Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1396 - 1393: A Simple Family Dinner

With Lin Tian’s assistance to the Yun family, it seems there’s nothing inappropriate about him receiving such an honor. However, just because he can accept it doesn’t mean Lin Tian would truly let the old man come down to greet him.

Therefore, he swiftly made his way up, just in time to support the old man. Nearby, Wang Wanxi noticed Lin Tian’s speed and her eyes lit up; as an Ancient Martial Artist, only she could comprehend the astonishment of Lin Tian’s swiftness.

Although it seemed unremarkable, he arrived in the blink of an eye without causing any discomfort to the old man. Wang Wanxi realized Lin Tian’s strength had increased again, which amazed her.

"Mr. Yun, I’ve come to see you," Lin Tian said with a smile, holding the old man’s hand warmly.

"Xiao Tian, last time you suddenly left without a word, I was worried. Is everything alright? Is it all resolved?" Yun Hongxi asked with concern, just like caring for a blood relative.

Last time when Mrs. Xiao was suddenly captured, Lin Tian had to rush back, and until now, he hadn’t explained it to the old man. The Yun family was still unaware of the Xiao family’s ordeal, nor did they know everything that happened to Lin Tian in England. Even Lin Tian himself felt these events somewhat surreal.

The old man’s heartfelt worry made Lin Tian feel a bit apologetic. He chuckled and said, "Mr. Yun, you don’t need to worry. Under the wise leadership of Mrs. Xiao and the Miss, any difficulty is a paper tiger."

"Xiao Tian, you’re being sneaky, not telling the old man the truth." Yun Hongxi saw through Lin Tian’s untruth but had no intention to reprimand him: "However, seeing you safe and sound puts my mind at ease. The world of young people needs them to explore. Money is just external; as long as you’re okay, everything can start over again."

"Dad, do you plan on standing outside chatting with Xiao Tian forever?" Wang Wanxi couldn’t help but comment as she noticed the endless conversation between the two.

Only then did Yun Hongxi realize, and feeling a bit embarrassed, he said, "Xiao Tian, see how muddle-headed I’ve become. You’ve traveled far to see me; it’s not right to keep you standing outside. Please come in."

After saying this, he led Lin Tian and Yun Xiaotian inside the villa with quick steps, as if pulling two treasured grandsons. Yun Haoyu and Wang Wanxi watched, shaking their heads helplessly at their father, who seemed as happy as a child today.

Once inside the villa’s living room, Lin Tian sat Mr. Yun down and solemnly said, "Mr. Yun, let me first diagnose you to see how your recovery is going."

"Elder Jiang regularly diagnoses me, and I’ve always been recovering well. However, if you check it, that would be the best." Mr. Yun had unwavering faith in Lin Tian’s medical skills, already remarkably skilled at such a young age, transforming rot into magic would not be an exaggeration. He had outshone prominent doctors at the Medical Conference, undeniably a talented youth.

Lin Tian placed his hand on the old man’s wrist to carefully feel the pulse. Now, even without using the super vision, he had a good understanding of pulse diagnosis.

The old man’s pulse was steady and strong, a signal of health. To avoid missing anything, Lin Tian activated super vision to thoroughly observe the old man’s organs and limbs, finally focusing on his legs.

The effect of the Yin Yang Life Elixir was indeed powerful, not only healing the old man’s legs but also invigorating all organs and limbs. Although Mr. Yun looked somewhat grey-haired, his health was far better than many of his peers.

"Xiao Tian, how is dad?" Yun Haoyu asked softly.

Lin Tian withdrew his hand and smiled slightly, "Rest assured, Mr. Yun is blessed with ample fortune. Not only have old ailments healed, he will also be free of any illness in the future."

Hearing Lin Tian’s words, everyone began to smile, even the serious-faced Yun Wu nodded and smiled with gratitude towards Lin Tian.

"Alright, stop just being happy, Xiao Tian must be tired from the long journey and still hungry, let’s have the dishes served," Mr. Yun clapped his hands, starting the feast welcoming Lin Tian.

Though called a banquet, it was in fact just Yun Xiaotian’s family of four, plus Lin Tian, totaling five. Yun Wu, with his solitary arm, stood by and did not sit down — the old man was apparently used to his stubborn nature.

Though there were only five people, the meal was enjoyed in a lively, cheerful atmosphere. Particularly, Mr. Yun, who seemed to have endless questions for Lin Tian, was attentive regardless of their importance.

Lin Tian was also delighted to chat with the old man, feeling a warmth and sincerity from him. In these elders who had seen much of life, Lin Tian gained many insights.

Whether it was Yun Hongxi, Elder Zhou, or Jiang Xiu Ying, Lin Tian noticed the wisdom that came from the years they had lived.

Many young people are reluctant to converse with the elderly, considering their thoughts outdated and unfashionable, perceiving a generation gap. Lin Tian thought just the opposite; young people were immature and had not yet comprehended the wisdom accumulated through years.

After the meal, the group of five went to the back garden to chat, sitting in the pavilion, enjoying the coolness emitted by the sea’s breeze, brewing spring water and tea. Lin Tian felt an unprecedented sense of ease, especially after experiencing so many things outside.

Time unknowingly slipped by until evening, when they dined again at the villa, spending a whole day within the Yun family’s restricted area.

"Xiao Tian, I’ve nagged you young ones all day, you must be restless. You and Xiao Tian go have some fun." Wu Yun waved his hand after dinner and tea, speaking with a laugh.

The first Xiao Tian refers to Lin Tian, while the second one is naturally Yun Xiaotian. Though it seemed a bit tongue-tied, it was remarkably natural in the old man’s speech.

Lin Tian chuckled and replied, "Being here with Mr. Yun allows my mind to find peace, a form of cultivation in my youthful journey."

"Oh? Hahaha..." Mr. Yun was first taken aback, then burst into laughter. After a while, he joyfully said, "Xiao Tian, you’re truly exceptional, exceptional indeed..."

Mr. Yun continuously praised, but soon after Lin Tian and Yun Xiaotian departed the villa, after all, the old man was elderly, maintaining such excitement for too long was unwise.

Watching Lin Tian leave, Mr. Yun sighed quietly and said, "After just a while apart, I seem to behold a transformation in Xiao Tian’s spirit and character, his growth is indeed swift. He must have encountered many things, many things during this time."

Wang Wanxi and Yun Haoyu exchanged glances, both seeing surprise in each other’s eyes. With their excellent perception, indeed, they noticed Lin Tian’s change, though like Mr. Yun, they did not know exactly what he had been through.

At this moment, Lin Tian and Yun Xiaotian had left the restricted area, walking along the stone path. As night quietly fell, the silhouettes of the two appeared somewhat blurry from afar, one tall, the other delicate; those unaware might think a couple was strolling romantically.

"Brother Tian, I’ll first take you to your accommodation, still at the Yunxiang Inn from last time," Yun Xiaotian slightly turned her head, looking at Lin Tian’s profile, and spoke softly.
