The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 728 Hehe, do you think I believe it or not?
On the ninth day, at dusk.

Qiao Wei opened her eyes. She blinked, her mind quickly clearing, and many scenes from before she fainted flashed before her eyes. Her gaze suddenly turned sharp as a knife, her beautiful eyes slightly raised, filled with murderous intent.

These bastards actually poisoned themselves!

She naturally understood the other party's intention in poisoning her. Wasn't it because they were afraid that killing her would anger their master? So they poisoned her to make her faint and be eliminated, and then took the opportunity to seize Baitao City.

Bai Tao City has probably fallen into the hands of the Holy Fire Sect by now, hasn't it?
I just don't know if Gu Yuanjie and the others were killed or injured, or if they evacuated safely as they said.

Qiao Wei turned her eyes and froze.

This is my room in the city lord's mansion!

I'm still in Baitao City, in the City Lord's Mansion!

Qiao Wei's heart sank.

Am I being captured?

Qiao Wei took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and first checked her own condition.

Slightly weak...

Just as Qiao Wei was hesitating whether to close her eyes and rest for a while longer, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Qing Ling walked in.

Qiao Wei recognized Qing Ling's footsteps and sighed inwardly. It seemed that no one had managed to escape.
Hopefully, Gu Yuanjie and his group were only captured and not injured.

Qingling walked to the bedside and, seeing Qiao Wei open her eyes, exclaimed in surprise, "Peak Master, you're awake!"

Qiao Wei pulled Qingling close, covered her mouth, and whispered, "Keep your voice down. What's going on? Have we all been captured by the Holy Fire Sect?"

Qingling blinked and shook her head.

Not captured?

Qiao Wei was stunned for a moment, then a surge of joy welled up in her heart. Could it be that they had invited some reinforcements to be stationed in Baitao City, causing the Holy Fire Sect's plan to seize Baitao City to fail?
"The Holy Flame Sect didn't attack Baitao City?"

Qingling pulled Qiao Wei's hand away and replied, "They're here."

Qiao Wei asked in confusion, "Didn't you shoot it down?"

"Ah."

Qiao Wei breathed a sigh of relief, released Qing Ling, and asked with a smile, "Who did you invite to oversee things?"

"No one is coming."

Qiao Wei was stunned: "Then how did you manage to defend Baitao City? Feng Jixin must have come, right? He's a Nascent Soul cultivator..."

Qingling chuckled, "Today is the ninth day since you fell into a coma. They arrived early the morning of the second day after you fell into a coma, and we guarded them with a spirit light array for nine days..." Qiao Wei's eyes widened in shock, "How many of them came?"

Qingling replied, "Feng Jixin led the way, with seven or eight Nascent Soul cultivators and more than ten Golden Core cultivators, totaling about twenty people."

Qiao Wei gasped: "That would cost five or six million spirit stones a day! Nine days? You've burned through almost fifty million spirit stones! Where did you get so many spirit stones?!"

Qingling replied, "Not that many. So far, a total of 26 million spirit stones have been consumed."

Qiao Wei asked in surprise, "With a Nascent Soul stage expert leading the team and so many experts, a day's attack would cost at least five or six million spirit stones. How come you've only gotten so little after nine days?"

Qingling smiled and said, "Feng Jixin was here for the first few days, but he left on the fourth day and only returned this morning. Because he was away, the people's attack became somewhat sluggish, and the consumption of spirit stones decreased significantly. Until this morning, he returned and used the Returning Origin Divine Thunder to blast open the spiritual energy shield..."

Qiao Wei's eyes widened: "Returning Origin Divine Thunder? It blasted open the spiritual energy shield, so they rushed into the city. You say it hasn't fallen, then who can stop it?"

Qingling laughed and said, "Heaven is helping us too. As soon as he rushed in, he went after Lin Chen. But just when he was about to kill Lin Chen, he suddenly fainted and fell directly from the sky. Then Lin Chen rushed up and captured him, and then the attack outside stopped."

Qiao Wei felt like her mind was going blank; she even thought Qing Ling was joking with her.

A Nascent Soul stage expert fainted on his own?
Qingling pulled Qiao Wei out the door and flew onto the roof, where she immediately saw Feng Jixin locked to an iron pillar in the distance.

Qiao Wei looked at the still undamaged spiritual energy shield above her head, then at Feng Jixin, and her mind was in a mess.

“Tell me the whole story from beginning to end, starting from when I fainted.”

After Qingling finished speaking, Qiao Wei was stunned again.

Feng Jixin traveled back and forth for several days, bringing the Returning Origin Divine Thunder to blast open the spiritual energy shield, but he fainted while chasing Lin Chen.
Outrageous!

Everyone else believed it was a very low-probability, lucky event, but Qiao Wei didn't believe it for a second.

What kind of luck is that?
Why did she have to faint just a second before she was about to kill Lin Chen?
Haha, do you think I believe it or not?
Lin Chen?

What kind of tricks does this guy have? He can even instantly kill someone in the Nascent Soul stage. That's too exaggerated!

Where is Lin Chen?

“He’s been guarding it up there. He’s been there every day for the past few days, never leaving its side.”

Qiao Wei was suddenly moved.

Bai Tao City originally had no connection with this guy, but he took out tens of millions of spirit stones without batting an eye and risked his life to guard the city...

and many more.

Where did this guy get tens of millions of spirit stones?
