Chapter 704: Chapter 701: Return to the Country

Lin Tian recognized the voice as Miss Xiao’s, he got up and walked out of the room, while Xiao Manxuan also hurriedly put down her eating utensils and curiously followed.

When the elder Miss Xiao saw her sister coming out of Lin Tian’s room, she couldn’t help but put on a stern look and gave Xiao Manxuan a glare. However, when she saw the rice grains still at the corner of her sister’s mouth, she couldn’t help but smile helplessly, unable to muster any real anger.

"Clean your mouth quickly," Miss Xiao said. Xiao Manxuan smiled sheepishly and hurried to tidy herself up.

"Who’s looking for me?" Lin Tian asked directly, regardless of the sisters’ situation.

"You’ll know once you go outside," Miss Xiao did not answer directly.

Lin Tian felt a bit strange, took a few steps towards the door, then turned back and said, "Miss Xiao, I have a question. Second Miss’s Ancient Martial talent is no less than yours, so why won’t you let her train in Ancient Martial Arts?"

Xiao Manxuan looked expectantly at her sister, but Miss Xiao’s expression turned serious as she coldly said, "Xuanxuan, did you ask Lin Tian to come and plead on your behalf?"

Seeing that her sister was truly angry, Xiao Manxuan didn’t dare to speak, but the pouting of her lips showed her inner dissatisfaction.

"Miss Xiao, it has nothing to do with Second Miss; it was I who wanted to ask," Lin Tian said with a slight frown. Miss Xiao’s reaction seemed a bit too intense—he was even more puzzled.

"It’s no use whoever asks," Miss Xiao said bluntly and harshly, "I have my reasons for not allowing her to practice Ancient Martial Arts, and I hope you will not teach Ancient Martial Arts to Xuanxuan either, Lin Tian."

Miss Xiao’s tone was very firm, showing no room for negotiation. Xiao Manxuan stuck out her tongue and tugged at Lin Tian’s clothes, signaling him to drop the subject.

"Lin Tian, aren’t you going? The visitor might get impatient," Xiao Manxue also reminded and urged him.

Although Miss Xiao was a bit domineering, she was usually reasonable, but when it came to her sister learning Ancient Martial Arts, she became quite unreasonable.

Lin Tian shook his head slightly, thinking it was better to understand the reason first—otherwise, Miss Xiao was set in her decision. He didn’t bring it up again and walked outside; the Xiao sisters followed him out.

It was only when they reached the outside of the Tianfu Restaurant that Lin Tian finally saw the person who was looking for him and understood why they hadn’t come inside.

The visitor was Thunder Wolf and his group from Ghost, and behind them parked a cargo truck covered with a tarp, making it impossible to see what was inside.

"Boss, good afternoon!" The group led by Stone greeted in unison with powerful voices, attracting the attention of those entering and exiting the restaurant.

"Man, you guys look pretty spirited. The battle last night must have been easy for you. I should think about giving you a tougher mission next time," Lin Tian joked upon seeing their high spirits.

Ghost smiled and said, "Last night, Brother Tian was the star of the battle; we hardly put in any effort. These kiddos naturally had it easy. They ought to be pulled out for a tough drill, so they don’t rust up!"

"Please give us the mission, boss, we’re always ready!" Stone and his group joked lightly. Last night’s battle was indeed strange, but it ended in one night, and compared to their previous battles that lasted three days and nights, it was definitely a breeze.

"You think it’s wartime or something? Where are so many missions coming from? This mission is over, indulge if you want to, do whatever you need to," Lin Tian gestured with his hand.

At this moment, the Xiao sisters came out, and naturally, the group was momentarily dazzled. Thunder Wolf said, "Brothers, the sister-in-law is here. Say hello to sister-in-law."

"Sisters-in-law, hello!" Stone and the others shouted again, and whether it was intentional or not, they included both sisters.

Thunder Wolf gave Lin Tian a sly smile, as if to say, Brother Lin, I did a good job helping out, right? Little did he know, Miss Xiao gave him a cold glance. As an Ancient Martial Artist who had reached the Postnatal Perfection Realm, her gaze was full of momentum. Not only did Thunder Wolf back down, but Stone and his group immediately fell silent as well.

Lin Tian shook his head, amused. Miss Xiao’s jokes weren’t something to be taken lightly, let alone ones about both sisters at once. When this little girl’s temper flared up, she wasn’t even afraid of her own father, Lin Tian thought helplessly.

Ghost patted Stone, warning, "Don’t talk nonsense, Miss Xiao is a master of the sword among Ancient Martial Artists."

Lin Tian chimed in at the right moment, "Brother Thunder Wolf, where’s your instructor? Just you by yourself?"

"The instructor went back to the country first. She entrusted us with bringing something to Brother Lin Tian. She said it’s very important to you," Thunder Wolf replied earnestly, no longer daring to joke around.

He waved his hand, and someone carrying a portable safe stepped forward. When the safe was opened, it revealed a dozen books, among which were "Shennong Emperor’s Medical Scripture" and "Pharmacist’s Notes."

"The instructor said that to prevent damage, every manuscript has been copied, for your convenience while reading. Additionally, there’s a medicinal cauldron in the truck behind us," Thunder Wolf added.

"Miss Luoxi has thought of everything. I’ll thank her on your behalf," Lin Tian said as he took the safe.

"Heh, you should probably thank the instructor in person. Now that the items are with Brother Lin, I’ll be returning to my country as well. Brother Lin, until we meet again," Thunder Wolf said solemnly.

Lin Tian nodded, then turned to Ghost, "There’s nothing left for me here. You all can head back."

"Sure, Brother Tian. See you back home," Ghost replied, nodding. Then he left with the group and Thunder Wolf, taking another vehicle and leaving the truck behind.

"Lin Tian, you’re usually so easygoing. I didn’t expect you to command such respect," Miss Xiao said, laughing.

"You flatter me, Miss. With this matter concluded, we should probably head back to our country too. Second Miss and I still have our studies to complete," Lin Tian said, not wishing to stay in Japan any longer.

"I’ve already made the arrangements. You both don’t need to attend the international jewelry design competition. You and Xuanxuan will head back first; Mom and I will finish things here before returning," Miss Xiao said.

"When’s the flight?" Lin Tian asked, to the point.

"In two hours. The Xiao Family’s private jet will be ready to take off. Prepare to head back. I’ll arrange for your things to be loaded onto the plane," Miss Xiao had already planned everything neatly.

"Sister, come back early," Xiao Manxuan said, a bit reluctantly.

Miss Xiao gently stroked her sister’s hair and instructed, "I will. As soon as the jewelry design competition is over, Mom and I will return. You’ll be alone at home; remember what your sister told you, and don’t let a certain wolf take advantage of you, okay?"

Xiao Manxuan glanced at Lin Tian, nodded obediently, and Lin Tian knew that the "certain wolf" Miss Xiao was referring to was him.

An hour later, Lin Tian stood at the international airport in Kyoto City. Before that, he had already phoned Rossi to return to the country.

In front of him, the Xiao Family’s plane towered on the tarmac, back to its regular flights after the last midair scare.
