The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2774 You wouldn't happen to have taken a liking to Ning Xiayi, would you?
When the five Dao Crystals collided, a wondrous link was formed between each pair of Dao Crystals due to the mutual generation of the five elements.

The Dao Crystals interacted and adjusted their positions, eventually settling down and forming an extremely delicate balance.

Lin Chen opened his eyes, a look of joy in them.

Having spent so much time and effort, he finally gathered all five elemental cultivation techniques, condensed them into the Five Paths Crystals, and connected them together. From then on, the Five Paths Crystals no longer existed independently, but as a whole.

Lin Chen did not rush to leave the Ten Thousand Swords Pool, but continued to sit cross-legged, comprehending the sword marks on the stone tablet.

With each day he comprehended such a sharp sword intent, Lin Chen gained new insights, just like a sword being honed on a whetstone again and again, becoming even sharper with each polishing.

June arrived in the blink of an eye, and Lin Chen had no choice but to end his training and leave the Ten Thousand Swords Pool.

Inside the main hall, Lin Chen saw Cui Wenxuan again.

"Lin Xi, have you mastered the Primordial Myriad Swords Technique?"

Lin Chen cupped his hands and smiled, "Thank you, Island Master, I have already learned it."

Cui Wenxuan asked curiously, "You stayed there for six months, you must have been studying those sword marks down there, right? How long did it take you to cultivate your sword heart?"

Lin Chen replied, "About three months."

Cui Wenxuan nodded: "You came to Juxian Island to learn the Primordial Myriad Swords Technique. Now that you have achieved your goal, are you ready to leave?"

Lin Chen hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is the matter that Fairy Lan requests too short of points?"

Cui Wenxuan chuckled: "What, you want to help Fairy Lan earn points?"

Lin Chen answered frankly, "I'd like to know. Would the island lord be so kind as to tell me?"

Cui Wenxuan nodded and said, "She brought valuable supplies with her, but she's still a little short, only about two thousand points. She's done quite a few missions in the past six months, so she's probably earned a few hundred points..."

Two thousand points, I've earned a few hundred, which means I'm still short over a thousand points?

Blue Rose earned several hundred points in just six months, which is quite fast. If she and another person worked together, it probably wouldn't take long to collect those two thousand points.

Although Lan Qiangwei said that she had only passed the buck once and that Lin Chen didn't need to feel indebted, Lin Chen knew that he had benefited from Lan Qiangwei's influence.

Although Lin Chen had saved Lan Qiangwei's life, and even if he had gained some benefits, it could be considered Lan Qiangwei's way of repaying him. However, if possible, Lin Chen still hoped to help Lan Qiangwei.

Moreover, Lin Chen had another reason to stay: the matter of Zuo Dongxu of the Guixu Sect hadn't been resolved yet. For Shang Wenyan's safety, and for the safety of his own family, he had to deal with the troublesome matter of the Guixu Sect tracking Shang Wenyan's whereabouts. Of course, the most direct solution was to eliminate Zuo Dongxu.

"Thank you for informing me, Island Lord. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

Cui Wenxuan smiled and said, "Okay, if you want to leave, just find the person in charge."

Lin Chen turned and took a few steps, but then suddenly stopped and turned back to ask, "Island Lord, what price must be paid to grant a courtesan of your island her freedom?"

Cui Wenxuan was slightly taken aback, then chuckled, "What, have you taken a fancy to any of the flower girls? Could it be that you've set your sights on Ning Xiayi?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "I don't know Ning Xiayi. I'm talking about an ordinary courtesan named Guan Xia, the one who used to serve me. She's just an ordinary courtesan; in terms of looks, she's not outstanding among the many courtesans..."

Cui Wenxuan smiled and said, "Go and find Minglan about this matter. She's in charge of the flower maids' affairs."

"Okay, thank you, Island Master!"

Lin Chen turned and left, returning to his residence, only to run into Zuo Dongxu and Gumado returning from outside.

"Fellow Daoist Lin!"

When Zuo Dongxu saw Lin Chen, his eyes lit up, and he greeted him warmly, "Where have you been lately? I haven't seen you at all!"

Only Lan Qiangwei and Lin Chen themselves knew about Lin Chen learning the martial arts technique. Cui Wenxuan and the others naturally wouldn't talk about it, since who gained what was a personal matter, and revealing it would often cause trouble for others.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I suddenly had some enlightenment today, so I went into seclusion for a while. Did you all come back from outside?"

Zuo Dongxu laughed and said, "Yes, I teamed up with Gumado on a mission and came back to report."

Lin Chen casually replied, "You guys must have earned a lot of points recently, right?"

Zuo Dongxu shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Points aren't so easy to earn. Previous missions only gave one or two points, but recently there's been a new hunting mission that's somewhat promising..."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up. He was just thinking of helping Lan Qiangwei earn some points, and if he wanted Guan Xia to be free, he would probably need a lot of points. Hearing that there was a promising task, he immediately perked up.

"What kind of mission is it? Tell me about it..."
