The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2259 Octopus, such a huge octopus!

Lin Chen knew Qi Bingbing very well. All of this woman's affection was fake; she had her own ulterior motives.

She was simultaneously flirting with Lu Dingwu and Han Zhaosheng, constantly professing it true love, but when Han Zhaosheng "died," she showed no sign of sadness.

She doesn't care at all.

Or rather, the only person she cared about was herself.

Lin Chen remained aloof in the face of Qi Bingbing's flattery. The more arrogant he acted, the more it fit his current persona. Once he dropped this aloof mask, Qi Bingbing would definitely take the opportunity to inquire about Taixu Zhenren's affairs, which he knew nothing about.

Zhong Shuyu and Su Yanran watched Qi Bingbing's various actions towards Lin Chen and cursed inwardly. This Qi Wuchang was truly despicable. In order to get closer to Lin Chen, he actually sent his granddaughter to use her beauty to seduce him!
Shameless!
Along the way, the group subtly probed, but Lin Chen remained noncommittal. The others didn't dare to ask any excessive questions, so they didn't reveal anything.

Lin Chen made up a story for himself: he was born in a small town, and by chance, he was chosen by Master Taixu and taken in. Nominally, he was a servant, but in reality, he was being trained as a disciple. He had never left the house and knew little about the outside world.

This upbringing highlights both my status as a servant and my lack of understanding of the outside world, which is why I don't know the answers to any of the questions you ask me!

On this day, as the group was traveling, a beam of light suddenly appeared from afar and shot rapidly toward Qi Wuchang.

Qi Wuchang frowned, reached out and grabbed it, and a radiant light appeared in his hand—a distress talisman that was emitting a bright glow.

Qi Wuchang scanned the talisman with his divine sense, his expression darkened, and he turned to say, "Fellow Daoist Lin, our sect's disciples are trapped, and I must go to their rescue."

Lin Chen readily nodded: "Let's go together."

Qi Wuchang breathed a sigh of relief: "Good!"

Qi Wuchang looked at Zhong Shuyu and Su Yanran, and the two exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Let's go together, so we can do our part."

Qi Wuchang naturally knew what the two were thinking, but saving lives was urgent and there was no time to lose.

After all, he was a high-ranking member of Qingcheng Garden and had the responsibility of protecting the sect's disciples.

The ones who fall into his hands with the distress talismans are not just outer disciples, but inner core disciples or even true disciples. These are the future of the sect and must be taken seriously.

With a wave of his sleeve, Qi Wuchang enveloped Qi Bingbing and the others as if by an invisible force. Since they were too slow, Qi Wuchang prepared to carry them forward.

Lin Chen refused the suggestion to be carried along, and used the Shrinking Earth Technique to instantly teleport a hundred miles away. His eyes lit up as he looked at Qi Wuchang and the others.

As expected of someone close to Master Taixu, even a servant possesses such outstanding agility.

The group transformed into several streaks of light and headed towards the direction indicated by the distress talisman.

Soon, the group arrived at the location of the distress signal, but it wasn't some desolate mountain wilderness or deep canyon; instead, it was a boundless body of water. This body of water was dark green, and when their divine sense swept over it, it was inexplicably blocked, only able to scan for about a thousand meters before being unable to go any further. And below that thousand meters, there was still empty, bottomless water.

Zhong Shuyu looked around: "Where is the person who called for help? Could they already be...?"

Zhong Shuyu didn't finish his sentence, but everyone guessed what he meant, and their expressions immediately turned serious.

This body of water is able to block the divine sense of even a Great Luo Immortal, which shows that this body of water must have something special about it, and it is impossible for such a large body of water to be without demonic beasts.

"boom!"

Just as everyone was wondering, a deep, thunderous sound suddenly came from the water, and large sprays of water suddenly erupted from the surface, making the entire surface of the water churn and churn as if it had boiled.

"There is a fight underwater."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sword aura flew out from the bottom of the water and soared into the sky.

"I'm going down to save them."

Qi Wuchang threw himself into the water, and the water automatically parted to create a channel. Qi Wuchang then traveled rapidly downwards along the channel.

A moment later, a huge impact suddenly came from underwater, and the entire water area seemed to tremble violently. Huge waves surged and churned on the surface. Countless monsters burst out from the bottom of the water and darted around on the surface. Many even flew out of the water, as if fleeing in panic.

"The fight started!"

Zhong Shuyu looked at the water's surface and frowned: "It seems there are powerful magical beasts beneath these waters..."

Lin Chen asked, "Fellow Daoist Qi is powerful, you should be able to handle this, right?"

Su Yanran's expression was grave: "The impact from below is very powerful and continuous, so it probably won't be that easy."

As everyone was discussing, the water suddenly parted, and three figures flew out from underwater. Judging from their clothes, they were inner disciples of Qingyuan City.

The three men were deathly pale, their eyes filled with undisguised terror and relief at having escaped death.

Su Yanran asked, "What's going on next?"

The three exchanged a glance, their expressions filled with horror, and exclaimed in unison, "An octopus! A huge octopus!"
