The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1869 Treat him well and keep him here!
"With Uncle Dugu's words, I feel much more at ease."

Yao Xuanji smiled and replied, her gaze falling on Dugu Si's face. She smiled and said, "It's all in the past now, Brother Dugu, so don't take it to heart. To be honest, I was the first to befriend her, and I was the one who always invited her to join us. I can only say that I made a bad choice of friends, which harmed myself and even dragged Brother Dugu into this mess!"

Dugu Si looked at Yao Xuanji, who was smiling gracefully, and felt complicated.

He and Yao Xuanji were childhood sweethearts, and they had a good impression of each other. If nothing unexpected happened, they would definitely end up together. Even if their love wasn't passionate, they cared for and understood each other, and a happy and harmonious relationship was inevitable.

That woman ruined everything.

If it were just Wei Jiao who harmed Yao Xuanji, it would be fine; he would simply do his best to help Yao Xuanji avenge herself. But in reality, he was kept in the dark and ended up marrying Wei Jiao, the real culprit, and even having a child with her!

Over the course of ten thousand years, Wei Jiao used every means at the Northern Profound Sect to win over a large number of people within the sect, resulting in at least one-third of the sect members following her and defecting from the Northern Profound Sect when the incident occurred, causing a significant loss to the sect's strength.

In his youth, Dugu Si was hailed as one of the Three Heroes of Beixuan, enjoying unparalleled prowess. Now, he has become a top-tier expert, but this incident has dealt him a heavy blow.

He became a sinner of the Northern Xuan Sect!
He was even more ashamed to face Uncle Yao, who admired and doted on him!
More importantly, if Wei Jiao were standing in front of him now, would he kill her without hesitation to avenge Yao Xuanji?

A mother who killed her own child?

Even if he doesn't love her, can he really bring himself to do it?

It was this constant self-examination that tormented his heart, making him feel increasingly guilty and powerless—something that strength alone could not solve.

The more magnanimous Yao Xuanji was towards her, the more ashamed and saddened he felt.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what I can do to make up for the hurt I've caused you, but I can give you my life. As my father said, anyone who wants to hurt you will have to step over my dead body!"

Yao Xuanji harbored no resentment towards Dugu Si; in the end, he was just an unlucky victim of Wei Jiao's scheme.

Dugu Si never intended to harm himself. On the contrary, after he got into trouble, Dugu Si searched for him everywhere he went.

“Brother Dugu, there’s no need for that. As Lin Chen said, we should just do our best. Even if the result isn’t good, we can preserve our strength and eventually take everything back. If we die, then we’ll have nothing left.”

Dugu Si nodded silently, but Dugu Potian asked softly, "Lin Chen is the Human Emperor of the Desolate Realm who rescued you from the sealed land, right?" Dugu Potian and his son had come to the Immortal Palace once before to apologize and inquire about Yao Xuanji. They knew of Lin Chen's existence, but they did not know what happened afterward.

Yao Xuanji smiled and said, "Yes, he not only saved me in the Wilderness Realm, but he also saved me when I was ambushed by Wei Jiao and her men. He was the vice-captain when the Heavenly Dao Alliance's Southern Branch was wiped out. He used a trick to infiltrate the branch and then struck the enemy with a single blow, severely damaging the Southern Branch with almost zero casualties. This time, he went to the Dragon Spirit Continent and single-handedly stopped the Heavenly Dao Alliance and the Dragon Clan's plan to unite..."

Dugu Potian's eyes widened in shock as he exclaimed, "His strength shouldn't be that high, right?"

Yao Xuanji smiled, her smile filled with genuine pride: "He ascended to immortality and came to the Immortal Realm. In just over ten years, he has already reached the late stage of True Immortal and is currently in seclusion, attempting to break through to the peak of True Immortal."

Dugu Potian and Dugu Si were both shocked. As one of the three heroes of Beixuan, Dugu Si was naturally a prodigy with extraordinary talent, but even he dared not say that he could improve so much in just over ten years.

"His talent is just too high! He's practically a prodigy!"

Yao Xuanji shook his head: "His talent is actually average. He has sword bones all over his body and is a pseudo-sword spirit body. He has heavenly phenomena, but he does not have a natural Dao body... Every time he grows, it is through various dangers that he gains opportunities."

Dugu Potian asked in surprise, "You don't have a natural Dao body, yet you possess extraordinary phenomena of the Heavenly Dao?"

Yao Xuanji explained, "It was a powerful individual who used his methods to extract the seed of anomaly from the body of a person with a naturally formed Dao physique and then plant it in that person. It is said that the success rate was very low, but he still succeeded in the end."

Dugu Potian was amazed. What kind of power would it take to possess such divine abilities?

"From this perspective, he may not be a gifted individual, but he possesses great fortune. To achieve so much at such a young age, his future is limitless. Niece, you must treat him well... well and let him stay in the Immortal Palace!"

Dugu Potian originally wanted to say "win over," but after hesitating for a moment, he changed it to "treat well."

From Yao Xuanji's tone, he could tell that Yao Xuanji was completely grateful and trusting of him, and even proud of what he had done.

Yao Xuanji smiled slightly: "We are friends, but to be honest, although I am now the master of the Immortal Palace, it is he who has been helping me all along. I have not helped him much. I can't even provide some immortal medicines for cultivation, and he has to find them himself..."
