The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2850 Sorry, this is really not for sale!
Dai Yunshen spoke of compensation, but his tone was gentle, and he even had a smile on his face, clearly indicating that he did not truly hate Lin Chen.

Lin Chen smiled and asked, "Does Senior have any suggestions?"

Lin Chen had watched Su Hao and Dai Yunshen's matches and their arguments. He felt that although they were competitors, they were kindred spirits who appreciated each other's talents.

Although the two of them were verbally abusing each other without holding back, using every taunt imaginable, neither of them actually turned hostile. Instead, they seemed to be exchanging barbs like old friends, so Lin Chen wasn't worried at all.

Dai Yunshen looked at Lin Chen, who was smiling, and laughed, "You've got some nerve. Aren't you afraid I'll hold a grudge against you and cause you trouble?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Senior is a grandmaster. You have long understood the ups and downs of winning and losing. Why would you really take it to heart, let alone make things difficult for a junior like me? I was just joking."

Dai Yunshen laughed: "You see things clearly. Actually, I'm still a little unhappy about losing to this old guy, but considering that he only borrowed the strange fire and didn't really get it himself, I feel it doesn't matter. Let him have his fun this time, and I'll take him down next time!"

Dai Yunshen changed the subject: "Of course I won't cause trouble for a junior like you. If you're willing to lend it to me, that's your business. But I lost this match and want to see that strange fire so I can understand why I lost. Is that alright?"

It turns out he wanted to admire the phoenix fire; this was purely driven by a desire to see something he wasn't looking for, a common trait among weapon refiners.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Of course, no problem."

Dai Yunshen stretched out his hand and beckoned to Su Hao: "Give it to me!"

Su Hao pursed his lips, but there was nothing he could do. They had already followed him all the way here, and Lin Chen, as the host, had agreed, so he couldn't refuse.

Su Hao handed the porcelain bottle containing the phoenix fire to Dai Yunshen and sneered, "See? Don't let your eyes get caught in it."

Dai Yunshen didn't bother arguing with Su Hao. He excitedly opened the porcelain bottle and released the phoenix fire inside. After a careful examination, his expression immediately changed.

"This fire already possesses sentience?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes."

Su Hao, standing to the side, sarcastically remarked, "Never seen anything like it before, have you? Eyes opened now, haven't you?"

Dai Yunshen sneered: "You talk as if you've actually seen it."

Su Hao was speechless for a moment, then awkwardly touched his nose and fell silent.

Dai Yunshen carefully examined the Phoenix Fire's various ability indices, and finally sighed, "Amazing, amazing! This is far more powerful than my Purple Heart Lotus Fire. It's incredible that such a wondrous fire exists in the world, and that it even possesses sentience! It's truly remarkable!"

Dai Yunshen sighed, then couldn't help but ask curiously, "Young man, where did you get this strange fire?"

Lin Chen replied, "A deserted world, obtained by chance, I was lucky."

Dai Yunshen's eyes were full of liking and affection. After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Lin Chen with hopeful eyes: "Young man, I know that you didn't get this rare fire easily and you are probably unwilling to sell it. However, I still want to ask if you are willing to part with it. As long as you are willing, you can name any price you want, as high as you want. I will definitely do my best to satisfy you!"

Su Hao frowned, but instead of scolding Dai Yunshen, his gaze also fell on Lin Chen's face. This was the question he had originally intended to ask, so he was also eager for an answer.

They are all people of status and position, and they would not do anything so despicable as to plunder. Moreover, Lin Chen is not an ordinary person either. He has the Taixu Zhenren behind him. Who would dare to steal his things?

The previous transaction is a transaction, but that doesn't stop us from talking again. As long as Lin Chen is really willing to make a move, they are willing to offer all kinds of exorbitant prices to buy him.

As for Dai Yunshen, we can just bid against him.

They're already here, how can we chase them away?
Lin Chen looked at the two people staring at him with burning eyes, smiled slightly, and politely declined, saying, "I'm sorry, this Phoenix Fire Spirit chose to leave with me back then. We have no master or servant relationship. Instead, we are like friends. He is willing to follow me, so how could I treat him like merchandise to be sold off?"

"I know the importance of a good rare fire for weapon crafting, but I really can't part with it. Besides, I'm currently learning weapon crafting and might become a weapon crafter in the future. It's also very useful to me. So, I'm sorry, both of you."

Dai Yunshen was very disappointed, but still asked somewhat unwillingly, "Are you really not going to consider it? You know we are all master craftsmen, and we cherish rare fires in every way, especially spiritual fires. We treat them like our own juniors and will never mistreat them."

“You are friends with him. You can visit him anytime you want to see him and see if I have treated him well enough. If I haven’t, you can take him away without my permission.”

"As for you, I can ask for any price, even astronomical amounts of cultivation resources, enough to forcefully elevate you to the peak of the Great Luo Immortal realm. Are you really not going to consider it?"

Lin Chen shook his head without hesitation: "Senior, I'm sorry, this is really not negotiable."

Looking at Lin Chen's resolute eyes, Dai Yunshen sighed, glanced at the Phoenix Fire with reluctance, put it into a porcelain bottle, and handed the bottle to Lin Chen.

"A gentleman does not take what others cherish. Since you are unwilling to help, I will not force you. Take good care of it; it can still grow in the future, perhaps reaching an unimaginable level..."

Lin Chen took the porcelain bottle and smiled, "That's for sure."

Seeing this, Su Hao, though regretful, didn't say much. He smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I'll keep my promise and teach you the Prosperous Weapon Forging Method. I can even spend some time giving you some pointers..."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up: "Thank you, senior."

Dai Yunshen turned his head in surprise: "The Prosperous Weapon Refining Method, isn't that in the Hundred Refinements Manual? You're passing it on to him?"

Su Hao retorted, "None of your business."

Just as Dai Yunshen was about to retort, a clear bell rang out from the sky.

"clang!"

The sound of the bell made everyone's ears ring, and their expressions changed. Before they could react, the blue light instantly enveloped the entire valley, and countless blue mists instantly covered the sky.

The whole world suddenly turned gray and fell silent!
