The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1736 The Mysterious and Aloof White-Clad Blood Envoy

"Senior sister, what should I call you?"

Lin Chen, who was piloting the airship, was quite bored, so he tentatively started to strike up a conversation.

The woman sat cross-legged and said coldly, "Shut up."

Lin Chen was silent for a moment, then cautiously asked, "Senior Sister, you seem to have suffered a severe internal injury. I have a Heaven-Mending Pill here that is specifically for treating internal injuries. Do you need it?"

The woman opened her eyes, her gaze slightly surprised: "High-grade, Heaven-Mending Pill?"

Lin Chen took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to the woman: "Yes."

The woman took the porcelain bottle, opened it, and looked inside. Her expression was somewhat surprised: "This elixir is priceless. Where did you get it?"

Lin Chen made up a story: "I got it during an adventure in a secret realm. There were only two. I was seriously injured at the time, so I ate one, and there's still one left."

The woman was silent for a few seconds: "This pill is extremely precious, why are you giving it to me?"

Lin Chen answered frankly, "Didn't my senior sister say she would help me advance to True Immortal? I didn't know how to help her, so I just thought this medicine might be of some use..."

The woman looked slightly surprised: "Aren't you worried that I'm just lying to you?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Senior sister seems to be very strong. There's no need for you to lie to me. If you just need me to control the flying boat for you, you can just tell me. If you don't obey, you can kill me. I'll still have to obey."

The woman stared at Lin Chen for two seconds, then softened her tone slightly: "I keep my word."

Lin Chen nodded: "I believe you. Where are we going?"

The woman spoke up: "Xianyun Manor."

Lin Chen looked bewildered: "Where is that?"

Perhaps because Lin Chen had given her a high-value, high-grade pill, her attitude towards Lin Chen softened considerably, and she even explained, "This is the residence of the Immortal Physician He Yunsheng."

A divine healer?

Lin Chen asked in surprise, "Senior Sister, are you seriously injured?"

The woman replied, "I already had old injuries, and now the new injuries are piled on top of the old ones, making it even more serious."

Lin Chen suddenly realized and stopped asking questions: "Just keep going south, right?"

"Yes, we'll arrive at Hanlin City. Xianyun Manor is located in a small town to the east of Hanlin City."

Lin Chen kept Han Lincheng in mind and assured her, "Don't worry about healing. I promise to get you to your destination as quickly as possible." The woman hummed in agreement, put the Heaven-Mending Pill into her mouth, and then closed her eyes.

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and steered the flying boat south.

He took out a Heaven-Mending Pill, hoping to find an opportunity to chat and find out the other party's destination. Otherwise, if the other party was returning to the Heavenly Dao Alliance headquarters, and he had gone there in a daze, wouldn't that be a waste?

Since the other party was going to Immortal Cloud Manor to seek healing from the Immortal Physician, Lin Chen didn't mind accompanying her on the journey. After all, Lin Chen still cared a lot about advancing to True Immortal.

The bottleneck is nothing if you understand and break through it; but if you don't understand and break through it, it's an indestructible iron lock that blocks your future.

In fact, during the month Lin Chen spent at the Heavenly Dao Alliance branch, he had been intentionally or unintentionally trying to learn about the Four Seas Immortal Lord. He learned from Wang Xue and others that the Four Seas Immortal Lord rarely came to the branch, and the branch was basically managed by the Vice Alliance Leader Chen Xianqiao.

Wang Xue said that everyone felt the same way about the branch leader. He didn't seem to care much about the branch's development and was more like a figurehead. Most people had never even met the leader.

Those who had met the leader of the alliance shared a surprisingly consistent impression: the leader seemed unwilling to interact with people, and when he did come to visit, he mostly stayed in his stone chamber.

Mysterious and aloof.

Based on Wang Xue and others' impressions of the Four Seas Immortal Lord, Lin Chen pondered that although the Four Seas Immortal Lord was a white-robed blood envoy, he didn't seem to care much about the development of the Southern Branch.

Lin Chen even subtly inquired with Feng He and Mu Yan'er about the White-Clad Blood Envoy's recruitment of the Demon Fiend Palace. In fact, he had only appeared once, and that time he was rejected by Feng Zhiyin.

The person who then used methods to coerce Feng Zhiyin into joining was the deputy leader Chen Xianqiao. All the plans were issued by Chen Xianqiao and executed by Yan Hao, the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall.

Now that he's in close proximity to them, Lin Chen finally understands their perspectives.

The Immortal Lord of the Four Seas is a woman, but she always appears in front of everyone in the form of a man. Lin Chen was not surprised by this, as there are many magical artifacts that can conceal one's appearance and achieve the same effect.

She may be a beautiful and charming woman, but if she wears a disguise, she may appear to others as a rough and uncouth man. Her voice can also be changed, so it is difficult to detect anything unusual unless you have direct contact with her.

The Four Seas Immortal Lord is a white-robed Blood Envoy with a prestigious status. If she doesn't take the initiative to make contact with people, who would want to get close to her?

Chen Xianqiao might know her background, but ordinary disciples were completely unaware.

She was obviously aware of the attack on the Southern Branch, but she seemed completely unconcerned. Instead of rushing back to headquarters or cleaning up the mess, she headed towards Xianyun Manor on her own.

After Lin Chen discovered that she wasn't as terrifying as he had imagined, he decided to take a risk and travel with her.

Perhaps she really did keep her promise and ascended to the level of a True Immortal?
