CH 536

The third apostle did well and almost persuaded Lin Tian!

Think about it, he worked so hard every day to improve and surpass his sister, even if he couldn’t compare to her, he hoped to at least close the distance, but now…

Now, everything was over.

He suddenly realized he was useless, that it didn’t matter no matter how hard he worked, and without his sister, he wouldn’t even be where he was currently at…

His hopes, dreams, future… everything was instantly shattered. He was filled with despair that stifled his breath.

“Come with me! What are you still hesitating for? Do you want to keep living under your sister and be useless?”

As long as he could bring Lin Tian back, then his grand plan would come to fruition! At that time, all of Gotham Kingdom would be reduced to a sea of hellfire and even Lin Xiao wouldn’t be his opponent!

“I, I…”

As Lin Tian was hesitating and almost about to agree, they heard a familiar voice!

“Yao Zi, Lin Tian! … Where are you?”

“Eh? Lin Xiao? … Lin Xiao! We’re over here!”

Yao Zi who was focused on fighting the walking dead snapped out of it when she heard Lin Xiao’s voice and waved toward the top of the mountain.

With them shouting, it not only startled the third apostle, it also snapped Lin Tian awake!

“N-no… what is he planning? Even if I go with you, w-what are you planning to do to me!?”

Lin Tian finally snapped out of it and retreated, “Bastard, you’re not trying to do something strange to me, right?”

“No! Of course not! I swear!”

He didn’t lie, using someone with the magic vessel as a live sacrifice wasn’t strange, it was completely reasonable!

“Really? … That’s great! Then if you’re not really planning anything, then wait until brother Xiao gets here and you can tell him yourself!”

“Hah? W-what? … You want me to talk with Lin Xiao?”

“That’s right! … Tell him about what you think, and if he agrees, I’ll go with you!”

“O-okay… I’ll go talk to him… I… I’ll go talk with him my ass!”

He didn’t know whether this damn brat was doing it on purpose, but please, he was fleeing for his life, how would he talk with Lin Xiao?

Lin Xiao, hi, I’m the bad guy who drove your lover crazy earlier, I hope to use Lin Tian as a live sacrifice to complete the enlightened society’s grand plans, please tell me what you think about it.

Peh! Even if he politely asked him like that, he would just ignore him and kill him, right?

“Tsk… damn Lin Xiao, getting in my way again!”

Just as he was about to succeed that damn brat came again and messed up his plans, he was so angry he almost fell off the black mist.

“That doesn’t make sense! His lover was already infected and was hacking away at him, how… how did he catch up so quickly?”

The third apostle never imagined that Lin Xiao would be able to wake ShenDai Ying up even without any medicine and catch up so quickly. But now wasn’t the time to question it, it seems like there was someone with a sharp sense of perception in his team so he had to escape before being noticed, otherwise, it would be too late!

“Lin Xiao, we’ll settle this some other day…”

The third apostle cursed at Lin Xiao and prepared to leave.

“Xiao Tian, I really didn’t lie to you… I just wanted to give you a chance to change your fate!”

As he floated away, his low voice echoed around Lin Tian.

“Do you want to be useless forever? Xiao Tian, only I can give you rebirth! Give you power! Let you become a true hero!”

“Bastard, stop lying! I won’t fall for it!”

“Hehe, it’s fine, you’ll understand one day… the choice is in your hands… Xiao Tian, I’ll be back for you…”

“Ugly! Disgusting masked man! … D-don’t come back!”

Lin Tian shouted up into the sky and his voice startled Yao Zi and Lin Xiao who all came rushing over.

“Xiao Tian, what’s wrong?”

“N-nothing… there were just some living dead trying to ambush us.”

Xiao Tian forced a smile when he saw them.

“Is that so?” Lin Xiao felt something off and continued asking, “Xiao Tian, did you see the third apostle? … Oh, he’s a strange dirtied person wearing a mask and sitting on a black cloud.”

“I! …. No, I-I never saw him, who is that? I don’t know.”

Just as he was about to confirm it, Lin Tian realized something and changed his mind and denied knowing anything. Everyone was confused, but after making sure he wasn’t injured, they just chalked it up to him being startled and didn’t question him anymore.

On the way back, Xiao Tian finally learned of the third apostle’s wicked deeds and was glad he didn’t fall for his lies.

But… what should he do next?

His road as a magician was already dead, what other road could he go down?

Xiao Tian carried the temporary stretcher made from branches and vines along with Lin Xiao as they walked carrying ShenDai Ying who was deep asleep.

They didn’t speak as they walked but Lin Xiao felt that Xiao Tian was walking slower and slower so he turned to take a look and noticed that he seemed like he was troubled by something.

“Hey Xiao Tian, what are you thinking about?”

“Ah! Brother Xiao… I-I’m not thinking about anything.”

“It’s fine, you can tell me anything… did something happen?”

“N-no! Nothing!”

“Oh okay…”

Lin Xiao nodded and let it go.

They were silent for a while longer before Xiao Tian couldn’t hold it in anymore.

“Hey, brother Xiao…”

“Heh, I was just saying you had something you wanted to say… Tell me, did you get in trouble?”

“I-I have something I don’t understand.”

“What?”

“What should I do if I was useless?”

“Hm?”

After hearing that strange question, Lin Xiao looked back and saw his serious expression, and realized something. He definitely met the third apostle earlier and he told him something strange and that’s why he was acting like that. But what could he have said that shook Xiao Tian so much?

Lin Xiao didn’t know and he wasn’t going to ask, just like the third apostle said, the choice for his life was in his own hands…

“Xiao Tian, I don’t know what you should do… but if I became useless, I would… I would get married to a rich woman!”

“… Hah?”

Xiao Tian thought that he would give him valuable life experience but didn’t expect a joke.

“S-stop joking, if you became useless, you wouldn’t be happy even if you married into a wealthy merchant’s family!”

“Nonsense! You’re only not happy because you don’t have enough money… If I could marry sister Ying into the ShenDai family, I wouldn’t mind being useless!”

“Stop teasing me…”

“Although I do like teasing you, but this time… I’m not joking.”

Lin Xiao stopped walking and looked back at Xiao Tian and spoke seriously.

“Life is a journey, where you should be going is easy, as long as you remember why you’re on the journey in the first place.”

Lin Xiao took a deep breath and exposed his shortcomings.

“I’ve only come this far with one goal and that’s to live a peaceful and easygoing life where I can laze around all day, if I can have a cute girlfriend on top of that, that would be even better. So even if I became useless, I would still work hard towards my goals, so marrying a rich woman would be my best choice.”

“It’s easy right? … So Xiao Tian, what about you?”
