The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2838 Ha, how realistic!
"Although the Carp Dragon Realm is a mid-grade realm of the Great Luo Immortal, it is extremely special. It is very difficult to cross this realm. It usually requires one's own enlightenment plus a special opportunity. It cannot be rushed."

Lin Chen naturally knew about this, and shrugged: "Yeah, I'll just muddle along. Anyway, I'm used to the situation you just described."

Lin Chen smiled and waved to Zhen Liuxue: "Keep it up, senior. I'll be waiting for your good news."

The next morning, Wanyan Jie came to the door.

Lin Chen still had no intention of meeting him. Regardless of whether the other party had any intention of pursuing him, he was the one receiving Gong Jianying from Taixu Mountain, not himself.

In their eyes, I am probably just an insignificant appendage, so why would they care about me?

Even if he mentions himself politely, it's only to save face for Gong Jianying, not because he truly values ​​him.

I don't need this kind of politeness, so there's no need to try to become familiar with everyone and make everyone say insincere polite things, which makes everyone uncomfortable.

Which man, when pursuing a woman, would be attracted to the man she's with?

If we both find each other unbearable to look at, it's better not to meet at all.

Gong Jianying left with a reluctant expression after being seen off by Lin Chen's smiling gaze. Lin Chen didn't go out either, but lay down on a recliner under the pavilion in the courtyard, closed his eyes, and leisurely meditated.

"Is Fellow Daoist Gong here? I am Chen Hong from the Nine Thunder Sect. I request an audience."

Suddenly, a crisp sound interrupted Lin Chen's meditation, and he sat up from the recliner.

A visit to Gong Jianying?

Lin Chen hesitated for a moment. He had clearly heard it, and it would be inappropriate to ignore it.

Lin Chen walked to the door, opened it, and saw a handsome young man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes standing there with a smile on his face. However, when he saw Lin Chen, the smile on his face froze for a moment.

"Fellow Daoist, are you a disciple of Mount Taixu?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I am not a disciple of Taixu Mountain, but merely a friend of Fairy Gong. Are you looking for Fairy Gong?"

The young man cupped his hands and said, "Chen Hong of the Nine Thunder Sect, please help me convey my message."

Lin Chen shrugged and laughed, "Fellow Daoist Chen, your timing is not good. Wanyan Jie of Xuan Kong Sect invited Fairy Gong out for a trip early this morning."

Chen Hong's expression changed slightly: "Wanyan Jie?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes." Chen Hong's expression was slightly unpleasant: "Did Fairy Gong say when she would return?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "He didn't say. I'll go with the flow. I might stay a little longer."

Chen Hong frowned, hesitated for two seconds, and then looked at Lin Chen: "Are you friends with Fairy Gong?"

Seeing Chen Hong's slightly suspicious and scrutinizing gaze, Lin Chen knew what he was thinking and smiled, "Just ordinary friends, happened to be traveling together."

After a pause, seeing Chen Hong's still unconvinced expression, she added, "I'm married."

Chen Hong's face instantly turned slightly awkward, but his expression immediately relaxed, and he chuckled, "What you say, fellow Daoist? Haha, are you busy right now? It's almost noon. If you're not, how about we have a drink together?"

Lin Chen quickly declined, but inwardly he was speechless.

Judging from Chen Hong's behavior, he and Gong Jianying probably don't know each other or aren't very familiar with each other.
Why is he so eager to see her? Is he another suitor?
Or perhaps, it was simply because Gong Jianying was the most beloved disciple of Master Taixu?

Chen Hong left somewhat awkwardly, and Lin Chen returned to the pavilion. However, he was not at peace because several more groups of visitors arrived, all of whom were visiting Gong Jianying. Some introduced themselves, while others used the name of their elders to invite him to dinner, which broadened Lin Chen's horizons.

Is this how disciples of Mount Taixu are treated?

These people may not all be suitors of Gong Jianying, and their visits may not all be for the purpose of pursuing Gong Jianying, but they are all suspected of trying to establish a relationship with her.

Hey, how realistic!

In the afternoon, the tightly closed door suddenly opened, and Gong Jianying appeared in the doorway, followed by a tall and handsome man with a bright, sunny smile.

Wanyan Jie?
Gong Jianying immediately spotted Lin Chen sleeping on the recliner in the pavilion. Her eyes widened instantly, and she subconsciously ground her teeth.

While I was feeling incredibly awkward socializing outside, this guy was lounging comfortably at home!
It’s so infuriating!

Although Gong Jianying knew that this matter had nothing to do with Lin Chen, she couldn't help but feel angry when she saw Lin Chen's relaxed and comfortable attitude!

"Brother Wanyan, thank you for spending time with me today. Uncle's birthday banquet is approaching, and I'm sure you're very busy. Please go ahead and do your work. You don't need to stay with me; I'll take care of myself."

Wanyan Jie laughed heartily, "My father instructed me that nothing else matters to me. My only task is to take good care of my junior sister, so please don't chase me away. Otherwise, my father will say I haven't been hospitable enough and break my legs..."
