Chapter 792: Chapter 789: Turbulence Again

At this moment, Lin Tian had already appeared in the underground parking lot. He had just accelerated his speed and quickly left Shen Xiaolan behind. Because of his swift departure, she didn’t even realize that he had vanished.

It was a necessary action, for Lin Tian didn’t want to give up his virginity just like that, nor could he injure Shen Xiaolan’s self-esteem. After all, in the Xiao Group, she was an ally of the young lady. Since he couldn’t confront her, the only option left was to evade her.

What Lin Tian didn’t know was that Shen Xiaolan had become more interested in him after discovering his disappearance, seemingly determined to have him.

However, that was someone else’s thoughts, and Lin Tian couldn’t control them. He got his car and drove away from the Xiao Group, heading to the Xiao Mansion.

On the way there, Lin Tian received a message from the Miss, which read only one sentence: "Big pervert, I see sometimes you’re not that lecherous."

From the content of the message, Lin Tian knew that the young lady upstairs had seen the whole conversation with Shen Xiaolan.

Is the young lady so concerned about this? Could the little girl have a secret crush on me? Lin Tian thought very narcissistically and then cheekily replied to the young lady with a message: "If it had been you, Miss, I think I wouldn’t have refused."

Lin Tian wasn’t lying; had those words been spoken by the young lady instead of Shen Xiaolan, he would have readily accepted the invitation.

Of course, Lin Tian knew that was impossible. With the young lady’s character, even towards someone she liked, she would never say something so overtly blunt and explicit.

After sending out this message, Lin Tian immediately received an angry emoji. He could imagine the little girl was grinding her teeth in frustration, wishing she could chop him through the air.

Lin Tian didn’t reply again, humming a song cheerfully as he made his way back to the Xiao Mansion. Teasing the young lady once in a while surely made his everyday life quite meaningful.

The afternoon was still spent in class, as tranquil as ever. The only thing that made Lin Tian happy was that Fang Ming had returned from her business trip.

The evening was still for reading, cultivating, and performing the Blood Sacrifice on the Crescent Blade. Unfortunately, the Crescent Blade still showed no reaction, leaving Lin Tian unsure of how far away he was from the realm of Sword Control.

After the shareholder meeting, life seemed to become monotonous. Lin Tian’s days was spent going to school with Xiao Manxuan and relentlessly cultivating, also studying the profession of pharmacist.

He had gained a lot of insights from "Shennong Emperor’s Medical Scripture" and "Pharmacist Notes," but becoming a pharmacist still seemed far away. Despite the many elixir recipes in the scriptures and notes, he didn’t even know how to concoct the simplest medicine.

So, the days were filled like this for two days, during which Ghost had called, as per the young lady’s instructions, to move a batch of medicinal materials. Lin Tian authorized Ghost to go ahead with it, all as prearranged.

That morning, Lin Tian drove the bulletproof car, taking Xiao Manxuan to school. As soon as they arrived in the classroom, Fatty Huang grabbed him.

"Brother Tian, something’s happened," Fatty Huang said in a way that was all over the place.

"Unless the sky is falling, what could possibly be the matter? Speak slowly, what’s the rush?" Lin Tian said casually. In his view, only if the sky fell would it count as a big deal.

Fatty Huang cleared his throat and said, "Our school’s doctor, that Lai Xiucheng, apparently fell from a building the day before yesterday, and seems to be seriously injured. He’s been hospitalized."

"How do you know?" Lin Tian asked curiously.

"I was playing basketball with some friends from other classes yesterday, and someone sprained his ankle. We were going to take him to the doctor’s office for treatment, but nobody was there. When we inquired, we found out that Lao Lai had had an accident," Fatty Huang explained briefly.

"Did something really happen?" Lin Tian whispered, and then frowned, "Could it be that they’re framing me for this?"

His conflict with Lai Xiucheng in the girls’ dormitory building was common knowledge, and things had gotten pretty heated, with both sides exchanging blows. If something happened to Lai Xiucheng, people might suspect it was Lin Tian seeking revenge.

Now that something had indeed happened, a fall from a building no less, it wouldn’t be surprising if some started gossiping that Lin Tian sought revenge and pushed Lai Xiucheng from the building.

Fatty Huang scratched his head and replied, "I haven’t heard any rumors like that yet. We all know what Brother Tian is like. For someone like Lai Xiucheng, he definitely wouldn’t stoop to underhanded tactics; if he were to deal with him, he’d beat him up fair and square."

"You’re not wrong. If I were to take revenge, it’d also be out in the open, a fair fight. I wouldn’t bother using underhanded tactics against such petty people; he’s not worth it," Lin Tian said with disdain.

"But Brother Tian, you didn’t do it, yet that doesn’t stop someone from stirring the pot, like..." Fatty Huang was somewhat worried for Lin Tian.

"Are you talking about Sun Decai?" Lin Tian helped him complete the sentence.

"Right, that bastard. Sun Decai has the biggest grudge against you. Who knows if he’ll go around spreading lies," Fatty Huang cursed loudly.

Lin Tian patted him on the shoulder, telling him to calm down, and then smiled, "Heh, just pretend nothing happened and focus on your studies. I’ve got this under control."

"Alright, Brother Tian, you also have to be careful with those villains. If there’s ever a need for Fatty Huang, just say the word. I might be all fat, but when it comes to fighting, I’ve never been afraid," Fatty Huang said with a sense of loyalty.

"Yeah, and though I’m not tall, Brother Tian, I can still take down a few guys if needed," Gao Le also said, thumping his chest.

The boys from senior class one all expressed their willingness to stand by Lin Tian, except for Chen Herun, who seemed to be lost in thought.

Gao Le patted his shoulder and laughed, "You bookworm, are you scared?"

Chen Herun looked up at everyone then earnestly said, "I was just pondering over an issue."

"What issue could be more important than Brother Tian’s situation?" Fatty Huang asked curiously.

Without getting annoyed, Chen Herun answered seriously, "I’ve been considering what the best weapon to use in a group fight would be. I’ve been researching a weapon called the Wolf Fang Club. Its design is very interesting. Based on my calculations, its weight distribution is perfect for swinging. It can cause a lot of pain and quickly incapacitate someone without easily causing death, making it ideal for group fights."

His words left everyone stunned, including Lin Tian. This math prodigy really was different from ordinary people, thinking about such startling and unconventional things like the Wolf Fang Club.

Sweat beaded on Gao Le’s forehead, and after staring at Chen Herun for a while, he finally stammered, "Nerd, you’re incredible. Forget what I said earlier."

"Alright, brothers and sisters, I’ll take care of this matter. You all just focus on studying for the college entrance exams. Anyone who wants to mess with me should be prepared to face serious consequences," Lin Tian confidently said, and his confidence came so naturally.

As he returned to his seat, Lin Tian turned his head again and asked Fatty Huang, "Oh, right, you mentioned Lai Xiucheng was hospitalized. Do you know which hospital?"

"Renxin Hospital, I think it’s a private one," Fatty Huang said, taken aback, then answered.
