The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2899: In our area, we'd be separated for half our lives!

When Lin Chen parted ways with the girls, they were all quite powerful, having all entered the Great Luo Immortal Realm. Even Nangong Wushuang and Chu Jiaxue had reached the Upper Grade Realm, making them even stronger than him.

Over the past few decades, I've been constantly on the move, and I didn't have many cultivation resources at my disposal. My talent is also limited. If it weren't for the significant gains I made in the Bitter Sea Immortal Realm, which allowed me to advance once during my journey, I'd probably still be stuck in the same place.

Perhaps none of the women around Lin Chen could match his opportunities, but their talents were also beyond his reach.

Lu Yao replied, "Nalan Wushuang has already reached the middle-grade Great Luo Immortal level, while Yao Xuanji, Shang Wenyan, and Gu Yuexi are all at the lower-grade level..."

Lin Chen's eyes widened in surprise as he stared at the women: "Are you all this powerful? Please protect me!"

Yao Xuanji laughed and said, "Now that you have gathered the five elements and mastered the Five Elements Great Escape technique, even though you are a realm lower than us, I think that apart from Sister Wushuang who might be able to defeat you, we may not be your match."

Gu Yuexi smiled and chimed in, "I just broke through a barrier a few days ago, so I'm definitely no match for you, brother!"

Lin Chen chuckled: "You guys, are you worried about hurting my pride? I'd love for you all to be stronger, preferably all of you Quasi-Saints with extraordinary strength!"

Lu Yao laughed and said, "They are all the pride of heaven, and their strength has increased rapidly. I used to be able to act as their babysitter, but now, I don't need to anymore!"

Lin Chen joked, "Then you can slack off just like that."

Lu Yao stood up, dusted off her clothes, and said with a smile, "This is none of my business. I'm going back to rest!"

Lan Xinyu stood up and took Yao Xiong's arm, saying, "We'll be going now. You two chat for a bit. Haoran Sect will be hosting a banquet tonight to welcome you, so be careful not to get drunk."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "After all, I'm the sect leader. If I don't drink, I don't think anyone will dare to disrespect me and force me to drink."

Everyone burst into laughter.

If it were before, everyone might have been worried about Lin Chen, but after Lin Chen revealed his trump card, everyone no longer felt any pressure.

If any of these people are blind and think that Lin Chen is young and easy to bully, and try to use some tricks, they are destined to run into a brick wall and only hurt themselves.

Shang Wenyan took the initiative to invite Zhen Liuxue and Ning Xiayi to his residence for tea, and also invited Mi Xiaowan to accompany them.

Although she and Lin Chen were close friends, they ultimately didn't cross that line. Under these circumstances, she chose to back down and leave space for Gu Yuexi and the others.

Lin Chen and his companions naturally wouldn't share their longing in the hall. They left and headed towards Lin Chen's residence, which was the largest pavilion in the manor. After walking a few steps, Lin Chen suddenly remembered the array genius Yue Chengtian: "Where's Chengtian? I haven't seen him."

Gu Yuexi didn't shy away from linking arms with Lin Chen. Since Yao Xuanji and Nalan Wushuang were too embarrassed to do so in broad daylight, she wouldn't hold back.

"He didn't come to the Haoran Sect; he stayed at the War God's Mansion."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Requisitioned?"

Gu Yuexi replied, "He came here before hoping to use his array skills to earn merit and prove himself. If he comes back to Haoran Sect with us, he won't have much use for his skills. But if he stays in the War God Mansion, he can play a huge role."

"The War God's Mansion tested his array formation skills and greatly appreciated and valued him. Over the years, he has written us several letters, mainly because he has been busy with the research and development of various array formations. He is quite busy, but he is doing well."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Talented people are valued wherever they go, which is great!"

After everyone returned to Lin Chen's residence, Nalan Wushuang explained, "This manor was deliberately built after we arrived, so that it would be convenient for us to stay together. Moreover, it's quite secluded here, which is also suitable for quiet cultivation..."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "The arrangements are quite good."

Once inside the house, with no outsiders around, everyone spoke much more freely.

Lin Chen didn't stand on ceremony and hugged each of them, saying some heartfelt words. His actions weren't excessive, but all three women's faces were flushed, and their eyes were filled with affection.

After all, they hadn't seen each other for decades. Now that the couple had reunited, it would be strange if they weren't a little emotionally moved by their embrace.

Nalan Wushuang and Yao Xuanji, being shy, made an excuse to get up and run away, leaving Lin Chen with Gu Yuexi.

Lin Chen hugged Gu Yuexi, who was clinging to him like a koala, and laughed, "They're all very accommodating to you."

Gu Yuexi laughed and said, "I'm young, and I've been with you for a long time. Plus, they're shy and always give in to me. But I'm smart enough not to hold onto you like that."

Gu Yuexi wrapped her arms around Lin Chen's neck, tilted her head up and kissed him, her eyes gazing at him with watery eyes: "Brother, if this were in our world, we would have been separated for almost half a lifetime. Have you missed me?"
