The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1768 Discussing this in front of me, are you planning to silence me?
Lin Chen remained silent and obediently followed into the cave.

Lin Chen did not reveal his real name and had never met the Lord of Ten Thousand Snake Mountain. Even if the Immortal Lord of the Four Seas had some doubts about him, if she really wanted to take action, why would she need to deceive him?

Inside the cave, the middle-aged man invited the two to sit down and then smiled as he looked Lin Chen up and down: "This friend looks very young, what's your name?"

Lin Chen replied, "Gu Chu of Haotian Sect on Yunxiao Continent greets the Mountain Lord."

Lin Chen had previously entered the Heavenly Dao Alliance branch under the false name 'Chen Lin'. He was unsure whether the Four Seas Immortal Lord had received any information or had even heard of this name, so he dared not use it again. Instead, he fabricated another name in front of the Four Seas Immortal Lord, using the surnames of Chu Jiaxue and Gu Yuexi.

The middle-aged man looked slightly surprised: "From the Cloud Sky Continent? What brings you to the Heavenly Profound Continent?"

Lin Chen repeated the reasons he had given to the Immortal Lord of the Four Seas. The middle-aged man's gaze fell on the Immortal Lord of the Four Seas: "While it is your freedom to use this favor on whomever you wish, I am very curious, how did you, a dignified Immortal Lord, end up owing him a favor?"

Lin Chen immediately understood; this person was doubting him.

The Four Seas Immortal Lord, a dignified immortal lord, what power does he have and what can't he do, that he actually owes a favor to a mere Earth Immortal?

The Immortal Lord of the Four Seas calmly replied, "I was surrounded and seriously injured before. I met him on the way, and he took me to the manor of the Immortal Physician Chen Yunsheng. Then he went to the Baiye Mountains to find the vital Fire Night Dragon Grass for me. Otherwise, my injury would have been very troublesome."

The middle-aged man asked in surprise, "Who would dare to surround and kill you? Are you tired of living?"

The Immortal Lord of the Four Seas replied, "The Immortal Palace is led by Cao Hechuan, the First Guard Chief of the Immortal Palace."

The middle-aged man frowned and said, "Cao Hechuan has actually returned to the Immortal Palace again?"

The Four Seas Immortal Lord calmly said, "Wei Jiao openly intercepted and killed Yao Xuanji. Now that Yao Xuanji has taken over the Immortal Palace, how could he possibly swallow this insult?"

The middle-aged man asked in confusion, "Even if Yao Xuanji takes over the Immortal Palace, her strength is weak and she has no reputation. Apart from being the daughter of a domain lord, she is nothing. How many people would be willing to listen to her? You have so many Celestial Immortal experts under your command, how could you be surrounded and killed?"

The Four Seas Immortal Lord shook his head: "I was surrounded and killed in my own cave. According to Cao Hechuan, the Southern Alliance has been breached, and most of its members have been killed..."

The middle-aged man's expression changed drastically: "Is the Celestial Palace really that powerful?"

The Four Seas Immortal Lord calmly replied, "It was merely a matter of catching them off guard. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to kill even one of me, let alone so many Heavenly Immortals from the branch alliances."

The middle-aged man asked, "What are you going to do?"

The Four Seas Immortal Lord shook his head: "Although I am nominally in charge of the branch alliance, Chen Xianqiao is the one who is truly in charge. The alliance leader knows this. If something happens to me, no one needs to take responsibility. If something happens to the branch alliance, Chen Xianqiao will naturally take responsibility. It has little to do with me." The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that nothing happened. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to explain."

The Four Seas Immortal Lord said nonchalantly, "I never wanted to be in this position. I was already fed up with the fact that they forced me to take it. This is a good opportunity to get rid of it all."

The middle-aged man shook his head and said with a wry smile, "It's probably not easy for you to completely stay out of it."

The Four Seas Immortal Lord frowned: "Why?"

The middle-aged man sighed: "The alliance leader will naturally not blame you for the branch alliance matter. After all, you said before that you would only be a figurehead and not responsible for specific affairs. However, the alliance leader values ​​you very much. You must know this yourself. How could he agree to let you stay out of it and live a carefree life?"

The middle-aged man's expression was very subtle, and his eyes revealed a "you know what I mean" look, which made Lin Chen, who was listening in from the side, feel extremely uncomfortable.

Is it really appropriate for you to discuss the internal affairs of the Immortal Palace and the Heavenly Dao Alliance in front of an outsider like me?

Having revealed so much inside information, are you really planning to silence me?
Or perhaps, this is a test of himself?
Lin Chen was startled when he realized this.

Could it really be the Four Seas Immortal Lord testing me?

She had doubts about herself, so she deliberately told these inside stories in front of her and the middle-aged man. If she showed any unusual behavior and proved that she was a member of the Celestial Palace, she would take the opportunity to kill her.
Although the Four Seas Immortal Lord wasn't looking at him, his every move was clearly under her observation.

Lin Chen quickly thought it over and made a decision.

Wasn't I sent by the Cloud Sky Continent to deliver a message?

What Heavenly Alliance?

I had absolutely no idea!
Celestial Palace?

The Celestial Palace certainly knew, but knew nothing else!
If you listen carefully and still feel completely confused and bewildered, that's the right attitude!
The Four Seas Immortal Lord frowned upon hearing the middle-aged man's words, as if he wanted to say something, but then stopped himself.

"He's just bored and looking for trouble!"

Lin Chen's pupils suddenly contracted. Was she referring to the leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance?
It sounds like there's a story between the Four Seas Immortal Lord and the Heavenly Dao Alliance Leader. Judging from what the middle-aged man said earlier, which seemed to be a hint, could it be that the Heavenly Dao Alliance Leader has a crush on the Four Seas Immortal Lord?
