The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2545 Reunion with Wei Deyuan: Was He Discovered?
"I?"

Lin Chen's eyes widened in surprise as he asked, "Accompanying the patriarch to the Yuwen family?"

Qin Cheng nodded: "Yes, it just so happens that you wanted the Hidden Divine Jade Stem before. You go with the patriarch, do a good job for the patriarch, and don't embarrass him. The patriarch will definitely grant your wish."

Lin Chen hesitated and said, "It sounds like the matter is very important. Would it be inappropriate to send me? After all, I've only been here for three months, and there are quite a few powerful high-level alchemists here."

Lin Chen was genuinely surprised. He had thought that if he waited quietly, he could easily obtain the Hidden Divine Jade Stem, but he never expected that Qin Cheng would recommend him.

Qin Cheng laughed and said, "We alchemists rely on real skills, not age. Whoever is stronger will naturally go. Although many of the pills you refine can also be refined by others, under the same conditions, your pills have a higher success rate and higher quality, so I feel at ease letting you go."

Qin Cheng paused, then smiled and advised, "This is also an opportunity for you to showcase yourself. As long as you handle this matter well, the head of the family will definitely value you more, and your position in the Wei family will be secure in the future."

Now that things had come to this point, Lin Chen couldn't refuse even if he wanted to.

You won't even do your part, yet you want me to help you get the Hidden Divine White Jade Stem?

"Alright, since Manager Qin trusts me so much, I will do my best and give it a try."

Qin Cheng laughed and said, "Don't be nervous. Even if you're going to refine pills, just do it the same way you usually do."

"Yes!"

Lin Chen cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you for your guidance, Manager Qin!"

Qin Cheng instructed, "Don't refine pills today. Get some rest and recharge your energy. We'll set off with the patriarch tomorrow morning."

"Yes!"

Qin Cheng left satisfied, and Lin Chen sat down in the chair again and closed his eyes.

What is Wei Mingxuan planning to do by taking the alchemist to the Yuwen family?

Competition?

The Wei and Yuwen families are so close they're practically inseparable; they probably wouldn't stoop to any kind of competition.

I'll go and take a look myself, just to gather information for Shangguan Wenyin.

The next day, Lin Chen was led by a maid to a wide open space behind the manor, where an extremely luxurious giant ship was moored. Many people had gathered there, busy making preparations for their departure.

When Wei Mingxuan saw Lin Chen, he waved to him, signaling him to come over.

Lin Chen approached Wei Mingxuan and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Patriarch."

Wei Mingxuan stared at Lin Chen with admiration: "Old Qin told me about how you've been working tirelessly on alchemy these past few months. You don't need to be so diligent. You should set aside some time for your own things, or perhaps cultivation..." Lin Chen grinned: "When I have nothing to do, I'll just practice alchemy more. It's a way to hone my skills."

Wei Mingxuan nodded in satisfaction: "You'll come with me this time, and I'll help you get the medicine you need. If I forget, just remind me. Don't be shy; since you're working for the Wei family, I certainly won't treat you unfairly."

Lin Chen happily expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Master."

If Lin Chen hadn't come with ulterior motives and a completely different stance, Wei Mingxuan's efforts to win over Lin Chen would have been truly appreciated. He was given ample treatment and respect; what employee wouldn't like such a boss?

"Let's get on the ship first; the journey will take several more days."

"Yes!"

Once Lin Chen arrived on the ship, he was assigned a spacious single room, clearly indicating that he was being treated well.

Lin Chen stood at the window and looked ahead when he suddenly saw several figures flying over. The leader was none other than Vice Sect Leader Wei Deyuan!
Lin Chen was taken aback and subconsciously looked away.

Why is he here?
Following Wei Deyuan were several young men, all of whom were among the most outstanding members of the younger generation of the Wei family.

Wei Deyuan quickly landed on the giant ship and exchanged pleasantries with Wei Mingxuan.

Is Wei Deyuan also going to come along?

Lin Chen suddenly felt a little nervous. Would Wei Deyuan recognize him?
He walked to the mirror in the room, looked at himself in the mirror, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although there are some faint similarities between their eyebrows, they look completely different overall.

Wei Deyuan might feel a little familiar with himself, but with the Sea God Sect's backing, and the endorsement of Sang Daoqing and Wei Mingxuan, Wei Deyuan probably wouldn't think much of it.

Who would have thought that Fu Yunzi's true disciple would run off to the Sea God Sect to become a retainer of the Wei family?
If this were told to others, probably no one would believe it.

As the giant ship took off, Wei Deyuan and Wei Mingxuan, who had been standing on the deck, also entered the cabin, and Lin Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Well, he was just a retainer after all. Surely Wei Mingxuan wouldn't bother to specifically introduce him to Wei Deyuan?
After a ten-day journey, the giant ship arrived at the Yuwen family's enormous manor.

Yuwen Difei, the head of the Yuwen family, led a group of people to greet them. While they were exchanging pleasantries with Wei Mingxuan and Wei Deyuan, Lin Chen was also invited out of his room and mingled with the group as he disembarked.

At this moment, Wei Deyuan was facing the giant ship. He was talking as he glanced at the crowd disembarking, and then his gaze fell on Lin Chen, where he paused noticeably.

Lin Chen felt Wei Deyuan's gaze linger on him, and his heart skipped a beat...
