The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 735 Could it be that she's fallen for him?

"The Grand Tournament of Sects in Xihou Prefecture?"

Lin Chen blinked: "What's that?"

Su Mubai knew that Lin Chen had only been in the cultivation world for a short time and was unaware of many things, so he explained in detail: "In Xihou Prefecture, there is a gathering that takes place once every fifty years. All the major sects gather together and send their most outstanding young disciples to compete. The winners can obtain powerful magic weapons, top-grade pills, and other rewards, and the winning sects can also obtain huge benefits."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Putting aside my strength, I haven't even joined a sect yet, so who can I represent?"

Su Mubai chuckled: "You are Peak Master Qiao's junior brother, so you can represent Hengshan Grotto-heaven in Nanyue."

Lin Chen was a little confused: "And what about you guys?"

Su Mubai laughed and said, "We naturally represent our respective sects. It seems you haven't figured out the relationship between cave heavens and sects. In a cave heaven, the cave master is the most powerful, right?"

Lin Chen nodded: "The cave master is the master of the cave heaven, so naturally he is the most powerful."

Su Mubai explained, "The cave master is the master of the cave heaven, which means that the entire cave heaven belongs to him. It is the cave master's right to allow which sect to enter. The cave master and the sects in the cave heaven are not in a superior-subordinate relationship, but rather a relationship similar to that of a landlord and tenant. Do you understand?"

Lin Chen suddenly realized: "The Stone Cave Master is the landlord, and the four major sects are all outsiders who rent rooms in the cave?"

Su Mubai chuckled: "That's right. However, landlords also need tenants. After all, an empty cave heaven without enough cultivators makes it difficult to carry out many things. Therefore, the cave master needs sects to move in, and the four major sects respect the cave master. That's the relationship."

"In most blessed lands, the cave master is usually the strongest person in a certain sect, which is naturally the most powerful sect in that blessed land. However, Cave Master Shi has a special background and a unique personality. He only took in three disciples and spent his days in seclusion, ignoring worldly affairs. His eldest and second disciples were both traveling around. Peak Master Qiao also inherited his personality. Flying Waterfall Peak has never established itself as a sect. It is a place where anyone can go, where people can develop freely and manage themselves."

"In the past, the four major sects of Nanyue would always participate in the sect competition. Nanyue Cave Heaven had no representative, and the four major sects dared not represent Nanyue Cave Heaven. Now that you have come and your age is up to standard, as long as the cave master agrees, you can represent Nanyue Cave Heaven in the competition."

Lin Chen was immediately embarrassed: "I'm only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. If I were to represent Nanyue, wouldn't I be bringing shame to Nanyue?"

Su Mubai smiled and said, "Once your sword bone has reached a certain level, your combat power will be quite high. There's still time; you can ask him then."

"to make."

Lin Chen was also quite interested in this Xihouzhou sect competition. He figured he wouldn't fight, but at least he could watch the show.

Su Mubai asked, "What are your plans next?"

Lin Chen hesitated for a moment: "I will stay in Baitao City for a while, and then I want to go to Kunlun Mountain Cave Heaven."

Su Mubai asked in surprise, "That's quite far."

Lin Chen chuckled: "It is quite far, but let's just treat it as a journey. I know too little about this world, so it's good to travel and see more. I can't always stay at home and work in isolation."

Su Mubai nodded: "That's right. You can take a merchant ship. The routes merchant ships take are relatively safe, and they all have onboard guards. Although it may take a little longer, the safety is much higher. And you can cultivate as you wish on the ship without any problems." Lin Chen smiled: "That's what I was planning to do too. I don't want to become food for a demon beast."

Su Mubai extended his fair hand: "See you at the sect competition a year from now."

Lin Chen reached out and shook hands: "Okay!"

Su Mubai's hands were very soft, smooth and comfortable to hold, but Lin Chen didn't hold them for long, politely touching them and then withdrawing.

Su Mubai turned and took a few steps, then suddenly turned back: "Next time we meet, could you please not be so formal and call me Miss Su?"

Lin Chen was stunned: "Huh?"

Su Mubai smiled gently: "We've been through thick and thin together, so we're friends, right? You can call me by my name, or if you find those three characters hard to pronounce, you can just call me Mubai..."

Su Mubai exuded an ethereal aura, a gentle smile on his face, his eyes carrying a hint of subtle expectation.

Lin Chen nodded subconsciously: "Okay... Su... Mubai."

Su Mubai's smile suddenly deepened, and he waved happily at Lin Chen before turning around, flying away on his sword, boarding Su Dingbo's flying boat, and leaving Baitao City in an instant.

Mubai?

Lin Chen's mood was slightly complicated.

She brought this up herself, so it seems she has quite a good impression of me.

Murong Feng had pursued her for a long time, but she had always rejected him firmly and addressed him with extremely unfamiliar terms. Yet she allowed him to address her so intimately.

Could it be that she's fallen for me?

The thought popped into Lin Chen's mind, but he immediately chuckled to himself, realizing he was probably overthinking it.

There are three great illusions in life, and the number one one is "I think he/she likes me." Don't be delusional.

Jiaxue and Yueyue are still waiting for me.

We should hurry up and strengthen ourselves first, because only by becoming strong can we find the right path!
