The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2414 Shangguan Wenyin's Entrustment

Shangguan Wenyin remained silent for a moment, then nodded silently, acknowledging Lin Chen's statement.

Lin Chen asked with concern, "The vice sect leader is shifting the blame to you. Will you be punished when you go back?"

Shangguan Wenyin said calmly, "I don't know. I have done my best and have a clear conscience. I will inform the sect leader about this matter. If the sect leader also believes that the blame lies with me, then I will take responsibility."

Lin Chen asked, "The sect leader is the sea god, right?"

"Correct!"

Lin Chen couldn't help but ask, "What kind of person is he? Do you know him? Do you think he would be harsh on you?"

Shangguan Wenyin smiled wryly, "The sect leader rarely appears. Even as the Holy Son, I have only seen him a few times, and even then, I couldn't see his true face..."

Lin Chen's eyes widened: "No way, you're the Holy Son of the Sea God Sect, yet you can't even see the Sect Leader's true face? That's too mysterious!"

Shangguan Wenyin calmly said, "The sect leader is extremely like the sea god, receiving the worship of countless believers, and is like a god. This is quite normal."

Lin Chen casually asked, "If you don't know his real identity, does the deputy leader know? Someone has to know, otherwise, if your leader is impersonated one day, you won't even know."

Shangguan Wenyin laughed and said, "As the Sea God, the Sect Leader's cultivation method is unique in the world, and his physical phenomena are also unique. Who can impersonate him, and who would dare to impersonate him?"

Lin Chen was just mentioning it casually; naturally, he didn't really think anyone could impersonate him, otherwise, wouldn't things be chaotic?
The leader of the Sea God Cult, bearing the power of countless believers' wishes, is a god-like being in some respects. His strength is probably immense; even if he is not a saint, he is likely to be a formidable opponent below the saint level.

"What do you find me for?"

Shangguan Wenyin stopped in his tracks: "I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Lin Chen was slightly taken aback; those words sounded so familiar.

Previously, the Ghost Prince wanted to lure and kill me, using Shangguan Wenyin's identity, saying he wanted me to do him a favor. Now, the real Shangguan Wenyin is saying the same thing.

Seeing Lin Chen staring blankly, Shangguan Wenyin subconsciously explained, "If it's inconvenient for you..."

Lin Chen waved his hand and smiled, "I was thinking about something else. Yesterday, someone impersonated you to lure me out, using the same excuse, so I paused for a moment... Go ahead."

Shangguan Wenyin asked in surprise, "Who is impersonating me?"

Lin Chen casually replied, "I saw through Ghost Master's disciple... Never mind that, go ahead."

Shangguan Wenyin seemed conflicted, but finally made up his mind: "I want you to go to a place to find someone, deliver a letter to her, and then take her away to a safe place that only you know about and no one else can find." Lin Chen looked at Shangguan Wenyin in surprise: "Isn't that a bit much? As the Holy Son of the Sea God Sect, you wouldn't need to ask an outsider like me for such a small matter, would you?"

Shangguan Wenyin replied frankly, "Vice Leader Wei is keeping an eye on me right now. Although I am the Holy Son, I am not sure if the people around me are loyal to me. Compared to them, I am more willing to trust you. This is a private matter. If you are not willing, you can just refuse."

"I promise you."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "It's nothing serious, but I need to go out for a while and I'm afraid I won't be able to get away for a while..."

Shangguan Wenyin asked, "How long will it take you to get out?"

"A few months, but it shouldn't exceed a year."

This timeframe was estimated by Lin Chen and the others, because with the Ghost Prince, an experienced guide, it shouldn't take long to find the healing sanctuary after entering the Holy Spring Secret Realm.

Fu Yunzi and Xuanhe needed to heal their injuries, but Lin Chen was not injured. He was just going along and did not need to stay in the secret realm.

Shangguan Wenyin nodded: "No problem within three years. Are you willing to help me with this?"

Lin Chen readily agreed, "Once we find her, we'll take her somewhere no one else can find her, ensuring her safety, right?"

Shangguan Wenyin nodded: "Yes, after you finish your business, you can leave a message at the Longshan Sect camp or branch. When it's convenient for me, I'll come find you and get the message."

Lin Chen replied decisively, "Okay, I'll take care of this after my master and I finish our business."

Shangguan Wenyin took out a jade slip and a recording stone and handed them to Lin Chen: "The jade slip contains information about the person I'm looking for. After you find her, give her the recording stone, and she will go with you."

Lin Chen took it: "Can you tell me who this person is?"

Shangguan Wenyin smiled and said, "Once you find her, just ask her directly."

Seeing Shangguan Wenyin acting mysteriously, Lin Chen didn't press further: "I borrowed the Tide Pearl before, so I owe you a favor..."

Shangguan Wenyin interrupted Lin Chen, saying, "You've done me this favor, which means you've repaid it."

Lin Chen frowned and said, "This matter is too simple. It's a bit much to ask for favors as well."

Shangguan Wenyin replied, "This matter is a small matter for you, but a big matter for me. That's why I dare not entrust this matter to anyone close to me..."
