The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3100 Shut up, stop yelling!
Lin Chen followed Shi Haoyu to the top of the Great Wilderness Temple once again.

Shi Haoyu silently led the way, finally unable to hold back and asked, "Lin Chen, did you get the Holy Path Orb?"

"Holy Path Orb?"

Lin Chen blinked: "What Holy Path Orb?"

Shi Haoyu's face stiffened: "Didn't you go out this time to seize the Sacred Path Orb?"

Lin Chen shook his head without hesitation: "No, I just went to catch up with an old friend and settle some accounts."

Shi Haoyu's face flushed red: "Lin Chen, aren't you insulting my intelligence by saying that?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Who told you that? It's all hearsay, don't believe it."

Shi Haoyu looked at Lin Chen with an expression that seemed to say, "Do I look like an idiot to you?" He said, "This is the Great Wilderness Palace. You don't need to hide anything. No one will report you."

Lin Chen answered without hesitation, "But I really don't know anything about what you're talking about. I just went out to fight, kill people, and settle scores. Who told you I went to get that Holy Path Orb?"

Shi Haoyu's face froze completely. He gritted his teeth, stopped talking, and silently led the way.

Lin Chen smiled slightly, completely unconcerned.

I may have done it, but I'll never admit to it!
Go ask whoever said that, but don't ask me. If you do, I'll just say they went off to fight and kill someone.

What Holy Path Orb? I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about!
Lin Chen wasn't afraid of people finding out that his group was hiding in the Great Wilderness Palace. If the Demon Emperor really came looking for them, it would be the Palace Master or the Great Wilderness Saint who would step forward. After all, the mastermind behind this was the Palace Master of the Great Wilderness Palace, and he was just an executor.

Unless the Demon Emperor intends to eliminate the Great Wilderness Palace, he is safe.

More than a thousand people may seem like a lot, but compared to the entire Demon God Temple, the entire Demon Realm, and even the entire Great Wilderness Palace, it's nothing at all.

The war is currently at a stalemate. Unless the Demon Emperor has gone mad, he certainly won't attack the Great Wilderness Palace. If he does, wouldn't that force the Great Wilderness Palace and the Great Wilderness Saints to side with the human race?
Under this premise, as long as he doesn't admit it, the Demon God Temple won't find a suitable reason to attack him.

Shi Haoyu led Lin Chen to the palace master's residence, turned to leave, but stopped and said in a deep voice, "No matter what you have done, this is the Great Wilderness Palace. Don't forget your identity!"

Lin Chen stared calmly at Shi Haoyu: "And in what capacity do you speak to me like this? Are you the head of the guards? Or should I ask the Palace Master if my identity as the commander of the Dawn Camp is genuine?"

Shi Haoyu's face darkened even further. As the chief guard of the Great Wilderness Temple, he was a trusted person of the Palace Master. Who wouldn't give him some face on a normal day?

Lin Chen, this outsider, really didn't give him any face at all, which made him quite angry.

What angered Shi Haoyu was not Lin Chen's attitude towards him, but the Palace Master's attitude towards Lin Chen!

After the Palace Master figured out the identities of Lin Chen and his group, he met with Lin Chen alone and gave him a separate Dawn Battalion. During the time that Lin Chen and the others were not present, the Dawn Battalion was not sent out to fight.

Lin Chen had only just returned when he immediately ordered an audience with him, which shows how much he valued him.

If Lin Chen were a mature middle-aged man, Shi Haoyu might not be so worried, but Lin Chen is not only young and promising, but also very handsome!

Yes, even by Shi Haoyu's standards of beauty, Lin Chen is considered one of the most handsome human men!
As the two stood in silent confrontation, Bai Zhu, the palace master's maid, stepped forward.

Lin Chen turned around, waved to Bai Zhu, and greeted her with a smile: "Sister Bai, long time no see!"

Bai Zhu couldn't help but laugh, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

This guy has changed his address again!
But it sounds so pleasant to the ear.

"What are you calling me? Who's your sister?" Lin Chen laughed. "I did want to call you Little White Sister, but I was afraid you'd think I was taking advantage of you. Actually, you're so young, you really do look much younger than me."

Bai Zhu snorted, "Shut up! You'll say anything!"

Bai Zhu's words seemed like a reprimand, but everyone could hear the warmth in them; didn't you see how she couldn't suppress the smile on her face?
Seeing this scene, Shi Haoyu felt even more heartbroken.

Bai Zhu, as the palace master's personal maid, had interacted with him countless times, but she always maintained a cold and serious demeanor. When had she ever smiled at him like this?

She's only met Lin Chen a few times?

This is only the second time, and they're already so close!

What upset Shi Haoyu was not only Bai Zhu's affectionate attitude towards Lin Chen, but also Bai Zhu's attitude towards Lin Chen. Bai Zhu was the palace master's personal maid. If the palace master didn't like someone, she would never treat him like this. Her attitude could only mean that the palace master valued and was very close to Lin Chen.

Bai Zhu noticed Shi Haoyu, who was standing to the side with an unnatural expression: "Is there anything else, Chief Guard?"

Shi Haoyu snapped out of his daze: "Oh, it's nothing. I'll leave him to Miss Bai. I'm off."

After Shi Haoyu left, Bai Zhu turned to Lin Chen and asked, "You two had a fight, why does he look like that?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "He asked me about the Holy Path Orb, and I said I didn't know what he was talking about. He said I insulted his intelligence, so he was probably a little unhappy about it."

Bai Zhu smiled gently: "Why do you say you don't know?"

Lin Chen replied with a smile, "It was the Palace Master who asked me to do this, not him. Why should I tell him everything? This matter has nothing to do with him in the first place."

After a pause, Lin Chen added, "I will naturally tell the Palace Master everything, but as for others, I know nothing about them and have done nothing for them. I don't want the Demon God Temple to come knocking on my door."

Bai Zhu chuckled lightly, "You're quite cautious, aren't you just burying your head in the sand?"

As Bai Zhu spoke, he gestured for Lin Chen to follow him.

Lin Chen followed half a step behind Bai Zhu and casually replied, "If the strength of both sides is completely unequal, and one side completely crushes the other, then naturally there is no need for an excuse. Killing is killing, and stealing is stealing. But if the strength difference between the two sides is limited and they are wary of each other, then a suitable reason is very important."

"I can't control what others do, but I can't just put myself in the wrong and hand over my excuses and reasons to them. What's the difference between that and handing them a knife?"

Bai Zhu smiled and said, "You're so careful. No wonder you're still alright after going through so much."

"Better safe than sorry."

Lin Chen answered with a smile, and stepped into the same room as before.

A slender figure had already taken her usual seat next door and was quietly watching this side.

Before the other party could ask any questions, Lin Chen cupped his hands in greeting and smiled, "Palace Master, I have successfully completed my mission and retrieved the Sacred Path Orb!"

The Palace Master did not rush Lin Chen to hand over the Sacred Path Orb, but instead asked, "I heard that the Demon Emperor personally took action?"

Lin Chen nodded: "After the explosion of Demon Saint Valley, we were lucky enough to escape through the gap in the broken barrier. After that, the Demon Emperor probably received the report and then began the search. He was a step too slow, which gave me time to prepare."

"We were lucky. If the Demon Emperor had been in the Demon God's Palace and had intervened the moment the Demon Saint Valley exploded, we would definitely have been doomed..."
