Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1541 - 1538: Identity Shock

Tang Ziqing’s three streams of sword light flew towards Lin Tian, but at this moment, he couldn’t afford to care, his figure twisted strangely, turning towards the direction of Xiao Manxue.

"Miss..." Lin Tian gently supported Xiao Manxue, anxiously calling out, completely ignoring the two Innate Experts with swords pointed at him from behind.

Now, as long as Tang Ziqing and Tang Muling released their sword light, they could easily harm Lin Tian, but seeing Xiao Manxue’s condition, they slowly lowered their longswords.

"Lin Tian, what’s wrong with Manxue?" Tang Ziqing stepped forward, asking with concern, a rare show of worry from this usually aloof master.

"Anxiety attacking the heart, mental and physical exhaustion, chaotic True Qi, quick, I need a quiet place!" Lin Tian couldn’t care less that Qingshuang Pavilion was an enemy just moments ago, shouting without looking back.

Tang Ziqing hadn’t replied yet, but Master Tang stood up and said, "There’s no time to lose, come with me."

Lin Tian didn’t hesitate, holding Xiao Manxue in his arms and heading towards Master Tang. He knew Qingshuang Pavilion wouldn’t easily let him go, but as long as he could save Miss, he’d charge into a dragon’s lair, and he had even broken into the Netherworld before, let alone a Qingshuang Pavilion.

"Lin Tian, let go of Manxue. If someone is to save her, it should be me. On what grounds are you holding my fiancée!" Situ Yufeng angrily shouted before they had walked a few steps.

"Scram!" Lin Tian didn’t look back, nor did he slow his pace, leaving only the word "scram" for him.

To hold someone else’s fiancée in public was already something, but to be told to "scram" in public, how could one from the distinguished Situ family endure such humiliation?

He paused, charging towards Lin Tian, his figure flashing, blocking Lin Tian’s path.

"Hand over Manxue to me!" Situ Yufeng coldly commanded.

"Lin Tian, Yufeng’s demand is reasonable. Who do you think you are to Miss Xiao? Haven’t you heard that men and women should keep a proper distance?" Situ Ming deliberately raised his voice so everyone present could hear.

He intended to place the Situ family on the right side, gaining the support of the Ancient Martial Artists, thus pressuring Lin Tian, since in the Ancient Martial World, most martial artists still respected tradition, and just now Master Tang had announced the Qingshuang Pavilion and the Situ family’s alliance through marriage.

After his instigation, indeed, many Ancient Martial Artists started whispering, feeling that Lin Tian holding Miss did not seem appropriate, but at this moment, they only considered reputation, yet who thought of saving a life as the first priority?

With one hand holding Xiao Manxue, Lin Tian raised his hand to reveal the gold line on his wrist, coldly saying, "The mark of the Ghost Valley Inheritor is here, who dares to say they have a better qualification to save? If not, then scram for me!"

"The gold line..." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"The Ghost Valley Inheritor has come into the world to travel?"

"So young, yet the Ghost Valley Inheritor..."

...

The emergence of the gold line immediately intimidated the Ancient Martial Artists. Those who knew the gold line naturally understood its significance, knowing what it represented, it was a symbol of outstanding medical skills. Lin Tian’s claim was not arrogant; with the Ghost Valley Inheritor present, others indeed could step aside.

Situ Yufeng and Situ Ming did not expect Lin Tian to have such an identity. Although Lin Tian had just defeated Ji Zimo, in the eyes of these aristocratic families, he was just a slightly stronger ant, because personal strength, no matter how great, couldn’t surpass an entire aristocratic family of Ancient Martial, let alone a family with a heritage spanning hundreds and thousands of years.

But the Ghost Valley Inheritor was different; that was a person who inherited the miraculous medical arts of Gui Guzi. Gui Guzi was an immortal-like figure. In historical medical circles, he didn’t have the fame of renowned doctors like Hua Tuo or Bian Que, because in many aspects, Gui Guzi was too exceptional, too legendary, to the extent that his medical skills were overshadowed by his other dazzling achievements.

But without a doubt, his medical skills were also legendary. The emergence of each generation of Ghost Valley Inheritors would leave behind many mysterious legends. But until now, no one knew the origin of the Ghost Valley Inheritors. Some say they pass down through a single line, while others say they originate from a powerful alliance of healers.

Some even say they come from an even more reclusive family than the Ancient Martial families, more hidden, more mysterious; only a very few in Huaxia know the existence of such families.

No matter what the rumors were, the identity of the Ghost Valley Inheritor stunned these Ancient Martial Artists. If they knew that Lin Tian also had the identity of a Pharmacist, who knows if it wouldn’t cause a commotion.

Situ Yufeng was stunned. By the time he came to himself, Lin Tian had already walked past him.

"Haha, they are already shocked with the Ghost Valley Inheritor’s identity. If they knew Lin Tian is a Pharmacist, wouldn’t their eyes pop out?" Ling Shuiyao hummed softly with pride, as if Lin Tian had something to do with her, sharing in the glory.

Ling Zishan glanced at her and shook her head helplessly: "For now, don’t reveal the identity of a Pharmacist. Lin Tian doesn’t want others to know, so he must have his reasons."

"Alright, alright, just that Lin Tian is so young, yet already an Ancient Martial Expert, a Ghost Valley Inheritor, and even a Pharmacist. Is he a genius? I don’t think calling him a genius is enough." Ling Shuiyao seemed a bit frustrated, unable to comprehend.

Ling Zishan said nothing more to her and exchanged a glance with Wang Wanxi, then got up to follow Lin Tian’s direction. Ling Shuiyao hurriedly followed after. The Situ family, though looking displeased, also followed.

The others looked at each other in dismay. A fierce battle had ended like this, but everyone knew the drama was far from over, and no one was willing to leave, with disciples of Qingshuang Pavilion guiding them to other places for accommodation.

Lin Tian, carrying Xiao Manxue, followed Master Tang to a pavilion in front. The two entered the pavilion, while Tang Ziqing and Tang Muling did not go in. Ling Zishan and the others looked at the pavilion but did not enter either.

Situ Ming, who came afterwards, hesitated and dared not rashly enter. It was Situ Yufeng who wanted to follow but was stopped by both Tang Ziqing and Tang Muling.

"I am Manxue’s fiancé, why am I not allowed to enter?" Situ Yufeng frowned, feeling that his marriage union object being held in another man’s arms was, regardless of the marriage’s purpose, a very embarrassing situation.

"This is the Pavilion Master’s place of cultivation. Without the Pavilion Master’s permission, no one can enter," Tang Ziqing said coldly, not being polite to this future son-in-law of the Qingshuang Pavilion.

"Why can Lin Tian enter?" Situ Yufeng complained, trying to find a reason to go in.

This time, Tang Muling replied to him, speaking more directly and unceremoniously: "Lin Tian is the Ghost Valley Inheritor, who are you?"

"Yufeng, don’t be anxious. With Master Tang there, Lin Tian wouldn’t dare do anything to Little Xiao," Situ Ming said, his eyes flashing, consoling. However, in his heart, he was already dissatisfied with Qingshuang Pavilion’s attitude, but to achieve their purpose, he had to pretend to be magnanimous.

But he was dumbfounded as he just finished speaking, for Master Tang had come out alone, meaning Lin Tian and Xiao Manxue were left alone inside the pavilion.
