The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1364 This... I can't say it!
Lin Chen was numb.

One of the conditions that the Divine Sword Sect had offered him was that the sect leader would take on the role of his master in accepting disciples, making him the sect leader's junior brother and the junior uncle of the sect's younger generation. Lin Chen was tempted at first, but now he has become the junior uncle of the White Crane Immortal Sect's sect leader!

This is too exaggerated!

The most senior members of the White Crane Sect today are the Supreme Elders, who are the sect leader's uncles and grand-uncles. They are not numerous and generally do not participate in sect affairs. They mostly live in seclusion or wander the world, their whereabouts are unpredictable.

Below the Supreme Elder is the generation of Sect Master Meng Gongxin, including the peak masters of various peaks, the hall masters of various halls, and the elders of the sect. Zhou Ming, who previously brought Lin Chen to the White Crane Immortal Sect, is an outer sect elder.

Below the sect leader, the first-generation disciples have all grown up and are considered the backbone of the sect. Most of the elite disciples have reached the level of Human Immortal or above, while the second-generation disciples are mostly below Human Immortal.

In addition, there are a large number of outer disciples. They can only be considered as reserves of the White Crane Immortal Sect. Only when they cultivate to the Golden Core Realm will they be accepted into the inner sect and become the fourth generation disciples of the White Cloud Immortal Sect.

The entire White Crane Immortal Sect now has four generations of disciples, and Lin Chen, who is only in his thirties, has become the first generation!
A bunch of old guys of unknown age have to call Lin Chen Junior Brother, the sect leader and elders have to call Lin Chen Junior Uncle, and as a pillar of the generation of disciples, he has to respectfully call him Grandmaster Uncle!

This identity is absolutely top-tier!
Lin Chen was somewhat flattered and didn't know how to return the courtesy: "Sect Leader Meng, there's no need to be so polite, I..."

Meng Gongxin smiled slightly: "Junior Uncle, just call me by my name."

Lin Chen was very embarrassed.

"Okay, okay..."

This is something I can't bring myself to say.

Su Shaoling laughed heartily at the amusing scene, feeling a sense of mischievous triumph.

"Lin Chen, you are now the junior uncle of the White Crane Immortal Sect. Having inherited the Heavenly Sword, the responsibility of carrying the flag is entrusted to you. Don't tarnish the prestige of our Heavenly Sword Peak."

Lin Chen bowed respectfully: "Yes, Master!"

Su Shaoling looked around and chuckled, "That's excellent. You can handle the rest. I'm off!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Shaoling raised his hand, and his two fingers, which were filled with sword intent, touched his brow.

"boom!"

A burst of golden light erupted, and Su Shaoling's primordial spirit clone instantly shattered.

Lin Chen's eyes widened suddenly. Su Shaoling had destroyed his own primordial spirit clone? Su Wu seemed to see Lin Chen's confusion and explained softly, "When the master destroys his own primordial spirit clone, his true body can sense it. The clone's death naturally means the inheritance task is complete..."

Lin Chen suddenly realized.

Although the ability to send messages remains even after destroying oneself, this nonchalant and decisive approach is truly astonishing.

Why can't we just wait for his energy to run out and dissipate on its own?

That's ruthless.

Su Shaoling decisively killed himself, instantly escalating the awkward atmosphere at the scene.

Surrounded by such a large group of powerful figures, Lin Chen suddenly felt a little guilty and cautiously probed, "Sect Master..."

Meng Gongxin interrupted with a smile: "Just call me by my name."

Lin Chen looked embarrassed, so he simply said frankly, "I'm so young, and you are all seniors. I feel a little awkward addressing you. How about we compromise..."

Lin Chen glanced at Su Wu beside him. Su Wu had previously suggested that the sect leader take on the role of the master in accepting disciples, and that he himself become the sect leader's junior brother to inherit the Heavenly Sword legacy. This plan wasn't unreasonable.

Anyway, Su Shaoling's primordial spirit clone is dead. He himself will only know that there is someone who has inherited the legacy, but he will not know the specific details. Even if he did know, he probably wouldn't care. After all, he has been wandering around for thousands of years. Who knows which immortal realm he is wandering in?

Lin Chen brought this up himself, which was also a way of giving Meng Gongxin and the others a way out. If they were already very resistant to this, then they could just back down and the matter would be resolved.
Those senior elders are fine, since they don't manage affairs or interact with each other, so having another junior brother doesn't matter. But the sect leader, elders, hall masters, and the like are all powerful figures in the sect. Who would be willing to have such a young senior uncle suddenly?
However, Meng Gongxin's reaction was beyond Lin Chen's expectations. He cupped his hands and smiled, "This matter was decided by Grandmaster Uncle himself, so it is a fact. How can it be changed so easily? Junior Uncle, you don't need to feel embarrassed. When it comes to seniority, age is never a factor."

"Our grandmaster once suppressed the world with a single sword, and no one in the White Crane Immortal Sect dared to provoke him. Now that the sect has declined, no one has the same prestige as our grandmaster. Now that you, junior uncle, have inherited the Heavenly Sword legacy and shoulder the responsibility of restoring the sect's prestige, we will do our utmost to assist you and work together to make the White Crane Immortal Sect shine again!"

Lin Chen's gaze swept over them, and surprisingly, he didn't see any disdain or displeasure, only excitement, trust, and anticipation.

A surge of warmth welled up in Lin Chen's heart. He knew very well that they trusted him not because of his outstanding performance, but because he was Su Shaoling's chosen successor.

They trusted Su Shaoling's judgment!

They believed they could become as powerful as Su Shaoling!
