"Are you here to hire security guards and bodyguards, or to cause trouble?" The pretty girl thought for a moment and asked when she saw Lin Yun looking over.

"Try to cause trouble?" Lin Yun was surprised, wondering why the girl asked that.

"Your skills are impressive. Most martial arts families and sects wouldn't be able to train a disciple like you. If you have a powerful martial arts sect or family behind you, would you need to come to our Golden Sword Security Company to recruit security guards and bodyguards?" the pretty girl said, frowning.

"You might have misunderstood. I've been practicing martial arts at a very ordinary martial arts school near my home since I was a child. I don't have any powerful sects or families behind me. I'm here today because I genuinely want to recruit some security guards and bodyguards," Lin Yun said, shaking his head.

He had heard his master mention martial arts sects and families occasionally, but his master didn't explain in detail. He only told him to be careful when he encountered such people and not to offend them easily.

"Hmph, then I'll fight you." The pretty girl snorted, seemingly not believing Lin Yun's words.

As soon as she finished speaking, she jumped onto the ring.

"You?" Lin Yun frowned slightly.

The other person looks a few years younger than him, and is a pretty girl. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for the two of them to fight?

"What? Do you look down on women?" Seeing Lin Yun frown, the pretty girl gave another dissatisfied snort and said.

“No…” Lin Yun waved his hand.

He certainly didn't look down on women. He knew that there were skilled women among them. This time, he planned to recruit a few female bodyguards to make it easier to protect Xia Qingqing.

He just felt that the other person was too young, and a very beautiful girl with slender wrists and fair, delicate skin. She didn't seem like the kind of person who could endure hardship...

After the battle just now, he estimated that his current strength should surpass that of most martial artists in the mid-stage of Ming Jin.

His master said that he had a great talent for martial arts. He broke through to the middle stage of Ming Jin at the age of eighteen. If he continued to practice, he was expected to break through to the late stage of Ming Jin before the age of twenty-eight. If he had a master to guide him, he might even have a chance to break through to the An Jin realm in his lifetime.

Those with hidden strength are all renowned figures in their respective regions.

Although he hadn't practiced martial arts much in the past five years, by sheer chance, his current strength is no less than what he had diligently practiced during those five years, and may even be higher.

This girl looks to be only about twenty years old. Even if she is a martial arts practitioner, what level could she have reached?

This girl seems to have a high status at Golden Sword Security Company, and he's worried about hurting her; that wouldn't be good.

"I've made my move—"

However, before Lin Yun could say anything, the pretty girl spoke and made her move, grabbing at Lin Yun's shoulder with one hand.

Seeing this, Lin Yun had no choice but to fight the girl.

Lin Yun reached out to block the girl's attack, but quickly realized that her grab was just a feint. In the blink of an eye, she attacked him from the side at a very tricky angle. He was startled and quickly changed his move to meet the girl's attack.

"Bang--"

The next moment, their palms touched.

Lin Yun couldn't help but take several steps back, utterly shocked.

He knew he had underestimated her; this girl was incredibly strong, even surpassing the A-level bodyguard he had just fought.

At this moment, Lin Yun dared not be careless anymore.

"Bang—bang—bang—"

The two fought very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they had already exchanged blows dozens of times.

Lin Yun was prepared and no longer rushed into fighting the girl as he had at the beginning. However, many people could see that Lin Yun had already fallen into a disadvantageous position, and if the fight continued like this, Lin Yun would most likely lose.

"The young lady actually gained the upper hand in her fight against this person..."

"The young lady's strength has increased again..."

"We're doomed. If the young lady challenges us to sparring again, this will be terrible..."

"Do you think this young man is hiding his true strength...?"

Many onlookers watched the battle unfold and whispered amongst themselves.

"Okay, that's enough."

About ten minutes later, the girl seized an opportunity, jumped back out of the battle, and said in a clear voice.

