Chapter 555 - 555 551 Teacher-Student Gathering Fourth Update!

555: Chapter 551: Teacher-Student Gathering (Fourth Update!) 555: Chapter 551: Teacher-Student Gathering (Fourth Update!) “Haha, Elder Zheng, you arrived early before the party even started?

You’ll have to drink a couple with me later!”

Having accepted the invitation and Supreme Card from Zheng Han, Lin Tian was getting ready to leave with Shangguan Xin.

He initially wanted to ask Zheng Han some questions but decided to wait until the party; however, before he could get up, a loud voice came from outside.

A tall, middle-aged man strode in.

Following the sound of laughter, Lin Tian turned his head to look and was surprised to find Da Ming, who had gone with Zheng Han to Bin City to attend the underground antique exchange.

But Da Ming, who had come over excitedly, was taken aback to see a crowd of people, including Zheng Han, all standing there with deep respect.

However, his expression changed drastically when his gaze fell upon the seated Lin Tian.

“Master…

Master Lin!”

Da Ming recognized Lin Tian and hurriedly stepped forward, greeting him with deep respect.

“You’re Da Ming, right?

Any news about the curse master?”

Lin Tian looked up at him and casually asked.

This question sent both Zheng Han and Da Ming into a shiver.

“Master Lin…

since then, we haven’t had any contact whatsoever with the curse masters from Thainan!”

Da Ming replied with a trembling voice and a dismal face.

Beside him, Zheng Han also quickly spoke up, “Master Lin, since coming back, we’ve only been doing legitimate business, please understand!”

The sight of two top bosses from Liiu Yuan City showing bone-deep respect in front of Lin Tian left onlookers like Dong Chunhua and Lo Xingbang with their hearts trembling once more.

Yet only Zheng Han and Da Ming present knew the terrifying extent of Lin Tian’s capabilities—an existence that could take lives in an instant, mighty like a god.

“That’s good to hear; it was just an offhand question!

Since you’re here to have a few drinks with Elder Zheng, then I won’t delay any longer, I have other matters!”

Lin Tian then stood up, taking Shangguan Xin’s hand, and left the conference room amidst the crowd’s fearful anticipation.

Carrying his bag, Lin Tian followed Shangguan Xin out of the hotel.

On the road.

In the taxi, Shangguan Xin kept glancing at Lin Tian beside her.

She had a look of shock, confusion, and curiosity in her beautiful eyes.

Back in Bin City.

Lin Tian had left the impression of being highly skilled and very approachable.

But now, Lin Tian gave off an air of mystery, impenetrable and unfathomable.

“Xinxin, there’s nothing on my face!”

Lin Tian replied with a wry smile and a shake of his head, “Because of some matters, Zheng Han and Da Ming are somewhat afraid of me, that’s all!”

Hearing this, Shangguan Xin nodded gently.

But of course, she didn’t believe the obviously perfunctory explanation from Lin Tian.

“I’m sorry to trouble you this time; I need a definitive diagnosis from you to be at ease.”

After a moment of silence, Shangguan Xin spoke with sincere gratitude.

Lin Tian smiled and shook his head; this time, he came to confirm whether Shangguan Xiaoman’s condition had fully recovered.

But most importantly, he wanted to find out where she had encountered the Death Spirit Grass.

Ten minutes later, the two hurried back to the old and rented apartment in the housing complex that Shangguan Xin had leased.

Upon entering the home, they found Shangguan Xiaoman cleaning with a mop, looking spirited.

Seeing Lin Tian arrive, Shangguan Xiaoman was delighted and put aside her work to go grocery shopping, but Shangguan Xin stopped her, insisting Lin Tian should check her health first.

Five minutes later.

Lin Tian confirmed that the Death Spirit Grass in her body had been completely eliminated, then he asked, “Auntie, can you tell me when you started having these symptoms?”

“Ah, it’s been quite a few years.

It started about three years ago, I began feeling drowsy, with no energy throughout the day!”

Upon Lin Tian’s inquiry, Shangguan Xiaoman recalled and replied.

Lin Tian stroked his chin, asking again, “Do you remember if these symptoms started after visiting anywhere in particular?”

