The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2448 Daughter of an Old Friend?

Lin Chen carefully put the porcelain bottle away and let out a breath.

Now all that's left is to fool the Quasi-Saint, and I don't even know if it will work!
Lin Chen ascended upwards and soon emerged from the earth.

The tremors were clearly heard from afar, indicating that the terrifying battle was still ongoing.

Lin Chen did not head towards the battle, but instead turned and headed towards the camp.

With Fu Yunzi and Liu Yun joining forces, they naturally wouldn't lose. So, the most important thing for me now is to hand over the Phoenix Fire Spirit to the woman in red and end this trial.

Just as Lin Chen was about to leave, a red shadow flashed in the air, and the figure of a woman in red appeared in front of Lin Chen.

Lin Chen was slightly startled; they were indeed observing him in secret.

She probably didn't sense any of my actions underground.

Lin Chen cupped his hands and said, "Senior."

The woman in red stared at Lin Chen: "You've captured the Phoenix Fire Spirit?"

Lin Chen took out the porcelain bottle containing the Phoenix Fire Spirit's split body and handed it to the woman in red: "I have fulfilled my mission."

A hint of surprise flickered in the red-clad woman's eyes; she hadn't expected Lin Chen to actually manage to do it.

She naturally witnessed the battle between Fu Yunzi, Liu Yun, Gui Zhenren, and Meng Hui, as well as the cooperation between Guo Cheng and Jiang Wenyun. However, Lin Chen had captured the Phoenix Fire Spirit without anyone noticing.

At this moment, Guo Cheng and the others still thought that the Phoenix Fire Spirit had escaped to a more central location, and had no idea that it had fallen into Lin Chen's hands.

"How did you catch him?"

Lin Chen calmly replied, "Just a little trick, not worth mentioning."

The woman in red looked at Lin Chen as if trying to see through his heart. Lin Chen calmly met her gaze, his eyes not flinching in the slightest.

The woman in red stared for several seconds before lowering her gaze. The stopper of the porcelain bottle flew off, and the Phoenix Fire Spirit rushed out impatiently. However, it seemed as if there were invisible walls around it, blocking its way. It bumped around but could not escape.

The woman in red nodded in satisfaction and activated the porcelain bottle formation again, taking the Phoenix Fire Spirit inside.

"Good job, you did it."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she didn't seem to have noticed that he had tampered with the Phoenix Fire Spirit.

"So, does that mean I've passed the senior's test?"

The woman in red had a subtle look in her eyes: "Although Fu Yunzi and the others helped you hold off Ghost Master and the others, you captured the Phoenix Fire Spirit underground all by yourself, so... that's it!"

Lin Chen's eyes relaxed: "Then, senior, could you return the Linglong Pagoda to me?" The woman in red raised her hand, and the Linglong Pagoda appeared in her palm before flying towards Lin Chen.

Lin Chen waved his hand and held the exquisite pagoda in his palm.

"Sister Qi?"

Lin Chen heard Qi's voice in his mind: "I'm here, I'm fine."

Lin Chen's heart finally calmed down. He raised his head and looked at the woman in red: "Senior, you promised that if I kept my promise, you would tell us your identity and the information you knew..."

The woman in red looked at Lin Chen: "Are you asking on Qi's behalf?"

Lin Chen nodded: "I know I'm very weak right now and can't help Sister Qi at all, but as long as I don't die, I will keep growing and one day I will have the ability to help Sister Qi."

The woman in red said coldly, "Even if your opponent is a quasi-saint, or even a saint?"

saint?

Lin Chen was shocked, but his answer was clean, decisive and resolute: "When I was in my twenties, I was still just a mortal. Now, in just a few decades, I have become a Great Luo Immortal. What about me in a hundred or a thousand years? Whether I become a Quasi-Saint or a Saint, I am not born that way."

The woman in red sneered, "You certainly have ambition."

Lin Chen smiled nonchalantly: "The path of immortality is inherently about defying the heavens. Unless one achieves eternity, no matter how many years one lives, one will eventually die. As long as one is not afraid of death, what is there to fear?"

The woman in red chuckled lightly, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

Lin Chen calmly replied, "When I was still a mortal, I was a soldier. I risked my life and carried out many dangerous missions. In order to protect the country and my family, I could die at any time. For a soldier, death is not scary. What is scary is living a cowardly and shameful life."

"If I were afraid of dying, I would never have become a soldier."

The woman in red had a surprised expression on her face, seemingly astonished by Lin Chen's statement: "Indeed, it's quite good. No wonder Qi chose you... Alright, since you've done it, then I'll keep my word."

"My name is Luo Hongdan, and my father is Luo Qinghe..."

Qi's voice rang out in surprise: "You are Luo Qinghe's daughter?"

Luo Hongdan nodded: "Now you know why I know so much about you, right?"

"Luo Qinghe and the master are close friends, he knows my name... How is your father?"

Luo Hongdan shook her head and said, "My father failed to break through to the next realm. On his deathbed, he used a special method to pass on his skills and insights to me, which is how I became who I am today."

Lin Chen asked in surprise, "Breaking through...to the Saint Realm?"
