The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

Chapter 1161: Chapter 1154: Lovers Separated by Time

Zhi Zhi stood on its tiny paws, perched on the edge of the road’s fence. One paw clutched the fence’s sharp top, while the other waved vigorously at Lin Tian.

Its adorable little face was suffused with an indescribable sadness, and its clear, shining eyes were filled with deep reluctance.

The reluctance was for Lin Tian!

The sadness was for the imminent parting from Lin Tian!

All things have a spirit, especially the highly spiritual Silver Fox clan.

After it had lost its way and been separated from its tribe, it constantly avoided humans and other potential dangers.

Previously, in the Ten Thousand Mountains, it had nearly been devoured by a Demon Soul.

Fortunately, Lin Tian saved it, making it deeply grateful ever since.

And because it didn’t know how to return home or find its kind, it stuck close to Lin Tian.

Now.

Finally sensing the presence of its kin and given the chance to return to its tribe, it was extremely eager.

Inside the car.

Lin Fengye stared wide-eyed at the little silver fox on the fence, its expression and movements so human-like, he was a bit stunned.

”Kid, where did you find such an intuitive silver fox?”

Lin Fengye turned to look at Lin Tian and exclaimed in surprise, continuing, ”With such a spiritual creature, don’t let it go! Keep it, or sell it, and you’ll make a fortune!”

Sell it and make a fortune?

Lin Tian’s face darkened, and he pursed his lips, ignoring his uncle. Instead, he opened the car door and stepped out.

”Zhi Zhi is going to leave, right?”

Walking forward, Lin Tian asked again, while his Divine Sense once more scanned the two white foxes sniffing the air constantly on the riverbank of Liu Fang River.

The two foxes seemed to be searching for the scent source from the little silver fox, Zhi Zhi.

”Zhi Zhi...”

The little silver fox, Zhi Zhi, seemed to realize it could go home, and its small eyes suddenly brightened. It nodded excitedly.

But soon, upon thinking about leaving, its little face dropped again.

Lin Tian reached out and ruffled Zhi Zhi’s little head, saying once more, ”Are you sure they bear no malice towards you? Or can they help you contact your tribe?”

”Zhi Zhi...”

Zhi Zhi nodded affirmatively.

”Then hurry home! We will meet again if fate allows!”

Lin Tian firmly ruffled the little creature’s head, then waved his hand, smilingly urging, ”Your parents must be worried sick, go on!”

”Zhi Zhi~”

However, Zhi Zhi was evidently reluctant to leave. It squealed and leaped back onto Lin Tian’s shoulder, rubbing its little head against his face again.

But the next moment, it darted like a flash into the bushes by the riverbank of Liu Fang River.

It seemed anxious not to linger any longer!

Lin Tian’s Divine Sense extended, witnessing Zhi Zhi reuniting with the two white foxes on the riverbank. The three little beings held each other’s paws, jumping and spinning excitedly in circles.

Soon after.

Zhi Zhi cast a deep look in Lin Tian’s direction, then followed the two white foxes along Liu Fang River, sprinting away to the west, disappearing into the night.

Hopefully, it will safely return home and reunite with its tribe.

Lin Tian watched the distant night, sighing lightly in his heart.

He looked up at the starry sky, feeling somewhat lost. After all, this Earth was not his home; his roots lay in the Nine Heavens Continent!

”This little fox, could it have become a spirit?”

Seeing Lin Tian standing there, Lin Fengye couldn’t help but shout, ”Looking at how you and it get along, you seemed to have a good relationship. Now that it’s gone, get in the car, let’s continue on our way! Your parents are waiting for you!”

Lin Tian withdrew his thoughts, nodded, and turned back to the car.

”Uncle, I applied to Yanjing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine but missed the registration deadline. Mom said you managed it?”

Once the car restarted, Lin Tian took out the acceptance letter from Yanjing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, checked the enrollment date again, and found it nearly two days late, he couldn’t help but say to Lin Fengye, ”If it doesn’t work out, tomorrow I’ll go directly to their dean!”

