The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3105 Next time, you might as well be a little tougher!
Guardhouse.

Several snacks were laid out on the small square table, and Lin Chen and Qi Tian were drinking.

With nothing to do these past two days, Lin Chen came to find Qi Tian for a drink, hoping to find out more about the Thunderous Secret Realm.

Although Qi Tian had said that each Thunderous Secret Realm has its own unique destiny, it's always good to know more about it.

"Old Qi, you mentioned the Thunderous Secret Realm before, could you tell me more about it?"

Qi Tian took a leisurely sip of his wine, smacked his lips, and said with a satisfied expression, "Why are you asking this? You don't mean you're planning to sneak in, do you? That won't do. Even if you do get in, without a pass token, you'll be instantly killed."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "The Palace Master has given his permission."

Qi Tian's hand, holding the wine cup, suddenly stopped, and he looked at Lin Chen in shock: "Permission? You got the pass?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes."

Qi Tian stared at Lin Chen in astonishment, as if he were seeing Lin Chen for the first time: "How did you do that?"

Only a limited number of people in the Great Wilderness Palace knew about what happened in Demon Saint Valley, and even those who knew wouldn't believe that the Great Wilderness was responsible.

Qi Tian worked as a gatekeeper here, leisurely passing his days, so naturally he wouldn't care about what was happening outside. Therefore, he didn't know about this matter, and even if he did, he couldn't possibly connect it with the young man in front of him.

Lin Chen naturally wouldn't publicize this matter, and said with a smile, "I helped the Palace Master with some personal matters. I asked her for the qualification to enter the Thunderous Secret Realm, and the Palace Master readily agreed."

"Taking care of some personal business?"

Qi Tian stared at Lin Chen suspiciously: "What private matter does the Palace Master need you, an outsider, to help with?"

Lin Chen replied confidently, "It's precisely because I'm an outsider that it's more convenient for me. Since it's a private matter, I naturally don't want many people to know about it. That's all I can say about it; I can't reveal any more details."

Qi Tian waved his hand: "You don't need to say anything, and I won't ask. It's just a personal matter, and you're giving me a spot? That's too easy. Could it be because you're handsome and the Palace Master has taken a liking to you?"

Lin Chen chuckled: "It's true that she's handsome, but whether she's interested in me or not, I have no idea. You can't just say things like that."

Qi Tian sneered, "Entering the Thunderous Secret Realm is not something that can be obtained with ordinary merit. Yet you obtained it so easily. It's hard not to have some doubts."

It's not one spot, it's three!

This is not easy at all!

If I didn't possess a primordial spiritual treasure like the Linglong Pagoda, even ten lives wouldn't be enough to compensate for it.

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Think whatever you want, but I didn't say anything."

Qi Tian poured the wine from the cup into his mouth, put down the cup, smacked his lips, and exclaimed, "You've got some skills, kid. You're currently at the middle grade, but once you enter the Thunderous Secret Realm, you'll probably be able to advance to the upper grade."

Lin Chen chuckled as he picked up the wine jug and poured wine for Qi Tian, ​​saying with a grin, "That's why I've come to ask you for advice. Tell me what exactly is going on in this Thunderous Secret Realm, so I can be prepared and avoid being caught off guard and delaying my cultivation."

Qi Tian hummed in agreement, staring at Lin Chen in front of him, but did not immediately bring up the Thunderous Secret Realm, instead changing the subject.

"You asked me about Lü Shuyi before..." Lin Chen blinked: "Yes, why?"

Qi Tian stared into Lin Chen's eyes: "You visited Lü Shuyi, and then she disappeared."

Lin Chen chuckled, feigning surprise: "Old Qi, what do you mean by staring at me like that? Do you think I did something to her?"

Qi Tian nodded frankly: "Yes, I did suspect you. I've inquired about you. Although you're only a mid-grade Great Luo Immortal, you possess the ability to fight beyond your realm. On the Immortal-Demon Battlefield, you killed many Demon Lords. Moreover, you possess a Demon-Summoning Banner that can command dozens of great demons, and you also have a magic weapon that allows experts to hide within it..."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "So, you mean I have the ability to take action against Lü Shuyi, right?"

Qi Tian nodded: "Yes, you visited Lü Shuyi. Although I don't know what you talked about, I heard that Lü Shuyi was furious after you left. Can you tell me what you talked about?"

Lin Chen answered without hesitation, "The senior who entrusted me with this task was Master Taixu..."

Qi Tian raised an eyebrow: "I know him. Like Mei Mingzhi, he is a master of spatial magic. When we came here, we also considered having him lead the team."

Lin Chen nodded and casually made up a story: "Yes, Master Taixu and Lü Shuyi's Daoist partner Huo Tianyu are friends. Master Taixu instructed me that if I entered the Demon Realm and had the chance to see Lü Shuyi, I should bring her a jade slip. I don't know the contents of the jade slip, but Lü Shuyi was very angry after reading it..."

Lin Chen has already temporarily imprisoned Lü Shuyi in the Linglong Tower, which is equivalent to her disappearing from the world, so Lin Chen doesn't need to worry about anyone exposing him.

Even if Qi Tian has the opportunity to meet Master Taixu in the future and inquire about this matter, Master Taixu will most likely know that she was defeated by him and will not expose his explanation.

Qi Tian stared straight at Lin Chen: "She has an extreme and easily angered personality. Since she was so angry, she might not make things difficult for you on the surface, but who knows what might happen in private? Did she not cause you any trouble later?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "No, I left Sixian City that day and went straight back to the Great Wilderness Palace. The Palace Master asked me about this before, but I really didn't know anything about it."

Lin Chen wasn't afraid of being exposed at all. Those two of Lü Shuyi's subordinates were too busy covering up the matter to care. If it were exposed, they would also be doomed.

Besides, even if he were exposed, Lin Chen wouldn't be afraid. She was just a crazy woman; he could kill her and that would be it. If anyone was not satisfied, they could come and fight!

Qi Tian withdrew his gaze: "Alright, if Mei Mingzhi asks you about this later, just say the same thing."

Lin Chen smiled wryly and said, "What do you mean by 'it's fine to say it like that'? It's just the truth. You're making it sound like I'm covering something up."

Qi Tian chuckled and gave Lin Chen a meaningful look: "Whether it's true or not, you know best."

Lin Chen felt a little guilty under that look. Why did the old man seem so certain that he was the one who did it?
Lin Chen laughed and said, "Old Qi, what you're saying..."

Qi Tian interrupted Lin Chen and said with a smile, "Since you insist that it has nothing to do with you, why don't you make a solemn oath to prove that you have nothing to do with Lü Shuyi's disappearance?"

Lin Chen's expression stiffened slightly, then he chuckled and said, "Although it's none of my business, I can't just make grand oaths to the heavens for no reason. If this gets entangled in karma, it'll be troublesome."

Qi Tian chuckled: "Next time, you might as well be more assertive. It wasn't me who did it, so why should I prove my innocence? If you have evidence, then produce it; if not, then shut up."

Lin Chen looked at Qi Tian with a surprised expression and a look of doubt in his eyes: "Why do you seem not to care even though you clearly suspect me?"
