The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 645 Who do you think you are?

"Brother Lin, have you decided to enter the secret realm?"

Inside the restaurant, Situ Xiu, holding a wine glass, asked curiously, "Are you alone, or are you planning to team up with someone?"

Lin Chen looked up: "Who are you teaming up with?"

Situ Xiu smiled and said, "Exploring the secret realm is quite dangerous, so many people choose to team up. Although the rewards from the expedition may be less, the safety is much higher. Since you are a Golden Core cultivator, you are quite popular if you want to form a team."

Lin Chen shook his head: "Forget it, we're unfamiliar with this place, and cooperating with others would be quite troublesome."

Situ Xiu nodded: "Then you must not go too deep, the monsters deep in the secret realm are extremely powerful."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "How strong is it?"

Situ Xiu chuckled: "It is said that the cave master once ventured deep into the secret realm and encountered a golden roc. They fought a great battle, and although he won, he was said to be seriously injured."

Lin Chen's eyes widened in shock as he asked, "That amazing?"

Situ Xiu nodded: "That's right. Every time there's a Spirit Rhinoceros Storm, countless wild beasts turn into demonic beasts, and the original demonic beasts become even more powerful. Those demonic beasts in the deepest part have gone through countless Spirit Rhinoceros Storms, so it's only natural that they are so strong."

Lin Chen nodded and casually asked, "Are you going?"

Situ Xiu nodded: "I'll also go in for a stroll, but I'm just going to try my luck near the entrance, so I won't hold you back."

Okay, best of luck!

After the two finished their meal, they rode a crane to the entrance of the secret realm.

The crane flew over a hundred miles and then landed at the mouth of a valley.

There were already many people waiting here, young and old, men and women, at least several hundred people.

Lin Chen exclaimed, "So many people, it's quite lively."

Situ Xiu smiled and said, "The first batch of people to go in naturally have the highest probability of getting good things. These are all people who are confident in their own strength. Those who are weaker will enter after a day or two. Although the probability of getting good things is greatly reduced after the first batch of people have gone in, the danger is also greatly reduced."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "The risks and benefits are proportional to those of pioneers and followers."

"Situ Xiu!"

As the clear female voice rang out, Situ Xiu's expression suddenly changed, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips.

Lin Chen looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall, beautiful woman in her late twenties staring coldly at Situ Xiu with an unfriendly expression.

"Liu Yuan!" Situ Xiu whispered, and Lin Chen suddenly realized, wasn't this the one Situ Xiu had run away from?

It's quite pretty!
Situ Xiu turned her head, a bright yet helpless expression on her face: "Miss Liu, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

Liu Yuan walked over with her arms crossed, accompanied by three men. They looked at Situ Xiu with subtle expressions, a hint of hostility in their eyes.

"Thanks to you, everyone knows that I was rejected by a man. Do you think I can live a good life?"

Situ Xiu apologized with a wry smile: "I'm sorry."

Liu Yuan sneered: "Is an apology all it takes? Do you know how many people have laughed at me? Do you know what they've been saying about me?"

Situ Xiu explained tactfully, "Miss Liu, we originally had no relationship. I felt ashamed and unworthy of Miss Liu, so I refused the marriage proposal. Please don't take this to heart."

"Hmph! That's easy for you to say, but don't think I don't know what you're really thinking."

Liu Yuan made a sarcastic remark about Situ Xiu, then her gaze fell on Lin Chen: "I heard you've made a friend, a newcomer from out of town?"

Situ Xiu complained again: "Brother Lin only treated me to a meal because he saw me pitifully eating noodles. How can he be considered a friend?"

Lin Chen almost burst out laughing when he saw this scene.

Situ Xiu is so pitiful.

She deliberately showed weakness, took the blame, played the victim, and even dared not admit that she and he were friends in order not to implicate herself.

Of course, strictly speaking, my relationship with him can't really be called friendship; we can only be described as strangers who get along quite well.

Liu Yuan sneered, "The eldest son of the Situ family can't even afford to eat meat, how pitiful! Why don't you kneel down in front of everyone today and tell everyone that you are not good enough for me, and I will let bygones be bygones and never bother you again, and you can go back to being the young master of the Situ family, how about that?"

Situ Xiu's expression turned slightly cold, with anger flashing in her eyes, and her voice hardened: "Miss Liu, don't push your luck!"

Liu Yuan sneered, "What do you mean by pushing your luck? Wasn't it you who ruined my reputation?"

Situ Xiu gritted her teeth and said, "You were the one who proposed the marriage. I never agreed to it. Just because you've taken a liking to me doesn't mean I have to marry you and can't refuse you. Who do you think you are?"

Liu Yuan's face flushed red.

Situ Xiu's words were no less than a slap across her face. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Liu Yuan felt utterly humiliated and disgraced.

"Situ Xiu, you're asking for death!"
