The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2903 They are abusing their power for personal gain!

To find out about one's own past?

Lin Chen answered frankly: "Mu Tianjun once suppressed a star monster called Chizai. By chance, I entered this world and met Chizai in the abyss waters. I also unlocked the sword talisman left on the sword and then built a passage through the talisman. I met Mu Tianjun once."

"Mu Tianjun left me a sword talisman seal, allowing me to learn the way of sword talismans. He also said that I could come here to find him. This is the only time we've met. In fact, I'm not familiar with him at all; we've never even met before."

Unfamiliar?

Everyone knows that Mu Tianjun's sword and talisman techniques are extremely powerful, yet he actually passed them on to Lin Chen.
Although a single sword talisman seal cannot contain too much true knowledge of the sword talisman way, it still contains an element of skill transmission. In other words, wouldn't Lin Chen be Mu Tianjun's disciple?

Shi Ju, the head of the medical hall, opened her eyes wide and said in surprise, "Could it be that the hall master has taken a liking to you and wants to take you as his disciple?"

Lin Chen waved his hand and laughed, "I'm just an ordinary person. I got to where I am today entirely by luck. I'm just average in talent and don't have that kind of fortune. I guess the Palace Master just happened to see me undo the sword talisman and did it on a whim, like when you're walking down the street and see a beggar and casually throw him two coins..."

Everyone looked at him strangely. "Is it really appropriate for you to compare yourself to a beggar?"

But after Lin Chen explained it this way, everyone felt it made perfect sense.

Perhaps they felt that Lin Chen was a kindred spirit with some talent, so they casually gave Lin Chen a little benefit?
Apprentice?

How could a decision be made after just one meeting?

Mu Tianjun is not only powerful, but also of high status. It is no small matter for him to take on disciples, and he would never do so lightly.

Xiong Yaxiong thought for a moment and asked, "Sect Master came to the Crimson Immortal Realm directly to find your family. You haven't met with Mu Tianjun yet, have you?"

Lin Chen nodded: "I haven't had a chance yet. I'll find some time to see him later, and I also have some personal matters to take care of." Xiong Yaxiong's eyes lit up: "Then can I go to the War God's Mansion with the Sect Master?"

Lin Chen was taken aback. What did that mean?
Do you suspect I'm lying and want to prove it to yourselves?
Seeing Lin Chen's expression, Xiong Yaxiong knew that Lin Chen had probably misunderstood, so he quickly explained, "Sect Master, please don't misunderstand. I went to the War God's Mansion on official business. It's just that we didn't have a Sect Master before, which caused me to make several trips without getting things done. Now that the Sect Master is in place, and was personally appointed by the Palace Master, they have no reason to refuse anymore, right?"

Lin Chen smiled and asked, "What is it that you haven't been able to get done after several attempts?"

Xiong Yaxiong looked slightly embarrassed and lowered his voice, saying, "We belong to the Temple of War. We develop on our own in normal times, and the Temple of War provides us with some subsidies. But once war breaks out, the Temple of War will provide us with a large amount of resources to arm us and improve our combat effectiveness."

"Isn't the war between immortals and demons about to begin? Our Haoran Sect will definitely participate. However, the resources within our Haoran Sect's territory are not abundant, so we're struggling to make ends meet..."

When Xiong Yaxiong said this, not only he, but also the people around him looked somewhat embarrassed.

Xiong Yaxiong glanced at Lin Chen, who was still listening with a smile, without showing any dissatisfaction or disgust, and only then did he breathe a slight sigh of relief.

"On the battlefield, in addition to personal strength, various magical treasures and pills are also extremely important. Because our output is low, everyone is in short supply in this regard. So we applied to the War God Temple to provide the necessary supplies for our Haoran Sect."

Xiong Yaxiong smiled wryly and said, "There are many teams like ours in the War God Temple. They are all currently in a state of conscription. Everyone is making preparations for the war. Regardless of whether they have resources or not, they are all applying for things. After all, once on the battlefield, who would complain about having too many magic weapons or too many pills?"

"Although the Temple of War controls a lot of resources, they are not inexhaustible. Then they will review everyone's needs and then allocate them. We ran back and forth several times and finally got our application approved. But when we went to collect it, we were stopped again. They said that the resources were in short supply and asked us to wait."

“Every time I go, they say to wait a bit, that resources are tight, but many forces that applied later and had much better conditions than us have already received them, they just won’t give us any. As the head of the weapon refining hall, I’ve been there so many times, but I haven’t gotten anything at all…”

Hu Yunlai, the head of the alchemy hall, said angrily, "They're just abusing their power for personal gain! They give priority to those with connections, those with backgrounds, and those who give them benefits. They drag their feet on us. Not only have they not given us any of the magic weapons and refining materials we needed, but they've only given us half of the pills we needed after much pleading, and they still owe us the other half..."
