Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1402 - 1399: Wang Family (Part 1)

"Ding dong..." The doorbell rang, breaking Lin Tian’s meditation. He opened his eyes, staring directly at the dazzling sun in the sky.

It was eight o’clock in the morning. After failing to forge the Crescent Blade last night, Lin Tian had reluctantly gone to sleep. Rising early today, he had already been cultivating for two hours. He never relaxed in his practice of the Beast Skin Cultivation Technique because only by mastering this technique he could avoid relying on consuming human blood to survive.

Getting up and stretching his limbs, Lin Tian walked out and opened the door. Standing outside was An Xiaoru.

An Xiaoru was wearing a white blouse, a black skirt, her long, shapely legs wrapped in white stockings, and on her feet were a pair of flat cloth shoes. She was also wearing a pink apron, standing there obediently, like a gardenia just bloomed in the morning, still dewy, fresh, and bashful.

Seeing Lin Tian bare-chested, with a well-proportioned figure, muscles strong but not exaggerated, and a healthy skin tone, An Xiaoru felt a strong masculine presence rushing towards her, striking a chord in her heart.

"Mr. Lin, breakfast is ready," An Xiaoru said, a bit nervously, her words spoken with some difficulty.

"Alright, thank you, I’ll be down soon." Although puzzled by An Xiaoru’s expression, Lin Tian responded casually. An Xiaoru nodded, sneaking a glance at Lin Tian’s physique before swiftly running downstairs, almost as if fleeing in panic.

After washing up, Lin Tian carried a safe down the stairs. After enjoying the breakfast An Xiaoru had carefully prepared, he was about to leave when two people walked in from outside.

The first was Yun Xiaotian. Upon seeing the person behind him, Lin Tian was taken aback—it was Ghost.

"Ghost, you rascal, when did you arrive at the Yun Family? You didn’t even come to find me," Lin Tian pretended to scold, but inside he was genuinely delighted. It had indeed been a long time since he last saw Ghost.

Ghost walked up with a smile and said, "Brother Tian, I just arrived this morning. It was Mr. Yun who told me you were at the Yun Family, so I came to see you right away."

"Your excuse is legitimate. By the way, how is your master?" Lin Tian asked. The last time they met, that yoga master was still recovering from injuries at the training base.

"Master is fine now. After recovering, he returned to Myanmar." Ghost replied truthfully.

"Your master got injured because of me. If it weren’t for my feud with the Bai Family, the old man wouldn’t have been dragged into this mess," Lin Tian said apologetically.

Ghost shook his head vigorously and said resolutely, "It’s not Brother Tian’s fault. It was Bai Zhengchu who exploited my master’s commitment. Later, when I investigated the Bai Family, they had already disappeared, even selling their ancestral home. Presumably, they have relocated completely."

"Most of the Bai Family’s businesses were given to the Xiao Family to compensate, their capital chain was broken, and with Bai Zhengchu’s death, the family’s downfall was inevitable. It’s unclear if Bai Yuze is dead; the battlefield was too chaotic at that time to notice that heir of the Bai Family," Lin Tian remarked calmly, with no sympathy for the Bai Family’s disappearance.

"Brother Lin, what are you guys talking about? A battlefield? And why does Ghost, who is obviously older, call Brother Lin ’Brother Tian’?" Yun Xiaotian interjected, very puzzled.

"Oh, nothing important. As for Ghost calling me Brother Tian, that’s how he wants to address me, I can’t stop him," Lin Tian replied nonchalantly.

"Mr. Yun, Lady Yun asked us to call Brother Tian; we should hurry over, it’s probably time to depart." Ghost shifted the topic, referring to Wang Wanxi as Lady Yun.

"Depart?" Lin Tian was puzzled, looking at the two, "You mean you’re coming too? Do you know where I’m going?"

Yun Xiaotian nodded affirmatively, "To my grandfather’s place. Both Ghost and I are going. I’m visiting my grandfather, and Ghost is my driver now, serving as my bodyguard."

"Alright, that’s a valid reason, but the Ferrari can’t seat four people, or rather five, including that bodyguard of yours, Mr. Wang." Lin Tian couldn’t imagine Yun Xiaotian and Ghost both going; the Ferrari certainly couldn’t fit five people. It wasn’t designed for seating people, space-wise, it’s worse than a minivan.

"Don’t worry, Brother Lin. Mr. Wang isn’t going, plus, we’re switching to another car," Yun Xiaotian explained, urging Lin Tian to hurry up.

Lin Tian turned to look at An Xiaoru, waved her off, letting her go back without following them out, and then walked out of the Yunxiang Inn with Yun Xiaotian. Yet, An Xiaoru still followed them to the entrance and stood there watching Lin Tian until he disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Yun Xiaotian didn’t go directly to Wang Wanxi, but instead went to the garage first, where Ghost drove out a domestic car.

Noticing Lin Tian’s strange expression, Yun Xiaotian explained, "Besides the looks, the best car in this garage is actually this one developed by the Yun Family. Its bulletproof performance and engine performance are comparable to professional bulletproof cars, and most importantly, its appearance is low-key, which won’t attract unnecessary attention."

"That’s true. Back then, I used this very car to beat Mo Mingda’s Ferrari," Lin Tian also liked this kind of car.

In reality, Huaxia can make good cars. It’s just that producing them to the same quality and performance standards is too costly, making mass production impossible. However, for the Yun Family to make one for Yun Xiaotian, cost wasn’t an issue.

The three of them got into the car, and Ghost drove out. As they approached the main gate, Lin Tian saw Wang Wanru emerging from a small path on the other side.

After Wang Wanxi got in the car, she apologized to Lin Tian, "Taking Xiaotian along without informing you in advance, you won’t blame Aunt Wang, will you?"

"Of course not, Aunt Wang. I’m already very grateful that you’re taking me to Qingshuang Pavilion. I’m just curious, why isn’t Mr. Wang, who always follows Xiaotian, going with us this time? I noted his skills aren’t simple, probably not inferior to Aunt Wang," Lin Tian was actually happy to have two more companions, at least the journey wouldn’t be dull.

"Yeah, Mom, why isn’t Mr. Wang coming with us?" Yun Xiaotian also inquired. Even he found it strange; wherever he went previously, this Mr. Wang always followed him closely.

The car slowly drove out of the Yun Family estate, then accelerated onto the road, traveling a considerable distance away from the Yun Family before Wang Wanxi lightly sighed and said, "Because the Wang Family doesn’t welcome him."

Lin Tian and Yun Xiaotian exchanged glances, both seeing confusion in the other’s eyes. Mr. Wang, being surnamed Wang, if he was a member of the Wang Family, given his age and skills, should have held a decent position in the Yun Family, so why was he unwelcome?

Wang Wanxi remained silent for a moment, then softly said, "Mr. Wang was punished for violating clan rules, and was expelled from the Wang Family. Mr. Wang watched me grow up and taught me Ancient Martial Arts. He didn’t really do anything wrong, it’s just that the family couldn’t tolerate his actions. Sometimes, clan rules are as rigid as iron, perhaps even a bit overly conservative."
