Chapter 2162: Chapter 2159: The Production Workshop

Wang Wanxi’s words came too suddenly, catching Lin Tian off guard. She had promised to use the power of the Yun Family and the Wang Family, but as time passed, Lin Tian almost forgot about it. Unexpectedly, Wang Wanxi had never forgotten.

Wang Wanxi stopped as well and said softly, "I have mobilized the power of the Yun Family and the Wang Family, and even asked the Ning Family and the Ou Family for help. You can imagine how powerful this energy is."

Lin Tian nodded in agreement and said, "I can imagine that with such power, it’s like finding a needle in a haystack—to find where the needle is."

The Yun Family and the Ou Family are located in the north and south respectively, with connections covering nearly half of Huaxia. Coupled with the special status of the Ning Family, and the Ancient Martial family Wang Family, these connections could not only find a person but even a needle.

But Wang Wanxi shook her head and said, "If you were just an ordinary person, with our methods, we could trace back three generations of your ancestors. But sadly, we still haven’t found your parents."

"There is a very high possibility that you are not the child of ordinary people, but come from the Ancient Martial World, or even... the Ancient Hidden Lineage!" Wang Wanxi said seriously, "I believe the Ling Pavilion Master has already mentioned the Ancient Hidden Stream to you. With your ability, you have the right to know."

"The Ancient Hidden Stream, again the Ancient Hidden Stream. It seems clearing up my background is also far away." Lin Tian said lightly, without much disappointment because he was used to it.

Wang Wanxi laughed and comforted, "I’m telling you this guess not to make you disappointed, but to make you more aware because, before long, you may have contact with the Ancient Hidden Stream, which is an opportunity."

"I’ll see what I can do. Even if I don’t find out, it doesn’t matter. I’ve gotten used to it anyway. No matter what, I still want to thank Aunt Wang for doing so much for me." Lin Tian smiled liberally, showing great generosity.

"I have already considered you as family. Finding your family is like finding my own family." Wang Wanxi said sincerely, her gaze affectionate.

She didn’t mention Yun Hongxi’s recovery, Yun Tian’s return, or her breakthrough in cultivation because, in her heart, there is something more important than these, which is family affection.

In the past, she treated Lin Tian as Yun Tian. Now, even if Yun Tian truly returns, this relationship cannot be erased.

"Go have fun. Don’t feel pressure in this competition. You can’t participate, not because you’re unqualified, but because you don’t need to." Wang Wanxi said with a smile.

"I know. Competing holds no significance for me." Lin Tian said casually, with confidence in his poise.

Saying goodbye to Wang Wanxi, Lin Tian returned alone to the exchange meeting. As he entered the courtyard, he suddenly thought of something: Wang Wanxi and Ling Zishan showed a different reaction to the Earth Armor Dragon Scale.

Both had a gleeful expression when they saw it, but Ling Zishan seemed to be more urgent. Given her identity and status, she’s seen countless treasures, certainly better than Earth Armor Dragon Scale Armor. Why is she so fond of this leather armor?

"Lin Tian..." A call interrupted his thoughts, and Lin Tian looked up to see Miss Xiao and several other beauties walk out.

"Walking while daydreaming, what possessed your soul?" Xiao Manxuan laughed.

"Surely discussing some secret with Aunt." Ling Shuiyao, pouting, seemed obviously upset about not being able to follow.

Seeing Ling Shuiyao’s raised eyebrows and wide eyes, Lin Tian felt moved and pretended to ask casually, "Miss Shuiyao, Aunt Ling seems to urgently need this leather armor. Could you tell me why? Surely your family doesn’t lack treasures, right?"

Ling Shuiyao blinked indifferently and said, "What’s so strange about it? Our family has crafting workshops, weapons, and gear. We have casters. Perhaps the workshop is lacking such materials."

"Compared to Master Tang Banqing, how are the casters of the Ling Family?" Yun Xiaotian asked curiously. Actually, Miss Xiao was also curious, reasoning that with Langya Pavilion’s resources, they should have cultivated master-level casters.

"How to put it? For example, if the materials for the Heavenly Tribulation Sword were available at Langya Pavilion, they could also forge the Heavenly Tribulation Sword." Ling Shuiyao said with ease, pride and confidence reflected in her words.

If Langya Pavilion truly could forge weapons of Heavenly Tribulation Sword’s level, they certainly have reason to be proud.

However, with their diversion, the matter Lin Tian wanted to inquire about couldn’t be touched upon; Ling Shuiyao probably hadn’t gotten to the point.

Lin Tian had to give up his investigation and said, "By the way, why aren’t you all shopping?"

"Nothing worth browsing, plus we can’t eat here." Xiao Manxuan shook her head, fully exposing her foodie nature.

"It’s past noon, perfect for Miss Shuiyao to fulfill the host’s role and take us for a bite." Lin Tian suggested.

The beauties laughed and clearly, Lin Tian hit the mark—they went out just to find food.

With Ling Shuiyao present, they satisfied their taste buds with mountain specialties, not just purely natural, non-toxic, and hormone-free foods, but also as food therapy.

Using her words, it was called medicinal cuisine, something passed down by the ancestors, beneficial for Ancient Martial Artist cultivation. Lin Tian remembered Zhuge Cai Zhe’s vegetarian dishes and Old Man Ling’s fish, which, in a way, were also medicinal cuisine.

Thinking about those two vegetarian dishes, Lin Tian recalled the matter of alchemy, wondering how long he’d linger at the Ling Family hoping to find Old Man Zhuge to discuss collecting red fungus and nameless root.

After dining, Ling Shuiyao took them on a tour until it was almost dusk with the sun setting. Lin Tian and the girls lived in different places, so he could only return to the back mountain alone.

At the pavilion, that beautiful senior sister was still at her post. As soon as she saw Lin Tian, she showed an odd smile.

"Senior Sister Ling Xiao, is there a handsome mark on my face? Why smile so oddly?" Lin Tian said amusedly.

Ling Xiao shook her head, wanting to laugh but embarrassed: "No, a girl named Situ Ruoling came by earlier, saying she was looking for Mr. Lin."

"Her? Where is she?" Lin Tian finally understood why Ling Xiao had an odd expression. Obviously, the dealings at the exchange meeting had spread here, and Situ Ruoling had come looking for him.

Ling Xiao probably thought Situ Ruoling had come to fulfill her promise—to serve Lin Tian for the night. Naturally, Situ Ruoling wasn’t eligible to enter the back mountain, couldn’t come up.

"I said Mr. Lin wasn’t here, and the girl said she’d come back after dinner, once the sun has set." Ling Xiao looked at Lin Tian with a profoundly meaningful smile.

This beautiful senior sister might be thinking, if a young girl comes at night, what else could it be but serving him?

Lin Tian had thick skin and wasn’t concerned, nor did he explain: "No need to bother with her, senior sister. Excuse me, I’m going up the mountain."

Saying goodbye to the beautiful senior sister, Lin Tian continued uphill, back to the small courtyard. He expected two old men to be playing chess, but instead, both were meditating, seemingly competing in stability.
