The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1769: Chapter 1769: This Is Your Reward, You Deserve It

Just as Carson Flores was secretly stunned, the middle-aged man seemed to realize something and focused his gaze on Carson.

”I’ve been so happy to see you and talked so much that I forgot there’s someone else here listening...”

The middle-aged man’s eyes were quite profound. Although his face carried a smile, the undertone of his gentle words made Carson secretly curse in his heart.

This is truly dog-like!

What do you mean by forgetting someone else is here?

You just asked about my background and my relation to the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas, and now you’re pretending not to know?

Is it that as long as the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas says ’I also forgot he was here’, you’ll find an excuse like ’these things can’t be leaked’ to eliminate me?

The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas did not turn around, and replied nonchalantly: ”If he heard, he heard, it’s no big deal, after all, you’re not from the Heavenly Alliance, so what are you afraid of?”

The middle-aged man smiled slightly: ”Since you say it’s no big deal, then it really isn’t.”

Carson’s heart finally settled down, though he was slightly surprised.

This middle-aged man is not from the Heavenly Alliance?

Considering how deeply he understands matters regarding the Heavenly Alliance, Carson had assumed he was a senior member, but he’s not?

Carson couldn’t figure out the man’s identity at all.

The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas seemed disinterested in continuing the conversation and nodded towards Carson: ”Go ahead and prepare, let him advance, and settle this matter.”

The middle-aged man chuckled, stopped refusing, and stood up with a smile: ”Alright, I’ve got all the materials. Setting up a formation won’t take long; you can have tea here while I work on it. I’ll call you when I’m done.”

The middle-aged man swiftly left the cave mansion, and the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas turned his head to look at Carson: ”Is there anything you’d like to say?”

Carson smiled wryly: ”Although I am somewhat confused, you talked about being enemies with the Celestial Palace right in front of me. Aren’t you afraid I’ll report this?”

The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas stared at Carson: ”Will you?”

Although Carson was sure the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas wouldn’t kill him, he straightforwardly responded: ”I will keep it secret, like a closed bottle. Do you need me to swear an oath?”

The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas shook his head lightly: ”Even if you did tell, it wouldn’t matter, it has little impact on me.”

Carson curiously asked: ”From what you all said earlier, you don’t seem to want to be an enemy of the Celestial Palace?”

The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas replied calmly: ”I have no intention of being enemies with anyone.”

Carson added: ”Is it just that we’re in the Jianghu and can’t control our destinies?”

”In the Jianghu, we can’t control our destinies?”

The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas murmured: ”That statement is quite apt.”

Carson thought for a moment, probing: ”Senior Sister, from the sect master’s words, it seems your position in the Heavenly Alliance is quite special, and you are well... looked after by the Alliance Hierarch?”

Carson hesitated for a moment before choosing a neutral term to avoid angering the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas.

The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas glanced at Carson and replied indifferently: ”That’s not something you need to know or care about. Once the formation is set up, focus on advancing. Once you complete your advancement, my promise will be fulfilled, and you can leave.”

Seeing that he could not pry into the Heavenly Alliance’s secrets, Carson quickly let go and changed the topic to his promotion: ”A formation?”

The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas answered: ”He is an Array Master, able to use formations to help you break through and advance.”

Carson was startled, able to advance from Earth Immortal to True Immortal just by setting up a formation?

How come Carson had never heard of such a thing before?

Even in the Celestial Palace, even senior figures like Daniel Patel possess no such technique, or even heard of it, yet this sect master can do it.

Who exactly is this sect master?

He’s not from the Heavenly Alliance, he’s familiar with the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas, he should know the Heavenly Alliance Hierarch too, and he is very clear about the relationship between the Heavenly Alliance Hierarch and the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas...

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Carson’s mind, wasn’t it said that the Heavenly Alliance Hierarch comes from the High Immortal Realm?

High Immortal Realm!

Could it be possible that the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas, the Heavenly Alliance Hierarch, and the leader of the Mountain of Ten Thousand Serpents all come from a certain power in the High Immortal Realm, which is why they are familiar with each other?

These thoughts flashed through Carson’s mind like lightning, while on the surface he looked shocked: ”Isn’t it amazing that a formation can help someone break through from Earth Immortal to True Immortal? Doesn’t that mean there are no bottlenecks?”

The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas replied: ”This formation requires a very special material, which is very rare even in the High Immortal Realm, so it’s not available to just anyone. If not for him owing me a favor, he wouldn’t have agreed easily.”

”Of course, because you’re only an Earth Immortal, the cost is relatively small. If you were a Golden Immortal trying to advance to Heavenly Immortal, the cost would be significant, and few sects in the entire Thunder Immortal Realm could afford it.”

The materials come from the High Immortal Realm!

The words of the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas confirmed Carson’s guess!

Carson gratefully said: ”Senior Sister, thank you so much. If it weren’t for your help, I wouldn’t know how long I’d be stuck at this bottleneck!”

The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas remained calm: ”No need to thank me, it’s your reward, you deserve it!”
