The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Snow Zane opened her eyes and looked at the man in the green robe in front of her, gently exhaling a breath.

”Master of Path!”

The man in the green robe appeared to be in his thirties, with a handsome and dignified presence. His face bore a gentle smile, giving off an inexplicable sense of closeness, yet his eyes were cold, carrying a sense of aloof detachment as if a Deity overlooking the mortal world. These two feelings appearing in one person seemed contradictory and bizarre.

The man in the green robe was indeed the ruler of the Ten Thousand Immortals Domain, the Ten Thousand Immortals Hall Master, the Quasi-Saint Master of Path!

Master of Path stared at Snow Zane’s face and said in a leisurely voice, ”Snow Zane, you turned out to be more formidable than your master, having entered the Quasi-Saint Realm.”

Snow Zane sneered, ”If you had known this earlier, would you regret not killing me back then, not cutting the weeds and eliminating the roots?”

Master of Path frowned, slowly shaking his head, ”You killed my disciples without any regard, forcing me to appear, so you must have discovered the truth from back then, right?”

Snow Zane said in a deep voice, ”Do you wish to deny it?”

Master of Path laughed freely, ”Why should I deny what I did myself? Let alone now, even back then, I never intended to hide it. It was your master who truly wanted to conceal the news...”

Snow Zane sneered, ”My master concealed it because she was worried you would lose all reason and attack us. To ensure our safety, she hid the truth!”

Master of Path straightforwardly admitted, ”Yes, indeed she was overthinking. I killed her because I needed to sever my desires, which was a path I had to take to enter the Quasi-Saint. You and I had no grudges; I had no reason to kill you.”

”As for you seeking revenge against me, that is only natural. I killed your master, so it’s only right to give you a chance to avenge her, as long as you’re willing to stake your lives.”

Master of Path spoke eloquently, his demeanor calm, his tone gentle, ”Your secret investigations, I’ve been aware of them for a long time, but I haven’t paid them any mind. To be honest, I already wronged her by killing her back then. If it weren’t for circumstances forcing me to this Realm, I wouldn’t want to kill you either, because you were the ones she valued most.”

”But I did underestimate you. I never thought you would enter the Quasi-Saint Realm and master the Path of Time. Since you’ve already acted against my Myriad Immortals Palace, naturally, I cannot let you live. Today, I’ll send you on your way.”

Snow Zane’s voice was icy, ”Wronged her? You surely have thick skin. Even if she didn’t like you, she always considered you a friend, yet you turned on her and killed her. Can you still call yourself human?”

Master of Path calmly replied, ”The previous me may have still been human, but do you think the current me still is?”

Snow Zane was momentarily speechless; when someone admits they’re not human, how can you continue to curse them?

”Fine, the Immortal Path is to defy the heavens, where the weak are prey to the strong. Today I shall duel you and settle this old score!”

Master of Path calmly stared at Snow Zane, ”Though you’ve entered the Quasi-Saint Realm, it was barely so, right? I’ve heard you appear very old ordinarily, that only when fighting with full power do you regain your breathtaking beauty. The forced elevation to Quasi-Saint must have come at a great cost, and fighting with Quasi-Saint strength surely carries severe side effects, doesn’t it?”

Master of Path revealed the truth at a glance, and Snow Zane was not surprised, only responding coldly, ”The side effects are indeed severe, but if I don’t care for my life, why not fight with all my might?”

Master of Path shook his head, lightly sighed, ”The gap between Quasi-Saint and Peak Great Land True Immortal is vast, like heaven and earth. Among the countless cultivators of the Ten Thousand Immortals Domain, only a handful can enter the Quasi-Saint Realm. Though you barely made it, it’s still a pity if you die like this.”

Snow Zane mockingly said, ”What, even at this stage, do you still want to recruit me?”

Master of Path smiled faintly, ”If you are willing to submit to me, I can spare your life, let bygones be bygones, and even give you a chance for revenge. Every thousand years, I grant you the opportunity to challenge me openly, and attempt to kill me, how about it?”

Snow Zane’s eyes widened. Even though she wanted to kill Master of Path, she couldn’t help but acknowledge his generosity and confidence in this offer.

This was absolute confidence in his own strength, and an intention to keep Snow Zane by his side as a whetstone, urging himself to keep moving forward.

Was Master of Path aiming to enter the Saint Realm?

Although this promise was generous and indeed beneficial to Snow Zane, she was unwilling to agree.

Swear loyalty to her enemy?

Impossible!

She would rather die!

Snow Zane coldly refused, ”Thank you for your kind offer. I know you’re very strong, I know I’m not your match, so in fact, I never thought of actually killing you...”

Master of Path’s face slightly darkened, as he already guessed Snow Zane’s intention.

Snow Zane locked eyes with Master of Path intensely, ”I know you’re bent on entering sainthood, willing to pay any price for cultivation. But what if I severely injure you and ruin your path to sainthood?”
