The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 561 It would be better to just rob it.
Lin Chen's eyes widened: "The top ten in the Nine Provinces, those are true masters. One hundred and forty, tsk tsk, that age, not just anyone can live to that age..."

Feng Yazhen laughed and said, "That's right. Just at this age, it's remarkable. There aren't many people who can live to 140."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "If you want to break through the shackles of life again, you'll probably have to break through to the Innate Realm or higher."

Feng Yazhen laughed and said, "The innate state is the limit of this world. Beyond the innate state, one is no longer a mortal. How easy is it to shed one's mortal form?"

Lin Chen subconsciously recalled the Breakthrough Pill left behind by Liu Sansheng, which could be used by peak Innate Grandmasters to break through to the next realm. If this pill were to appear in the world, it would probably cause those peak Innate Grandmasters to fight to the death.

The fact that Liu Sansheng treated the Five Spirit Pills with such solemnity, yet he disdained them, shows how precious these pills are. After all, let alone in the mortal world, even among cultivators in blessed lands, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm and reaching the Golden Core Realm are extraordinary achievements.

Lin Chen smiled and agreed: "That's right. You mentioned that Ji Yusheng, the number one expert in the Nine Provinces. He must be a very powerful person, but he hasn't broken through yet. Going beyond the Innate Realm is extremely difficult."

Feng Yazhen smiled slightly: "Cultivation depends on talent, hard work, and luck. Ji Yusheng was powerful his whole life, but he never had the chance to enter the Unknown Land and reach a higher level. You are only twenty-seven, but you have already obtained the entrance to Cangshan Cave. Being able to enter Cangshan Cave is luck..."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Ji Yusheng is the number one expert in the Nine Provinces, so it doesn't make sense that the blessed lands and grotto-heavens wouldn't open any back doors for him. Or is there some inside story that we don't know about?"

Feng Yazhen thought for a moment: "Maybe so, but how would we know if he doesn't say it himself?"

"That's true."

Lin Chen steered the conversation back on track: "Let's talk about the Han family. Aside from Han Yunfeng, how many Xiantian cultivators does the Han family have?"

Feng Yazhen sighed, "The Han family is a deeply rooted native of Xijing, and can be considered the most historical native inhabitant of Xijing. The family has many members, is deeply rooted, and has produced many experts. The second generation of Qing and the third generation of Shan have many innate grandmasters. It is said that there are more than a dozen people. As for the grandmasters below, there are even more."

A dozen or so innate beings?
There's also Han Yun Peak, which can be ranked among the top ten in the world... Lin Chen praised, "Such a powerful lineup is indeed very impressive. No wonder it can be called the number one family in Xijing. It truly lives up to its name."

Feng Yazhen smiled wryly and said, "That's right. Although it is said to be four clans and twelve surnames, the disciples of other families all give way when they encounter the disciples of the Han family. They dare not provoke them easily for fear of causing trouble."

"Han Mingna is very much loved by her grandfather, Han Shanhe, and Han Shanhe's father, Han Qinglin, is also a Xiantian (innate) cultivator. Han Qinglin's father is Han Yunfeng..."

Lin Chen immediately understood: "So, just as Feng Yue is the great-grandson of the Feng family patriarch, Han Mingna's bloodline is also directly connected to Han Yunfeng, making her a direct descendant of Han Yunfeng, which is why she is so favored, is that what you mean?"

"The general meaning is similar."

Feng Yazhen smiled and said, "Although a married daughter is like water spilled from a cup, the Feng family is still one of the twelve surnames of Xijing. If the Han family can influence Feng Yue through Han Mingna and indirectly infiltrate and control the Feng family, it would not be a bad thing without bloodshed. Therefore, not only will Han Mingna's grandfather support her because he loves her, but other members of the Han family will also provide some support within a certain range."

Lin Chen curled his lip: "Is it really necessary to go through all this trouble? The Han family is so strong, while the Feng family only has two Xiantian experts. Why not just rob them directly?"

Feng Yazhen laughed and said, "Tigers have the strength to kill other animals, but that doesn't mean they have to kill all the other animals in their habitat. Besides, if they did that, what would the other sects think? Today it's my Feng family, but tomorrow it might be theirs. There will definitely be open and covert struggles and devouring, but it's not something that can be done openly and honestly just because you have strength."

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "That's true. If you can just rob anyone if you're strong enough, then Ji Yusheng would be the richest person..."

After a pause, Lin Chen stared at Feng Yazhen: "Aunt, although the situation is indeed not favorable, can we really just stand by and watch? If my cousin really has no interest in this position, then naturally there is no need to fight for it. But I can clearly see that he is interested... but powerless?"

Feng Yazhen explained, "The reason Xiao Hang refused you so readily is that he didn't want to cause you trouble. After all, it might involve going against the Feng family patriarch and the Han family. In addition, a big reason is that when you were bullied by the Wang family before, they didn't help you much, and he felt quite guilty and embarrassed. How could he have the face to accept your help now?"
