From the start, Lin Tian knew Zhang Lingyu had followed him, especially since she was tagging along with Xiao Manxuan, a living person in tow. If he hadn’t noticed her arrival, Lin Tian would have thought himself a failure as a zombie.
After leaving the woods, Lin Tian and Fang Ming ca to her temporary resting dormitory at the school.
"Hold on, I’ll go get you two sets of uniforms, look at the state you’ve gotten your clothes into," Fang Ming scolded before heading out again.
Left behind, Lin Tian and Ning Luoxi were left staring at each other. Even though the misunderstanding had been resolved, Ning Luoxi still regarded Lin Tian as a hooligan, given that Lin Tian had licked her ear during the fight.
She is Fang Ming’s daughter, and Lin Tian did not want to make the situation too awkward, lest it embarrass Fang Ming.
"Luoxi, which military unit are you in?" Lin Tian broke the silence.
"It’s confidential. Also, is ’Xixi’ what you’re supposed to call ? Hmph!" Ning Luoxi responded coldly with a hum.
This woman is too intense with her words. Calling you ’Xixi’ is out of respect for Aunt Fang. Otherwise, who would bother with a violent woman like you, Lin Tian thought dismissively.
"Fine, just stay by yourself then, just don’t bother anymore. In the military, others might indulge you, the precious daughter, but I certainly do not care about your status." Lin Tian had no interest in dealing with such a person, suspecting that Ning Luoxi had been spoiled in the military.
Lin Tian stood up to leave, but Ning Luoxi suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way and shouted angrily, "I am who I am, I don’t rely on any status in the military."
"Is that so? It doesn’t matter anymore." Lin Tian opened the door and walked out.
"You..." Ning Luoxi was so angry she wanted to throw a punch.
Ignoring the violent woman, Lin Tian left the temporary dormitory and coincidentally t Fang Ming coming back on the first floor.
"Xiao Tian, why did you leave without changing your clothes?" Fang Ming wondered, holding two bags in her hands, which contained the uniforms of Xikou City High School.
"I’m already late for class, I’ll change the clothes myself," Lin Tian took the bags from her hands and waved goodbye as he left.
"This child..." Fang Ming felt helpless.
Rushing to the bathroom, Lin Tian changed out of his dirty clothes. Considering he was already late, he took his clothes to the car outside. Since it was already class ti, he had no choice but to climb over the wall to leave.
When he arrived at the parking lot, a person ca around the corner. Lin Tian wasn’t surprised at all, the newcor was the vampire Rossi. Before climbing the wall to get out, Lin Tian had already sensed Rossi’s arrival.
Rossi had his vampire blood within him, allowing Lin Tian to sense his presence either actively or when Rossi emitted a special aura. Moreover, if it ca to retrieving his vampire blood, no matter the distance, Lin Tian could do so effortlessly, which is why he felt reassured about Rossi coming to Xikou City alone.
"Brother Tian," Rossi’s deanor was still as respectful as ever.
Lin Tian had asked him several tis to drop the formality, but Rossi always seed unable to change, perhaps due to the natural reverence a lower-ranking vampire holds for a superior.
"You vampires can move around during the day too?" Lin Tian was sowhat surprised; he had only t with him at night before and never noticed this issue.
"Among the vampires that ca to Huaxia, only I can move around during the day. I discovered this ability quite by accident a long ti ago; none of my companions know about it. However, I can’t stay under the sun for too long, and a vampire’s abilities are suppressed during the day. But ever since I got Brother Tian’s blood, the suppression hasn’t been as severe as before," Rossi explained in detail.
No wonder the female zombie said Rossi was special—indeed, he was different from other vampires. However, the last ti he encountered ordinary vampires, like the Prince, those high-level vampires probably wouldn’t be afraid of the sun, as they are sowhat different from zombies.
Given Rossi’s abilities, he doesn’t seem like a high-level vampire; there might be so special reason why he’s not completely afraid of the sun.
"Good, I have so matters for you to investigate. Recently, students at Xikou City High School have been bullied by so hoodlums, but they’re all targeting , trying to force out of Xikou City High School. Check who’s behind this," Lin Tian instructed, knowing that Rossi had arrived a couple of days ago and had already planned on having him start the investigation to see what he could uncover.
"Who dares disrespect Brother Tian like that? I’ll go and capture him," Rossi’s eyes flashed coldly, exuding a chilling aura.
"Calm down, I just want you to investigate. I’ll handle things afterward. If it were just about claiming that gang leader’s life, that wouldn’t be worth it, what good would his life do ?" Lin Tian patted his shoulder to soothe him, worried that an overly excited Rossi might go out and kill all the hoodlums, causing massive panic and drawing the attention of other forces.
"Alright, I’ll follow Brother Tian’s orders," Rossi suppressed his aura and nodded.
"Find him, but don’t act; co back and notify ," Lin Tian signaled that he could go.
"Alright, Brother Tian, wait for my news," Rossi bowed respectfully and then proceeded to leave.
Lin Tian felt a bit helpless about his constant deference, finding it quite awkward. He said, "Still, be careful. After all, vampires aren’t invincible. There are many things in this world that can hurt you, you know? The investigation can take ti, but you must ensure your own safety."
"Brother Tian..." Rossi suddenly felt moved. As a low-level vampire, to the higher-ranking vampires, he was just an inconsequential servant, re cannon fodder for missions, disposable at any ti.
The vampires that had co this ti were already prepared to be utterly vanquished. If they failed their mission, they wouldn’t fare well upon returning, and might even be killed by the higher-ranking vampires to vent their frustration.
For the higher-ranking vampires, creating low-level vampires is rely an initiation ritual, and low-level vampires are just tools; only the high-level vampires have status.
"No, it feels really weird having a big man like you being moved by , what the hell, it’s so awkward. Are you planning to pledge yourself to or what?" Lin Tian got goosebumps from being looked at so affectionately by a big man.
Rossi grinned, revealing a sunny smile. This blond, handso guy trying to play cool seed pointless.
"Brother Tian, I’m off now," Rossi smiled briefly, then returned to his cool deanor, probably because he wasn’t used to smiling. It was awkward.
After Rossi left, Lin Tian tidied up his dirty clothes and headed back to class. He had been delayed for quite a while, and it was almost ti for school to end. The teacher hadn’t given him any trouble, which Lin Tian guessed might be because Fang Ming had explained the situation.
"Ding-a-ling-ling..."
Finally, the bell for the end of the class rang. As soon as the teacher left the classroom, a group of boys sward around Lin Tian, and even the girls moved away, chattering about Lin Tian’s affair.
"Brother Tian, tell us the truth, are you the legendary martial arts master!" Fatty Huang was the first to ask.
