The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 767 That melodramatic love triangle

After hearing this, Feng Lan felt much more at ease.

Although her strength is not high enough, she has been in the Kunlun Mountain Grotto for more than 20 years and has a complete understanding of this world.

Although the master of the Hengshan Stone Cave in Nanyue has few disciples and no sect inheritance, his strength is extremely formidable, making him one of the top experts in the cultivation world.

As his personal disciple, Lin Chen still needs to be given some respect, even in Kunlun Mountain.

The Stone Cave Master has an eccentric personality. If someone kills his personal disciple, what do you think he will do?
When he takes action, he doesn't care whether it's Kunlun Mountain or anywhere else; in his eyes, there's no difference.

Lin Chen lowered his head, picked up the scattered clothes, walked to the stream, and began to wash them. At the same time, he asked, "Mom, I just heard them say that Dad is missing?"

Feng Lan nodded sadly: "He went to explore the Yin-Yang Valley with an elder from the sect. The entire team was attacked by demonic beasts. Although the elder escaped, he was crippled. Most of the other disciples were killed or injured. Your father also disappeared and has not been heard from since..."

Lin Chen's heart sank. Yin Yang Valley was a dead end!
Previously, when Qiu Shisan and Lin Chen were discussing the Tomb of the Demon Emperor, Qiu Shisan mentioned that the Tomb of the Demon Emperor was located in Yin Yang Valley. However, he never expected that his father would also disappear in Yin Yang Valley.

Lin Chen comforted him, "Just because someone is missing doesn't mean they're dead. They might suddenly reappear one day."

Feng Lan naturally knew that her son was trying to comfort her. She was also well aware of the reality that her husband was most likely dead. However, as his closest relative, she would not give up as long as there was any hope.

Lin Chen quickly washed the dust off his clothes, wrung them out, put them in a wooden basin, and picked them up: "Mom, let's go back."

Watching Lin Chen wash the clothes with practiced ease, Feng Lan knew that her son must have suffered a lot over the years; otherwise, how could he wash clothes so cleanly and efficiently?

Thinking of this, Feng Lan felt a pang of sadness and guilt.

The two returned to the courtyard house, and Feng Lan unlocked the barrier, allowing them to enter the house.

"How have you been all these years? How is Mr. Xue doing?"

Lin Chen handed the letter Xue Kuangren had left for him to Feng Lan: "My master taught me self-reliance from a young age and taught me cultivation. Later, I served in the army for five years. After I came back, my master arranged a marriage for me..."

Feng Lan's eyes lit up: "You're married?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Yes." Feng Lan asked worriedly, "Then what will happen to her when you go into Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue?"

Lin Chen replied, "Don't worry, she has her own destiny. Her ancestors were in Penglai Mountain, and she was sent there to inherit her ancestors' cultivation. We will meet again someday."

Feng Lan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I was worried that it would be too difficult for you two, one in the cultivation world and the other in the mortal world."

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "You also have a daughter-in-law in Cangshan Cave Heaven. She was injured that day, and in order to save her, I used a Cangshan Gate Passage to send her into Cangshan..."

Feng Lan's eyes widened: "Two?"

Lin Chen nodded and briefly recounted the story of the three of them. After listening, Feng Lan's expression became complicated, and she sighed, "They are all good women. You must treat them well and not let them down."

Lin Chen nodded and asked, "Can you tell me what happened after Miss Tang took you back to Kunlun Mountain?"

Feng Lan's eyes were complicated: "Miss Tang liked your father very much. If it weren't for me back then, your father would probably be with Miss Tang. I didn't have a gate pass, and according to the rules, I couldn't enter Kunlun Mountain. Miss Tang led us into Kunlun, and then went to beg the cave master, punishing herself to guard Beihan City for twenty years in exchange for my qualification to enter Kunlun. She not only saved my father and my lives, but also helped me enter Kunlun and fulfilled my marriage with your father."

Lin Chen said softly, "So, Miss Tang has done our family a great favor?"

"Yes, after the cave master made the promise, she went to Beihan City alone. Twenty years have passed since then. When she returned, your father had been missing for several years. In the past few years, she has come to see me occasionally. If it weren't for her care, I would probably have had a much harder time."

Feng Lan's expression was complicated: "Miss Tang is a good person. She could have saved only your father that day and not me. After all, I was seriously injured and it would have been normal if I couldn't be saved. But she not only did her best to save me, but also did so much for me. I know that she did all this not for me, but for your father."

"Thinking of her suffering alone in Beihan City, fighting against demonic beasts, while I was with your father, I felt uneasy. I was weak and had no other way to repay her, so I made a decision: I would leave quietly after she returned from Beihan City in twenty years, to let them be together. But man proposes, God disposes. Before she returned, your father disappeared..."

Lin Chen blinked, unsure how to evaluate the relationship.

The father had a Miss Tang who deeply loved him, and the mother had a Guo Tang who loved her but could not be with her and eventually went mad...

After a few seconds of silence, Lin Chen asked softly, "Does Dad have feelings for Miss Tang?"
