Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1408 - 1405: The Back Mountain

"Big brother, Lin Tian hasn’t given up yet, are you giving up first?" Wang Wanxi looked at Lin Tian, but she was speaking to Wang Mingyan.

At this moment, his little sister was still so confident. Wang Mingyan frowned and said, "Rest and recover strength before pushing, that would be pointless."

Just as he finished speaking, Lin Tian moved to another bronze door. Under the curious gaze of the crowd, he once again pushed the door with one hand.

Now the Wang Family members were not calm, and Wang Mingyan closed his mouth without suggesting to end it. But they developed a new suspicion: what is this young man doing by pushing the door one step at a time?

While everyone was puzzled, Lin Tian finally pushed the other door halfway open and stopped.

"Damn, he wouldn’t want to..." Someone exclaimed, swearing. This reminder led others to understand what Lin Tian was trying to do.

Lin Tian didn’t keep them waiting long. He stretched out his two hands, just grabbing the two doors. With a force, the doors made a deep sound, intertwining intensely, then both doors moved together, closing completely with just one breath.

Lin Tian withdrew his hands and turned around, looking calm and composed. He smiled slightly at Wang Mingyan and said, "Uncle Wang, I successfully completed the mission, the doors are closed."

Wang Mingyan gave a bitter smile and couldn’t say anything. He could only give Lin Tian a thumbs up; now he understood why his little sister was so composed.

"Yay, Brother Lin Tian is awesome!" The little loli Wang Si Yin cheered, then broke free from Zhu Yingying’s hand and ran towards Lin Tian.

Lin Tian lowered his head to look at the cute and bold Wang Si Yin, unsure of what the little loli was up to. Just as he was about to ask, the little loli gestured to Lin Tian, indicating for him to bend down.

He smiled, complying with the little loli’s request, and squatted down until they were level. The little loli leaned close to Lin Tian, quickly pecked his cheek, and spoke earnestly, "This is your reward. Mom said completing a task earns you a reward."

After freezing for a moment, Lin Tian laughed, mimicking her serious demeanor, and said "Thank you." The little loli responded with "You’re welcome," then ran back to Zhu Yingying’s side. As she ran, her little skirt fluttered like an angel with wings.

At that moment, Lin Tian felt his body accumulated with Evil Qi from England was seemingly purified by this "little angel," bringing an unexpected tranquility within.

"Brother Lin Tian, your strength is impressive; care for a duel at the Martial Arts Arena?" A young Wang family member in his early twenties shouted, other young members also eager, including several young women.

Closing the doors with both hands, there were others among the youths who could do it too. Now that Lin Tian had accomplished it, his strength was recognized. Naturally, martial artists were competitive by nature.

"You mischievous bunch, step back. Lin Tian just arrived at the Wang Family and was blocked right at the gate; what kind of conduct is that? If word spreads, people will say my Wang Family doesn’t know how to treat guests properly. Break it up, all of you." Wang Mingyan waved a big hand, shouting loudly.

Lin Tian found it amusing, thinking to himself, "I was blocked because of you." The other Wang family youths also realized it, chuckling, but still left.

"Xiao Tian, these youngsters are excessive in energy, made you laugh." Wang Mingyan clasped his hands with a hint of apology.

"It’s fine, I’m young myself, I completely understand." Lin Tian said, unconcerned.

"Stop standing and chatting, let’s head inside," Zhu Yingying reminded.

A group of people led by the Four Elders and Wang Mingyan and his wife moved deeper into the Wang Family. Pavilions, lofts, corridors, and garden bridges made for an ancient mountain villa, just as splendid as the Yun Family. Of course, the Yun Family is located in the Imperial Capital, where land prices are much higher than in Qi County.

After bypassing a rockery, the group entered a pavilion. Lin Tian glanced at the pavilion’s hall arrangement, similar to the Yun Family’s guest hall, with square tables on both sides and a main seat in the center. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"You younger ones should leave too, don’t disturb your aunt." Wang Mingyan waved his hand and sent out the little followers, though the little loli remained.

Once everyone sat down, servants brought tea. After finishing the tea, Wang Wanxi got straight to the point and said, "Big brother, honestly, I still have to visit Qingshuang Pavilion later. I primarily came to see our father, why haven’t I seen him?"

"Practicing in the mountains, you know, Father’s biggest wish in this life is to reach Lifeless Realm, so he never slacks off in cultivation, often closing himself for practice," Wang Mingyan replied, his own expression reflecting admiration. Anyone practicing the Lifeless Tai Chi Secret Scripture would desire Lifeless Realm.

"Lifeless Realm, what a challenge. Ten years ago, Father achieved the Sixth True Qi but hasn’t made progress since. There’s the Seventh, Eighth, and finally the most difficult Ninth True Qi. After nine, reaching the peak of Lifeless Realm. There are so many paths, how can one’s lifespan reach such limits?" Wang Wanxi sighed lightly.

"Alright, I should go see him." Wang Wanxi said, no longer interested in tea, and stood up.

Wang Mingyan didn’t object and also stood up. Lin Tian, Ghost, and Yun Xiaotian rose too. Thus, the group sat down for less than a cup of tea’s time and departed again, though Zhu Yingying and the little loli didn’t follow.

Leaving the guest hall, Wang Mingyan and Wang Wanxi led, followed by Lin Tian and his two fellows, heading towards the back residence. Although it was behind the house, there was still a distance from the mountain foot once exiting the back door.

The ground was covered in rocks, with hardly any path. Surrounding trees and wild vines grew sparsely, clearly indicating few visits.

At the mountain foot, smaller stones gave way to larger ones, likely rolled down from the mountain from centuries of erosion.

The path was not easy, but fortunately, everyone was not ordinary. The only one without cultivation roots was Yun Xiaotian, yet Wang Wanxi’s help ensured quick progress.

Quickly reaching the peak of the first mountain, it was clear why it was the first: upon reaching the top, Lin Tian saw more peaks beyond, with white mist drifting between distant mountains.

These mountains weren’t high by altitude but steep due to rocky nature, mist usually rare here.

Mist formed because two rivers flowed from the distant peaks, one left, one right, like two Water Dragons drafting out, quite spectacular.

"Twin dragons encircle, stone peaks rise, no wonder Wang Family stands as a gem," Lin Tian mused lightly from the mountain summit, gazing at the twin water flows.
