The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1381 You are luckier and happier than me

"tell a story?"

A strange look appeared on Li Yongzhi's face again; this little guy didn't seem to be afraid of him much.

"You seem unafraid of me because you're sure I won't kill you or harm you?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "No, it's just that my childhood experiences are different from most people's. Although I respect the strong, I don't have that kind of humility in my bones."

Li Yongzhi cracked his neck and laughed, "Alright, since you've woken me up from here, and since we're just killing time anyway, why don't you tell me about your life? You're so young, how much experience can you possibly have?"

Lin Chen sat down cross-legged and laughed, "I am not from the Immortal Realm. I come from the Human Realm, which is the Desolate Realm. Above the Desolate Realm lies the Thunder Immortal Domain..."

Lin Chen's words immediately caught Li Yongzhi's attention. Lin Chen explained the differences between the human realm, the desolate realm, and the immortal realm, then talked about his own life, finally about his engagement with Chu Jiaxue, and then about Gu Yuexi. He talked all the way from the human realm to the desolate realm, to the Human Emperor, to ascension, joining the White Crane Immortal Sect, and becoming the great-great-grand-uncle of these disciples.

"That's how it is. Although I'm young, only in my thirties, I've become their great-great-grandmaster..."

Li Yongzhi looked somewhat wistful: "Both of your wives are separated now?"

Lin Chen nodded: "The path to immortality is long and ruthless. In order not to abandon each other, we must work together and make progress together. This temporary separation is also for the sake of spending more time together in the future."

Li Yongzhi was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly sighed: "You're luckier than me..."

Lin Chen blinked: "What do you mean by that, senior?"

Li Yongzhi turned his head to look into the black stone coffin, his eyes gentle, and said softly, "There were times when your feelings for each other were unclear, but you ultimately chose to face them bravely, speak your minds, not be afraid of other people's opinions, and bravely come together, which is why you have the happiness you have now."

“I’m not like you. If she and I had been braver and clearer back then, perhaps we wouldn’t have broken up and there wouldn’t have been this tragedy.”

Lin Chen said frankly, "If Senior Li doesn't consider me an outsider, I'd be willing to listen to the stories of the two seniors. After all, when I saw the stone tablet, the two sentences on it made me think a lot..." Li Yongzhi was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, you are different from many people I've met. Perhaps, as you said, the world you came from is different, which makes you different from others."

"My story with Chen Cuiting is actually quite cliché and melodramatic. We met when we were very young and had feelings for each other, but our families were not well-matched, which made it difficult for us to be together at the time."

“I was ridiculed by her family, who said I was not good enough for her. I was so angry that I left without saying goodbye. I had originally planned to go back to see her after I had achieved some success, so I left without saying goodbye.”

"At that time, I chose to join a major sect, hoping to make a name for myself in that sect and thus gain the right to be with her. My idea was not wrong, and my direction in life was not wrong either. Unfortunately, I made a mistake by leaving at the wrong time and by not opening my heart to her before leaving."

“I was outstanding in the sect and had a bright future. I returned home in glory, but I learned that she had also run away from home shortly after I left, saying that she was going to find me.”

"The world is so vast. I didn't say where I was going when I left, so how could she find me? We lost contact."

"I was heartbroken. Years later, I accepted my master's arrangement and got together with the daughter of an elder in the sect. We became Daoist partners. However, not long after we got together, I met her again at a sect gathering."

"It turns out she also joined a cultivation sect, and our two sects aren't too far apart. Knowing that I had become a cultivator, she hoped to find me on the path of cultivation someday. Unfortunately, a misunderstanding led to terrible consequences."

"When she saw me and found out I was already married, she remained very calm, offered me her congratulations in a nonchalant manner, and then left lightly. I was speechless with emotion. I thought she had already let me go, didn't like me, and didn't care about me. I could only keep all my sorrow to myself."

"Not long after returning to the sect, she also found a Daoist partner through the sect's arrangement. He was a very strong and older genius within the sect. Later, we both had children, and from then on, we gradually became two lines that never intersected again."

"My wife comes from a prestigious family and has a rather strong personality. Over the years, many conflicts arose, which eventually erupted. We had a major battle, which left us both badly hurt, and in the end, we chose to separate."

"Coincidentally, Chen Cuiting's life was not smooth either. Her husband was originally a promising young man with a bright future. However, his inner demons erupted during his cultivation, causing him to go astray. From then on, he became irritable and restless, often doing incomprehensible things, and he would attack Chen Cuiting, often leaving her covered in injuries."

“I learned about this by chance and decided to kill her husband. Regardless of whether Chen Cuiting ever loved me, I must take responsibility for my mistakes…”
