The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2267 What's there to talk about when someone is a defeated opponent?

"Who are you? And who are those three Great Immortals above?"

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "Senior, would you like to hear the truth or a lie?"

The aged voice seemed somewhat surprised, and asked with interest, "What does it matter if it's the truth or a lie?"

Lin Chen replied, "The three of them belong to three competing immortal sects within the same region. The most powerful one in their sect is a Grand Luo Immortal, that's the truth. As for me..."

"If you want to hear a lie, I am Taixu's servant, specially sent here to guard the Yin-Yang Spring. That is the identity I told those three people outside."

"If you want to hear the truth, then I'm sorry, I'm just a wandering cultivator from a small place. I got to where I am today step by step with a bit of luck and the help of benefactors. That's all."

The aged voice sounded somewhat surprised: "Rogue cultivator, judging from your appearance, you're probably not even a hundred years old, are you?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Calling me a rogue cultivator isn't entirely accurate. My master in the mortal realm, based on the strength of cultivators, is probably only at the Qi Refining stage. My master in the Desolate Realm is only at the Void Transformation stage. The most powerful person in my sect in the Thunder Immortal Domain is probably my master whom I've never met; he's a Great Luo Immortal, but I don't know his strength. As for the strongest person in the sect, he's only at the early stage of the Heavenly Immortal realm. Now that I've come to the Myriad Gods Immortal Domain, I have no sect and no support, so I call myself a rogue cultivator..."

The aged voice held a hint of surprise: "It seems you are indeed quite lucky. You have already developed the ability to create clones even before advancing to the Great Luo realm. I doubt those three people outside could tell that it was a clone, could they?"

Lin Chen said with a smile, "Senior's insight is naturally beyond the reach of ordinary people."

The aged voice chuckled, "There's plenty of time. Why don't you tell me your story? I've been here for far too long and haven't had a proper chat with anyone in ages."

Lin Chen sat cross-legged in the air and began to tell his story.

The owner of this sword knew Taixu, but Taixu was unwilling to help him or cause any trouble. This suggests that the owner of this sword is not someone to be trifled with and may be extremely powerful, perhaps even stronger than Taixu.

The unknown being pierced through the body by the giant sword was certainly not as strong as the sword's owner, but it was probably not weak either. After all, it was able to fight the world to such an extent and then change the world on its own. How could such a being be weak?
Through getting to know Sister Qi, Fuyunzi, Taixu, and others, Lin Chen discovered that these people viewed people in a completely different way than ordinary cultivators.

They were all exceptionally powerful individuals, having witnessed countless extraordinary talents and powerful figures. Such people seemed utterly ordinary to them, while Lin Chen, an unremarkable anomaly, appeared quite "interesting." Since Taixu hadn't saved this formidable life, Lin Chen didn't know if the creature harbored resentment towards Taixu. Therefore, the identity of Taixu's servant might not be reliable; perhaps the other party harbored hatred because of him.

Lin Chen didn't know what the other party wanted him to do, but regardless, he wanted to eliminate any potential problems first.

If the other party thinks that I am a rogue cultivator with low strength and no background, and that I can't do the things they ask me to do, then I can just leave. At worst, I can run for my life. If the other party doesn't care about my strength at all because of my own strength, then my "interesting" rogue cultivator status might actually be an advantage.

Judging from the current situation, the other party seems quite interested in me?
Lin Chen concealed some things that might attract the other party's attention, such as the Yin-Yang Water and Fire Mirror, and roughly told his story.

The aged voice said with great interest, "You deceived them, yet they still treated you like an honored guest?"

Lin Chen shrugged: "If I hadn't said that, they probably would have kept chasing me."

The old voice laughed loudly, "A mere celestial being actually fooled by three Grand Luo Immortals, you certainly have some guts..."

Lin Chen countered, "Senior, I've already told you my story, shouldn't you tell me about yourself too? I know absolutely nothing about you right now."

The aged voice snorted, "Just someone else's defeated opponent, what's there to talk about?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "It seems I am not the person you are waiting for, senior. In that case, I will take my leave. If you need anything, senior, I can call down the three people upstairs for you. They are all Great Luo Immortals, and they will surely be more capable of helping you."

The aged voice seemed somewhat surprised by Lin Chen's initiative to back down: "You risked your life to rush down here, wasn't it for a possible adventure, but to hear a story? You're leaving without even asking me what I need you for?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Senior, even with your extraordinary strength, you are trapped here. Compared to you, my strength is no different from that of an ant. I might not be able to help you. Besides, I don't even know who you are or why you are suppressed here. Even if I were to actually help you, I wouldn't dare to lend a hand. Otherwise, if I help you, you could turn around and kill me with a single move. Wouldn't I be at a huge loss?"
