Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 1732 - 1729: The Mantis Hunts the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind

Lin Tian can now speak on equal terms with Xu Feibai entirely because their strength levels are equal. If Xu Feibai’s strength surpasses his, Lin Tian would lose his right to speak.

Just like what happened in the Island Country Shrine, Xu Feibai could come and go as he pleased, take Oda Manaka whenever he wanted, and seize the Demon Blade Muramasa without asking anyone.

That’s the superiority of strength. At that time, Lin Tian was defeated with one move and had no right or strength to stop it. Now, he can say no, and he needs to maintain this advantage.

In the following days, the school was quiet for a while, with no major events occurring. The Karate Club seemed to have vanished, no longer challenging others everywhere.

Xu Feibai also quietly stayed as a physical education teacher, except there were occasional rumors that Ning Wenbin’s pursuit of Wu Xiuluo failed again. It had become commonplace, and the students were no longer surprised.

The soccer team coach, however, came to Lin Tian a few times, trying to persuade him to join the team, but each time Lin Tian politely declined.

In fact, he had a good impression of the coach. The coach, like Yu Principal, had grand ideals and wanted to build a Jinghua University soccer team without relying on foreign players.

Lin Tian also sat down with the coach to discuss soccer development. Lin Tian didn’t know strategy and tactics but understood the reality of soccer.

Talent should be recruited based on merit, not through connections, and should embrace the personality of talented players rather than forcing them to conform and flatter.

Talented players always have proud personalities and distinct individuality. They won’t flatter, but they will play soccer. Out of over a billion people in Huaxia, can’t a few talented players be found?

Certainly not, it’s just that talented people often don’t flatter leaders. It’s said they are arrogant due to their talent. A leader’s displeasure could take away a talented player’s qualifications in a single word. That’s reality.

Of course, Lin Tian knew his suggestions might not be useful. Some problems can’t be seen by just one person, and many knowledgeable people understand the issues, but nothing changes due to the great interests involved, which are beyond any individual’s power to change.

Lin Tian said these words to make the coach stop trying to persuade him.

Every week, Lin Tian continued to attend physical education class, but Xu Feibai never brought up the matter of the zombie true form again. It was unclear if he had seriously gone to look for it.

As the days passed, Mid-Autumn Festival approached quickly, and the school went on holiday in advance.

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, after Lin Tian finished his morning practice, he was planning to take a nap, but before he could fall asleep, there was noise in the living room, followed by a loud knocking on his bedroom door.

"Second Miss, even on holiday you won’t let me sleep!" Lin Tian shouted in annoyance, jumped out of bed directly to the floor, and went to open the door without even wearing a shirt.

As soon as he opened the door, Lin Tian was stunned. Outside the door, besides Xiao Manxuan, stood Yun Xiaotian. Upon seeing Lin Tian, Xiao Manxuan was slightly flushed by his robust physique.

It’s fine for the little girl to blush, but Yun Xiaotian also blushed. As expected, the kid has a thin skin. Lin Tian shook his head and pulled Yun Xiaotian inside the room.

Xiao Manxuan also wanted to follow, but Lin Tian immediately refused: "Second Miss, I’m going to change clothes later. Do you want to come in and watch?"

"Hmph, who wants to see you, you pervert!" Xiao Manxuan gave him a sidelong glance and snorted coquettishly.

Yun Xiaotian also wanted to sneak out, but Lin Tian slammed the door shut.

"Brother Lin, I... I should probably go out," Yun Xiaotian hesitated.

"Go where? I want you to help me look at my clothes; otherwise, Miss will despise me for dressing in poor taste. Last time, she couldn’t stand it and bought me a set." Lin Tian didn’t notice Yun Xiaotian’s expression as he pulled him towards the wardrobe.

The Yun Family has its own image designer, and when the Yun Family attends large events, there are designers to design their image. Yun Xiaotian grew up exposed to this, so Lin Tian figured his taste was different.

With no choice, Yun Xiaotian had to advise on Lin Tian’s appearance. After he picked the clothes, he turned around to find Lin Tian had already taken off his shorts, leaving only his underwear. His physique was so impressive that Yun Xiaotian’s face turned red, as if he were drunk.

Lin Tian didn’t notice and waved to him: "Xiao Tian, bring me my pants and belt."

Yun Xiaotian quickly turned around, back facing Lin Tian, and handed him the pants and belt.

"By the way, why did you suddenly come to find me?" Lin Tian asked while getting dressed.

"I heard from Miss that you and Sister Xuanxuan are going to the jewelry exhibition, so I came over to pick you both up," Yun Xiaotian explained.

"That’s good, saves us the trouble of flying there," Lin Tian said casually.

After changing clothes, washing up, and packing his luggage, Lin Tian finally opened the door and went out. Yun Xiaotian visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Manxuan happened to come out of the kitchen with breakfast and, seeing Yun Xiaotian’s face, asked curiously: "Xiao Tian, did you drink in Brother Lin’s room? Why is your face so red?"

Only then did Lin Tian notice that his face was extremely red, and his skin was naturally fair and delicate, with a rosy glow that gave off a certain feminine allure. This guy, if dressed in women’s clothing, would definitely be an exceptional beauty, like a noble male pet with special tastes from ancient times.

Damn, my mind is straying again, Lin Tian shivered and shook his head, quelling these ridiculous thoughts.

"Lin Tian’s room is a bit stuffy. I’m fine," Yun Xiaotian said nonchalantly.

"Then hurry and eat breakfast, so we can leave after we finish," Xiao Manxuan didn’t press further and continued serving breakfast.

After the three of them had breakfast, they took their luggage downstairs. In the parking space in front of the apartment building, next to Lin Tian’s car, there was a similar car parked. Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan immediately knew it was Yun Xiaotian’s exclusive ride.

"Mr. Wang hasn’t been following you lately?" Lin Tian asked curiously, seeing Yun Xiaotian alone.

"Mr. Wang has been training Brother Ghost lately. Although I haven’t progressed as quickly as Brother Ghost, I now have some ability to protect myself," Yun Xiaotian explained.

Xiao Manxuan looked curious: "You know martial arts now too?"

"Just a little," Yun Xiaotian said modestly.

The car drove through the campus, which was quiet as most students had gone home for the holidays. Even He Xiaofei and her professor father had returned to their hometown.

On the top floor of the teachers’ dormitory in the quiet campus, three people stood on a balcony.

One was a tall, elegant, ancient-style young man, and behind him stood two people, both with heads slightly bowed, looking respectful.

"Master, Lin Tian and the Xiao Family girl have both left," one of them said in a hoarse voice.

The other also spoke: "Master, the Yun Family is the organizer of the jewelry exhibition. Will Wang Wanxi be overseeing it? It’s said she’s an Innate Early Stage expert. Will she interfere with the master’s acquisition of the Eye of the Creator?"
