The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2379 It's not fair that you bear all the burden alone!

Lin Chen frowned and turned to look at Nalan Wushuang: "Nalan, about this matter, I..."

Before Lin Chen could finish speaking, Nalan Wushuang smiled slightly: "If I join the Sea God Sect, I can obtain a high position and enough cultivation resources and guidance. With my innate Dao Body without any bottlenecks, I will definitely make a fortune."

"The Sea God Cult is everywhere in the North Sea. Even if I join the Sea God Cult, I think I will still have time to go home often."

Shangguan Xuanyin's eyes lit up. He had only mentioned it casually and hadn't really taken it seriously, but he didn't expect Nalan Wushuang to take the initiative to respond.

He didn't understand what Fu Yunzi saw in Lin Chen. He preferred to believe that Fu Yunzi liked Lin Chen not because of his personality or character, since in his opinion, Nalan Wushuang, who was born with a Daoist physique, was definitely more promising than Lin Chen.

"If Fellow Daoist Nalan is truly willing to join, my sect will certainly give you a satisfactory position and treatment, which will definitely allow your strength to improve significantly in a short period of time, and even surpass mine."

"Don't worry, I am the Holy Son because others are not suitable for me. It doesn't mean I like being the Holy Son. If one day you surpass me and replace me as the Holy Maiden of the Sea God Cult, I will only be happy, because then I will have fewer things to do and can do what I like."

Shangguan Xuanyin's words indicated both the importance the Sea God Sect placed on Nalan Wushuang and her bright future after joining the sect, suggesting she could even replace him. He also specifically stated that he didn't care and even hoped she could achieve that.

Lin Chen glanced at Nalan Wushuang but did not discuss the matter with her on the spot. Instead, he looked at Shangguan Xuanyin and said, "Thank you for the invitation, Holy Son. My wife and I still need to discuss this matter. Consider this a favor we owe you. If you are truly defeated because of the Tide Pearl, we will give you an explanation, regardless of whether we join the Sea God Sect or not."

Shangguan Xuanyin smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, you are too kind. I lent the Tide Pearl willingly, and I did not stop or interfere along the way. This is the result of my own initiative. You do not owe me any favors. As for my invitation to you to join the Sea God Sect, it was purely because I saw that you two have extraordinary talents and wanted you to join. I believe you can become pillars of our sect. It has nothing to do with the Tide Pearl and there is no need to involve it."

With that, the matter was considered closed.

Shangguan Xuanyin repeatedly stated that they did not owe him any favors, but Lin Chen felt that they did. The rest was up to the two of them to handle their own affairs.

If Shangguan Xuanyin is telling the truth, then regardless of victory or defeat, he will not hold today's events against him. After all, as he said, he had the ability to prevent this from happening, but he did not. In addition, absorbing the spiritual power of the Tide Pearl was not Nalan Wushuang's intention, so it's no wonder that Nalan Wushuang is blamed.

Lin Chen acts only according to his own conscience.

Since you feel indebted, then find a way to repay it.

Although favors can be big or small, and are the hardest to repay, as long as you're alive and remember them, there's always a chance to repay them. There's no need to sacrifice yourself for a favor. If you really join the Sea God Cult, and others invest a lot of resources in you to help you cultivate and improve, it will be virtually impossible for you to leave.

Of course, Nalan Wushuang's words were not wrong. With her innate Daoist aptitude, if she joined the Sea God Sect and immediately took a high position and cultivated with the power of her will, her realm would definitely take off.

This matter is simply a matter of weighing the gains and the costs.

Shangguan Xuanyin took his leave gracefully, and Lin Chen escorted him to the door before closing the door and returning to the room.

Nalan Wushuang said with a wry smile, "I've caused trouble for everyone."

We are all one family now, and we will share both good fortune and misfortune, which is why Nalan Wushuang said this.

Lin Chen laughed and said, "What's so troublesome about this? Advancing through a strange phenomenon is not easy. Although you have to pay a price, isn't that normal? Even in cultivation, you have to obtain a lot of cultivation resources. There's no such thing as a free lunch."

Before Lin Chen could bring up the matter of joining the sect, Nalan Wushuang took the initiative to say, "If he really loses because of the Sea Tide Pearl, I will join the Sea God Sect to repay this favor."

Lin Chen frowned: "The Sea God Sect is powerful. Joining it would certainly bring great benefits, but it's easy to get in but hard to get out."

Nalan Wushuang laughed and said, "If my strength is not enough to be free in the Sea God Sect, then whether I am free or not is a joke. But if I am strong enough, then I can be free if I want to be."

"Now that everyone has settled in Beihai, although there are many defenses on the island, we still need to travel outside. If I join the Sea God Cult, on the one hand, I can quickly improve my strength, and on the other hand, I can provide protection for everyone in Beihai."

Lin Chen stared into Nalan Wushuang's eyes: "Do you really want to go?"

Nalan Wushuang said seriously, "Even if we don't go to the Sea God Sect, I want to find another way out. The cultivation resources of so many of us combined are a terrifying number, and the demand will only increase in the future. It's not fair to rely on you alone, Brother Chen..."
