The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1648 Saving Face Leads to Suffering

"cheers!"

Fang Wubing held up his wine glass, clinked it with Lin Chen's, and then tilted his head back to drink it all in one gulp.

"Hey, this Thousand Leaf Spirit Wine tastes pretty good!"

Lin Chen couldn't help but chuckle: "They specially selected this for you because it tastes good, has a lower alcohol content, and is suitable for newcomers. How could it taste bad?"

Fang Wubing laughed and said, "As long as you can drink, it's fine. In the end, you'll just feel uncomfortable anyway."

Lin Chen joked, "So what are you now, suffering for the sake of saving face?"

Fang Wubing didn't care at all: "When you're happy, you should drink, don't you think?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Enjoy life while you can, for tomorrow you may die."

Fang Wubing blinked: "Not bad, you've even come up with poems. I haven't heard these two lines before, but they're very fitting. Did you do them?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "I'm just a rough man, how could I know any poetry? It was written by a great poet from my hometown."

Fang Wubing nodded: "That's right. By the way, Brother Lin, isn't there something you should say to me?"

Lin Chen smiled and asked, "About my own?"

Fang Wubing nodded: "Yes, although you didn't say it, I have a feeling that you are not a simple person. Hmm, how should I put it, you have a different aura than other cultivators I've met, but I can't quite put my finger on it..."

Lin Chen thought for a moment and said, "I am not from the Cloud Sky Continent, I come from the lower realm."

Fang Wubing was taken aback: "The place you came from is very different from here?"

Lin Chen nodded: "I am a mortal. Well, that means there are no cultivators in our area. At most, there are only martial artists. In terms of cultivation level, they are roughly equivalent to the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages of cultivators."

"My father was a cultivator from the Wilderness Realm. He traveled to the mortal world and met my mother, and I was born. However, due to some unforeseen circumstances, they both returned to the Wilderness Realm, while I grew up in the mortal world and was raised by my first master."

"Our world is very different from the world of cultivators. We are all ordinary people, without demons or beasts. Although there are wars and a gap between the rich and the poor, most people live peacefully and don't have to worry about suddenly losing their lives."

"After I reached the peak of my strength in the mortal realm, by chance, I gained the qualification to go to the Wilderness Realm. Because of an adventure I had, I joined the cultivator sect of Hengshan Mountain in the Southern Mountains. The sect leader was at the peak of the Void Realm." "Through cultivation, exploration, and fortuitous encounters, I obtained the Human Emperor Seal and was eventually recognized by him, becoming the Human Emperor of the Wilderness Realm. Meanwhile, my father was possessed by the Heart of the Demon Emperor during an adventure and eventually became the Demon Emperor."

"For ten thousand years, no one in the Desolate Realm has become an immortal. The reason is that Wei Jiao of the Northern Profound Sect sent people to destroy the ascension passage in order to suppress Yao Xuanji, the daughter of the Domain Lord. Afterwards, Fairy Xuanji was resurrected and returned to the Immortal Realm. She sent the White Crane Immortal Sect to guard the boundary gate and reopened the ascension passage. Humans and demons once again gained the right to ascend to immortality."

"After I ascended, I stayed temporarily at the White Crane Immortal Sect. By chance, I obtained the inheritance of the Heavenly Sword Su Shaoling and became his disciple. Later, I joined the White Crane Immortal Sect and became the peak master of the Heavenly Sword Peak of the White Crane Immortal Sect."

"Besides that, a few years ago I studied under a Pill King and made some progress. Not long ago I won the Pill King Competition in the Cloud Sky Continent and became the new Pill King."

Lin Chen stopped speaking and looked at the dumbfounded Fang Wubing: "My story is roughly like this..."

Fang Wubing's hand, holding the wine glass, remained suspended in mid-air, forgetting to drink and forgetting to put it down. He was so engrossed in listening that when Lin Chen finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Lin, how old are you now?"

Lin Chen replied, "Over forty."

Fang Wubing nodded, then tilted his head back, downed the wine in his glass, and sighed, "Over forty years old, you've traversed the three realms, from the mortal realm devoid of spiritual energy to the barbaric realm with sparse spiritual energy, and you've managed to cultivate yourself into a supreme being in two realms. In less than ten years since arriving in the Immortal Realm, you've gone from a Human Immortal to an Earth Immortal and even become a Pill King. You make me feel like I've wasted all these years."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Although it's not easy to judge the age of cultivators from their appearance, I think you're not that old."

Fang Wubing nodded: "Yes, I am indeed not much older than you, but our birth environments are different. You were born in the mortal world without spiritual energy, so cultivation is so difficult. Moreover, in my environment, I have no resources at all, and I can just keep moving up. You have nothing and have to rely on your own hard work. You are much more capable than me, and I admire you for that!"

Not to mention Fang Wubing was convinced, even the maids serving him were shocked. This included Liu Yuqi and Fan Cuihong.

When the two women sought refuge with Lin Chen, they only knew that he was a disciple of the White Crane Immortal Sect, and knew nothing else. Along the way, Lin Chen had never deliberately mentioned his specific information or past. Now, upon hearing this, they were greatly shocked.

What does it mean to defy the heavens?

What is genius?

From childhood to adulthood, he had all kinds of cultivation resources. He could focus on cultivation all the way, and there were even various ways to ensure that he could break through realms. In the end, he advanced to the level of immortals at a young age and was called a genius.

Pooh!
Compared to the young master, they are nothing!