Lin Yun was already struggling to defend himself, so when he saw his opponent stop, he naturally stopped attacking.

“Strange, you seem to be only at the mid-stage of Ming Jin, but your strength far surpasses that of an average mid-stage Ming Jin…” On the arena, the pretty girl frowned, thought for a moment, and then said.

Lin Yun smiled wryly; he dared not underestimate this girl in the slightest.

He sighed inwardly, thinking that this Golden Sword Security Company was truly full of hidden talents. This girl, at such a young age, had already reached the late stage of Ming Jin.

Yes, after the battle just now, he was quite certain that this girl had already reached the late stage of Ming Jin.

Since a wisp of spiritual energy was born in his mind, his senses have become extremely sharp, and he is certain that his senses are not wrong.

If his master saw this, I really don't know what he would think.

Back then, his master said that if he reached the late stage of Ming Jin at the age of twenty-eight, he would be very powerful. If he had a wise teacher to guide him, he might be able to reach the An Jin realm in his lifetime.

This girl looks to be only about twenty years old, yet she has already reached the late stage of Ming Jin (明劲). Doesn't that mean her talent far surpasses his? If she had a master to guide her, she might easily break through to the An Jin (暗劲) realm!

Lin Yun was well aware that although the other party had only reached the late stage of Ming Jin eight years earlier than him, the difference represented by that was huge.

Because the golden age for martial artists is from about sixteen to thirty-five years old. If one reaches a high level by thirty-five, it's good that the golden period can be extended for a few more years. If the level is not high, then the achievements afterward will be limited.

A martial artist only has about twenty years of prime time. This means that this girl, who is more talented than him, has eight more years of prime time. This is of great significance.

"I don't recognize your martial arts skills. Are you really not from any martial arts family or sect?" After a pause, the pretty girl asked curiously.

It turns out that her earlier duel with Lin Yun was also a way of testing Lin Yun's background.

"No, I've heard of martial arts families and sects, but I've never encountered one," Lin Yun said, shaking his head.

"Pfft—" The pretty girl couldn't help but laugh; she found Lin Yun's words quite amusing.

That smile instantly enhanced the girl's beauty, and the entire floor seemed much brighter.

Most of the employees at Jinjian Security Company are men, and many of them were stunned when they saw this scene.

Normally, they were afraid of this girl. On the one hand, she was too beautiful and skilled, which made them admire her. On the other hand, she was too skilled and always defeated them badly in their fights.

Being constantly beaten up by the girl you admire is not a pleasant feeling.

On the other hand, this girl did indeed have a very high status, which instilled a deep sense of awe in them.

All of these factors combined made Jinjian Security Company largely afraid of this girl.

Actually, saying it was fear is a bit of an exaggeration; it was more of a sense of respect—respect for a goddess, and respect for a girl's identity.

"Ahem, I am Lin Mengmeng, a disciple of the Golden Sword Sect. What is your name?" the pretty girl cleared her throat and asked.

"Golden Sword Sect?" Lin Yun was taken aback.

Could it be that the other party is a disciple of a legendary martial arts sect?

"Golden Sword Security Company is an asset of our sect." Seeing Lin Yun's stunned expression, Lin Mengmeng smiled even more broadly.

“Um… okay… my name is Lin Yun…” Lin Yun said with a wry smile.

Seeing this, many people around couldn't help but glance at Lin Mengmeng.

They knew there was something Lin Mengmeng hadn't said.

That is, Lin Mengmeng is not only a disciple of the Golden Sword Sect, but also the only daughter of the sect leader.

That's why they call her "Young Miss".

"Lin Yun? We actually share the same surname?" Lin Mengmeng exclaimed in surprise.

"Well, with your amazing skills, you actually want to hire security guards and bodyguards for our company. As a disciple of the Golden Sword Sect, I have to be responsible for the employees of our company. So, would you mind telling me what you plan to do after you hire our employees?" Lin Mengmeng paused and then said.
