The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1698 This Immortal Palace is rather shabby.
"Wei Jiao's father was the head of the guards before, what happened after your return?"

Yao Xuanji smirked coldly: "What else could she do? She ran away feeling guilty. She's the daughter of a biological family, I'm just my boss's daughter. How can you compare?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Who is the current head of the guards?"

Yao Xuanji replied, "Uncle Zhong, you've met him before."

Lin Chen nodded: "When your father was alive, the strength of the guard captain was not important, but now that you are in charge of the Immortal Sect, you must have someone who can protect you. Otherwise, if the Heavenly Dao Alliance launches a full-scale attack on the Immortal Palace, you won't even be able to escape."

Yao Xuanji nodded: "The Immortal Palace currently has five guard captains, all of whom are at the Heavenly Immortal level. Among them, Uncle Zhong is the chief guard captain. The guard battalion has one hundred members, of whom thirty-five are at the True Immortal level and sixty-five are at the Golden Immortal level."

Lin Chen nodded: "Their strength is not bad, but they lack top-notch combat power."

Yao Xuanji nodded: "My father is strong enough on his own, so he doesn't need many people around him. When he really needs people, he will issue Immortal Palace Orders to the major sects to summon them."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "That's right, your father has that kind of intimidation power. If anyone doesn't come, he'll lead his men to wipe them out, so no one is afraid to come!"

Yao Xuanji looked at Lin Chen and said, "I'm going to visit Grandpa Cao later. Will you come with me?"

"Grandpa Cao?"

Yao Xuanji explained, "He was the first chief bodyguard I just mentioned. He was very old, and my father called him Uncle Cao, so I called him Grandpa Cao. He really treated me like his granddaughter."

Lin Chen readily agreed: "Okay!"

He came here originally to help Yao Xuanji. Although he was far inferior to Yao Xuanji in terms of combat strength, that did not matter.

What the Celestial Palace lacks now is not just one or two celestial beings, but rather the right approach.

Lin Chen wasn't particularly clever, but the current situation in the Immortal Palace resembled that of a weak or young emperor in many dynasties, giving Lin Chen a wealth of historical lessons to learn from.

Ordinary people fight for power and profit, while cultivators fight for power and cultivation resources; they are essentially the same.

The core of the struggle has not changed; only the method of fighting has changed.

Human nature remains the same, unchanged through the ages!
Yao Xuanji had spent some time in the human realm and knew about its history, so when Lin Chen explained these things, Yao Xuanji immediately understood.

It wasn't that she didn't understand; it's just that she had never managed such a large-scale operation before, and she was a little hesitant, afraid of messing things up. Actually, once she put her mind at ease, she had nothing to fear. Wei Jiao had already sent people to intercept and kill her; could anything be worse?
Could it be worse than being suppressed for ten thousand years?
Once Yao Xuanji has figured things out, she makes decisions with lightning speed and without any hesitation.

During their casual conversation, Lin Chen learned about the Immortal Palace, only to discover that it was extremely simple, even crude.

In the Celestial Palace, there is only one master, Yao Xuanji. Besides him, there is the Celestial Palace Guard responsible for security, and then there is a life manager who is in charge of all the servants and manages the lives of everyone in the Celestial Palace.

Aunt Lei was the head of the household affairs department, and Zhong Quan was the chief bodyguard. No wonder she was accompanied by only these two people when she came out last time, and no one else.

That's all!
Yes, everything is gone, not even the strategist Lin Chen mentioned!
In Yao Xuanji's words, the Immortal Palace was originally a place where strength was paramount. When his father was alive, his words were sacred decrees that could not be disobeyed. Why would he need any strategists?
The chief guard of the Celestial Palace is always present. In addition, the four guard captains are in pairs and take turns on duty. The hundred guards are also divided into two groups and take turns on duty.

After hearing this, Lin Chen couldn't help but smile wryly; the place of this immortal palace was really quite sloppy.

This probably can't even compare to a major sect.

A major power like the Ten Great Immortal Sects should have more than five Celestial Immortals, or even dozens of Golden Immortals, right?

Yao Xiong was incredibly powerful, capable of single-handedly preventing so many strong individuals from even considering coveting the Immortal Palace for countless years.

It's unclear whether he was grieving the loss of his beloved daughter, searching in vain, and temporarily unwilling to return to this place of sorrow, or whether he had made a breakthrough, surpassing the Great Luo realm, and gone to the higher immortal realms.

Lin Chen thought for a moment and realized that although the Immortal Palace had few people, it was because Yao Xiong himself did not like luxury and was obsessed with cultivation, so he did not care about these external things. However, it did not mean that the Immortal Palace could only have this kind of scale.

If Yao Xiong were willing, he could easily fill this place with powerful individuals with a single command!
That evening, Yao Xuanji arranged a lavish dinner to welcome Lin Chen, which was also a way of expressing gratitude for his past help.

"Want some wine?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "It's just the two of us, so let's not drink anymore."

Yao Xuanji insisted, "How can a banquet be without wine? Even though it's a banquet for two, it's still a banquet, so we have to drink some. I'll drink with you!"

Lin Chen laughed and asked, "How's your alcohol tolerance?"

Yao Xuanji smiled and said, "It's alright, don't worry, I'll definitely keep you company. I won't let you get into a drinking mood only to find myself unable to drink anymore..."
