The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 771 I have a feeling he's still alive...

"I dont go."

To Lin Chen's surprise, Feng Lan refused.

Her gaze swept across the house, her eyes filled with deep reluctance: "Qi Sijia wanted this cave dwelling, but I always refused. It's not that I'm reluctant to part with the cave dwelling, it's that I'm reluctant to part with this wooden house, and with every single item in it. Only here, looking at them, can I feel that he is still by my side."

Feng Lan's gaze finally settled on Lin Chen's face, her eyes filled with guilt: "Chenchen, I'm sorry. From childhood to adulthood, I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a mother. Now you're all grown up, have your own family and career, and no longer need my care. I don't want to hold you back either. Let me stay here. I want to wait for him here. Really, I have a premonition that he's still alive..."

Lin Chen was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Okay."

At that moment, he truly felt the deep love between his mother and father.

He can understand her decision.

With me, the cave master's personal disciple, protecting her, I figured she wouldn't suffer any more bullying if she stayed here. I'll visit her again when I have time, and we'll see when she changes her mind.

Feng Lan suddenly stood up: "It's getting dark, I'll go cook... Will you stay for dinner?"

Feng Lan's words were filled with anticipation and a hint of caution, as if she was afraid that Lin Chen would refuse.

Lin Chen smiled and agreed, "Okay, I'll help you."

Feng Lan, her eyes red, refused, "No, you sit down, I'll do it."

Lin Chen stopped insisting and smiled, "Okay, then I'll sit next to you and chat with you."

"it is good!"

Feng Lan picked various vegetables she had grown by the door and busied herself preparing a sumptuous dinner. Lin Chen didn't help at all; he just chatted casually about some of his interesting life stories.

"Try it and see if you like it."

Lin Chen picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of a braised pork rib, and smiled, praising, "Delicious! Your cooking skills are really good. If you opened a restaurant, the business would be very good."

Feng Lan breathed a sigh of relief: "Then eat more, and try this too..."

Lin Chen didn't stand on ceremony and ate heartily, finishing all the food he had prepared.

Seeing this, Feng Lan's eyes reddened and tears streamed down her face. She quickly turned away under some pretext and gently wiped them away, not wanting Lin Chen to see.

Lin Chen, who was eating with his head down, had tears welling up in his eyes.

He understood why his mother insisted on not letting him help; it was simply that a mother wanted to cook a complete meal for her son herself to make up for the lack of maternal love.

After finishing his meal, Lin Chen got up to say goodbye and returned to the guest house. Lying in bed, Lin Chen was restless.

Originally thinking that he would be able to see his parents, he was surprised to receive the devastating news that his father had been missing for ten years.

That was the Yin-Yang Valley, a place of utter desolation. Almost everyone who accompanied them was killed or injured, and my father disappeared. Although we haven't seen his body, he hasn't returned for ten years, so the probability of him being dead is practically 100%.

Lin Chen didn't believe his mother's premonition; perhaps it was just a way of expressing his unwillingness to accept reality.

According to her aunt Feng Yazhen's description, her mother had a strong and assertive personality, but today she seemed quite depressed, which shows how much her father's disappearance affected her.

Perhaps we could inquire about the purpose of the Kunlun Mountain Sect's entry into Yin-Yang Valley ten years ago.

Lin Chen felt that this matter was related to the Tomb of the Demon Emperor that Qiu Shisan had mentioned.

Unless there are huge profits involved, who would risk going to a dangerous place?
The next morning, Song Peng went to find Lin Chen.

"The cave master has ordered you to come and meet him."

"Please lead the way."

Lin Chen followed Song Peng across many of the main peaks of the Kunlun Mountains, finally landing in an inconspicuous mountain basin. In this basin was an ice lake. Although the lake water was frozen, many lotus flowers were blooming on the ice.

These lotus flowers are clearly different from ordinary lotus flowers. Their leaves are emerald green like jade, and the lotus flowers are shimmering with divine light and dotted with silvery clouds, exuding a sacred aura.

A young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old sat cross-legged by the lake. He had skin as white as jade, eyes as bright as stars, and was extremely handsome. In front of him was a fishing rod, and he was fishing in the frozen lake.

"Cave Master, Lin Chen has arrived."

Cave Master!

Lin Chen's eyes widened in shock. The handsome young man who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old was actually Tang Fenkong, the cave master of Kunlun Mountain, a big shot whose every move shook the cultivation world!
Tang Fenkong turned his head, a smile on his face, his eyes gleaming. In that instant, Lin Chen felt that all his secrets had been laid bare.

Lin Chen bowed respectfully: "Lin Chen, disciple of Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue, greets the Cave Master!"

Tang Fenkong chuckled softly, his voice clear and crisp, like that of a young man, showing no signs of aging: "Wasn't Old Shi supposed to be focused on seclusion? Why did he decide to take on another disciple?"

Lin Chen answered frankly, "When I was in the mortal realm, I visited the Liangchang Mountain Grotto, which had perished underground. I saw the remains of Senior Liu Sansheng and obtained his relics, the Haoran Technique and the Three Provinces Sword. My master had a past with Senior Liu and, out of love for him, wanted to take care of me, so he let me follow my third senior sister, Qiao Wei, to cultivate..."

Tang Fenkong looked slightly surprised: "You come from the human realm?"
