The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

White Jade Star Lord turned around, smiling at Carson Flores, his gaze not sharp, but Carson felt as though all his secrets had been seen through.

”Your Sword Bone is impressive, no wonder you could parry that strike that day. It’s a pity you gave the opportunity to your disciple...”

Carson chuckled and explained, ”That opportunity originally belonged to my disciple. Because of the Secret Realm Map from the Palace of Seven Beauties, her entire family was slaughtered. I happened to save her and accompanied her in the adventure, as I wanted to help her without any greed. Besides, she sacrificed herself to save me; as her mentor, I couldn’t covet my disciple’s opportunity.”

White Jade Star Lord nodded in appreciation, ”That’s also why I admired you the most back then. Good people are not scarce, but being able to resist the temptation of achieving greatness, even becoming a Great Land Immortal, in your power stage, is rare indeed.”

Carson modestly replied, ”You’re too kind, Senior.”

White Cloud Star Lord asked, ”What realm are you in now?”

Carson answered, ”Superior Grade Great Land Supreme Immortal.”

White Jade Star Lord said smilingly, ”Though you possess Sword Bone, your inherent talent is not particularly high, and you have no strong background. Yet through your own efforts and opportunities, you have promoted to your current strength in such a short time, which is commendable.”

Carson responded, ”It might be because I’ve been lucky to meet many benefactors along the way.”

White Jade Star Lord asked, ”How did you come to know the Saint of Thieves?”

Carson earnestly recounted how he got to know Lucas White, to which White Jade Star Lord smiled after listening, ”Everything is fate. You said before you arrived, you were appointed as sect leader; what’s the story there?”

Carson narrated the encounter with the Demon Race in the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain, resulting in White Jade Star Lord’s surprised expression: ”We were told by Norric about the Demon Race’s emergence in Bitter Sea Immortal Domain, and you were mentioned. But he didn’t say the name; I didn’t expect it was you who established great merit.”

Carson laughed, ”I just happened to come across it; the real defeat of the Demon Race leader was by the Quasi-Saints in Bitter Sea Immortal Domain. I merely contributed to delivering the message at best.”

White Jade Star Lord disagreed, ”The first time you destroyed their altar and disrupted the teleportation array was significant; otherwise, the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain would have fallen into the Demon Race’s hands. Even if discovered early and fought bloodily to reclaim, the whole domain would have been completely ruined.”

”Perhaps initially Norric foresaw something upon meeting you, which led to inviting you to the Crimson Immortal Domain, and then encountering the Demon Race...”

Carson curiously asked, ”If the Hall Master knew the secrets of heaven and could predict the future, couldn’t he foresee the Demon Race’s invasion of Bitter Sea Immortal Domain?”

White Jade Star Lord smiled, ”Predicting the future only reveals fragmented information; it’s impossible to have a complete, clear prediction. If it were that easy, many things would be simple, wouldn’t they?”

After a pause, White Jade Star Lord answered Carson’s previous question, ”The Saint of Thieves has been here for a while. However, due to his unique skills, Norric commissioned him to handle a special matter, so he might not return soon.”

Carson acknowledged with a hint of disappointment in his heart, for he was somewhat familiar with the Saint of Thieves. If he were here, Carson would have another pillar of support.

White Jade Star Lord observed Carson, ”Do you have any difficulties in your cultivation currently? Feel free to mention them, and let’s see if I can assist you.”

Carson thought it over, shook his head, ”Since I achieved merit in Bitter Sea Immortal Domain, the Book Sea Pavilion rewarded me with abundant cultivation resources; I’m lacking time rather than resources.”

White Jade Star Lord nodded, ”You are quite young to be placed in such a chaotic scene like the Immortal Demon War, which is indeed difficult. However, war only judges victory or defeat and ignores whether you are young.”

”Once the war begins, the Spirit Ascension Array will be activated. If you accrue sufficient battle merits, you can enter for cultivation, accelerating your progress. However, the Spirit Ascension Array can only enhance power and cannot assist in breakthroughs; those rely on oneself.”

Carson agreed, ”My natural aptitude is ordinary. My first intention in coming here is to contribute. Secondly, I hope to find some opportunities to enhance myself.”

White Jade Star Lord looked at Carson with satisfaction, ”Since you have no major difficulties in cultivation, then I have nothing else to assist you with. If you wish to lend a hand, it wouldn’t be fair for you to anticipate in vain, correct?”

With a wave of his hand, White Jade Star Lord sent a White Jade Token flying to Carson, ”This is the White Jade Token, considered my token, representing me. If you encounter any bullying here, you can show it. It includes a communication formation, allowing you to contact me.”
