Chapter 17

Mu Qing and Shi Dong were both taken aback, looking at Lin Tian in disbelief.

"Good, good, good! What a fine principle of knowing what not to do and what must be done!"

Shi Dong's eyes sparkled.

Shi Dong and Mu Qing did not know the specific grievances between Lin Tian and Mo Sen, but these eight words made both of them feel their blood boil, as if they had returned to their youthful days.

"Youth, truly nostalgic."

Mu Qing sighed.

Once upon a time, he was also young and passionate like Lin Tian, but unfortunately, time could not be turned back.

Lin Tian stood quietly in place, not knowing what to say in response to their exclamations.

Noticing Lin Tian's expression, Shi Dong laughed, "Forgive me, forgive me."

The third round of the assessment had not yet ended, but Mu Qing and Shi Dong no longer needed to stay. They had come for Lin Tian, the nine-star talent, and he had not disappointed them.

Mu Qing told the middle-aged man to continue the assessment, then turned to Lin Tian and said, "Young man, come with us."

Lin Tian hesitated for a moment and said, "Elder, I have a younger sister outside. Can I go and bring her here first? I just killed Mo Sen, and I'm afraid the Mo family might harm her."

"Of course, go ahead."

Mu Qing nodded.

"Thank you, Elder."

Lin Tian bowed in gratitude.

He genuinely appreciated Mu Qing and Shi Dong.

"Go quickly, young man, no need for formalities. We'll wait for you at the Disciple Pavilion."

Shi Dong smiled.

Lin Tian didn't hesitate and ran toward the exit of the Wu Mansion.

Watching his back, Mu Qing and Shi Dong exchanged a smile, their satisfaction growing. "Talent, resolve, courage, strength, and manners—flawless in every aspect, truly perfect. And he's a good brother who cares for his sister. Ha, it seems we've really found a gem this time."

...

When Lin Tian brought Lin Xi back to the Nine Yang Wu Mansion, Mu Qing and Shi Dong had already arranged a residence for him. It was a small house, far from the grandeur of the destroyed Lin family's old residence, but the surroundings were pleasant and very quiet.

Most importantly, it was inside the Wu Mansion, very safe.

"Xiao Xi, don't go anywhere. Stay in the house, okay? I'll be back soon."

He said to Lin Xi.

"Okay."

Lin Xi nodded obediently.

Lin Tian smiled, pinched her little cheek, and after locking the door, headed toward the Disciple Pavilion.

The Disciple Pavilion was a special place in the Nine Yang Wu Mansion, mainly responsible for recording information about the disciples and managing their rewards and punishments. In short, almost everything related to the disciples was handled by the Disciple Pavilion.

When Lin Tian arrived at the Disciple Pavilion, a girl was standing at the entrance. She was about sixteen years old, with bright eyes and two pigtails, much prettier than Xiao Yun.

"Are you Lin Tian?"

The girl asked.

Lin Tian stopped, nodded, and then asked, somewhat puzzled, "Who are you?"

The girl giggled and said, "I'm Su Shu. My master told me to wait for you here."

"Master? Who is your master?"

Lin Tian's heart stirred.

Mu Qing and Shi Dong had told him to come here to find them. Could this girl's master be one of them?

"Old Man Mu, you know who it is."

Su Shu said.

Old Man Mu?

Mu Qing?

Lin Tian was immediately embarrassed. This pretty girl seemed a bit mischievous.
