Chapter 837: Chapter 834: Zhang Lingyu’s Gift

Regarding his own origins, Lin Tian wasn’t without concerns; he once very eagerly wanted to learn about his background and had strenuously investigated it. But back then, he was just a high school freshman, and any investigation seemed so powerless.

Now his abilities were stronger than before, and he had even considered asking Rossi or Ghost to investigate, or, if that didn’t work, asking Ning Luoxi for help. Given Ning Luoxi’s skills and background, she could likely uncover his origins, but in the end, Lin Tian did not take any action.

Perhaps after becoming a zombie, his mindset changed, or maybe he wasn’t ready yet.

"Xiao Tian, I promise you, after the college entrance exams, I will set off for the Yun Family, even if it’s not for my own origins, then for the old man’s illness," Lin Tian solemnly promised.

"Really?" Yun Xiaotian was instantly overjoyed, then happily laughed, "Thank you, Brother Lin, no matter what the outcome is, you will always be Brother Lin."

"Haha, if I accidentally become your real brother and split the Yun Family’s fortune, don’t you cry about it," Lin Tian chuckled, speaking about wealth very openly, as if he regarded the Yun Family’s vast fortune as mere joss paper.

"I’m already an adult; I won’t cry." Yun Xiaotian’s face turned red, yet he still lifted his face defiantly.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, my goodness, the kid’s blush actually has a charming allure, Lin Tian’s eyes widened as he watched, but when he snapped back to reality, he got a shiver.

Dammit, agreeing to go to this kid’s home, could it be a mistake? This kid, spending too much time with him would make any man doubt themselves, Lin Tian thought with some frustration.

The possibility of becoming the eldest son of the Yun Family makes most people think of how much fortune they could inherit, but Lin Tian was thinking about whether he’d get bent by Yun Xiaotian; it was a thought begging for trouble.

Yun Xiaotian had no idea of Lin Tian’s odd thoughts, he just kept laughing, still immersed in the joy of potentially finding his true brother.

At the next intersection, Lin Tian stopped the car and let Yun Xiaotian out; the kid had been giggling constantly, and Lin Tian couldn’t bear watching anymore.

"Brother Lin, remember our agreement, after the college entrance exams, you must come to my home," Yun Xiaotian waved smilingly.

"Rest assured, when I, Lin Tian, say something, I mean it," Lin Tian assured with great certainty, so the kid wouldn’t worry and come looking for him at school.

With such a pretty and delicate boy showing up in senior year class one looking for him, Lin Tian could already imagine the way those guys would look, definitely indulging in vivid imaginings, assuming the reason he’d always been single was due to some peculiar preference.

After parting ways with Yun Xiaotian, Lin Tian continued driving back to the Xiao Mansion; the villa was empty, no little nurse, no Second Miss. He called out a few times, and instead of Second Miss, it was the aunt responsible for the kitchen who came out.

"Anything for Xiao Tian?" the aunt asked curiously.

This aunt had worked at the Xiao Family for over ten years, watching the Xiao sisters grow up, specifically in charge of their meals and accommodation, and the Xiao Family took great care of her. In ancient times, she would at least be considered a senior steward.

Initially, she addressed Lin Tian as Mr. Lin, but Lin Tian wasn’t accustomed to it, so after several corrections, and having lived there for so long, they became familiar, thus she started calling him Xiao Tian.

"Aunt Yu, hasn’t Second Miss returned?" Lin Tian asked curiously. He and Yun Xiaotian went to get medicinal herbs smoothly; time was primarily spent on the road, with a round trip of one hour. By reason, the little girl should have returned.

"She came back half an hour ago, with a female classmate, but Second Miss left again, taking Little Hua with her, I think to play at the classmate’s house," Aunt Yu replied.

"I see, I understand," Lin Tian said, yet felt a little strange; Zhang Lingyu had never brought classmates over to play at her house, this was the first time.

Even though Zhang Lingyu lived in the same villa district, this district wasn’t small, and despite living here for so long, Lin Tian didn’t even know which villa she lived in—a very mysterious person.

Lin Tian had lunch, then went back to begin his daily necessary cultivation. As his cultivation was nearing completion, he heard cheerful footsteps in the stairs; this was Xiao Manxuan’s walking sound, Lin Tian had become very familiar with it.

The footsteps grew closer, followed by the sound of knocking and the little girl’s voice: "Lin Tian, come out quickly..."

The little girl’s voice was somewhat urgent. Lin Tian thought something happened, so he immediately flashed to the outside of the door and opened it, only to see the little girl’s smiling face.

"What’s so urgent?" Lin Tian asked curiously.

"Look at this, what is it?" Xiao Manxuan stretched out her hand from behind her back, holding a red string, underneath it was a small ornament, looking like something to hang around the neck.

"Is this a peace charm?" Lin Tian asked.

"Yes, it’s a peace charm Sister Yu gave me; it’s the first gift Sister Yu has given me, so I’m very happy," Xiao Manxuan said with a cheerful smile. Although it was just an inexpensive peace charm, she was very satisfied.

A peace charm from Zhang Lingyu? Lin Tian slightly furrowed his brows; after knowing each other for so long, she hadn’t given anything, yet today she suddenly gave a peace charm, which sounded very odd.

"Why did Zhang Lingyu suddenly give you a peace charm?" Lin Tian inquired suspiciously.

Xiao Manxuan shook her head, saying, "I don’t know either, Sister Yu invited me to her house to play today and gave it to me. But it’s so strange, the entire villa had only Sister Yu, no servants, and no sight of her parents or siblings; wouldn’t Sister Yu be afraid at night? If it were me, I’d be scared."

A villa with only Zhang Lingyu, which Lin Tian hadn’t expected, he assumed Zhang Lingyu was also a rich young lady, then trained in ancient martial arts, thus not only could afford a sports car but also had impressive skills.

But living alone is quite abnormal; even if her parents weren’t in Xikou City, there should be at least servants, but there were none. Lin Tian could only think of one possibility—that place wasn’t Zhang Lingyu’s home at all, but merely a temporary stopover.

Zhang Lingyu appeared seemingly out of nowhere, with no sign, becoming a senior year class one student. An idea suddenly flashed in Lin Tian’s mind, whether it’s the school or address, where Zhang Lingyu appeared, there’s always the shadow of Xiao Manxuan or the Xiao Family; could it be that Zhang Lingyu is here for the Xiao Family?

Still, Lin Tian indeed didn’t sense any hostility from Zhang Lingyu, really not knowing what the little girl’s purpose was?

"Second Miss, let me take a look at the peace charm," Lin Tian said.

"You’re so serious, is there something wrong with the peace charm?" Xiao Manxuan asked curiously, but still handed the peace charm in her hand to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian didn’t say anything, took the peace charm, and thoroughly examined it. The exterior was very ordinary, no different from those sold in accessory shops.

Could I be overthinking it? Lin Tian puzzledly thought, activating his X-ray vision, looking towards the peace charm. As soon as the perspective gaze touched the peace charm, Lin Tian immediately felt a faint energy fluctuation.
