The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3346 We can't give him that chance!

Is Lin Chen really in such a hurry to see his wife?
of course not.

He simply didn't want to appear too close to the Seven-Colored Immortal Lord for the time being, after all, he had already feigned allegiance to the Azure Phoenix Immortal Lord.

If Qingluan were to find out that he had been drinking and having a private get-together with the Seven-Colored Immortal Lord as soon as he returned, wouldn't that just create more trouble for himself?

If Lin Chen had a choice, he would certainly prefer Seven-Colored Immortal Lord to go on the mission with him. He would also be more willing to share the credit with Seven-Colored Immortal Lord. But who told you that you couldn't compete with Azure Phoenix Immortal Lord?

The Immortal Emperor appointed him, and the outcome is already set in stone. No matter what Lin Chen says, he cannot change the result.

Since that's the case, why bother saying anything more?

We're both smart people, so there's no need to be too blunt.

"Okay, Brother Cong, I'll head back now. Let's meet up again when I'm free."

Lin Chen took a couple of steps, then suddenly remembered something. He turned back, approached the Seven-Colored Immortal Lord, took off the necklace the Seven-Colored Immortal Lord had borrowed, and handed it to the Seven-Colored Immortal Lord.

"Thank you very much, Brother Cong, for lending this item. It has come in very useful. Now it is returned to its rightful owner."

The Seven-Colored Immortal Lord gripped the necklace in his hand, his eyes lighting up: "It works?"

Lin Chen smiled and nodded: "Effective."

The Seven-Colored Immortal Lord breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "It's good that it worked."

Lin Chen didn't say much, cupped his hands in greeting, and turned to leave.

As the Seven-Colored Immortal Lord watched Lin Chen's departing figure, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

Lin Chen said that this thing was very useful and effective, which means that Qingluan Immortal Lord had already attacked Lin Chen, but because Lin Chen was prepared, Qingluan Immortal Lord's methods obviously did not work.

Although the Seven-Colored Immortal Lord did not know the specific process, it was clear that Lin Chen was not controlled by the Azure Phoenix Immortal Lord.

The fact that he wasn't under control, and the way he spoke just now, seems to say a lot.

Since Immortal Lord Qingluan had attacked Lin Chen, given Lin Chen's temperament, it was impossible for him to genuinely submit to Immortal Lord Qingluan. Even if it seems that Immortal Lord Qingluan has taken all the credit now, that's just superficial.

Lin Chen probably had his own calculations in mind.

"got rejected?"

The figure of Immortal Lord Ranhai appeared at the door, his tone sympathetic: "Times have changed. Things are different now. We're completely out of luck this time. Lin Chen is a smart man; he definitely knows what to choose."

Seven-Colored Immortal Lord turned his head and said with a wry smile, "Do you believe what Junior Brother said?"

Burning Sea Immortal Lord shrugged: "Whether I believe it or not, does it matter? The result is already in front of us. Even if all the credit goes to Lin Chen, so what? In the end, the two of them brought back the kryptonite together..."

"Yes, it doesn't matter anymore."

The Seven-Colored Immortal Lord's eyes dimmed slightly, but then returned to calm: "Actually, this matter was already decided from the beginning. Neither you nor I can change it, and neither can Lin Chen. Even if he had a choice, it was a helpless move. I will not blame him at all."

"I came out to greet him not to pry into anything, but simply because I was happy to see him return safely. After all, he saved my life, and he's a very honest and interesting person. I've already considered him a friend."

Immortal Lord Ranhai chuckled, "It's a pity he's not Master's disciple, otherwise, hehe..."

Seven-Colored Immortal Lord naturally understood the meaning behind Burning Sea Immortal Lord's words, and remained silent for two seconds: "It shouldn't be that fast, right?"

Seven-Colored Immortal Lord's words came out of nowhere and were quite abrupt, but Burning Sea Immortal Lord understood them and calmly replied, "At least until the Abyss Demons are completely defeated and this war ends, it is impossible."

Seven-Colored Immortal Lord nodded, raised his eyes, and stared into the eyes of Burning Sea Immortal Lord: "Will you go?"

"Go, why not!"

Without hesitation, Immortal Lord Ranhai replied, "Are we really just going to wait here until they become saints and then treat us all differently? Since the opportunity has come, we have to take a gamble." After a pause, Immortal Lord Ranhai sighed, "But that place isn't something we can just enter whenever we want; it depends on fate..."

The Seven-Colored Immortal Lord's eyes were resolute: "Let's give it a try, maybe we'll get in."

Immortal Lord Ranhai nodded, raised his eyes, and looked in the direction where Lin Chen had disappeared: "Will he go?"

"Probably so."

The Seven-Colored Immortal Lord replied, "Isn't this time we're going to select many outstanding people to try out? He's so outstanding and has made so many great contributions. With such an opportunity, it wouldn't be right not to choose him."

Burning Sea Immortal Lord nodded: "That's true... Let's go back. I guess the great battle is about to begin. I hope that kryptonite is really that magical."

The Seven-Colored Immortal Lord laughed and said, "Yes, if what they say is true, then this war may be coming to an end soon."

……

Lin Chen's return to the camp immediately attracted the attention of many Quasi-Saints.

"Lin Chen, where have you been all this time?"

"Long time no see, where have you been?"

Only a few saints and their direct disciples knew that Lin Chen and Qingluan Immortal Lord had gone to the Starry Sky Beast Ancestral Land. Ordinary quasi-saints only knew that Lin Chen had come in a hurry and then left after only a few days.

Because Lin Chen's advancement to Quasi-Saint was too rapid, and because he was too young, he attracted extra attention and became the focus of everyone's attention. After Lin Chen disappeared, everyone was guessing where he went, and now that they saw him again, they naturally couldn't help but ask.

Lin Chen replied with a smile, "I was ordered to go out on a mission and just came back."

Immediately, someone asked curiously, "What kind of mission is it? Can you tell me?"

Lin Chen gave a conservative answer: "It's not convenient to reveal it for now, but everyone will know in time."

Is it good news?

"good news."

Lin Chen answered everyone's questions and found the residence of Chu Jiaxue and the others.

Chu Jiaxue, Nalan Wushuang, Zhen Liuxue and others lived together and were overjoyed to see Lin Chen return.

The women were quite worried about going to space to carry out a mission.

On one hand, they were worried about the unknown dangers of the starry sky, and on the other hand, they were worried about the Azure Phoenix Immortal Lord who was traveling with them. Now that he has returned safely, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Jiaxue hugged Lin Chen and asked with concern, "Was the journey smooth?"

Lin Chen replied, "It's alright, it went quite smoothly. We found something to counter the Abyss Demons and brought it back. If all goes well, this war should be over soon."

The women were overjoyed.

"What could possibly subdue the demons of the abyss?"

Lin Chen naturally didn't hide anything from his wife, and he recounted everything that had happened along the way.

The women were all quite angry after hearing this.

"Immortal Lord Qingluan actually attacked you early on, trying to control you. He clearly has ulterior motives; this person is too insidious!"

Nalan Wushuang's eyes flashed with a cold killing intent: "Since he still has a chance to become a saint, I think we can't give him that chance. Otherwise, once he becomes a saint and the threat of the abyss demons is gone, will we still have a way to survive?"
