The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2894 Rewards from the War God's Palace
The Crimson Immortal Realm is the primary battlefield between the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm, and it's quite normal that all cultivators are subject to military-style control.

Why would Mu Tianjun want to appoint himself as the sect leader of the Haoran Sect?

These high-ranking members of the Haoran Sect seem to be quite powerful. They must all be at least Great Luo Immortal level. How could they accept being made sect leader by a young Great Luo Immortal?
Perhaps someone else was originally eyeing the position of sect leader, but now that I've suddenly appeared out of nowhere, do you think they'd be happy about it?
Lin Chen thought of many things in an instant. The middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment before speaking, "To be honest, we were quite puzzled when the War God Palace appointed you as the sect leader. After all, as far as we know, you are still young and your strength is said to have not yet reached the Great Luo Immortal level. So we secretly inquired about it."

The middle-aged woman was right, so Lin Chen naturally wasn't angry. After all, he himself felt that the matter was a bit outrageous.

"Have you found out the reason?"

The middle-aged beauty nodded, her eyes fixed intently on Lin Chen: "Sect Master, seven years ago, didn't you encounter the demon invasion in the Bitter Sea Immortal Realm?"

Lin Chen was slightly taken aback, then nodded: "Yes."

The middle-aged beauty's eyes lit up: "Sect Master, can you tell us what happened? We haven't found out the details, but we heard that your appointment as the Sect Master of the Haoran Sect is related to this matter. You must have made a great contribution, so your appointment as the Sect Master of the Haoran Sect is a reward from the War God's Mansion..."

great merit?

award?

Lin Chen finally understood how he had inexplicably obtained the position of sect leader.

Since the War God's Mansion has already issued the appointment, and Lin Chen has come to rely on Mu Tianjun, he does indeed need an identity, so he should accept it calmly.

Lin Chen didn't hold back and recounted his visit to Master Taixu, his journey with Gong Jianying, and his three encounters with the demon race.

Gu Yuexi looked at him with unwavering admiration: "Brother Chen, you're amazing! You even killed a quasi-saint from the Demon Clan?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I didn't kill them. I wouldn't dare to take credit for that."

After listening to Lin Chen's explanation, the group from the Haoran Sect had various expressions: some suddenly understood, some looked doubtful, some looked admiring, and some remained silent.

Looking at the gazes of this group, Lin Chen knew that although they outwardly gave him face, calling him Sect Master and showing him all the proper etiquette, many of them were probably still resentful. Lin Chen didn't rush to express his opinion. His first step was to understand everything, then prepare to meet with Mu Tianjun before deciding what to do next.

If the sect leader absolutely has to do it himself, then he can come back to reorganize the sect later.

Although Lin Chen's strength might not be as great as these people, he had two quasi-saints and hundreds of great demons by his side, so it would be easy for him to suppress them. However, he was in no hurry to reveal these things.

When others have incorrect expectations of you, your true thoughts are more likely to be revealed. But if you appear strong enough, you may only see a series of hypocritical faces.

Lin Chen nodded: "Alright, thank you for your explanation. I'll put my position as sect leader aside for now. I'll go see Mu Tianjun later, and we'll discuss what to do next."

The middle-aged beauty nodded: "Sect Master, I am Chi Ya, the head of the Law Enforcement Hall. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me."

Head of the Enforcement Hall?
If the entire Haoran Sect were an army, wouldn't she be equivalent to a military judge?
Seeing how proactively she reported and explained to him, and even took the initiative to be friendly, it seemed that she approved of the War God's Mansion's appointment. Regardless of who he was or what his strength was, she was prepared to treat him as the sect leader.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Okay, Hall Master Chi, thank you for your trouble."

Chi Ya introduced herself, and the others, regardless of their expressions or thoughts, also introduced themselves. The important figures were probably Vice Sect Master Chen Shuihe, Weapon Forging Hall Master Xiong Yaxiong, Alchemy Hall Master Hu Yunlai, and Medicine Hall Master Shi Ju, while the others were their deputies.

As Lin Chen listened to everyone's introductions, he secretly sighed in his heart, "This is indeed a proper military setup."

The sect leader oversees all affairs, with subordinates responsible for various tasks such as magical artifacts, elixirs, wounded soldiers, and laws. When they actually go to the battlefield, each person performs their duties and cooperates seamlessly, which greatly enhances their combat strength.

Lin Chen paid particular attention to Vice Sect Master Chen Shuihe. According to the introduction, he was the Vice Sect Master when the former Sect Master was still alive. Now that the former Sect Master is in trouble, in principle, whether it is strength or seniority, he, the Vice Sect Master, should take over the position of Sect Master. However, he was parachuted in, interrupting Chen Shuihe's path to promotion.

If he were a seasoned veteran with extensive experience and strong capabilities, he might be unhappy, but he wouldn't dare to disobey. However, he is just a young man who seems to be lucky but not very capable. Would he be convinced?
