The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2908 Could this Sect Master Lin be a fake?

How could I run into someone I know here?
Lin Chen turned to look at Xiong Yaxiong and Hu Yunlai, only to see that their faces had darkened at the same time.

Xiong Yaxiong replied coldly, "Whether we come or not is none of your business."

The middle-aged man on the other end of the line laughed and said, "I just saw an acquaintance and said hello. Don't get angry. It's not me who's not giving you anything."

Xiong Yaxiong was speechless after being silenced by the other party's words, and retorted sullenly, "It's all because of you guys who don't follow the rules, otherwise, how could this situation have occurred?"

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "You're all trying to improve the combat power and survival rate of all your disciples. Who's any different? Everyone's just using their own methods. If you're not up to par, who can you blame?"

The middle-aged man glanced at Lin Chen, who was walking in front of Xiong Yaxiong, and asked in confusion, "Who is this? Is he also from your Haoran Sect? I've never seen him before."

Chi Ya introduced in a cold voice: "This is Lin Chen, the new sect leader of our Haoran Sect!"

"Hey, when did your Haoran Sect get a new sect leader?"

The middle-aged woman next to him exclaimed in surprise, glancing at Lin Chen twice: "Sect Leader Lin, you look so young!"

Xiong Yaxiong stepped forward to introduce them: "Sect Master, these are Zhou Ping, the Sect Master of Haohuo Sect, and two Hall Masters, Chen Ming and Wen Xiu. They are old acquaintances of ours, and used to be our rivals..."

Lin Chen nodded: "Sect Leader Zhou, hello!"

Zhou Ping looked at Lin Chen with curiosity: "Sect Leader Lin, which department did you belong to before?"

Lin Chen replied, "I just arrived in the Crimson Immortal Realm."

Before Zhou Cheng could ask, Chi Ya had already taken the initiative to introduce him: "The sect leader made great contributions in the fight against the demons in the Bitter Sea Immortal Realm. The palace master appointed him as the sect leader of our Haoran Sect."

How could there be demons in the Bitter Sea Immortal Realm?

Hall Master Chen Ming asked doubtfully, "You must have made a mistake, right?"

Chi Ya did not explain, but calmly said, "If you are interested, you can ask the Palace Master for confirmation."

Zhou Ping and the others naturally dared not. Although they were half-believing and half-doubting, they figured that the people of the Haoran Sect would not dare to lie or act recklessly. So they composed themselves and became more respectful. "Impressive! It seems that with Sect Master Lin coming in person this time, your sect will definitely be able to obtain the supplies."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "We have to give it a try. We can't let our disciples go to the battlefield empty-handed."

Zhou Ping cupped his hands in greeting: "Then you all go ahead with your work, we'll chat later when you have time."

Lin Chen nodded, cupped his hands in farewell, and entered the reception area.

Zhou Ping and the other two glanced at Lin Chen's retreating figure, then turned and left.

Hall Master Chen Ming said in a low voice, "Do you think what he said is true or false? How could there be demons in the Bitter Sea Immortal Realm? That's nonsense."

Zhou Ping frowned and said, "It does sound like a lie, but if we talk about it publicly and it gets exposed, won't that cause trouble? Besides, this sect leader appointment can't be fake, can it? They can't just put someone out there to impersonate the sect leader, can they?"

Hall Master Wen Xiu whispered, "Do you think this sect leader might be a fake, someone they've created to get supplies? After all, none of those guys are honest; they're capable of anything to achieve their goals."

Chen Ming agreed, "That's right. The Haoran Sect has no background and is being held hostage. They've created a sect leader appointed by a palace master. I doubt those people will bother to verify this with the sect leader. After all, it's their fault for holding others hostage. So why would they dare to make a big fuss?"

Zhou Ping rubbed his chin: "I can't tell how strong Lin Chen is, but his demeanor is extraordinary. He doesn't seem nervous or intimidated at all, so he doesn't seem fake..."

Chen Ming laughed and said, "Since you dare to come here, even if it's fake, you must make it look real. Otherwise, if someone exposes it and reports it, wouldn't you be trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead?"

Wen Xiu said with a smile, "The Haoran Sect is probably driven to desperation. Not only is it in a remote and impoverished area, but they are also not receiving supplies. With war about to break out, how can they not be panicked? When you have time, you can go to the supply depot. Those people are not easy to deal with, and a conflict is likely to break out."

Zhou Ping frowned: "We all think so, and the people in the First and Second Divisions will definitely think so too. If this is false, then things might get messy..."

Zhou Ping thought for a few seconds, then looked up and said, "Wen Xiu, send your disciples to keep an eye on them and see what they're doing. If they go to the quartermaster's office, then come back and let us know."

Wen Xiu asked happily, "Are we going to see a play?"

Zhou Ping rolled his eyes at Wen Xiu: "Although they are rivals, they are also comrades-in-arms. We can laugh at them all we want, but if they really take the risk, I still have to stop them and try to persuade them..."
