Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1634 - 1631: Low on IQ, Needs a Recharge

"You’re not from the School of Life Sciences, not even a student at Jinghua University. If you want to show off, do it outside!" Mu Binglan was already a bit impatient and, with this sudden provocation, she felt even more displeased.

Liu Yuansi looked Mu Binglan up and down and said arrogantly, "I come and go as I please, say what I want. What business do women have in men’s affairs? Or are all the men in your life sciences class cowards? Makes sense, given the yin predominates over the yang."

"Lin Tian, say something, will you go or not? Do you need a woman to decide for you?" Liu Yuansi sneered.

Lin Tian looked at him as if he were looking at an idiot and laughed, "You have the aura of one of those experts in ads curing various diseases for both men and women. You’re way too confident, really, you have a lot of potential in that field."

After speaking, Lin Tian turned and walked away. Liu Yuansi was momentarily stunned, and it wasn’t until Lin Tian was over ten meters away that he realized, "You insulted me!"

"Talking to someone with your IQ is really exhausting. You’re running low on IQ, better go recharge it." Lin Tian said loudly without turning back.

"We’ll be waiting for you at the school gate tomorrow. If you’re a man, show up. Stop just whining!" Liu Yuansi’s expression turned cold as he left a line and walked off with Zhao Weitao in another direction.

"Class Leader He, are we still going?" Qiao Xiaoyi asked.

Mu Binglan snorted lightly and said, "Of course we’re going. Red Leaf Mountain doesn’t belong to the Zhao Family. Why should we avoid him?"

"What about Brother Lin? He hasn’t given his response yet." Qiao Xiaoyi was a bit hesitant, since if Lin Tian didn’t go, he would feel awkward going out with two girls.

"Don’t worry, I’ll ask him later. He will go." He Xiaofei reassured him.

As Lin Tian walked further away, he took out his phone and dialed a number, Ning Luoxi’s number.

"Lin Tian, what’s up?" Ning Luoxi’s voice came through the phone, sounding puzzled. She even thought something might have gone wrong, because she knew Lin Tian wouldn’t call without a reason.

"There will be irrelevant people going to Red Leaf Mountain tomorrow, which may affect the plan..." Lin Tian briefly explained to Ning Luoxi about He Xiaofei and the others planning to go to Red Leaf Mountain.

After a brief silence, Ning Luoxi seemed to be contemplating something, and then she said, "Go with them. It will help to camouflage the plan better. But make sure to take them to the north side of Red Leaf Mountain. Our formation is set up on the south side, so there won’t be any harm to innocents during the fight."

"Alright, let’s hope they stay out of trouble and don’t bring it upon themselves." Lin Tian said calmly. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"The formation is already set. This matter cannot be delayed. If necessary, we’ll forcibly take them away then." Ning Luoxi was also decisive and didn’t hesitate.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Tian was about to put away his cellphone when it suddenly beeped with a new message. He opened it and found it was from Ning Luoxi.

After opening it, there was a route map and a holographic map of Red Leaf Mountain, including detailed terrain, landforms, and vegetation. Ning Luoxi’s preparation was very thorough.

Red Leaf Mountain extends east-west, with a gentle slope on the south side. A stream flows out of the valley, forming a medium-sized lake at the base of the mountain. Ning Luoxi marked a red cross here, indicating the location of the formation.

The northern side is much steeper, with many cliffs. Normally, the south side would be the popular site for visits, but in reality, the back side became an exploration hotspot for hikers, and the rock climbing Liu Yuansi mentioned is located on this north side.

Lin Tian memorized the route map and all the information about Red Leaf Mountain in his mind, then decisively deleted the message. With his memory, it would be hard to forget even if he tried.

When he got back to his apartment, Xiao Manxuan was already busy in the kitchen. The little girl wearing an apron had a particular charm, and Lin Tian could play lazy, watch TV, and wait for his meal.

In fact, Lin Tian knew Xiao Manxuan was expressing her gratitude in her own way. Lin Tian had done a lot for the Xiao Family and for her, and she wouldn’t just keep saying "thank you." She was reciprocating in whatever way she could manage.

Cooking and cleaning might seem insignificant compared to what Lin Tian had done, but these were the very things he valued, feeling they were more precious than ten thousand gold coins.

"Lin Tian, once I finish stir-frying this cauliflower, we can eat." Xiao Manxuan popped her head out, glanced at Lin Tian, and said with a mischievous smile.

"By the way, Xuanxuan, where’s the guqin? I need to inspect it before using it." Lin Tian asked on purpose, even though he already knew where the guqin was, but he couldn’t say so directly or the little girl would know he had been in her boudoir.

Xiao Manxuan didn’t come out, just said, "It’s in the cabinet. You can check it yourself, but I warn you, don’t mess with my things."

Lin Tian found this amusing. The little girl was surely worried he might touch her drawer full of underwear and bras, though in fact, he already had.

He got up, walked into the room, opened the cabinet with familiar ease, and took out the wooden box inside. Lin Tian didn’t open it but hovered his hand over as strands of blood mist seeped from the seams of the wooden box, gathering into his palm and eventually forming a Blood Pearl, which then merged into his palm and disappeared.

"Master is indeed thorough." The Sword Spirit suddenly commented in his mind.

"After what happened last time, the Secret Master is more cautious. If my blood aura were left on it, the Secret Master might not show up." Lin Tian responded calmly.

"Those Wizards are indeed crafty. I remember back when King Arthur mobilized the whole nation to hunt down some evil wizards, but it wasn’t very effective. They always managed to slip away from encirclements, quite bizarre." The Sword Spirit remarked with a bit of a sigh.

It had mixed up Secret Masters with Wizards, but Lin Tian didn’t bother to correct it. After putting the wooden box back in the cabinet, he returned to the living room as if nothing had happened.

Soon, Xiao Manxuan brought out the dishes: steamed osmanthus fish, braised prawns, stir-fried bok choy, and a soup, simple yet substantial.

Just as he was about to dig in, his phone rang inappropriately. Glancing at it, he saw a stranger’s number. Lin Tian directly put it on speaker.

"Lin Tian? It’s He Xiaofei..." As soon as it connected, He Xiaofei’s voice came through. Xiao Manxuan looked up and glanced at Lin Tian.

"Class Leader He, I know why you’re calling. I’ll go with Mr. Xiao tomorrow. I’m driving, so you all prepare your stuff." Before He Xiaofei could ask, Lin Tian already made his intentions clear.

He Xiaofei paused, probably stunned by Lin Tian’s straightforward acceptance. After collecting herself, she said, "Alright, see you tomorrow then."

After the call, Lin Tian noticed Xiao Manxuan’s smirking gaze and hurriedly clarified, "Ahem, don’t get me wrong, here’s the situation..." He had planned to explain these things anyway, so Lin Tian could only tell her in advance.

After listening to the explanation, Xiao Manxuan nodded to indicate her understanding but still asked worriedly, "Isn’t it dangerous for them to go along?"
