The Beautiful CEO's Close Bodyguard

Chapter 1679: Chapter 1665

When it came to these matters, Chu Ge had never felt he had any say, so he kept silent all along. At a time like this, it was better not to talk too much.

Jian Chunqiu rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "No wonder Nangong Yunxi’s prophecies all came true. That explains it."

Lin Dong looked at him in confusion. He still couldn’t figure it out. What did Nangong Yunxi, the current Wufeng Palace’s Palace Master, have to do with the present chaos in time and space?

"Master, did you find something out? Something to do with Nangong Yunxi?"

Lin Dong suddenly thought of something. His eyes widened in shock as he stared at Jian Chunqiu and asked.

Jian Chunqiu had been silent the whole time. Hearing his question, he finally lifted his gaze to him and said, "That’s right, I did find out some things about the Palace Master of Wufeng Palace. All the recent events, big and small, are connected to the Palace Master of Wufeng Palace."

He paused, picked up his tea and took a sip. A flicker of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it quickly faded and he returned to normal. The taste of the tea was a bit unfamiliar, but the brewing technique was excellent.

Lin Dong looked at him with even greater curiosity and asked, "Master, what things? Is it that all of this is actually being manipulated by the Palace Master of Wufeng Palace?"

Jian Chunqiu nodded. "Back then, the chaos in time and space was tied to Wufeng Palace. Now that the turmoil of time and space is playing out again, it’s hard not to associate it with Wufeng Palace. So I went to investigate, and as expected, the results were exactly as I anticipated."

It was just that he hadn’t expected the Palace Master of Wufeng Palace to actually be Nangong Yunxi. This boy who was rumored by the outside world to be autistic, on him it was as if a mystery had taken shape, and that mystery was only growing larger.

Right on cue, someone knocked on the door from outside. Lin Dong got up to open it and saw Long Ang standing there. He was a bit puzzled. "Long Ang? What’s up?"

Long Ang’s expression was anxious. He blurted out, "This is bad, Ming Chong suddenly went berserk."

Ever since Chu Ge disappeared, the Chu Ge in front of him was not the Chu Ge Ming Chong knew, so her mood had never been particularly high.

But fortunately she’d been quite obedient, hadn’t caused any big trouble, and hadn’t made things difficult for them. Yet this morning, for some unknown reason, she suddenly became irritable.

When Jian Chunqiu heard that, he shot to his feet. The others also stood up quickly, all looking at Jian Chunqiu.

The group went together to the bar and saw that the place had already been smashed to a wreck by Ming Chong. Fortunately it wasn’t opening hours yet, so there were no customers inside.

When they arrived, Ming Chong was still smashing things. Jian Chunqiu’s face looked rather grim. He had just started forward when Ming Chong suddenly hurled a glass in his direction.

He used his True Qi to knock the glass back mid-flight. With a crack, it shattered on the floor not far from his feet, scattering shards of glass everywhere.

Ming Chong’s eyes were blood-red. The ferocity in her expression made it seem as if she didn’t recognize them at all.

Lin Dong asked in puzzlement, "Wasn’t she still fine this morning? How did she become like this? Did something set her off?"

As he spoke, Lin Dong glanced at Long Ang. Long Ang shook his head. "No, nothing provoked her. She just suddenly turned like this."

Long Ang thought back and said, "This morning when we came, Ming Chong was still very happy, playing in the room for a while, even taking the initiative to give me food. But less than ten minutes later, she suddenly became irritable. No one came during that time. I checked every corner of the room and didn’t find anything unusual."

Lin Dong was even more baffled. He scratched his head. "Ming Chong’s temperament has always been very stable. She can’t just suddenly change like this."

When Ming Chong saw that so many people had suddenly arrived, the dangerous aura in her eyes grew even thicker. She glared at Jian Chunqiu and the others with a vicious look, her fingers revealing sharp tips. Jian Chunqiu noticed that her irises had already turned crimson.

"Ming Chong, what’s wrong with you?"

Lin Dong asked as he tried to approach, but Ming Chong let out an angry roar at him. The hostility radiating from her grew even heavier.

When Ming Chong was enraged, she couldn’t speak human language. She could only roar hoarsely, as if that was the only way to drive off the "enemies."

Lin Dong abruptly halted and took a step back, looking at Jian Chunqiu in confusion. "Master, what do we do now?"

"Ming Chong isn’t human. Her temperament changes along with shifts in her surrounding environment."

Chu Ge spoke up then, his tone calm. "The reason Ming Chong suddenly became irritable is because she’s sensed that the deep winter is coming. If I’m not mistaken, for a non-human like Ming Chong, deep winter should be extremely painful."

Everyone looked at Chu Ge in astonishment, their eyes full of shock and surprise. Chu Ge wasn’t from their time and space, and no one had told him Ming Chong’s true identity, yet how did he know all this?

Even they, who were natives of this timeline, didn’t know.

Chu Ge smiled faintly. "Actually, I didn’t know any of this at first either. I only learned it later, after looking into some information."

Chu Ge was not someone who couldn’t fit in. If he wanted to integrate with them, he had to make some changes, and those changes started with understanding their way of life.

He remembered Lin Dong mentioning before that Ming Chong was some kind of Divine Beast. After spending time with her these past days, he also came to understand some aspects of Ming Chong’s temperament.

So if he wanted to know these things, all he needed was to put in a little effort. It really wasn’t that hard.

"Chu Ge, I didn’t expect you to actually know this stuff."

Lin Dong slung an arm over his shoulder admiringly and clicked his tongue. "I’m seriously more and more impressed by you."

Ye Chen did know Ming Chong’s identity, but he had only heard Jian Chunqiu mention it once by chance. Seeing her now, he couldn’t help feeling a bit surprised.

He knew that Ming Chong’s identity was the Sword Soul of the Demon Sword. But there was one thing he didn’t understand. He stepped forward and looked at Jian Chunqiu in confusion, asking, "Master, if a Sword Soul leaves the Demon Sword for too long, will it really not have any impact?"

The Sword Soul and the sword body were originally one. If they were separated for too long, wouldn’t the Sword Soul disappear?

Jian Chunqiu shook his head lightly. "No. The two are one, but once separated they’re also two different existences. Fusing together, they’re stronger; without fusion, there won’t be any other mishaps either."

Ye Chen nodded. He shoved his hands into his pockets, the corners of his brows lifting slightly. Looked at this way, this Ming Chong seemed all the more interesting.

Long Ang saw that everyone was just standing there while Ming Chong was still furiously smashing things. Worried, he asked, "Elder Jian, letting Ming Chong carry on like this isn’t a solution."

Not to mention whether it would affect the customers, just the way she was rampaging, sooner or later she’d end up hurting herself.

"Go turn the heating all the way up."

Without waiting for Jian Chunqiu to speak, Chu Ge spoke again.

Long Ang stayed where he was, turning a questioning gaze toward Jian Chunqiu, as if seeking confirmation.

Jian Chunqiu nodded. "Do as he says."
