Chapter 442: Chapter 441 Conflict Arises

"Who are you? Why are you looking for our boss? She’s not here!" Business in the store was good, and the clerk was busy. Seeing that Lin Tian and his group weren’t there to buy anything, he dismissively fended them off with impatience.

Damn, this kid has a bigger temper than I do. Lin Tian felt like punching the clerk when he saw his insolent attitude.

But Sang Lin’s temper was much better, and he still smiled, saying, "Just tell them that a junior with the surname Sang has come to visit."

"Who cares if your surname is Sang or whatever? If you’re not buying, then get out and don’t hinder our business," the clerk glared and shouted rudely.

Shit, the world is upside down! He actually dared to speak to a former Gu Cultivator like that. He’s really asking for a longer life span. Lin Tian witnessed what could be called ignorance; if you’re incompetent, you shouldn’t talk too much, otherwise you might die one day without knowing how.

Lin Tian stepped forward, grabbed the clerk’s collar, and lifted him up directly.

"Who are you? Let... let go of me!" The clerk shouted, his legs kicking and his hands trying to pry Lin Tian’s hands away, but he couldn’t move Lin Tian at all.

This conflict garnered the attention of everyone in the store, but most of the customers were outspoken young people who even began to whistle at the sight of a scuffle.

"Put him down. The boss knows you’re here. I’ll take you to her," a woman in her thirties came out and said to Lin Tian.

Already knows? Lin Tian was taken aback. How did the boss know without being informed? Wasn’t she said to be not in the store?

Lin Tian looked up and swept his gaze over every corner of the ceiling, noticing several particularly well-hidden cameras. However, they couldn’t escape his gaze. It was likely that this so-called boss had spotted the visitors through the surveillance systems.

He didn’t call her out on this; some witches liked to play mysterious, making people think they had the power to foresee the future, but it was all nonsense.

Lin Tian threw the clerk down and sneered, "In the future, learn to respect your elders. If you don’t have the ability, don’t be so arrogant. It’s not good for you to offend people recklessly."

Lin Tian had seen many arrogant clerks in jewelry stores, cosmetic shops, or high-end clothing stores, where the staff naturally felt superior, showing contempt and indifference to ordinary people, sometimes even mocking and ridiculing them, acting as if they were the owners, and many people had experienced their disdainful gazes.

The male clerk bowed his head and dared not look at Lin Tian. He was the one at fault first and lost his nerve when he met someone tough.

The woman who came out didn’t say much and turned to walk inside. Lin Tian and his group followed her inside.

Oddly, the woman didn’t go upstairs but instead opened a door and headed down into the basement. The descending spiral staircase was well-lit with lamps, making it bright. It didn’t take long before they reached the basement. Once the people were brought in, she left on her own.

It was a large hall with no other rooms in sight, but the hall was filled with many objects. In the middle against the wall was a table with fruits and steamed buns as offerings. Three sticks of incense were quietly burning in the incense burner, sending up wisps of blue smoke.

All these items were tributes to a stone statue, not of the Goddess of Mercy or any legendary Heavenly God; it was quite abstract, and Lin Tian couldn’t make out what it was.

A woman sat facing away from Lin Tian and the others, kneeling in front of the offering table, her long hair draped over her shoulders. She was wearing a black gauze dress, which was surprisingly translucent, revealing the skin beneath.

So strange, with skin as fair and delicate as this woman’s, she didn’t resemble an old crone. Instead, she seemed like a beautiful young lady when seen from behind.

Could it be that this wasn’t the Grass Witch but her disciple? Lin Tian suspected in his heart and could only deduce this much.

Sang Lin was about to speak when a woman’s voice suddenly rang out.

"Don’t disturb the master, please remain calm and be patient."

The voice came unexpectedly, yet there was no one else in the room. It wasn’t the woman in the black dress on the ground who had spoken but then who was it?

Lin Tian narrowed his eyes and looked toward the wall on the right. All of a sudden, the wall opened to reveal a hidden door, and a young woman stepped out from it.

She appeared to be in her early twenties, with a beautiful clear face and fine features, long hair draping over her shoulders, and a black gauze dress. Lin Tian could see her undergarments beneath, and she had quite an attractive figure.

What kind of trick was this, and why were both women dressed so seductively appealing? Could it be that modern-day Gu Cultivators also understood fashion and loved to dress up? Lin Tian was truly baffled.

But as he stared unblinkingly at the beauty’s body, the beauty had already noticed and was glaring at Lin Tian with her eyebrows inverted, anger flashing in her eyes.

"Lin Tian, mind where you’re looking; don’t anger the people here," Miss whispered, tugging at Lin Tian’s clothes.

Probably because of the woman in the hall, the girl didn’t physically throw people out and temporarily suppressed her anger.

"Aunt Sang, why did you bring such a person here? He bullied our shop assistant just now, and now he’s disturbing the master’s worship of the Gu God. He should be punished!" yet she turned to Sang Lin and spoke with dissatisfaction.

Lin Tian heard this and pursed his lips, a cold snort in his heart. Worshipping the Gu God, these Gu Cultivators wouldn’t be deluding themselves, convincing themselves into believing in something that’s taken too seriously, believing in the existence of gods in this world.

"Who asked you not to carry mobile phones, causing Aunt Sang to arrive without a heads-up. Can you blame Aunt Sang?" Lin Tian saw the young girl getting angry at Sang Lin and was very displeased. Gu Cultivators think they’re impressive? Well, I’m a zombie!

"You... what do you know? After we take a bath and change clothes to worship the Gu God, we can’t touch those things. Get out, you’re not welcome here!" The young girl had a very bad first impression of Lin Tian, so she spoke unceremoniously.

"Little Li, calm down. This Lin Tian, Brother Lin, has come to see your master on very urgent business, with a human life at stake," Sang Lin soothed the young girl.

The girl surnamed Li didn’t seem to appreciate it and was still huffing with anger. Lin Tian’s behavior had truly enraged her.

"I don’t care about his so-called human life at stake. Everyone who comes here claims it’s a matter of life and death. Can we handle it all? Get out!" Little Li huffed.

Damn, taking too many liberties, can you believe I would tear down your shop with a punch? A mighty zombie can’t stand being angered by a little girl. You dress like that, I can’t help but look; if you have the guts, dress more modestly instead of wearing see-through clothes, Lin Tian thought with a flash of anger in his eyes, ready to explode.

However, the woman in the middle of the hall moved. She slowly stood up and turned to face Lin Tian with an expressionless face, giving no indication of whether she was angry or indifferent.

But this woman was quite beautiful, not looking like some old woman in her seventies or eighties. The texture of the skin on her face was delicate, not at all like an elderly person’s, at most in her thirties!

"Grandmother, this man named Lin Tian hit our staff member and wanted to defile the Gu God. He deserves to be punished before being thrown out!" Little Li shouted.

Grandmother! The young girl was actually calling that beautiful woman grandmother! Lin Tian’s eyes bulged in disbelief, unable to trust his ears. What the heck, she looked young enough to be a mother, and yet she’s a grandmother, what kind of justice was that!

He turned his head to look at Sang Lin for confirmation, and Sang Lin nodded, indicating that she was indeed Little Li’s grandmother!
