The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3439 A Reunion After Tens of Thousands of Years of Waiting

"Wow!"

The withered old man lying on the bed suddenly sat up, his eyes shining with a divine light, almost tangible.

"What did you say?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Senior, I'm here to save you."

Gu Yue stared at Lin Chen: "Where's Qi?"

Lin Chen replied, "This space is called the Void Pearl. It is the magic weapon of the third disciple of the Immortal Emperor, the Burning Sea Immortal Lord. It is used to imprison those who oppose him or other special people. At this moment, the Void Pearl is located inside the Exquisite Tower. Once you leave the Void Pearl, you will be able to see Sister Qi."

Gu Yue asked, "Where is the Immortal Lord of the Burning Sea?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I have already captured him and he is currently inside the Linglong Tower. Sister Qi is outside controlling the situation, so she did not come in with me. I know that you have many doubts in your heart, but why don't you come out with me and see for yourself to find out the truth?"

Gu Yue's face showed barely suppressed excitement, after all, at this point, there seemed to be no possibility of deception left.

Having stayed here for so long, Gu Yue had nothing left to lose.

"Okay, I'll go out with you!"

Without saying a word, Gu Yue sat up directly from the bed. However, his body was very weak, and even such a simple movement was quite strenuous for him.

Gu Yue was once an incredibly powerful Quasi-Saint, a top-tier Quasi-Saint. Now, such a powerful person has weakened to the point where he is not even as good as an ordinary person. This fall from grace is truly lamentable.

Lin Chen stepped forward and bent down: "Senior, let me carry you on my back."

Gu Yue stared at Lin Chen for a moment, then nodded and said, "If you are truly the current master of the Linglong Pagoda, I can accept your burden of carrying me on your back."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Even if we have no relation, you are my senior, so I have no problem carrying you on my back."

Gu Yue climbed onto Lin Chen's body, and Lin Chen carried Gu Yue as he got up and walked outside.

After everyone left the main hall, Lin Chen stopped at the entrance and instructed, "You two continue to guard the main hall. As long as you do your best, everything will be as usual. If you have any disloyal intentions, then I will not allow you to live."

The two guards bowed and accepted the order. After all, it didn't matter who they guarded, their own lives were more important.

Lin Chen led everyone away from the Void Pearl and appeared in front of Qi.

When Qi saw Gu Yue on Lin Chen's back, her eyes lit up instantly, and her usually aloof eyes immediately reddened.

"Owner!"

When Gu Yue saw Qi, a look of joy appeared on his face. His eyes swept around and he saw the unconscious Ran Hai Immortal Lord floating in mid-air. He instantly believed Lin Chen's words completely.

“Xiao Qi…”

Gu Yue smiled broadly: "I'm so glad you're alright. I never imagined I'd see you alive again in this lifetime..."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Let's talk again when we get back to the main hall. I think everyone has a lot to say."

Qi pursed her lips, controlling her emotions: "Okay!"

Soon, everyone returned to the main hall atop the snow-capped mountain. Lin Chen placed Gu Yue on a soft couch. Gu Yue looked at Lin Chen, his gaze finally settling on Qi: "Is he your master now?"

Lin Chen answered first: "When I first encountered Hu Linglong Pagoda and met Sister Qi, I wasn't even an immortal yet, and my strength was very weak. Sister Qi was kind-hearted and chose to help me and travel with me."

"Along the way, Sister Qi has saved me countless times. If it weren't for Sister Qi, I would have died long ago. Sister Qi and I signed a friendship contract, and there is no distinction between master and servant. Over the years, we have become like family."

Gu Yue looked at Qi: "Is that what he said?"

Qi nodded and said, "Yes, I was in a remote little immortal realm. The spiritual energy in that immortal realm was scarce. I was seriously injured when we separated and it took a long time to recover."

"Lin Chen is different from ordinary cultivators. There's no point in me staying any longer, so I might as well accompany him for a while."

"However, his cultivation path exceeded my imagination. In just over a hundred years, he grew from a low-level cultivator to a quasi-saint, and he became a top figure in the quasi-saint group, just like you, Master."

“As his strength gradually increased, he never forgot to help me find you. He went to great lengths, even taking action against the Immortal Emperor’s second disciple, Qingluan Immortal Lord, and third disciple, Ranhai Immortal Lord, before we finally met today.”

Gu Yue gasped: "Not even two hundred years old, a peak Quasi-Saint?"

Qi smiled and said, "Yes, most importantly, he comes from a small place with scarce spiritual energy and has no background. He just managed to get to where he is today and achieve what even the most outstanding talents from wealthy families cannot."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Sister Qi, I owe a lot to your help. Otherwise, I wouldn't be where I am today. Don't brag about me."

Qi smiled gently: "I'm just telling the truth."

Gu Yue laughed heartily: "I never thought I would see the light of day again, and the Immortal Lord Ran Hai who harmed me actually fell in front of me. How ingenious things are in this world, hahaha!"

Seeing Gu Yue swaying from laughter, seemingly about to collapse at any moment, Lin Chen suggested, "Senior, why don't I examine your body first and give you some recovery pills? We have plenty of time ahead, so there's no need to rush..."

Gu Yue nodded: "You also know medicine?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Yes, but I can't compare to those great physicians from the celestial realm."

Lin Chen sat in front of the bed and examined Gu Yue's body. He immediately frowned.

Gu Yue's injuries were so severe that he was barely clinging to life and seemed on the verge of death.

The sea of ​​consciousness is damaged, and the meridians are broken!
Gu Yue is now a cripple, and he will never be able to regain his former strength. Even if he recovers well, he will probably only be able to cast some minor spells, and his strength may not even be as great as that of an ordinary immortal.

Gu Yue was well aware of his situation and laughed, "The fact that Immortal Lord Ranhai attacked me is a truth that must be completely buried. He would never give me any chance to escape, so he chose to cripple all my strength."

"If he hadn't been thinking that the Linglong Pagoda might reappear one day and that I could be used to threaten Xiao Qi, he probably would have killed me long ago."

At this point, Gu Yue couldn't help but burst into laughter again: "He probably never imagined that seeing the Linglong Pagoda again would lead to this result..."

Since Gu Yue is still alive, the many past events are no longer so important. After all, the cause and effect are already clear, and what is unclear is only some of the details in between.

Immortal Lord Ranhai wanted to seize the Linglong Pagoda of Guyue, but it was inconvenient for him to make a direct move. After all, as a disciple personally taught by the Immortal Emperor, he still had to be mindful of his influence.

He used the Azure Phoenix Immortal Lord to gather many Quasi-Saints to attack Gu Yue. However, Gu Yue's strength exceeded everyone's expectations, and his willingness to die rather than give up the Linglong Pagoda also surprised everyone.

The plan of the Burning Sea Immortal Lord has completely failed!
