The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2909 The status of a meritorious official is still somewhat useful!

"Sect Master, what do we do next?"

Lin Chen already had a plan in mind, and said with a smile, "I'll go pay a visit to the Palace Master first."

"Yes!"

Chi Ya said respectfully, "Sect Master is not familiar with this place, so I will lead the way for you."

Lin Chen smiled politely and said, "Thank you for your help."

Lin Chen decided to visit Mu Tianjun first for a reason. After meeting Mu Tianjun and knowing his attitude towards him, Lin Chen could better decide what to do next and how to handle things.

Although Lin Chen has a Quasi-Saint by his side, this is the Crimson Immortal Realm, the front-line battlefield. There should be quite a few Quasi-Saints here, and many of them are powerful figures. It is obviously unrealistic to think that he can run rampant without any scruples just because of Zhen Liuxue. But if Mu Tianjun is protecting him, then he can really walk sideways.

Mu Tianjun's residence is called the War God Pavilion. It is his private residence during normal times, but it will be used as a battlefield command center during wartime.

"Stop!"

Lin Chen and Chi Ya were stopped by guards as soon as they arrived outside the War God Pavilion.

Chi Ya cupped her hands and said, "Sect Master Lin Chen of the Haoran Sect and Hall Master Chi Ya of the Law Enforcement Hall request an audience with the Hall Master."

The guard frowned, scrutinizing the two men: "Have you been summoned by the Palace Master?"

Chi Ya shook her head: "No."

The guard asked again, "Is there any urgent military situation?"

Chi Ya looked slightly embarrassed: "No."

The guard said coldly, "Since it is neither a summons from the Palace Master nor an urgent military matter, the Palace Master is busy with countless affairs and official duties. How can you just see him whenever you want? If you insist on seeing him, you can go to the front to register, explain your purpose, and then wait. If the Palace Master agrees to see you, he will send someone to inform you."

Chi Ya looked at Lin Chen with a troubled expression, waiting for his decision.

The guards weren't deliberately making things difficult; they were just following the rules. Otherwise, there would be a long queue of people just visiting Mu Tianjun, leaving no time to deal with other matters.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I have met the Palace Master once before. He taught me the way of sword talismans and told me to come to the War God's Mansion to see him when I arrived in the Crimson Immortal Realm. I am here now as promised, so please inform him on my behalf."

The guard looked at Lin Chen with suspicion: "Aren't you the Sect Master of the Haoran Sect?"

Lin Chen explained, "When I first arrived in the Crimson Immortal Realm, I went to the Haoran Sect to find my family. However, I learned that I had been personally appointed as the sect master of the Haoran Sect by the Palace Master. I have come here today to fulfill my previous promise and to fulfill this appointment."

"Personally appointed?"

The guard seemed to suddenly remember something, and his eyes widened: "Aren't you the one who made a contribution when the demons attacked the Bitter Sea Immortal Realm?" Lin Chen nodded: "Yes."

The guard's icy expression vanished instantly, replaced by a warm smile: "So it's you, Sect Master Lin. Since it's you, announcing your arrival is no problem. But you've come at an inopportune time; the Palace Master is out on business and not here right now!"

Lin Chen was taken aback: "When will the Palace Master be able to return?"

The guard shook his head and said, "We are just guards of the War God Pavilion, only responsible for protecting the safety of the War God Pavilion. We don't know the whereabouts of the Palace Master. We only know that the Palace Master has been gone for three days and has not returned yet. I don't know where he went or when he will return."

Lin Chen was immediately disappointed: "Alright, then I'll take my leave."

The guard asked, "Sect Leader Lin, where are you staying right now? At the reception station?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes."

The guard said enthusiastically, "Why don't you go back first and wait a while until the Palace Master returns? I will report this matter to him as soon as possible. If the Palace Master summons you, he will send someone to the reception station to find you. If he doesn't see you, I will also have someone tell you the result."

Lin Chen said gratefully, "Okay, thank you."

The guard laughed and said, "You're welcome. It's just what I should do."

You weren't this enthusiastic just now; it seems your identity as a "hero in the fight against the demons" has played a role.

Lin Chen thanked her again and then left with Chi Ya.

At the far end of the street, a disciple watched this scene from afar, chuckled coldly twice, and then quickly disappeared into the crowd.

"Sect Master, what should we do now?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "The Palace Master isn't here, so we'll just have to wait."

After a pause, Lin Chen asked, "Now that the war between immortals and demons is about to begin, there must be quite a few quasi-saints coming to help, right? Do you know where these quasi-saints from other immortal realms live?"

Chi Ya didn't know why Lin Chen asked this, but she quickly replied, "They don't live in the city, but in White God Mountain."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "White God Mountain, where is that?"

Chi Ya explained, "These people are powerful and hold high positions. They usually don't like living in this bustling city, so the Palace Master had cave dwellings built on White God Mountain, three hundred miles away, to provide for these powerful people who prefer tranquility."

“Three hundred miles is not a long distance for these powerful individuals. If there is trouble on the front lines, they can arrive in an instant without delaying their battle. When there is no fighting, they can enjoy peace and quiet while residing on White God Mountain, undisturbed…”
