The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2758 Risking Everything, Gambling on Fate

A dazzling diamond necklace was placed around Guan Xia's neck.

Guan Xia looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes sparkling with joy: "Beautiful, young master, this must be very valuable, right?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Where we're from, it's probably worth a house. Actually, it's just some stones, nothing special. It's just pretty, but the price has been inflated."

"Compared to the Immortal Realm, it's probably not even worth two spirit stones, so it's worthless. Just consider it a souvenir."

Guan Xia reached out and gently stroked the necklace: "Thank you, young master, I like it very much."

"nice! You love it."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Thank you for your help these past few days."

Guan Xia pursed her lips and lowered her head: "If you need a maid in the future and don't mind my appearance, you can come to me. I will definitely serve you well."

Lin Chen readily agreed: "Okay, if I need a maid to take care of me, I will definitely come to you."

After a pause, Lin Chen stood up and said with a smile, "It's getting late, you should get some rest."

Guan Xia watched Lin Chen's retreating figure, her fists clenching slightly. She hesitated, wanting to say something but then stopped. The bright light in her eyes gradually dimmed, finally turning into a silent sigh.

The next day, those who had no intention of staying were sent away, and the remaining people began to sign contracts one by one.

The contract is a blood oath. Although Lin Chen used a fake name, it does not prevent the signing of the blood oath, because the contract binds you to your bloodline and to you as a person. Whether you are called Zhang San or Li Si does not matter.

After carefully reviewing the contents of the contract, Lin Chen signed it with Juxian Island.

Lin Chen roughly estimated that at least four hundred people remained at this gathering of immortals.

Once everyone had completed their contracts, someone organized them to leave this paradise-like place and head north.

All the maids stayed behind.

Thousands of maids watched the hundreds of people depart, feeling as if they were seeing their husbands off to war.

Guan Xia stood in an inconspicuous corner, watching Lin Chen join the group from afar, and then watching him leave. Her bright eyes gradually dimmed.

A fragrant breeze wafted by, and Minglan appeared beside Guanxia, ​​looking at the procession in the distance.

"You seem to have fallen for him?"

Guan Xia didn't turn around, and calmly replied, "He is a gentle and kind-hearted gentleman."

Minglan turned her head and chuckled, "I underestimated him before. I didn't expect that someone so young would already be at the Carp Dragon Realm. He is in no way inferior to those proud sons of wealthy families."

"Such strength, yet so cautious and prudent, without the slightest arrogance. Even when ridiculed, he can simply laugh it off. Putting everything else aside, this kind of composure is something that ordinary people can't match." Guan Xia gently nodded: "Indeed."

Minglan crossed her arms and chuckled, "He signed a contract for 50,000 points. If he wants to earn those 50,000 points, he'll have to stay here for at least several hundred years, or even several thousand years. No matter what you're thinking, you'll have plenty of time."

Guan Xia was silent for a few seconds, then said softly, "What I'm thinking is not important at all. Whether it's making friends or anything else, I'd rather use my current self than Ning Xiayi."

Minglan naturally understood the meaning behind Minglan's words, and frowned slightly: "I am also a woman, I can understand you, but such is fate, try to think more positively, some things are better said to me."

A hint of sadness appeared in Guan Xia's eyes: "It doesn't matter. I've really had enough of being a caged canary. Sometimes I think that death might not be so terrible."

Minglan said softly, "As long as you're alive, you'll have a chance. Whether it's a thousand years, ten thousand years, or a hundred thousand years, as long as your heart doesn't die, you'll always have a chance. Besides, you're exceptionally talented. Once you reach your peak, who can stop you then?"

Guan Xia turned her head and looked at the radiant Minglan, saying gratefully, "Sister Minglan, thank you. If it weren't for you taking care of me for so long and tolerating my willfulness, I probably would have been gone long ago."

Minglan's eyes shone brightly: "Then can you tell me why you insisted on coming to the Gathering of Immortals when you could have chosen not to attend, and why you came in this state?"

Guan Xia blinked: "I'm just bored, I wanted to see what these men really are like..."

Minglan snorted coldly: "Fine, don't tell me then, you're trying to fool me."

Guan Xia quickly begged for forgiveness: "Sister, don't be angry, I just had a sudden urge..."

Minglan rolled her eyes at Guanxia: "Even though you've gotten yourself into this state, aren't you afraid that the other party will be inconsiderate and still want you to serve them?"

Guan Xia said softly, "She's not a virgin anymore, so why not? It's not like she's never done it before..."

Minglan reached out and poked Guanxia: "Don't say such discouraging things. How many men have you met? It's not your place to say such things."

"Once, twice, or a hundred times, there's not much difference..."

Guan Xia said something, but looking into Minglan's eyes, she dared not say anything more and finally shut her mouth.

"Keep arguing, I can't be bothered with you!"

After Minglan finished speaking, she left. Guanxia watched Minglan's retreating figure, her eyes filled with a hint of gratitude.

Sister Minglan, it's not that I intentionally wanted to hide it from you, but this really can't be told.

Who can say for sure that fate will come true?

I was just throwing caution to the wind, going all in and taking a gamble...
