The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 357 Why did you provoke them for no reason?
"Beihe Resort?"

Lin Chen looked around and laughed, "This is like a high-end business meeting..."

Hou Jihu wiped the sweat from his forehead and laughed, "Although cultivators are no secret and everyone knows it, we still need to avoid ordinary people when we hold this kind of gathering. A resort hotel or a summer resort would be the most suitable place."

The two were talking at the hotel entrance when a black limousine pulled up in front of them. The door opened, and the three women they had met on the train got off.

Hou Jihu's expression changed: "The three people you mentioned earlier, are they them?"

Lin Chen nodded: "You know him?"

Hou Jihu whispered, "The oldest one is Elder Zhang Yun of the Divine Cloud Sect, a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm..."

At this moment, the three people had already walked over. Hou Jihu seemed worried that they would hear what he was saying, so he quickly shut his mouth and showed a respectful expression.

The middle-aged woman frowned when she saw Lin Chen, and paused slightly in her steps: "Whose family are you from?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I'm from no particular sect or faction, just came to broaden my horizons."

Hou Jihu quickly identified himself: "Elder Zhang, hello, I am Hou Jihu, who is in charge of business in the Southwest region of Baiyao Sect."

Zhang Yun nodded indifferently without saying a word. The middle-aged woman quickly helped her into the hotel. Clearly, they didn't take Hou Jihu seriously.

The aloof young woman walked up to Lin Chen, looked him up and down, and sneered, "You came with him?"

Lin Chen nodded readily: "Yes."

The aloof girl sneered, "Then you should thank me for finding you a good spot; otherwise, you wouldn't even have the right to come in here..."

Lin Chen frowned but remained silent.

He already had no goodwill towards the Divine Cloud Sect because of Pei Shanming, and now, encountering these three arrogant women, he felt even more disgusted and naturally didn't want to pay any attention to them.

The aloof girl noticed Lin Chen's displeasure, her gaze shifted, and she walked towards him with a cold expression: "Hmph, looks quite unconvinced..."

"Zhiyan, let's go."

A middle-aged woman's voice rang out from inside. The aloof young woman stopped in her tracks, pointed at Lin Chen, and said, "If you're so capable, then don't leave."

The aloof young woman tossed out a remark and turned to leave. Hou Jihu whispered, "The Divine Cloud Sect is the local tyrant, used to acting domineeringly. Why did you provoke them? Now you're in trouble. Why don't you just skip this and leave while they're still free? They don't know your background anyway..."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I made room for them, wasn't that helping them? Shouldn't they be thanking me? People should always be reasonable." Hou Jihu smiled bitterly and said, "Cultivators talk about might, might makes right."

Lin Chen changed the subject: "Isn't Baiyaomen's business quite large? Why do I feel like they're not giving you much face?"

Hou Jihu explained, "The Hundred Medicines Sect isn't the only one in the medicinal herb business. We are suppliers. As long as a supplier doesn't have a monopoly, their position is naturally inferior to that of the buyer who pays. Although the Divine Cloud Sect has a demand for medicinal herbs, in terms of supply and demand, they are naturally more powerful."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "This is so real."

Hou Jihu laughed and said, "That's how it is. I'm no different from the field manager who goes out to find markets for the material suppliers. Everyone here is a potential customer, someone who makes me money. I can't afford to offend anyone..."

Hou Jihu steered the conversation back on track, offering a serious suggestion: "Honestly, why don't you leave first, so they don't come back to cause you trouble? They might not kill you, but publicly humiliating you or beating you up is completely unnecessary."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "The Divine Cloud Sect doesn't have the final say here, even among the three sects and four clans. It's alright, we're already here, we should broaden our horizons before we leave..."

Hou Jihu sighed and advised, "Then keep your eyes peeled, avoid them, and don't confront them head-on."

"it is good!"

Hou Jihu helped Lin Chen check in, and Lin Chen and Hou Jihu shared a standard room.

Hou Jihu gave Lin Chen some instructions and then went to visit clients and busy himself with business, while Lin Chen went out for a stroll alone.

The resort is very large, but it has been completely sealed off for this grand event and is closed to the public. Only practitioners are allowed to enter.

Lin Chen, having nothing to do and no friends to visit, walked along the footpath deeper into the resort.

Strolling around, Lin Chen came to a small building nestled against the mountain. Not far from the building was a small waterfall, with babbling brooks and lush trees, a scene that was truly delightful.

"ah……"

The baby's laughter caught Lin Chen's attention. He turned his head and was immediately startled.

At the railing of the small building's platform, a little girl of about three years old was trying hard to squeeze her body through the railing. When Lin Chen saw her, more than half of her body had already come out!
Lin Chen subconsciously took a step and ran down to the bottom of the small building.

Just as Lin Chen ran down, the little girl's body had already completely passed through the railing, and her body suddenly tilted to the side, falling directly downwards.

"what!"
