The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2640: Chapter 2640: With Norric Covering You, Who Would Dare Touch You?

Having finalized the Red Contract, the gaze of White Jade Star Lord once again fell on Carson Flores.

"Carson, work hard on your cultivation. If you encounter trouble, you can come to Norric’s War God Mansion in the Crimson Immortal Domain for a short time. I should be here for a while and won’t leave before the war ends."

Norric!

Upon hearing another familiar name, Carson’s eyes brightened instantly: "Thank you, senior... Is Senior Norric doing well?"

As soon as Carson spoke, everyone around him simultaneously focused their gaze on him, looking surprised.

White Jade Star Lord asked in surprise, "Do you know Norric?"

Carson explained, "Senior Norric once sealed a Starry Sky Magical Beast. I rescued that Starry Sky Magical Beast and had a conversation with the senior. He even left me a Sword Talisman to teach me the Way of the Sword Talisman..."

White Jade Star Lord showed an expression of surprise: "You indeed have deep fortune connections. Without having been to two places, you already know so many people. The Starry Sky Magical Beast that Norric sealed, you let it go; why did he still teach you the Way of the Sword Talisman?"

Carson explained, "Senior Norric might be capable of divination or calculation? He said I was Crimson Mad, oh, that’s the Starry Sky Magical Beast’s destined one, and teaching me some things was to prepare for the future, but he didn’t specify how exactly."

"As for rescuing Crimson Mad, although Senior Norric suppressed it, he never intended to kill it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have waited for me to save it; he just wanted to give it a punishment. After I rescued Crimson Mad, it even reached an agreement with the senior to send the sword back to him."

Observing Carson, White Jade Star Lord’s gaze became a bit nuanced: "The title of Norric Shepherd owes much to his ability to forecast the future; if he says that, there is inevitably a reason. If you have free time in the coming days, you can visit the Crimson Immortal Domain."

A thought struck Carson’s mind. This White Jade Star Lord is reportedly a Disciple of the Immortal Emperor. Now, as the great battle hasn’t yet started, he received orders from the Immortal Emperor to go to the Crimson Immortal Domain, meaning the Crimson Immortal Domain will become a gathering point for many powerful individuals from the entire Immortal Realm.

If you want to find out how to use The Mirror of Elemental Harmony or help Delarosa investigate matters about her previous master, this might be a good opportunity.

Having prior connections with both White Jade Star Lord and Norric, it seems like he would have some protection, and shouldn’t be bullied.

As for the battlefield?

Back when Carson was still a mortal, he roamed freely on the battlefield, bearing no fear of it. Moreover, the battlefield also allows rapid growth and is likewise a Land of Fortune for cultivators.

Because of the matter involving Snow Zane, the grudge between himself and the Myriad Immortals Palace was irreconcilable. Even though in the eyes of the Master of Path, he’s just a small fry, if the Master finds out Carson is not dead and has played him, who’s to say he won’t feel tricked and order Carson’s demise.

In this case, going to the Crimson Immortal Domain and seeking development elsewhere would also be a decent consideration.

Thoughts sorted out in just a second, Carson quickly clasped his hands and said, "Alright, senior. I have some personal matters to handle first. Once I’m done, I will definitely come to the Crimson Immortal Domain. Please look after me when the time comes!"

White Jade Star Lord chuckled, "Crimson Immortal Domain is Norric’s territory. Since he’s taken a liking to you and considering your relationship through the art, who dares to trouble you? You can roam freely there."

Carson smiled and said, "That’s excellent. I’ve provoked the Myriad Immortals Palace and might have to seek refuge in the Crimson Immortal Domain."

White Jade Stark raised an eyebrow, "Isn’t your disciple part of the Myriad Immortals Palace? How did you come to have a grudge with them?"

Carson replied, "My disciple is my disciple, and I am myself. It’s a personal affair, not involving each other."

Beside him, the Holy Thief Varric Combs pointed at Snow Zane on the ground and chuckled, "The Master of Path practices the Heartless Art. In order to become a Quasi-Saint, he needed to eradicate heart desires. Her master was a woman the Master always liked but could never pursue, probably a bit of a Heart Demon formed there, so the Master killed her master. She risked everything, paying a great price to become a Quasi-Saint, preparing to kill the Master for her master as revenge..."

Varric Combs pointed at Carson, "She met Carson and forced him to join the cause. Carson sympathized with her plight and agreed with her revenge, so he stayed by her side. Even though his power wasn’t much, and he didn’t take action against the Myriad Immortals Palace, due to Snow Zane’s cause, they naturally want to kill Carson."

Varric Combs then pointed at himself, "During their duel, I was just standing by, watching. The Master of Path was utterly shameless, two against one. I couldn’t stand it, so I intervened, stole the Skyreach Sect Quasi-Saint Cyrveth McCarty’s life-bound magical treasure, and rescued this woman from the Master’s surveillance, so now all of us are people the Master wants dead..."

White Cloud Star Lord’s face showed an amused expression, "Stealing someone’s life-bound magical treasure is a mortal enemy deed; aren’t you afraid of getting caught?"

Varric Combs laughed boisterously, his tone arrogant and pleased: "I am the Saint of Thieves; as long as I don’t want to be caught, who can capture me?"
