CHAPTER 904: CHAPTER 899: HELLO

Zhu Ting’er discontented words snapped Lin Tian back to reality.

Lin Tian withdrew his gaze, feeling rather speechless and said, "Since when was I like Brother Pig? I just found that woman a bit odd, so I looked at her a few times!"

"Hmph, such heart doesn’t match your words!"

Zhu Ting’er gave Lin Tian a look of dissatisfaction and said with a snort, "You’re just staring because you think she’s pretty, calling her odd is just a lame excuse!"

With that, Zhu Ting’er turned her head away.

However.

She couldn’t resist a sneaky glance at the woman sitting not too far away from them.

Then she looked herself over.

After some private comparison, Zhu Ting’er even started to feel a little discouraged.

After all, her looks weren’t bad, evenly matched with that woman.

But, she looked at herself again and then at the other woman, her aura was a whole level higher.

Lin Tian came back to his senses and withdrew his gaze.

He also observed Zhu Ting’er’s subtle actions, couldn’t help but find it amusing, and said, "Are you jealous?"

"You... you’re talking nonsense! I’m definitely not!"

Zhu Ting’er’s face blushed, showing some dissatisfaction, and she huffed, "Hmph, besides, I don’t care!"

"Alright, you don’t care!"

Lin Tian glanced at Zhu Ting’er, shook his head slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Hmph, you men are all alike!"

Seeing Lin Tian shake his head, Zhu Ting’er gritted her silver teeth, looking all aggrieved.

Well, even if you are looking at a beauty, it’s none of your business!

Lin Tian couldn’t be bothered to argue with a little girl, so he chose to remain silent.

The two didn’t have to wait long before it was time to board.

Lin Tian carried Zhu Ting’er onto the train, found their seats, which were next to each other, carefully placed her down, and sat beside her.

By this time, other passengers were gradually boarding.

The seat across was still empty.

"Does the wound still hurt?"

After sitting, Lin Tian glanced at Zhu Ting’er’s wound. The redness had already disappeared; there were only a few small scars at the spot where the Cannibal Wolf Spider bit her.

"It’s a lot better now, just a little bit of pain! Thank you, Lin Tian!"

Zhu Ting’er shook her head with a smile, expressing her sincere gratitude to Lin Tian, "I really don’t know how to thank you! Maybe when we get to East Continent, I’ll treat you to a meal?"

"No problem! Although if you want to treat me, I won’t refuse. Who doesn’t like a free meal? But let’s talk about it when we arrive!"

Lin Tian chuckled as he replied.

If not for Zhu Ting’er’s injury, Lin Tian wouldn’t have bothered taking the high-speed train, since his Flying Sword was much faster.

However.

The current high-speed train was direct, super fast; it would take just about three or four hours to reach.

Zhu Ting’er mentioned that it wouldn’t stop at major cities like Xiangyang City and Han City, as it was an express train!

Since the Martial Arts Conference in East Continent hadn’t started yet, Lin Tian wasn’t rushing, so he didn’t mind.

While chatting with Zhu Ting’er, Lin Tian’s mobile phone suddenly vibrated and rang.

Taking out the phone, it was his mom, Xiao Lin, calling.

A warm feeling enveloped Lin Tian’s heart. He answered the call with a smile, "Mom, why are you calling again? Is there something urgent? Did Jii Xiaoyao come to bother you? I’m already on the high-speed train to East Continent and will head to Yanjing after things here are done!"

"No, no... Xiao Tian, don’t worry about us! Jii Xiaoyao did call, but she just said you readily agreed to break off the engagement with her. I’m glad you made up your mind!"

Xiao Lin seemed afraid Lin Tian would worry about the family, quickly explaining, and then added, "There’s something going on with Tangge over there; we can talk when you come to Yanjing. But I am concerned about your trip to East Continent this time. Would you reconsider going? Jii Xiaoyao mentioned earlier that she would also be going to East Continent; I’m worried you might encounter her and face trouble!"

"Jii Xiaoyao is going to East Continent too?"

Lin Tian was slightly startled, but then he laughed, "Mom, it’s fine. What’s she going to do to trouble me? Besides, East Continent is so vast, what are the chances we’d run into each other!"

"Oh, a mom just worries about the possibilities!"

Xiao Lin sighed once more, sounding helpless, "Xiao Tian, you don’t know those Young Masters and Noblemen in Yanjing; they act like dragons and phoenixes from the heavens, tolerating no flaws! You and Jii Xiaoyao have had the name of engagement, if you happen upon each other, she surely won’t let it slide. So, mom hopes you avoid confrontations when unnecessary!"

Having listened for so long, Lin Tian could hear his mom’s deep concern and worry, so he sincerely replied, "Mom, I hear you. If I run into Jii Xiaoyao or others like her, I won’t engage with them! Is that reassurance enough? You saw how quickly I ended the engagement; I have no longing for Jii Xiaoyao!"

"Alright, alright... then take care!"

Xiao Lin responded quickly, and then chatted for a bit before hanging up.

What could be happening with Tangge?

After hanging up the phone, Lin Tian felt puzzled.

He initially thought about calling Xu Tangge to check, but the result was an invalid number.

However.

Seeing that his mom wasn’t particularly anxious, Lin Tian figured it might be a delicate issue, so he decided not to dwell on it and would address it when he got to Yanjing.

Putting away the phone, Lin Tian turned.

He found Zhu Ting’er leaning in, her ear close to his shoulder.

She seemed to be eavesdropping on his conversation.

"Ah~"

Caught red-handed, Zhu Ting’er gave a cute yelp and quickly sat upright.

Lin Tian was rather speechless, but his face held a knowingly amused expression.

"You... you had an engagement?"

After a while, Zhu Ting’er bit her lip and asked.

"I did, but that was before."

Lin Tian slightly tilted his head to glance at her, softly replying.

While speaking, Lin Tian suddenly lifted his head in surprise, observing two figures entering the compartment, the very lady and old man who sat in the row in the waiting room with them earlier.

The woman and the old man walked over and sat on the side seat adjacent to theirs.

"Hmph, indeed a big perv!"

Seeing Lin Tian staring at the lady again, Zhu Ting’er pursed her small lips, clearly dissatisfied.

Lin Tian couldn’t help but smile wryly and withdrew his gaze.

At this moment, passengers were continuously boarding, across from Lin Tian and Zhu Ting’er sat a woman whose height, width, and depth were similar.

The woman took her seat, her plump figure resembling swimming rings, about the size of a water tank.

Sitting down, she pulled out a large bag of snacks from her backpack and started munching away, indifferent to the surroundings.

Such a broad physique naturally attracted attention; many male passengers silently rejoiced their seats weren’t near this woman.

Yet some were unfortunate.

A man carrying a black briefcase and wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked in front of the seat, his face immediately darkened upon seeing the round-faced, snack-eating woman.

There was only this seat, so he had to make do.

However.

After sitting down, the man noticed Zhu Ting’er across from him, his eyes brightened instantly.

"Hello, gorgeous! My name is Fang Yongzheng, a recently returned medical doctor from overseas study!"

Fang Yongzheng wore a graceful smile, reaching out to Zhu Ting’er with politeness.
