The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1394 Though young in age, his spirit is boundless.

"How strong is the Haotian Sect?"

Meng Gongxin replied, "They were not as good as us before, especially during the time when our grandmaster was alive. They didn't dare to say a word. Once, someone from their sect offended our grandmaster, so our grandmaster stormed the sect and cleaved the fifth peak where that person was with a single sword. From then on, the five peaks of Haotian became the four peaks of Haotian."

"Since our grandmaster left, our sect has not produced any outstanding geniuses. Although we have not fallen to the level of an ordinary force, we are far inferior to our glorious past."

"As Junior Uncle probably knows, a sect needs a large number of talented disciples to develop, but what truly makes a sect untouchable often depends on the strength of its most powerful member."

“My master and grandmaster were both geniuses, capable of carrying the glory of a sect on their own. But with the passing of my grandmaster and the accident that happened to my master, although I succeeded as sect leader, I lack their talent and am unable to carry forward the sect.”

“The development of a sect is like rowing against the current; if you don’t advance, you fall behind. We are on a downward slope, while the Haotian Sect has produced several geniuses in succession, and its strength is rising day by day. Now it has already subtly surpassed our sect. Perhaps that’s why they dare to be so aggressive.”

"They are targeting you because they have seen your terrifying potential. Given time, the White Crane Immortal Sect will rise again because of you. Based on our enmity, it is hard to guarantee that the Haotian Sect will not be in trouble at that time. So they are using despicable means to try to nip you in the bud."

Lin Chen thought for a moment and said, "In that case, let's talk about seeking justice another time. Even if we go to the Haotian Sect, they can easily claim that it was Wu Ying's personal behavior. Wu Ying is dead, so they can't explain anything. Besides, their strength is not weaker than ours, so it's no use arguing with them."

Meng Gongxin hesitated: "But they want to kill you, are we just going to do nothing?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "If they had killed me, I would have been dead anyway, so it wouldn't have mattered. Now that they failed, and Elder Wu Ying was killed by me, I didn't suffer any loss. Peak True Immortals are not ordinary people, and they are probably heartbroken right now."

Meng Gongxin said with certainty, "That's for sure. A peak True Immortal is already a very powerful expert. It's naturally heartbreaking to lose one like this."

Lin Chen nodded: "Since we don't have the strength of Master back then, let's just remember this for now and settle the score when we have the chance. Of course, we can also spread this matter in the media and slap the other party in the face a couple of times to get our kicks."

Meng Gongxin understood Lin Chen's meaning. Since there was no clear advantage in the war anyway, they could just hold back for now, reveal the truth of the matter, humiliate them in the public opinion, and disgust the Haotian Sect. As for real revenge, they could leave it for later.

Meng Gongxin sighed inwardly, "As expected of the Human Emperor of the Wilderness Realm, how could an ordinary person bear being almost killed? Wouldn't they cry and beg for revenge?"
Lin Chen downplayed the matter, even requesting that it be handled in a low-key manner to avoid causing trouble for the sect.

Meng Gongxin hesitated and said, "Junior Uncle, if that's the case, you'll be wronged..." Lin Chen chuckled and said, "What am I wronged about? Along the way, countless people have tried to kill me, but I'm doing just fine now. On the contrary, those who wanted to kill me are actually dead. Alright, let's settle this matter."

Meng Gongxin secretly admired his junior uncle. Although he was young, his spirit was extraordinary. He had probably experienced just as many life-and-death risks as he had.

“In a few days, there will be a sect gathering. I will go there in person, bringing with me the strongest elder, and have a good discussion with them about this matter. Even if we don’t actually start a war, we will be in the right and we will not let them get away with it.”

The tone has been set; how to handle it is a matter for Sect Master Meng Gongxin to decide, and Lin Chen, this immortal, cannot interfere.

Although he also possessed two sword energies whose power limits were unknown, they were for self-preservation, not for petty squabbles.

Human immortals are invincible in the desolate wilderness, but they are still far from being able to achieve their potential in the immortal realm.

With the matter settled, Lin Chen took out his spatial ring: "The first batch of thirty-six Moon-Reaching Peaches, and four hundred and eighty-seven in Heart Valley, I decided to give five to each of the eighteen disciples, Liu Qianyun gave fifty, and I took fifty as well. The remaining three hundred-plus Moon-Reaching Peaches are all inside..."

Meng Gongxin was taken aback. The opportunity was obtained by Lin Chen, and he hadn't originally planned to ask for it. After all, Lin Chen was of a certain seniority and was someone the sect was preparing to support. He didn't expect Lin Chen to hand over the Full Moon Peach on his own initiative, and in such large quantities!

"Junior Uncle, this is all your good fortune..."

Lin Chen interrupted Meng Gongxin and said with a smile, "Without the sect's efforts and contributions in the early stages, I wouldn't have had the opportunities I had later. I have already received the greatest opportunity, so these full-moon peaches can be considered as some repayment to the sect."

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Meng Gongxin was overjoyed.

The joy wasn't due to the three hundred-plus full-moon peaches, but rather Lin Chen's recognition of the sect!

He has truly come to regard himself as a member of the White Crane Immortal Sect!
