Chapter 2334: Chapter 2331: Reunion (Part 2)
“Brother Lin Tian!” The little loli quickly set her sights on Lin Tian, calling out happily, her face lighting up with a joyful smile.
Everyone forgot about Ning Wenbin, watching as she ran towards Lin Tian like a fluttering butterfly.
As soon as she reached Lin Tian, she grasped his hand, unable to hide the joy in her eyes: “Brother Lin Tian, we meet again…”
Lin Tian was also a bit bewildered because the little loli in front of him was Yan Lingling, but wasn’t Yan Lingling supposed to be thousands of miles away at the Kunlun Mountain Medicine King Mansion?
However, the classroom suddenly buzzed with chatter. Everyone began to whisper: Who was this little girl, and what was her relationship with Lin Tian?
Sister? Or…? Being so handsome and having such a beautiful sister seemed perfectly reasonable.
Ning Wenbin nudged Lin Tian with his elbow and whispered, “Lin Tian, who’s this little girl? I’ve never heard you mention her before?”
Lin Tian ignored him, steadied himself, and said, “Ling’er, why are you here?”
Actually, what he wanted to ask was how she found this place. Although the little girl was already a Mid Innate expert, she had never left Kunlun and was the type likely to get lost even past the snowy mountains.
“Hehe, don’t you welcome me, Brother Lin Tian?” Yan Lingling put her hands behind her back, looked up at Lin Tian, and said with a mischievous smile.
“Welcome? Who dares not welcome Ling’er, I’ll beat them up!” Lin Tian joked, knowing from everyone else’s reactions that the little girl was welcomed wherever she went.
Receiving Lin Tian’s confirmation, Yan Lingling’s eyes curled into a crescent moon, and she mysteriously said, “That’s more like it. I didn’t come empty-handed; I brought you a surprise.”
Surprise? Lin Tian blinked, then said, “Let’s talk outside.”
With that, he took Yan Lingling’s hand and walked outside. As he reached the podium, Lin Tian politely said, “Teacher, I’d like to leave during the last class.”
The Advanced Mathematics teacher knew Lin Tian well and was familiar with his exam scores and performance at the school, so he wasn’t difficult about it and merely smiled: “You can take leave, but don’t fall behind in today’s lesson; I’ll be checking tomorrow.”
“No problem, thanks, teacher.” With everyone watching curiously and enviously, Lin Tian led Yan Lingling out of the classroom.
Once they left, the classroom was instantly abuzz with gossip, with He Xiaofei, Mu Binglan, and a bunch of others surrounding Ning Wenbin: “Brother Ning, you’re so familiar with Lin Tian, who’s the little girl? She’s like a little angel.”
Ning Wenbin was also bewildered and said helplessly, “You’re familiar with him too, why ask me? I’m just as confused…”
Lin Tian and Yan Lingling’s departure left behind countless guesses and questions, but Lin Tian couldn’t care about those now.
Once they reached a less crowded place, necessary given the little girl’s immense charm, he asked her, “Weren’t you at the Medicine King Mansion? How did you get here? And how did you know I was at Jinghua University and even which classroom I was in?”
“Brother Lin Tian, you have so many questions.” The little girl gave a mysterious smile and then pointed into the distance.
Lin Tian turned to look and saw a beautiful woman approaching; it was Wang Wanxi.
Seeing Wang Wanxi, Lin Tian instantly understood. She was an Ancient Martial Artist and also someone from the secular world. Asking her to bring people over was most appropriate, and with her ability, finding out which classroom he was in would be child’s play.
“Aunt Wang…” Lin Tian greeted her.
Wang Wanxi waved her hand and smiled: “No need to ask, I’ll explain. The Medicine King Mansion found me and asked me to help bring Ling’er over to visit you.”
“I see. Manxuan would be delighted to know you’re here; I’ll call her right away.” Lin Tian immediately thought of the little girl; during their treasure hunts, she often rode Bai with Yan Lingling, and the two had long been friends.
Wang Wanxi laughed again: “I’ve already told Manxuan, she should be here soon.”
Just as she finished speaking, Xiao Manxuan’s voice appeared from afar. She looked around and soon discovered them, then ran over hurriedly.
“Ling’er, it really is you, that’s wonderful. Aunt Wang told me, and I could hardly believe it.” Xiao Manxuan held Yan Lingling’s hand, very pleased.
“I could hardly believe it either; the Medicine King Mansion is so far away. Ling’er, have you started your training outside the mountain?” Lin Tian asked suspiciously; the little girl’s sudden appearance must have a reason.
“The Medicine King Mansion’s rule is to wait until one is eighteen and has completed the coming-of-age ceremony before training outside the mountain,” Yan Lingling shook her head, then said, “Actually, Little Snow misses you all.”
“Little Snow, what’s wrong with it?” Lin Tian’s heart skipped a beat, fearing something might have happened, and Xiao Manxuan was a bit anxious as well.
Little Snow had indeed offended some; it had scratched Situ Yufeng and embarrassed the Divine Clan. If they sought revenge, it’s possible something happened to Little Snow.
No matter how powerful Little Snow was, it couldn’t rival humans, who stand atop nature using their brains.
Ordinary people can’t fight tigers barehanded, but can use traps, rifles, and mechanisms. Not to mention, it’s facing Ancient Martial Artists, and the Divine Clan remains much stronger.
Yan Lingling waved her hand quickly, explaining, “Little Snow wasn’t harmed. After you left, it ran back to the mountains itself, but two days later, it flew back to the Medicine King Mansion, circling above it every day. Even with Bai to play with, it wasn’t happy and often went to the place you left, standing on the mountaintop for half a day…”
“Little Snow…” Listening to Yan Lingling, Xiao Manxuan softly called out, tearful.
Lin Tian showed no expression outwardly, but his heart felt a pinch; Little Snow’s feelings toward him were deeper than he’d realized.
“So, I decided to bring Little Snow out, rather than let it sulk every day. I’ve brought Little Snow to see you all.” Yan Lingling said with a sweet smile.
“Really.” Xiao Manxuan exclaimed, having mentioned it when they built the new mountain villa. Now, hearing Little Snow had come, she was overjoyed.
Lin Tian was also happy but appeared more composed: “Where’s Little Snow now?”
If Little Snow appeared in public view, it might cause unnecessary trouble. Though panic wasn’t likely, given modern acceptance levels, too much attention wasn’t good for Little Snow.
“Rest assured, Little Snow is at the Yun Family’s back mountain. Only I, Yun Tian, and Mr. Wang know about it. Yun Tian is watching over Little Snow.” Wang Wanxi explained.
“Yun Tian watching over Little Snow?” Lin Tian chuckled, shaking his head: “That’s asking quite a bit of him.”
It’s likely Yan Lingling had soothed Little Snow; otherwise, even Mr. Wang and Yun Tian together couldn’t keep track of it.
“Let’s go quickly, otherwise I’m afraid Yun Tian won’t manage.” Wang Wanxi reminded.
With that, the three left the campus, where Wang Wanxi had arranged a vehicle to take them, heading straight to the Yun Family.
Compared to Lin Tian’s new home, the Yun Family was closer to the school. Soon, the three arrived at the Yun Family, and as soon as they stepped out, Lin Tian led the little girl toward the back mountain.
