The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2606 How does it feel to be a dog for your enemy?
"Lord Qiu, it was the Cave Master who contacted you. I'm just here to deliver the message. Don't keep staring at me. Go find the Cave Master yourself."

Lin Chen spread his hands, looking completely innocent: "If I didn't have a powerful identity, would I even be able to see you? I was forced into this situation."

Qiu Wushuang gritted her teeth and said, "You impersonated the Demon Dragon City Lord's secret envoy in order to see me. Were you forced to say those things and act that way towards me later?"

Lin Chen shrugged: "You've already said you're going to kill me, can't you let me say a few words?"

Qiu Wushuang was momentarily speechless and unable to refute.

Yeah, I told him I was going to kill him in the right place, and then he started flirting with me. Well, this guy is just taking advantage of the fact that I'm a clone and I'm not afraid of death, so he's so unscrupulous.

As long as the true body doesn't die, this anger will never be appeased!
Master Zhen spoke calmly: "You say I haven't changed after all these years, but aren't you the same? You're competitive and unwilling to suffer any loss. You're about to kill someone, and you won't even let them curse you?"

Qiu Wushuang sneered, "That was just his clone; his real body isn't dead yet!"

Master Zhen coldly said, "Can't let go? Do you want me to capture you, then put a set of soul shackles on you, making you his maid, serving him tea and water, making his bed and folding his blankets every day?"

Qiu Wushuang glared at Master Zhen: "If you dare to do this, I'll take you down with me!"

Master Zhen sneered: "You'd need the strength to fight to the death. Do you think it's still the same as before? Killing you now would be as easy as turning my hand!"

Qiu Wushuang's expression changed slightly, her eyes fixed on Master Zhen: "You've reached the Quasi-Saint level?"

Master Zhen sneered, "If I were as useless as you, how could I avenge my master?"

Qiu Wushuang's expression was one of surprise and uncertainty as she looked Zhen Dongzhu up and down, slowly shaking her head: "No, you are not a Quasi-Saint. If you were a Quasi-Saint, you could have easily suppressed me just now. Even if I wanted to kill that kid, I couldn't have done it..."

Master Zhen didn't explain, but said calmly, "If you're not convinced, you can try."

Qiu Wushuang sneered: "Even if I'm not as good as you, how can you compare to that person from the Myriad Immortals Palace? You want to kill him? I think you've lost your mind!"

Master Zhen stared at Qiu Wushuang and said coldly, "Whether I can kill him in the end or not, at least I'm trying. As for you, how does it feel to be a dog for your mother's killer?"

Qiu Wushuang, who had been completely indifferent, suddenly changed her expression upon hearing the last sentence and screamed, "What did you say?"

The mockery in Master Zhen's eyes deepened, and his voice was filled with ridicule: "Don't you know that your mother, my master, died at his hands?" Qiu Wushuang's face turned deathly pale, and she screamed: "You're talking nonsense! That's impossible!"

Master Zhen looked at Qiu Wushuang calmly, without refuting or explaining, but this silent calm only made Qiu Wushuang's expression more and more terrified.

"You must be lying to me, right? When my mother passed away, I was by her side, watching her leave. She passed the position of city lord to me and told me to be loyal to the Hall of Ten Thousand Immortals and to the Hall Master..."

Master Zhen sneered: "My master is incredibly powerful, arguably the strongest below the Quasi-Saint level. She was perfectly fine, but upon returning from her trip, she was severely injured and near death. When we pressed her for the identity of the culprit, she only said it was a Quasi-Saint from another Immortal Realm, whose name and origin we didn't know... Do you believe such a reason?"

Qiu Wushuang gritted her teeth and said, "If she weren't a Quasi-Saint, who could hurt her?"

Master Zhen did not answer, but instead asked, "Do you know how long it took him to break through to the Quasi-Saint Realm?"

Qiu Wushuang naturally knew who he was referring to: "It's been too long, I don't remember very clearly, but I vaguely remember it was not long after my mother passed away..."

Qiu Wushuang's eyes widened suddenly, her expression one of disbelief: "You mean, his breakthrough is related to his mother's death?"

Master Zhen asked again, "Then do you know what kind of cultivation technique he practices?"

This time, Qiu Wushuang answered without hesitation, "The Heartless Technique!"

Master Zhen coldly said, "The Heartless Technique lives up to its name. To achieve the supreme Dao, one must be heartless. Simply put, one must completely sever one's desires. Do you know the connection between him and his master?"

Qiu Wushuang's face turned ashen. Although what Master Zhen said and the questions he asked seemed unrelated to her mother's death, a faint clue had emerged as the questions were asked.

Qiu Wushuang's voice softened: "I heard that the two of them were old acquaintances. I asked my mother, but she didn't go into details, only saying that they knew each other before..."

"know?"

Master Zhen laughed, but his laughter was utterly chilling: "It's more than just knowing him. He used to be deeply in love with Master, but although Master appreciated his talent, he didn't like him and never accepted him in the end. Later, he met Master's husband, and the two fell in love. Naturally, the past was buried in his heart. He wouldn't tell anyone else, much less you..."

Qiu Wushuang seemed completely lost, murmuring softly, "The Heartless Technique, my beloved..."
