The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 566 That's quite ambitious!
“There was some chance, but it had nothing to do with my father. I found out in Dingcheng that twenty-seven years ago, he and my mother were taken back to the Kunlun Mountain Cave by a Miss Tang, and we haven’t heard from them since.”

These details weren't exactly secrets; they were all information gathered through investigation, so Lin Chen spoke frankly. However, he concealed Chen Tongxian's true identity.

When lying, nine parts truth and one part falsehood make it the most convincing.

Ji Yusheng asked, "Could you tell me about it?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I actually went to Kunlun Mountain because of my father. Of course, it was also to seek refuge, since the Five Dragons Sect had issued a warrant for my arrest. One day, I came to a place where there was a pond. The surrounding area was frozen and covered in snow, but the pond itself was not frozen. There was a middle-aged man fishing by the pond..."

Ji Yusheng's eyes suddenly lit up: "Fishing in the frozen Kunlun Mountains?"

Lin Chen recounted how the man shared some of the fish meat with him after catching it, and how he then successfully broke through to the next realm, though it was only partly true and partly false.

Ji Yusheng's eyes were strange: "That person must also be from a blessed land, maybe even from the Kunlun Mountain Grotto-heaven. Didn't you ask about your father?"

Lin Chen smiled bitterly, "I ate the fish and sat in meditation to cultivate. When I opened my eyes again, he was gone. I had nowhere to ask him anything."

Ji Yusheng laughed and said, "You missed an opportunity to gather information."

Seeing that Ji Yusheng was very easygoing, Lin Chen took the opportunity to ask the question that had been bothering him: "President, you are the number one expert in the Innate Realm, and you should have had some contact with blessed lands and grotto-heavens. You should have had the opportunity to enter a blessed land, right?"

Ji Yusheng laughed and said, "Are you asking me why I don't enter the blessed land and instead stay in this mortal world?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes."

Ji Yusheng replied, "I've been in contact with blessed lands, but that doesn't mean I can enter them casually. Besides, once I enter a blessed land, I won't be the number one expert anymore; I'll just be an ordinary existence, someone countless people can trample on. So... no rush, no rush..."

Lin Chen was stunned; he hadn't expected Ji Yusheng to give such an answer.

Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix?
Lin Chen asked curiously, "But wouldn't entering a blessed land grant one a longer lifespan?"

Ji Yusheng sighed, "We definitely want to enter, but choosing a suitable blessed land is extremely important. It's like getting married; if you choose the wrong one, it's for life, and it's very difficult to turn things around." Lin Chen immediately became interested, "Are there many blessed lands?"

Ji Yusheng nodded: "There are ten major grotto-heavens, thirty-six minor grotto-heavens, and seventy-two blessed lands. Although some grotto-heavens and blessed lands have perished and no longer exist, there are still quite a few that remain. These grotto-heavens and blessed lands vary in size and strength..."

"You can think of these blessed lands as companies of different sizes. You are a job seeker, and there is only one person. You can only join one company, and you only have one chance. So naturally, you should choose a large company with strong capabilities and a large scale, where there is more room for advancement and more opportunities for promotion."

"I did have a few opportunities before, but the opponents weren't particularly strong, so I gave them up. I'll wait for the next opportunity. Anyway, if things go smoothly, I should still be able to live for several more decades. I still have time..."

Lin Chen suddenly realized that Ji Yusheng wasn't lacking opportunities to enter the blessed land; rather, he was being picky!

I told you, he's the number one expert in the innate realm, the number one in the human world. To say that he has no contact with blessed lands and can't even enter them would be too far-fetched.

As expected of the number one expert, he has such high aspirations!

Other cultivators, once they can enter a blessed land, don't care whether it's big or small, they just hurry in. But Ji Yusheng waits, he won't enter unless it's a large blessed land!
Lin Chen asked curiously, "What level of strength does the Kunlun Mountain Grotto-Heaven possess?"

"One of the Ten Great Grotto-Heavens".

Ji Yusheng looked at Lin Chen with a strange gaze: "Your father is from the Kunlun Mountain Grotto Heaven. If you have the opportunity to enter in the future, don't hesitate. I don't even have the chance to join now."

Lin Chen asked in surprise, "Don't they accept experts like the guild leader?"

Ji Yusheng smiled bitterly: "What are worldly experts in the eyes of cultivators? Moreover, cultivators value fate and luck even more. Didn't you encounter a master in Kunlun Mountain? That's fate too. It's a pity you were only a Grandmaster at the time. If you were a peak Innate Grandmaster, that master might have appreciated you and helped you break through to the Innate realm or allowed you to enter a blessed land. You would have turned your life upside down overnight..."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I'm already very satisfied with breaking through to the Innate Realm. I'm still young, and according to you, President, I have a long lifespan ahead of me. There should be another chance, right?"
