The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 677 A Strange Feeling of Heartache

Since Yue Shanhe wanted to offer a reward, Lin Chen decided not to stand on ceremony with him.

Since Lin Chen had no intention of joining the Ten Thousand Swords Sect anyway, it was only right that he should be rewarded for helping to bring back Elder Su's body.

Yue Shanhe paused for a moment, his tone tinged with helplessness: "Xuan Tie Wu Jing is even rarer than magic treasures. Over the years, your senior sister has used all sorts of methods to plunder all the Xuan Tie Wu Jing in Hengshan Cave Heaven. Even if I wanted to give it to you, I don't have any. Why don't you ask for something else?"

Yue Shanhe's expression was somewhat subtle. He took the initiative to offer to thank Lin Chen, but when Lin Chen asked, he realized he had nothing to offer, which made things a little awkward.

Lin Chen was also stunned. Qiao Wei had completely plundered the Xuan Tie Wu Jing from the entire Hengshan Cave in Nanyue?
What should I do?
Lin Chen smiled and said, "I don't lack anything else, so let's just forget about it. Anyway, I just happened to come across this on my way, so running an errand is nothing. Even if it's just for Miss Su's sake, it's only right that I make this trip."

Standing beside him, Su Dingbo thought for a moment: "Everyone in Hengshan Cave Heaven knows that cultivating the sword bones of the Three-Foot Sword Curtain requires Xuan Tie Wu Jing. We don't really have much Xuan Tie Wu Jing here, but other blessed lands and grotto heavens might have it, and some might be willing to trade it. I'm going to a gathering of cultivators soon, and I'll try my best to see if I can buy some for you."

A gathering of cultivators?

Lin Chen was taken aback: "Wasn't our cave sealed off?"

Lin Chen is now Qiao Wei's junior brother, who has been personally taught her unique skills. Qiao Wei and the sect leaders treat each other as equals, so Lin Chen naturally has a different say. At least, he doesn't have to hide his questions and can raise them openly.

Even if one's strength is inferior, if one's seniority and status are higher, then everything is negotiable.

Yue Shanhe replied, "The cave master's sealing of the cave is for ordinary people and ordinary disciples. Necessary activities still need to be participated in. Each cave has a secret realm to obtain cultivation resources, but the types of resources are also different. Trade is always necessary to exchange for the corresponding resources."

After a pause, Yue Shanhe smiled and said, "Although you are a newcomer and just arrived, now that you have become the junior brother of Peak Master Qiao, you are naturally different from ordinary disciples. If you want to go out, you can go to Peak Master Qiao. As long as she agrees, it will be fine."

Lin Chen was overjoyed. Could he really leave just because Qiao Wei agreed?
Originally, I thought it would take many years after I entered the cave heaven to gain the qualification to leave, but now, not long after I entered, the cave master has become my senior uncle and Qiao Fengzhu has become my senior sister. She is even going to teach me the ultimate skill, the Three-Foot Sword Curtain.

Yue Shanhe turned to Su Mubai and smiled, "Mubai, since you and Lin Chen have a past, why don't you show him around and do your best as a host?"

Su Mubai cupped his hands in agreement: "Yes, Sect Master."

Lin Chen and Su Mubai walked out of the Ten Thousand Swords Hall. Su Mubai smiled and said, "Let's go to my place for a while."

"it is good!"

Lin Chen and Su Mubai walked briskly for a few steps, then suddenly said softly, "Please accept my condolences."

Su Mubai said calmly, “When my grandfather entered the secret realm, the Spirit Rhinoceros Storm began, but he did not return. Everyone knew that he must have met with misfortune. After all, the Spirit Rhinoceros Storm is fatal to cultivators. Originally, we thought that his body had been completely destroyed. Now that you have brought him back and given his remains a proper resting place, that is already very good.”

Lin Chen nodded: "Have your Su family been in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect for generations?" Su Mubai nodded: "Those with talent naturally join the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, while those without talent are still down the mountain."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "It's great. I can go down and reunite with my family anytime."

Su Mubai turned to look at Lin Chen: "How is your family now?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "My parents live in the Kunlun Mountains. After I was born, they were injured due to some changes and were taken back by someone. I was raised by a friend of my father."

Su Mubai was slightly surprised: "Have you... met them before?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Not yet."

Su Mu rolled her eyes with sympathy: "Sorry."

Lin Chen laughed heartily, "Twenty-eight years is a long time for ordinary people, but it's not long for cultivators. There will be plenty of time to meet again in the future."

Looking at Lin Chen's smiling face, Su Mubai felt a strange mix of heartache and admiration for him.

The two circled around the mountains, then took off on their swords.

Su Mubai's residence was located in a bamboo forest, consisting of three simple wooden houses, a kitchen, a bedroom, and a quiet room for daily cultivation or alchemy.

In front of the wooden house, some vegetables and fruits were planted, red and green, which was very pleasing to the eye. Further away, there was a lotus pond, with lotus leaves swaying in the wind and a faint fragrance of flowers in the air.

Su Mubai took out his stove and began to brew tea to entertain Lin Chen, chatting casually beside the melon and vegetable patch.

Just as they were having a pleasant conversation, Murong Feng's familiar voice suddenly came from outside the bamboo forest.

"Junior Sister Su, Junior Sister Su, are you there?"

Lin Chen turned his head and smiled, "We have guests."

Su Mubai frowned slightly: "It's a bit annoying."
