The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1373 One must be reasonable in one's conduct and actions.
"What do you say now?"

In response to Lin Chen's question, Gongsun Hai turned his head and said, "Big brother, I'll hold off that scorpion, you go and pick it!"

Gongsun Tu, his face cold and his tone crisp and decisive, replied, "Fine!"

Gongsun Hai threw out a small bell, which flew up and hovered above Gongsun Hai's head. A golden bell shadow fell down and enveloped him.

He flew towards the scorpion, while Gongsun Tu swooped down from the sky towards the full-moon peach tree.

The scorpion sprang out of the grass again, attacking Gongsun Hai and crashing directly into the golden bell shadow. The golden bell shadow seemed to be tangible, making a loud thud.

Gongsun Hai pointed a finger, and a sharp sword aura struck the black scorpion directly, producing a sound like metal clashing.

This sword energy could pierce through even a mountain peak, but it couldn't penetrate the scorpion's carapace; it only sent the scorpion flying.

The scorpion landed back on the ground, rolled over, and charged at Gongsun Hai again.

"What kind of scorpion is this? It's so small, yet so powerful! Even this sword energy couldn't hurt it!"

Liu Qianyun gasped in shock, her gaze falling once more on Gongsun Tu, who was seizing the opportunity to quickly pick the full-month peaches. Her eyes suddenly became anxious.

"He's already picked more than half of the baby peaches, and he's still picking!"

Lin Chen said calmly, "We shouldn't bother two people with one thing. We can share the harvest with him after he's finished picking them. That's the same thing."

Liu Qianyun looked anxious and whispered, "Once the stuff is in their pockets, they might not be willing to share it with us!"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "We agreed to split it 50/50. We should be reasonable, shouldn't we?"

Liu Qianyun was helpless; she couldn't do it alone, so she could only watch as Gongsun Tu picked all the full-moon peaches and put them into his spatial ring.

In the distance, Zhuo Fan muttered under his breath, "That idiot actually believed the Gongsun brothers! Once the baby peaches are in their pockets, it's like money going into a Pixiu's belly—gone without a trace!"

Qi Jun's gaze fell on Lin Chen, and he frowned: "That kid looks very young, but he is actually the first generation of the White Crane Immortal Sect. This matter is probably not simple."

Zhuo Fan sneered: "Even if he's not simple, he's just a human immortal. I think he's stupid. Once Brother Gongsun leaves, we'll follow him and take them down!"

Qi Jun nodded: "Let's see first. The White Crane Immortal Sect also has two Human Immortals. They won't let them just swagger away like that."

Zhuo Fan laughed and said, "It would be best to fight first, so that both sides are injured and we can take advantage of the situation later."

In the valley, Gongsun Tu inspected the full-moon peach trees, and after confirming that nothing was left behind, a smug smirk appeared on his lips. The people from the White Crane Immortal Sect were just watching obediently, without interfering or causing any trouble. Haha, do they really believe they'll share it equally with them?
We're both immortals, so who's afraid of whom?
Gongsun Tu turned his head and said, "Alright, we've got the Full Moon Peach, no need to get entangled with the scorpion anymore."

Gongsun Hai abandoned his attack on the scorpion and retreated. The scorpion shrank back into the grass and did not continue the pursuit, seemingly not very clever.

Gongsun Tu stared at Lin Chen with a forced smile: "Friends from the White Crane Immortal Sect, we've been fighting monsters and picking fruit, so we've certainly put in the work. You haven't done anything, yet you want to share the peaches. That's a bit unreasonable, isn't it?"

Liu Qianyun said coldly, "What, do you want to take it all for yourselves?"

Gongsun Tu sneered, "Isn't it only right to collect a little trouble fee? How about this, I'll give you three Full Moon Peaches, and we'll resolve this peacefully, how about that?"

Liu Qianyun retorted angrily, "Are you trying to fob us off? This tree has at least thirty full-moon peaches. If we each take half, we'll get at least fifteen..."

"Eighteen."

Lin Chen interrupted Liu Qianyun and said with a smile, "I just counted them, there are thirty-six in total."

Gongsun Tu sneered: "We took such a big risk, and you just stood there watching the show, and you still want to split it equally? Dream on. There are only three. Take it or leave it. If you don't want them, there won't be any left."

Lin Chen said calmly, "We just agreed to split it 50/50. We should be reasonable in our dealings with others."

Gongsun Tu laughed loudly: "Reason? Whoever has the bigger fist is right. The Full Moon Peach is in my hands now. If you have the ability, come and take it. If you don't, then shut up!"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take it!"

Both Gongsun Tu and Gongsun Hai froze. Although they looked normal and even had a few smiles on their faces, for some reason, a strange unease suddenly welled up in their hearts.

What is this kid going to do?
Lin Chen turned his head and said, "How about I leave the last one to you?"

Liu Qianyun's eyes lit up. This grandmaster uncle really didn't waste a single word. He was so decisive and so cool!
"Okay, I'll take care of him. I'm not sure I can win, but I can definitely hold him off!"

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "That's enough."

Lin Chen's gaze passed over Liu Qianyun and landed on the others: "You guys stay away and be careful."

After giving his instructions, Lin Chen drew his Three Provinces Sword and smiled at Gongsun Tu.

"Be careful, I'm coming to get it!"
