Chapter 583: Chapter 580 Yun Xiaotian’s Investigation

For crying out loud, you can even find a golden thread from the Ghost Valley Inheritor at a roadside stall. Could Zi Yan be the legendary novel protagonist who just stumbles upon Immortal Pills and Divine Artifacts when stepping outside? Lin Tian’s mind was overrun with wild and fanciful thoughts.

Otherwise, there was no way to explain why Zi Yan would have the golden thread but possess mediocre medical skills, not even having fully mastered the Nine Needle Technique.

"Mr. Lin?" Second Young Master Yun noticed Lin Tian deep in thought, even appearing somewhat distracted, and gently reminded him.

"Oh, where were we? Right, you think I’m a genuine Ghost Valley Inheritor and you’re inviting me to treat your elder brother, right?" Lin Tian cast away the messy thoughts and repeated.

Second Young Master Yun’s face lit up, excitedly saying, "Yes, yes, Mr. Lin, have you agreed?"

"Uh, Second Young Master Yun, I think you’ve misunderstood what I said. Matters of life and death are serious, and I don’t want to lie to you. To be honest with you, I also don’t know if this golden thread is authentic because it was given to me by someone else. So, you see, I am not actually a Ghost Valley Inheritor," Lin Tian told the truth sincerely.

This involved the life and death of Old Master Yun, a human life, so Lin Tian didn’t want to give Second Young Master Yun any false hope and potentially delay the treatment.

"This..." Second Young Master Yun was somewhat anxious, thinking Lin Tian was simply making up a reason to refuse to help with the treatment.

"Brother Lin, is it really not possible?" Yun Xiaotian looked at him with hopeful eyes and asked.

Damn it, don’t look at me with those eyes; you always make me think you’re a woman, Lin Tian thought to himself, feeling incredibly uncomfortable as he met Yun Xiaotian’s bright, large eyes.

He spoke with earnestness, "I understand how you feel, but the absolute truth is that I am not a Ghost Valley Inheritor. You shouldn’t get your hopes up too high."

"What about my grandfather?" Yun Xiaotian asked worriedly.

There’s just no helping it; I’m a soft touch but not a hard line. Lin Tian sighed as he looked into Yun Xiaotian’s pitiful eyes.

He stated solemnly, "Alright, although I can’t be certain whether I’m a genuine Ghost Valley Inheritor or not, I did learn some of the unique skills from Gui Guzi. If you trust me, I can take a look at your grandfather."

Lin Tian couldn’t be sure of the origin of the golden thread, but the Nine Needle Technique was indeed a true Ghost Valley secret art. Since he had learned the Acupuncture Skill, he could be considered half a disciple; he couldn’t disgrace his great master, could he?

"Really?" Second Young Master Yun exclaimed with joy, feeling as if he had just found light at the end of the tunnel.

"Is it really true?" Yun Xiaotian wore the same expression, looking at Lin Tian gratefully.

Damn it, not with that look again. Even if I don’t mistake you for a woman, others might think there’s something more between us, Lin Tian felt incredibly conflicted. I mean, for a boy to be so fair and handsome, what’s the point?

Lin Tian helplessly said, "I’m an honest man; why would I deceive you? Besides, didn’t I promise you, Yun Xiaotian? When I have free time, I plan to visit your household."

"Oh, there’s one more thing." Lin Tian remembered something and reminded them, "I’d like to recommend someone to you. Her name is Zi Yan, and she’s the owner of Beauty Parlor. You could try telling her about the Ghost Valley Inheritor story and see if she can help you. That’s all for now; I have something else to attend to, so I can’t accompany you, but we’ll keep in touch later. Here’s my mobile number."

Lin Tian didn’t mention that the golden thread was a gift from Zi Yan. Since Zi Yan preferred not to be too clear about certain things, he wouldn’t press her. Suggesting that Yun family’s grandfather and grandson should go see her seemed like a decent idea.

Yun Xiaotian took down the number and thanked him, "Thank you, Brother Lin. We will go find Zi Yan you mentioned. You go ahead with your matters; we won’t bother you any longer."

Lin Tian nodded and left the ancient tower.

Second Young Master Yun watched Lin Tian’s retreating figure and said to Yun Xiaotian, "Do you think what Lin Tian said was true? The temperament of a Ghost Valley Inheritor is rather peculiar. Is it possible he doesn’t want to reveal his identity?"

"I’ve never met a Ghost Valley Inheritor, nor do I understand them well, but my gut tells me that Brother Lin’s words don’t seem to be false," Yun Xiaotian said.

If Lin Tian were still here, hearing this, he might have thought of him as a woman again, for only women talk about intuition, which is naturally sharp in women, while men trust facts more than eloquence, one of the differences between men and women.

Second Young Master Yun sighed, "Regardless, encountering a lead related to the Ghost Valley Inheritor after more than a decade is still a hope, otherwise in a few more years, we really wouldn’t know what would become of big brother."

"Grandpa said that he has picked up a decade or so of life. He’s content with it, and even if King Yan summoned him now, he would have no regrets or complaints," Yun Xiaotian said softly.

"Big brother is open-minded, but there’s always one regret in his heart, which is to find out the whereabouts of your older brother Yun Tian within his lifetime, whether he is dead or alive, somehow. But after going missing for more than a decade, Yun Tian’s appearance would have changed drastically compared to a baby’s, and finding him would be anything but easy," said Second Young Master Yun with emotion.

"Second Grandpa, do you think, does this Lin Tian resemble my big brother?" Yun Xiaotian suddenly asked.

"Lin Tian, resemble your big brother?" Second Young Master Yun was stunned, then frowned in thought before saying, "By age, it seems to match quite well, and he also has the single name ’Tian’."

Yun Xiaotian added, "Second Grandpa, I’ve looked into this matter and checked Lin Tian’s background. He’s an orphan with unknown parents, taken in by someone, and is currently a senior at Xikou City High School."

"An orphan?" Second Young Master Yun was surprised and said, "If he’s an orphan with unknown parents, his information matches even more closely with your older brother Yun Tian."

"Second Grandpa, this isn’t something we can rush. Let me handle it. I’m worried that if you act too hastily, it could irritate Brother Lin, who has a difficult temperament. If a conflict arises during the investigation, it could ruin everything," Yun Xiaotian reminded.

Second Young Master Yun nodded and said, "Xiao Tian, you’ve thought this through very carefully. Let’s not tell your grandfather about this for now; the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."

"Alright, I understand," Yun Xiaotian acknowledged.

At another location in Tianfu Restaurant, Lin Tian was walking down the street when he suddenly sneezed.

Zombies can sneeze too? Could it be that some woman is thinking of me? Lin Tian thought narcissistically.

"Lin Tian, you look so smug, are you plotting something against some girl again?" A woman’s voice came.

Of course, Lin Tian knew who it was, none other than Ning Luoxi, who was on lookout duty.

"Miss Luoxi really understands me. I was just having some wicked thoughts about you in my mind. Aren’t you afraid?" Lin Tian teased.

"I can’t control what you think since your head is on your shoulders, but do you only think and never act?" Ning Luoxi retorted unabashedly.

"Saying that, I take it you’re hinting that I should do something about it," he replied.

He was engrossed in looking when a faint whooshing sound suddenly came from afar.

"Someone’s trying to escape!" Lin Tian said with narrowed eyes.
