Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 2132: Chapter 2129: Langya Pavilion (Part 2)

Of course, the real reason for such strict investigations is known to only a few, even among officials, it’s not widely known. However, Ning Luoxi definitely knows about it.

Last time at the Tang City Sword Festival, Ning Luoxi was there, and quite a few troublemaking ninjas were caught. I wonder if she’ll show up this time.

Song Yanan saw Lin Tian not responding, and couldn’t help but say, "What? Doubting your Sister Yanan’s abilities?"

Lin Tian quickly waved his hand and laughed, "Sister Yanan is renowned, that’s beyond doubt. It’s just that we already have plans, it wouldn’t be right to trouble Sister Yanan further."

"Alright, you youngsters handle your affairs yourselves. I suppose the Yun Family and Xiao Family have some influence." Song Yanan didn’t mind.

"Sister Yanan is also young, a talented woman, with unparalleled skills and beauty. I remember when we first met, Lin Tian’s eyes lit up seeing you." Xiao Manxuan said with a smile, sweet-talking like it costs nothing.

The words made Song Yanan laugh charmingly, while the women chatted away happily, though Lin Tian felt wronged, wondering when his eyes ever lit up at her, although she is indeed beautiful.

The plane landed at Tuzhong City airport, and Lin Tian and the others bid farewell to Song Yanan, stepping outside the airport.

"I’ve already told Aunt Wang we’ll be coming today. She also said Langya Pavilion would send someone to pick us up. I wonder where they are?" Miss looked around and said softly.

"Oh? Such good treatment, Langya Pavilion even coming to meet us." Lin Tian raised his eyebrows, a bit surprised.

Miss rolled her eyes at him and said, "I naturally don’t have that much prestige. The only reason Langya Pavilion arranged for someone to pick us up is because you have the Jade Pendant from Ling Pavilion Master."

"Jade Pendant?" Lin Tian was startled for a moment, then he took out a jade pendant from his pocket. It was made of white jade, with a faint purple light inside, engraved with the words: Langya. The jade pendant was given by Ling Zishan, and that Pavilion Master said he could visit Langya Pavilion anytime.

Lin Tian felt that the Pavilion Master always looked at him differently, not because of his status as a pharmacist, nor because of his abilities, but with a naturally kind expression.

Perhaps, this is fate? Among the vast sea of people, there are always some whom you feel an instant connection with, although Lin Tian doesn’t quite believe in fate.

In the eyes of others, the powerful and mysterious Ling Zishan felt amiable and approachable to Lin Tian, as if only fate could explain it.

"Sister, did you arrange the wrong place, since nobody’s here? Lin Tian is an honored guest of Ling Pavilion Master, Langya Pavilion shouldn’t be late." Xiao Manxuan also peeked down the road, but aside from the parked cars, no one was seen approaching.

Just as Lin Tian was doubting this "honored guest" identity, a black SUV quickly drove over from afar, stopping with a screech in front of them.

The SUV was large and rugged, with an imposing presence, especially the big wheels complementing the black body, like a dormant beast, comparable to the Xiao family’s bulletproof car.

Such SUVs are men’s favorites, yet a young girl jumped out of the driver’s seat, about the same age as Xiao Manxuan, wearing a white dress embroidered with peculiar patterns at the collar.

"Miss Shuiyao." Miss was momentarily stunned, then cupped her fists in greeting.

The one who came to pick them up was none other than the headstrong Ling Shuiyao. The descendants of the Ling Family were indeed a bit quirky, making Lin Tian a bit headache, not knowing when the little girl might bring some "surprise."

However, Lin Tian was a bit surprised that Langya Pavilion would send her. Ling Shuiyao was always with Ling Zishan, which showed she was quite favored and had a high status in the Ling Family. Sending her to pick them up was a sign of great respect.

"Sister Xiao." Ling Shuiyao returned the courtesy. Though the young girl was headstrong and willful, she understood etiquette as a descendant of a prestigious family.

However, upon seeing Lin Tian, her gaze changed. Ling Shuiyao knew well that Lin Tian was a pharmacist, yet she showed no reverence, instead, her eyes sparkled with ideas, plotting something unexpected.

"Lin Tian, my aunt ordered me to pick you up, please." Ling Shuiyao mimicked a polite gesture, inviting him with her hand.

Lin Tian found it amusing and deliberately said, "If I’m not mistaken, before you left, Ling Pavilion Master must have reminded you to call me Mr. Lin, not by my given name."

"How did you know?" Ling Shuiyao exclaimed, looking surprised, but soon realized she had slipped up. However, she wasn’t afraid and boldly said, "We’re about the same age, so I won’t call you Mr. Lin."

Xiao Manxuan and Yun Xiaotian both laughed. They didn’t find Ling Shuiyao disrespectful, instead, they thought this peer was quite adorable and lacked the haughty air of a family descendant.

Lin Tian shook his head, choosing not to engage with her and prepared to get in the car. Unexpectedly, Ling Shuiyao blocked him.

"You drive." Ling Shuiyao looked at Lin Tian with conviction, "We’re all girls here, you’re the man, so shouldn’t you drive?"

Lin Tian remained calm and replied, "I don’t know where Langya Pavilion is."

"Don’t worry, I’ll tell you the way, just see if your reflexes are good enough, don’t take the wrong path." Ling Shuiyao’s eyes sparkled with a smile, more of a challenge.

Lin Tian smiled inwardly; indeed, the young girl was here for a "surprise," trying to test my driving skills? Hope you won’t be startled.

"Alright." Lin Tian agreed without hesitation and got into the driver’s seat.

This time, Ling Shuiyao was surprised, thinking he stayed so calm even knowing it was a provocation? Never mind, since my aunt always makes me call you "Mr.," I’ll let this "young mister" have a bit of hardship.

With these thoughts, Ling Shuiyao invited the Xiao sisters and Yun Xiaotian into the car, then climbed into the backseat herself. The vehicle was spacious enough. Once inside, she didn’t mention directions, continuing to chat with the other girls.

Lin Tian chuckled, starting the car without hesitation, paying no mind to the direction.

Ling Shuiyao glanced at Lin Tian, with a mischievous smile, yet she continued talking with Miss, laughing along and treating her far more kindly than she did Lin Tian.

"Sister Xiao, I’m really sorry about earlier. At the airport, I ran into some annoying people and got tangled up with them, so I was late. Please don’t tell my aunt, okay?" Ling Shuiyao gripped Miss’s hand, coquettishly pleading.

This sight left Lin Tian wide-eyed; was this the feisty princess of the Ling family? However, thinking about it, the young girl seemed well-disciplined by Pavilion Master Ling Zishan—otherwise, she wouldn’t be so afraid of her aunt learning about her tardiness.

"Shuiyao, who did you encounter that was so annoying? With your skills, what was there to fear?" Xiao Manxuan curiously asked. The two were the same age and naturally got along well.

"People from the Situ family, especially that Situ Ruoling. I almost got into a fight with her at the airport." Ling Shuiyao glared, looking quite upset.
