Chapter 1419: Chapter 1419: The Death of Xu Xichao

Because Zhao Qingtang was too wild before, Lin Tian’s pajamas were pulled off by her and casually thrown on the floor.

Zhao Qingtang’s previous blue half-sleeve shirt and pleated skirt were also unwearable because Lin Tian was quite the handful...

Putting on pajamas, Lin Tian, under Zhao Qingtang’s guidance, opened the wardrobe and took out a set of fresh underwear and a long dress from inside.

Zhao Qingtang lazily lay on the bed, motionlessly saying, "I’m too tired just now, you help me get dressed."

Lin Tian chuckled bitterly, "You’re already so grown up, and you still need me to help you dress. Aren’t you ashamed?"

"Then weren’t you ashamed when you took off my clothes just now?"

Lin Tian’s expression didn’t change as he hummed, "Obviously, you were the one who made the first move, how are you twisting the truth now?"

...

Zhao Qingtang opened the door, and her head slowly peeked out.

Seeing no one in the living room, she daringly opened the door wide and said, "Grandma seems to not be home yet; otherwise, this time she’d be frying eggs."

"Master’s wife is giving us a chance, she’s out playing mahjong all night and hasn’t come back."

Zhao Qingtang held Lin Tian’s hand and said, "I’ll go take a shower first, you wait for me."

Lin Tian teasingly said, "How about we shower together?"

Zhao Qingtang glanced back and glared at him, saying angrily, "Together? You really want me to be unable to walk?"

"Nourished by Spiritual Qi, it wouldn’t happen."

"Still no."

Just then, a sudden ’click’ sounded. Turning to look, Xu Wan came out from the room.

Zhao Qingtang was startled, immediately released Lin Tian’s hand, only to have it grabbed back by him.

Xu Wan looked at the two holding hands intimately, smiling sweeter than candied dates.

"Lin Tian, why are you holding Qingtang’s hand?" Xu Wan asked with a half-smile.

Zhao Qingtang glanced at Xu Wan reproachfully, shyly saying, "Grandma, isn’t that a rhetorical question?"

"Even rhetorical questions need to be asked. Also, Qingtang, as a girl, you should be a bit reserved. Next time, don’t shout so loudly at that time."

"Grandma! Don’t say it!" Zhao Qingtang really wanted to find a hole to crawl into, so embarrassed!

Suddenly, Xu Wan called out, "Lin Tian."

Lin Tian shuddered and responded, "Master’s wife, I’m here."

"Still calling me master’s wife? Isn’t it time you changed that?"

"..."

Xu Wan complained, "You two kids, being in a relationship is a good thing, why keep it a secret?"

Zhao Qingtang suddenly didn’t know how to explain, how could she say they just got together this morning? Xu Wan wouldn’t believe it.

"Mast... Grandma, it’s just that we weren’t ready yet." Lin Tian laughed awkwardly.

"Alright, I’ll give you both a bit more time to prepare. I know you’re busy, but my birthday is coming up, you’ll be there, right?" Xu Wan asked.

"Of course."

"Alright, alright, I know you young couple still have things to say. Grandma is going out for some morning exercise. Fix your own breakfast."

With that, Xu Wan waved her arms, humming a happy tune, and leisurely left the house.

Seeing Grandma off, Zhao Qingtang gave Lin Tian a small smack, complaining, "It’s all your fault, in less than two hours, my parents and grandpa will definitely know about this."

Lin Tian rubbed his nose, "I think, it won’t take more than ten minutes."

"Humph." Zhao Qingtang hugged Lin Tian’s arm, saying, "Now that my family knows, you have to take responsibility for me."

With a light tap on Zhao Qingtang’s behind, Lin Tian laughed, "Of course, right now I’ll first be responsible for washing you clean."

...

Zhao Qingtang was far from being as clingy as Lin Tian imagined. After spending a day together, Zhao Qingtang went back to the ancient medicine department; many matters were awaiting her attention.

And three days later, Lin Tian also had a banquet to attend: Wang Sijing and Zhou Chenghang’s wedding.

Even though he didn’t receive a wedding invitation, Yan Xinrou did, Bai Shishi did, and also people from various ancient martial families did. Lin Tian couldn’t stop the ancient martial families from attending the celebration because it involved not only the Wang Family but also circles in business, politics, and more.

In essence, Lin Tian could restrict the ancient martial families once or twice, but definitely not a third time. Besides, with his pair of eyes, he couldn’t watch over so many people.

Kanyue City Airport.

Lin Tian had been waiting at the reception for twenty minutes; today Miaoqiu was coming back from South City Xu Family Stream, naturally, he had to pick her up.

After a patient wait, Lin Tian finally saw Miaoqiu. She was as radiant as ever! Red lipstick, dark green sunglasses, and that low-V red petal dress, diamond earrings dangling from her earlobes.

Paired with ten-centimeter red high heels, her whole aura was accentuated. Walking in the crowd, she was the most dazzling one.

Countless men’s eyes fell on her, with greed, fascination, and admiration. There were also women watching her, envying her figure and the charm she exuded with every step, which was practically a natural nemesis for men!

Amid everyone’s gaze, this radiant and noble woman snuggled into the arms of a man with black sunglasses and a reserved demeanor.

In the hall of spectators, this woman kissed the man’s face twice with her red lips and let her hand roam his body.

Lin Tian restrained Miaoqiu’s hand, smiling as he asked, "Are you planning to strip me naked right here?"

Miaoqiu slightly lowered her head, her gaze peeking over the sunglasses. She coyly smiled, "I kind of want to. Let everyone see how great my husband’s body is—guys will feel inferior, and girls will envy."

"You’re such a little vixen!"

Miaoqiu smiled proudly, "You just figured that out?"

The two of them walked out of the airport arm in arm and got into the car. Taking off his sunglasses, Lin Tian asked, "Why did you suddenly come home? You didn’t even give me a heads up, I heard it from Qingcheng and the others."

Miaoqiu’s hand lay on Lin Tian’s thigh, moving deftly, she said, "What? Ruyan and Qingcheng can’t serve you well? Do you find life less fun without me?"

Lin Tian gave a helpless laugh, what a troublesome little vixen!

"Let’s get to business," Lin Tian said.

"Alright, you boring man," Miaoqiu pulled her hand back, saying, "My third uncle died."

"Third uncle? Xu Xichao?"

Lin Tian quite remembered him, a man of strong character.

"Yes."

"How did he die? After all, he was a high-ranking martial artist." Lin Tian asked. He had sparred with Xu Xichao, his skills were definitely not weak. Plus, Xu Family Stream was his territory, dying wouldn’t be easy.

Miaoqiu said, "Do you remember the monster bull you encountered when you and Aunt went out for alchemy?"

Lin Tian nodded, "Of course I remember, we narrowly escaped and even cut off one of its horns."

"He was gored to death by another horn."
