The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2996 My wife is half a step into a quasi-saint?
"Lin Chen!"

Shangguan Wenyin's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

The blue water ripples around Chu Jiaxue suddenly trembled violently, but she remained silent. After all, there were many disciples of the Sea God Sect around, and her identity was quite sensitive.

Lin Chen stepped over and said with a smile, "I was on my day off and was just about to return to the War God's Mansion when I saw the fleet of the Myriad Gods Immortal Realm, so I came over to see if I knew anyone."

Shangguan Wenyin was overjoyed. He patted Lin Chen's arm and his gaze fell on the badge on Lin Chen's chest: "You're serving in the War God's Palace now?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, I just came down from the battlefield."

After a pause, Lin Chen reached out and punched Shangguan Wenyin in the chest: "With people coming and going, let's settle them first, then we can talk in detail."

Shangguan Wenyin glanced at Chu Jiaxue, who was standing quietly beside him, and nodded, saying, "Alright!"

Lin Chen didn't reveal anything, only glancing at Chu Jiaxue before looking away.

Anyway, the water ripples obscured everything, making it hazy and indistinct, so I couldn't see anything.

The two continued toward the camp, with Lin Chen accompanying them.

Soon, the many powerful members of the Sea God Cult set up a camp according to the number of people and settled down on their own.

All those present were powerful immortals. If given a piece of land, they would plan and settle in properly. After all, this was a temporary settlement and they hadn't joined the army according to regulations, so there weren't many rules.

The Sea God was placed in the center of the camp by the Sea God Cult members, while Shangguan Wenyin's camp was located a little further forward.

Lin Chen glanced at the Sea God's retreating figure as he entered the camp, then followed Shangguan Wenyin into his tent.

Shangguan Wenyin used a soundproofing technique to bring out two chairs and invited Lin Chen to sit down.

"It's been a long time. How are you doing?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Although the process was a bit dangerous, there were no major problems. What about you now? What's your strength and status?"

Shangguan Wenyin replied, "A high-grade Grand Luo Immortal, a holy son, but actually holding the position of sect leader. The old sect leader has been healing and cultivating, and doesn't really manage sect affairs. He thinks I'm managing it quite well..."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up: "Superior Grand Luo, the power of will cultivation is really amazing. My wife, you're already a Superior Grand Luo, she shouldn't be worse than you, right?" Shangguan Wenyin's expression was slightly subtle: "Peak Grand Luo, and according to her, she has already stepped into the Quasi-Saint realm with one foot, just short of moving the other foot in as well."

Lin Chen's eyes widened in surprise, and he exclaimed, "A Quasi-Saint?"

Shangguan Wenyin replied, "Yes, she cultivated in the Pool of Wish Power, and her strength increased by leaps and bounds, her progress was terrifying. If she hadn't wanted to use this Immortal Realm teleportation portal to go directly to the Crimson Immortal Realm to find you, she probably would have continued to cultivate in seclusion until she completely crossed that threshold."

"What's the rush?"

Lin Chen frowned immediately: "Even if it's bad, a little more time won't make a difference. Wouldn't it be better to come back after your cultivation is more stable?"

Shangguan Wenyin smiled wryly, "I also tried to persuade her, but she said that since you came to the War God's Mansion to find Mu Tianjun, and you were a soldier in your mortal days, you will definitely participate in the war this time. She was afraid that you would be too late..."

Lin Chen suddenly realized that Chu Jiaxue was worried that by the time she became a Quasi-Saint, she would have already died on the battlefield. Even if she rushed over then, as a Quasi-Saint, she would be powerless to save her.

A warm feeling welled up in Lin Chen's heart. Stepping into the Quasi-Saint realm, what a temptation that must be for an immortal.

Countless immortals would be willing to give up everything if they could reach the Quasi-Saint realm, but in Chu Jiaxue's heart, her safety was far more important than becoming a Quasi-Saint.

Although Lin Chen felt it was a pity that Chu Jiaxue gave up her comprehension and her chance to fully advance to the Quasi-Saint level, he didn't feel too disappointed.

Putting myself in Chu Jiaxue's shoes, if I knew she was in danger, I would definitely give up the temptation to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm and rush to her side to ensure her safety.

As husband and wife, they are one. She did it, and Lin Chen can do it too, so there's nothing more to say. Whatever the future holds, they'll face it together.

Besides, we've already stepped one foot in, so we can figure out a way to move the other foot in as well.
Life is long, there's always a way.

Lin Chen nodded: "Nothing's happened these past few years, has it?"

Shangguan Wenyin laughed and said, "What could possibly happen? She has been in seclusion cultivating and has only shown her face at a few important gatherings, revealing the Seal of the Sea God to show her support for the old sect leader and for me. Apart from that, she has never shown her face at all."

"The Hall of Ten Thousand Immortals seems to have some ideas about the changes in the Sea God Sect, but the Sea God and the old sect leader have reached a consensus, so there are naturally no loopholes for others to exploit. Although it is a bit troublesome, we can just muddle through it."

"The old sect leader originally didn't want the Sea Goddess to come, after all, she almost became a quasi-saint. He hoped she could stay, cultivate in peace, and oversee the Sea God Sect. But he couldn't persuade her or stop her. The old sect leader is no match for the Sea Goddess now..."
