Chapter 102: Wang Jian Was Dumbfounded, His Junior Who Beat Him Up Became His Cousin's Husband?
Escaping the lightning awakening venue, Lin Tianming looked back at the entrance.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Tianming sighed and left.
Reflecting on eavesdropping on Jiang Han's inner voice today and learning more details about her death in the previous life, Lin Tianming felt somewhat dazed.
"Was I really that evil?"
"No, no, no! It was that scumbag, not me! It has nothing to do with me!"
Through this detailed recollection of Jiang Han's inner voice, Lin Tianming realized that the original owner's image was that of a complete villain.
Recently, his progress in winning over Teacher Jiang Han had been quite good. As long as he continued to work hard, he could make her completely believe in the sincerity of this transmigrator.
Who would have thought that the ability of the Divine Hand to plunder God-level magical power crystals would trigger Jiang Han's memories of being betrayed and killed in her previous life, causing her to lose control of her emotions in front of him for the first time?
Even during their first encounter, Jiang Han hadn't lost her temper like this.
Thinking about how his efforts over such a long time had instantly reverted back to square one... no, even worse than square one!
With this in mind, Lin Tianming really wanted to pull out the soul of the original owner and give it a good beating.
Damn you, original owner! Look at the mess you've left me!
Cursing the original owner in his heart, Lin Tianming stopped thinking about that naturally villainous original owner and instead pondered his Divine Hand's plundering ability.
From Jiang Han's reaction just now and her detailed memories of how the original owner killed her, it could be seen that the Thunder Heart within her was similar to the Fire Spirit Orb of the Ghost-Faced Fire Spider, which could be plundered by his Divine Hand.
If that were the case, the Thunder Heart within Teacher Jiang Han should also be replicable by his Divine Hand.
If so, the original owner in the previous life could have simply replicated a Thunder Heart.
This way, one for him, one for Teacher Jiang Han — wouldn't that be a win-win situation? Why kill Jiang Han?
Apart from this question, Lin Tianming had another question.
Why didn't Teacher Jiang Han's Thunder Heart disappear after she absorbed it?
When he absorbed the Fire Spirit Power from the Fire Spirit Orb, the Fire Spirit Orb completely disappeared.
Is there a difference between the Thunder Heart and the Fire Spirit Orb?
Troubled by these questions, Lin Tianming couldn't directly ask Jiang Han.
If he did seek her out for answers, it would be like admitting he discovered the Thunder Heart within her without her telling him.
She was already mentally disturbed due to the fear of him plundering her Thunder Heart.
Going to her now would be like offering his head on a platter.
Anyway, right now, he wouldn't find a chance to absorb the God-level magical power crystals unless he got lucky again. Otherwise, he couldn't possibly defeat a true God-level magical creature.
With this in mind, Lin Tianming decided to set aside these questions for now.
As he walked back to the boys' dormitory, Lin Tianming noticed two familiar figures in the distance that he preferred not to encounter.
These two were members of the Wang family, one of the four major awakened families in the Imperial Capital: Wang Yanran and Wang Jian.
"How unlucky... Running into them the night before the trip, and now again today!"
Although he had shared some hardships with Wang Yanran, Lin Tianming, who hadn't fully won over this senior sister yet, still felt it was best to avoid them.
Just as Lin Tianming was about to pretend not to see them and take a detour, Wang Jian's excited voice suddenly rang out.
"Cousin, look, it's that brat Lin Tianming! It was him who beat me up last time, causing me to run all the way with my clothes burned off, disgracing the Wang family. Now that we've run into him, you must stand up for me, cousin!"
Wang Yanran hadn't noticed Lin Tianming at first. Upon hearing Wang Jian's words, she looked forward and saw Lin Tianming indeed in the distance. In the next moment, she swiftly blocked Lin Tianming's path.
Wang Jian also followed, and with his cousin Wang Yanran present, he started to gloat.
"Trying to run away when you see us? Looks like you know how strong my cousin Wang Yanran is. Today, you're finished, Lin Tianming!"
Wang Yanran, on the other hand, showed Lin Tianming a warm smile. "Junior Tianming, it's been three days. How have you been?"
Wang Jian was waiting for his cousin Wang Yanran to beat up Lin Tianming to avenge him, but the scene before him left him baffled.
His cousin, who was always annoyed by his presence, thought he talked too much, and often scolded him for causing trouble, was now smiling at Lin Tianming?
Wang Jian thought he must be seeing things. He rubbed his eyes and looked again.
When he saw Wang Yanran still smiling warmly at Lin Tianming, Wang Jian felt his beliefs crumble.
Lin Tianming ignored Wang Jian and politely responded to Wang Yanran, "Sister Yanran, I've been alright these past three days. How about you?"
"I've been quite well too. Did you just come back from outside?"
"Yes, Teacher Jiang Han gave me three days off, so I went out to relax."
Watching Wang Yanran and Lin Tianming chat happily and completely ignoring him, Wang Jian rubbed his temples, feeling the need to take a moment to process this.
Upon learning that Lin Tianming had been on a trip for three days, Wang Yanran smiled warmly, "Junior Tianming, it's been a while since we had a proper chat. Do you have some time now?"
"Yes."
Hearing Lin Tianming say yes, Wang Yanran then turned to Wang Jian, "Cousin Wang Jian, I remember you said your conflicts with Junior Tianming were just minor scuffles, and you also said not to bother me about him. How about today, for my sake, you two make up completely?"
Wang Jian, having been ignored for quite a while and then asked to reconcile with Lin Tianming, felt conflicted.
But he did say a few days ago that if she felt troubled, he wouldn't bother her to seek revenge on Lin Tianming for minor scuffles.
However, that was only because she seemed troubled...
Despite being puzzled about how Lin Tianming knew his cousin Wang Yanran so well, Wang Jian eventually agreed, seeing their good relationship.
"Alright, cousin, Junior Lin Tianming and I were just having a normal spar. Today, for your sake, I won't hold a grudge about my clothes being burned!"
Lin Tianming was somewhat surprised that Wang Jian chose to reconcile.
But since Wang Jian had said so, and with Wang Yanran as a mediator, Lin Tianming, not being petty, decided to reconcile.
"Senior Wang Jian, sorry if I was too heavy-handed during our spar. Please don't hold it against me."
Seeing the successful reconciliation between Lin Tianming and Wang Jian, Wang Yanran smiled with satisfaction.
"Now that we are all family, you two will have plenty of opportunities to get along. No more conflicts, alright? Cousin Wang Jian, Junior Tianming and I have some matters to discuss privately, so we'll be off now!"
After saying this, Wang Yanran pulled Lin Tianming away swiftly in front of Wang Jian.
Watching the figures of Wang Yanran and Lin Tianming move away, Wang Jian felt even more dizzy.
This junior who had once beaten him up, could he one day become his cousin's husband?
