The Ghost of Fog
Chapters 150. I Have Betrayed
Zhang Qiaofeng and Lin Tian had been living for a week in the Lotus Flower Association headquarters. Within a week, Zhang Qiaofeng continued to train daily under the guidance of Cin Kok, who volunteered to share some of his knowledge.
One of them is dagger science which he named Taring Tigers Pencabik. This science is very suitable with Zhang Qiaofeng, because in addition to relying on speed in each attack, this science also requires the user to have strong power. This was very good for Zhang Qiaofeng as it forced the girl to train her attacking power to be more sturdy and steady, not just relying on speed alone like before.
While Lin Tian? Everyday he only saw his nona practicing while occasionally chatting with Kim Chao, or he himself would train alone. Not infrequently he read the little book he had memorized but until now he did not understand what it meant. Well, of course everyone already knows what the book is.
This sunny morning, Lin Tian and Zhang Qiaofeng had already packed up and were ready to leave the headquarters of the Lotus Flower Society. In front of the Cin Kok residence, the two of them were bidding farewell to the host.
"Thank you for your guidance all along, sir!" zhang Qiaofeng exclaimed in spirit while bowing his body.
"I'm really happy to be able to help my own brother" replied Cin Kok, who had students behind him. They were going to take the two men away.
"And thank you also to grandfather Kim who has volunteered to accompany my bodyguard. Hehe, it seems that he is lonely because he rarely talks to me." Zhang Qiaofeng continued to Kim Chao. Continued with a slight tease of Lin Tian.
"Haha, it's okay miss, I'm glad to be able to chat with Mr. Lin Tian whom I haven't seen in his face at all." Kim Chao replied half-sneaked.
Instantly broke all of their laughter, but it was not a mocking laughter, they laughed only because Kim Chao's words were true. It was strange indeed, Kim Chao and Lin Tian were already very familiar, yet the grandfather had not lied about him having never seen Lin Tian's face.
Lin Tian remained unmoved in a place like a statue, for some reason what the intent of his strange actions was.
"Then, we beg of you sir" Zhang Qiaofeng said after all the laughter subsided. Back he was enraged and followed by Lin Tian anyway.
"Be careful on the road." replied Cin Kok while jutting along with all his students.
But before Zhang Qiaofeng turned around, Lin Tian suddenly said, "Master, for that stolen book, I will put in the most effort. Since I already know how the movement of the book is, I would know him if the thief showed his knowledge."
"Hm, but are you sure you can meet the thief? No need to bother." reply Cin Kok.
"I'm sure I'll meet him, because I'll find him until I can." Lin Tian said.
Cin Kok just nodded, but actually he did not expect too much. Because aside from not wanting to trouble others, he also intended to investigate this matter himself. Because he knew, the thief was certainly not weak from being able to kill the third level members of his society.
"Then we say goodbye" Zhang Qiaofeng said and left from there.
...****************...
"Lin Tian, let's stop here first, I want to take a bath." Zhang Qiaofeng exclaimed with sparkling eyes as he looked at a vast and clear lake of water.
"All right, miss." Lin Tian replied briefly when Zhang Qiaofeng said that.
Seeing Lin Tian still standing there, puffing his reddish cheeks, Zhang Qiaofeng denounced, "Why still stand there, I will take off my clothes. There go!"
"Sorry miss." back Lin Tian said briefly and turned around. Then go from there, enter the forest that is not far from the lake.
Zhang Qiaofeng frowned, something was strange he thought. He was very well acquainted with Lin Tian's cold disposition and tended not to care about it. However a little Lin Tian, during his memories had never Lin Tian acted that coldly to him. At least he will answer every word with a sentence that is not so short as before.
However, Zhang Qiaofeng did not care and just shook his shoulders. Maybe his mood was bad, he thought.
When Lin Tian's shadow was gone, Zhang Qiaofeng immediately took off all his clothes and without any hesitation, he jumped into the enormous and clear well.
As for Lin Tian who was leaving his nona, he immediately walked away and sat under a large tree. Coincidentally under the tree there was a stone as big as a buffalo child, this young man then sat there.
If Zhang Qiaofeng had seen the face plastered behind the pale mask, he would have been concerned and worried. Because, the water on Lin Tian's face right now was very murky and unsightly. His eyebrows clutched together, making a deep frown on his forehead, his eyes were full of grief and uneasiness. His face was slightly pale and his lips were slightly blue.
Perhaps around fifteen minutes passed, Zhang Qiaofeng was already done with his bath. When the girl came to her place, Lin Tian was made fixated. The long, wet hair and fresh face were absolutely gorgeous, as if it could sedate any man who looked at her.
But alas, it seems that Zhang Qiaofeng's prejudice was true. Right now Lin Tian was in a bad mood, so he only felt awe in a single instant before returning moody.
"You don't want to shower Lin Tian?" zhang Qiaofeng asked as soon as he arrived before the young man.
"No, it was still early and cold" replied the young man who managed to make the questioner frown.
Is it still cold? Isn't your skill cold playing? The girl thought full of astonishment.
"Hm, is that it? Then let's go back on our way." the girl finally said after forgetting her astonishment.
Lin Tian did not reply and simply nodded as he descended from the rock. Then without saying another word, he walked ahead of his nona and went towards the direction of Zhang's residence.
Still with increasing astonishment, Zhang Qiaofeng tailed behind Lin Tian.
...****************...
"Enough Lin Tian!!!" Zhang Qiaofeng slammed the finished chicken bones into the bonfire. His eyes shone furiously as he snapped at Lin Tian loudly.
Surprisingly, Lin Tian did not look surprised or how. He only glanced at the girl before returning to continue eating.
During the entire day, from when they left the headquarters of the Lotus Flower Society until tonight, Lin Tian's gurgle seemed very strange and unnatural. He was too cold to Zhang Qiaofeng and made the girl ride black.
How not, every time the girl asked, Lin Tian only answered as necessary. When the girl said to start a conversation, Lin Tian only answered one or two words that seemed to hint at the girl to stop talking to him. And worst of all, when Zhang Qiaofeng offered food like fruits or herbs they found in the depths of the forest, Lin Tian simply shook his head, not answering anything!
Of course this made Zhang Qiaofeng, who already regarded Lin Tian as his younger brother feel exasperated at all. He seemed invisible and completely unappreciated.
Evidently when he snapped just now, Lin Tian was completely indifferent. Not even surprised.
This added to the anger and arrogance in Zhang Qiaofeng's heart. Looking at Lin Tian who had not glanced at him at all, he quickly got up to his feet and approached the young man with annoyed steps. Then in one go he had already managed to snatch Lin Tian's grilled chicken thigh and throw it away.
"W...!!" Lin Tian was surprised and looked up.
A second later, he swallowed his own saliva. May there stand his nona who looks at him savagely. Even worse, he's only conscious now.
"N-miss.ehh!!" he was startled when Zhang Qiaofeng suddenly pulled the black scarf away violently, making his neck slightly suffocate.
"What do you mean by all that attitude, huh!?? I noticed that since yesterday we were still at grandfather Kim's headquarters, your attitude has become even colder to me!! And now it's even worse, what do you mean huh!!??" the girl snaps. His reddish eyes were glaring wide, signifying that his anger was really at the top right now.
Hearing Zhang Qiaofeng's question, instantly Lin Tian's face became gloomy again. He did not dare to look directly at the girl's face, only able to bow his face.
"Java!!!" Zhang Qiaofeng was getting angry.
With a weak and desperate tone, Lin Tian replied, "I have betrayed you."
