The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1283 You're quite cautious!

It’s tricky!
As Zhao Lan said, as a formal disciple of the Xuanfeng Sect, she naturally had the right to bring guests into Penglai, but now she was being blocked outside the mountain gate.

Are disciples of Penglai not allowed to enter Penglai?
Although the old man's explanation was somewhat acceptable, wouldn't turning away the guest be even more impolite?

Lin Chen felt a little anxious, but he remained calm.

If something were to happen, it would have already happened; a little more time won't make a difference.

"Haha, Mr. Lin, it's been a long time..."

As laughter rang out, Guo Yuanhai, the sect leader of the Diyuan Sect who had met Lin Chen before, stepped forward, followed by two middle-aged men with blank expressions.

Lin Chen's eyes changed slightly. Wasn't he supposed to report to the cave master?

How could it be Guo Yuanhai?
Lin Chen's grudge against him is no small matter!

His personal disciple, An Ziwu, who was originally the most outstanding genius disciple of Penglai, plotted against him in the Valley of Death. As a result, he was punched into the red mist and died. Even his primordial spirit could not escape. Guo Yuanhai hated him to the bone.

Chu Jiaxue is a disciple of the Xuanfeng Sect. Today, she was brought back by Zhao Lan, another disciple of the Xuanfeng Sect. Even if it weren't for her status as the Human Emperor, the Penglai Cave Master should have come out to greet her. It should have been Chen Meifeng, the sect master of the Xuanfeng Sect, who came forward. Why was it Guo Yuanhai?
Lin Chen was puzzled, but his face remained impassive. He smiled slightly and said, "Sect Leader Guo, hello. I've only come to the Xuanfeng Sect to visit my wife. How could I ask you to personally come out to greet me..."

Guo Yuanhai smiled and said, "The cave master and the other sect masters are discussing an important matter and cannot leave for the time being. I have met Mr. Lin before and we are old acquaintances, so I will receive Mr. Lin."

Lin Chen looked enlightened and said, "Actually, I'm here for a private visit, there's no need for all that trouble."

"It should."

Guo Yuanhai greeted him with a warm smile: "Mr. Lin, you are the Human Emperor. I have heard about your fight against the demon army on the front lines. I admire you greatly... Mr. Lin, and who are these gentlemen?"

The Xuanfeng Sect received the news but did not send anyone to investigate, which was already suspicious. Therefore, Lin Chen had Ji Ruxue and the other three wear masks and conceal their auras, just in case.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "My subordinate."

Guo Yuanhai said "Oh," and then smiled, "Mr. Lin, please follow me."

Lin Chen led his men through the mountain gate with Guo Yuanhai, who led the way, saying, "They are all in the main hall. Please follow me."

The scenery before Lin Chen changed. The huge island was like a continent, with many towering peaks that reached into the clouds, like sharp swords piercing the sky, creating a magnificent sight.

Lin Chen followed Guo Yuanhai as they flew forward, but suddenly Ji Ruxue's voice echoed in his mind.

"Boss, the entrance is sealed off." A cold glint flashed in Lin Chen's eyes; it seemed something really had happened on Penglai Island.

The sealed formation is like trapping a turtle in a jar, just like when I was at the Three Ghost Gates.

Could it be that there's been internal strife in Penglai?

Lin Chen transmitted a message in his mind: "Be careful, observe the situation."

They flew up to a giant peak, where a magnificent complex of buildings lay before them, one of which was a particularly splendid hall, resembling a celestial palace in the clouds.

"Mr. Lin, please!"

Lin Chen stood at the entrance of the main hall, but did not move.

The main hall of a sect is often the most important place and a landmark building of a sect, representing the face of a sect leader. For this reason, the main hall of a sect will be protected by a separate array, which is standard for every sect.

"Sect Leader Guo, you said that the Penglai Cave Master, Sect Leader Chen, and others are all in the main hall..."

Guo Yuanhai smiled warmly: "Yes, everyone is discussing the matter of merging clans. Mr. Lin, please come in. You've come at the perfect time. You can give us some advice."

Lin Chen remained motionless, but instead cupped his hands in greeting and shouted, "Human Emperor Lin Chen has come to pay a visit!"

Lin Chen's voice, like muffled thunder, rolled out and carried far and wide, clearly audible throughout the entire Penglai Island.

Guo Yuanhai's expression changed slightly: "They are all waiting for Mr. Lin inside. Please come in."

Lin Chen snorted coldly, "They have such high and mighty attitudes. They didn't even utter a sound when I visited them."

Guo Yuanhai's smile gradually cooled, and his expression turned indifferent: "Mr. Lin, what do you mean by that?"

Lin Chen turned his head and stared coldly at Guo Yuanhai: "Sect Master Guo, I killed your personal disciple, the title of the Son of Penglai changed hands, and all your plans failed. You hate me to the bone, but now you are smiling at me. This is very abnormal."

Guo Yuanhai stopped laughing and stared coldly at Lin Chen: "You're quite cautious."

Lin Chen said coldly, "It was clearly a disciple of the Xuanfeng Sect who brought me back. Even if someone should be receiving me, it should be Sect Master Chen or the Cave Master. It shouldn't be Sect Master Guo, who has a grudge against me, yet you smiled at me so happily and were so enthusiastic..."

Lin Chen's gaze swept across the grand hall before him, his expression growing increasingly cold: "Your happiness doesn't seem like welcoming me, but rather like watching me deliver myself to your doorstep, so you can finally get your revenge..."
