The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1540 This is not alarmist talk, this is an inevitable result!
Lin Chen listened quietly from the side, and he understood what Ao Li meant.

He didn't want to get involved in the impending chaos, or rather, he felt he couldn't afford to get involved. After all, it wasn't just a contest between a single sect or school, but a major upheaval in the entire Immortal Realm, and it wouldn't just be a single sect or school getting caught up in it.

Although the Wanli Palace in the South China Sea is powerful, it may not be able to stop the tide of war if a real battle breaks out.

He didn't want to cause trouble, but Yao Xiong had done Ao Li a favor, so Ao Li was willing to protect Yao Xuanji's safety.

What he said was true. If Yao Xiong were here, anyone who wanted to rebel would have to think twice. But Yao Xuanji was too young and not strong enough. How could he win people's hearts?

Yao Xuanji fell silent.

Lin Chen thought for a moment and said, "Senior Ao, you are mistaken!"

Ao Li turned to look at Lin Chen without saying a word, but her gaze was like a sharp sword, as if it wanted to pierce through Lin Chen's body.

Lin Chen cupped his hands and said, "Lin Chen, Peak Master of Heavenly Sword Peak of White Crane Immortal Sect, greets Senior Ao."

"The Peak Master of Heavenly Sword Peak?"

Ao Li narrowed her eyes slightly: "What's your relationship with Su Shaoling?"

Lin Chen replied, "Su Shaoling is my master."

Ao Li's eyes showed a hint of surprise: "Su Shaoling has been gone from the Thunder Immortal Realm for thousands of years. It is said that he left behind a legacy. Did you obtain the Heavenly Sword legacy?"

Lin Chen calmly replied, "Yes."

Lin Chen brought up his identity to raise his own value, naturally hoping that his words would attract Ao Li's attention.

He wanted to help Yao Xuanji persuade Ao Li.

Ao Li nodded: "Back then, your master came to the shore of the South China Sea to fight me. I didn't want to pay him any attention. In order to force me to take action, he caused a ruckus in my Wanli Palace for three days, injuring countless of my disciples. It's quite a coincidence that you have revealed your identity today."

Uh……

Lin Chen's expression suddenly turned awkward. He originally wanted to highlight his identity, but he didn't expect to provoke a wave of hatred. Wasn't he just handing himself over to someone?
Master is really amazing!

When people ignored him and didn't want to fight, he went to their Dragon Palace and caused a ruckus, injuring their disciples and forcing them to take action...

Lin Chen forced a smile and cupped his hands, saying, "I've heard that after my master comprehended the Heavenly Sword, he enjoys seeking out opponents to hone his swordsmanship and improve his strength. I'm sure Senior Ao, a highly accomplished master, wouldn't care about such a trivial matter..."

Ao Li stared at Lin Chen, her aura locking him firmly: "But I do care! Who came to your house and caused trouble for three days, and you don't care?" Lin Chen cupped his hands and said solemnly: "I apologize to the senior on behalf of my master. If the senior wants to blame me, I am willing to take full responsibility."

The air seemed to freeze in that instant.

Ao Li stared at Lin Chen for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed and said, "He does have some sense of responsibility. I originally thought you were going to explain that you didn't know him back then and hadn't yet joined his sect."

Lin Chen was slightly taken aback, but then realized that Ao Li was using this opportunity to test him.

If I shirk my responsibilities, Ao Li will definitely look down on me and won't listen to anything I say anymore.

Yao Xuanji interjected to defuse the situation, asking, "And then, did Uncle Ao fight back?"

"Of course, we should fight."

Ao Li replied, "We fought for half a day in the South China Sea, and we were both badly injured. He even bought me some wine and said he would come back to find me after he had fully understood the truth. Unfortunately, I heard that he left the Thunder Immortal Realm and his whereabouts are unknown, but he has never come back to find me..."

Lin Chen was secretly shocked; Ao Li was incredibly strong!

Lin Chen had heard stories of Su Shaoling's invincibility, but this was the first time he had heard of an opponent who had fought him to a standstill.

Yao Xuanji praised, "Su Shaoling is a genius with exceptional talent in swordsmanship. His Heavenly Sword swept across the Immortal Realm, and few dared to challenge him. Uncle Ao and he were both severely injured, which shows his extraordinary strength!"

Ao Li shook her head: "Not really. When he came to me, he wasn't that famous yet. At that time, his understanding of swordsmanship was not yet perfect, and his strength had not yet reached its peak. I think the reason he stopped coming to me in the end was that his swordsmanship had reached its peak, and his strength had greatly improved compared to before. With such strength, it would be easy for him to beat me if he came to me again. Wouldn't that be meaningless?"

Lin Chen blinked. So that's how it is!
Su Shaoling's early rivals?

Ao Li stared at Lin Chen: "Kid, you just said I was wrong. Now tell me, where did I go wrong?"

Lin Chen was about to speak when Ao Li warned, "Don't you dare say that Yao Xiong was kind to me and that I'd be ungrateful if I didn't help. I don't buy into that. Even if Yao Xiong came here, let alone Xuan Ji, I would give the same answer..."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Senior Ao, you misunderstand. I absolutely did not think that way. I just felt that if we really followed Senior Ao's suggestion, the final result would be that Fairy Xuanji would definitely die, Senior Ao would most likely also perish, and the Wanli Palace would most likely be destroyed..."

Before Ao Li could speak, the cold-faced woman behind him said in a chilling voice, "Boy, don't spout such alarmist nonsense, or I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Lin Chen smiled, his expression calm: "I'm absolutely not exaggerating, because this is an inevitable trend, an inevitable outcome, and no one can change it!"
