The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2846 Not a moment too early, not a moment too late, fate was just right!
Why are you staring at me like that, as if I have an extra eye, or that I have flowers growing on my face...?

Gong Jianying laughed and said, "How many adventures have you experienced along the way? Others would find it difficult to even get one stinger from a demonic crystal scorpion, but you got more than a thousand with just a wave of your hand. It's infuriating to compare yourself to others."

Lin Chen chuckled and spread his hands, looking helpless: "I was just lucky. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to run into Master Taixu while searching for the Yin-Yang Spring, and then receive Master Taixu's protection because of the Yin-Yang Water-Fire Mirror. In the end, when I was being bullied by the Sea God, it was Master Taixu who saved my life..."

Gong Jianying looked thoughtful: "What Senior Su said earlier was right. You are a person with good fortune. This is all due to divine affinity!"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "That's true. If I hadn't obtained the Yin-Yang Water-Fire Mirror and used the spiritual power contained within it to enter the Dao through martial arts and reach the Golden Core stage, I probably wouldn't have been able to enter the Wilderness and embark on the path of cultivation. In a way, the Yin-Yang Water-Fire Mirror was truly the beginning of everything."

"By the way, speaking of the Yin-Yang Water and Fire Mirror, do you have any clue about how to use it?"

Gong Jianying shook his head and said, "No, although my master and the owner of the Yin-Yang Water and Fire Mirror are good friends, the method of controlling such a unique magic weapon is a secret that is absolutely impossible to tell others."

"That senior also disappeared suddenly back then, vanished without a trace. No one knew where he went or what happened to him. It was only later that we learned he was dead, and we didn't even know where he died. The Yin-Yang Water and Fire Mirror also disappeared without a trace."

"That's why Master valued you so much when you appeared with the Yin-Yang Water and Fire Mirror. He originally thought you were his successor or someone related to him, but it turns out you are just a person with a predestined connection and have never met him."

Lin Chen nodded, but he was thinking to himself.

The Water and Fire Taoist who fled into the mortal world with the Yin-Yang Water and Fire Mirror and eventually died there was clearly not the true owner of the Yin-Yang Water and Fire Mirror. Otherwise, with his strength, how could he have died silently in the mortal world?

To recap the legends surrounding the Water and Fire Daoist, this man was a renowned powerhouse in the Wilderness Realm. He obtained the Water and Fire Mirror, making him invincible in both water and fire, and thus roamed the world. In the end, he encountered misfortune and was hunted down. To escape, he entered the mortal realm, where he eventually died.

Thinking about it this way, regardless of whether the owner of the Yin-Yang Water and Fire Mirror died in the Wilderness Realm, the Yin-Yang Water and Fire Mirror was left behind in the Wilderness Realm by chance, and it was also broken. The fragments formed a strange scene of ice and fire. The mirror fell into the hands of a Taoist, and it was because of the mirror that he later got the nickname Water and Fire Taoist.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen asked, "The Yin-Yang Water and Fire Mirror is from the desolate realm I experienced before. Did its owner die here?"

Gong Jianying laughed, "Master already investigated, using secret methods to search, but there's no trace of him in the entire Wilderness Realm or even the Thunder Immortal Domain." Lin Chen's eyes widened in surprise, and he asked, "You've already investigated, Master?"

Gong Jianying said with a smile, "Since you have explained the process of obtaining the Yin-Yang Water-Fire Mirror and the location, he will definitely go to look for it. If he can find that senior's corpse, he will most likely find the method to control the Yin-Yang Water-Fire Mirror."

"Master traversed the void at great speed, so his journey there and back didn't take much time, yet he gained nothing..."

Lin Chen's eyes widened: "Even the Thunder Immortal Realm isn't there, so who brought it there?"

"Probably not."

Gong Jianying explained, "Master speculated that its owner might have encountered danger and was escaping by traversing space in some way. Then, it may have encountered some unforeseen events. Its owner did not want it to fall into the hands of others, so it was pushed out of the spatial passage, and the landing point happened to be the Wilderness Realm."

"Although the Desolate Realm was cut off from the path to heaven for tens of thousands of years, immortals who can traverse space can still freely travel to the Desolate Realm, whether through their own supernatural powers or by using treasures. This is the essence of my master's exploration of the myriad worlds of the immortal realm."

After listening to Gong Jianying's explanation, Lin Chen suddenly understood: "In other words, its landing in the Wilderness Realm was just a random event, and that Water and Fire Daoist, and even myself later, were the people destined for this random event, or rather, the beneficiaries..."

Gong Jianying smiled and said, "Yes, this is what we often call luck and destiny. In the vast world, it falls on the desolate world at the perfect time, not a moment too early or too late. Of all living beings, you are the one who encounters it and obtains it. If we talk about fate, this is called destiny."

Lin Chen thought about the probability of this incident and couldn't help but feel a little sad.

I really can be considered a chosen one.

Because besides the Yin-Yang Water-Fire Mirror, there is also the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, which is in the same situation. Of all the worlds, it happened to seek refuge here for tens of thousands of years, and then it was encountered by itself.

If this isn't fate, then what is it?
