"What’s changed? Speak slowly, don’t rush." Lin Tian slightly furrowed his brow and said calmly.
"The auction house staff have arrived early, and they will imdiately et with the Pavilion Master in the inner cabinet. You might not even get a chance to et their responsible person before the auction starts." Shen Danxi also replied coldly. She was reluctantly working for Lin Tian, speaking to him only because of the token.
Lin Tian slightly furrowed his brow and said, "Isn’t eting the Pavilion Master already arranged? Why suddenly want a eting?"
"According to their auction house’s practice, the responsible person doesn’t et anyone before the auction starts. Even in Qinglan Garden, they don’t have to et the Pavilion Master, but this ti Ling Taoran suddenly requested a eting with the Pavilion Master." Shen Danxi explained.
eting the Pavilion Master? Does the Ling Family have so matter to discuss with Qingshuang Pavilion? Lin Tian wondered and asked, "Did Ling Taoran bring a task from the Ling family? Discussing matters with Master Tang?"
Shen Danxi impatiently replied, "How should I know about the Ling family’s matters with Master Tang? The auction house, known as Langya Pavilion, collects rare treasures worldwide. Maybe the Ling family has an interest in the Hua Ying Sword."
Hua Ying Sword? Lin Tian felt a stir in his heart, but he maintained a calm deanor and said, "Other families haven’t made a move yet, but the Ling Family is a step ahead."
"Whether it’s the Ling Family or the Wang Family, it’s not your concern. Better think of how to get close to Ling Taoran, or else once he’s in the inner cabinet, I can’t help you." Shen Danxi was uninterested in the Ling Family or the Hua Ying Sword, those things were distant from her, she only cared about the token Lin Tian had.
Of course, she considered Lin Tian a small figure, with no right to concern himself with the Hua Ying Sword’s ownership, so she wasn’t particularly courteous in her speech.
Lin Tian didn’t refute, nor did he bother to explain. He thought for a mont, then took a jade bottle out of his pocket and handed it to Shen Danxi.
"What’s this?" Shen Danxi asked suspiciously, reaching out to take the jade bottle.
"It doesn’t matter what it is, just give it to Ling Taoran and say soone invites him. Then arrange a quiet place for us to et." Lin Tian calmly instructed without answering her question.
Shen Danxi frowned and asked, "Are you sure he’ll et you after seeing this bottle?"
"Whether he ets or not, you’ll find out after trying," Lin Tian said simply, without further explanation.
Despite being displeased with Lin Tian’s tone, for the Qinglan Garden’s token, Shen Danxi could only hold back. She took the jade bottle, asked for Lin Tian’s phone number, and left, leaving behind only, "Wait for my notification."
After Shen Danxi walked away, Yun Xiaotian erged, curious, and asked, "Brother Lin, what did you give Shen Danxi?" He was curious too, what could make Ling Taoran proactively et.
Lin Tian smiled mysteriously and said, "You’ve seen it at your house."
Yun Xiaotian recalled, then seed surprised, "Brother Lin, such a precious thing, you just gave it to Shen Danxi, aren’t you afraid she’ll take it herself?"
"I’m not afraid; she doesn’t understand what it is. Shen Danxi appears arrogant but has a narrow vision. Her focus is only on that little token, she wouldn’t recognize its value." Lin Tian replied indifferently, unconcerned about Shen Danxi claiming it.
After Shen Danxi left, Lin Tian’s task was to wait. Over an hour later, his phone sounded with a ssage alert, and he quickly took out his phone.
"Restaurant fifth floor, Jiazi number one private room." Yun Xiaotian leaned over and read the ssage.
"Brother Lin, you really have foresight; Ling Taoran agreed to et." Yun Xiaotian said in surprise.
Lin Tian chuckled and said, "It’s not that I have foresight, but that I know they must be interested in that thing."
"You and Ghost stay in the West Courtyard, I’ll go alone to et the Ling Family." Lin Tian instructed, picked up a bag and left, the bag holding a set of black clothes and a tal mask.
The Qinglan Garden restaurant was in another area, walking toward the main gate, turning onto another path midway. This path crossed through a bamboo forest, the environnt very peaceful, aside from the sound of wind in the bamboo forest, no other people were visible.
Turning a corner, Lin Tian intended to check the signs for the route to the restaurant, but saw soone approaching ahead. Dressed in a red skirt, wearing boots, it was Situ Ruoling.
Lin Tian was a bit surprised to encounter this vexing woman here, but realizing Ling Taoran might already be waiting, he ignored her and continued following the path.
Situ Ruoling also erged from the restaurant direction, pondering yesterday’s events, she looked up and saw a handso guy. Thinking, who is this, even handsor than a big brother? After realizing it was Lin Tian, whom there was conflict with yesterday, she was angry that Lin Tian acted like he didn’t see her. Being confident in her unparalleled beauty, she’d never faced such treatnt, "new and old grudges" surged again.
"Lin Tian, stop right there!" Situ Ruoling shouted, wanting Lin Tian to halt, but he rely glanced at her and continued walking, not bothering.
This made Situ Ruoling furious, she scolded, "Lin Tian, you bullied yesterday and now you despise , watch teach you a lesson!" This unruly girl from the Situ family was distorting facts again.
With that, Situ Ruoling flicked her right hand, the snake-shaped whip appeared again, with a snap, it struck the road in front of Lin Tian, blocking his way.
Damn it, these girls are audacious, Lin Tian shot her a sideways glance coldly and said, "Situ Ruoling, others may fear your Situ family, but I don’t. Don’t force to teach won a lesson, oh wait, you’re not even a woman, more like a spoiled brat."
"You dared to call little..." Situ Ruoling looked at her not yet developed chest, her face flushed with anger. Actually, her chest wasn’t small, just that she misunderstood Lin Tian’s words, "You bastard, today if I don’t teach you a lesson, I’m not called Situ Ruoling!"
Situ Ruoling’s anger was inexplicable, she flicked her snake-shaped whip, intending to strike Lin Tian’s face.
Damn it, that girl’s fierce, Lin Tian cursed inwardly but didn’t dodge. He snatched, grabbing the incoming whip, Situ Ruoling didn’t expect Lin Tian to react so fast, her whip instantly grabbed.
She tried to pull it back, but when it didn’t budge, she shouted, "Let go!"
She tried to flick the whip to break free, but before she could, the whip was seized by a massive force, like an ancient serpent turning over, she couldn’t hold it, and the whip slipped from her hand.
