The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Carson Flores arrived at the Spring God Palace three months later.

In between, Carson had used the teleportation gates between several major cities; otherwise, it would have taken even longer.

As Carson landed at the Spring God Palace gate, a cultivator approached cautiously, looking at Carson: ”Who goes there?”

Carson took out the token from Grand Void Mountain: ”Carson Flores, from Grand Void Mountain.”

Carson revealed his identity directly to avoid any misunderstanding, considering that by now, Spring God Palace should have been annihilated as a warning to others.

The disciple’s eyes glanced at the token briefly, and instantly his demeanor softened: ”Oh, a fellow from Grand Void Mountain, I am a disciple of Book Sea Pavilion. The Palace Master of Spring God Palace colluded with the Demon Race and betrayed the Immortal Realm, and has been hunted down by Book Sea Pavilion. Spring God Palace is completely under investigation now. Fellow, what brings you here?”

Carson responded, ”I’m looking for someone, the disciple of Spring God Palace’s Palace Master Mordyn Jandric... Could you take me to meet the person in charge here?”

”This way, please!”

The Grand Void Mountain token was very effective; Carson didn’t even have to wait. He was led straight into the Spring God Palace.

Inside the Spring God Palace, chaos reigned, with people bustling back and forth tirelessly.

After all, Spring God Palace was a top-tier noble family with countless disciples. Even with Book Sea Pavilion’s orders, several Great Sects joined forces to thoroughly suppress Spring God Palace, but there was still much to deal with afterward.

Carson was led to a large hall where a crowd of immortals was casually chatting. Judging by their attire, they belonged to multiple forces and were likely dispatched by Book Sea Pavilion.

Seeing Carson enter, the group turned, their gazes landing on him.

Carson politely greeted, ”Carson Flores, from Grand Void Mountain, greetings to all fellow cultivators!”

”Carson Flores?”

A middle-aged woman’s eyes lit up: ”Are you the one who uncovered the Demon Race’s plot and destroyed their teleportation array?”

Carson sighed in relief; if they already knew, he wouldn’t need to be interrogated.

”Indeed, it’s me. Have you all heard of this?”

As Carson admitted, everyone’s eyes on him became even more enthusiastic.

”No wonder True Sage Grand Void values this talent. Such strength, such fortune—undeniable!”

”So young, venturing alone into the Mist World set by the Demon Race, not only retreating unscathed but destroying their altar in front of a Quasi-Saint. Not something just anyone could accomplish!”

”And more importantly, he’s faced the Demon Clan Quasi-Saint not once, but thrice, retreating each time unscathed. Which among us can claim such confidence?”

”The first time could be said to be unexpected, but to retreat twice again with such deep hatred, even managing to kill that Demon Clan Quasi-Saint—astounding, the youth is truly formidable!”

The crowd buzzed with admiration, praises flowing abundantly.

”Fellow Flores, which sect are you a disciple of?”

Carson smiled: ”I’m from the Ten Thousand Immortals Domain, passing through the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain to visit the True Sage and handling some personal matters. As for my sect, I’m currently just a loose cultivator.”

The crowd was even more surprised—loose cultivator?

A loose cultivator accomplishing such feats?

The middle-aged woman asked, ”Fellow Flores, do you intend to join Grand Void Mountain and become True Sage Grand Void’s disciple?”

Carson shook his head: ”No, by chance I became acquainted with the True Sage, receiving his care. I’m here to pay my respects and express gratitude; I’ll be leaving afterwards. Fellow Ward was very kind and helpful, if not for him giving me the Grand Void Order and coming to my rescue twice, I probably wouldn’t be alive.”

The middle-aged woman, who seemed quite esteemed among the group, laughed: ”Fellow Flores, you are humble. Anyway, it was you who uncovered their conspiracy. Otherwise, by the time we realized it, the Demon Race’s army might have already been at our gates.”

Carson humbly replied: ”It’s all luck. I can only say that Providence still favors us in the Immortal Realm, going round in circles, never allowing the Demon Race’s plan to succeed!”

The middle-aged woman, seeing Carson’s humility, regarded him with increasing admiration: ”Fellow Ward specifically mentioned that you are searching for a disciple of Mordyn Jandric?”

Carson nodded, ”Yes, her name is Lucindra Lam. Is she here?”

The middle-aged woman turned and instructed: ”Go check.”

”Yes!”

A disciple standing at the entrance immediately turned and left, and the middle-aged woman smiled: ”Knowing this young hero is looking for someone, all of Mordyn Jandric’s captured disciples are being held and haven’t been dealt with yet.”

Carson bowed: ”Thank you all very much!”

”A minor affair, it’s nothing noteworthy.”

The middle-aged woman chuckled: ”First let’s see if the person you’re searching for is here. If not, we’ll send someone to help you find her. Even if it’s like searching for a needle in a haystack, we’ll certainly fish her out...”
