Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1544 - 1541: Would You Be Willing?

Xiao Manxue is now resorting to desperate measures, but Lin Tian is clear-headed, spelling out the stakes to her.

"Miss, you won’t think I’m slandering the Situ family just because I have a grudge against them, will you?" Lin Tian asked when she didn’t respond.

"Don’t I know you, you rascal? You’re the type to act rather than talk, and I believe these are your true words." Xiao Manxue raised her head, glared at him, and said.

Lin Tian smiled helplessly and shamelessly said, "Anyway, I’ll take that as a compliment."

"But I’m really out of options. If practicing the Mystic Ice Blue Record doesn’t help, I honestly don’t know how to eliminate the foreign energy inside Xuanxuan." Xiao Manxue wasn’t smiling; rather, she was filled with worry.

Lin Tian lightly patted her shoulder, seriously said, "If you trust me, give me some time, and I will find a way to cure Xuanxuan."

"You?" Xiao Manxue was stunned, and then she remembered Lin Tian’s identity as a Pharmacist and couldn’t help but say, "I know you know medicine and you’re a Pharmacist, but it’s not a matter of believing you; Xuanxuan doesn’t have time to wait. If the foreign energy isn’t neutralized in time, she might... not survive college."

Upon saying this, the usually strong Miss nearly shed tears. For some reason, only in front of Lin Tian could she drop all her defenses and let out her emotions.

Thinking for a moment, Lin Tian said, "Miss, to be honest with you, I already have a prescription to cure Xuanxuan and have found some of the medicinal herbs."

He has currently found the bloodlines of Nu Ba, Houqing, and Blood Clan; what remains are the bloodlines of Jiang Chen and Ying Gou, and most importantly, the medicinal cauldron, Shennong Ding.

Moreover, there is a lead on the Jiang Chen bloodline, which is Xu Feibai. Although Xu Feibai is also elusive, at least there’s a direction, but as for Ying Gou and the Shennong Ding, there’s no clue yet.

Xiao Manxue looked at Lin Tian with surprise and said after a while, "Is it true what you’re saying? What is the method?"

"Well... I can’t tell you the specifics because I promised someone to keep this secret for now." Lin Tian thought for a moment and remembered Zhang Lingyu’s instructions, and still didn’t tell Miss the details.

"Besides you, me, and Master, was Zhang Lingyu present that day? If I’m not mistaken, the person you promised is Zhang Lingyu?" Xiao Manxue slightly raised her eyebrows, half guessing and half confidently said.

At this moment, with raised eyebrows, Xiao Manxue seemed to Lin Tian like the calm and wise female president she once was. Being able to quickly guess it’s Zhang Lingyu, frankly, Lin Tian admired Xiao Manxue’s responsiveness and insight. She truly lived up to being a female president who fought her way through the business world.

Lin Tian nodded in agreement and said, "You guessed right; it is indeed Zhang Lingyu, and the prescription was provided by her. You know, she comes from the mysterious Demon Exorcism Family, so it’s not surprising to have such a peculiar prescription, but she instructed that the details should not be known to a third party for now."

"I remember, recently when you went to England with me, aside from helping Rossi find his relatives, were you also looking for materials for the prescription?" Xiao Manxue recalled the recent events and couldn’t help but be surprised.

"Sort of, and the trip to England was very rewarding. Before, I felt it was difficult to gather all the materials, but the harvest in England gave me great confidence, and I am confident about finding the remaining materials." Lin Tian said solemnly.

Even Houqing hidden deep under a sea eye was found by him. Finding others isn’t impossible either.

"I trust you!" Xiao Manxue nodded affirmatively, but then her expression turned a bit awkward. "If I invalidate the Mystic Ice Blue Record, I certainly can’t marry Situ Yufeng, but the marriage with the Situ family has been announced to the world, how will this end?"

Speaking about the marriage alliance, Xiao Manxue secretly glanced at Lin Tian, afraid he might be angry.

"I thought you two were in love, besides, Situ Yufeng is quite handsome." Lin Tian intentionally said with a smile.

"You’re the one who’s in love with him, and besides, he’s not as handsome as you." The little girl gave Lin Tian a fierce glare, hurriedly defended herself, but her voice inadvertently lowered at the end, her cheeks blushing slightly.

"Ahem, how about this, you still marry Situ Yufeng." Lin Tian pretended to cough twice and said earnestly.

"No way!" Xiao Manxue immediately vetoed and gave a fierce stare at the bad guy who made such a rotten suggestion.

"Don’t rush, I haven’t finished speaking yet. You marry Situ Yufeng, and I’ll barge in halfway, pulling a kidnapping-the-bride and take you back as the Village Chief’s Wife—oh no, as the Village Chief’s Wife, how about that?" Lin Tian chuckled.

Although Lin Tian quickly changed his words, the mention of "Village Chief’s Wife" made Xiao Manxue’s face flush red again. She was a bit embarrassed and annoyed, saying, "At such a time, still joking around, quickly think of how to reject the Situ family."

Usually independent, Xiao Manxue hadn’t even realized that when Lin Tian was around, she inadvertently relied on him. Maybe a strong woman needs an even stronger man to protect her from the wind and rain.

The Miss truly was in a hurry; Lin Tian also put away his teasing demeanor and seriously said, "Master Tang is also a tycoon in the Ancient Martial World; his words are like golden rules with the weightiest influence, and in terms of etiquette, there’s no recourse."

Even for ordinary people who back out of a marriage, the one being backed out of will cause a fuss, not to mention a Qingshuang Pavilion and a Situ family, two giants in the Ancient Martial World, especially the Situ family, who are most concerned about their reputation, how could they allow someone to back out of marriage to their family.

Xiao Manxue also knew what Lin Tian said was reasonable. To save her sister, she was willing to do anything, but now that the Mystic Ice Blue Record wasn’t needed, she didn’t want to marry into the Situ family.

"Don’t worry, soft methods won’t work, I’ll resort to tough ones. As long as you don’t want it, all revenge from the Situ family will be borne by me." Lin Tian said calmly, but a cold gleam appeared in his eyes.

Xiao Manxue felt sweetness in her heart but was also torn. She was happy to have this rascal shielding her from the wind and rain but didn’t want Lin Tian to suffer because of it. She focused her gaze, and she had already made up her mind. If consequences had to be shouldered, she would bear them herself.

"We’ll adapt to the situation. This is my sect; if not necessary, I still hope things can be resolved peacefully." Xiao Manxue softly said, though even she didn’t quite believe her words.

"Then let’s go; we’ve been alone together too long, and they’ll think we’re up to something." Lin Tian said with deep meaning, making the little girl’s face blush once again.

"Oh, by the way, Miss, if my condition for treating Second Miss is for you to marry me, would you be willing?" Lin Tian suddenly asked as they were about to leave.
