The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2426 The Mysterious and Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth, it really is you!

The woman's laughter was soft and crisp, possessing a peculiar magic that made men's hearts flutter.

Upon closer inspection, the sound didn't enter through his ears, but rather resonated directly in Lin Chen's mind.

Lin Chen looked around. There were other adventurers not far away, but they were all looking at Li Qianxing ahead and whispering among themselves, seemingly unaware of the laughter.

Was he the only one who heard that laughter?

Lin Chen felt a chill run down his spine. In such a tense and fearful situation, the fact that this woman could still laugh so lightly and casually meant there was only one possibility.

This woman is the owner of the Roulette Secret Realm!
She's secretly watching everyone!

Thinking of this, Lin Chen's mood instantly became extremely tense.

With so many people present, and his clone being relatively weak and inconspicuous, why was the other party targeting him?
Lin Chen's mind raced, and he quickly came up with two possible reasons.

First, everyone else is in their true form, while I am in a clone, which makes me obvious to others, since the master of the Roulette Secret Realm is most likely a quasi-saint.

It's normal that ordinary immortals can't see through their own clones, but quasi-saints can detect something amiss, right?

Secondly, the battle between Fuyunzi and Guizhenren was so fierce that the world was almost shattered. If the master of the Wheel Realm were aware of such a commotion, he would definitely pay attention to everyone, and naturally, he would also pay attention to himself.

If it's the first possibility, that's fine, but if it's the second possibility, that's a bit scary.

If the Lord of the Secret Realm noticed them immediately, wouldn't he have seen them being taken into the Linglong Tower?

She's been paying attention to herself all along?

Lin Chen's back was soaked with cold sweat.

It was a small laugh, but it was still terrifying.

Lin Chen thought about it and decided that if he was indeed being targeted, he might as well be bold and talk to the other party directly, at least he would have a chance to negotiate.

If the other party has any plans, once they are launched, even someone like Li Qianxing probably won't be able to stop them, let alone himself.

Lin Chen quietly retreated and walked into the darkness behind him.

Although some people noticed Lin Chen's departure, no one cared. After all, with life and death out of their control, who could care about others?

Who doesn't have their own little schemes?
There are advantages to gathering together, but there are also risks involved.

Lin Chen wasn't the only one who managed to hide alone. After all, a large group of people makes you an easy target, while hiding alone means you might escape unnoticed.

After traveling hundreds of miles, Lin Chen stopped, looked around, and cupped his hands in greeting: "Senior, are you the master of this secret realm? Please show yourself." Lin Chen looked around but received no response.

Lin Chen frowned, raised his voice again, and repeated himself.

A gentle breeze suddenly arose, carrying a faint, delicate fragrance—the kind of scent that lingers and makes you want to inhale it a few more times.

Lin Chen suddenly turned his head and saw a slender figure standing in front of him, silent and still, like a ghost.

It really came out!
Even though Lin Chen had a strong heart, he couldn't help but shudder and was genuinely startled.

Lin Chen casually pointed, and a fireball rose up, illuminating the surroundings and the slender woman in red.

The woman in red looked very young, around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, the most beautiful and charming time of her life. She just quietly looked at Lin Chen, without any intimidating aura, but Lin Chen still felt an overwhelming pressure pressing down on him.

Are top-tier business leaders really this approachable?

I called out to her a couple of times, and she actually came out?
Lin Chen was puzzled, but dared not show it at all. He cupped his hands and said, "Junior Lin Chen greets senior!"

The woman in red glanced at Lin Chen a few times and chuckled, "A clone? Heh, is your real body inside the tower?"

Lin Chen's heart clenched suddenly. Just as he was about to answer, the woman in red raised her arm and pointed it at him.

Lin Chen instantly lost control of his body, while the exquisite pagoda that had been lying quietly in his pocket gently floated out.

Golden light burst forth from the exquisite pagoda, but it still could not resist this invisible power, and slowly floated in front of the woman in red.

Lin Chen was filled with fear, and became even more certain that the woman was a quasi-saint.

The woman in red's gaze fell on the exquisite pagoda, and a smile slowly appeared in her eyes.

"The Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, I knew I wasn't mistaken, it really is you!"

Lin Chen was shocked. He had only used the Linglong Pagoda for a short time, and apart from taking people inside, the pagoda had not shown any other magic. Yet, he had been recognized.

Lin Chen has used the Linglong Pagoda many times, but so far, this woman in red is the first person to recognize the origin of the Linglong Pagoda and call out its full name!

Quasi-Saint!

Sister Qi once said that her master once led her in a great battle against a group of peerless experts. In the end, her master sent her away, and she was never heard from again.

This woman is a quasi-saint, and she can recognize the identity of the Linglong Pagoda in one breath. Could she be one of the peerless experts who are chasing down Sister Qi's master?
