Chapter 210 - Shui Script and Soul Wood (2/2)

Luodong casts a glance at his sister and he wants to tell everybody proudly that his sister is a cultivator. Instead, he says loudly,

“Of course!”

Yan Feng gloats and Rong Donglin is speechless. Rong thinks that Luodong is young and imaginative and he certainly believes in the existence of cultivators.

Professor Qi smiles.

Lin Luoran calms herself down and pretends to be carelessly. She asks, “The spirited wood Rong just talked about sounds like a lot of fun. Professor, is there anything else that the bamboo sheets recorded about this?”

“The bamboo sheets are the treasures of our country. We have to be extremely careful while trying to read them. There are still a lot of bamboo sheets which haven’t been cleaned yet. I know nothing more about the wood.”

The treasures of the country?

Lin Luoran is surprised. She has become bolder these days. She would be scared if she heard of the words “treasures of the country” before. Now, all she is thinking about is to get these bamboo sheets… Lin doesn’t mind becoming a thief as long as she can save Baojia.

Lin drives Professor Qi and Rong Donglin to the site of the ancient tomb and gives Yan Feng a lift back to the university. Then she heads home with Luodong. Along the road, Lin doesn’t tell anyone about what she is thinking.

However, as a sensitive kid, Luodong gets a feeling that his sister is being sneaky. Ludong s.h.i.+vers when he sees Lin Luoran’s smile. Luodong remembers that the last time his sister smiled like this, she traded the boluses she made for a lot of jade.

Lying in Lin Luoran’s arms, the cyan little fox yawns.

Spirited wood that can gather souls? The little fox has a fuzzy memory about it. Since Lin doesn’t ask it about the wood, the little fox just stops trying to remember. It falls asleep.

On the next day, Lin Luoran gives Zeng Tian a call.

Zeng is upset yet excited. He comes to Lin’s house by request and sits with Lin Luoran under a tree for a cup of tea. Lin tells Zeng her intention.

Mr. Lin has just returned from the villa on Mount Qingcheng with some spirit wine. He sees Zeng Tian and asks him to have a drink. Zeng a.s.sumes that Mr. Lin is going to treat him with spirit wine again, yet he decides to turn Mr. Lin down this time.

Though Lin Luoran’s need is wild, Zeng Tian feels relieved and starts to smile after leaving Lin’s house.

He doesn’t care what Lin wants at all. He only wants to fix his relations.h.i.+p with her. Since she has asked, this is the perfect chance for Zeng to make amends… Anyway, Zeng already feels blessed because not many cultivators can have the opportunity to visit Lin’s house.

Zeng Tian begins to make phone calls immediately to satisfy Lin’s needs. After Zeng left, Lin Luoran tells her family that she is going to have closed cultivation and she goes into the bas.e.m.e.nt.

If Zeng Tian could give her the information on the Soul Wood, she would have to go on a trip. For the safety of her family, Lin must hurry up and make the s.h.i.+eld.

Looking at the scorpion sh.e.l.l in the bas.e.m.e.nt and all the other ingredients, Lin feels confident.
