The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2310 If you've gotten into trouble, you can mention my name!
"Fellow Daoists, my name is Lin Chen..."

In the upscale restaurant, Lin Chen smiled and introduced himself, as well as Zi Yun.

The Taoist priests who came to the banquet all turned their gazes to Lin Chen, some with inquiries, some with curiosity, and some with doubts.

Although they belong to three forces—Dragon Cloud Mountain, Martial Spirit Mountain, and Phoenix Snow Mountain—Fu Yunzi holds a very special position within the entire Dragon Mountain Sect. He belongs to Dragon Cloud Mountain, but he also enjoys a highly respected status in Martial Spirit Mountain and Phoenix Snow Mountain, making him a legendary figure within the Dragon Mountain Sect.

Fu Yunzi offered to take Lin Chen as his disciple, but Lin Chen refused.
The Taoists who came to the banquet were very curious about what kind of person Lin Chen was, who could refuse such a rare opportunity and thus accept Lin Chen's invitation.

Xuanhezi was thin, with a cold gaze and a serious demeanor. He also looked very young, appearing to be a young man in his late twenties.

From the moment Lin Chen entered, Xuan Hezi's gaze was fixed on him, scrutinizing him. After a long while, a hint of disappointment appeared in his eyes.

This Lin Chen seems pretty ordinary.

Why would Grandmaster Uncle Fuyunzi take a liking to him and want to take him as a disciple?

When Youhezi introduced Xuanhezi, Xuanhezi simply nodded slightly to Lin Chen without saying a word or showing any sign of intimacy.

Lin Chen didn't care. Xuan Hezi was so young and already able to represent the Dragon Mountain Sect in the battle. He was obviously a prodigy, a genius of monstrous talent. Wasn't it normal for him to be a little arrogant?
Lin Chen invited the Longshan Sect members to dinner not to curry favor with anyone, but simply to show his goodwill.

Fu Yunzi wanted to take him as a disciple, but he refused, which made Lin Chen feel a little embarrassed. Now that he had met someone from Longyun Mountain, he took the initiative to host a banquet to show his attitude and return the favor.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, I heard that Grandmaster Uncle Fuyunzi wanted to take you as his disciple, but you refused. Is that true?"

Lin Chen answered frankly, "Yes, I am ashamed to face your kindness, senior. The main reason is that I still have a lot of things to do and I have no plans to join the sect for the time being."

"Joining Longyun Mountain and what you want to do are not in conflict, are they? Grandmaster Uncle Fuyunzi has never taken on any disciples before, but now he has taken the initiative to offer this opportunity. This is a rare opportunity, but you have refused. It is such a pity."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Senior Fuyunzi said that I am destined to meet him again in the future."

Fu Yunzi had said that he could become Fu Yunzi's disciple at any time if he changed his mind, and this promise was always valid. However, Lin Chen did not elaborate on this, otherwise it would seem too pretentious.

It was obvious to everyone how much these people regretted Lin Chen's refusal to become his disciple. It was clear that they were quite envious of his treatment, and if he were to show off any further, it would be like killing him with his spirit.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, what brings you to the North Sea this time?" Lin Chen replied, "We come from the Thunder Immortal Realm. Our other companions are near the Azure God Sect. We've come here to join them."

Xuanhezi suddenly asked, "What is your current strength?"

Lin Chen hesitated for a moment before answering frankly, "I've just entered the Great Luo Realm."

Youhezi's eyes widened in surprise: "I remember my grandmaster saying that you were only at the level of a Celestial Immortal, and you've already broken through in such a short time?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, I just broke through not long ago."

Youhezi praised, "You actually broke through to the Great Luo realm in such a short time. Your talent and comprehension are amazing... No wonder your grandmaster took the initiative to offer to take you as his disciple."

Lin Chen humbly replied, "My talent and comprehension are average; I'm just lucky."

Xuanhezi asked one question, and then remained silent.

Although the dishes were all high-class and delicious, the meal did not last long.

Lin Chen clearly sensed that this group of people hadn't come to the banquet for the food; they probably just wanted to see him and what kind of person could refuse Fu Yunzi. Now that their curiosity had been satisfied, they had no intention of engaging in any further conversation.

As they parted, Youhezi reminded them, "The Qingshen Sect is a sea race power, and the sea race has always been extremely powerful. You must be careful when you are active in the sea race's territory. Also, if you get into trouble, you can mention the name of our Longyun Mountain."

Lin Chen was slightly touched; Youhezi was treating him like one of his own.

"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist. We will proceed with caution."

Lin Chen and Zi Yun returned to their room. Zi Yun smiled and said, "I originally thought they would be very resistant to you, but throughout the whole dinner, apart from Xuan Hezi who was taciturn, everyone else treated you quite well."

Lin Chen chuckled and joked, "Although I rejected Fu Yunzi, I still have a chance to become Fu Yunzi's disciple. According to seniority, we would be his senior uncles."

"If they resist me and target me, aren't they afraid that I'll turn around and become their master and uncle?"
