Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 1869 - 1866: Disappearance (Part 1)

Early the next morning, when Lin Tian got up, he saw that Miss had not left yet and was having breakfast with Xiao Manxuan. Who knows how Lin Tian got through last night, with the sisters just a wall away.

Moreover, Lin Tian discovered that these sisters really have a habit of bathing together. He had noticed this at the Xiao Family’s place. Listening to the sound of water and their soft whispers coming from the bathroom, Lin Tian almost couldn’t resist using his x-ray vision to peek at the infinite scenes inside.

Of course, with the spiritual sense of Miss, she might realize, but even without looking, Lin Tian could imagine the scene of the two sisters soaking in the bathtub together, just thinking about it made him want to nosebleed.

"Lin Tian, why are you in a daze so early in the morning, not fully awake yet?" Miss glanced at him and said.

"Ahem, eating breakfast..." Lin Tian pretended to cough twice, trying to cover up the suggestive thoughts in his mind. After sitting down, he turned to ask, "Miss coming to the school, it isn’t simply to make me reflect, right? Is there something else?"

Miss gave him a white look and didn’t say anything. She took something out from her side and placed it on the table. Lin Tian recognized at a glance that it was the Hua Ying Sword.

"Is there a problem with the Hua Ying Sword?" Lin Tian asked curiously.

"It’s not the Hua Ying Sword that’s the problem, it’s your school. A few days ago, probably on the night of the Blood Moon, the Hua Ying Sword emitted a sword sound for no reason. Since you gave me the Hua Ying Sword, it only had an abnormality once, and that was when the Heavenly Tribulation Sword appeared. This sword is very sensitive to anomalies in the world between heaven and earth."

Miss stared at Lin Tian, glanced at the metal bracelet on his wrist, which was naturally the Heavenly Tribulation Sword.

Hearing this, Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan exchanged a glance without hiding anything from Miss: "You’re right, something did happen at the school. Ksitigarbha and Jiang Chen both appeared..."

Lin Tian recounted the event, including the visit from the Zhang Family, the intervention of the Netherworld, the emergence of Ksitigarbha, and the later extraction of the Heart of Jiang Chen. However, he didn’t mention that Qiao Xiaoyi was the reincarnation of Ksitigarbha.

Most people hearing this would treat it as a story, an unreliable one at that, or be so shocked they’d be left dumbfounded.

But after hearing everything, Miss was able to keep her composure, showing only a little surprise before quickly calming down.

"I really didn’t expect that some legends passed down in the Ancient Martial World are actually true," Miss sighed slightly.

"What legends?" Lin Tian asked curiously.

"There is power beyond the Innate, strong enough to seal Jiang Chen. Innate power obviously isn’t enough. However, those greater than Innate have disappeared for too long, and for thousands of years, there hasn’t been anyone who surpasses the Innate," Miss said unfortunately.

At the same time, she was full of hope because beyond Innate was no longer just a myth.

"Jinghua University really is a chaotic place. I don’t even know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing that you’re studying here," Miss continued.

Lin Tian smiled faintly, indifferent: "Whatever comes will come, things you’re destined to encounter, you’ll encounter sooner or later. Avoiding isn’t a solution. Besides, the Heart of Jiang Chen has already been taken away, so the campus can have some peace for a while."

"Sister, don’t worry, Lin Tian will protect us. Besides, I’m not as weak as you think," Xiao Manxuan patted her chest with assurance and confidence.

Lin Tian raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking to himself, not only not weak, but very strong. After the eruption of the alien energy, even Xu Feibai couldn’t withstand her.

"Xuanxuan, Lin Tian, I don’t have much time and need to leave. You both need to be extra careful and don’t try to do too much, especially you, Lin Tian. If what happened last night happens again, reflection won’t be enough," Miss warned with a deliberately stern face, but Lin Tian could hear her concern beneath her facade.

Miss always had a cold exterior but was warm inside. Lin Tian didn’t refute her, obedient for once, saying, "Don’t worry, Miss, I’ll be careful. I’ll preserve myself for both you and Second Miss."

"Pfft, who wants you to preserve yourself!" The sisters responded in unison, and after speaking, both of their faces turned red.

Lin Tian swore, he meant his words with utmost sincerity, but the sisters took them differently, making him think wild thoughts.

"I’m leaving first, you both finish eating and head to class." Miss couldn’t withstand Lin Tian’s gaze, blushing, put down her bowl and chopsticks, and left, and Xiao Manxuan also pretended to grab her books and head to class.

Miss left after all, and Lin Tian felt somewhat melancholic. After all, he did miss this cold-faced lady CEO a bit.

However, the campus does seem to have calmed down for real. At least, Lin Tian noticed more construction vehicles within the campus. He made a special trip to the construction site to look and found that the workers had resumed work.

The old buildings within the construction site had been completely flattened. One wonders what will be built on this empty land. Speaking of which, Old Man Zhang disappeared after that night. Lin Tian thought he would come to the site to handle the Heart of Jiang Chen, even reminded Xu Feibai, but no sign of him.

In the afternoon, it was time for a physical education class, and Lin Tian, as usual, went to the football field. He saw Xu Feibai still as usual, one hand holding a folder, a foot on a football, as if the events of the past few days had nothing to do with him.

Seeing no one else at the field yet, Lin Tian went up, puzzled, "I thought you had already left."

Xu Feibai was fiddling with the soccer ball at his feet, looking indifferent: "The promised reward hasn’t been given to you yet; how could I leave in good conscience?"

As he said this, he flicked his hand, and a drop of bright red blood flew towards Lin Tian. Lin Tian was delighted, reached out to catch it, and the blood drop was absorbed into his palm. In the sunlight, the blood drop emitted a faint blood glow, but this glow didn’t feel bloody—instead, it was full of vitality.

"Hurry and put it away, do you want to invite other classmates to have a look?" Xu Feibai reminded him as he looked at the distance where other students were gradually gathering.

Lin Tian’s five fingers curled, and the blood was absorbed into his body. By this time, he had collected four types of blood. The Bloodline of the Blood Clan, Blood of Houqing, and now the Jiang Chen Bloodline, along with his own—Blood of Nu Ba—only missing Ying Gou Bloodline and the Shennong Ding.

But, the Ying Gou Bloodline and the Shennong Ding are the most difficult to collect. Up to now, there have been no clues. Especially the Shennong Ding, which is a divine artifact for the Pharmacist to refine medicine, a position long obsolete, not to mention the Shennong Ding.

Thinking it over without any leads, Lin Tian gave up pondering it further and said to Xu Feibai: "Now that you’ve given me the stuff, isn’t it time for you to leave?"

"The task is not complete, I can’t go," Xu Feibai gave Lin Tian a surprising answer.

Lin Tian frowned, puzzled: "The Heart of Jiang Chen has been obtained, what else do you need to do?"

"Jiang Chen was divided into several parts by ancient great powers. To resurrect Jiang Chen, a heart alone won’t suffice, but you must also acquire the other parts. I have clues about the other parts, but I need your help," Xu Feibai explained.
