The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 776 The most arrogant tone saying the most cowardly words?
"Brother, please don't."

Lin Chen laughed and stopped him, saying, "I don't even have 100,000 spirit stones on me right now. I'm a penniless pauper."

Fang Dao laughed and said, "Let's not talk nonsense. Just because of your status, Brother Lin, if you really need it, I can gather the money and send it to you in no time. As for spirit stones, you can give them to me whenever you have them. There's no rush."

Fang Dao's words were indeed honest and not hypocritical.

They're not after you, Lin Chen, as a person; they're after your status as the personal disciple of the Master of Hengshan Cave in Nanyue.

If a disciple personally taught by the cave master were to renege on a debt of tens of millions of spirit stones, he would truly lose face.

Lin Chen politely declined, saying, "There's really no rush. It will take me quite a while to process everything I have on hand. Let's talk about it later."

Although the payment was settled afterward, I still owed a huge favor.

Lin Chen didn't want to owe anyone a favor.

Fang Dao didn't press the matter and smiled, "Then it's up to you, Brother Lin. Just say the word whenever you need me."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Okay!"

Fang Dao casually asked, "Brother Lin, how long are you planning to stay?"

Lin Chen had a sudden thought and replied with a smile, "I've already taken care of things. I'm just staying with my mother for a while, and I guess I'll be leaving soon."

Fang Dao asked in surprise, "Is your aunt in the Kunlun Mountains?"

Lin Chen replied, "My father is Lin Yuan, and my mother is Feng Lan. We live in Cave 648 on Tianquan Peak."

Fang Dao's eyes suddenly widened: "Lin Yuan, disciple of Elder Zhu Lei of Tianquan Peak?"

"Correct!"

Fang Dao immediately understood: "Back then, when Senior Sister Tang brought them back, it caused quite a stir. I heard they left a child in the mortal realm. Brother Lin, you..."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Yes, I am that child."

Fang Dao suddenly laughed: "Brother Lin, you really are a dragon among men. To rise from the mortal world and become the personal disciple of the Stone Cave Master, that's amazing."

After a pause, Fang Dao warmly invited, "Come on, come on, it's my treat. Let's go have a drink. Brother Lin, tell me about the mortal world. I've been curious about it for a long time. I heard it's a completely different world from the cultivation world." "Okay."

Since Fang Dao took the initiative to befriend him, Lin Chen naturally wouldn't refuse.

Having more friends means having more options, not to mention someone with a background like Fang Dao. Lin Chen brought up his mother earlier because he was thinking that if anything happened, Fang Dao could help him out.
As for the favors owed, you can repay them yourself.

Inside the restaurant, Fang Dao listened intently, his face filled with longing.

"The human world is so prosperous and peaceful. Just think of the wild and desolate realm, where monsters roam everywhere. Even a simple journey would be fraught with the fear of suddenly losing one's life..."

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "In my opinion, the lives of ordinary people in the Wilderness Realm are really not as good as those in the Human Realm. However, the biggest advantage of the Wilderness Realm is that it is rich in spiritual energy. Even ordinary people live much longer, let alone cultivators. As humans, longevity is an eternal pursuit."

Fang Dao sighed, "That's a very insightful statement. In fact, the core goal of cultivation is to achieve immortality and live a longer life. Even if you reach the Void Transformation stage and have an incredibly long lifespan, you will still die. That's why they all hope to become immortals, because becoming an immortal means having an even longer lifespan, or even living as long as heaven and earth."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Those things are too far removed from my own. I'm just a Golden Core cultivator, so I can't think that far ahead. Speaking of which, Brother Fang, you're so young, yet you've already reached the late Golden Core stage. That's truly impressive."

Fang Dao laughed nonchalantly, "My talent is average. I just benefited from my family's resources. They showered me with all sorts of good resources. Even a pig could fly. You cultivated in the mortal world where spiritual energy is scarce, yet you were able to break through to the Golden Core stage. You entered the cultivation world in less than a year and are already at the late Golden Core stage. You've also cultivated a body of sword bones. You are the real genius."

As the two were talking, a group of people suddenly came up to the hotel, surrounding a young man dressed in fine clothes and with an arrogant demeanor.

Fang Dao's expression changed instantly upon seeing the young man. He quickly lowered his head and muttered under his breath, "Damn it, what a small world..."

The young man's gaze swept across the hotel, finally settling on Fang Dao. His previously arrogant and aloof face suddenly broke into an excited smile as he sneered, "Oh, isn't this Fang Dao? I've caught you today, haven't I?"

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Fang Dao raised his head and snorted coldly, "What bad luck! I run into you everywhere, you troublemaker."

The young man's expression changed instantly, and he sneered, "Why are you suddenly so bold today? That's rare. What, aren't you afraid of getting beaten up?"

Fang Dao's expression changed, and he puffed out his chest like a smug man: "You're only a little bit stronger than me, what's with the arrogance? Yes, I can't beat you, so what? If you're so capable, just beat me to death."

Lin Chen was immediately embarrassed. What was this?

Saying the most cowardly things in the most arrogant tone?
It seems Fang Dao has been bullied by this guy quite a bit in the past.

The grandson of the peak master of Yaoguang Peak is being beaten up. It seems that Fang Dao's identity as the grandson of this big shot is a bit questionable, or perhaps this young man has an even more powerful background.
