The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1358 Sincerity? Useless
Su Wu cleaned up all the bamboo leaves before gathering the bamboo branches together and starting to tie them with vines.

He had clearly made countless brooms; his movements were incredibly skillful, not particularly fast, but they possessed a fluid beauty, as if he were not just making a broom, but a remarkable work of art.

Soon, a sturdy, beautiful, and durable broom was made.

Su Wu stood up, picked up the broom, looked at it for a few moments, nodded in satisfaction, and then used it to sweep all the bamboo leaves he had picked earlier out of the yard.

Su Wu walked back, leaned the broom against the wall, and then looked Lin Chen up and down.

"You're not from the White Crane Immortal Sect?"

Lin Chen cupped his hands in greeting: "Greetings, Senior Su. I am Lin Chen, from the Wilderness Realm. I am currently a guest of the White Crane Immortal Sect and have not yet joined it."

"The Wilderness Realm?"

Su Wu looked slightly surprised and dusted off his hands: "You came for the Heavenly Sword?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "For the first three months, I was reading in the library. Now that I've finished reading, I've heard about Senior Su's glorious deeds, so I've come to pay my respects."

Su Wu's expression was indifferent: "It's a desolate wilderness, everything has changed, there's nothing to see here."

After Su Wu finished speaking, he ignored Lin Chen and turned to go into the house.

Lin Chen cupped his hands in greeting and asked politely, "Senior Su, may I wander around a bit?"

Su Wu paused, then coldly uttered two words: "Whatever."

Lin Chen politely thanked him, "Thank you, senior."

Su Wu's indifferent attitude didn't bother Lin Chen; in fact, he thought it was quite normal.

It's already quite an achievement for someone to live on this mountain for thousands of years without going insane; being a bit cold-hearted is not a problem at all.

Besides, I'm not even a member of the White Crane Immortal Sect, and I'm just a young junior who came uninvited. Why should they be polite to me?

After obtaining Su Wu's permission, Lin Chen began to explore the barren mountain peak.

This stroll lasted for two or three hours.

He explored all the places he could, but didn't experience any special sensations.

Lin Chen was not disappointed at all.

For thousands of years, countless chosen ones and powerful figures have come here in search of inheritance, but none have succeeded. If someone were to come here and find it after just one visit, that would truly be a miracle.

It was already afternoon when Lin Chen returned to the cabin. Without saying a word, he bowed to the cabin, left some gifts he had prepared beforehand, and then turned to descend the mountain. He chose to walk as always.

A whole day passes by in the process of going up and down the mountain, plus the time spent wandering around on the mountain.

Nothing gained.

In the days that followed, Lin Chen would climb the mountain once a day, stay on the mountain for about an hour, and then come down. He would also bring Su Wu some food such as fine wine and spiritual fruits from time to time.

"Giving me things is useless. I am just a sword servant, dull-witted and incapable of wielding the Heavenly Sword. In all these thousands of years, I still haven't figured out where my master's legacy lies..."

Lin Chen replied with a smile, "I know. I'm not giving these things to learn anything or get any guidance. It's just an apology for disturbing you, senior, since I came uninvited."

Su Wu didn't say much: "Whatever you want. Anyway, they've searched every crevice in the rocks on this mountain. Look if you want."

Lin Chen looked at the spotless, dark stone steps and smiled, "Thank you, senior."

Su Wu noticed where Lin Chen's gaze fell and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Everyone else flies up here, why do you walk? Is it to show your sincerity? I'm the only one on this mountain. No matter how sincere you are, it's useless. I'll say it again, I don't know the Heavenly Sword. No matter how much I admire you, I can't help you."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Firstly, it's out of respect for the two seniors, and secondly, I'm not planning to cultivate right now, so I'm just using this to exercise my blood and improve my physical condition."

Lin Chen didn't cultivate for two reasons: firstly, he wanted to calm down and take a break; secondly, the Seed of the Strange Phenomenon was constantly draining his nutrients, which was making it difficult for Lin Chen's heart to cope. Under these circumstances, it was clearly not suitable for him to cultivate.

Climbing the mountain was not much of a strain for Lin Chen, who possessed the physique of an immortal, but it did help to improve blood circulation and distract him. Moreover, Lin Chen felt comfortable walking on the long black stone steps, whether it was an illusion or not.

Lin Chen was prepared to live such a life before the Seed of the Otherworld was fully integrated.

Relaxing, comfortable, and good for your health.

As for staying at the White Crane Immortal Sect, it was a favor, and Lin Chen would naturally remember it.

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Chen would chat with Su Wu for a few minutes every day he went up the mountain.

Su Wu's attitude changed considerably, from initially ignoring him, to later saying a few lukewarm words, and then to chatting casually with him.

That day, Lin Chen took a walk around the mountain as usual, and when he saw that it was almost time, he prepared to go down the mountain.

Su Wu suddenly spoke up: "Aren't you tired of going up and down the mountain every day? There's an empty house here. If you'd like, you can stay here and have more time to wander around..."

Lin Chen was taken aback for a moment, and said in surprise, "I'm not a disciple of the sect, so I can still stay at Heavenly Sword Peak?"
