The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2489 You two have really grown up!
"In any case, go back and tell Aunt Lan what happened, and the rest is their business."

Lin Chen has no feelings or responsibilities towards the Qing Shen Sect; the only person he is connected to is Yao Xiong.

The group embarked on their journey home, and without incident, they returned safely to the Qing Shen Sect.

Yao Xuanji sent a message to Yao Xiong, and soon Yao Xiong and Lan Xinyu arrived at the courtyard where everyone was staying.

"Lin Chen, what happened?"

Lin Chen recounted what had happened: "I don't understand what they mean by saying that the Qing Shen Sect is about to face a great calamity, but I think it's necessary to tell you."

Lan Xinyu's eyes widened in shock: "You killed a high-grade Grand Luo Immortal?"

Lin Chen answered frankly, "It's a sword technique left to me by a senior, it's consumable, and can only be used once."

Lan Xinyu looked at Lin Chen as if she were seeing him for the first time.

Yao Xiong asked, "The other party's identity is unknown?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, there were no identification marks. I was trapped by the storm at the time. When the storm subsided, the young master and the others had run away."

Yao Xiong turned his head and said, "If anyone is targeting the Qing Shen Sect, it must be because of this banquet..."

Lan Xinyu said in a deep voice, "The banquet has invited many guests. If something goes wrong, the Qing Shen Sect will lose face."

Yao Xiong frowned: "The banquet hasn't started yet, can it be canceled?"

Lan Xinyu said with a wry smile, "The invitations have already been sent out. If we cancel now, that would be a real loss of face. Besides, there is no clear information yet. If Lin Chen cancels the banquet based on just one sentence he heard, even if I agree, the others in the sect will not agree."

Yao Xiong thought for a moment and suggested, "Since it can't be canceled, we have to take precautions. Since this group of people have arrived in Qingye City but haven't made a move, they are probably waiting for the day of the grand banquet."

Lan Xinyu pondered for a moment: "I'll go see the sect leader now and see what he has to say..."

Just then, Lan Zhengwu's voice came from the courtyard gate.

"Lin Chen, come out here! I challenge you again!"

Lan Yiwen's voice rang out immediately afterward: "Come out quickly, don't hide, we know you're back!"

The expressions on everyone's faces instantly became quite subtle. Lan Xinyu frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Lin Chen coughed lightly and stood up: "I'll go take a look."

Lin Chen arrived at the door, opened it, and saw Lan Zhengwu and his sister standing there, along with a man in his thirties who looked arrogant.

When Lan Zhengwu saw Lin Chen come out, his spirits immediately lifted: "Lin Chen, I challenge you again! This time I won't lose!" Lin Chen blinked: "We've already fought once, can't we make peace?"

Lan Zhengwu sneered, "Stop pretending. This is the Qing Shen Sect. If I let a poor outsider like you win, how can I face anyone here?"

Lin Chen sized up the arrogant man: "You asked that Senior Brother Zhao to step in before, but he lost. So you brought in another one. If that one loses too, won't you have to keep bringing in reinforcements until you win?"

Lan Zhengwu said smugly, "Senior Brother Chen's strength is far beyond what Senior Brother Zhao can match. Just wait to be beaten to the ground!"

Lin Chen frowned and asked, "Is it absolutely necessary to fight?"

"Of course we have to fight!"

Lan Zhengwu thought Lin Chen must have chickened out, and his arrogance grew even stronger: "If you don't want to fight, that's fine. Kneel down and apologize, admit that you're a country bumpkin, and we'll let this matter go."

Lan Yiwen chimed in, "You even punched my brother, so he has to hit you back. Otherwise, Senior Brother Chen will beat you black and blue and make you lose all face!"

Just as Lin Chen was about to speak, Lan Xinyu's cold voice came from behind: "Who's the bumpkin? Who should kneel down and apologize?"

When Lan Zhengwu and his sister looked up, they saw Lan Xinyu with a cold face appear at the door, and their faces turned pale instantly.

"Aunt... Aunt!"

Lan Zhengwu swallowed hard, sniffed, and his previous arrogance vanished instantly, like a mouse that had seen a cat.

Lan Yiwen shrank back and hid behind Lan Zhengwu, her eyes filled with fear, clearly terrified.

The man who had been looking arrogant and silent, acting like a master, suddenly changed his expression, revealing an extremely embarrassed look on his face.

"Uncle Master!"

Lan Xinyu walked out the door, her stern gaze sweeping over the two of them before landing on Lan Zhengwu's face: "Zhengwu, what's going on?"

Lan Zhengwu stammered, trying to figure out how to fool his aunt, when Lan Xinyu coldly shouted, "Speak!"

Lan Zhengwu trembled in fright, all thoughts vanished from his mind in an instant, and he honestly recounted what had happened.

Lan Xinyu looked at Lin Chen beside her with a serious expression: "Is that so?"

Lin Chen coughed lightly and said, "More or less."

Lan Xinyu stared at Lan Zhengwu and Lan Xinyu, and said in a deep voice, "You two have really grown up. You lost once and you're still not convinced, so you dare to find someone to challenge you a second time. If this were outside, Lin Chen would have killed you countless times by now..."
