Chapter 764: Chapter 761 Ning Luoxi Really Left

Lin Tian was dumbfounded, completely baffled by Miss’s sudden attitude change. The little girl had made a complete one-eighty turn; she was angry at first and now was expressing gratitude. What was going on?

Looking at the charming smile on Miss’s face, Lin Tian suddenly understood; it wasn’t that the little girl didn’t want to make a move on Sun Hai, the Store Manager’s son, she had actually been itching to do so for a while.

Lin Tian helplessly said, "Miss, can I just say that I’ve been used by you?"

"How can you say ’used’? I just lacked a reason, a reason convincing enough for me and for mom, to go against grandfather’s rules. I knew that with your eloquence, you could definitely achieve that. You should be happy, you totally convinced me," Miss laughed.

"What’s the use of convincing if it isn’t about convincing you to be my woman? What’s there to be happy about?" Lin Tian said with a curl of his lip.

"Tsk, who wants to be your woman, you big pervert," Miss’s pretty face flushed red as she spoke coyly.

Xiao Manxuan also snorted, "Big pervert, don’t get any funny ideas."

Seeing the two beauties ganging up on Lin Tian, Liu Wenxing pretended to continue looking at the electronics on the ground, and Lin Tian lamented once more the perils of choosing friends carelessly.

"Since you’ve decided to go after him, do you have a plan, Miss?" Lin Tian asked directly, no longer dwelling on the title of ’big pervert’ assigned to him.

"Since you’ve said so much, you must have a plan in mind. Why don’t you share it?" Miss still said with a smile.

Miss’s intelligence was indeed not for show. Lin Tian replied with a smile, "Miss is really clever; nothing gets past you. But right now, I can’t say anything yet. I’m still waiting on some things."

"Waiting for what? Come on Lin Tian, tell me, or I’ll be too curious to sleep tonight," said Xiao Manxuan impatiently.

"Can’t sleep? Just think of me and you’ll fall asleep," Lin Tian joked.

"Hmph, who would think of you? You’re so shameless," Xiao Manxuan blushed as she spoke, her words betraying her true feelings.

Miss saw that Lin Tian dared to tease her sister right in front of her. Her face turned stern, ready to explode with anger, but a sudden ringtone from a cell phone interrupted everyone’s thoughts. All three looked at Lin Tian; the ringing was coming from him.

"Damn, I was talking about serious stuff, who is bothering me?" Lin Tian pulled out his phone and complained loudly.

He saw an unfamiliar number on his phone and was somewhat surprised. Why were there so many unknown numbers recently? He then answered the call.

"It’s me, Ning Luoxi." The voice from the other end was brief, and the first sentence made her identity clear. It was Ning Luoxi, whom he hadn’t seen for a few days.

After not seeing her for a few days, Lin Tian realized he kind of missed this beautiful Female Warrior. Although the girl could be too savage and violent at times, after the battle at the Shrine, beyond the camaraderie, there seemed to be something more between them.

In fact, Ning Luoxi was a very straightforward person. Being with her was comfortable and easygoing; no need to overthink—just talking and acting straight was enough. The little girl wasn’t really like what Ning Weiguo and Aunt Fang said, sending men to the hospital at the drop of a hat.

Miss’s gaze flickered, obviously having also heard the voice from the phone. As a fellow Ancient Martial Artist, she had a very deep impression of Ning Luoxi, who had wrecked their family’s gym at their first meeting.

It wasn’t that she cared about a gym, but Ning Luoxi’s Cultivation Technique had left a deep impression on her: fierce and explosive, capable of holding her own against Lin Tian—it was entirely different from the sharp and agile way of the sword.

"What do you need, Miss Luoxi?" Lin Tian’s mind drifted to the girl’s impressively fit body, asking distractedly.

"You’ve only been gone for two days, and you already forgot that you left something with me?" Ning Luoxi said simply.

Though it was a simple statement, it led others to misunderstand, like Miss, who thought that Lin Tian and Ning Luoxi had a date and he had left something at her place.

However, Lin Tian remembered what it was, and said, "Where did you put it? I urgently need those things."

"I’ve already had someone deliver them to your Tianxuan Special Guard Base," Ning Luoxi replied.

"That’s good, with Ghost and Stone there, I don’t think anyone would dare to touch those things," Lin Tian said with a smile.

He didn’t have a storage place, and it was impossible to transport everything to the Xiao Mansion; there was just too much stuff. Only the Tianxuan Special Guard Training Base was suitable for storing it all.

"Uh, Miss Luoxi, aren’t you coming out to have fun for a couple of days after getting back? Aren’t you tired of doing missions all the time?" Lin Tian added.

Ning Luoxi didn’t take long to respond, "I still have things to do, but my dad does want to meet you. He says he’s very grateful for your contributions to the country."

"Contributions?" Lin Tian was puzzled, wondering when he had made contributions significant enough to involve Ning Weiguo.

"Have you forgotten? All that material from the Shrine, do you think it was easy to import?" Ning Luoxi countered.

Lin Tian immediately remembered—the Shrine’s materials had filled five helicopters, and they were large ones, which suggests just how much there was.

"I would be happy to see Uncle Ning, but let’s not talk about the contribution," Lin Tian said bluntly.

"Alright, I’m already back in Jinghua City, and so is my dad. Even if we wanted to meet, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be easy. But both my dad and I want to thank you. It’s a personal thank you. Our biggest achievement on this trip to Xikou City was getting my mother’s forgiveness, and their reconciliation, something I’ve wished for many years," Ning Luoxi sincerely thanked Lin Tian, and for once, said quite a long sentence.

"Don’t worry, with me in Xikou City, I’ll take care of Aunt Fang," Lin Tian said earnestly, though there was a faint sense of loss in his heart. Ning Luoxi had returned to Jinghua City after all, as she was only an instructor, and always went back after completing her missions.

Thinking about the misunderstanding caused by Fang Ming’s drunkenness, leading to a fight the first time they met, Lin Tian also felt nostalgic for the days battling with this Female Warrior. With her gone, who knew when he would see her again.

"My dad wanted me to pass on a message..." Ning Luoxi said.

"What message?" Lin Tian asked curiously, thinking it might be something like taking good care of Fang Ming.

To his surprise, Ning Luoxi said, "The contribution you made this time had a significant impact. Although we haven’t made your name public, the right people know about it, and it’s taken very seriously at the top. While they can’t do much for you directly, if you encounter any difficulties, they can still help you out."

Lin Tian, naturally, had an idea about this. He knew his name could be kept from the general public but not from someone like Ning Weiguo. They might not have offered any direct benefits, but such a promise was more important than any tangible reward.

However, Lin Tian didn’t care about their promises; there were things he preferred to solve by himself, without resorting to others’ help.

"Alright then, that’s the end of the call, goodbye." Ning Luoxi hung up the phone very decisively, but Lin Tian could faintly hear that her voice was not as calm as usual; after all, with this goodbye, it was uncertain when they would meet again.

Just after hanging up the phone, the message alert on Lin Tian’s cell phone rang again.
