The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3075 Is it really necessary to give gifts so openly and honestly?

Lin Chen originally thought that the Palace Master would meet him at the Great Wilderness Temple, but he did not expect that Shi Haoyu would lead him around the temple and head towards the top of the temple.

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Captain Guard, where are we going?"

Shi Haoyu glanced at Lin Chen, his gaze indifferent and distant: "The Palace Master's living quarters."

Lin Chen said "Oh," and casually asked, "I'm a guy, is this convenient?"

Lin Chen's words were just casual remarks, but Shi Haoyu's eyes suddenly turned cold, and his gaze towards Lin Chen became more icy.

"The top of the Great Wilderness Temple is where the Palace Master resides daily. The temple is where the Great Wilderness's official business is handled. It is an honor for you that the Palace Master can receive you in his residence. No matter what the Palace Master says to you, shut your mouth after you leave and don't talk nonsense. If any rumors spread, you will bear the consequences."

Wow, such a big reaction?
Lin Chen smiled amiably: "I'm very tight-lipped, don't worry, even if there's something, I won't say it out loud."

Even if there is something?

Shi Haoyu raised an eyebrow, seemingly wanting to say something more, but they were already at the summit of the Great Wilderness Temple.

The Great Wilderness Temple is the highest and most magnificent hall in the entire Great Wilderness Palace, situated atop the most majestic mountain peak, exuding the most awe-inspiring grandeur.

Suspended atop the Great Wilderness Temple, one feels as if overlooking the world, a being in a celestial palace, yearning to ride the wind and return home.

The edge of the temple was covered in snow, but the central part was lush with greenery, fruit trees, and flowers, a scene full of springtime vitality.

What a paradise!
Shi Haoyu brought Lin Chen down to the top of the temple, which was actually the top floor of the temple. He cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to the Palace Master, Lin Chen from the Dawn Camp has arrived."

A tall, spirited demon woman appeared from a house in the distance: "Captain, you go ahead, I'll take care of him."

Shi Haoyu seemed hesitant, but ultimately dared not disobey, and cupped his hands, saying, "Yes!"

The woman approached Lin Chen, looked him up and down, and said, "Come with me."

Lin Chen strolled along and casually asked, "What's your name, Miss?"

"Little sister?"

The woman turned and glanced at Lin Chen: "Is this how you humans greet strange women?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "It's a term of respect. After all, what woman wants to be called old?"

The woman replied, "My name is Bai Zhu, and I am the palace master's personal maid."

Lin Chen flipped his hand, and a bottle of pills appeared in his hand. He handed the pills over with a smile: "Oh dear, how come there's a bottle of top-grade youth-preserving pills on the ground? Did you drop it, Miss Bai? I picked it up for you. Please keep it safe and don't drop it again."

Bai Zhu's face showed obvious astonishment. As the palace master's personal maid, she naturally wielded immense hidden power. Many people wanted to give them gifts on a daily basis, but to openly give a gift in front of the palace master upon meeting was simply too arrogant.

Most importantly, he actually used such a lame excuse. How can this person be so shameless?
While Bai Zhu was still hesitating whether to accept the pills, Lin Chen had already enthusiastically placed the bottle of pills directly into her hand, then smiled as if nothing had happened and continued walking forward.

Bai Zhu pursed his lips. Fine, I'll accept it for now and see what the Palace Master thinks later.

The person was so generous with the gift that it became difficult for me to refuse.

Bai Zhu composed himself and led Lin Chen into the house, stopping in a spacious and elegant room.

"Please wait a moment, I'll go and invite the Palace Master." Soon, footsteps came from inside the room, and the Palace Master, who was tall and slender and seemed to be shrouded in mist, appeared next door.

Yes, the palace master did not enter this room, but sat down in the next room. The two rooms were connected, separated by a thick beaded curtain.

The beaded curtain couldn't block Lin Chen's senses, but since the other party was acting this way, they were clearly prepared to maintain their mystery and not reveal their true face. Lin Chen, being sensible, wouldn't investigate.

That's the Palace Master of the Great Wilderness Temple, the personal disciple of the Great Wilderness Saint, and a powerful Quasi-Saint!

"Lin Chen, you've got some nerve bribing my maid right in front of me."

Lin Chen blinked, looking surprised: "This is not a bribe. We're new here, and we'll be dealing with each other a lot in the future. There's no guarantee that we won't cause a lot of trouble. This is just a gesture of goodwill."

"These days, when visiting relatives and friends, you have to bring some meat or fruit. Who would come empty-handed? That's so impolite."

The palace master said calmly, "My maids all receive gifts, so it's impossible that I don't?"

Lin Chen chuckled and flipped his hand, another gift box appearing in his hand: "I wanted to give it to you when I met you last time, but we were too far apart. You were sitting high in the main hall, looking so majestic and imposing. I was so captivated by your presence that I forgot about it. Now I'm making up for it. I hope you won't mind."

The palace master seemed somewhat surprised as well.

This guy is so good at saying nice things, and he gives gifts in such a grand and respectable way, without feeling embarrassed at all.

You have such a thick skin!
Bai Zhu came out with a rather subtle expression. He picked up the gift box, went next door, and presented it to the Palace Master.

The palace master opened it, took a look, and closed the lid: "You're quite generous."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "From now on, all 1,473 members of my Dawn Camp will directly obey the Palace Master's orders and serve the Palace Master. The Palace Master will be my superior. This is just a small token of my appreciation, nothing to do with whether I'm willing to give it or not."

Lin Chen had obtained a lot of good things in the Bitter Sea Immortal Realm, so choosing a decent gift was just a piece of cake.

Considering that the Palace Master is a woman and a Quasi-Saint, he gave her a top-grade and rare raw material that would greatly benefit a woman after she absorbed it. This item was priceless and hard to find anywhere in the world, making it an excellent tool for flattering women.

The palace master pondered for a moment and said, "You've come up here with gifts right away. If I don't reward you with something, it seems a bit unreasonable."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "If the Palace Master is willing, then so be it. What it is is not important. What is important is to show the Palace Master's regard for our Dawn Camp. Otherwise, if we are ever looked down upon or bullied, wouldn't we, as the Palace Master's direct subordinates, lose face for the Palace Master?"

The palace master sneered, "Eloquent tongues, who would bully you?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "It's better to be prepared. We're new here and the Palace Master is already paying attention to us and even personally commanding us. It would be a lie to say that other troops aren't envious. There might even be some rivalries..."

The palace master fell silent for a moment.

This guy took advantage of the gift he received; he clearly wanted to get some kind of special privilege from me. Saying he lost face was just a lie; he was just worried that his 1,400-plus people would suffer a loss.

That kid is cunning!

The palace master decided to change the subject; otherwise, if he continued along with him, he might find himself trapped by his words.

This kid speaks respectfully, but he's actually not that respectful to me at all!
"Didn't you go to Sixian City? How did things go?"
