"Blocking bullets? For an Ancient Martial Artist with profound skills, dodging bullets isn’t difficult, but using one’s body to block them is indeed very rare, unless they have cultivated a martial arts technique like the Golden Bell Divine Shield or so kind of Ancient Martial body technique," Zhang Lingyu said softly.
Xiao Manxuan knew sothing about Ancient Martial Arts since her sister was an Ancient Martial Artist. Zhang Lingyu’s explanation was sothing her sister had also ntioned, though Xiao Manxuan only understood it vaguely—essentially, it seed incredibly powerful.
"Soone is coming." Zhang Lingyu’s ears twitched, and she heard the sound of footsteps coming from the slope below.
Lin Tian, who was in the midst of combat, also noticed and used his super vision to look down, only to see it was Fang Ming running up alone.
"My horoom teacher is coming up. She’s a very important person to , and I don’t want to harm her in the slightest. If you have any sense left, stop now. A regular person like her could die from even a slight brush with our fight," Lin Tian frowned and seriously said to the female warrior perched on the tree branch.
He had to be serious, for looking at the chaotic battlefield around them, it was clear that the destructive power of a Martial Artist was more than ordinary people could withstand.
The female warrior stood on the tree branch and finally didn’t make another move. A mysterious light flickered in her eyes as she asked, "She’s the most important person to you? Then what is she to you?"
"We have no blood relation, but our relationship is like that of family," Lin Tian earnestly replied, rembering the help Fang Ming gave him during his first year of high school, which felt like family—the only kind besides his grandfather.
"Hmph! Family? Then why do you treat her like this, you’re worse than a beast!" The female warrior’s eyes seed to shoot fire as she spoke through clenched teeth, as if she wanted to bite Lin Tian.
Worse than a beast? Why would she say that? Her tone sounded as if she knew Aunt Fang very well, but I’ve never known any of Aunt Fang’s acquaintances, Lin Tian thought, searching his mory for such a formidable military woman.
No, that’s not right, last night, Aunt Fang was drunk, and the girl on the phone was furious—it couldn’t be, was this woman Aunt Fang’s daughter? Fragnts of mories suddenly flashed through Lin Tian’s mind, and he finally rembered who the female warrior before him was.
Lin Tian hadn’t taken it seriously at the ti, and after dealing with the delinquent beating incident, he had indeed forgotten about it—it didn’t seem like a big deal.
"Are you Aunt Fang’s daughter?" Lin Tian asked tentatively.
"Xixi, Xixi..." Fang Ming’s calling voice ca over.
The female warrior jumped down from the tree and responded loudly, "Mom, I’m here!"
Soon, Fang Ming appeared on the chaotic battlefield, her eyes wide with surprise at the snapped tree trunks.
"Xixi, you didn’t beat that student to a pulp, did you?" she asked worriedly.
"Aunt Fang, I’m not made of tofu, how could I be beaten to a pulp so easily," Lin Tian erged from the woods and looked at Fang Ming with a cheerful grin.
Fang Ming looked Lin Tian up and down a few tis, ensuring he was alright before breathing a sigh of relief. She scolded, "You child, how can you be so reckless? Xixi has martial arts skills. Do you think you can beat her?"
"Mom, look at these broken trees. Do you think they broke themselves in a fit of rage?" The Female Warrior glared at Lin Tian before rembering the things she heard over the phone, and asked uncertainly, "Mom, did this guy bully you last night? Tell , and I’ll take him in for questioning."
"Bully ? What do you an by that?" Fang Ming obviously couldn’t follow.
Lin Tian ntioned the events of the previous night, and Fang Ming suddenly realized and tapped the Female Warrior’s forehead with a mixture of embarrassnt and helplessness. "You really ca rushing over without getting things straight, completely inheriting your dad’s temperant. I was just busy preparing lessons last night and forgot to call you. Also, Xiao Tian’s na is Lin Tian, not ’that person.’ Girls should speak gently..."
Sure enough, as a class advisor, Fang Ming clarified the events of the previous night in just a few words. Then she started lecturing her daughter with a major speech, hoping she would behave more like a girl and not so unladylike all the ti.
This woman, if she could be gentle, pigs might climb trees, Lin Tian murmured to himself after hearing Fang Ming’s earnest hopes for the Female Warrior. Unexpectedly, she had sharp ears and overheard him, even though he spoke softly. She glared fiercely at Lin Tian, showing signs of getting ready to start a fight again.
"Xiao Tian, don’t take it personally with her. Xixi grew up in the military barracks with her father and has developed a straightforward personality." Fang Ming lovingly wiped the dust off of her, seemingly reproaching herself for not having raised her daughter better.
Rembering that Lin Tian didn’t know her daughter’s na yet, she introduced, "Almost forgot, you two haven’t formally t. My daughter’s surna is Ning, given na Luoxi, and she’s a soldier. The person you saw in the photo is her twin brother."
Twin brother? No wonder the young man in the photo is also incredibly handso—it’s genetic inheritance; the two are twins. And since both siblings are soldiers, it seems like the Ning Family cos from a military background.
Moreover, Ning Luoxi is definitely not an ordinary soldier. With her status as an Ancient Martial Artist, she might be part of a special forces unit, or even more, possibly from so national secret departnt. Lin Tian, just an ordinary citizen, had only hearsay knowledge about those legendary secret agencies.
After encountering vampires, Ancient Martial Artists, and Demon Exterminating Masters during this period, Lin Tian always felt that, at so level, there were mysterious forces unknown to the public. These forces occasionally made fleeting appearances among ordinary people, becoming the subject of various bizarre folktales.
"Mom, don’t be sad. Dad and I are worried about you being alone out there. Why don’t you co back with ? You’ve been away from ho for so long; you should forgive dad by now," Ning Luoxi urged her mother, completely ignoring her mom’s introduction and treating Lin Tian as if he was invisible.
Fang Ming’s expression turned complex, and she sighed, "You don’t have to lobby for your father. I will never forgive him for what happened to your brother."
Lin Tian rembered Fang Ming saying her son had an accident while on duty. It seed to line up with his guess: likely Ning Luoxi’s father had sent his son on a mission that went wrong. Unable to face this fact, Fang Ming, torn between her son and husband, had left ho in heartbreak and anger and ca to Xikou City to teach.
"Er, Aunt Fang, let’s head back first. This isn’t really a place to talk," Lin Tian interjected when he sensed the mood was off.
As long as that incident wasn’t ntioned, Fang Ming was anable. Her expression softened, and she led the way down the slope. Ning Luoxi had no choice but to hold her tongue and stop persuading her mother. Lin Tian followed Fang Ming out of the wooded hillside, and as they passed a large tree, he glanced up briefly, but Zhang Lingyu and Xiao Manxuan were no longer there.
Such a sharp little girl, Zhang Lingyu really has more and more intrigued, Lin Tian thought, a smile playing on his lips.
