Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 787 - 759 Old Acquaintance

Unable to uncover any news about the Spirit Earth Flower, Lin Tian felt quite helpless.

But thinking about it, it made sense. These people were the most ordinary of the ordinary. Even if they had seen the Spirit Earth Flower, they wouldn’t recognize it.

Moreover, the Spirit Earth Flower must grow in the heart of the tropical rainforest, and these people would never dare to venture deep into it. How could they possibly know the whereabouts of the Spirit Earth Flower?

Since he could not find out anything, Lin Tian simply found a corner to rest for a bit.

No sooner had he closed his eyes than he heard a voice speaking awkwardly in Malay.

"Free tea here, free lunch here, first come first pick, first come first served...!"

These few sentences, rising up in the quiet cabin, instantly sparked a wave of excitement among the people.

Free tea, free lunch!

"Give me a cup of tea!"

"Give me a box of lunch."

"Quick, grab it fast, or there’ll be none left!"

..., ...

A crowd surged forward, vying for the tea and lunch.

These people were the lowest stratum of Malaysians, barely educated, so generally their manners were somewhat lacking; they would seize any opportunity for a bargain, believing that anything free was the best.

Like starving wolves, they threw themselves at the food and tea, which weren’t really worth much.

Lin Tian watched, feeling quite helpless. He had already eaten his fill and had no interest in food or drink, so he closed his eyes and rested without moving.

After a chaotic bout of snatching, everyone was happy and smiling, with some people having grabbed not just one box of meal but two, three, or even five.

"What’s happening today? Could the captain be feeling charitable?"

"Yeah, and there’s free tea and food, a treat not even available in the second-level VIP lounge, I hear. You only get this kind of service on a plane."

"Hey, who cares, as long as we have food and drink, isn’t that why we came all this way?"

"Buddy, you grabbed five boxes of food, can you even eat it all?"

"Hahahaha...!"

The most cheerful person who had just been conversing with Lin Tian returned to sit by his side. He was an extrovert, speaking in a loud and hearty manner, but he had a kind heart. And he was quite good at grabbing stuff.

Clutching two cups of tea and five boxes of food, and seeing that Lin Tian’s hands were empty, he asked, "Buddy, why didn’t you grab something?"

Lin Tian laughed, "Oh, I had already eaten before getting on the ship, I’m not hungry, nor thirsty."

The man was baffled and said, "Hey, buddy, what are you thinking? This is free, it’s a waste not to eat; if it’s free, who wouldn’t eat it?"

His eyes flicked around and then he took out a cup of tea and a box of lunch, saying, "Brother, this is for you. I grabbed so much I can’t finish it all. It’ll spoil if it sits too long, so have some."

"This...!"

Facing such warm-heartedness, Lin Tian found it difficult to refuse and simply accepted the box of food and tea.

The man eagerly opened his box of food, and a meaty aroma immediately wafted out.

"Wow, there’s meat, there is meat! The last time I had meat was months ago, I didn’t expect to have it again now."

Hearing his words, Lin Tian felt a touch of sadness.

In Huaxia, some people had already started to focus on wellness, not eating meat, keeping to a vegetarian diet, wild greens, carrots, cabbage, and so forth. In short, they ate whatever rabbits eat.

But these people hardly ate meat even a few times in a year. Thinking about this, mighty Huaxia was indeed impressive!

However, unintentionally, Lin Tian suddenly smelled something, a scent that seemed poisonous.

He felt alarmed and quickly used Subdue the Heavens to investigate and indeed saw a blue-purple gas wafting from the food, a gas that was truly poisonous.

The man next to him, elated, was about to put a piece of meat into his mouth.

"Hold on."

Lin Tian shouted, and with a slap, he knocked the meat off the man’s chopsticks.

The man was furious. He hadn’t tasted meat for several months, and now that he’d finally gotten a piece, Lin Tian had sent it flying.

"Kid, what are you doing? I gave you a piece of meat, and you repay kindness with ingratitude!"

He roared loudly, looking as if he was about to fight Lin Tian.

Without further explanation, Lin Tian shouted, "Everyone, don’t eat, there’s poison in the food."

What?

Poison?

The crowd could hardly believe it, all staring at Lin Tian in shock.

Lin Tian casually grabbed a food box and stabbed into it with a silver needle. When he pulled it out, the needle was black.

This was an ancient Huaxia method of detecting poison, and clearly, it was also recognized in Malaysia.

"Damn it, it really is poisoned!"

"Poisoned, who would poison us? We’re innocent people. Why would someone want to poison us?"

"I’ve already taken a bite of the food. Does that mean I’ve been poisoned?"

"Me too, I’ve had a bite as well. I’m poisoned!"

Dozens of people exclaimed in surprise, hurriedly dropping their food boxes, frightened and sweating profusely.

Suddenly, they felt weak all over, falling to the ground one by one, unable to move.

After a brief examination, Lin Tian let out a sigh of relief. The poison they had ingested was similar to a sedative. For a short time, they would not be able to move, but it was not life-threatening. The effects would fade after a while, and they would be able to move again.

It seemed that Lin Tian had saved himself. The man who had stared at Lin Tian earlier now looked at him with eyes full of gratitude.

At that moment, a familiar gaze shot towards Lin Tian once again. It was the same one he had felt in the restaurant.

Following the direction of the gaze, Lin Tian saw a one-armed man in black with his face covered.

The one who had drugged the food must be him.

But who was he? It seemed he was here specifically for Lin Tian, yet in Malaysia, Lin Tian didn’t seem to recognize anyone.

"Lin Tian, long time no see!"

The masked man said in the Huaxia language.

Speaking Huaxia, he must be from Huaxia.

He had followed Lin Tian all the way to Malaysia, with Lin Tian as his target.

Lin Tian thought in surprise, the grudge must be huge for him to chase him from Huaxia all the way here.

"Who are you?"

Lin Tian asked.

The Godslayer Sword and Subduing Dragon Zither were ready to strike at any moment.

The masked man’s aura suddenly turned fierce, exuding an uncompromising, wrathful determination to kill.

"We are old acquaintances. In the beginning, my naive self hoped you would become my disciple and serve me. But you, you looked down on me and even wanted to kill me."

An old acquaintance?

Become his disciple?

Who is this?

Lin Tian tried hard to remember.

Then, the masked man pointed to his severed arm and said, "Lin Tian, I lost this arm because of you. Now, can you guess who I am?"

One-armed?

Is it him?

It’s actually him, he dares to come after me, and he has tracked me all the way to Malaysia!
