Chapter 2308: Chapter 2305: Gift

Caught in the act by her younger sister, Miss was immediately embarrassed and hurriedly fled from the bed, not daring to look at Lin Tian. This reaction, even if there was nothing, made it seem like there was something.

Lin Tian calmly stood up straight and said seriously, "Ahem, it’s nothing, just checking if Miss has recovered from her injuries."

After hearing this, Miss pouted. Clearly, he kissed me and then checked my injuries. What a bastard. But then she realized that before she fainted, she was injured. Now she’s fine. Could it be that this bastard has been taking care of me?

Thinking about this, Miss’s eyes softened, and her heart became sweet.

"Sister is injured? Who hit you?" Xiao Manxuan’s expression suddenly tightened as she tried to sit up disregarding her condition.

Lin Tian quickly pressed her down and said, "Miss is fine, no need to worry. You sisters react exactly the same, always so concerned about each other. Just imagine if you get married in the future and live far apart, how would you manage then?"

The two sisters were taken aback, and Miss huffed, "Who said I want to get married? You’re overthinking it."

Lin Tian had a black line on his face, how did I overthink? It’s not like I’m marrying her.

"Lin Tian, was it me who hit my sister?" Xiao Manxuan lowered her head slightly, looking a bit dejected.

Lin Tian’s heart was moved, and he couldn’t help but ask, "Xuanxuan, do you remember what happened before?"

Xiao Manxuan recalled a little and nodded, "I vaguely remember some things, but not clearly."

Lin Tian and Miss exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other’s eyes, because Xiao Manxuan couldn’t recall what happened after losing control before, but now, something had changed.

Lin Tian couldn’t figure it out either. Could it be that Xiao Manxuan adapted to the mysterious energy? Or did the mysterious energy gradually blend in? A bunch of questions arose.

Gurgle gurgle...

The little girl’s stomach suddenly growled, her stomach protesting after being hungry for too long. The little girl touched her stomach and said awkwardly, "I seem to be a bit hungry."

Miss laughed dotingly, "You little foodie, let Sister find something to eat for you." She didn’t care about her recovering injuries and quickly ran out.

After Miss left, Xiao Manxuan asked again, "Was it really me who hit my sister?"

Lin Tian shook his head and said, "The mysterious energy lost control, it wasn’t your fault. From what it seemed at the time, it looked more like a self-defense mechanism of the mysterious energy, as if it was protecting you, so it wouldn’t allow anyone to get close."

"But I still hurt my sister." Xiao Manxuan’s mood was a bit low.

"Remember anything else?" Lin Tian deliberately changed the subject to prevent the little girl from overthinking.

"Anything else?" Xiao Manxuan blinked and recalled again, her face suddenly turned red, not daring to look at Lin Tian, "Seem...seem not to remember."

Seeing her expression, Lin Tian knew that the little girl remembered everything, probably recalling the words "you are my man," and now she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

However, successfully diverting the little girl’s attention achieved Lin Tian’s purpose.

"That...that was the mysterious energy’s doing, don’t...don’t take it seriously." Xiao Manxuan whispered.

"I took it seriously." Lin Tian laughed.

Xiao Manxuan cried out in surprise, immediately lay down, pulled the blanket over her head, too embarrassed to see Lin Tian.

Soon, Miss came in carrying something and saw her sister covered with a blanket, looking puzzled, "Xuanxuan, feeling uncomfortable? Get up to eat."

The blanket moved, but in the end, hunger prevailed. The little girl emerged, her face flushed, eyes sparkling with a look as if she drank wine.

"The Medicine King Mansion is in a harsh climate, the food is quite light, but the ingredients are excellent. Give it a taste. Lin Tian, there’s some for you too." Miss set the things on the table, opened the food box, and an aromatic fragrance immediately filled the room, whetting their appetite.

Half an hour later, the three of them had finished all the food. There were no extravagant dishes or delicacies, but the ingredients were rare outside.

Of course, if modern people came here, they couldn’t endure it either. Without modern appliances, few could live here long term. No mobile phones, no internet, these two points alone modern people couldn’t accept.

"Lin Tian, Xuanxuan, the school starts in two days. When do you plan to go back?" Miss asked.

Lin Tian thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow. Elder Yan and Elder Le Hua have been very helpful, we should at least bid them farewell before leaving."

In a blink of an eye, more than half a month passed after the Spring Festival. Lingering at Langya Pavilion and Medicine King Mansion for many days, they even forgot Lantern Festival. But for Lin Tian, those were not important. What mattered was the resolution of the Second Miss’s issue.

Although not perfect, and some things still unclear, at least without the Ice Soul’s suppression, the mysterious energy wouldn’t erupt. She could live like a normal person.

Moreover, obtaining the Shennong Ding was a worthy gain. Just unsure if the Shennong Ding would attract more covetous eyes, like another Ancient Hidden Stream family Elder Yan mentioned.

At night, for sleeping, Lin Tian of course couldn’t continue to stay in the two girls’ room. After going back, he quickly fell asleep.

Chirp chirp...

A chirping sound woke Lin Tian from his dream. He jumped up and saw Little Snow poking its head in from outside the window. These days, Snow Eagle followed Bai playing everywhere. The friendship between one eagle and one leopard, perhaps this originated from not knowing each other without a fight.

When Little Snow saw Lin Tian wake up, it chirped happily again. Lin Tian went to the window, patted its head, and then started washing up.

Coming down to the first floor, Miss and Xiao Manxuan were already waiting in the living room. After a night’s rest, the sisters looked even more radiant, and Miss’s injuries had completely healed.

At this moment, Yan Lingling came in, followed by Little Snow and Bai. Thanks to the sufficiently high and wide living room, there was enough space for them to enter.

"Brother Lin Tian, I’ve already told Great Grandpa about you leaving, they will come over later." Yan Lingling said with a smile. Apparently, it was the Xiao sisters who informed Yan Lingling.

Lin Tian felt a bit embarrassed, "We could just go to say goodbye to Elder Yan, no need to trouble him to come over."

"Haha, you are already the master of the Medicine King Mansion, there’s no need to be shy." A hearty laugh came from outside the door, followed by Yan Shan and Elder Le Hua coming in.

"Elder Yan, I originally wanted to stay another ten days or so to learn more about the art of alchemy from you, but with the school term starting soon, I must go back." Lin Tian said courteously, not taking on airs of being the so-called master.

"You’ve inherited the Shennong Ding’s legacy, surpassing me is just a matter of time. By then, we would need you to teach us." Elder Yan said with a casual smile.

"Elder Yan, you’re too kind." Lin Tian admired such elders deeply, those who don’t play seniority, are modest, unlike some so-called experts who flaunt not-so-profound knowledge and are obsessed with saving face.

Elder Yan waved his hand and laughed it off. Elder Le Hua stepped forward, handed Lin Tian a box, which was intricately carved and made of high-quality materials, obviously very precious even without appraisal. Lin Tian initially wanted to refuse.

But Le Hua said, "Haha, don’t misunderstand, it’s not for you. This is for Miss Xuanxuan."
