Chapter 84 - Seniors in the Level of Laying Foundation (1/2)

“Master, welcome back!” As Mu Tiannan stops the car in front of a villa in European style, a bunch of girls in maid outfit come out and greet him all with one voice. Lin Luoran has a vague feeling that she is about to have a mental meltdown…

Master! Maid outfit! I￥%￥…!

Mu Tiannan notices that Lin Luoran is annoyed so he hurries to shoot a glance at those naughty girls in order to tell them to go away. He smiles awkwardly, “This is where I live. My grandpa lives up on the hills and he barely goes out. I’m afraid that we have to walk to him.”

So, she comes here to save a life and she has to carry the stone up to the hills? Although Lin Luoran is benign, she feels a little displeased. Unlike Liu Zheng who is a careful observer, Mu Tiannan doesn’t notice Lin’s displeasure at all.

After all, Lin Luoran is an adult and she can’t just leave. She gets off the car, asks Mu Tiannan to carry the stone and heads to the hills.

The path up the hills is narrow, and it is very wet and muddy due to the rain last night. Lin Luoran is light-footed, so her shoes barely touch the ground. Carrying a heavy stone, Mu Tiannan is not able to employ his Gravity Defying Kung Fu, and his white leather shoes handmade in Italy are covered in mud soon.

Mu Tiannan looks at Lin Luoran who seems relaxed and easy. He gnashes his teeth and thinks, cultivators are cool. Should he badger with grandpa and ask for an opportunity to follow the path of cultivation?

Lin Luoran turns around and looks at charming Master Mu’s embarra.s.sment caused by the mud. Her displeasure changes into a glimmer of amus.e.m.e.nt. She holds back her smile and keeps walking.

There is no crossroad. The two of them walks fairly fast and they arrive at the end of the road within a few minutes.

A small straw hut surrounded by fences covered by morning glories is on the hill. Mountain fog lingers, making the hut fairy. Lin Luoran is relieved. This finally looks like the place where cultivators live in.

She doesn’t try to hide her steps, so people inside of the hut already notice her incoming.

“Miss Lin, please don’t blame me for not greeting you earlier. This indeed is an emergency. Please come in.” A voice comes from the hut. It sounds a little weak, but quite loud.

“It’s my grandpa speaking.” Carrying the stone, Mu Tiannan is out of breath. He is trying to hide this because he doesn’t want Lin Luoran to look down upon him.

Lin Luoran checks her clothes and makes sure there is not a stain on them. Then she goes ahead and pushes the unlocked door open.

There seems to be some smoke surging inside of the room. Cus.h.i.+ons made of straw are lying on the ground. The hut looks like a place for spiritual retreat — it suddenly comes to Lin Luoran that she can also make some cus.h.i.+ons out of the “weeds” in her s.p.a.ce.

Grandpa Mu is not alone in the hut as Lin Luoran used to imagine. Another old man is also sitting on a straw cus.h.i.+on. One of the old men is sitting in the back of the other with hands on the back of the man in the front, which is exactly like the healing scenes in TV shows.

The old man with silver hair sitting in the back opens his eyes and nods to Lin Luoran while she comes in. Lin Luoran a.s.sumes that he is Grandpa Mu since he and Mu Tiannan look alike.

Since Grandpa Mu has the strength to heal another man, Lin Luoran believes that it’s not him who needs the refined jade — so, the other old man who is sitting with his legs crossed needs the jade to extend his life?

Lin Luoran tries to probe the old man with her spirit, and she senses a strong power. Lin Luoran is shocked to discover that even the old man who needs to be healed is a cultivator in a much higher level than herself!

Are they both seniors in the level of Laying Foundation?
