Chapter 118
"Ouch! It hit my head!" Suddenly, a yellow orange smashed right onto Bu Mengting's head. Bu Mengting let out a yell and then quickly reached up and grabbed the orange that had fallen on her.
"Hahaha!" Lin Tian chuckled and shook the orange tree even harder.
Whoosh!
One after another, the oranges fell like rain.
The people below reached up to catch the falling oranges. This astonishing scene attracted many people from the outside, who ran over to see.
Yan Yan caught an orange that descended from the sky, and the orange in her hand felt a bit cold and very soft, and its color was smooth and shiny. The orange looked very appealing.
Curiously, Yan Yan peeled the orange and took a bite. It was deliciously sweet and juicy!
So sweet!
The most important thing was that it was really an orange!
"It's real! The orange is real! And it's so sweet!" It wasn't just Yan Yan who tasted the orange; others who got hold of oranges also started eating and began exclaiming in admiration as soon as they did.
Truly!

The oranges were real.
The two blond individuals had already been stunned by this scene, and they too picked up an orange from the ground out of curiosity and peeled it to have a taste.
They were instantly mesmerized.
Standing on the branch, just as Yan Yan started eating the orange, a synthetic electronic voice rang inside Lin Tian's head: "Mission: Helping Yan Yan perform the 'seed to large tree' magic has been completed. Reward: two Supernatural Points!"
The mission was finally complete!
Upon hearing this voice, Lin Tian felt a surge of joy in his heart.
Then, seeing more and more people gathering around, some of whom had already started taking pictures with their phones, he knew that he had to end the scene, or else he would definitely make headlines tomorrow.
With this in mind, Lin Tian jumped down from the tree in an instant.
Standing on the ground and looking at the large tree in front of him, Lin Tian waved his hand dramatically, "Change!"
Whoosh!
With Lin Tian's command, the tall orange tree began to wither in an instant and then quickly turned into sawdust.
In the end, not a trace was left behind. Even the many oranges on the ground had vanished without a trace.
After waiting a moment, the oranges in everyone's hands also disappeared.
If not for the sweet aftertaste still lingering in their mouths, many would have doubted whether everything that had just happened was real.
"How come they're gone?"
"Yeah, how come they're gone?"
"Where did they go?"
The sudden turn of events once again stunned everyone.
After a moment of bewilderment, everyone looked towards Lin Tian.
Seeing everyone's gaze, Lin Tian smiled slightly, "You didn't really think I could turn into a large tree, did you?"
"But just now..." someone hesitated.
"Yeah, what happened just now? Look, I still have half an orange in my mouth!" Another person said, opening their mouth wide to show the half-eaten orange.
"You understand!" Lin Tian smiled subtly and didn't offer an explanation. Of course, all of this was done with the Time Powder. Now that the mission was complete, Lin Tian certainly needed to wipe his slate clean.
If the orange tree were to remain here, he would really become famous, perhaps even world-renowned.
Lin Tian had too many secrets, and drawing too much attention was not his intention.
And now, he had reduced the danger to the minimum.
Glancing over the crowd, Lin Tian looked towards Yan Yan, who was still a bit dazed, walked over to her, and said, "I'm leaving."
Yan Yan, caught off guard for a moment, hurriedly replied, "I'll go with you."
As she spoke, Yan Yan quickly gathered her things and followed Lin Tian. The blond individual, still in a daze, didn't stop her.
As Lin Tian left, he left behind a crowd full of astonishment.
Although many people wanted to detain Lin Tian, wishing he would perform more magic, there were also many who asked him various questions.
But Lin Tian didn't bother with it. At this time, the best approach was to keep a low profile and treat the situation coolly. So, as soon as the performance was over, Lin Tian hurriedly left with Bu Mengting, who was still somewhat shocked.
"Hey, wait for me!" Lin Tian said as he quickly walked away with Bu Mengting. Behind them, they could hear Yan Yan shouting loudly.
Lin Tian didn't stop his pace. After walking a certain distance and feeling that no one was paying attention to him anymore, he finally stopped.
