The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2751 Did she figure it out?
The banquet was very grand, but Lin Chen remained silent.

The group of people at the table were having a lively conversation, with Lan Qiangwei naturally being the central figure. After all, her beauty and status were extraordinary, making her destined to be sought after.

Lin Chen focused on eating and drinking, his expression natural.

Sect Leader Cui Wenxuan had already been toasting at each table, stopping briefly at each one to chat with everyone and have a drink.

Half an hour later, Cui Wenxuan arrived at Lin Chen's table. He glanced around and his eyes landed on Lan Qiangwei's face. He smiled and said, "Fairy Lan's visit to my Juxian Island is an honor for Juxian Island."

Blue Rose bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Sect Leader Cui!"

Cui Wenxuan smiled and said, "I have met Sect Leader Zhao a few times and had a very pleasant chat. How is he?"

Blue Rose smiled and said, "The Sect Master is well and asked me to send her regards to the Senior!"

"Okay, we'll talk about it in detail later."

Cui Wenxuan glanced at the others and smiled, "Introduce these heroes to me?"

The maids standing behind the group introduced the names and backgrounds of the people they served. Cui Wenxuan smiled and nodded to each of them, sometimes even saying a few words. He was unhurried and showed the full demeanor of a hospitable host.

"Lin Xi, a rogue cultivator."

Cui Wenxuan nodded at Lin Chen without saying a word, clearly indicating that a rogue cultivator was not worth his special attention.

"Come on, let me toast everyone!"

After having a drink, Cui Wenxuan went to the next table. The whole process was polite and uneventful.

Lin Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As the island master of Juxian Island, Cui Wenxuan must be extremely powerful. Lin Chen was worried that he would see through his secrets. Fortunately, probing cultivators with divine sense is a provocative and impolite act. As the host, Cui Wenxuan would naturally not go around checking on his guests.

After the banquet, Lin Chen and Guan Xia returned to their residence.

"The banquet has ended, and the host has arrived. Is the Gathering of Immortals about to conclude?"

Guan Xia replied, "If the guests have no requests, the Gathering of Immortals is almost over. But those who come here always have some needs or ideas. Young master, if you have any needs, you can tell me, and I will arrange a meeting for you."

Lin Chen readily nodded: "I want a top-grade metal-attribute cultivation technique."

Lin Chen had inquired about cultivation techniques before, so Guan Xia wasn't surprised at all. She simply reminded him, "There are definitely top-grade cultivation techniques for the metal element, but top-grade techniques are extremely valuable, and the price you have to pay for them is also extremely high..."

Lin Chen nodded: "I was prepared."

Guan Xia readily agreed, "Yes, young master, I'll arrange it for you right away!"

Guan Xia quickly sent a message, and soon after, a golden light flew over and hovered in front of her. Guan Xia read the message, looked up, and said, "The sect leader will personally receive you later."

Lin Chen's eyes widened in surprise. "Aren't there dedicated negotiators? Why do we need to see the sect leader?"

Guan Xia replied, "Because the top-grade metal-attribute cultivation technique you applied for is extremely important to Juxian Island, only the sect leader can make the decision, so naturally only the sect leader can personally receive you."

Lin Chen touched his nose, his expression slightly hesitant: "Meeting the sect leader, I'm just a rogue cultivator with no background, I'm a little nervous."

Guan Xia smiled and said, "Don't worry, young master, you are a guest. All guests on the island are treated equally. If we can reach an agreement, we will sign a contract. If we can't, we won't sign. There will be no coercion whatsoever."

"it is good!"

After waiting for half a day, Lin Chen was still reading in his room when a knocking sound suddenly rang out.

"Young Master, the Sect Master has arrived."

Lin Chen felt a slight chill, put away the book, and walked out of the room.

He originally thought he would be taken somewhere to see Cui Wenxuan, but unexpectedly Cui Wenxuan came to his door on his own.

In the living room, Cui Wenxuan sat upright in a chair, followed by two people, his expression calm.

Lin Chen entered the living room and bowed respectfully, saying, "Junior Lin Xi greets Sect Leader Cui!"

Cui Wenxuan raised his eyes and smiled slightly: "You want a top-grade metal-attribute cultivation technique?"

Cui Wenxuan cut to the chase, and Lin Chen readily nodded: "Yes, I wonder what price I will have to pay?"

Cui Wenxuan laughed and asked, "What realm are you at?"

Lin Chen replied, "Carp Dragon Realm."

Once you start fighting, it's hard to hide your true strength from others. Besides, hiding your strength will only make your opponent underestimate your value, and there might not even be room for negotiation.

Guan Xia, standing by the door, suddenly brightened up, seemingly in disbelief.

This rogue cultivator, who claims to have obtained the Immortal Gathering Token by luck, actually possesses the strength of the Carp Dragon Realm.

At such a young age, to reach the Carp Dragon Realm, they are all geniuses, and are basically the key targets for cultivation by the younger generation of major sects, such as Lan Qiangwei, Zuo Dongxu, and Gumaduo.

I've been with him for so long, how come I never realized how amazing he was?
Did Lan Qiangwei's initiative in offering to take him into the Li Hai Sect reveal something?
