The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 792 Could I really be the chosen one?
Lin Chen was slightly embarrassed. He hadn't expected Qiao Wei to be so thoughtful and to know him so well.

"I was branded with a mental mark on Kunlun Mountain. After leaving Kunlun Mountain, I was hunted down by Daoist Lu. If it weren't for Miss Tang teaching me a technique for escaping, I might have already died at Daoist Lu's hands..."

Qiao Wei's eyes turned colder: "You suspect it's Zhao Feiyu?"

Now that things have come to this, there's nothing left to hide. Lin Chen nodded: "I humiliated his cousin in Kunlun Mountain, which is tantamount to going to his house to beat someone up. He didn't show up for such a thing. He doesn't think it's nothing, but rather that he has already made arrangements for his backup plan. He thinks I'm doomed, so there's no need for me to have any more contact with him."

Qiao Wei sneered: "If he confronts you, and you have a conflict, and then you die, naturally people will suspect him. But now that he hasn't even seen you, and you're dead, who would suspect him?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, that's what I think too. To get someone of Lu Daoren's strength to risk his life, it's definitely not something his cousin or his ilk could do. Apart from that, I haven't offended anyone, and I can't think of anyone else."

Qiao Wei's gaze fell on Lin Chen's face, and she sighed: "With your background, you were hunted down by your mother's suitors in the mortal world, and now that you've come to the cultivation world, you're being hunted down by the suitors of your father's admirers. You haven't enjoyed the love of your parents, but you've been taken care of in every way by their grudges..."

Lin Chen was speechless after hearing Qiao Wei's words.

It's too damaging.

Most importantly, that's the truth, and that's incredibly upsetting.

Lin Chen glanced helplessly at Qiao Wei: "Senior sister, what you said makes a lot of sense, but don't you even consider my feelings?"

Qiao Wei smiled and stretched out her hands: "Are you feeling unwell? Can I give you a hug?"

Lin Chen looked at the slightly teasing and mischievous smile on Qiao Wei's face, took a step forward, and walked directly in front of Qiao Wei: "Sister, do you really want a hug?"

Qiao Wei's face suddenly flushed slightly, but looking at Lin Chen standing in front of her, and seeing the slightly teasing look in his eyes, Qiao Wei gritted her teeth secretly and smiled sweetly: "Go ahead and hug me, is there a problem?"

Their eyes met, sparks of defiance and determination flashing in their gazes.

Who is afraid of who?

Lin Chen took another step forward and hugged Qiao Wei directly: "I've been bullied, and Master doesn't care about me. Senior Sister, you have to protect me."

Qiao Wei's pretty face suddenly turned bright red. She hadn't expected Lin Chen to actually hug her.

She didn't know what her mindset was; she just blurted out a sharp retort in the heat of the moment.

If it were anyone else, she would rather die than speak like that. Let alone hugging or even touching them, she would probably destroy them to dust. But speaking to Lin Chen, for some reason, it just came out without any psychological burden.

When Lin Chen hugged her like that, Qiao Wei's body suddenly stiffened.

Unlike the previous warm hug, which was affectionate, comforting, warm, humane, and brought inner peace, this hug had become a romantic one, ambiguous, and heart-pounding one... "Hey kid, what are you hugging me for?"

Lin Chen chuckled and loosened his grip slightly, saying, "Senior Sister, didn't you say so?"

Qiao Wei blushed: "Don't get cocky, brat. I just wanted to... comfort you. Don't go too far."

Lin Chen raised his arms, looking completely innocent: "Senior sister, how can you say one thing and do another? You're saying one thing and meaning another..."

Qiao Wei's face flushed pink as she slapped Lin Chen hard across the chest: "You brat, trying to make fun of your senior sister, huh?"

Lin Chen chuckled, withdrew his hand, and took a step back.

Qiao Wei rolled her eyes at Lin Chen and snorted, "You have no manners!"

Lin Chen smiled, but his mood was quite complicated.

Some emotions, after experiencing certain subtle moments, become extraordinary.

Lin Chen and Qiao Wei originally had a normal senior-junior relationship, but two consecutive nude exposures turned their originally intimate relationship into an ambiguous one.

If a woman's body is seen by a handsome man she doesn't dislike, or even likes, wouldn't her mindset change?
It would be a miracle if it didn't change.

“What Master said is not wrong. Truly successful cultivators rely on two things: their own efforts and their destiny. Many geniuses are protected by their sects, but they die unexpectedly for various reasons. Even those with a natural Dao physique, as you said, who are protected by their sects, still cannot grow up and die under various special circumstances…”

Qiao Wei stared at Lin Chen and said, "Think carefully about your life experiences. In fact, many times it really is fate. Some people are just a little unlucky and they are gone, but others are exactly the opposite, with all kinds of adventures, smooth sailing, and escapes from death."

Lin Chen thought about it and it seemed to make sense.

I've faced countless risks in my life, but each time there's always a reason that I've managed to escape unscathed. For example, this time, if Tang Li hadn't happened to teach me the Shrinking Earth Technique, I might have been killed.

What a coincidence!

Looking back on my life more carefully, I realize that this has happened more than once.

Could it be that I am truly the chosen one?