“I can’t remember that at all!”

Shangguan Xiaoman tried recalling for quite a while before shaking her head and speaking.

“Then to put it plainly, have you been to any places where the dead reside, like crematoriums or cemeteries?”

Lin Tian frowned deeply before speaking with gravity.

The lovely faces of mother and daughter, Shangguan Xiaoman and Shangguan Xin, both changed drastically.

“Lin Tian, you…

don’t scare us!”

Shangguan Xin’s face turned deathly pale as she spoke in fear.

Shangguan Xiaoman also looked uneasy.

When it came to crematoriums and cemeteries, their first thought was that there might be ghosts, signaling bad omens.

“Sister Xin, it’s not as mysterious as all that, it’s not about ghosts and gods!”

Lin Tian said with a smile to comfort them: “The illness in Auntie’s body is related to a certain poisonous herb.

That herbal medicine typically grows in places that are more dark or filled with heavier malignant energy, so that’s why I asked.”

Hearing this, the mother and daughter both heaved a sigh of relief.

“Lin Tian, now that you mention it, Auntie does remember something!”

Shangguan Xiaoman’s face suddenly darkened, and she sighed: “I remember going to White Jade Mountain in Liiu Yuan City to offer incense to Xinxin’s dad.

After returning from there, I started feeling unwell!”

“White Jade Mountain?

What place is that?”

Lin Tian was slightly surprised and asked.

“Lin Tian, White Jade Mountain is the public cemetery of Liiu Yuan City!”

Shangguan Xin took over and explained: “I remember, long ago everyone used to call it Bone Burial Mountain, and that’s an old name that has been passed down.

But then, everyone felt the name was inauspicious, and they called on the government to rename it, which led to it being changed to White Jade Mountain.”

Bone Burial Mountain?

Lin Tian’s eyes sharply condensed, he remembered when he was at the hospital, Zhuang Lizhou had mentioned sending over Ning Beihan’s mad wife, mentioning Bone Burial Mountain.

When he had time, he would have to go and check it out!

Thinking this to himself, Lin Tian then stood up to take his leave, politely declining Shangguan Xiaoman’s earnest invitation to stay for a meal and went downstairs with Shangguan Xin.

After seeing Lin Tian downstairs, Shangguan Xin was about to turn back when she suddenly turned around and said, “Lin Tian, could you do me another favor?”

“Sister Xin, I’ll still be in Liiu Rong for the next few days, you can tell me about any trouble you have!”

Lin Tian turned his head and said with a smile.

In a land far from home, they were at least acquaintances, and Lin Tian didn’t mind lending a hand if it was convenient.

“Tomorrow, our high school teacher and classmates are having a reunion…

I…

I was hoping you could pretend to be my boyfriend for a bit!”

Having said this, Shangguan Xin’s face was already flushed red.

Pretend boyfriend?

Lin Tian was taken aback.

Playing the role of a pretend boyfriend, it seemed he had already done this once before with An Ruofeng, leading to an awkward situation involving her mother that he still felt wary about.

“Lin Tian, if it’s inconvenient for you, never mind!”

Seeing that Lin Tian was speechless for a long moment, Shangguan Xin’s face turned embarrassed, and she quickly spoke again.

“No, pretending to be a boyfriend isn’t the first time I’ve done it!

Anyway, I’m free these next few days, I might as well accompany Sister Xin and enjoy a free meal and drinks!

Call me tomorrow!”

Lin Tian said with an indifferent smile, then waved his hand and walked away.

The next day.

Lin Tian left the hotel, and Shangguan Xin had already come by taxi.

Once in the car, Shangguan Xin gave the driver the address, and the car drove out of the city.

“This high school reunion is organized by a classmate of ours who’s a bit of a tycoon—he booked the entire venue!

It’s at the Liiu Rong Ecological Farm.

The place is always bustling and is said to be a luxury entertainment farm.”

Shangguan Xin turned her head and explained to Lin Tian with a smile, a hint of joy on her face, mixed with a touch of distant nostalgia.

Perhaps, she was reminiscing about the youthful days of high school.
