The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1397 Me Too!
Lin Chen remained calm.

It's just fame. It's not like I've never been famous before. After all, I was once the Human Emperor, the supreme ruler of a realm.

Becoming famous has its advantages and disadvantages. However, the Immortal Realm is vast, with countless cultivators. If you don't reveal your name, who will know who you are?

Beneath the Thunder Immortal Realm lie many continents, each existing independently. However, teleportation arrays connect these continents, allowing direct travel between them.

Lin Chen spent three months immersed in the library and had a good understanding of the Immortal Realm. Simply put, an Immortal Realm is a star system, while the continents that everyone talks about are actually planets. Although they interact with each other, they are relatively independent entities.

"Oh, by the way, your servants have all been taken to the White Crane Immortal Sect. Since we don't know how you plan to settle them, they are temporarily staying in the guest area."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up slightly, and he sat up from his chair: "Then I have to go take a look."

Lin Chen didn't mean he cared about them that much, but they had been with their families before, and Lin Chen wanted to know about their families' situation and also about the current state of the Wilderness Realm.

Lin Chen leaped into the air and quickly arrived at the guest area.

Lin Chen soon met Yan Chusheng, Ji Ruxue and others. When they saw Lin Chen, their eyes lit up and they all knelt down on one knee with excitement.

"boss!"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Get up, there's no need to be so polite."

The five people looked at Lin Chen with burning eyes, their gazes filled with gratitude and admiration.

Lin Chen truly kept his word. In such a short time, he actually brought all of them to the Immortal Realm!
After arriving here, they heard even more about Lin Chen's legend.

To single-handedly fight against more than twenty late-stage or peak Human Immortals, defeating them all and even slaying a peak True Immortal with a single sword strike—such a feat is truly astonishing.

Lin Chen had only been in the Immortal Realm for less than two years when he transformed himself into the junior uncle of the White Crane Immortal Sect's Heavenly Sword Peak Master and Sect Master, becoming a peer of a group of Supreme Elders.

Lin Chen asked, "Tell me about the situation below."

Si Defa replied with utmost respect: "The boss's family is all well and everyone is living and cultivating in peace and tranquility. The boss's master and three senior brothers and sisters have been studying the Human Emperor Scripture and making their final improvements. They are preparing to ascend together."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "Where is the Demon Emperor?"

Ji Ruxue replied, "Ever since you ascended, the Demon Emperor has been in seclusion and hasn't emerged until now..."

Lin Chen frowned. What was he waiting for? Oh well, never mind him. Let him ascend or not, it doesn't matter. Come to think of it, Lin Chen was actually a little afraid that he might fail to ascend and be reduced to ashes.

"How is the Wilderness Realm doing now?"

Ji Ruxue replied, "It's all in good order. The immortals of the White Crane Immortal Sect descended upon the passage and made some rules. In order to ascend, who would dare to disobey the orders? The most powerful people are all obedient, so naturally there won't be any trouble below. Nowadays, the human race and the demon race are very harmonious."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "It's pretty much what I expected. Once you can ascend to immortality, who would bother fighting to the death? Besides, immortals can descend to the mortal realm at any time. Even if you win, what then? Someone can easily defeat you. In the end, it's all for nothing."

Lin Chen glanced at the group, then proactively released Ji Ruxue and the others' true souls, severing their master-servant contract.

"I have dissolved our contractual relationship, and you are now free."

Lin Chen's gaze lingered on Zhao Jia: "I won't break your contract. You're not a good person to begin with. You forcibly took over this body. But since I took you in back then, killing you now would make me seem like I'm kicking you when you've served your purpose."

"You can stay here in the White Crane Immortal Sect as a disciple and start anew. If you remain incorrigible and continue to do all sorts of bad things, then I will simply destroy you."

Zhao Jia was sweating, but he breathed a sigh of relief. He had been on tenterhooks these past few days, and now the shoe had finally dropped.

Although he wasn't set free, he was given the status of a disciple of the White Crane Immortal Sect and a chance to start anew. Lin Chen had indeed done more than enough.

Zhao Jia knelt on one knee: "Thank you, boss, for your magnanimity in sparing my life. I will definitely turn over a new leaf and become a good person."

Lin Chen waved his hand: "Go ahead."

Zhao Jia thanked him again and got up to leave.

Yan Chusheng, Ji Ruxue, Si Defa, and Yuan Ji looked at each other in disbelief. They never expected that Lin Chen would break the contract and give them their freedom as soon as they met.

Si Defa knelt down on one knee without hesitation, cupped his hands and said, "Boss, I admit that I was forced to follow you by the contract, but you are a rare and extraordinary man. I have been convinced by you during the time I have followed you. Even if I am no longer bound by the contract, I hope to continue to follow you."

Ji Ruxue knelt down cleanly and decisively: "We are like rootless duckweed in the Immortal Realm, with nowhere to go. I am willing to become your subordinate or servant, to be at your beck and call without complaint, just to have a place to stay."

Yan Chusheng and Yuan Ji exchanged a glance, then quickly knelt down on one knee and bowed.

"Me too!"
