The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1839 He's really bold!

"Meng Haoxing, why was it you who wanted to kill me, and not someone else?"

Lin Chen's single sentence immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Do they know each other?

Does this mean... the two have a grudge?
Meng Haoxing's heart pounded, and he hurriedly shouted, "The Dragon Clan's sacred land will not be allowed to be encroached upon by other races. I know you, so I'll speak first. What's the problem?"

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "Is that so? It's really not because you insisted on sparring with me at the same cultivation level before, and ended up getting beaten up by me?"

The crowd erupted in uproar.

In a friendly sparring match, this member of the Azure Dragon Clan got beaten up by a human.
The crowd suddenly realized that this was a case of someone getting angry out of embarrassment and using the situation as an excuse to vent their frustration.

Seeing the change in everyone's gaze, Meng Haoxing quickly retorted, "Sparring with you is one thing, but what we're talking about now is that the Dragon Clan's sacred ground forbids humans from entering. These are two different things."

Lin Chen nodded: "Whether it's true or not is a different matter. Don't you know that yourself?"

Lin Chen looked around and laughed loudly, "My name is Lin Chen, a special envoy of the Immortal Palace. I came here to discuss important matters with the Azure Dragon Clan Chief, the Black Dragon Clan Chief, and others. Because of a problem with the Heavenly Gate of the Holy Land, I was dragged into this place, and now they want to kill me?"

"Meng Haoxing, can you bear the responsibility of killing me?"

As soon as Lin Chen said this, most people looked at Meng Haoxing with more disdain.

They are special envoys from the Celestial Palace, coming openly and honestly. None of the clan leaders have said anything, yet you are using this as an excuse to kill someone by proxy?
Meng Haoxing was immediately embarrassed and angrily said, "I was only trying to uphold the dignity of the Holy Land and the prestige of the Ancestor!"

Lin Chen laughed heartily, then suddenly raised his voice and said loudly, "Senior Zulong, I am Lin Chen, the special envoy sent by the Lord of the Thunder Immortal Domain. I came here to discuss important matters with the clan leaders, but I was mistakenly dragged into this place. I cannot bear the blame for trespassing into the Dragon Clan's forbidden area. Senior has already invited so many people to your grand banquet. I wonder if you would mind having another human guest like me?"

Lin Chen's voice was like thunder, spreading far and wide, shaking the surrounding area.

All the dragons were shocked. This kid actually bypassed everyone and spoke directly with the Ancestral Dragon!

He's really brave!
After the initial shock, everyone reconsidered. Lin Chen was a special envoy of the Celestial Palace, representing the Lord of the Thunder Celestial Domain. Regardless of his strength, his status was at least equal to anyone in the Thunder Celestial Domain. So, it didn't seem like there was anything wrong with him speaking to the Ancestral Dragon on equal terms.
After thinking about it this way, everyone felt relieved.

An aged voice echoed from within the Dragon Palace, its tone gentle: "Since you are a special envoy sent by the Domain Lord to discuss important matters with the Dragon Clan, you are naturally a guest of our Dragon Clan. Since you have the opportunity to enter here, please come in and have a drink."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief. The Ancestral Dragon was of a very high generation and had lived through countless years. There was no Immortal Palace when he existed. That's why Lin Chen deliberately mentioned that he was a special envoy appointed by the Domain Lord to elevate his status. He also deliberately said that he was there to discuss important matters with the clan leaders to make his arrival seem more legitimate.

As it turns out, Lin Chen's identity was indeed useful!

If it were someone else, the First Emperor might not have given him the courtesy.

Lin Chen cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for the invitation, senior. Then I won't stand on ceremony." As soon as Zu Long spoke, Meng Haoxing, who had just threatened to kill Lin Chen, immediately wilted and dared not utter another word.

Since the ancestor has spoken, that's the final verdict.

Why are you still talking about the majesty of the ancestor and the dignity of the dragon race? Isn't that just putting the ancestor in a bad light?

The people around Meng Haoxing looked at him with undisguised mockery.

Let me make you the villain.

Now you've completely lost face.

The Dragon Palace's previously closed gates suddenly burst open with a loud bang, and a young woman stepped out.

Guests who already have a complete badge can wait in the inner hall, while guests without a badge can wait in the outer hall.

Lin Chen greeted Yuan Hong and stepped into the main hall.

The woman approached Lin Chen, gesturing for him: "Special Envoy, please follow me!"

"Thank you!"

Lin Chen followed the woman inside, casually asking, "Are you also a dragon?"

The woman replied, "Besides the Ancestor, there are no other dragons in this sacred land. We are all various demon races who cultivated under the Ancestor's guidance and eventually transformed into human form. We gather here, firstly to continue our cultivation under the Ancestor's guidance, and secondly to serve the Ancestor and perform some trivial tasks for him..."

Lin Chen smiled and nodded, saying nothing more.

Hundreds of stone tables and benches have been set up in the huge hall, each for a single person to sit on, arranged neatly.

The woman led Lin Chen through the outer hall and into the inner hall of the main hall.

The inner hall was also filled with stone tables and benches, divided into left and right sides, with a wide passageway in the middle, just like the layout of the Imperial Palace Hall where Lin Chen had a night drinking session.

The woman led Lin Chen to the first table in the row on the left, and said to him, "Special Envoy, please sit at this table."

Lin Chen was slightly surprised. According to the rules, this position should be the most prestigious one, right?
Lin Chen smiled and said, "This is a gathering of the Dragon Clan. Is it inappropriate for me to sit in this seat?"

The woman smiled and said, "The Ancestor said that the special envoy represents the Domain Lord and is a guest from afar, so he should sit here..."
