The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1292: Chapter 1292: Just Forget Worries, Quietly Wait for Fate with the Immortals

Carson Flores followed the elderly man into his house. In the courtyard, an old woman lay on a bamboo chair, seemingly dozing off.

Upon hearing the footsteps, the old woman opened her eyes, and her gaze fell on Carson Flores, sharp as a knife for a fleeting moment.

Carson Flores’s heart trembled; was she checking his condition?

He wasn’t too worried, though, because the cultivation technique he was using was taught to him by Delarosa when they parted.

”You possess the Wuxiang Devil Technique, capable of altering your appearance, enough to handle many situations. But your aura, your very bones of the sword—if you can’t hide them, a sweep of divine sense from others will lay bare all your secrets.”

”I will teach you a technique to conceal your internal condition. Even if the other person is an immortal, they may still not be able to see clearly inside you. You can disguise yourself to look like an ordinary cultivator.”

Before entering the island, Carson Flores had already employed the technique to hide his Sword Bone. There was no need to disguise his strength since playing the role of a middle-aged cultivator with initial-stage Hollow Void power was quite normal.

In these people’s eyes, the initial stage of Hollow Void wasn’t anything significant. Carson Flores aimed to appear ordinary, simply to hide his identity as the Human Emperor.

The Emperor Seal was also a point that could easily be discovered, but after entering the Hollow Void, the Emperor Seal recognized him more and more, especially since he quelled the great war between the Demon Race and the Human Race. The Emperor Seal had fully accepted him.

Now, he was able to store the Emperor Seal as his Life-bound Magic Treasure in his Sea of Consciousness, effectively concealing it.

The Emperor’s Sutra Heaven Scroll was still in the hands of his masters. Now, even if someone searched Carson Flores’s Space Ring, they might find some valuables, but they would not be able to determine his identity from them.

The old woman looked him over twice, her eyes becoming gentler as if the sharpness from the moment before was just an illusion of Carson Flores’s.

She turned her head to the other side, seemingly not intending to pay any attention to Carson Flores.

In the instant she turned her head, Carson Flores clearly saw a flash of disdain in her eyes.

Why did she disdain him?

The elderly man noticed this scene and said with a wry smile, ”Old lady, we have a guest, this is not right...”

The old woman ignored him, seemingly asleep.

The elderly man’s face was slightly embarrassed. He turned around and said, ”The old lady is used to being alone and doesn’t like to socialize. Young friend, don’t take it to heart.”

Carson Flores smiled and said, ”Senior, you’re too kind. It’s I who have disturbed you.”

The elderly man led Carson Flores through a passage to the backyard of the house.

”Please sit.”

On an antique Eight Immortals table in the backyard, the elderly man took out a tea stove, boiled water, and steeped tea.

The tea leaves were fresh and dripping with vitality, the fragrance floating around. The moment hot water met the tea, white steam rose, faintly forming the shape of a dragon, and the aroma intensified.

”Try this, Immortal Dragon Tea.”

Since arriving here, Carson Flores had been wary about everything, but since this cup of tea was brewed right in front of him, it was obviously impolite not to drink it.

Moreover, with the level of power Carson Flores displayed, if the other party really wanted to harm him, he would have no means to resist.

Carson Flores picked up the teacup, took a sip, and felt a pure flow of Immortal Spirit Qi surging into his body, providing immense comfort.

”Excellent tea!”

Carson Flores praised, ”I have never seen this tea before. Thank you, senior, for the kind offering.”

The elderly man smiled and said, ”This tea is grown in an environment where Immortal Spirit Qi is rich, full of Immortal Spirit Qi. Its production is not high. The Barbarian Wilderness is abundant in Spiritual Energy, but it lacks Immortal Spirit Qi, naturally, you won’t find it there.”

Feigning ignorance, Carson Flores asked, ”What is Immortal Spirit Qi?”

The elderly man smiled as he replied: ”Like Spiritual Energy, but of a higher quality. You can simply understand it as the type of Spiritual Energy that the ancestors in the Immortal Realm need for cultivation. This thing in the Immortal Realm is as common as the Spiritual Energy in the Barbarian Wilderness, but in the Barbarian Wilderness, it doesn’t exist.”

Having said this, an excited and eager Carson Flores immediately asked, ”Does this mean, senior, that you are an immortal? Or is it to say that everyone living on Mystical Immortal Island is an immortal?”

The elderly man chuckled and said: ”I don’t count as one. At best, I’m a Demi-Immortal. You see, I originally came from the Cultivators of the Barbarian Wilderness, just like you, only that I arrived here a few thousand years earlier.”

The elderly man paused then smiled, ”Most residents in Forget Worry Village are pretty much the same as me. Of course, the one who guided us to become Demi-Immortals, granting us extended lifespans, implies that Mystical Immortal Island indeed has immortals.”

An excited and anticipative Carson Flores asked, ”Where are the immortals? May I meet them?”

The elderly man, holding his teacup, leisurely took a sip, and with a smile said, ”Of course, but there’s no rush. Since you’ve come to Mystical Immortal Island, come to Forget Worry Village, then temporarily set aside the troubles and worries of the outside world, live here peacefully for a while, and quietly await the chance of immortality.”

The chance of immortality?

A thrilled Carson Flores replied, ”Senior, do you mean I can become immortal, ascend and become an immortal?”

The elderly man laughed and said, ”Everyone has their chance of immortality, but whether you can become an immortal depends on whether your destiny is sufficient. That, you’ll have to see for yourself...”
