The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1291 Before, there were choices; now there are none!

His bones contracted, his muscles adjusted, and Lin Chen transformed into an unfamiliar middle-aged man at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lin Chen looked at himself in the mirror, nodded in satisfaction, and then silently circulated his inner energy. His aura quickly subsided, and his entire demeanor instantly became ordinary and unremarkable, just like any cultivator you could find anywhere in the desolate world.

Unremarkable.

Given that the Mystic Immortal Island is now actively plundering talented young cultivators, Lin Chen has taken some precautions to remain hidden.

He didn't want to be recognized or attract too much attention.

He simply went in to find people and rescue them, then escaped from the Enchanted Island.

As for amnesia?
Lin Chen couldn't care less.

Lin Chen used to have a choice, but now he doesn't.

As long as people are safe, if they really have to lose their memories, then so be it.

At least their life memories are "archived" by Qiao Wei and Gu Yuexi, so they won't be completely lost and trapped in the deadlock of "who am I" after losing their memories.

Moreover, there are powerful beings like Qi and Fairy Xuanji, so even if they encounter misfortune, they might be able to recover.

Lin Chen leaped into the air and approached the Enchanted Fairy Island.

Soon, the Enchanted Island came into view, but a barrier blocked Lin Chen's path.

The barrier emitted a soft white light, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace.

White mist swirled around the barrier, obscuring the view of the island's interior.

Lin Chen approached the barrier, but was blocked by a gentle force, unable to get any closer, let alone enter.

Having made his decision, Lin Chen no longer hesitated, took out the Bewitching Immortal Token, and stretched it towards the barrier.

Suddenly, a pure white light shone from the otherwise quiet Enchanting Token, transforming into streaks of white light that extended beyond the barrier. However, Lin Chen could not see what happened after that.

After a few seconds, the white light on the Enchanting Token suddenly surged, enveloping Lin Chen completely. At the same time, Lin Chen felt a not-so-strong pulling force.

Lin Chen's body was pulled towards the barrier in front of him. The barrier, which was originally untouchable, suddenly seemed to become ethereal. Lin Chen's entire body crashed into the barrier and then passed through it.

Lin Chen suddenly understood.

He floated in mid-air, looking down at the earth.

In front of him stood a majestic mountain peak, not very high, but very imposing. Below the peak was a cluster of houses, mostly wooden, like a village hidden in the mountains.

Outside the village, all kinds of flowers bloom in competition, creating a dazzling and beautiful scene, like a sea of ​​flowers.

Besides the flowering plants, there was also a peach grove, with peach blossoms everywhere, full of vitality. The air was incredibly fresh. Lin Chen took a couple of breaths, then suddenly came to his senses, his eyes wide with surprise.

Fairy spirit!

This place was filled with a rich aura of immortals!
A mystical aura, swirling white mist, flowers everywhere—a paradise on earth, peaceful and serene.

All of this seems to suggest that this place is extraordinary. Could there really be immortals here?
If such a person is an immortal, why does he not reside in the immortal realm, but instead live in seclusion in this desolate world?

If they are immortals, why have they not appeared in this place even though the wilderness has been searching for their traces for ten thousand years?

As Lin Chen was wondering, the binding force on his body came again.

Lin Chen looked down and saw that the light on the Bewitching Immortal Token was like tangible lines that extended all the way to an ancient-looking stone tablet in the village.

Lin Chen was enveloped in the light of the Bewitching Immortal Token, and then guided by the ancient stone tablet, he flew rapidly toward the stone tablet.

Behind Lin Chen, the barrier that had suddenly become like ripples had now returned to its original state.

Soon, Lin Chen's body fell directly from the sky and landed in front of the stone tablet.

The ancient stone tablet bears two large, elegant characters, exuding a sense of ethereal beauty.

Forget your worries.

Lin Chen's eyes swept across the entire village, his gaze filled with doubt. Where were they?

The houses here don't look old, and there aren't many signs of abandonment, so they must be inhabited.

Most importantly, what about Chu Jiaxue!

Lin Chen knew he couldn't possibly see Chu Jiaxue at first glance, but everything here, peaceful and serene yet exuding a sense of deathly stillness, made Lin Chen feel something was off.

"squeak!"

The wooden gate of a small courtyard not far away was opened, and an old man with a refined and otherworldly air, dressed in hemp clothing, appeared at the door, smiling at Lin Chen.

"It's been a long time since we've had any guests in our Forget-Worry Village."

Lin Chen turned his head, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Senior, I am new here and apologize for any inconvenience caused."

The old man casually waved his hand, and the Bewitching Token, whose white light was gradually dimming, flew over and landed in his hand. He laughed and said, "Our place is usually very quiet, with few guests, which makes it a bit less lively. We are overjoyed when guests come, so what's wrong with that?"

Lin Chen looked around and cautiously probed, "This island is indeed quite quiet. Is there really no one living here?"

The old man smiled slightly: "Of course there are, but there aren't many. Come, follow me."