The moment Lin Tian came to a stop, Yan Yan, panting and carrying something, ran up to them. "Hey, you, why didn't you wait for me?" she asked.
"What's up?" Lin Tian glanced at her and asked with feigned curiosity.
Lin Tian was naturally interested in a beauty, but with Bu Mengting beside him, he had to avoid showing it too obviously.
"How, how did you do that just now?" Yan Yan asked eagerly, still gasping for breath as she looked at Lin Tian curiously.
"I did this, then that, and it was done!" Lin Tian said with a slight smile.
"Uh..." Yan Yan was speechless, she paused for a moment before responding helplessly, "What do you mean 'this and that' exactly?"
"Just this and that!" Lin Tian said, pretending to be innocent, but he couldn't hide the mirth in his eyes.
"You... you're being mean!" Yan Yan pouted, clearly annoyed.
"Uh..." Just as Lin Tian was about to say something, he suddenly felt his phone vibrate in his pocket.
Lin Tian took out his phone and saw that it was from his mom.
Lin Tian answered the call, "Hello, Mom?"
"Lin Tian? Where are you right now, someone is looking for you at home!"
"Who is it?" Lin Tian asked, puzzled. Who would be looking for him at this time?
"It seems to be a girl named Wang Lan!"
"Wang Lan?" Upon hearing this name, Lin Tian was startled. Wang Lan should be the girl he helped to find her nephew.
But how did she know my address? And she even came to find me?
He was doubtful, yet Lin Tian didn't say anything, just mentioned that he would be back home soon.
After hanging up, Lin Tian turned to Yan Yan and said, "I've got something to do now, let's chat another time." With that, Lin Tian hailed a taxi that had arrived just in time, and got in with Bu Mengting.
Watching the taxi speed off in a whoosh, Yan Yan stood frozen.
After a moment, she came to her senses and, feeling both embarrassed and angry, stamped her foot and muttered, "Jerk!"

In the taxi, Bu Mengting looked at Lin Tian curiously. "What happened?" She was curious why Lin Tian was in such a hurry to go back.
"Nothing, an old friend is looking for me. She probably has some urgent matter," Lin Tian said without going into detail, still wondering how Wang Lan could have found his home.
To avoid trouble, Lin Tian now used two SIM cards; one phone number was permanent, known only to his family and close friends. The other number he gave out to the people he met while completing tasks.
For example, the number he had given Wang Lan was the second one.
He often changed the second number because if he didn't, he'd be approached by people every day.
It was annoying, so he frequently changed the second number.
Lin Tian had already stopped using the number he had given to Wang Lan, which made him curious about how she had managed to find him.
Lost in these thoughts, the taxi raced towards Lin Tian's home.
Half an hour later, Lin Tian and Bu Mengting arrived at his house.
Upon entering the house, Lin Tian saw Wang Lan.
To Lin Tian's surprise, Wang Lan seemed much thinner than before and looked very pale. She had deep bags under her eyes, indicating a lack of sleep.
"Lin..." As soon as Wang Lan saw Lin Tian, a glimmer of joy flashed through her eyes, and she started to say something.
"Let's talk later," Lin Tian said, cutting her off with a wave of his hand. He then turned to his mother and said, "Mom, I'm stepping out for a bit, I'll be back later."
After giving Lin Tian a look, Shi Qing shook her head resignedly, "Come back early."
Ever since Lin Tian had become the top scorer in the college entrance examination, Shi Qing had started treating him like an adult and gave him much more freedom.
"Yeah, I will," Lin Tian replied, and then turned to Wang Lan, saying, "Let's go outside to talk."
The two of them left the room and sat down on a bench inside the residential complex. Bu Mengting, curious, followed them.
Sitting on the stone bench in the complex, Lin Tian looked up at Wang Lan and said, "So, what's wrong?"
"Lin, Master Lin, there are ghosts in my house!" Wang Lan said, sounding anxious.
"Ghosts?" Lin Tian was stunned upon hearing this.
