The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2306 Do you know what you've missed?

The middle-aged Taoist priest glanced at Lin Chen but remained silent.

"Buy and leave."

"open!"

"One, two, two, five small dots!"

Lin Chen laughed and turned his head, saying, "Thank you for showing me the way, fellow Daoist."

The middle-aged Taoist priest laughed and said, "Winning means leaving the game completely; that's what true victory is. Otherwise, all the achievements may just be a mirage."

Lin Chen nodded in agreement: "That makes sense."

Lin Chen didn't rush to chat with the Taoist priest, but instead gambled seriously. However, his betting always followed the middle-aged Taoist priest's, which seemed a little strange.

Following someone's bets is actually quite common in casinos. Whoever has the best luck will have people betting on them, and whoever has the worst luck will bet against them. For ordinary gamblers, this is the simplest and most practical trick.

Lin Chen followed the game for five or six rounds, winning and losing, but overall he still won some.

In the seventh round, Lin Chen continued to follow.

The middle-aged man bet three million spirit stones, and Lin Chen followed suit with three million.

"open!"

"Two, three, five, ten, big!"

Lost!

Lin Chen smiled slightly, his expression unchanged.

The eighth one.

A middle-aged Taoist priest places a bet.

Two million, that's a lot.

Lin Chen followed suit, betting two million, big.

The middle-aged Taoist priest turned to look at Lin Chen: "You've already lost, are you still going to continue?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Follow."

The middle-aged Taoist priest laughed and said, "You have so much confidence in me?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Isn't your Dragon Mountain Sect the most skilled at drawing talismans to predict fortune? Fellow Daoist, you must have also predicted your own fortune. Following your lead in placing bets will definitely not be bad."

The middle-aged Taoist priest narrowed his eyes slightly: "Judging from your tone, you don't seem to be a local?"

Lin Chen answered frankly, "I'm a rogue cultivator from a small place, a newcomer."

"Oh."

Lin Chen turned his head and asked, "Where do you come from, fellow Daoist?"

The middle-aged Taoist priest replied, "Longyun Mountain."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up slightly: "What a coincidence, I have a friend who also joined Longyun Mountain before, I wonder how he is doing now?"

The middle-aged Taoist priest looked slightly surprised: "Is your friend a disciple of Longyun Mountain? Outer or inner sect?" Lin Chen nodded: "I'm not quite sure. He went with Fellow Daoist Fuyunzi, who said he could be accepted into the Longyun Mountain sect leader's or his fellow disciples' sect..."

The middle-aged Taoist's expression changed drastically, and his hand, which had been toying with the chips, suddenly stopped: "Fellow Taoist, are you talking about... Nangong Ye?"

Lin Chen nodded in surprise: "Yes, it's him. Do you know him, fellow Daoist?"

The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled and said, "I've met him, but we're not close. He's a disciple of Master Hanshan. He's young, but his strength is extraordinary, and he has a bright future."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Is this person... very powerful?"

The middle-aged Taoist priest laughed and said, "A Great Immortal, the Deputy Hall Master of the Talisman Hall of Longyun Mountain, a talisman master, isn't that impressive?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "That's great."

Perhaps because Nangong Ye was his junior brother, and his friends were naturally not outsiders, the middle-aged Taoist priest became much more enthusiastic: "How shall I address you, fellow Daoist?"

"Lin Chen."

The middle-aged man showed a hint of surprise on his face, and looked Lin Chen over again for two seconds with a deep gaze before smiling and introducing himself: "I am Youhezi, the third disciple of the sect leader of Longyun Mountain."

Wow, good stuff!
Lin Chen had only casually struck up a conversation to inquire about Nangong Ye's recent situation, but he never expected that the person he randomly pulled out would actually be a disciple of the Dragon Cloud Mountain Sect Leader.

He's a big shot.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Disrespectful, disrespectful."

Youhezi shook his head, his gaze towards Lin Chen quite subtle: "Grandmaster Uncle mentioned you..."

Lin Chen was slightly surprised, but after thinking about You Hezi's identity, he understood.

When Fu Yunzi promoted Nangong Ye to the ranks of core disciples, it was natural that he would have some interaction with the sect leader and others. So, it was perfectly normal for him to casually mention himself.

Lin Chen smiled and asked, "What did Senior Fuyunzi say?"

Youhezi's gaze was slightly strange: "You really refused your grandmaster's invitation and refused to become his disciple?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, there are still many things holding me back, and I don't want to join any sect for the time being, so I can only disappoint your kindness, senior."

Youhezi's gaze was complex, it was hard to tell whether it was admiration, regret, or mockery.

Such a great opportunity, others would kill for it, yet you casually rejected it!

Do you know what you're missing out on?

After silently gambling a few more rounds, Youhezi spoke again: "Fellow Daoist Lin, what are you doing in the North Sea?"

Lin Chen answered frankly, "Visiting friends. A few friends of mine who came with me are in Beihai... As for you, I heard it's some kind of visit, but all I see are Taoist priests and Buddhist monks?"

Youhezi answered crisply, "We're going to fight the Sea God Cult."

Lin Chen's eyes widened in shock: "A fight?"

Youhezi shrugged, looking indifferent: "To put it nicely, you could call it a visit or a friendly exchange; to put it bluntly, it's a fight. Whoever wins has the right to speak..."

Lin Chen was speechless; this was way too direct.

There has to be a reason for arguing and fighting, right?
"What kind of right to speak?"
