126: Chapter 122: Chance Encounter 126: Chapter 122: Chance Encounter “Master!” Qian Xiaohui bit her lower lip and respectfully shouted following her master’s lead.
Then, she took a step back and followed behind Lin Tian.
“Wait!”
Lin Tian suddenly stopped, furrowed his eyebrows, and said, “Old Man Gu, I understand that you’re conventional, but you shouldn’t make your disciple act the sa way!”
“Master, this…”
Gu Liuushui was sowhat puzzled.
“What I an is, when you teach your disciple, just transmit your skills without imposing your old-fashioned rules!”
Lin Tian helplessly shook his head and said, “You can call anything you’d like, but having Xiao Hui also calling ‘Master’ makes feel old!”
With that, Lin Tian turned to Qian Xiaohui and said, “From now on, just call Lin Tian, like when you first arrived!”
Upon hearing this, Qian Xiaohui’s eyes sparkled with joy, and she chirped, “Lin Tian, I understand!”
She knew that Lin Tian was treating her as a friend.
Gu Liuushui’s cloudy eyes also brightened, seemingly excited about sothing, his expression vaguely filled with exhilaration.
After exiting the Treasure Identification Building, Lin Tian didn’t even greet Shen Junlou but left with Gu Liuushui and Qian Xiaohui.
This trip had been sowhat fruitful; he had acquired three top-grade jades, enough for Lin Tian to create several Protection Jade Talismans.
Furthermore, having so many powerful figures help him to collect cultivation resources boosted his confidence in rapidly advancing his cultivation to the formidable Eleventh Layer.
Qian Xiaohui drove the car, accompanying Gu Liuushui to take Lin Tian back to the streets outside the Guanlan Mountain Villa District.
In the car, Gu Liuushui looked at the departing figure of the young man and sighed.
Turning to Qian Xiaohui, he solemnly said, “Xiao Hui, this person is a True Dragon in the pond and will soar even higher in the future.
Rember to befriend him well, but don’t overdo it.
Keep a proper asure; too much fawning over such a person can actually backfire!”
“Disciple understands!”
Qian Xiaohui nodded gravely and started the car, leaving the area with Gu Liuushui.
…
Below Guanlan Mountain.
Lin Tian walked along the verdant pathway outside of Guanlan Road.
At that mont, thinking about returning to Lake Island to concoct so elixirs and cultivate, anticipating his cultivation breakthrough to the Fifth Level of Qi Refining, he felt sowhat impatient.
Just as he was about to approach the district, walking past a rather secluded recreational square, a piercing scream suddenly rang out.
It was already past midnight, and given that the Guanlan Mountain District was close to the suburbs, it was rare to see pedestrians at this ti.
Hearing the cry, Lin Tian paused and then headed towards the sound.
Upon approaching, Lin Tian saw a woman being pinned down by a drunken big man, who seed intent on committing an indecency.
The woman below struggled and scread continuously, her long legs kicking wildly, but the big man’s large build and imnse strength made escaping impossible for her.
Lin Tian frowned, took a quick step forward, grabbed the big man by the arm, and flung him into a nearby puddle.
Drenched, the big man abruptly sobered up and shouted angrily, “Bastard, ruining my fun, you’re asking for it!”
However, as the big man approached, Lin Tian already kicked out, sending him flying.
With a scream of pain, knowing the young man was not to be trifled with, the big man clutched his stomach, got up, and fled in a sorry state.
Seeing the big man flee, Lin Tian couldn’t be bothered to chase after him and turned to look at the woman.
The woman in front of him appeared to be about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, extrely beautiful, with long eyelashes beneath her big eyes that twinkled as if they could speak.
She was dressed in a pink long dress, wearing a pair of red high heels.
Seeing this, Lin Tian couldn’t help but take a few more glances before shaking his head secretly.
Dressed like that and walking alone at night was an invitation for trouble from any prowling wolves!
The woman, seeing the big man being driven away, gently patted her chest with her slender jade hand and gradually cald down.
Lin Tian stepped forward, curled his lips and said, “Are you alright?”
As he spoke, Lin Tian reached out his hand and helped the woman up.
The woman, now calr, also took the ti to look Lin Tian over carefully, noting his clean, handso features and casual, simple attire reminiscent of a student, she finally let out a sigh of relief and said gratefully, “Thank you!
If you hadn’t co along and chased him away, tonight I might have…”
Stopping there, the woman’s face was filled with fear; even though she had cald down, her hands were still shaking nonstop, clearly shaken by her first such encounter.
“There’s nothing to worry about now!
But it’s really unsafe for a beautiful lady like you to walk alone at night.
Don’t do this again…”
Lin Tian spoke reassuringly before giving her a gentle reminder.
After talking for a while, Lin Tian learned that the woman’s na was Dong Jingjing and she owned an internet café.
Besides the internet café, there were also a bar, tea bar, water bar, coffee bar, and others, making it a comprehensive place for online leisure and entertainnt.
Tonight, she was out with a group of classmates and sisters, and it was after sending them off that she made her way back alone.
Due to the remoteness of the area, it was hard to find a taxi, so she had to walk, unaware that it would lead to her being targeted by a drunk.
“I had no idea you were a student at iling High School; it’s quite close to University City, where Sister Jing’s internet café is located.
Co by and visit soti, I’ll treat you to sothing to eat as a token of my thanks!”
After learning Lin Tian’s identity, Dong Jingjing smiled gratefully and said, “If you ever need help or find yourself in trouble, feel free to co to Sister Jing for help.
Here’s my business card!”
Saying that, Dong Jingjing handed her business card to Lin Tian, and also asked for his phone number in return.
Lin Tian, unhesitant, took the card and said, “Sister Jing, where do you live?
Let take you ho.”
“No need, I’ve already called a friend, and they’re coming to pick up!”
Dong Jingjing declined with a smile.
Ten minutes later, a car indeed arrived to pick her up.
After parting with Dong Jingjing, Lin Tian walked back towards Guanlan Lake Middle Island.
Just as he reached the entrance to the small bridge on the island, he was montarily stunned; soone was already waiting there.
It was Chen Halan, whom Lin Tian had helped previously in the hospital by treating his daughter and incidentally asking him to collect materials for the Spirit Gathering Array.
“Ah, Master Lin, you’re back!”
Seeing Lin Tian appear, Chen Halan greeted him with a surprised and respectful face.
Lin Tian looked at Chen Halan with surprise and asked, “How did you know I lived here?”
“Hehe, well…
Chen Mou found out through soone from Miss Zhou’s side.
I wanted to personally hand over these materials to the master!”
Chen Halan said obsequiously with a smile.
At the sa ti, he turned and gestured to a small delivery truck not far behind, waving it over.
Lin Tian walked over and saw several sacks piled up on the truck; peering into the open mouth of one, he could make out familiar materials, and his eyes couldn’t help but brighten.