”You brat, your parents also told me, with such high scores, why did you choose the Medical College? Huaqing University, Yanjing University, those are top world-class universities! How could you be so foolish? Plus, Traditional Chinese Medicine isn’t popular anymore, why go to study this? I really don’t understand your reasoning!”

Up front, Lin Fengye rambled on as he drove, lamenting when Lin Tian mentioned university matters, ”Even if you want to study Traditional Chinese Medicine, you should choose a better one. Like Huaxia Chinese Medicine University, it’s the best Traditional Chinese Medicine University in the country! It’s said that Yanjing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine is just its sub-campus...”

Sub-campus?

Lin Tian was a bit surprised, but he didn’t mind and said with a smile, ”I think it’s pretty good!”

Entering Yanjing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Lin Tian’s purpose wasn’t to learn but to find someone—the girl he randomly encountered in Bin City who caused a headache and an anomaly in the Nine-Turned Chaotic Pearl within his mind.

”Well, since you’ve already decided! Yanjing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine is also a nationally renowned prestigious university, not bad at all!”

Lin Fengye grumbled for a bit, glanced back at Lin Tian, and continued, ”As for your enrollment, your uncle took care of it for you. Yesterday, I almost ran my legs off trying to contact your dean. You have no idea how difficult and stubborn she was, not yielding to any persuasion, only finally agreeing to let you complete the enrollment procedures, otherwise, you’d have been disqualified!”

”Thank you, Uncle!”

Lin Tian looked towards his uncle gratefully, nodding in appreciation.

”Heh heh...”

Lin Fengye turned back with a somewhat sly smile, saying, ”If you really want to thank your uncle, when you get familiar with the school or University City area, remember to introduce your uncle to some lovely schoolgirls!”

Lin Tian’s face darkened in speechlessness. This uncle, only about five or six years older than him, was even more unreputable than he imagined.

The car drove past the Liu Fang River Yanjing Bridge and finally entered the main district of Yanjing.

Soon after.

Lin Fengye drove into a high-end residential area located on the border of the suburbs and the city center, stopping in front of a two-story villa.

In front stood a high-end villa with a small garden.

Lin Tian followed Lin Fengye, who opened the door, and in the living room, his anxious waiting parents, Lin Zhenyu, Xiao Lin, and sister Lin Xiaoqing, stood up immediately.

”Brother... we’ve finally waited for you!”

Lin Xiaoqing, with red-rimmed eyes, ran over from the sofa and leaped into Lin Tian’s arms.

”Girl, you’re so grown-up now, don’t jump, let go first!”

Lin Tian could feel his sister’s deep concern and care, making his heart feel warm. He patted her back before letting go.

”Dad, Mom...”

Bringing Lin Xiaoqing and his uncle along, Lin Tian called out to his parents with some guilt.

”It’s good you’re back, have you eaten? If you have, sit down first!”

Lin Zhenyu, somewhat silent and not very talkative, pointed to the sofa and said to Lin Tian.

”You kid, you worried the whole family, even missed the university registration!”

His mother, Xiao Lin, cast a critical glance at Lin Tian, her words filled with reproach, but the concern on her face was undeniable, ”Have you eaten? If not, I’ll make something for you!”

”Mom, don’t bother, I’ve already eaten!”

Feeling the warmth of home, Lin Tian glanced around and sat down, then said, ”Where is Tang Ge?”

The few exchanged glances, then fell silent.

Lin Tian sensed the atmosphere was off, furrowing his brow, and recalling when he was outside, his mom hesitated when mentioning Xu Tangge on the call, he asked anxiously, ”Did something happen?”

”Brother, look at this first!”

At that moment, his sister Lin Xiaoqing handed Lin Tian a pink, delicate envelope, inscribed with the words ”For Lin Tian’s Eyes Only.”

Lin Tian immediately sensed something wrong, opened the envelope, and pulled out the letter inside, revealing a series of neat characters. At the top of the page—Lin Tian, I’m sorry! Perhaps, in the endless years to come, you might be the lover I can never reach! You are too far away from me, and I fear becoming a burden to you! Moreover, for the sake of my mother, I can only choose to leave temporarily...
