The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2931 You little rascal, you've got a thick skin!
Mu Tianjun's expression was strange as he looked at Lin Chen with a subtle gaze.

That kid's really something!

A domain lord, a quasi-saint—he can offend them without hesitation. Moreover, this kid probably has many tricks up his sleeve; the phrase "King Sidao thought he had killed me" already says a lot.

"So, you came to the Crimson Immortal Realm to seek refuge?"

Lin Chen said very sincerely, "Yes, I'm here to curry favor with the powerful. It all depends on whether the Palace Master is willing to protect me."

Mu Tianjun asked, "What if I protect you, and what if I don't?"

Lin Chen answered honestly, "If the Palace Master protects me, then I will be the Sect Master of Haoran Sect with peace of mind, obey the orders of the War God Palace, and participate in this war between immortals and demons. If the Palace Master is unwilling to protect me and my life is in danger, then I will definitely run away, after all, my life is more important."

Mu Tianjun laughed and said, "Where are you going? To Mount Taixu to find Master Taixu?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Not necessarily. The Immortal Realm is so vast that there is nowhere I cannot go. After all, I am just a nobody. Although I have offended those big shots, they would not risk everything to hunt me down for such a small matter. As long as I stay away and don't get in their way, I will be fine."

Mu Tianjun laughed heartily: "Since you've put it that way, how could I not protect you? As long as you're a member of my War God's Mansion, no one can bully you. If anyone from the War God's Mansion bullies you, as long as you're in the right, we won't discuss how to handle it, but we certainly won't let you suffer any injustice. Is that alright?"

Lin Chen stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Thank you, Palace Master. With your words, I can finally rest easy."

Mu Tianjun stared at Lin Chen: "Although your strength is not that great, it is clear from your experiences that you are a person with good fortune. I hope that you can carry this fortune and make amazing achievements on the battlefield between immortals and demons, just like the contributions you made in the Bitter Sea Immortal Realm."

Lin Chen nodded: "Since I'm staying, I'll be a soldier of the War God's Mansion. I'll do whatever the military orders tell me to do. I've heard that if you make military merits, you can enter the Spirit Ascension Array to cultivate. I also hope to make more military merits and improve my strength so that I won't always be bullied."

Mu Tianjun smiled and said, "Alright, just focus on being a good squad leader. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Lin Chen quickly asked, "There's another personal matter... Where is Crimson Calamity now?"

Mu Tianjun looked at Lin Chen: "What do you want with him? To catch up with an old friend?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Although I've been traveling with Senior Crimson Calamity for half a year, I wouldn't dare call him a friend. I just wanted to ask him about some things, about the Starry Sky Beasts..."

Mu Tianjun nodded and didn't ask any more questions: "He's helping out on the western front, in the Sixth Army Corps. You can go to the Sixth Army Corps' headquarters to find him."

Lin Chen learned of Chi Zai's whereabouts and breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking for a moment and realizing there was nothing else, he took his leave: "I have no further questions. Palace Master is very busy, so I won't take up any more of your time. Farewell!" Mu Tianjun looked at Lin Chen: "Preparing to return to the Haoran Sect?"

Lin Chen told the truth: "I will go to see Senior Chizai first, and then return to Haoran Sect to cultivate in seclusion and strive to improve, so that I won't be killed instantly by anyone I meet on the battlefield in the future."

Mu Tianjun waved his hand: "Alright, go ahead and cultivate diligently. I look forward to hearing good news from you on the battlefield again."

"Yes!"

Lin Chen stopped talking and walked out of the pavilion in the middle of the lake. However, after taking only a few steps, he stopped and stared intently at the myriad lotus flowers in the middle of the lake.

Mu Tianjun's voice came from the pavilion, tinged with amusement and helplessness: "You've taken a fancy to my Myriad Immortal Lotus?"

Lin Chen turned around and said with an innocent look, "Palace Master, please forgive me. I've heard of the King of Lotuses, the Myriad Immortal Lotus, before, but this is the first time I've seen one, especially one that has already produced lotus seeds. I've heard that these lotus seeds have miraculous effects on breaking through cultivation realms, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances..."

"You little rascal, you've got a thick skin!"

Mu Tianjun chuckled and scolded, then said, "Considering your great contribution, I'll give you one. But I must remind you, the Myriad Immortal Lotus is only effective the first time someone takes it, so you'd better think carefully about when you want to use it."

Lin Chen smiled and cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you, senior. I will definitely cultivate diligently and kill more demons to repay the Palace Master's kindness."

A mature lotus seed of the Myriad Immortal Lotus flew out from the center of the lake and hovered in front of Lin Chen.

"Take it and get out!"

"Got it!"

Lin Chen happily put away the lotus seeds of the Myriad Immortal Lotus and left cleanly. Even when he passed by the Divine Consort Bamboo, Lin Chen did not stop. After all, he did not lack cultivation resources, but he lacked rare items that could help him break through to a higher realm.

As Lin Chen stepped out of the garden gate, the guards waiting there gave him a subtle look.

I originally thought it would be a simple inquiry that wouldn't take long, but Lin Chen stayed inside for quite a while. Such a long private conversation suggests that Lin Chen is highly valued!
