The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1596 A Once-in-a-Century Gathering: The Divine Fire Martial Arts Tourna

Night falls.

In the bedroom, Chu Jiaxue's moans rang out, lasting for a long time, pausing for a while before resuming.

After going back and forth like this for half the night, the two finally calmed down.

The longing, like a volcano, was finally released in these passionate encounters.

Finally, it became completely quiet.

"So, you're not only the successor of the Heavenly Sword Sect, but also the junior uncle of the White Crane Immortal Sect, and the new generation's Pill King..."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "That's right. For the past five years, I've been refining pills, refining pills, and refining pills. I'm almost going crazy from all the refining."

Chu Jiaxue nestled against Lin Chen's chest, gazing up at his face: "You're amazing! I thought I'd improved a lot these past few years, but I never imagined you'd improve even more. Whether you're in the mortal realm, the desolate realm, or the immortal realm, you're just as powerful!"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I've always been lucky, you know that."

Chu Jiaxue suddenly laughed and said, "It seems like we've said something similar before..."

Upon reflection, Lin Chen realized it was indeed true.

Similar conversations have happened before, and now it feels like a scene is being replayed.

"Before I came, I was quite worried that you weren't doing well. When I heard that the gatekeeper disciples all admired you so much, I was pleasantly surprised..."

Chu Jiaxue smiled and said, "You gave them gifts, look how enthusiastic they are towards you?"

Lin Chen replied, "Just a youth-preserving pill."

Chu Jiaxue chuckled and said, "You're so generous."

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "I came prepared this time. We need to let others know that you are not alone. You have someone backing you up. But judging from the current situation, you are doing quite well and are almost becoming the future star of Wanhua Palace."

Chu Jiaxue joked, "Unlike you, when I see the sect leader, I have to bow respectfully, but your sect leader has to bow to you and call you Junior Uncle..." After a pause, Chu Jiaxue asked, "How long will you stay this time?"

Lin Chen replied, "Whatever, I'm not in a hurry."

Chu Jiaxue said softly, "Regarding the Heavenly Dao Alliance, would you like to meet with the sect leader?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "It is said that the Wanhua Palace's position is neutral. This matter is not easy to discuss, so let's not discuss it. Just keep this to yourself. If you find that something is wrong in the future, get away from danger as soon as possible. Nothing else matters."

Chu Jiaxue nodded: "I understand. Wanhua Palace doesn't really care much about outside affairs. I guess they might not take your words to heart. If things change in the future, I will be careful."

Lin Chen nodded: "You are now a key person to be cultivated. If the sect makes any moves, the elders of the sect should inform you to some extent, so you should not be completely kept in the dark."

Chu Jiaxue suddenly remembered something: "Oh, right, the sect is going to participate in the Divine Fire Martial Arts Tournament in the next few days. Although my strength is not very high, I have made rapid progress in the past few years, so I have a spot. If you are not in a hurry, why don't you come with me to take a look?"

Lin Chen inquired, "What's the Divine Fire Martial Arts Tournament for?"

Chu Jiaxue explained, "It's actually a martial arts tournament to showcase the strength of sects and determine their ranking. Among them, the competition for the ranking of the eight major forces is the most intense. Our Wanhua Palace happens to be ranked eighth. Therefore, if someone wants to enter the top eight, the first thing they do is challenge us. According to the rules, if they win the challenge, they can replace us and become the eighth major force."

Lin Chen asked in surprise, "Sect ranking? Does that mean the strongest people in a sect have to fight?"

Chu Jiaxue nodded: "That's right, we must be there to oversee things, otherwise, wouldn't it be a shame to lose? However, the Divine Fire Martial Arts Tournament is held once every hundred years, which is not a short time, but it is not long for cultivators. The strength of a sect usually does not change much, so the top experts fighting to determine the rankings rarely happens. It is more about the exchange and sparring between young disciples."

Lin Chen understood. After all, the leap in realm for a Celestial Immortal Realm expert was not easy, often taking thousands or tens of thousands of years. The probability of a sect's top experts undergoing a significant change in strength within a hundred years was not high, so the chances of them fighting were not high. After all, those who could fight had probably already fought.

If someone's cultivation level doesn't improve and their strength doesn't increase significantly, where would they find the courage to challenge and break the existing rankings?

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Your Wan Hua Palace is all women. Wouldn't it be a bit inconvenient for me, a man, to be sandwiched between you?"

Chu Jiaxue answered affirmatively: "Our relationship is perfectly clear, and it's not something to be ashamed of. Once this is brought up, no one will mind. Although all the disciples of Wanhua Palace are female, there is no rule that forbids them from getting married. Besides, you are Su Shaoling's disciple. Just based on that identity, who wouldn't give you some face?"

Lin Chen replied, "Alright, a gathering of top experts is a once-in-a-century event. I've just happened to be there, so I have to see it. If any top experts challenge me, wouldn't it be a waste not to watch?"
