Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 2131: Chapter 2128: Langya Pavilion (Part 1)

"When I met that senior, he was in a state of meditation, like a corpse, completely devoid of any presence. But it turned out I was wrong, he was practicing Xuanwu Meditation, deeply immersed."

"It’s very similar to the state Yun Tian was in just now, but also different. I could sense Yun Tian’s presence; his breathing and heartbeat hadn’t completely disappeared, whereas that senior’s heartbeat and breathing had completely vanished."

Lin Tian explained, recalling Mengluo Great Wizard, still feeling astonished.

Mr. Wang slightly closed his eyes, as if silently memorizing the cultivation technique texts, or perhaps pondering something, while Yun Tian looked at the scripture, seemingly gaining some insight.

"It’s so profound. This must be the supreme cultivation technique to comprehend life and death. Many things I couldn’t understand in my heart are now clear. Given time, I can definitely perfect the Silent Dried Wood Zen Technique." Mr. Wang was amazed, his eyes filled with great joy, the kind where one could die in peace after gaining enlightenment.

"Brother Tian, Miss, Xiao Tian, Second Miss, after reading the cultivation technique, I realize I need to continue cultivating; I’m afraid I can’t accompany you." Ghost clasped his fist resolutely.

He didn’t wait for Lin Tian and the others to respond, and went back to that protruding rock, sat down cross-legged, his presence gradually calming, finally disappearing, as if he had become a stone himself, melding with the stone, earth, trees, and rivers.

"Your disciple has great perception, let him be. I’ll personally take him to Langya Pavilion afterwards, you don’t need to wait for him." Mr. Wang nodded satisfactorily and then spoke to Lin Tian and the others.

"Then we shall take our leave first." Lin Tian also clasped his fist, bidding farewell to Mr. Wang, and the Miss and others each said their goodbyes, walking down from the summit.

Coming here, Lin Tian still hadn’t figured out Ghost’s strength, but that wasn’t important anymore. Ghost embarked on the path of cultivation, learning under Mr. Wang, limitless in potential. Even if he lost this time in the Ancient Martial competition, he could reclaim his honor in the future.

"Miss, where is Langya Pavilion?" Back at the manor, Lin Tian inquired.

"Tianlang Mountain, Tuzhong City, about a thousand kilometers from Jinghua City. I went there once with my master." Miss answered.

"Almost time to depart. By the way, does anyone have a free plane? It’s a bit far to drive." Lin Tian looked at the Xiao sisters and Yun Xiaotian.

The Xiao Family and Yun Family both have private jets, making travel very convenient, something Lin Tian often envied. Actually, he could afford a private jet now if he wanted, but being alone, it seemed unnecessary, and he couldn’t exactly fly to school — even owning a car felt extravagant.

"No need for that, Sister Yanan happens to be returning to Zhonghai City at eleven; her private jet route passes by Tuzhong City. I’ve already contacted her to give us a ride, dropping us off at Tuzhong City." Miss seemed to have predicted Lin Tian’s suggestion, calmly saying.

Lin Tian checked the time, briskly saying, "Go pack your things, we’re departing."

They each dispersed, heading to their respective quarters to collect their luggage. Lin Tian tended to travel light, taking a backpack, two outfits, and miscellaneous items, especially valuable treasures, always carrying them personally.

Importantly, this time they were heading to Langya Pavilion, a place for appraising treasures, bringing along some good items in hope of exchanging them for needed things like herbs. Since becoming a Pharmacist, the number of times he’d concocted medicine was few.

With his items in hand, Lin Tian was about to leave when An Xiaoru entered from the living room doorway, originally in high spirits; however, seeing the bag on his back immediately saddened her.

"Mr. Lin, are you leaving again?" An Xiaoru looked up at Lin Tian, her eyes holding an inexplicable emotion.

"Yes, what’s the matter? You look like you want to cry. Who bullied you? I’ll teach them a lesson." Lin Tian mimicked an aggressive stance.

An Xiaoru shook her head gently and said, "No one’s bullied me. Everyone at Yun Family treats the staff well. I just... can’t bear to see you go."

Her final words seemed to be delivered with great determination and effort, yet born from the heart. After speaking, the young girl bowed her head, her fair face tinged with faint blush.

Lin Tian patted her shoulder, comforting her, "We’re friends now; you can visit the school when you have time. By the way, I’m at Jinghua University."

"Can I really?" An Xiaoru brightened, her expression shifting from cloudy to sunny.

"Of course, you’re always welcome. If Xiao Tian dares not give you time off, tell me, I’ll spank her." Lin Tian gave a sunny smile, always having a fondness for these innocent souls.

An Xiaoru giggled, covering her mouth, "She’s already Second Miss, a girl, you can’t spank her."

"Don’t worry, I’ll spank Second Miss too, hahaha..." Lin Tian said unrestrainedly, laughing as he waved at the young girl before leaving with swagger.

An Xiaoru watched Lin Tian’s departing figure, her gaze slightly dreamy.

In another courtyard, the Xiao sisters were coming downstairs, and suddenly Xiao Manxuan stepped off a stair, almost stumbling. Once steadied, she puzzled, "Someone must be cursing me, I almost fell. It must be that brat Lin Tian."

A dozen minutes later, they gathered at the garage, seeing what each other was carrying, all were speechless.

"Are you moving houses? Such a big suitcase, each!" Lin Tian was exasperated seeing the three beauties, each tugging a large suitcase.

Even Miss was exasperated, "I knew you’d be lazy, bringing nothing. Luckily, we brought you a few outfits."

Alright, traveling light turns into laziness in the eyes of beauties, Lin Tian looked skyward silently questioning, indeed men and women’s brain structures entirely differ.

"Second Miss, the car is ready." Just then, a middle-aged man walked out from the garage, smiling.

With the Yun Family’s driver, Lin Tian naturally didn’t need to drive. Onboard a business car, they headed straight to the airport. Upon arrival, the timing was perfect; Song Yanan stood below the gangway, smilingly greeting Lin Tian and the others.

"Lin Tian, you’re quite lucky, traveling with three beauties." Song Yanan joked.

Traveling? Lin Tian was slightly startled, realizing Miss hadn’t revealed the real reason for going to Tuzhong City.

Quickly reacting, he replied with a smile, "It’s three beauties who are lucky to have such a handsome guy like me accompanying them."

Such narcissistic words were met with ladies rolling their eyes, but at least they boarded smoothly and the plane took off without a hitch.

Aboard the plane, Song Yanan warmly said, "Lin Tian, I heard from a friend in Tuzhong City that lately, Tuzhong has been strict; to avoid trouble, do you need me to introduce you to a guide and driver?"

Strict checks? Lin Tian was slightly taken aback, exchanging a look with Miss, both thinking of the same matter, Ancient Martial competition.

Such a grand event in the Ancient Martial World, attracting families, sects, and loose cultivators alike; perhaps the authorities issued some form of warning to martial artists: compete, but don’t misbehave.
