The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 880 Seeing Chu Jiaxue Again

Lin Chen spoke his true feelings, but it was all done deliberately.

He wanted to pour cold water on this group of people and cool down their fanatical enthusiasm for ascending to immortality.

He feared that some of these powerful figures might have extreme personalities. They might be keeping their secrets to themselves while everyone was here, only to come looking for trouble after they left, perhaps even trying to use soul-searching to uncover the truth.

Seeing that everyone's emotions had cooled down, Lin Chen finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Having cooperated so well, recounting what happened and helping with the analysis, surely no one will bother me now?

After that, Lin Chen had nothing more to do. Even if there were other people later, the City Lord Zuo would relay the relevant information, and no one would come looking for him anymore, because he had said everything he could and made it clear.

As for the demon race's siege, that's something for these big shots to worry about; it has nothing to do with Lin Chen, a nobody.

On the fifth day, the Penglai delegation finally arrived, and Chu Jiaxue was among them!
Lin Chen and Gu Yuexi were chatting when they received the report. Excited, they left their residence and headed straight for the front hall.

At the main entrance of the lobby, Gu Yuexi suddenly stopped, a look of unease on her face.

She didn't know how to face her sister, nor did she know if her sister would be angry...

Lin Chen turned his head to look at Gu Yuexi. Gu Yuexi bit her lip, pushed Lin Chen, and sent him to the front door. She then hid to the side, feeling uneasy.

Lin Chen stopped at the doorway and scanned the crowd in the hall. Sure enough, he was delighted to see that familiar figure.

Chu Jiaxue!
She really came!
Almost two years later, I finally saw her again.

Lin Chen ran quite fast, and his sudden appearance at the gate immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Chu Jiaxue casually turned her head, her gaze naturally drifting towards the doorway, then she froze, her eyes suddenly revealing a look of joy.

There were quite a few people in the hall, so Lin Chen couldn't act too exaggeratedly for the moment. He simply raised his hand, waved at Chu Jiaxue, and smiled happily.

Chu Jiaxue snapped out of her daze, her body soaring into the air as she rushed out of the hall, then plunged into Lin Chen's arms, clinging to him tightly.

This scene shocked everyone in the hall.

How is this going?

Who is this?
The elders looked puzzled, but a tall, aloof-looking man in the room suddenly frowned and his gaze turned cold.

Lin Chen was moved by Chu Jiaxue's enthusiastic embrace.

Don't let her usual aloofness fool you; she's a woman with a passionate heart, capable of both love and hate. In front of so many people, she threw herself into his arms without any hesitation, showing just how much she longed to see him.

"Am I dreaming? I was saying I'd come find you as soon as I got out, and here I am at the very first stop..." Lin Chen laughed, "Aren't you surprised?"

Chu Jiaxue smiled happily and said, "Of course I'm surprised, I'm so surprised!"

Lin Chen smiled slightly and gestured with his chin towards the direction behind Chu Jiaxue: "Take a look back, there's another surprise."

Chu Jiaxue turned around and saw Gu Yuexi, whose eyes were filled with excitement, yet also a hint of hesitation and trepidation.

"Xiao Xi!"

Chu Jiaxue cheered with delight, rushed out of Lin Chen's arms, and ran straight to Gu Yuexi, hugging her tightly.

"You're here too! That's great! That's really... great!"

Gu Yuexi's anxiety was instantly washed away by Chu Jiaxue's heartfelt joy. She hugged Chu Jiaxue tightly and exclaimed excitedly, "Sister, I've finally met you!"

City Lord Zuo Xinchen introduced, "This is Lin Chen, a disciple of the Stone Cave Master of Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue. This time, when Giant Wave City was attacked by a beast tide, if it weren't for Lin Chen's intervention, I'm afraid everyone in Giant Wave City, including myself, would have become food for the monsters."

All eyes fell on Lin Chen in surprise, their gazes filled with doubt. How could such a young man save Giant Wave City from the beast tide?
Surrounded by onlookers, Lin Chen quickly cupped his hands in greeting: "Lin Chen from Hengshan, Nanyue, greets everyone."

These were all his wife's fellow disciples, so Lin Chen remained very polite and courteous to avoid causing Chu Jiaxue any controversy.

One of the middle-aged women glanced at the three of them and smiled, "You must be Jiaxue's husband, from the human realm?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes."

The middle-aged woman looked Lin Chen up and down: "Not bad, no wonder Jiaxue couldn't forget you, even giving up her inheritance to return to the mortal realm to say goodbye. You're quite capable, actually becoming the Stone Cave Master's personal disciple. Every one of his disciples is a prodigy..."

Lin Chen replied politely, "You flatter me, senior."

The middle-aged beauty smiled and said, "I am Chen Meifeng, the sect leader of the Xuanfeng Sect. Fairy Lingfeng is my junior sister, and I am Jiaxue's senior master..."

Lin Chen blinked and obediently greeted, "Greetings, Senior Uncle!"

Chen Meifeng laughed and said, "Let each of you call each other what you want. My master, who is also the Lord of Penglai, is an equal to your master. Calling me 'Uncle-Master' is already a good deal for you."

Lin Chen chuckled and obediently changed his tune: "How could that be? Sect Leader Chen is joking."

Chen Meifeng smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I should thank you. If it weren't for you, this city would be gone, and many of my Penglai disciples would have perished in the jaws of the demonic beasts..."
