The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1537 Ao Li, We Must See Her!
"Where are we headed now? Are we still going to the South China Sea Wanli Palace?"

"go with!"

Yao Xuanji's expression was resolute: "Although we have escaped this calamity for the time being, Wei Jiao will obviously not let go of this opportunity to kill me. Their people are definitely watching everywhere, looking for another chance to strike."

“Even if we return now, it will probably be very dangerous. Only by going to the South China Sea and getting Ao Li’s support, as long as he protects us, will we no longer be in danger.”

Lin Chen asked worriedly, "What if he doesn't want to?"

Yao Xuanji had clearly thought this through beforehand, and replied, "My father has done him a favor. Even if he is unwilling to get involved in this conflict, he will certainly protect my safety. Otherwise, how will he explain himself to my father when he returns?"

Lin Chen thought it made sense, and said, "Wei Jiao led her people to ambush us here, perhaps she already guessed that you were going to find Ao Li. If we continue forward, we might encounter danger..."

Zhong Quan said, "Lei Zhenxiu's injuries haven't healed yet. How about I handle this? Even if we encounter the enemy, I think I can escape on my own without much trouble..."

Yao Xuanji shook her head: "I am the daughter of the Domain Lord and the current acting Domain Lord. If I cannot openly and honestly meet Ao Li, it might make Ao Li feel even more that the Immortal Palace has lost its power, and she will be even less willing to get involved in this matter, let alone stand on the side of the Immortal Palace..."

Lin Chen thought for a moment: "This problem is not difficult. My whirlwind flag can hide people inside. The four of us are easy to attract attention, but if we reduce the number of people and disguise ourselves a little, we will not be easily recognized."

Yao Xuanji nodded in agreement, then thought for a moment and said, "Aunt Lei is injured, and I'm likely to be watched. How about I go into the Wind Banner with Aunt Lei, and you and Uncle Zhong go together, disguised, into Nan Yuan City, and then we'll figure out a way."

“There are many people in the city, making it easy to hide. Moreover, you have a spell to conceal your life force and aura. As long as we don’t show ourselves, even if someone in the city is searching for information about us, they definitely won’t be able to find us.”

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Once we get into the city, we'll find a way to locate the people from Wanli Palace. There's no rush. As long as we don't get noticed, they'll have no way of knowing where we are."

"As for entering Nanyuan City, we can disguise ourselves as merchants or other people, board a merchant ship, and enter openly and honestly."

Yao Xuanji laughed and said, "Speaking of escaping, you certainly have a lot of experience."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "There's no other way. I've encountered too many dangers in the human realm and the desolate realm. Escaping is what I'm best at. Otherwise, I would have been finished long ago."

Yao Xuanji nodded: "Okay, you can decide on the rest of the itinerary. We'll listen to you."

Lin Chen turned to look at Zhong Quan and Lei Zhenxiu, and both of them nodded, indicating their trust in him.

After all, if Lin Chen hadn't intervened earlier, they would probably all be dead by now.

Lin Chen took Yao Xuanji and Lei Zhenxiu back into the Whirlwind Flag and set off again with Zhong Quan. It wasn't that Lin Chen was reluctant to hand over the Whirlwind Flag to Zhong Quan and have him take him in as well; it was just that during their time together, he had discovered that although Zhong Quan was strong, he was straightforward and liked to do things directly, and was not good at scheming and plotting.

Simply put, he is a loyal subordinate of the domain lord Yao Xiong, suitable for charging into battle, but not for scheming and plotting.

Zhong Quan is powerful and holds a prestigious position in the Immortal Palace. He is a high-ranking figure, and his interactions with ordinary people in the marketplace are simply not a good fit, making it easy for others to notice something amiss.

Lin Chen was originally an ordinary person. Although he is now an immortal, deep down he is not much different from the one he was in the mortal world.

After disguising themselves and changing their attire, the two entered Donghe City, which was a thousand miles away from Nanyuan City.

In Donghe City, they rented a courtyard and stayed for a few days until Lei Zhenxiu's injuries had almost healed, at which point the group embarked on their journey again.

Lin Chen and Zhong Quan disguised themselves as guards of a merchant and followed him into Nan Yuan City on a swaggering commercial airship.

Lin Chen and Zhong Quan followed behind the merchant, calmly exiting the airship docking area.

Lin Chen had only taken a few steps when he sensed someone watching him. Pretending to look around casually, he spotted the man observing him.

The man had set up a calligraphy and painting stall, displaying written characters and finished paintings. He sat in a chair, leisurely tending the stall, holding a cup of tea, his gaze sweeping calmly over everyone who came out of the airship docking area.

His gaze swept over the pot-bellied merchant in front of him, then over Lin Chen and Zhong Quan, but only briefly, clearly not paying them any attention.

His gaze was particularly focused on cultivators traveling alone or in groups of two or three, especially young female cultivators, whose gaze would linger for a moment longer.

Lin Chen glanced at it, then looked away and followed the merchant into the city without a care.

The merchant was very familiar with the area and easily found his way to a large inn, where he booked an entire courtyard.

Lin Chen took out the whirlwind flag and released Yao Xuanji and Lei Zhenxiu.

"Someone is watching the entrance to the airship docking area; it should be one of Wei Jiao's people..."
