Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1427 - 1424: No Entry Allowed

"Brother Tian, look, two people are walking on the iron chain!" Ghost, with his excellent eyesight, was the first to notice the figures in the thick fog.

Two figures, one in front of the other, one dressed in black and one in white, were walking on the iron chain. With each step, the chain shook slightly. The two’s steps were remarkably synchronized, causing the chain’s movements to be very regular.

As they got closer, it became clear that both were women. The one in front wore a white dress, and the one behind wore a black dress. Lin Tian could see more clearly than others; the woman in the white dress in front was precisely Tang Ziqing.

Tang Ziqing’s figure was still as graceful, her face remained beautiful, and her expression was still so indifferent. The only difference was her way of walking on the chain—elegant and light, like a fairy flying down from the sky.

The woman in black behind Tang Ziqing was just as tall and slender and equally beautiful, but her expression was even colder than Tang Ziqing’s. She carried a sword on her back, sheathed, hiding its sharpness.

Lin Tian and Ghost exchanged glances, both seeing the surprise in the other’s eyes, as these two women appearing on the chain had exceptional Qinggong. Ghost could cross such a chain, but not with the ease and grace of these two women.

With a fragrant breeze, the two women leaped lightly and landed on the edge of the cliff. Lin Tian was already acquainted with Tang Ziqing, so he turned his gaze to the woman in black.

Honestly, this woman in black was no less beautiful than Tang Ziqing. Even dressed in black, she couldn’t conceal her alluring figure, but her temperament was more restrained, containing the determination of an Ancient Martial Artist. Her dark eyes revealed a touch of sharp Sword Qi.

The woman stood there, her whole being like a sharp sword hidden in its sheath, an excellent sword yet imperious and unapproachable.

Seemingly sensing Lin Tian’s gaze, the woman in black slightly turned her head, her eyes shifting lightly. At the moment their eyes met, Lin Tian felt a flash of light piercing the night, a slashing sword light.

The sword light vanished as quickly as it appeared. The woman merely glanced at Lin Tian before retracting her gaze and restoring her calm demeanor.

Such a fierce sword momentum, this woman who appeared slightly older than Tang Ziqing, contained a Sword Intent seemingly sharper than Tang Ziqing’s. Indeed, Qingshuang Pavilion was rich in talent, Lin Tian thought to himself.

At the same time, Lin Tian raised a question in his heart: Who is this woman in black, could she be Master Tang?

However, Shen Danxi’s next words dispelled Lin Tian’s thoughts, as she first spoke to Tang Ziqing. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Uncle-Master Ziqing, Wang Family’s Wang Wanxi requests an audience with the Pavilion Master, and she carries a handwritten letter from Mr. Wang."

Shen Danxi’s words revealed several pieces of information: Tang Ziqing held a significant rank, and she did not exchange greetings with the woman in black, indicating that the woman in black was not the Pavilion Master.

Indeed, a dignified Pavilion Master would not personally come here to greet a junior like Wang Wanxi, unless Wang Yuanzhou himself were visiting, then it might be possible.

Tang Ziqing nodded and said, "Hmm, I already know about this matter."

From the moment Tang Ziqing appeared until now, she had not looked at Lin Tian once, as if she did not know him. However, Lin Tian was used to it, as she never showed a friendly face.

Wang Wanxi stepped forward and presented the letter to Tang Ziqing with polite words, "This is my father’s letter. I trouble Miss Tang to lead the way."

"You’re welcome. Mr. Wang’s wholehearted pursuit of the pinnacle of Ancient Martial is a model for our generation. Seeing Sister Wang today, you indeed bear Mr. Wang’s demeanor. Were it not for some old issues, Sister Wang would already be in the Innate Realm by now." Tang Ziqing surprisingly spoke a few polite words.

Beside them, Lin Tian was dumbfounded. This icy woman actually learned to be polite.

"On the path of Ancient Martial, it’s seventy percent cultivation, thirty percent destiny. Whether one can step into the Innate Realm requires some opportunities. I was unlucky with opportunities and cannot blame other matters." Wang Wanxi answered very calmly.

Although Tang Ziqing was much younger than Wang Wanxi, in the hierarchy of the Ancient Martial World, they were essentially peers. Among their generation, both Wang Wanxi and Tang Ziqing were exceptional talents and, being women, naturally had a mutual appreciation.

"The matter of opportunities is ever-changing; who can say for sure? Perhaps a Pill for restoring realms will appear soon." Tang Ziqing said flatly, seemingly hinting at something.

"Maybe." Wang Wanxi smiled faintly, her expression serene, prompting a bright look in Tang Ziqing’s eyes.

"Please." Tang Ziqing didn’t say much, making a gesture of invitation, naturally inviting Wang Wanxi across the iron chain.

Wang Wanxi and Tang Ziqing walked toward the iron chain, and naturally, Lin Tian and his party followed. However, just as they were about to step out, someone blocked their path.

"Halt!" The one blocking the trio was Shen Danxi. She looked at Lin Tian and his party, her gaze carrying a slight chill.

"What do you mean by this?" Lin Tian asked coldly, expressionless.

"Men are forbidden to enter, and besides, you don’t have the qualification to go in." Shen Danxi said unceremoniously.

When she said this, Tang Ziqing did not speak, clearly acquiescing to Shen Danxi’s actions.

Lin Tian frowned slightly, and said somewhat displeased, "Since we’re not allowed to enter, why didn’t you state it clearly at Qinglan Garden? Instead, you have us come all this way for nothing. Is this how Qingshuang Pavilion toys with its guests?"

This statement was like poking a hornet’s nest. All three women of Qingshuang Pavilion looked at Lin Tian together. Shen Danxi, unable to suppress her anger any longer, glared at him. She had long been annoyed with Lin Tian, and now she finally found a reason to let it out.

"You chose to follow, not me begging you to do so. What right do you have to demand me to explain clearly? Who are you, from which family, or which sect?" Shen Danxi said disdainfully.

Her once-controlled restraint was broken by Lin Tian’s words. She no longer hid her inner disgust and anger, especially in front of her uncle-master, wanting to perform well. Who knows, her uncle-master might even teach her some advanced Ancient Martial skills if pleased.

"You go too far!" Ghost snorted coldly. He always adhered to the principle of not bullying women, and his sniper rifle never took the lives of female enemies. But now, Ghost was genuinely angry at their contempt towards Lin Tian.

"Manager Shen Danxi..." Sensing an impending conflict, Wang Wanxi turned back, gracefully calling out, yet now looking at Shen Danxi with disapproval, "Manager Shen, they are all my friends. Please watch your tone, and moreover, there is no explicit rule in Qingshuang Pavilion forbidding men’s entry. In fact, men entering Qingshuang Pavilion is not unprecedented!"

"Miss Wang, while it’s true Qingshuang Pavilion has no explicit rule and men have entered before, those men had status, entering with the Pavilion Master’s approval. I’m afraid these three young people are not qualified to receive the Pavilion Master’s permission." Shen Danxi took a glance at Tang Ziqing, and seeing her not speak, assumed acquiescence and spoke forcefully again.
