But Lin Ming Tian immediately gritted his teeth and said in a resolute tone: "No, I still have to go back and see my home with my own eyes first."
Ling Yuyan frowned deeply since she thought the future might change if Lin Ming Tian really went back to Spring River Town right now.
In the book, Lin Ming Tian was carried away by the fast-flowing river current when he was fainted and badly injured, then he was accidentally saved by the Elder of the Five Elements Sect.
Later, Lin Ming Tian was very grateful to the Elder of the Five Elements Sect and begged to become his disciple in order to exact revenge for his family, but he was rejected at first.
But under Lin Ming Tian's persistent effort, the Elder finally took Lin Ming Tian as his disciple and brought him to the Five Elements Sect, thus Lin Ming Tian's journey to avenge his family was officially begun.
If Lin Ming Tian came back to Spring River Town right now, he would be discovered by Wang Family, and Wang Family would definitely bring him back to the mansion to question him about the massacre incident.
In that case, Lin Ming Tian would definitely waste a lot of his time, and he would lose the rare opportunity to become the core disciple of the Elder from the Five Elements Sect.
'Damn~! Many of Lin Ming Tian's next plots involve that Elder from the Five Elements Sect, so he really cannot afford to miss the opportunity to become the core disciple of that elder.' Ling Yuyan thought in agitation.
It could even be said that the fate of that Elder from the Five Elements Sect and Lin Ming Tian would be tied closely with each other in the future.
Mostly, it would be a cliche plot like rivalry with the other elder's disciples, getting bullied by them, counterattack, and so on, but it was extremely important for Lin Ming Tian's future growth in strength and character.
In short, Lin Ming Tian's growth in order to face the future invasion of the demon race was secretly at stake at this moment.
Even Ling Yuyan did not expect that only by saving Lin Ming Tian at the last moment to copy his books and [Life Seal Condensing Method] would change the track of the future so much.
This was the reason why the butterfly effect was so scary.
'No way~! I cannot allow Lin Ming Tian to go back to Spring River Town. I have to push him to meet that Elder from the Five Elements Sect!' Ling Yuyan thought as she pondered her next moves really carefully.
Ling Yuyan cleared her throat and began to persuade Lin Ming Tian: "Brother Lin, I think you better not go back to Spring River Town for now."
Lin Ming Tian frowned, but he did not immediately get angry at Ling Yuyan's suggestion and decided to ask her instead: "Why?"
Ling Yuyan began to use her talking nonsense ability she obtained after reading so many novels to convince Lin Ming Tian...
"Brother Lin, those assassins clearly knew your Lin Family and your manor too well, so they should have a lot of 'eyes' in Spring River Town."
"If you come back to Spring River Town right now, they would surely know immediately. I am afraid, they would target you as the last member of Lin Family in order to erase all witnesses, and I doubt if Wang Family could really protect your life from them."
"You are the Lin family's last descendant and the whole hope of the Lin family is entrusted on your back. If you also got killed, then it means the entire Lin family would really perish. How could you explain to your family after you went to the underworld?!"
Ling Yuyan concluded her nonsense-but-make-sense speech and took a sip of water from the leather water bag to relieve her parched throat.
Lin Ming Tian's expression immediately turned even paler after he heard Ling Yuyan's explanation.
"You are right... But I... What should I do? I do not have any more place to go." Lin Ming Tian muttered weakly in a depressed and sorrowful tone.
This was the timing that Ling Yuyan had been waiting for...
"Brother Lin, do you really want to get stronger and avenge your family?" Ling Yuyan asked Lin Ming Tian in a solemn tone.
Lin Ming Tian's blank and depressed eyes instantly became clear as if he finally saw a light of hope right in front of him.
He immediately got closer to Ling Yuyan and muttered to her in an anxious tone: "Of course, I really want it so badly! Miss Yuyan, please tell me if you have a way!"
Ling Yuyan nodded in satisfaction at Lin Ming Tian's reaction, and she hastily said: "I heard there is a powerful elder from the Five Elements Sect living in seclusion nearby. If you can become his disciple, I am sure you can definitely become stronger quickly to avenge your family."
"Really? Are you sure the news is true?" Lin Ming Tian became very excited.
Ling Yuyan nodded her head and replied in a reassuring tone: "Of course, it's true. But it might not be easy to be that elder's disciple."
Lin Ming Tian was shining with firm determination as he said: "No matter how hard it would be, I will never give up before trying my best. Miss Yuyan, do you know the exact location of that powerful elder?"
"I do not know the exact location, but it seems he lives in the valley below the cliff. You might be able to find him if you search along the river in the valley." Ling Yuyan honestly told the information she knew to Lin Ming Tian.
Right at this time, An Yue approached Ling Yuyan and informed her: "Sister Yuyan, we have already finished copying all the books."
Ling Yuyan happily nodded her head and replied to An Yue: "That is great~! Thank you for your hard work, An Yue. You can store all of the copied books. Just give all of the original books to me."
An Yue stored all of the copied books including the copied manual of [Life Seal Condensing Method] into her [Shadow Empress Ring] and gave all of the original books to Ling Yuyan.
