The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2267: Chapter 2267: What’s There to Say About a Defeated Foe?

”Who are you? And who are those three Great Land Immortals above?”

Carson Flores smiled faintly, ”Do you want to hear the truth, or a lie?”

The elderly voice seemed a bit surprised and curiously asked, ”What if it’s the truth? What if it’s the lie?”

Carson answered, ”Those three belong to three competing Immortal Sects within one region. The most powerful in the Sect is a Great Land Immortal, that’s the truth. As for me...”

”If you want to hear a lie, then I am a servant of the Grand Void, specifically dispatched here to guard the Harmony Spring. That’s the identity I told those three outside.”

”If you want to hear the truth, then I’m sorry. I am actually just a loose cultivator from a small place, relying on a bit of luck and help from benefactors to gradually reach the present.

The elderly voice seemed a bit amazed, ”A loose cultivator, I reckon you aren’t even a hundred years old, right?”

Carson laughed, ”To say I’m a loose cultivator isn’t exactly accurate. My master in the Mortal Realm, in terms of cultivator strength, is estimated to be only at the Qi Cultivation Stage. My sect in the Barbaric Wilderness Realm, my master is at the Hollow Void Stage. In the Thunder Immortal Realm, the most powerful in my sect may be my master whom I’ve never met, a Great Land Immortal. I don’t know the extent of his strength. As for the strongest in the Sect, it is an Early Celestial Immortal. Now that I’ve come to the Ten Thousand Immortals Domain, I have no sect and no backing, so I call myself a loose cultivator...”

The elderly voice contained two more parts of surprise, ”It seems you indeed have some luck. Before advancing to Great Land, you already possess the Doppelganger Divine Ability. I suppose those three outside didn’t see that you are an incarnation, right?”

Carson grinned, ”Senior has keen eyes, certainly beyond ordinary people.”

The elderly voice laughed, ”There’s much time. Why not tell your story? I’ve stayed here too long, haven’t chatted with anyone for ages.”

Carson sat cross-legged in mid-air and started telling his story.

The owner of this sword and the Grand Void are acquaintances. The Grand Void is unwilling to help or invite cause and effect, indicating that the sword’s owner is not easily provoked and possibly very strong, even potentially not weaker than the Grand Void.

The unknown life-form pierced through by the Giant Sword must be less powerful than the sword’s owner, but wouldn’t be weak either. After all, it fought the opponent into such a state and ultimately changed the whole world by its own power. Such an existence couldn’t be weak.

Through interacting with Delarosa, Floating Cloud, Grand Void, and others, Carson realized that the way they viewed people differs entirely from common cultivators.

They all possessed extraordinary strength and had seen too many gifted individuals and too many powerful beings. Such people appear incredibly ordinary in their eyes, whereas someone as unremarkable as himself seems ”interesting” in their eyes.

The Grand Void didn’t save this formidable life-form. Carson wondered if it would resent the Grand Void, so being considered the Grand Void’s servant might not be reliable. Perhaps the other party might hate by association.

Carson didn’t know what the other side wanted from him. But regardless of how, he had to eliminate any potential threats first.

If the other party considers him a loose cultivator, with low strength and no background, incapable of accomplishing the tasks given, he could just leave, even flee for his life. If they overlook his strength due to his inherent abilities, then his ”interesting” identity as a loose cultivator might become an advantage.

Currently, it seems the other side is quite interested in him?

Carson concealed certain things that might provoke the other’s curiosity, such as The Mirror of Elemental Harmony, and shared a rough version of his story.

The elderly voice curiously remarked, ”You deceived them, yet they treat you as an honored guest?”

Carson shrugged, ”If I didn’t say so, they would have probably kept pursuing me.”

The elderly voice laughed heartily, ”A little Heavenly Immortal actually fooled three Great Land Immortals into running circles. You indeed have some guts...”

Carson retorted, ”Senior, I’ve shared my story. It’s about time you shared yours. I’m completely in the dark about you.”

The elderly voice snorted, ”Just a defeated opponent, what’s there to tell?”

Carson chuckled, ”It seems I don’t belong to your ranks, senior. In that case, I’ll take my leave. If senior needs, I can invite the three above down here. They are Great Land Immortals; surely they are more capable of helping you.”

The elderly voice seemed a bit surprised at Carson’s voluntary withdrawal, ”You risked your life rushing down here, not for a possible adventure but just to hear a story? Didn’t even ask what I need you to do before deciding to leave?”

Carson smiled, ”Senior, with your earth-shattering power still trapped here, my meager strength is akin to an ant compared to yours. I might not be able to help you. Furthermore, I’m unaware of who senior is or why you’re restrained here. Even if I accidentally have the ability to help, I wouldn’t dare. Otherwise, if I aid you, senior turns around and wipes me out, wouldn’t I take a big loss?”
