The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2379: Chapter 2379: It’s Not Fair for You to Bear Everything Alone!

Carson Flores frowned, turning to look at Lilianna Norman: ”Noran, this matter I...”

Carson didn’t finish his sentence before Lilianna Norman smiled slightly: ”If I join the Sea God Sect, I can achieve a high position and receive ample cultivation resources and guidance. With the innate characteristic of my Innate Taoist Body without bottlenecks, I would surely benefit greatly.”

”The Sea God Sect is omnipresent in the North Sea. Even if I join, I think I will still have time to frequently return home.”

Malvian Randall’s eyes lit up. He initially mentioned it casually, not taking it seriously, but he didn’t expect Lilianna Norman to engage proactively.

He couldn’t fathom what Floating Cloud saw in Carson Flores; he was more inclined to believe Floating Cloud liked Carson not for his personality, because in his view, Lilianna Norman with her Innate Taoist Body surely had more future prospects than Carson.

”If Fellow Noran truly wishes to join, our sect will undoubtedly offer you a satisfactory position and treatment, ensuring your power will significantly enhance in a short time, and even surpass mine.”

”Rest assured, although I’m the Saint Heir, that’s because others are unsuitable. It doesn’t mean I enjoy being the Saint Heir. If one day you surpass me and replace me as the Saintess of the Sea God Sect, I’ll only be happy, because then I’ll have fewer responsibilities and more time for things I enjoy.”

Malvian Randall’s words both emphasized the Sea God Sect’s appreciation for Lilianna Norman and her promising future upon joining, potentially even replacing him, additionally expressing he doesn’t mind, even hopes she can achieve it.

Carson Flores glanced at Lilianna Norman but didn’t discuss it with her on the spot; instead, he looked at Malvian Randall: ”Thank you for the invitation, Saint Heir. My wife and I still need to discuss this matter; consider this a favor we owe to the Saint Heir. Whether or not we join the Sea God Sect, if the Saint Heir truly loses because of the Sea Tide Pearl, we will certainly provide an explanation.”

Malvian Randall smiled: ”Fellow Flores, you’re too polite. Lending the Sea Tide Pearl was my willing decision, and I didn’t cut off or hinder midway, which is the result I willingly took. You really don’t owe me a favor. As for my invitation for you to join the Sea God Sect, that’s purely because of your extraordinary talents, wanting you to join us as pillars of the sect, unrelated to the Sea Tide Pearl matter, not needing to be linked.”

This remark instantly resolved the matter.

Despite Malvian Randall repeatedly stating they owe him no favor, Carson Flores still feels indebted, and the rest is about personal conduct and dealings.

If Malvian Randall spoke the truth, then regardless of victory or defeat, he wouldn’t mind today’s events, as indeed as he said, he had the ability to prevent it, but he didn’t. Furthermore, absorbing the spiritual power of the Sea Tide Pearl wasn’t Lilianna Norman’s intention; it’s not her fault.

Carson Flores acts, only asking his own heart.

Since he feels indebted, he must find a way to repay it.

Although favors vary in size and are the hardest to repay, as long as one lives with them in mind, there’s always an opportunity to repay.

There’s no need to entangle oneself over a favor, especially since joining the Sea God Sect means others invest vast resources in you, enhancing your cultivation; once you want to leave, it’s almost impossible.

Certainly, Lilianna Norman’s words aren’t wrong either: with her Innate Taoist Body’s talents joining the Sea God Sect, if directly placed in a high position using Will-Power Cultivation, her realm would undoubtedly soar.

This matter is merely a measure of gain versus cost.

Malvian Randall gracefully took his leave, Carson Flores escorted him to the door, shut it, and returned to the room.

Lilianna Norman smiled wryly: ”I brought trouble to everyone.”

Now everyone is family; they share both blessings and misfortunes, hence Lilianna Norman’s comment.

Carson Flores laughed: ”What kind of trouble is that? Advancing through an abnormal phenomenon is so rare. Although it comes with some costs, isn’t that very normal? Even in cultivation, you need abundant cultivation resources; there’s no free lunch in this world.”

Lilianna Norman, without waiting for Carson Flores to discuss joining the sect, spoke up: ”If he truly loses because of the Sea Tide Pearl, I’ll join the Sea God Sect to repay this favor.”

Carson Flores frowned: ”The Sea God Sect is strong; joining brings great benefits but is easy to enter and hard to exit.”

Lilianna Norman laughed: ”If my strength hasn’t reached freedom in the Sea God Sect, then talking about freedom is a joke. But if I’m strong enough, wanting freedom is freedom.”

”Now that everyone is settled in the North Sea, although the island has many protections, we still have to walk outside. If I join the Sea God Sect, on one hand, I can rapidly enhance my strength; on the other hand, on this North Sea territory, I can also provide protection for everyone.”

Carson Flores stared into Lilianna Norman’s eyes: ”Do you really want to go?”

Lilianna Norman earnestly said: ”Even if it’s not the Sea God Sect, I want to find another way; it’s unfair solely relying on you, Carson, considering how many cultivation resources we need collectively, and the demand only grows.”