Ling Yuyan smiled brightly at Lin Ming Tian while giving back all of the books and the animal skin written [Life Seal Condensing Method] to him: "Thank you very much, Brother Lin. I actually really wanted to become a doctor to help many people since I was little, but unfortunately, I ended up being sold to Wang Family and became Wang Family's maid instead because my family did not have the money to even feed me."
This was not a complete lie...
Who hasn't dreamed of becoming a doctor when they were little, right?
It was also true that the real Ling Yuyan was sold by her family to Wang Family as early as a few years ago before she was replaced by the current transmigrated Ling Yuyan.
Lin Ming Tian immediately felt pity for Ling Yuyan and tried to comfort her: "It's all right, Miss Yuyan. Those books contain my family's medical inheritance. I am sure you can become a good doctor if you learn properly from those books."
After chatting for a while with Lin Ming Tian, Ling Yuyan stood up and said to Lin Ming Tian: "I am sorry, Brother Lin, but I have to go back right to Wang Family's mansion now."
"Ah? But it's still raining heavily outside..." Lin Ming Tian muttered in a tone mixed between worry and unwillingness.
"I know, but Miss Wang Qingling is still waiting for me to come back. I might get punished if I make her wait for too long." Ling Yuyan replied to Lin Ming Tian in a helpless tone.
This time Ling Yuyan lied to Lin Ming Tian because she did not want to talk too long with Lin Ming Tian. She was really afraid that she would accidentally reveal any crucial clue or information that would change the track of the future again.
After An Yue carried Ling Yuyan on her back, Ling Yuyan took out a bottle containing one [Marrow Cleansing Pill] from her spatial stone and gave it to Lin Ming Tian.
"This is my thank you gift that I have specially prepared for Brother Lin. I hope you can really become the disciple of that Five Elements Sect's elder. See you later, Brother Lin~!" Ling Yuyan said while smiling at Lin Ming Tian.
Ling Yuyan still has 11 [Marrow Cleansing Pills].
She already consumed one before and eating more would only nourish and strengthen her body, so it would be much better to just sell or give them to everyone close to her in the future.
Giving one [Marrow Cleansing Pill] to Lin Ming Tian could be counted as her investment to improve her relationship with the protagonist, Lin Ming Tian.
Ling Yuyan already tried to give An Yue one [Marrow Cleansing Pills], but unfortunately, An Yue rejected it by saying that she had consumed it before.
Lin Ming Tian wanted to reject Ling Yuyan's gift, but An Yue already flashed swiftly out of the cave while carrying Ling Yuyan on her back and disappeared from Lin Ming Tian's view along with all of her shadow guards.
Lin Ming Tian could only accept Ling Yuyan's gift with a helpless smile filled with gratitude on his face.
Lin Ming Tian sat again beside the bonfire with a silly smile on his face while uncorking the bottle to check the pill given by Ling Yuyan.
When he smelled the herbal scent from the pill, his expression immediately changed into astonishment as he exclaimed out loud: "This is... [Marrow Cleansing Pill]~?!"
He thought Ling Yuyan might probably give him a healing pill, but he never expected that Ling Yuyan actually give him a priceless pill like the [Marrow Cleansing Pill].
Lin Ming Tian instantly felt really moved by Ling Yuyan's kindness and generosity.
Not only did she point the future path to him, but she even gave him a priceless pill like [Marrow Cleansing Pill].
Lin Ming Tian had to admit that he really needed this [Marrow Cleansing Pill] to improve his root bones and martial arts talent if he wanted to be accepted as a disciple by the Five Element Sect's elder.
Lin Ming Tian secretly swore in his heart that he would definitely repay Ling Yuyan's kindness in the future.
…..
Coming out from the warm cave and rushing under the heavy rain and violent cold wind really made Ling Yuyan uncomfortable, but she did not mind it at all, since she immediately heard a pleasant notification sound from her Plundering System.
*Ding~!
[Congratulations~! You have successfully taken the chance from the protagonist (Lin Ming Tian).]
[You have obtained 2,000 Plundering Points for taking the protagonist (Lin Ming Tian)'s opportunity.]
[Since this is your first time plundering the protagonist's opportunity, you are rewarded with one Golden-tier Lottery Chance.]
"Holy cow~! 2,000 Plundering Points?! That's surely a lot~! And I even get one more Golden-tier Lottery Chance!" Ling Yuyan exclaimed in surprise and laughed in delight.
At first, Ling Yuyan really did not hope much since she only copied the medical books and [Life Seal Condensing Method] from Lin Ming Tian.
She thought it would not be counted by her Plundering System since she only 'copied' them, not 'stole' them like what she did to Wang Meng Yuan.
Who knew that her Plundering System actually gave her such generous rewards for it?!
But after thinking about it carefully, everything made sense since the [Life Seal Condensing Method] was actually the upper part of the divine-class martial art.
Even though it might be a bit useless right now since [Life Seal Condensing Method] did not have any attacking method without the lower part which contains the [Death Seal Chapter], but it was definitely many times more precious compared to Wang Qingling's mediocre martial arts opportunities.
