The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 569 I thought I'd encountered a scammer.

"Maybe it's because I'm good-looking."

Lin Chen answered with a smile, and it was clear that Guo Tang was still quite afraid of Ji Yusheng.

The title of being the best in Kyushu is still quite intimidating.

Guo Tang's eyes turned fierce: "I heard he has dealings with people from the Kunlun Mountain Grotto-Heaven. Your father is from the Kunlun Mountain Grotto-Heaven. What, does he want to get ahead of us?"

Did Ji Yusheng have dealings with the Kunlun Mountain Cave Heaven?

Lin Chen suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

Kunlun Mountain Grotto Heaven is ranked among the top ten grotto heavens. It is a "big company" with promising prospects and room for advancement in Ji Yusheng's words. Perhaps Ji Yusheng really intends to join Kunlun Mountain Grotto Heaven, which is why he is taking such good care of himself.

As Guo Tang said, he helped him in the mortal world and left a favor. When he entered the Kunlun Mountain Grotto-Heaven in the future, with this favor, he might be able to establish a relationship with his father's side, so that he would not be isolated and helpless when he first entered the Grotto-Heaven.

Ji Yusheng wasn't telling himself the truth.

Lin Chen smiled. He said this only to provoke Guo Tang, and had no other purpose.

Since Guo Tang was determined to kill Lin Chen, Lin Chen naturally wouldn't show him any mercy.

"I'm done eating, you eat slowly."

Lin Chen stood up and left gracefully, ignoring Guo Tang's unpleasant expression.

After breakfast, Lin Chen and the others went to the pier and boarded a luxury cruise ship to Qingli Island.

Qingli Island is not large, but its scenery is absolutely stunning. It is said that the island belongs to Ji Yusheng and is used to entertain guests. Therefore, it is often said that being able to set foot on Qingli Island is a testament to one's status and an honor.

Lin Chen had been looking at the list of attendees. In addition to the forty-nine formal and probationary members, there were twenty-one other guests like Lin Chen.

As Lin Chen was gazing at the beautiful scenery where the sea and sky met, a piercing sound suddenly came from beside him.

"Lin Chen, you are only twenty-seven years old, and your strength has just been promoted to the Innate Realm. You have neither strength nor prestige. I don't know what makes you worthy of being a guest of the Nine Provinces Gathering?"

Lin Chen turned his head and saw an elderly man with silver hair staring at him with a gloomy gaze, his eyes filled with undisguised provocation.

Lin Chen was stunned. Such direct hostility?

"who are you?"

The old man replied, "The Zhou family of Canghe, Zhou Jiyuan."

Lin Chen frowned: "I don't think I've ever had any dealings with the Zhou family of Canghe. Have I offended you?" An old man next to him smiled and said: "Mr. Lin, Zhou Jiyuan and Liu Xuansong, the patriarch of the Liu family of Xijing, are very good friends."

Lin Chen suddenly realized, and cupped his hands in thanks to the man who had spoken: "Thank you for your guidance, sir. Otherwise, I would still be confused and might encounter someone trying to scam me in the future."

The old man returned the greeting with clasped hands: "He Heng, from the Shuiyun Sect of Xijing."

Lin Chen smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Zhou Jiyuan: "I have not offended you, yet you provoke me. What, are you trying to stand up for the dead Liu Xuansong?"

Zhou Jiyuan sneered: "I'm just stating the facts. What, you can come, but I can't speak?"

Lin Chen turned his head and smiled, "Of course I can talk. I heard the president has a rule against private fights, so we can only use our words, right?"

A burst of laughter immediately erupted around them. Lin Chen's words were ostensibly about the rules of the Nine Provinces Society, but in reality, he was mocking Zhou Jiyuan for only daring to talk the talk.

Zhou Jiyuan's face immediately turned red. Everyone here was a prominent figure. How could he save face by being mocked by a young man in his twenties?
"Arrogant brat, do you dare to fight me?"

Lin Chen turned to He Heng, who had just given him pointers, and asked, "Mr. He, is it okay to fight during a meeting?"

He Heng replied with a smile, "If it's a duel between mutual consent, then of course it's allowed. Prohibiting private duels means prohibiting unilateral attacks..."

He Heng glanced at Guo Tang, who was watching coldly from a distance: "For example, Sect Leader Guo, if you are willing, you can also have a duel with Sect Leader Guo, but if you are not willing, Sect Leader Guo cannot forcibly deal with you during the meeting."

Guo Tang sneered: "If he dares, I'll kill him right now."

Lin Chen chuckled, ignoring Guo Tang's words. In front of everyone, based on their actual strength, he was at a disadvantage and had a low probability of winning against Guo Tang. However, if they used underhanded tactics in private, things could be different.

"I wonder how this person compares to Guo Tang in terms of strength?"

Zhou Jiyuan's expression changed slightly: "Compared to Sect Master Guo, I am certainly inferior."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "If I agree to fight you, what will you do? Are you going to teach me a lesson, or are you going to kill me? Or rather, even if you can kill me, do you dare to kill me?"

Zhou Jiyuan's face flushed red, and he immediately felt embarrassed.

He had a good relationship with Liu Xuansong. Liu Xuansong and Liu Xuangang were killed by Lin Chen's wife, Chu Jiaxue. Zhou Jiyuan naturally hated Chu Jiaxue, and Lin Chen, as Chu Jiaxue's husband, naturally hated him as well.

He mocked Lin Chen for his lack of experience and strength in an attempt to humiliate him, but in reality, he was just venting his anger and didn't really intend to do anything to Lin Chen. After all, Lin Chen's wife, Chu Jiaxue, could even injure Guo Tang and kill Liu Xuansong and Liu Xuangang in a one-against-two fight, which made her extremely powerful.

But he didn't expect Lin Chen to speak such a blunt truth right away, which left him pinned against the wall and unable to get down...
