique before you'll tell me?" Lin Chen was speechless. This was too far-fetched.

With just a few clues, they were able to figure out the whole truth.

Event 1: He revealed his true form in the City of Netherfire and asked the God of Burning Sword to help sever his ties. At this time, he did not reveal his identity.

Incident 2: On the airship, the people from Demon Dragon City were searching for Zhen Liuxue. When they saw Shang Wenyan, they tried to frame her and others and forcibly arrested her. She had no choice but to reveal her identity and said that she had come from Demon Dragon City and had even registered there, so there was a traceable record.

Incident 3: Zhen Liuxue killed the search team members and left with him. They stayed together from then on and took action against the Wanxian Palace everywhere.

Event 4: The Thief Saint rescued Zhen Liuxue, but "died" at the hands of the Sidao King.

Event 5: With a different appearance, he once again went to apply to sever the ties for the Dark Ancestral Dragon.

The act of severing the ties between the good and evil aspects of a dragon was highly unique and ultimately led to his exposure.

It seems they've been watching this place for a while, just waiting for us to walk right into their trap.

Since things had come to this point, Lin Chen was too lazy to pretend anymore. With a thought, he reverted to his original appearance.

"The Thief Master also said that this thing is not something that ordinary people can see through, but it seems that this thing is not as powerful as he said."

Gu Qinghai looked at Lin Chen, his eyes showing a hint of surprise: "Lin Chen?"

Lin Chen sighed: "It's me, Lord Gu. I want to ask, who gave you permission to squat here and guard me? Demon Dragon City, or the Hall of Ten Thousand Immortals?"

Gu Qinghai frowned and said, "Weren't you supposed to be wiped out by the Palace Master with a wave of his hand? How come you're still alive?"

Lin Chen chuckled: "The Palace Master is very powerful, but he is still just a person, not an all-knowing and all-powerful god. It doesn't seem like a big deal if I lie to him once."

Gu Qinghai said coldly, "Rebirth of flesh and blood, or perhaps, a clone?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "City Lord, since you've already helped sever his ties, why don't we just pretend we've never met and never see each other again, and go our separate ways?"

Gu Qinghai sneered: "On what grounds?"

Lin Chen laughed heartily: "First, you can't kill me, or rather, even if you did, it wouldn't make a difference. Second, besides Zhen Liuxue, don't forget, I also have a Thief Saint by my side. He loves stealing things the most. When he saved Zhen Liuxue before, he didn't forget to steal Pang Yuanzhen's Devouring Heaven Altar from Lingxiao Sect, which made Pang Yuanzhen furious but helpless. Your Burning God Sword looks pretty good to me too. I think he'll be very interested..."

Gu Qinghai sized up Lin Chen, frowning as he asked, "A clone?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Since there is danger in coming to see you, why would I take the risk myself? If you kill me, you will gain nothing and offend me, making an enemy out of nothing. It's completely unnecessary, isn't it?"

Gu Qinghai said coldly, "Offend you? Are you threatening me?"
