Lin Xiao Tian was about to continue his questioning, but at this crucial moment, Luo Ping seemed to have gone mad.
Roar!
He let out that inhuman sound again.
Immediately after, Luo Ping descended into a frenzy, lunging at Lin Xiao Tian like a maddened beast.
Lin Xiao Tian shook his head, having expected that after all his hard work in hypnotizing, it would still end in failure.
He pinned Luo Ping down, immobilizing him, and then gave Yang Xin a meaningful look.
Yang Xin reacted swiftly and ran out of the room.
Before long, a large group of doctors and medical staff in white coats entered.
Lin Xiao Tian handed Luo Ping over to them and then left the room.
"Are you leaving already?" Yang Xin asked, seeing Lin Xiao Tian walk towards the exit of the psychiatric hospital, a look of confusion on her face. Lin Xiao Tian didn't seem like someone who would give up so easily.
Lin Xiao Tian nodded.
"Aren't you going to ask more questions? You've already gotten a lot of useful information," Yang Xin hinted.
If they could understand Kunlun Valley as much as possible, it would be a great benefit to her Yang family, as it was a forbidden area directly under their control.
But Lin Xiao Tian still shook his head. "The hypnosis just failed. To succeed next time, we'll probably have to wait a few months. Staying here would be a waste of time."
"Oh... that's a shame." Yang Xin was quite disappointed. However, she suddenly remembered, "There are two more people, they are also survivors. Maybe they can provide some useful information. Do you want to see them?"
"Let's go!" Lin Xiao Tian agreed without hesitation.
Soon, under Yang Xin's arrangement, Lin Xiao Tian visited the remaining two survivors sequentially.
With the second survivor, as soon as Lin Xiao Tian mentioned Kunlun Valley, the person started shouting hysterically. Lin Xiao Tian couldn't get any information.
With the third survivor, Lin Xiao Tian learned even less than from Luo Ping. He only knew that they got lost upon entering.
After questioning three people consecutively, he couldn't get any information about Kunlun Valley, only that there was no sense of direction inside and a stone tablet was hidden somewhere.
However, there was one point that Lin Xiao Tian found very strange. Based on the accounts of the three people, Kunlun Valley didn't seem very dangerous.
When the three were in Kunlun Valley, they didn't encounter any large animals. At their pace of progress, if they had been in Black Mountain, they would have at least encountered a White Viper. But in Kunlun Valley, their greatest dangers were poisonous insects and snakes.
Another point was that they were absolutely safe during the day, encountering danger only at night, and always on the third day. Two of them didn't know how they returned, while Luo Ping stated his captain brought him back. But what happened to his captain was completely unknown.
Lin Xiao Tian pondered. Following this pattern, if he could advance faster and finish within three days, he might not encounter any danger.
In fact, when he was in Black Mountain, Lin Xiao Tian never stayed overnight. Places like this were generally dangerous at night, and the key problem was direction.
If one lost their way, they would inevitably face danger inside.
But without going in himself, he would never know how to solve this problem. Lin Xiao Tian was confident in himself. He had an innate sense of direction. Even with his eyes closed, he could tell how far he had traveled and how many turns he had made. It was this talent that always allowed Lin Xiao Tian to safely ascend and descend Black Mountain.
Lin Xiao Tian was equally confident about going to Kunlun Valley this time.
"Yang Xin, have you spoken to your family? When will I be allowed to enter Kunlun Valley?" Lin Xiao Tian asked.
"Soon. I reported it a long time ago. We should get news soon," Yang Xin replied.
The next moment, her phone rang.
"Excuse me, I need to take a call."
Yang Xin hurried to the side, clearly this call was important.
A while later, Yang Xin returned, her face ashen.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xiao Tian was taken aback.
"My family has agreed to let you go, but you have to go with the people our Yang family is sending."
"Oh, oh... that's good news!" Lin Xiao Tian looked at her.
Yang Xin's expression grew even gloomier. "I have to go along too."
"You?" Lin Xiao Tian recalled his previous experience in Black Mountain.
With Yang Xin's psychological state, wouldn't going to Kunlun Valley be a hindrance?
Moreover, he knew nothing about Kunlun Valley, and he would have to take care of her. How could he go and come back quickly then?
"Don't mention it, I don't even know what to do." Yang Xin was dejected. "What's with that look? Are you looking down on me?"
"No... I was just thinking... for your safety, it's better if you don't go. Kunlun Valley is so dangerous, I can't guarantee there won't be anything more formidable than a White Viper."
Hearing the words "White Viper," Yang Xin's face paled further.
"I... I don't want to either! But it's the family's decision, I can't do anything about it. How about... how about you don't go?" Yang Xin was too nervous.
But soon, she realized she had said the wrong thing. "No, no... you still have to go. I was talking nonsense just now."
Looking at Yang Xin's behavior, Lin Xiao Tian felt even more helpless.
If she was like this, she would definitely be a burden in Kunlun Valley.
"Then just follow the team. Kunlun Valley seems to have no danger during the day. Strengthen your defenses at night, and there shouldn't be any problems."
...
After bidding farewell to Yang Xin, Lin Xiao Tian returned to the Lin family.
Lin Xiao Tian informed Qin Yu Xiang about his plan to go to Kunlun Valley.
Qin Yu Xiang worried if there would be any danger there. Lin Xiao Tian told her truthfully. Upon hearing this, Qin Yu Xiang immediately objected.
But Lin Xiao Tian had a mature set of methods to persuade Qin Yu Xiang. He reasoned with her, appealed to her emotions, and if all else failed, he would use 'sleep persuasion'!
Qin Yu Xiang couldn't resist Lin Xiao Tian's persistent pleas and finally agreed, but made him promise not to get into trouble.
After pacifying Qin Yu Xiang, Lin Xiao Tian contacted the Yang family again, preparing to set off the next day.
The next day, Lin Xiao Tian packed only a few essentials and prepared to leave the Lin family.
Qin Yu Xiang was not at the Lin family that day due to matters concerning the Qin family, so Lin Xiao Tian left alone.
Just as Lin Xiao Tian stepped out of the house, Xiao Ming suddenly stopped him.
"Xiao Tian, the old madam wants to see you."
"She wants to see me this early? Did something happen?"
"You'd better go and see for yourself!" Xiao Ming didn't reveal much, but from his eyes, it was clearly not good news.
When Lin Xiao Tian met the old madam, her expression was clearly displeased.
"Where are you going?" the old madam demanded.
"I'm going out for a bit," Lin Xiao Tian lied.
"You're still hiding it from me? Do you think I don't know?" the old madam stared at Lin Xiao Tian. "Are you taking my words lightly?"
"Old madam, I'm going for a very important elixir, an elixir that prolongs life. I must go to Kunlun Valley." Lin Xiao Tian intentionally lied.
He thought that the old madam might let him go if she heard this.
But he was completely mistaken.
Not only did the old madam not appreciate his excuse, but she became even angrier.
"No! I forbid you to go!"
"But I've already promised the Yang family..."
"I'll speak to the Yang family! As for you, stay here in the Lin family!"
