The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2831 Acting
The refining process lasted for about half a day, and then it gradually got dark.

When a clear bell rang, all the refiners breathed a sigh of relief and stopped their refining actions.

"Ugh, I'm exhausted. I can finally rest."

"Yes, I've been training all day long, and my bones are aching."

"Almost there, the altar is almost complete, and our mission is almost over. Once the altar's teleportation array is activated, we'll have accomplished a great feat, and everyone will have made a significant contribution and receive a hefty reward, hehe..."

"Come on, let's have a drink. A little alcohol will help us sleep better."

"go!"

The weapon refiners chatted casually as they walked out in twos and threes.

As Lin Chen was pondering his next move, the weapon refiner in front of him turned around and called out, "Mo Ze, wanna come along?"

Lin Chen was worried about where to go, so he nodded without hesitation.

Lin Chen remained silent. Although he could speak in a low voice, it was still easy for others to notice his unease.

The weapon refiner saw Lin Chen nod, so he didn't pay any attention and got up to walk outside.

Lin Chen followed closely behind, remaining silent.

The two left the tent and came to a huge building in the center of the camp, which resembled a dining hall or tavern. There were many large tables around which sat many people in black robes, some drinking, some playing something like playing cards, making a lot of noise from time to time.

Lin Chen quickly scanned the area and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although these people are all quite strong, they look no different from ordinary people.

After a long day of work, relax at a pub with a few close friends, have a few drinks and play cards to unwind after a long day, then get a good night's sleep to prepare for another long day.

The fact that so many powerful immortals, even Great Luo Immortals, could hide in the Red River Mountains, establish a misty world, build altars, and carry out some kind of teleportation suggests that the forces behind these people are not simple.

The most important thing now is to figure out two things: first, what their origins are, and second, what their purpose is in building the altar for teleportation.

Lin Chen was curious, but then again, he wasn't that curious.

To the Bitter Sea Immortal Realm, he was just a passerby. He came to the Red River Mountains only to find the Leaping Beast, and other matters had nothing to do with him. Therefore, he didn't necessarily need to understand what was going on here.

All he needs to do is obtain the Sky Leap Beast's horn and leave safely to achieve his goal.

Several weapon refiners sat at a table, and someone brought out fine wine and food, and they began to drink.

The black robe and hooded magic is very effective at concealing one's face. Even when drinking or eating, it can completely cover one's face. The downside is that Lin Chen cannot see these people, but the upside is that these people cannot see Lin Chen either.

The weapon refiners began to chat idly. Lin Chen, holding his wine glass, remained silent and listened attentively. He tried to deduce their origins and purposes from their conversation, but after listening for a while, he only heard about one weapon refiner's love history and another's failed unrequited love.

It seems that no matter where you go, what your identity, strength, or status is, a man is always a man, and there is no difference.

Just as Lin Chen was considering whether to take the initiative to steer the conversation, the weapon refiner who had been in front of him suddenly turned around and asked with a hint of doubt, "You're usually quite talkative, why are you so quiet today?"

Lin Chen's heart jumped. He sighed deeply, waved his hand casually, and then picked up his wine glass and took a big gulp.

Lin Chen didn't say a word, but he made it incredibly clear that "I'm annoyed and don't want to talk, you guys chat."

A weapon refiner across from them chuckled, "What's wrong? Hearing us talking about women, are you thinking about your beautiful widow again?"

Since someone had offered a way out, Lin Chen naturally accepted it and nodded.

The weapon refiner laughed and said, "Although she is a widow, she is the general's sister. She has a noble status and is so beautiful. She has many suitors. It won't be so easy for you to win her heart."

The weapon refiner who was paired with Lin Chen comforted him, saying, "You are so young yet you possess such strength, which makes you a true prodigy. However, you don't have a strong background, so you can't compare to those second-generation disciples."

“Our clan values ​​military merit the most. If you make a contribution this time and are thus granted a title, coupled with your potential, you may still have a chance.”

Everyone's attention was on Lin Chen. If Lin Chen spoke at this moment, he would be easily discovered, since these people were all very familiar with each other.

Lin Chen sighed, stood up under everyone's gaze, picked up his wine glass, drank the wine in it in one gulp, put down the glass, pointed outside, and then naturally started walking outside.

Upon seeing this, everyone exchanged glances and burst into laughter.

"Moze has been provoked."

"Young man, you still can't see through things, you're not calm enough."

"Do you think everyone is like you, treating women like playthings?"

"Never mind him, let's drink!"

The other weapon refiners didn't think much of it and continued chatting amongst themselves. Even the weapon refiners who were paired with Lin Chen didn't give it much thought.

Lin Chen walked out of the main house and looked at the altar in the twilight.

We can't dawdle any longer.

We need to get started.
