The Beautiful CEO's Close Bodyguard

Chapter 673: Chapter 0675: Really Boring

Chu Ge glanced sideways at Lin Dong, his tone slightly serious, and said, "If you want to practice ancient martial arts for longevity, then you better not practice it at all."

Lin Dong was taken aback, looking puzzled at Chu Ge. noveldrama

Chu Ge didn’t really mean to get angry. His tone softened as he continued; "The cultivation of ancient martial arts is firstly for strengthening the body, and secondly for pursuing a higher realm. However, ancient martial arts are filled with too many dangers; you may lose your life any day. Relying on ancient martial arts for longevity is the most impractical idea."

Chu Ge’s gaze drifted into the distance, his voice somewhat ethereal, as if he was speaking to Lin Dong and also reminding himself.

Lin Dong, half-understanding, was not as thoroughly knowledgeable about ancient martial arts as Chu Ge, nor did he have a deep understanding or higher realms. In other words, he was merely a commoner constantly hustling for money.

Lin Dong gave Chu Ge a deep look and remained silent.

Thus, the two drove back to the villa, after which Lin Dong took his own car home.

Watching Lin Dong’s departing figure, Chu Ge felt a twinge of doubt in his heart. He wasn’t sure whether his decision was right, given Lin Dong’s young age.

He still has a long path ahead of him, so Chu Ge did not insist on Lin Dong learning ancient martial arts.

He stared ahead for a while until Lin Dong’s figure disappeared. Then he collected himself and turned towards the villa.

As he reached the entrance of the villa and saw the door open, Chu Ge slightly raised his eyebrows, seemingly aware of who was inside.

Indeed, upon opening the door, he saw Nangong Man Sha leaning comfortably on the sofa. Hearing someone enter, she said with a smile, "Mr. Chu, I’ve been waiting here for nearly three hours."

Chu Ge and Lin Dong had left early for the Farmer’s Market. Excluding the travel time, it had indeed been about three hours.

He walked over to Nangong Man Sha and sat down, asking, "Miss Man Sha, what brings you here? Is there something important?"

Nangong Man Sha nodded and pulled a blue invitation out of her bag, handing it to Chu Ge, "Recently our Nangong Family is hosting an event that I think Mr. Chu would definitely be interested in attending."

Chu Ge quirked an eyebrow, casually asking, "A summit?"

Nangong Man Sha, surprised, her bright eyes shimmering, her red lips curving up slightly, asked, "Mr. Chu, you know about the summit?"

Chu Ge gently nodded, "I heard about it a few days ago."

Nangong Man Sha apologized, "I’m sorry, Mr. Chu. The organization of the summit is crucial both for the Nangong Family and the ancient martial arts industry, so it has been kept confidential without prior public announcement..."

Chu Ge raised his hand gently, stopping her from continuing, "It’s okay. You don’t need to blame yourself, and such a summit isn’t of much use to me personally."

The summit is held among different sects, and since he was an individual with no sect, even if he attended, it wouldn’t be very useful. Moreover, with Elder Jian attending, if there was any important matter, he would surely come back and inform him.

Thinking of Jian Chunqiu, Chu Ge looked around but didn’t see him. He asked, "Did you come here alone?"

Nangong Man Sha followed Chu Ge’s gaze then nodded, "Yes, it’s just me. Why, Mr. Chu, have you hidden any beauty in a golden house?"

Chu Ge coughed lightly, "Miss Man Sha jests."

Chu Ge picked up the invitation to glance at it. The invitation was exquisitely made; the cover was blue with an ancient-style landscape painting. Upon a closer look, the painting was integrated into the paper itself, and the craftsmanship was very sophisticated.

Feeling the embossed texture, Chu Ge could tell it was a grand gesture.

Thinking about the invitation Elder Jian had brought back, he asked, "Is there something special about this invitation?"

Nangong Man Sha was slightly startled, although unsure why Chu Ge would ask this, she couldn’t help but explain, "Yes, on the back of the invitation is our Nangong Family’s emblem, made with special pigments and impossible to replicate outside. This design aims to prevent counterfeiting."

Chu Ge curved his lips, "Your Nangong Family’s preventive measures are quite strong."

Mentioning this, a sense of pride appeared on Nangong Man Sha’s face. She smiled proudly, "Naturally. But this also involves the rigor and security of the summit; we must be careful."

Suddenly, a sneeze came from upstairs, startling Nangong Man Sha.

Could it be that Chu Ge really had hidden a beauty in a golden house?

Nangong Man Sha sharply raised her eyes and saw a white figure at the top of the stairs, who apologetically looked at the two people in the living room and cheekily said, "Continue, continue; just pretend I don’t exist."

Elder Jian had been hiding here for a long time, eavesdropping on Chu Ge and Nangong Man Sha’s conversation. But watching the pair discuss nothing juicy was incredibly frustrating for him.

He couldn’t resist sneezing due to an itchy nose.

Nangong Man Sha was slightly stunned, "Elder Jian?"

She looked at Jian Chunqiu somewhat surprised, "How come you are here?"

Jian Chunqiu chuckled, sitting down in the living room. Both of them were acting so formally that it would be inappropriate for him to suspect anything between them.

"Girl, what kind of question is that? Why can’t I be here?"

Nangong Man Sha looked helplessly at Jian Chunqiu, clarifying, "I’m not saying you can’t be here, but asking how you happen to be here. When did you come to the Capital City?"

Nangong Man Sha and Jian Chunqiu had only met for a day in Su City. Although briefly acquainted, Nangong Man Sha had a good impression of him.

Jian Chunqiu also thought well of Nangong Man Sha. He always believed Chu Ge and Nangong Man Sha were suitable for each other, but Chu Ge, being in a fortunate position, was oblivious to her affections.

"I just arrived a few days ago," Jian Chunqiu explained, "The summit is about to start soon, so I came over early to also wander around the Capital City."

Nangong Man Sha couldn’t help but tease, "So you were so sure the summit would invite you?"

Jian Chunqiu’s eyebrows slightly lifted, and he confidently smiled, "I have that confidence, given the significant influence of Sword Pavilion in the ancient martial arts realm, right?"

Nangong Man Sha pursed her lips, really unamusing.
