"Am I, Tian Linglong, some ordinary bodyguard? Ask them! Ma Buli and Guan Fei, for instance," Tian Linglong snorted.
"Of course not. You're a Saint Emperor powerhouse. Even a hundred million in gold couldn't secure your services. A few supreme-grade Immortal Stones are far too little," Ma Buli said.
"Exactly. To actually hire you, several dozen would be more like it," Guan Fei added.

Ma Buli and the others shuddered
