"You can give it a try. If the Miss is busy, I can accompany the Second Miss," Lin Tian thought for a moment and agreed.

The Miss's sect can produce an Innate Expert like Tang Ziqing, it must be extraordinary; maybe her uncles and seniors really know about Xiao Manxuan's special energy.

"You can't go," Tang Ziqing glanced at Lin Tian and said flatly.

"Why can't I go? I'm the Second Miss's bodyguard, it's my responsibility to protect her by her side," Lin Tian frowned and said.

Xiao Manxuan nodded like a little chick pecking rice, the little girl also wanted Lin Tian to go with her. Although it was her sister's sect, she felt no sense of security in a place she didn't know well.

Tang Ziqing remained indifferent, saying, "I don't care who you are. If I say you can't go, then you can't go."

Damn it, acting all high and mighty, who can't be arrogant? I can too, Lin Tian couldn't stand people like this, looking down on everything; his temper flared, eyes wide, ready to speak up.

The Miss quickly held him back, whispering, "Lin Tian, don't. If it were my dad making this request, the sect wouldn't allow it either. The master isn't targeting you specifically."

"Miss, that sounds a bit mysterious," Lin Tian said confusedly. "Your sister can go, but your dad can't? That's discrimination against men?"

"Manxue, I'll be in Xikou City for a few more days, prepare to depart whenever you're ready. This matter shouldn't be delayed too long," Tang Ziqing said, giving no further explanation, not even looking at Lin Tian before turning around and leaving the Xiao Family's bedroom.

"Wow, your master is even more arrogant than me," Lin Tian said with wide eyes.

When Lin Tian first met the Miss, she was quite impressive and proud too. At least you could feel her emotions; Tang Ziqing was completely an ice block, even her speech carried coldness.

"Lin Tian, don't take it to heart, my master's personality is always like this, but she's actually a nice person. You'll see once you get to know her," the Miss said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Getting to know her is unnecessary; I can't handle it," Lin Tian said indifferently. Even if Tang Ziqing were to strip naked on the bed, he might not react. A woman constantly exuding coldness like that should be kept at a distance to avoid discomfort.

"By the way, Second Miss, when do you plan to leave? Although people find Tang Ziqing arrogant, she wasn't wrong in what she said. The Second Miss's affair shouldn't be delayed," Lin Tian continued.

The Miss turned to her sister and said, "Tomorrow is when you start filling in your school preferences. You can leave after you and Xuanxuan have done it."

"We can fill in preferences already? Why didn't I know?" Lin Tian asked, puzzled. Lately, with everything going on, he's been so busy he could forget his own surname, let alone filling in college applications.

The Miss rolled her eyes at him, full of disdain, "In a few more days, you might even forget where the school is."

"That's something I wouldn't dare forget, or else Teacher Fang wouldn't let me off easily," Lin Tian laughed.

"Actually, Teacher Fang Ming called to remind us. Since you disappeared without notice last time, Teacher Fang was very worried, but couldn't find you. She called here instead," the Miss explained candidly.

"The Ning Family's status is quite special; there are some things I don't want to involve them in," Lin Tian paused for a moment before speaking. "That's why I left without notice. You didn't tell Aunt Fang anything, did you, Miss?"

The Miss replied helplessly, "Don't take me for a three-year-old child, I understand that too, so I couldn't directly tell her. I just said there was an important contract from the company that needed your signature, so you were called back. Just don't say anything to ruin it later."

"That's good," Lin Tian nodded, then turned to the Second Miss. "Second Miss, you must wear this Ice Soul Necklace at all times, don't let anyone else touch it, understand?"

"Hmm, I know," Xiao Manxuan said absentmindedly, unclear if she was upset about not being able to learn cultivation techniques or uneasy about the impending journey.

But the stubborn little girl said nothing because she knew the people around her had given too much for her, and she couldn't be as willful as before.

"Lin Tian, Lingyu, you both have been busy for a few days, go and rest now. There shouldn't be anything happening for now," the Miss said with some apology yet gratefully.

Lin Tian nonchalantly waved his hand and walked out, while the Second Miss opened her mouth to speak, yet Lin Tian and Zhang Lingyu had already left.

"Xuanxuan, can't bear to see them go?" the Miss teased.

"Sister, you're teasing me. Lin Tian is such a big bad guy, I wouldn't miss him," Xiao Manxuan said, blushing and quickly denying.

The Miss shook her head helplessly, "I was talking about Zhang Lingyu, what were you thinking?"

Xiao Manxuan's face turned even redder. She jumped onto the bed and buried herself under the covers, refusing to come out.

"Xuanxuan, what on earth happened these days? I can see from Lin Tian's eyes that something must have happened, something unforgettable, but I really can't figure out what it could have been," the Miss looked towards the door, her tone suddenly drifting.

Xiao Manxuan poked her head out from under the covers, lost in thought. It seemed she was about to remember something, but suddenly the thoughts would scatter, unable to piece them together. Eventually, she found nothing, and the sisters both stared at the door, each lost in their own thoughts.

Lin Tian had already gone down to the second floor, ready to say goodbye to Zhang Lingyu and return to his room, but Zhang Lingyu called him over.

"Come out," Zhang Lingyu said without looking up, and without waiting for Lin Tian's response, she walked out first.

Lin Tian scratched his head, thinking about how these women were not acting normally today. Despite his curiosity, he decided to follow her downstairs.

They walked to the courtyard, Zhang Lingyu kept her head down, walking briskly. Lin Tian couldn't help but ask, "Zhang Lingyu, Celestial Master, you called me out without saying a word, what's going on?"

"Go to the garage and bring a car out," Zhang Lingyu said without turning her head.

"Alright, I won't eat or drink, anything for you today, is that okay?" Lin Tian said helplessly.

He went to the garage, brought out the bulletproof car. Zhang Lingyu opened the door and sat in the back seat.

Something's up! Lin Tian noticed her sitting in the back seat instead of the passenger's seat, immediately suspecting she had something on her mind.

Sitting in the passenger seat when you're in someone else's car is a form of respect for the driver, a matter of etiquette, which she should understand given her education. Since they were friends, the only reason she'd sit in the back was to avoid showing Lin Tian her expression.

"Alright, the car's out. Now, Beautiful Sky Master, please let me know what you want, are we going for a ride, shopping, or is this a date?" Lin Tian patiently inquired, ending with a small tease.

On a typical day, such teasing from Lin Tian would have surely earned him a talisman thrown his way; the memory of the trash can explosion was still vivid.

Zhang Lingyu only said blandly, "Find a place with no people."
