The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2557 Consider this my way of making up for it!
Lin Chen naturally had some ideas, such as secretly stealing some, since no one would know exactly how much there was before handing it over, or switching the bottles to make a fake one, and then trying to escape once he left the secret realm.

There are many methods, but they all involve risks. After all, he is just one person, while his opponents are eleven. If this is exposed, they will surely kill him.

Now that I've obtained all the Heavenly Secret Divine Water so safely, without any risk or having to reveal my identity, this is definitely the best thing ever.

What's more, he doesn't have to owe anyone favors, nor does he have to get involved in their civil war anymore, isn't that great?

"What's your current situation? Do you have a chance of winning?"

Shangguan Wenyin frowned, his face grave: "It's alright, but not too good. After so many years of his purges, there are some powerful people willing to help Senior Fan, but not many. Otherwise, we wouldn't have needed to come here to subdue the Wei and Yuwen families."

Lin Chen nodded. This situation was not unexpected. He had been the leader for so many years. No matter how much he didn't manage things, those who could rise to power must have his approval and be under his control. How many of them would be willing to risk their lives to rebel?
"what's next?"

Shangguan Wenyin said in a deep voice, "There are still some forces. Even if the probability of success is not very high, we have no choice but to try after all the forces are integrated. After all, the longer this matter is delayed, the easier it will be to be exposed."

“These people work together in a very complex way. If something goes wrong in any link, the whole thing will fall apart. So we have to act before they realize what’s going on.”

Lin Chen nodded and advised, "Although you are a Holy Son and your strength is quite formidable, you should stay away from battles between top-tier experts. Winning is certainly good, but if you lose, run fast. Only by staying alive can you have a chance."

A look of emotion flashed in Shangguan Wenyin's eyes, and he reached out to pat Lin Chen's arm: "Okay, if it really doesn't work, I'll definitely learn from you and run as fast as I can!"

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "Alright, once Senior Fan regains power and you become your Holy Son again, I will definitely visit you at your headquarters in a very open and generous manner... It's very unpleasant to be treated like an enemy every time I come here."

Shangguan Wenyin smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words... When are you leaving?"

Lin Chen took out the Seven Wonders Hall and the token and placed them in Shangguan Wenyin's hand: "Leave after you leave the secret realm. I have everything I wanted, so there is no need to contact them again."

Knowing that Lin Chen didn't want to reveal his identity, Shangguan Wenyin didn't press the matter further: "Alright, speaking of which, this time the fighting wasn't so fierce, and you managed to gain their surrender so easily. You've been a great help..."

Lin Chen shook his finger dismissively: "Cooperation is about mutual benefit, it's hardly a favor."

Shangguan Wenyin didn't stand on ceremony: "Alright, I won't stand on ceremony with you. Once things are settled, I'll send someone to deliver a message to you."

"Row!"

Just as the two were about to return, Shangguan Wenyin suddenly stopped, took out a spatial ring, and tossed it to Lin Chen. "I almost forgot, this is for you..."

Lin Chen took it, scanned it with his divine sense, and his eyes widened immediately.

"Pearls? So many, where did they come from?"

Shangguan Wenyin smiled and said, "Senior Fan gave it to me. He lived inside the giant turtle for a long time. The giant turtle needs to eat and has eaten a lot of sea clams. Over the years, he has collected many clam pearls."

"Because of the change in plans, I pulled you away from the Kuta Sea ahead of time, which caused your plans to cultivate and collect pearls to fall through. Consider these pearls as compensation."

Lin Chen suddenly realized and laughed, "This gift is quite substantial."

Shangguan Wenyin smiled and said, "Although the pearl is good, it is not effective indefinitely. The more you take it, the less effective it will be. Based on your current strength, I estimate that these pearls should be able to help you break through to the middle grade, which is the Carp Dragon Realm. However, due to the decline in efficacy, they may not be able to help you break through to the Carp Dragon Realm."

Lin Chen chuckled, showing no disappointment whatsoever: "The Immortal Realm is full of opportunities. Who can become a top-grade Great Luo Immortal by relying on just one opportunity or a rare treasure? As I always say, take it slow. As long as you're alive, you'll have a chance."

These are Lin Chen's honest thoughts. There are plenty of good things that can help improve one's cultivation level. If this one doesn't work, just find another. Take it slow.

Despite having only ordinary talent for cultivation, I still managed to advance to the Great Luo Immortal realm.

Looking into Lin Chen's clear and carefree eyes, Shangguan Wenyin smiled and said, "Indeed, as long as you're alive, you have a chance. I was overthinking it."

Half a day later, everyone set off and left. After leaving the secret realm, Lin Chen parted ways with the others.

Fan Tianxing hadn't said much to Lin Chen. Watching Lin Chen's departing figure, he said calmly, "That kid's got some skill, some guts, and some luck too..."

Shangguan Wenyin laughed and said, "Yes, it's a pity he is Fuyunzi's disciple. Otherwise, I would definitely find a way to bring him into the Sea God Sect. I have a feeling that he will achieve great things in the future."

Fan Tianxing turned to look at Shangguan Wenyin: "Taller than you?"

Shangguan Wenyin was silent for a few seconds, then his eyes were certain: "If he hadn't died, his achievements would definitely have surpassed mine."
