The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 691 Your words hit home.
"Dad, you've finally finished your seclusion. I have something important to report to you."

Murong Feng rushed into his father Murong Yun's room, his tone urgent.

Murong Yun frowned: "So impulsive! How old are you? Still so unsteady!"

Murong Feng's expression stiffened slightly. He quickly composed himself and explained, "It is because this matter is of utmost importance that I am so agitated."

Murong Yun leaned back in his chair and nodded slightly: "Tell me, what is it?"

Murong Feng said in a deep voice, "The Water and Fire Daoist's famous magic weapon, the Water and Fire Mirror, has appeared. It is in the hands of a new disciple of Flying Water Peak. That person is called Lin Chen. Some time ago, he entered the cave heaven from the mortal world with the help of a Heavenly Revelation Jade Gate. The Water and Fire Mirror was brought in by him."

Murong Yun's expression changed slightly: "And then?"

Murong Feng looked at his father expectantly: "This guy has some grudges against me, and we even fought. That Water-Fire Mirror is too powerful. Even when I used the Sword Gourd, it was completely countered. He actually pierced my Azure Umbrella with an ice spear. This Water-Fire Mirror is so powerful. If Father makes a move, perhaps we can take it for ourselves."

Murong Yun's expression, which had been normal, immediately turned serious after hearing this: "You have a grudge against him?"

Murong Feng, oblivious to his father's expression, said angrily, "That kid also likes Su Mubai and pesters him every day. Moreover, Su Mubai seems to have a bit of a crush on him too, and his attitude towards him is different from others. I couldn't stand it, so I went to warn him. That kid probably relied on having the Water and Fire Mirror, and he even mocked me, so we started fighting."

Murong Yun asked in a deep voice, "Who made the first move?"

Murong Feng replied, "I attacked first, originally intending to teach him a lesson and keep him bedridden for a few years. But the Water-Fire Mirror was too powerful. After just one exchange, the Azure Umbrella broke, so I ran away quickly. Hmph, if it weren't for the Water-Fire Mirror, I would have crushed him in no time!"

After a pause, Murong Feng said eagerly, "Dad, why don't you take the Water-Fire Mirror? With your strength, the Water-Fire Mirror would be like adding wings to a tiger. Without the Water-Fire Mirror, that kid wouldn't be a match for me, and I could easily crush him."

Murong Yun stared at her son for a few moments, then said calmly, "If you like Su Mubai, you can pursue her yourself. I also hope you can win over such an outstanding woman. But don't take any further action against Lin Chen, and definitely don't lay a hand on him."

Murong Feng was stunned, staring at his father in disbelief: "Why? The Water-Fire Mirror! The Water-Fire True Man used it to dominate the cultivation world, and you're not tempted at all?"

Murong Yun said calmly, "The Water and Fire Mirror, who wouldn't be tempted? The key is that being tempted is fine, but taking action requires sufficient strength; otherwise, you'll only invite trouble."

Murong Feng vaguely understood his father's meaning, but was puzzled: "Could it be that other powerful people are also eyeing the Water-Fire Mirror, and you can't compete with them, Dad?" Murong Yun calmly replied: "Lin Chen's master and the cave master are friends. Now he is Qiao Wei's junior brother, and Qiao Wei personally taught him the Three-Foot Sword Curtain technique. As for the Water-Fire Mirror, he offered it to the cave master when he entered the cave, but the cave master returned it to him. What do you think this means?"

Murong Feng's eyes widened in shock and disbelief.

He asked blankly, "Who is his master?"

Murong Yun replied, "Liu Sansheng, who died in Liangchang Mountain Cave Heaven, is dead. Lin Chen inherited Liu Sansheng's belongings and cultivation techniques, so he can be considered his disciple."

Murong Feng opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Originally, everyone thought Lin Chen was just an unknown nobody, someone from the mortal world. What powerful cultivator background could he possibly have? They could bully him if they wanted, and steal the Water-Fire Mirror if they wanted. But in the blink of an eye, Lin Chen became Qiao Wei's junior brother and even called the cave master "uncle-master".

His father was the vice sect master of the Flying Crane Sect, with strength reaching the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. This had always been his proudest background, but in the blink of an eye, he had been outshone by Lin Chen.
The cave master, who dares to mess with him?
Even if Qiao Wei has a sword in hand, she can still kill even the sect leader without hesitation. Does she need a reason to kill the son of a vice sect leader?

Murong Yun spoke again: "The daughter of Liu Ruqing, an elder of the Myriad Manifestations Sect, provoked Lin Chen and led people to kill him. However, Lin Chen killed her instead, directly destroying her Golden Core and turning her into a cripple. Liu Ruqing personally took action, but encountered the returned Qiao Wei. In front of hundreds of cultivators, he bowed his head, admitted defeat, and apologized. He was also extorted by Qiao Wei for 600,000 spirit stones, and even his magic weapon, the Demonic Ox Drum, was taken away by Qiao Wei."

After a pause, Murong Yun stared at Murong Feng: "You'd better put this matter aside and not attack him again, because if you really want to deal with him, you have to do it yourself and bear the consequences yourself. I can't help you. If I take action, Qiao Wei will definitely do the same. She's the kind of person who will always find something to cause trouble for no reason, let alone have a moral high ground."

Murong Feng was dumbfounded and his mind was in turmoil, but a thought inexplicably flashed through his mind.

Now that Lin Chen has such a distinguished background, will Su Mubai like him even more?

Murong Feng felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if a sharp knife had been plunged into his heart and twisted violently.

That's a bit of a direct hit to the heart.

I'll deal with him myself, but he has the Water and Fire Mirror. How am I supposed to handle him?
