456: Chapter 452: The Death of Wu Yan (17th Update!) 456: Chapter 452: The Death of Wu Yan (17th Update!) A sharp cry rang out, followed imdiately by the crisp sound of high heels hitting the floor.
A tall figure stepped forward and walked in this direction.
Everyone in the hallway, upon hearing the scolding, froze in place.
As they turned and saw the cold-faced Yan Xinyue approaching, their expressions drastically changed.
“Mayor!”
A group of people respectfully shouted, and instantly scattered like birds and beasts, returning in panic to their respective offices.
Clearly, they all held great fear and awe for Yan Xinyue.
“Secretary Qian, what’s happening?”
Yan Xinyue hadn’t yet seen Lin Tian.
As she asked this question and saw Qian Lei move aside, only then did she notice Lin Tian standing opposite her.
“Mayor Yan!”
Qian Lei respectfully greeted her and then pointed at Lin Tian, “This unknown youngster claims he wants to bring you dicine.
I was about to have soone drive him away!”
Hearing this, Yan Xinyue looked startled.
She had initially feared that Lin Tian wouldn’t be able to find her and might be misunderstood easily.
She had thought to co and et him so as to avoid any misunderstanding.
Still, a misunderstanding had occurred.
Before Yan Xinyue could speak, Qian Lei, with his longstanding skill in reading situations, seeing her astonished expression, imdiately beca certain and angrily shouted, “Soone, throw him out!
Xiao Li, Xiao He, no need to wait for the security.
Drag this man down the stairs!
He claims he ca to deliver dicine to the mayor, but I think it’s dangerous items…”
Deliver dicine to the mayor?
This matter could be big or small.
If it were poison or dangerous items, then as her secretary, it would be the end for him!
Thinking of Yan Xinyue’s status as coming from Yanjing, if anything happened, he couldn’t escape responsibility, and thinking of the possible severe consequences made him both scared and furious.
Suddenly, two tall n burst out of the office, ready to go forward and grab Lin Tian.
Delivering dangerous items was no joking matter.
If it were explosive materials, they all could be blown sky-high!
Thus, both n’s faces showed panic.
Subsequently, people from other offices once again opened their doors.
“Stop it!
Aren’t you all too idle?”
Yan Xinyue, feeling helpless, scolded coldly and then said to Qian Lei, “You have been a senior secretary here; how can you still act so rashly, with no proper thod!
Since he’s looking for , couldn’t you have just made a phone call to confirm?
Humph, he’s my brother, here to deliver my dicine!”
Ah, brother?!
Everyone was instantly dumbfounded.
When they ca to their senses, they quickly closed the doors of their offices.
Xiao Li and Xiao He glanced at Qian Lei, promptly lowered their heads, and slipped away.
With anger frozen on his face, it took Qian Lei a while to regain his composure, nervously saying, “Mayor Yan, I…
I didn’t know he was your brother…”
“Even if he weren’t my brother, couldn’t you have confird it?
If this happens again, I’ll report your behavior to the superiors when I leave!”
Yan Xinyue reprimanded him again, then took Lin Tian’s hand and said as they walked, “Let’s go, to my office!”
Lin Tian gave Qian Lei a aningful look, allowing himself to be led away by Yan Xinyue.
Watching the two leave, Qian Lei clenched his fists, his face darkening as he muttered in a low voice, “Showing off for what, just a gold-plating stint from Yanjing.
Once you leave, this will still be my territory!”
Mayor’s office.
Upon entering, Lin Tian looked around at the walls nearly filled with bookshelves, while the desk was buried under various docunts.
“My dear Mayor Sister Yan, you really are diligently serving the people!
You’re not tired, but just looking at this makes exhausted!
You should delegate so of this paperwork to others, and just make the decisions yourself!”
Lin Tian patted a stack of docunts on the table and shook his head.
“Since I’ve taken this position, I must devote my whole heart and effort to fulfill my responsibilities!”
Yan Xinyue smiled bitterly and said, “Do you think I want to try hard?
Coming here is supposed to be a golden opportunity for experience, so I should push myself even harder!”
“Sister Yue, take care of yourself!”
Lin Tian placed the package on his desk and earnestly instructed, “Inside are nine doses of traditional dicine, one per day.
Brew it into tea and drink it three tis a day.
After nine days, your symptoms will definitely not recur!”
“If I hadn’t seen with my own eyes your brilliant rejuvenation, I would hardly believe that soone as young as you could be a Divine Doctor!”
Yan Xinyue took the package from Lin Tian, exclaiming in amazent, then gratefully said, “Consider it a favor owed by Sister Yue.
When you go to study in Yanjing, rember to call !”
“Alright, you get back to your work.
I need to head back now!”
This was the municipal governnt building, and Lin Tian did not want to linger.
After bidding farewell to Yan Xinyue, he returned to his company.
In the evening after work and dinner, Lin Tian reentered the basent to continue refining the dragon whisker he had acquired on Night Crying Island.
Refining this object was no less challenging than dealing with a Demon like Xiaotian.
Furthermore, now that he had to integrate it with the Demon like Xiaotian, the difficulty had greatly increased.
Restricted by his cultivation level, Lin Tian’s only option was to slowly refine it bit by bit.
In a few days, he would be returning ho.
Afterwards, Lin Tian planned to visit Chang Ying’s house.
Most importantly, he rembered the mysterious departure of Gu Liuushui and Qian Xiaohui, the master-disciple duo.
Lin Tian wanted to use the sumr break to also visit that area, taking it as an opportunity for experience.
Then he would head to the East Continent to participate in the Martial Arts Conference.
By then, it would also be about ti to start his studies in Yanjing.
Over the next few days, Lin Tian spent nearly every evening imrsed in refining the dragon whisker.
On the weekend, Yan Xinyue was to leave.
After receiving a call from her, Lin Tian decided to see her off.
However,
As he was returning to the Guanlan Mountain District, he hadn’t even entered the district when disaster suddenly struck.
Zhou Li called.
Wu Yan had been attacked and severely injured, and the people from the Azure Dragon Association had just arrived and taken him back.
Most critically, Xu Tangge had been kidnapped.
In an instant, Lin Tian felt his head roar and a murderous intent filled his heart.
Lin Tian drove with a grim face to Zhou Li’s residence, the very villa in the park where he had first practiced.
Upon arrival, only Zhou Li was there, with Wu Yan lying on the sofa in the lounge.
Wu Yan’s injuries were beyond Zhou Li’s ability to heal; they could only wait for Lin Tian.
“How is it, Wu Yan?”
Lin Tian walked over and held Wu Yan’s wrist, asking softly.
But seeing Wu Yan’s injuries, Lin Tian’s heart sank to the bottom, his voice trembling.
“Master… I don’t think I can hold on… I’ve always been alone, but being able to see you coming for , I have no regrets!”
Wu Yan was pale, his chest almost completely mangled from sword wounds—an appalling sight.
He was barely hanging on by a thread, speaking with great difficulty, “Miss Xu… I failed to protect her, I’m sorry, Master!
The attacker is very powerful, at least at the Qi Refining Ninth Level… He gave an invitation, saying Xu Jingsheng should bring the Ancient Map to the banquet, or you could go as her bodyguard…”
“Master, thank you for teaching those cultivation techniques…”
With that, Wu Yan gently closed his eyes, never to breathe again.
