The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2166 Life is too long, memories become blurred!

In the lakeside cottage, Lu Yao sat quietly cross-legged, with a cup of tea steaming in front of him.

The tea is a top-grade immortal tea, containing powerful vitality and spiritual energy. If an ordinary cultivator drank a cup of it, their strength would definitely increase greatly. However, for Lu Yao, it was just an ordinary beverage.

Lin Chen held the teacup, took a sip, and savored the rich vitality and mellow spiritual energy. He couldn't help but sigh, "Is this the daily life of a top-tier expert?"

Lin Chen has returned to the mine and taken a large sum of Ink Immortal Crystals from Zhao Xinyu.

He didn't take it all, after all, Zhao Xinyu still needed to take some back to report.

The original plan was to kill all the Pegasus Knights, but Lin Chen had changed his plans, so it was no longer necessary.

The Three Saints Sect will eventually become Lin Chen's Three Saints Sect, and these people can naturally become his people. Wouldn't it be a waste to kill them?
It was almost time for the end of the Heavenly River Secret Realm, but Lin Chen wasn't in a hurry to cultivate. Instead, he spent his free time drinking tea and chatting with Lu Yao.

Lu Yao's face still looked like that of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, but his hair had turned snow-white, which gave him a more sinister look.

Can you tell me about your past?

Lin Chen held his teacup and smiled, "Sure, but compared to your life, mine is too short and not as exciting or intense."

Lu Yao shook her head: "Life is too long, and many memories of life become increasingly blurred. The things that you care about, that you will always remember and never forget, become fewer and fewer. This feeling is actually not good. Your memories are vivid now, and your emotions are clear and distinct, which is very good..."

Lin Chen began to recount his life story, while Lu Yao listened attentively, holding her teacup.

This lecture lasted for quite some time.

After hearing the story, Lu Yao looked at Lin Chen with a smile: "Your life can be considered legendary. I never thought that you started as an ordinary person and worked your way up to where you are today. This is much more impressive than those geniuses born into wealthy cultivation families."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I'd like to too, but we don't have the means, do we?"

Lu Yao smiled leisurely and asked, "What do you want to do in the future?" Lin Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know. Perhaps because I don't have a strong background, I've always faced different enemies. Just when I finally manage to crush one enemy, I encounter an even stronger one. I don't really like fighting. I just want to be a carefree immortal and live a leisurely and comfortable life. But that's probably just wishful thinking. After all, wherever there are people, there are grudges and conflicts. Since we're in it, how easy is it to transcend them?"

Lu Yao took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, picked up the kettle next to her, and added water for Lin Chen: "You seem to understand things quite well."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "That's why I hope to become stronger. I don't mean to be stronger than anyone else, but I hope that whoever wants to bully me or provoke me will have to think twice and be wary of me."

Lu Yao smiled slightly: "Then what kind of strength do you think it takes to make people wary of you?"

Lin Chen thought for a moment: "Above the Great Luo is the Saint, and the Immortal Emperor rules over the entire Immortal Realm. I don't aspire to be a Saint like the Immortal Emperor. As long as my strength reaches the level of you and Qin Zheng, I think that in the entire Immortal Realm, I can at least not be someone that anyone can mess with, if not someone who can walk sideways."

Lu Yao smiled and said, "With our strength, we certainly can't dominate the Immortal Realm, but we can definitely dominate a region and be invincible. You can achieve that by cultivating Qin Zheng's Sovereign and Emperor Technique. However, not everyone can cultivate this technique; it depends on whether you are destined to do so."

Lin Chen's eyes widened: "What do you mean?"

Lu Yao explained in detail: "The cultivation method and the practitioner must be compatible to be effective. It's not just about matching spiritual roots and talents, but also about compatibility in terms of temperament and other aspects to achieve success."

"The Supreme Emperor Technique is an extremely powerful, fierce, and domineering technique. If the practitioner does not have the right mindset, it will be very difficult to learn it or to unleash its full power."

"Basically, it's not suitable for women to cultivate. As for you, it's hard to say. Judging from your mood, you don't seem like a strong person. You're more like me in personality—you don't like power and prefer freedom..."

Lin Chen wasn't disappointed by Lu Yao's assessment, and laughed, "Since you dislike power, how did you become the leader of a force and a big shot in the first place?"

Lu Yao laughed and said, "I'm carrying on the family tradition. I'm forced into this role. If I take it, others won't dare to fight anymore. If I don't, they'll fight to the death, and the world will be in chaos..."

Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh: "If I don't go to hell, who will? You're sacrificing yourself to save the country!"

Lu Yao sighed, "Although I sit in that position, I rarely get involved. But looking back, it's all pretty much the same. In the end, everything was unified by Qin Zheng. He is indeed very powerful, a ruthless and ambitious man. The unification of the world is not necessarily a bad thing. If he hadn't killed so many of my loyal people and family members, creating a blood feud, I might not have had to fight him to the death..."
