The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2546 There's something good here, I'll have to think about it!

Are we being watched?
Will he recognize himself?
Lin Chen was worried, but on the surface he still looked curious, looking around and avoiding Wei Deyuan's gaze.

Wei Deyuan's gaze lingered on Lin Chen for about a second before he looked away.

He did sense a hint of familiarity on Lin Chen's face, but that was all. After all, the current Lin Chen was very different from before, and moreover, Lin Chen's identity and the identity of Wei family retainer were completely unrelated, making it difficult for people to make the connection between the two.

He was merely a retainer of the Wei family; it wasn't enough for him to expend his energy pondering the origin of that sense of familiarity.

Lin Chen caught a glimpse of Wei Deyuan turning his gaze out of the corner of his eye and breathed a sigh of relief.

We've passed the test for now.

I hope to have less contact with him in the future, or better yet, no contact at all.

After Wei Mingxuan and Yuwen Difei finished exchanging pleasantries, everyone was welcomed into the manor, and Lin Chen and the others were also arranged to stay in their respective accommodations.

After resting for half a day, a maid came to visit.

"Mr. Chen, the head of the family requests your presence."

Following the maid, they passed through several courtyards and arrived at a spacious guest house, where they met Wei Mingxuan in the living room.

"I've met the head of the family."

Wei Mingxuan smiled and said, "Chen Fan, sit down. There's a welcome banquet later, you'll have to come with me."

Lin Chen's heart sank. Did that mean he was going to run into Wei Deyuan again?
"Yes!"

Wei Mingxuan pointed to the seat next to him, gesturing for Lin Chen to sit down, and then said, "Let me be clear, there might be some alchemy competitions at the banquet, and you'll have to help me out then."

"Yes, I will do my best and give it my all."

Since he was already there, there was no way he could refuse, so Lin Chen readily agreed.

Wei Mingxuan explained, "You should know that our Wei family and the Yuwen family have a good relationship, but now there is a matter that requires an alchemist to do. Although the two families have a good relationship, everyone wants this matter to be done by one of their own. So, I hope you can win."

After a pause, Wei Mingxuan added, "Although the matter is important, don't put any pressure on yourself. Just perform at your normal level and do your best. Even if you fail, it's not your fault." "Okay!"

Lin Chen readily agreed, then asked cautiously, "This matter involves the Wei family and the Yuwen family, so it must be very important. I'm still quite apprehensive. May I ask what it is?"

Wei Mingxuan pondered for two seconds, then smiled and said, "Since you're curious, I'll tell you in advance. We've discovered a small, undiscovered world, and within it, we found the Heavenly Secret Mystic Divine Water..."

Lin Chen's eyes suddenly lit up: "The Heavenly Secret Divine Water, which is extremely Yin and pure?"

Wei Mingxuan nodded: "Yes, the Heavenly Secret Divine Water we discovered is not a finished product, but rather it is gathered in the water of a lake. To obtain the Heavenly Secret Divine Water, we need a special method to refine and extract it from the entire lake."

"We have prepared the magic weapon to refine the lake, but we still need a highly skilled alchemist to operate the magic weapon to extract the Heavenly Secret Divine Water."

"This little secret realm was discovered jointly by the Wei family and the Yuwen family. Both sides sent their best experts, so it should be divided 50/50. However, there was disagreement about who should send someone to collect it. After discussion, we decided that each side would send one alchemist to compete. Whoever wins will collect it, and the side that collects it will take 60% and the other side will take 40%."

"If you can help the Wei family win the competition and successfully obtain the Heavenly Secret Divine Water, you will have rendered a great service to the Wei family, and I will reward you handsomely afterwards!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen's heart stirred. The Heavenly Secret Divine Water was extremely pure and refined, even better than the essence of water, and could be considered a treasure from the source of the five elements.

I cultivate the Primordial Profound Water Technique, and this Heavenly Secret Profound Divine Water is a valuable item. If I could obtain some, I might be able to use it to help me refine crystals, complementing the Primordial Profound Water Technique.

Stealing the Heavenly Secret Divine Water from under the watchful eyes of numerous experts from the Wei and Yuwen families is no easy task; a slight misstep could cost you your life.

"Understood, I will do my best."

Wei Mingxuan smiled and said, "You may not have as much experience in alchemy as Old Qin, but Old Qin said that you are more steady and skilled than him in terms of technique. That's why he recommended you this time. After all, in the matter of collecting the Myriad Secrets Divine Water, technique is what is needed most."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Manager Qin, you flatter me."

Wei Mingxuan waved his hand: "Don't be modest. I know Old Qin. For him to say that, it means you are really amazing. Besides, even if I don't understand alchemy, I can still tell the success rate and quality of pills. There are few in the Wei family's alchemy garden who can compare to you."

As they were talking, a maid came in and invited them to a banquet.

Wei Mingxuan stood up and laughed, "Come on, come with me to the banquet. I'll also get you the Hidden Divine White Jade Stem you wanted. Haha, don't overthink it. This is completely unrelated to asking you to help."
