The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1813 Your asking price is too high, we can't afford it!

With her sea of ​​consciousness sealed, Meng Ke was now a useless immortal who couldn't use her spiritual energy. Of course, she couldn't kill Lin Chen, so all she could do was stare at him fiercely.

Lin Chen smiled and remained calm and composed.

Meng Ke glared at Lin Chen for a while, and seeing Lin Chen's expression, she was furious, but there was nothing she could do about it. So she simply looked away, closed her eyes, and stopped looking at Lin Chen.

Seeing that Meng Ke remained silent, Xi Junshan finally spoke up: "Special Envoy Lin, we really owe you a lot this time. If it weren't for your plan, we wouldn't have succeeded so easily, and we might still be stuck here."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "It's not just my achievement. If you hadn't attracted all their attention, I wouldn't have been able to succeed so easily. The next round of negotiations will depend on you."

Xi Junshan waved his hand to cast the soundproofing spell before speaking, "This matter has alarmed the Azure Dragon Palace, and the aftermath will likely be significant."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Let's talk. If we reach an agreement, we can sign a binding contract to govern the actions of both parties on this matter. As for the conflict, the conflict between the Dragon Clan and the Human Clan has never stopped, and no one can resolve it."

Xi Junshan asked, "What suggestions does Special Envoy Lin have regarding the negotiations?"

Lin Chen looked at Xi Junshan and smiled, "What do you think, Sect Leader Xi?"

Xi Junshan replied, "Our disciples have returned safely, not one missing. That's the most basic requirement."

Lin Chen nodded: "That's for sure, and they will definitely agree. We've captured not only Meng Ke, but also these dozen or so Golden Immortal guards. Putting aside their status, their combat strength alone is much higher."

Xi Junshan continued, "The spiritual vein must be returned to us, and we promise that the Azure Dragon Clan will no longer harm the spiritual vein."

Lin Chen hummed in agreement, offering no comment, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Xi Junshan replied, "They attacked us first and killed several of our disciples. They must make appropriate compensation."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "We killed quite a few of them in this attack. I even took down three Golden Immortals. Well, when it comes to negotiations, we first set a price, then haggle, and talk it over."

Xi Junshan roughly understood the subtext of Lin Chen's words and smiled, "Yes, let's talk about it later. Special Envoy Lin, what are your requirements?"

Lin Chen replied, "I need some information about the Heavenly Dao Alliance."

Xi Junshan immediately understood. The Heavenly Dao Alliance was fighting against the Immortal Palace. As the Immortal Palace's special envoy, Lin Chen knew that the Heavenly Dao Alliance was colluding with the Dragon Clan, so naturally he had to pay attention.

Although he was alone, he had the entire Celestial Palace behind him. Once he received definite information, the Celestial Palace would definitely send people to deal with the entire Heavenly Dao Alliance.

What Lin Chen requested was within the scope of his duties as a special envoy of the Celestial Palace.

“Alright, Special Envoy Lin, we’ll go together then. If you have any specific requests, just ask them directly and we’ll discuss them together.” Lin Chen nodded: “We need to be on guard these next few days. We don’t want to be taken advantage of. Although Meng Ke is in our hands, they probably won’t do anything so extreme, but it’s always better to be cautious.”

Everyone rushed back to Hundred Tribulations Sect as quickly as possible, and the sect entered a state of combat readiness, fully on alert.

Not long after, Lin Chen and the others set off again, heading towards the spiritual vein they had recently discovered.

Since the last attack on the spiritual veins by the dragons, they have been occupied by them. If it weren't for a group of sect disciples being in the hands of the dragons, the Hundred Tribulations Sect would probably have already started a war.

Meng Panshi and his entourage were already waiting there, accompanied by a beautiful young woman in a blue dress with a cool and aloof demeanor.

Meng Ke and the others were secretly guarded by two celestial beings and were not present at the scene. Only Lin Chen and six celestial beings led by Xi Junshan participated in the negotiations.

Seeing Lin Chen and the others arrive, Meng Panshi's fighting spirit surged: "Where's my niece!"

Xi Junshan smiled and said, "She is naturally in a safe place. Once we have reached an agreement, she will naturally return. I advise you not to do anything rash, otherwise, casualties will occur, which is not the result we want to see."

Meng Panshi sneered: "State your conditions."

Xi Junshan reiterated all the points he had mentioned before, and naturally, he also made an outrageous demand for compensation, asking for an enormous sum.

After hearing this, Meng Panshi sneered: "You're really desperate for money, you want compensation? You killed quite a few of our people a few days ago, shouldn't you compensate us for that too?"

Xi Junshan replied, "This matter was caused by your sudden attack on us, killing my sect elders and capturing my sect disciples. Of course, you must bear full responsibility."

Meng Panshi gritted his teeth but didn't say anything. Instead, he turned his gaze to the young woman in green next to him.

The young woman in green smiled slightly and said calmly, "Meng Ke is not worth that much. Although the clan leader dotes on her, that is a grandfather's doting on his granddaughter. The clan leader is not just her clan leader, but the clan leader of all the dragon clans. He cannot forget his identity as the clan leader for the sake of his granddaughter."

Lin Chen looked at the calm young woman in blue and felt a chill in his heart.

This woman is probably from the Azure Dragon Palace.

Xi Junshan asked in a deep voice, "And who are you?"

The young woman in green replied, "Meng Shuyu is Meng Ke's aunt. I can make decisions about her. Your price is too high; we can't afford it."
