Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1631 - 1628: I’m Done with This!

"Fine, I’m really afraid of dying, not doing it!" Lin Tian snorted coldly, turned around and left.

They’re all Demon Exorcists, how can their quality vary so much? Lin Tian was not fond of this Senior Brother Zhang at all; he was far inferior to Zhang Lingyu.

Actually, Lin Tian didn’t need them; he had a way to catch the Secret Master. Just summon Charlotte and set up the Blood-colored Array, the Secret Master would be a sitting duck. At worst, bring back Charlotte’s Dark Moon Team; no matter how slippery the Secret Master is, there’s no escape.

"You can leave, but hand over the guqin." Zhang Zhicheng said coldly.

Lin Tian halted his steps, turned, and coldly stared at Zhang Zhicheng: "Want the guqin? Let’s see if you have the guts to take it. Anyone who dares target the guqin is considered a Secret Master’s accomplice, kill without mercy!"

"Can you both say a little less? We haven’t started fighting, and there’s already internal strife. If the Secret Master finds out, they’d laugh their heads off." Ning Luoxi was quite angry and helpless.

After speaking, she faced Lin Tian and said seriously: "Lin Tian, stay, just for Xuanxuan."

"I can stay, but make him shut up." Lin Tian said expressionlessly, leaving no room for negotiation.

Zhang Zhicheng moved his mouth, wanting to retort to Lin Tian, but Ning Luoxi interrupted him coldly: "Zhang Zhicheng, I don’t want to repeat what I just said again. If you want to continue staying here, shut up. This is your last chance."

"Hmph..." he snorted softly, but finally shut up and sat on the sofa by himself, though his expression wasn’t good.

Thunder Wolf shrugged to Lin Tian, indicating he also didn’t like this person. Ning Luoxi sighed lightly; it was evident she wasn’t having an easy time being in charge.

She didn’t say anything more and took out a piece of paper from her pocket, which unfolded into a terrain map.

"This is the place where you and Xuanxuan are going on a date, Red Leaf Mountain. It’s not yet developed into a tourist spot, usually only visited by some hikers, with almost no one around. At the foot of Red Leaf Mountain, there’s a pool, and our formation is set up by the pool. When you reach there, you’ll find the marks. That’s the location. I’ll send you the route before the day of departure." Ning Luoxi pointed and drew on the map, explaining to Lin Tian the ambush location for the Secret Master.

"If we go so far and can’t find the Secret Master, won’t all our efforts be in vain?" Lin Tian raised a question that had been in his mind from the beginning.

The main reason was that Lin Tian didn’t know how far the guqin’s sound could reach. If it couldn’t affect the Secret Master, how could it lure him?

"You don’t have to worry about that. The Secret Master is adept at controlling snakes, rats, insects, and ants. He is definitely monitoring the location of the guqin at all times and will make a move when the time is right." Ning Luoxi explained.

"I understand now, but what’s the story behind this guqin, why is he so eager for it?" This was something Lin Tian couldn’t comprehend. Until now, aside from its unusual performance at the welcome party, the guqin was no different from ordinary ones, at most just a bit more ancient.

"We don’t know either, but the Secret Master might know. If we catch him, perhaps you can ask him some questions." Ning Luoxi shook her head.

"And another issue, what if the Secret Master doesn’t show up that day..."

Before Lin Tian could finish, Thunder Wolf chuckled and said: "You can spend the night there."

"Thunder Wolf is right, you must spend the night there because the Secret Master is most likely to act at night." Ning Luoxi said earnestly.

Lin Tian stretched a finger and scratched his brow, looking quite troubled: "If it goes like this, I’ll be committing a crime." Actually, he was getting a good deal while complaining.

Ning Luoxi saw right through Lin Tian’s "hypocrisy" and disdainfully said, "You live under the same roof with Xuanxuan every day. If you were going to commit a crime, you would have done it long ago."

"Off you go, that’s it for today. You should get back to your military training." Ning Luoxi gave Lin Tian a glance and then turned on her heels and left.

Thunder Wolf walked up to Lin Tian, chuckling: "Brother Lin Tian, do you think the instructor is jealous?"

"I say, Captain Lei, you’ve got guts now, daring to gossip about the instructor behind her back." Lin Tian gave him a thumbs-up, admiringly.

"You probably don’t know, but ever since the instructor met you, she’s become a lot gentler. She hasn’t asked us to spar very often lately." Thunder Wolf chuckled, remembering that sparring with Ning Luoxi was a disaster for them. Lin Tian understood very well because he experienced Ning Luoxi’s fighting craziness firsthand.

Just as Thunder Wolf finished speaking, Ning Luoxi’s voice was heard outside: "Your training has been lax lately. From tomorrow onward, I’ll personally train you."

As those words came out, Thunder Wolf’s face changed, as if he were going to step into Hell. The sight of a robust man being frightened like that could only mean Ning Luoxi was formidable.

Thunder Wolf chuckled bitterly and exaggeratedly said: "Brother Lin Tian, I hope you’ll still see me next time."

The two of them left the room, and Zhang Zhicheng didn’t utter another word. But as Lin Tian stepped out, he slammed the door shut with a loud bang.

Thunder Wolf drove Lin Tian back to Jinghua University. It was already past eleven, and the morning’s military training was nearly finished.

Lin Tian returned to the training site, where classmates from Life Sciences Class One were practicing goose-step marching. As he appeared, everyone stopped to stare at him.

"Report, Instructor, Lin Tian requests to rejoin the team." Lin Tian approached Lu Yuan to report in. His half-day leave had ended, and according to the rules, he had to report back, or else it would be considered as overextending his leave and he’d be punished.

"Finished with your business? No need for another half-day off?" Lu Yuan asked with concern.

Lin Tian was quite overwhelmed by the unexpected care. It’s tough to get a leave during military training, but Lu Yuan was asking if he needed more time off. This treatment was extraordinary.

However, Lin Tian quickly realized the connection with Thunder Wolf. He promptly replied: "Thank you, Instructor, my matters are done."

After Lu Yuan finished speaking with Lin Tian, he turned to find the group craning their necks, curiously watching Lin Tian. So, he announced: "Ten-minute break."

"Wow, the instructor is awesome!" The group cheered loudly.

The Life Sciences Class One students quickly gathered around Lin Tian, asking all at once about the morning event.

"Lin Tian, who was that guy looking for you? He seemed so cool."

"Is he also an instructor? What did he want from you?"

"Is he a special forces soldier, recruiting you into special ops?"

...

"Uh, everyone, please quiet down and listen to me." Lin Tian had to raise his hand to signal, and once the group quieted, he said, "Actually, it’s just a friend looking for me, all personal matters, don’t read too much into it."

"I get it, you need to keep it a secret, can’t say?" Many classmates remained just as excited.

Lin Tian’s words didn’t quell the group’s curiosity; instead, they even helped him think of confidentiality, their imaginations running wild.
