CHAPTER 1074: CHAPTER 1071: XIAJING (PART 2)

Lin Tian thought about it repeatedly, maybe Miss felt that my vacation was too long? A woman’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; it’s impossible to comprehend. Lin Tian simply stopped thinking about it, having already agreed to Ning Luoxi; he can only stay temporarily in Jinghua City.

Logically, if the two sisters are going back, Xiao Manxuan would make a call, yet Lin Tian read a book for half the day without seeing a call from Xiao Manxuan. He thought helplessly that the little girl was probably forbidden by Miss to send me texts. Staying a few more days wouldn’t hurt, but Miss’s anger is really baffling.

The next morning, while Lin Tian was still training, his phone beeped with a text alert. He finished training and checked; it was from Xiao Manxuan.

"Bad guy, did you upset Sister? She won’t let me call you, but don’t worry, I will try to ease her, lest your salary is deducted. I heard you still have matters in Jinghua City, so I’m heading back to Xikou City first. Stay safe and don’t miss me."

Seeing these words, Lin Tian seemed to imagine Xiao Manxuan hiding in a corner typing the message, and couldn’t help but smile. Such a little girl always makes people smile from the heart.

Thinking for a while, Lin Tian replied with a text: "I can’t do as you ask not to miss, but I’ll return soon. Also, let Miss watch out for the Bai Family and Sun Hai. They’ve undergone such drastic changes, surely harboring resentment and might be detrimental to the Xiao Family."

After sending this text, the little girl didn’t reply anymore, perhaps she boarded a plane or went to discuss matters with her sister.

Thinking about the upcoming dive, it’s a place completely isolated from the outside world, no communication or daylight. If anything happens during this time, it would be troublesome, so Lin Tian dialed another number.

"Brother Tian, any instructions?" Rossi’s familiar voice sounded.

"Keep an eye on the Bai Family’s movements after returning, and investigate Sun Hai’s whereabouts. If he dares to harm the Xiao Family, make sure he disappears from the world," said Lin Tian coldly.

Rossi still didn’t ask any reason, respectfully saying, "Understood, Brother Tian."

"The Xiao Family mother and daughter have boarded the plane. You should also take the nearest flight back to Xikou City. Well, that’s all. And again, be careful not to provoke Zhang Lingyu, take care," Lin Tian finally advised.

Hanging up Rossi’s call, Lin Tian continued to train.

The daytime passed quickly. After dinner, Lin Tian waited while reading in the study.

Outside the window, a slight sound suddenly rang, followed by a graceful figure jumping inside. Lin Tian glanced at the figure and laughed, "Miss Luoxi’s window-climbing skills are becoming more refined."

Ning Luoxi didn’t respond to Lin Tian but dropped her backpack to the ground, saying, "Put on the diving suit; all necessary equipment for the dive is in the waterproof backpack."

Lin Tian opened the backpack and found everything well-prepared. Ning Luoxi, as an instructor, naturally had unquestionable wild survival experience. He moved behind the bookshelf, and when he emerged, he was already in full gear, but wearing loose casual clothes over it, so outsiders couldn’t see anything amiss.

"Let’s go. It’s dark now, and no one is there. We should get underground first; being seen wouldn’t be good," Ning Luoxi urged.

Lin Tian didn’t dawdle, slung the waterproof backpack, and climbed out the window with Ning Luoxi, leaving the Yun Family premises. Ning Luoxi got into an off-road vehicle, and Lin Tian naturally sat in the passenger seat. The vehicle started and disappeared into the night.

The off-road vehicle quickly arrived near Beixinqiao, and Ning Luoxi parked in a roadside spot. Then she began undressing right in front of Lin Tian.

"Uh, Miss Luoxi, what are you doing? I’m a pure person," Lin Tian said disingenuously, as his eyes were fixed on Ning Luoxi’s actions without blinking.

Ning Luoxi shot him a cold look and said, "Hurry up and undress too. Do you want to dive wearing your regular clothes?"

Damn, I misunderstood. Lin Tian felt a bit miffed, but the next moment he didn’t remain miffed, almost getting a nosebleed. Ning Luoxi, who had taken off her outer clothes, wore a tight diving suit, her excellent figure unreservedly revealed: slender waist, rounded hips, and her prominent chest made Lin Tian agitated.

Perhaps sensing Lin Tian’s wolfish gaze, Ning Luoxi drew a dagger from her backpack, wiped it on her clothing, and then inserted it in the strap on her calf.

The look was clearly threatening, conveying the message that if he dared to act indecently, he’d be castrated.

Castration or not, Lin Tian was unconcerned, as ordinary blades were ineffective against his zombie body, except when Miss unleashed Sword Qi; Lin Tian had to be wary.

Lin Tian quickly undressed, threw his outerwear into the waterproof backpack, and like Ning Luoxi, strapped a dagger to his calf.

"Let’s go, hurry up, and don’t let anyone spot us," Ning Luoxi instructed, then got out of the car. Lin Tian understood her meaning; being seen in diving suits on the streets would terrify people.

Thus, upon exiting the car, Lin Tian accelerated; in the alley, nobody could see his figure, only a gust of wind blew past as he already stood by the Dragon-locking Well. Moments later, Ning Luoxi arrived.

Ning Luoxi fetched an iron rod from her backpack, inserted it into the manhole’s round hole, and pried strongly; the manhole cover creaked open. Who could have thought such a beautiful woman could be so violent at work?

Once the manhole cover opened a corner sufficient for passage, Ning Luoxi jumped in. Lin Tian thought she might directly dive into the water, but upon closer inspection, she was clinging to the chain below.

Lin Tian also copied her, slid in, then grasped the chain, and with its help, sealed the manhole. From the outside, nobody would know someone was already below the Dragon-locking Well.

With the manhole sealed, the well went pitch-black, but this posed no challenge for Lin Tian. His night vision allowed him to see clearly in any dark environment.

Of course, he couldn’t show this, so Lin Tian deliberately slid down, pressing toward Ning Luoxi’s body. As Lin Tian was about to make contact, Ning Luoxi suddenly turned on the light, beaming it right into Lin Tian’s eyes.

Lin Tian had to stop the movement, internally lamenting the lost opportunity. Under the ancient well, with a single man and woman, Lin Tian hoped for some occurrence, who knew Ning Luoxi was too vigilant. He had no chance to even approach.

Nevertheless, Lin Tian thick-skinned asked nonchalantly, "Miss Luoxi, aren’t you using oxygen tanks for diving later? This waterway might be a bit long."

The waterway wasn’t just a bit long but extremely so. Lin Tian had previously investigated using his clairvoyance, finding some section he hadn’t seen yet. Such a lengthy waterway, even the world’s best diver couldn’t go so far without oxygen tanks; human breath-holding has its limits.

Ning Luoxi calmly glanced at Lin Tian, saying, "If they were my team members, they would need oxygen tanks. But I don’t; I’ve swum the entire waterway, no problem holding my breath through."
