Chapter 708: Do Not Provoke Yin Tian!_1

~5 min read 857 words

"Alright, get lost."

Yin Tian waved his hand dismissively.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Yuhao and his group were about to leave, Yin Tian spoke again, "Take him with you too; he’s an eyesore."

With a shudder, Xuanyuan Yuhao and his people clumsily picked up Chu Renjie and scurried away into the distance.

Turning his attention back to Chi Yuxian, Yin Tian had not yet spoken when Chi Yuxian had already started to plead, "Master, please return with me to the Chi Family to take charge!"

"..."

"Do I look like someone who could lead troops into battle?"

"You don’t need to do anything, Master. You just need to sit in the Central Military Tent, and leave the rest to us."

"..."

"Forget it, I’m used to living leisurely. Moreover, your family is the Chi Family, and my surname is Yin. How would it look for someone surnamed Yin to become the Family Head of the Chi Family?"

"Our Chi Family could change its name to Yin."

"..."

"You are older than I am, so I should be calling you ’Mr. Chi’."

Yin Tian looked at Chi Yuxian earnestly, "Mr. Chi, please retract your order. I really can’t meet your request."

"I shall follow Master’s command in all things."

Chi Yuxian said respectfully.

As a soldier, his first lesson had been to obey orders unconditionally.

Seeing that Chi Yuxian finally relented, Yin Tian sighed with relief, "You’ve already managed to raise the Chi Family to one of the six major families of the Imperial City, which proves your capabilities. Just continue as you are, and pretend I don’t exist."

"Yes."

"Alright, you can go too. I’m heading home."

Yin Tian waved his hand as he spoke.

"Would Master require me to dispatch a division of troops to protect you and your residence?"

"No need, no need..."

Yin Tian was taken aback by Chi Yuxian’s generosity.

Just the offer of a division of troops, no less than the well-equipped, battle-hardened Border Army!

"Is that so..."

Chi Yuxian shook his head sadly, then said, "Master, my father has always wished to see the Family Head again to express his gratitude for saving his life years ago, but the Family Head is hard to locate."

"If you have time, could you visit the Imperial City, to fulfill my father’s wish? I’m worried he might not last long enough to see the Family Head again."

Looking at Chi Yuxian’s dejected expression, Yin Tian pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Fine, tomorrow then."

"Good."

Chi Yuxian spoke with immense excitement, "If my father learns of this, he will be very happy!"

Afterward, he glanced at Mu Lingshan standing by Yin Tian’s side and softly said, "So, Master, I’ll take my leave first."

"Go ahead."

Once again, Chi Yuxian bowed deeply to Yin Tian and then turned to leave.

"Tian, what on earth has happened to you over these years..."

Mu Lingshan stared blankly at Yin Tian.

Her memory of Yin Tian was still that of the little boy who wasn’t as tall as she was, the one who used to hold her hand.

She never expected that upon meeting Yin Tian again, he would have transformed into a strong, independent man of unyielding spirit!

"A lot has happened, Shan. If you want to hear about it, I’ll tell you slowly later," Yin Tian said, reaching out to take Mu Lingshan’s hand. "For now, it’s time we went home."

"Mhm..."

Mu Lingshan’s face turned slightly red, and she followed Yin Tian as they walked into the distance.

Seeing Yin Tian and Mu Lingshan finally walk away, Tang Weijin carefully stood up, an idea firmly taking root in his mind.

That idea was that from now on, he must never provoke Yin Tian!

...

Yin Mansion.

Upon hearing the powerful roar of an engine outside, Su Qinwei and the other girls in the courtyard all turned their heads to look towards the gate.

Then, they saw Yin Tian walking in with a girl.

"I was wondering why it took you so long to return. Turns out you went and picked up another girl," Su Qinwei said with a chuckle, covering her mouth.

The other girls also began to laugh.

Standing behind Yin Tian, Mu Lingshan, upon seeing a courtyard full of girls with various auras yet all stunningly beautiful, looked at Yin Tian with a grin, "Tian, not bad, you’re quite lucky with the ladies."

Yin Tian laughed awkwardly, "It’s all thanks to master’s good judgment."

Mu Lingshan walked forth confidently and greeted the girls, "Nice to meet you, sisters."

"Sister is so pretty," Zhen Huayi exclaimed in amazement.

When it came to looks, it was hard to pick a clear winner among the girls.

However, Mu Lingshan, being slightly older, exuded a more mature and composed presence.

"You few get to know each other, I need to get some rest," Yin Tian told them.

"Wait," said Mu Lingshan, stopping Yin Tian.

Yin Tian paused, turned around, and looked at her questioningly.

"Tian, you said earlier..."

Mu Lingshan’s face held a hopeful expression.

"You said you knew a way to heal my condition, is that true?"
