Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1494 - 1491: Just as Expected, Only Two

"Xiao Tian, don’t underestimate the Situ family’s Qixue Sword. Although it’s slightly inferior to the Purple Lightning and Qingshuang, its sharpness is enough to break through your Ancient Body Technique. Be cautious if you ever encounter the Qixue Sword in the future." Wang Wanxi noticed Lin Tian was absent-minded and offered a reminder, expressing considerable concern in her words.

"Alright, got it." Lin Tian replied, honestly speaking, even without the reminder, he would be careful himself. The zombie body isn’t invincible; getting injured is nothing much, just a bit of suffering. But if it cuts the lifeblood, that wouldn’t be a joke.

"Are you cultivating the Ancient Body Technique?" Ling Zishan asked somewhat surprised.

"Uh, sort of, does the Pavilion Master have any questions?" Lin Tian replied vaguely. Actually, Ning Luoxi is the one cultivating the Ancient Body Technique. As for himself, after a series of misunderstandings, he couldn’t explain and there’s no way to clarify now. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Ling Zishan seemed to be lost in thought for a moment before saying, "It’s nothing, it’s just that the Ancient Body Technique has been lost for ages. Unexpectedly, seeing the inheritance again today, if I remember correctly, you’re the second Ancient Body Technique Practitioner I’ve seen."

Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, smiling slightly, "Could the Pavilion Master be referring to Ning Luoxi?"

"Exactly, it seems you know her. You two are the only Ancient Body Technique Practitioners in the Ancient Martial World," Ling Zishan laughed.

The only two? Okay, sounds quite awkward, indeed very silly, Lin Tian thought speechlessly. In truth, Ning Luoxi is the only one.

However, he was somewhat puzzled why the Female Instructor didn’t appear tonight. With her realm and spiritual sense, she should have sensed someone achieving Innate. Could she be on another mission, or has she left Tang City?

"Lin Tian, let’s go." Wang Wanxi nudged him, reminding him.

Lin Tian looked up and noticed Tang Ziqing had already descended the stairs. He glanced back at the hole above, his eyes narrowing slightly, a trace of danger flashing deep within.

When the four reached outside Qingshuang Pavilion, the business car was still waiting at the door, driven by Shen Danxi. The Outer Pavilion Female Disciple saw the four getting in the car, her expression was filled with uncertainty, yet she dared not ask.

Shen Danxi had been waiting outside the ruins, even with her lower realm, being so close to the Nine-story Pagoda, she could feel the anomaly inside.

But she didn’t know what transpired inside the ruins. When the pagoda experienced an anomaly, the majestic aura enveloped her, rendering her unable to muster the courage to investigate.

Lin Tian and the others didn’t say anything, so Shen Danxi drove the car silently back to Qinglan Garden.

Returning to Qinglan Garden, it was past midnight. The three Goddesses got out of the car first, heading towards the gate. Shen Danxi watched them walk off, suddenly called out to Lin Tian, who was getting out.

"Mr. Lin Tian..." Shen Danxi subconsciously called his name directly but quickly added the honorific, she asked cautiously, "Did someone achieve Innate inside the pagoda?"

"Yes." Lin Tian responded ambiguously.

Shen Danxi hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Do you know who achieved Innate?"

Among those who first entered the Qingshuang Pavilion Ruins were four people. She already knew Tang Ziqing and Ling Zishan were Innate Experts, so naturally, her speculation turned to Lin Tian and Wang Wanxi.

This matter would eventually be known, so Lin Tian didn’t intend to hide it and straightforwardly said, "Wang, from the Wang Family, Wang Wanxi. Manager Shen must have guessed at least partially, right?"

"Indeed, it seems the Nine Reversals Marrow Changing Pill has reached Miss Wang. I wonder what relationship Miss Wang has with the Pharmacist?" Shen Danxi exclaimed, then began muttering to herself.

"No need to guess, Manager Shen. Now that you’re here, I will fulfill our previous transaction and hand you the item." Lin Tian took an ancient wooden token from his pocket and handed it to Shen Danxi.

A few days ago, Lin Tian made a deal with her, asking her to help relay information to Langya Pavilion, with the reward being the Qinglan Garden’s Token. Lin Tian no longer needed this token, and since that old granny Tang Banqing didn’t care, it was of good use now.

Shen Danxi’s eyes lit up, her joyful expression was evident, but she didn’t immediately take it, "Really give it to me? This is the Qinglan Garden’s Token, capable of commanding Outer Pavilion Disciples."

Capable of commanding Outer Pavilion Disciples? Lin Tian smiled faintly, indifferent, if the token still had a use, it would be to command Xiao Manxue, since she is also an Outer Pavilion Disciple. Just unsure if that domineering, proud Miss would comply?

Hmm, commanding Miss to do laundry, cook, and additionally sleep together, perhaps even perform a pole dance, sounds delightful. At that time, what would the little girl’s reaction be? Lin Tian thought shamelessly.

Noticing Lin Tian’s strange expression, Shen Danxi pretended to cough twice, reminding Lin Tian she hadn’t answered the question yet.

Lin Tian quickly adjusted his expression, replied solemnly, "Take it, take it. I’m not interested in commanding Outer Pavilion Disciples." But inwardly added, unless it’s Xiao Manxue.

Shen Danxi was overjoyed and promptly accepted the token, her respectful gesture as if the token weighed heavily.

Lin Tian shook his head, put down the token, and turned to leave, only taking a few steps when Shen Danxi’s voice sounded behind him.

"Mr. Lin Tian, may I boldly ask, are you that Pharmacist?"

From the start, Shen Danxi had never seen Lin Tian’s transformation, not knowing what the jade bottle contained initially. It was until recent events that led her to this bold speculation.

"Yes." Lin Tian admitted his identity without hesitation.

He didn’t know, but this "Yes" almost made Shen Danxi drop the token. Staring at Lin Tian’s youthful back, her expression varied, shock, disbelief, fear, unease... all emotions were present.

She had once troubled Lin Tian, hence the fear, whereas Lin Tian seemed too young for a Pharmacist. But the facts were evident, everything that occurred recently confirmed her speculation.

"Mr. Lin..." Shen Danxi stuttered, trembling a bit, wanted to say something but couldn’t, remembering the difficulty she caused before the gorge’s iron cable, her legs grew weak.

Words once spoken echoed clearly, astonishingly she said a Pharmacist wasn’t qualified, thinking about it made her want to slap herself.

No need to look, Lin Tian could guess Shen Danxi’s current expression and mood. Yet he felt no satisfaction of revenge, only said lightly, "I am still Lin Tian, understand?"

Finishing, he ignored the proud Outer Pavilion Female Disciple, walked towards Qinglan Garden.

Until Lin Tian reached the entrance, Shen Danxi snapped out of it, quickly said, "Mr. Lin, rest assured, I won’t mention your matter to a third person."

When she looked up again, Lin Tian was gone, and fine, cold sweat formed on her forehead. As the night wind blew, she shivered involuntarily.
