The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2375 May I have the privilege of viewing the Sea Tide Pearl?
"Cult Leader level, third battle."

"The first generation of disciples, namely myself, and the three holy sons of the three religions, fought three battles."

"A battle between the representatives of the Sea God Cult and the representatives of the three cults."

"There will be a total of seven battles, with a best-of-seven format."

Shangguan Xuanyin answered Lin Chen's question readily, after all, it wasn't a secret, it was something that had already been agreed upon, and it would be announced to the world before the battle.

Lin Chen's eyes widened: "The representatives of the Sea God Sect and the three sects, is this a duel between the strongest members of the Sea God Sect and the three sects?"

Shangguan Xuanyin smiled and said, "Yes, the matter is of great importance. If it is decided based on the victory or defeat of a few juniors, people will eventually be dissatisfied. Therefore, these seven battles are to be fought at several levels, such as the current, future, and the strongest at this moment. Even if they lose, there will be no complaints."

Lin Chen suddenly felt a sense of anticipation.

The battle of the strongest!
"There are three Holy Sons of the Three Religions, but you are the only Holy Son of the Sea God Sect. Will two other people be selected?"

Shangguan Xuanyin nodded and said, "If I am not injured, I will fight the three of them in turn. If I am injured and my combat strength is reduced, others will fill in."

Lin Chen exclaimed, "One against three, Holy Son, how heroic!"

Shangguan Xuanyin narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly judging the veracity of Lin Chen's words: "Fellow Daoist Lin seems to favor the Three Teachings and hopes for their victory?"

Lin Chen answered frankly, "I met Senior Fuyunzi of Longyun Mountain once and he wanted to take me as his disciple, but I refused due to some personal reasons. This can be considered a kind of fate, so when we were attacked at sea, I tried to save Xuanhe and the others."

"The three religions are grateful that I saved the three sons, so they gave me tokens and promised to help me solve the problem. This is to repay the favor I owe them, which is why they are willing to help me deal with Ghost Master."

"Because I have connections with people from the three religions, and Senior Liu Yunzi from Wuling Mountain has given me a lot of guidance, I am definitely biased towards the three religions emotionally and hope that they can win."

Shangguan Xuanyin said in surprise, "Fuyunzi is the strongest expert in Longyun Mountain. He wanted to take you as his disciple, but you refused?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I'm used to being free and independent, so I don't really want to join a sect."

Shangguan Xuanyin looked Lin Chen up and down with surprise in his eyes.

Since Lin Chen dared to tell me this, he obviously wasn't making it up. After all, the people from the three sects would arrive soon, and a little inquiry would reveal the truth.

Shangguan Xuanyin had initially thought Lin Chen was just a somewhat skilled and lucky rogue cultivator, but now, hearing that Lin Chen had actually rejected Fuyunzi, he was truly astonished. Fuyunzi was the only expert on Dragon Cloud Mountain to have comprehended the Dragon Mountain Cloud Dream Technique, possessing ridiculously strong abilities. It was said that he disliked restraint and wandered everywhere, and coupled with his high standards, he had never taken on any disciples. For him to have taken a liking to Lin Chen—wasn't that Lin Chen's good fortune?
Lin Chen actually refused!
Shangguan Xuanyin couldn't help but ask, "When you refused, did you know Fuyunzi's identity?"

Lin Chen understood the meaning behind Shangguan Xuanyin's question and smiled, "I know."

He brought this up simply to clarify his connection with the Longshan Sect, not to elevate his status, since he had no desire for either the Longshan Sect or the Sea God Sect.

Without desire, one is strong.

Lin Chen glanced at the three women beside him, including Ziyun, and smiled, "Although the Dragon Mountain Sect also allows marriage, it requires its disciples to be devoted to the Dao. I was born and raised in the mortal world, and I am attached to it. I can't bear to part with it, so even though this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me, I can only grit my teeth and refuse it."

"To be honest, after I firmly refused, I went back to bed that night and couldn't fall asleep for a long time."

"Pfft!"

Gu Yuexi couldn't help but chuckle, almost bursting out laughing. She quickly forced herself to hold it in and turned her head to look in the other direction.

Ziyun's eyes darted around, a hint of a smile playing on them. Could she not sleep?

I didn't see you having trouble sleeping.

Shangguan Xuanyin became more curious about Lin Chen. What was it about this person that attracted Fuyunzi and made him want to take him as a disciple?
Many people dream of becoming Fuyunzi's apprentices, but Fuyunzi always looks down on them and never accepts them.

Could it be because of Lin Chen's eccentric personality?
Shangguan Xuanyin laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist is joking. In any case, Fellow Daoist Lin's ability to refuse this opportunity is enough to prove that you are extraordinary. After all, not everyone can gain Fuyunzi's favor, and not everyone can refuse this opportunity so decisively."

Shangguan Xuanyin's words were sincere. As the strongest person in the Dragon Mountain Sect, Fuyunzi was among the top in the entire Myriad Gods Immortal Realm. To become his only personal disciple, not to mention how much he would learn, the status alone was extraordinary, and he would be respected wherever he went.

Lin Chen waved his hand: "Let's not talk about that. I saw waves rolling around on your body before. It's said to be the effect of the Sea God Sect's treasure, the Sea Tide Pearl?"

Shangguan Xuanyin nodded: "Yes, this thing can control the tide of spiritual energy. To some extent, it can be considered a domain. Those who are deeply trapped in the tide of spiritual energy will be directly killed by the tide, and those who are strong will have their combat power reduced."

Lin Chen smiled and pointed at Nalan Wushuang: "My wife Nalan Wushuang possesses the extraordinary phenomenon of the Golden Lotus Blooming in the Azure Sea. The power of the Azure Sea is very similar to that of the Tide Pearl. I wonder if I could borrow the Tide Pearl to take a look?"
