Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 886 - 883: Jianghu Charlatan

Arrived? Lin Tian looked out of the car window, and indeed there was no road ahead. Tall walls and iron gates blocked the way, behind these walls was the Yun Family.

The Yun Family is located halfway up the mountain. Whether horizontally or vertically, the boundaries can’t be seen. On both sides, only high walls are visible, hidden within the forest.

Standing in front of the gate, the buildings inside couldn’t be seen, but tall trees were visible, lush and green. Outside the gate stood a mysterious stone over three meters high, considered mysterious due to its peculiar shape, resembling a woman holding a baby.

"Mr. Lin seems quite interested in this stone," Wei Yongchang said with a smile.

"I am somewhat interested. The shape of this stone resembles a woman holding a baby, and from its appearance, this mysterious stone is naturally formed rather than man-made. Nature really is extraordinary," Lin Tian praised.

"Hahaha..." Housekeeper Wei laughed heartily upon hearing this, then said, "Mr. Lin has quite an eye. Many people at first glance think it’s man-made, but they’re all wrong; the mysterious stone was indeed naturally formed. There’s a story behind it."

"Uncle Wei, you’re at it again. Every time a new guest comes, you tell them the story. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve heard it growing up," Yun Xiaotian said with a somewhat bitter smile, helplessly.

Lin Tian glanced at Yun Xiaotian and laughed, "Xiao Tian, now you’ve said that, I’m even more intrigued. What is the history behind this stone?"

"Mr. Lin, speaking of this mysterious stone, we need to trace back to before Young Master Yun was born. At that time, Yun Tian, the first young master, went missing, and Old Master Yun hoped for another grandson. However, the family head and Lady Yun hadn’t had any new offspring.

Once, Lady Yun visited Putuo Island and accidentally found this mysterious stone by the sea. We all know Putuo Island is Guanyin of South Sea’s domain. Everyone then felt it was divine will, and brought the mysterious stone back, naming it Fertility Guanyin Stone.

Shortly after the Fertility Guanyin Stone was placed at the Yun Family, Lady Yun became pregnant with Young Master Yun, further convincing everyone that the stone brought luck to the Yun Family. Therefore, the Fertility Guanyin Stone holds great significance in the Yun Family," Housekeeper Wei recounted a fantastic story to Lin Tian.

The story was indeed peculiar, but Lin Tian was somewhat skeptical. Getting pregnant simply because of a stone seems unlikely; it’s not like it’s an ancient artifact, responding to the cosmic forces and granting Emperor Xuan Yuan a mystical birth.

But since it’s a Yun Family affair, Lin Tian didn’t wish to dampen their spirits, so he smiled and said, "The Yun Family is a convergence of twin dragons, indicating a dual offspring destiny. Moreover, the Yun Family is situated in the mountains, a place of hidden wind and gathered energy. With such blessings, what couldn’t be achieved?"

"Where’s this Jianghu fraudster, thinking a few pleasant words can earn a fortune from the Yun Family? If you lack skills, don’t embarrass yourself here!"

As soon as Lin Tian finished, a harsh voice came from behind, implying that Lin Tian was a Jianghu fraudster dabbling in superstition and feng shui.

It’s no wonder someone thought that way. Wealthy people and celebrities often believe in such things, trusting that feng shui affects one’s destiny, summarized in the saying: One fate, two luck, three feng shui; four accumulate virtue, five read books; six name, seven appearance, eight respect gods; nine connections with nobles, ten nourishing life.

But for those who don’t believe, these things are mere superstition, and they’ll immediately label you a Jianghu fraudster. Lin Tian figured he had encountered such a person.

Still, disbelief notwithstanding, starting with such sarcasm and aggressiveness is bullying, isn’t it?

Lin Tian had never been afraid of anyone and didn’t care about the other’s background. He sneered and said, "Who ate stinky tofu? As soon as you spoke, I smelled something foul. It’s really affecting my appetite."

After speaking, Lin Tian turned around to look back, where five or six people stood, among them a young man glaring at Lin Tian with anger. Judging by the situation, it was he who insulted Lin Tian as a Jianghu fraudster.

The young man was dressed neatly, his hair meticulously combed, with a particularly fair complexion, different from Yun Xiaotian’s. Yun Xiaotian conveyed an elegant feeling, while this young man gave off a dandy impression; it was a difference in demeanor.

On this dandy face, there was rage, clearly provoked by Lin Tian.

"Why are you glaring? Be careful not to pop your eyeballs out. Then you’ll be all eyes but blind. Anyway, now you’re lying through your teeth, just like someone with eyes without vision," Lin Tian calmly laughed.

"You... you..." The dandy pointed at Lin Tian, his finger trembling; unable to utter a complete sentence. When it comes to eloquence, Lin Tian had never lost.

"Looks like you’re not only blind but also stutter. Alas, so young, truly pitiful," Lin Tian continued.

The young man’s face flushed, taking a step forward, about to rush at Lin Tian, but a middle-aged man beside him held him back.

"Master, why are you stopping me? Let me teach him a lesson so that he learns how to behave!" the young man sternly said.

"Wei Yan, don’t be impulsive. This is the Yun Family; let’s show them some respect," the middle-aged man glanced at Lin Tian and said coolly.

Though the middle-aged man seemed calm, Lin Tian could see the hostility in his eyes. As the saying goes, consider the owner when beating a dog, respect the mentor when handling a disciple; only that the mentor’s scheming was deeper than the disciple’s.

"Master Liao, let’s not get angry over trivial matters. Let’s head inside," another young man said to the middle-aged man, during which he didn’t even glance at Lin Tian, treating him as a minor figure.

Although Lin Tian appeared spirited, his attire wasn’t remarkable. He didn’t wear the clothes Miss had purchased for him. People in high society have acute eyes, able to discern one’s clothing quality at a glance.

Moreover, these noble descendants were generally fair-skinned; with Lin Tian’s healthy complexion, he obviously appeared as an ordinary family’s child. Wealthy people live in comfort; who among them isn’t delicately nurtured with fair skin?

It wasn’t just this young man; the other several young men also didn’t give Lin Tian a direct look, and if they did, it was merely a sidelong glance. Their arrogance was blatant.

It wasn’t that they were specifically targeting Lin Tian; it was the way these family elites inherently thought, appearing superior when facing ordinary people.

A village chief regards ordinary villagers with disdain, while a mayor looks down on a village chief; the county magistrate views the mayor in the same way.

Even petty village officials treat ordinary folks like this, not to mention young people born into high society.

The middle-aged man nodded, following the young man towards the Yun Family gate, but stopped as they passed Lin Tian.
