The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3299 What's wrong, you can't bear to part with it?
As soon as Chu Jiaxue said this, Gu Yuexi, Yao Xuanji, and Nalan Wushuang all turned their attention to Shang Wenyan.

Shang Wenyan's face immediately showed embarrassment. She dared not look at the crowd, her long eyelashes drooping as she stared at her feet.

Gu Yuexi said with a smile, "Sister Yan is still shy. Haven't you been waiting for this day for a long time? You've been wronged because of Brother Chen. Now that Brother Chen has finally reached the peak of the Great Luo realm, you don't need to stay here anymore. It's time to fully join our big family."

Although Shang Wenyan had long since integrated into the family and become a member of it, she and Lin Chen had never taken that step, in order to leave Lin Chen with a chance to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm.

Previously, the patriarch of Shang Wenyan's sect disregarded the sect's seniority and ethics and insisted on marrying Shang Wenyan. After Shang Wenyan was taken away by Lin Chen, he searched for her all over the world and even went to Juxian Island in hopes of finding out her whereabouts. However, Lin Chen thwarted his plan, thus cutting off his path.

Although a little shy, Shang Wenyan had actually been looking forward to this day for a long time.

Although everyone treated her like a sister and family, she never truly joined the group. Sometimes, when the other girls talked about private topics between men and women, Shang Wenyan would feel a little awkward.

"I listen to everyone."

Although Shang Wenyan was a little shy, she still frankly expressed her attitude.

Lin Chen thought more deeply: "I have only just reached the peak of the Great Luo realm, and my understanding of the Dao is still very limited. Trying under such conditions will probably be difficult to achieve results. Perhaps I should first go into seclusion to comprehend the Heavenly Dao, and try again when I have gained some understanding, so as not to disappoint Wen Yan's painstaking efforts."

Nalan Wushuang smiled and said, "Aren't there still many Azure Nether Divine Fruits in the tower? Using them to aid in comprehension should make things twice as effective."

Lin Chen thought for a moment: "The Azure Nether Divine Fruit does have effects, but I think what's even more mysterious is that it can change perspectives to understand the experiences of others. If someone breaks through to a higher realm right now, and I take the Azure Nether Divine Fruit and meditate on it from the side, the effect will definitely be very good."

Chu Jiaxue said with a wry smile, "It's so difficult to break through to become a Quasi-Saint. How many Quasi-Saints are there in the entire Immortal Realm? And it has to be at the right time. It's not easy."

Lin Chen smiled helplessly: "Of course it's not easy. For a normal immortal to cultivate to the peak of the Great Luo realm, it can be said that they are standing at the pinnacle of the world. Only a few people can cross that step, and crossing that step is a qualitative leap."

"Quasi-Saint, that's still close to Saint. Immortal and Saint are two completely different realms, like heaven and earth. Crossing that step is like a mortal ascending to heaven, how difficult it is."

Gu Yuexi suggested, "Why don't you go ask the Palace Master? Recently, there has been a great war between immortals and demons, followed by another great war against demons. Many peak Grand Luo cultivators have participated in the battles. In such intense battles, people often gain more insights, and the probability of breaking through to a higher realm increases significantly. Perhaps some people have already gained some insights and are preparing to break through to a higher realm?"

Lin Chen's eyes lit up, and he praised, "That's a good suggestion. I'll ask about it later. There's no harm in asking."

Chu Jiaxue asked, "Then how should I answer when the Palace Master asks what you want to do?"

Lin Chen replied confidently, "Observing, exchanging ideas, and learning—aren't these normal behaviors? I'm a person of status and position now. If such a person really exists, asking him to do me a favor and allow me to observe and make a good connection shouldn't be a problem, right?"

After a pause, Lin Chen raised his chin and nodded at Chu Jiaxue and Nalan Wushuang: "If I bring several quasi-saints to his door, he won't refuse to give me face, will he?"

Lin Chen's last sentence made all the women laugh, and they could roughly picture the scene that might unfold in their minds. A Great Luo Peak Immortal who was about to break through to the next realm was suddenly approached by a group of people who wanted his help—to watch him comprehend his breakthrough. Looking at the several Quasi-Saints surrounding him, the Great Luo Peak Immortal trembled and hurriedly agreed.

With the breakthrough settled, Lin Chen brought up another matter: "The Seven-Colored Immortal Lord has gifted me the Dao Cauldron. After that, you can all enter it to cultivate. If you reach a bottleneck, you can consume the Azure Nether Divine Fruit. You also need to reach the peak of the Great Luo realm as soon as possible."

"Once you reach the peak of the Great Luo realm, with the wondrous effects of the Azure Nether Divine Fruit, we can refer to the breakthroughs of others, and then have someone within our ranks achieve a breakthrough. Finally, we will refer to these breakthroughs again and again until all of us achieve a breakthrough."

"Our family should stay together and no one should fall behind. We are quasi-saints now, who knows, our whole family might become saints in the future."

Gu Yuexi, Yao Xuanji, and Shang Wenyan's eyes all lit up.

Indeed, if one can observe from the sidelines time and time again, and perceive and comprehend the Dao of Heaven from a different perspective, then breaking through to become a Quasi-Saint in the end doesn't seem so difficult.

Lin Chen first went to find a Quasi-Saint who had broken through outside to observe and comprehend his own understanding. If the Quasi-Saint succeeded, then he and the others could also comprehend his own understanding, which would greatly increase their chances of success.

"So, we won't participate in the upcoming war?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Just take leave. You are all my personal guards in name. If I take leave, you will naturally follow suit. Besides, I think the upcoming battles will mostly be between saints. The casualty rate of ordinary immortals participating in the battles is too high. We will definitely adjust our strategy in the future."

After giving his instructions, Lin Chen settled down to meditate and recover.

When Lin Chen woke up from his meditation, several days had passed. The first thing Lin Chen did was ask about the results of the battles of the previous days.

"Have the Immortal Emperor and the others returned?"

Chu Jiaxue replied, "They're back. According to the information released by the Palace Master, the five Saints launched a surprise attack on the Abyss Demon Headquarters, almost leveling the entire headquarters. Countless demons were killed or wounded, suffering heavy losses. Because the attack was sudden, the demon lords were unprepared and had to hastily engage in battle. The Enchantress Lord and the Arrogant Lord were seriously injured."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "The news is good news, but this news is just for everyone to hear. The specific details may be a little different."

Chu Jiaxue said understandingly, "We should naturally report good news and not bad news to our subordinates. This is the only way to boost morale. Besides, even if there are any major problems, talking about them will only increase the pressure on everyone and lower morale, and we won't get any solutions."

Lin Chen nodded: "That makes sense. Where's Su Su? Hasn't she come back yet?"

Nalan Wushuang chuckled, "She's only staying by your side temporarily. You really treat her like a personal guard? Now that her master has arrived, she'll definitely stay with him. What, are you reluctant to let her go?"

Lin Chen explained helplessly, "What do you mean I'm reluctant to part with her? I just thought that since she's a direct disciple of the Great Wilderness Saint, she must have firsthand information, and I wanted to ask her about it. Oh well, I'll go ask the Palace Master and ask for leave while I'm at it..."
