Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 141 A New Attempt

"I really didn't realize that your little snake, which looks weak, is quite good at escaping. I was just a step too late, and before I could catch up, you would have been gone."

Wu Anbang arrived behind Lin Manman at some point; he had been a little late that night because he was transferring Xiao Xiao's treatment chamber.

The girl flashed through his sight and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

In addition, he had other tasks and couldn't go too far, so he couldn't catch up with him and had to come back to continue his mission.

Lin Manman had previously thought that Wu Anbang and Fan Chengye were in cahoots, putting Nanjing in danger, and had cursed his entire family lineage more than once.

It turned out that she had not only wronged the other person, but that the other person had also gone to great lengths to save her.

Seeing me in person now, I can't help but feel a little guilty.

"Besides escaping, my Rainbow Jade is quite capable in other ways too..." Lin Manman turned her face away, not daring to look him in the eye, and forced a dry laugh to defend her spirit pet.

Wu Anbang raised an eyebrow and leaned back without any regard for his image. "Luckily, I heard that Elder Meng gave you a way to save your life, otherwise your senior brothers would have cut me into eight pieces to feed the spirit beasts."

He finally understood that among all the people in this sect, this girl was probably the one he absolutely couldn't afford to offend.

Even though Meng Wenbin had given this girl a backup plan that would save her life, he still went to find someone immediately after the battle, which shows how much he valued this little disciple who hadn't even been formally accepted into his sect yet.

This made him even more curious about what special abilities this girl possessed that made Elder Meng value her so much.

Lin Manman was already feeling guilty towards him, and now he was staring at her so intensely that she felt a chill run down her spine, so she simply lay down on the table and pretended to be dead.

At this time, the alliance leaders and official forces in Nanjing who participated in this operation were led by Meng Wenbin.

This environment made Lin Manman feel as if she had returned to her past life to give a work report, and she began to doze off as she listened.

Then she actually fell asleep.

When she woke up again, she was already in a hotel room.

She had been under immense mental stress during this period, and then faced a series of dangerous situations, keeping her in a state of constant tension. This sleep was a welcome respite.

"Miss, are you awake?" Xia Ming knocked on her door not long after she woke up.

Lin Manman opened the door for him, and he handed her a box.

"This is the replacement wristband for you. It has already completed identity verification. You will need to retrieve the rest of your information yourself."

"Also, Elder Meng is here to handle the appointment and dismissal of Alliance personnel for some time, so I'll let you go back first. Firstly, if it drags on, I'm afraid Madam Lin will become suspicious, and secondly, it's a good time for you to go back and prepare for the capital."

Lin Manman took the bracelet and put it on; sure enough, her identity information was already linked.

She just needs to manually re-bind some accounts herself.

Hearing Xia Ming mention going to the capital, she finally felt a real sense of leaving her homeland.

Since arriving in this strange world, fifteen years have passed in the blink of an eye, from birth to adulthood.

It's impossible for her to say she has no feelings for Jinling, but she also understands that she will have more room for development and better resources in the capital.

"Okay, I understand." Lin Manman nodded in agreement, as she had something urgent to verify upon returning...

Xia Ming had already arranged her itinerary. After a short rest in the morning, she prepared to return to Lingshui District in the afternoon.

It has to be said that after hooking up with a powerful patron, apart from the occasional life-threatening danger, everything else is beneficial.

For example, apart from studying and cultivating, Xia Ming took care of almost everything else, so she didn't have to worry about anything.

Even in the face of this unexpected event, Xia Ming and Meng Wenbin made perfect arrangements for her home.

With Lin Minsheng giving her the green light at school to cover for her, even if she disappears for a week or two, it won't affect her home or school.

On the way back, Lin Manman learned a lot of details from Xia Ming.

It must be said that although Fan Chengye was hateful, he was indeed very shrewd.

Aside from some details of the incident, surprisingly, Xia Ming also brought her news that the treasure hunters had been executed in the capital.

As for whether the treasure hunters had offended any important figures in the capital, Xia Ming said he hadn't found much information.

However, Lin Manman didn't care much about the details; all she needed to know was that the treasure hunter was dead.

She could still occasionally recall the taunting words the treasure hunter had said to her when he was captured.

Knowing of his death brought her a great deal of peace.

And then there's Ruyi the Treasure-Hunting Rat; Ruyi would surely be very happy to hear this news.

Speaking of Ruyi, it's currently unregistered. Once it arrives in the capital, we should register it as soon as possible.

I'm already afraid of people, and if I keep the kids cooped up like this, they'll become homebodies.

When the two returned to their new home in Lingshui District, Lin's mother was already waiting outside the door. When she saw Lin Manman return, her face lit up.

"You kid, you didn't even send a message before you went on an exchange program, you just had Mr. Xia relay the message. And then I couldn't contact you for more than a week. If your school teachers hadn't told me you went on an exchange program, I would have thought you'd been kidnapped."

Lin Manman chuckled dryly. Her mother's intuition was pretty accurate; they had indeed been kidnapped.

"The school I went to for the exchange program was a closed-off school deep in the mountains, with no internet access. I couldn't contact you even if I wanted to."

"In this day and age, is there anywhere without internet access? It's not like we're outside the city. Your school is really something, why didn't you notify us in advance about this kind of event? You didn't even have time to communicate with your family."

While helping her with her luggage, Lin's mother complained.

Xia Ming had prepared the luggage for her in advance to prevent her from giving herself away.

"The other school notified us at the last minute; our school hadn't received any prior notice. By the way, I've been away from home recently; is everything alright with your brother?"

Knowing that saying too much would only lead to more mistakes, Lin Manman quickly changed the subject.

Mentioning Lin Ruochen, Lin's mother sighed, "Still the same old Lin Ruochen..."

Lin Manman thought of the bottle of diluted life spring water in her spatial bracelet. When she and Chen Xuewei were captured by Fan Chengye, she was worried that her secret switch would be discovered.

However, Fan Chengye did not seem to notice, and it is unknown whether Chen Xuewei covered it up for her.

She couldn't think of any other explanation besides this possibility.

She put her arm around Lin's mother's shoulder and said, "As long as it doesn't get worse, it's a good thing. Maybe one day when you open your eyes, your brother will wake up."

The system's annotation for the bottle of "Diluted Fountain of Life" mentioned that it promotes evolution.

The brother's soul mutation can be considered a form of evolution, and this [diluted spring of life] might have some effect on the brother's current state.

So much time has passed since her brother Lin Ruochen was injured, and Lin's mother's hopes have long since been worn away by the passage of time.

She knew Lin Manman was just trying to comfort her, and to avoid worrying her daughter, she smiled slightly, "I hope so."

In just a few short months, she watched her daughter go from becoming a professional to working tirelessly for the family.

She couldn't offer her daughter much help or guidance, but at the very least, she couldn't become a burden to her.

QAQ I woke up to a world of difference. I scheduled the chapter to be released at 12:05, and suddenly I was locked in a blacklist. I spent ages changing the sensitive words, and now I have to wait for the reviewers to start work. Ugh, it's so tough.
