"Everyone, please listen to ..." Lin Tian shouted several tis before his classmates quieted down. Looking at these sincere and eager faces, Lin Tian could only helplessly tell a lie: "There’s no special forces, nor any special recruitnt. It’s just so personal matters. If you’re interested in special forces, you could ask Instructor Zhuang, okay?"
"No way..." A bunch of people laughed heartily, unwilling to let Lin Tian off the hook. Lin Tian felt helpless as well, thinking maybe the training wasn’t rigorous enough, otherwise, they’d not be so energetic.
"Ten minutes of break is over, train for another half an hour and then you can eat. Move, move!" Instructor Zhuang’s shout finally freed Lin Tian, and the classmates reluctantly dispersed to continue training.
The morning military training ended quickly. Lin Tian went to find Xiao Manxuan. The students from the dical school had already left, and Zhao Weitao was not hanging around as usual.
"Zhao Weitao is quite sensible, not pestering you anymore," Lin Tian said with a smile.
"After what happened this morning, where would he still have the nerve? Lin Tian, this morning was really satisfying, you’re amazing," Xiao Manxuan didn’t hold back her praise for Lin Tian.
Lin Tian shrugged, looking indifferent: "It was a piece of cake, I didn’t get any sense of achievent."
"Oh, right, I seed to have seen you go out this morning, was that Thunder Wolf? Why did he co to find you?" As they walked out of the field, Xiao Manxuan turned her face, looking at Lin Tian in confusion.
Lin Tian didn’t answer imdiately, but looked around, with people coming and going in the campus, occasionally passing by. He didn’t directly answer: "It was indeed Thunder Wolf, I’ll tell you the details later."
Seeing Lin Tian’s cautious reply, Xiao Manxuan didn’t pursue further. The two of them walked to the cafeteria, had lunch, and then went back to the dormitory.
As soon as they returned to the dormitory, Xiao Manxuan impatiently asked: "What’s going on? It seems like it has sothing to do with from the look in your eyes."
Lin Tian was slightly surprised, this little girl’s intuition was too strong, she even guessed right. Seeing Lin Tian’s expression, Xiao Manxuan laughed again: "Hehe, I guessed it right after all."
"How should I put it, it does have sothing to do with you, and with the ancient zither," Lin Tian thought for a mont, deciding to tell her everything that’s happened in the past few days: "Do you rember the other day when I climbed up to your window?"
Hearing Lin Tian ntion the window-climbing incident, the little girl’s face turned slightly red. She nodded, "I rember, and I also rember you hung a token outside my window, saying it was blessed by Sister Lingyu, to protect ."
"Uh, actually, that wasn’t a token, nor was it blessed," Lin Tian truthfully said, since it involved Xiao Manxuan, certain things should not be concealed from her.
Xiao Manxuan blinked, and said, "I knew it wasn’t blessed, and I know you did it just to reassure ."
After saying that, she found Lin Tian’s expression unchanged, feeling confused again. Lin Tian solemnly said: "That’s not what I ant. You’ll understand if you look."
With that, he took off the tal bracelet from his wrist and placed it in his palm. Xiao Manxuan watched the bracelet curiously, then her curiosity turned into amazent, and she covered her mouth to stop herself from yelling out.
Because the bracelet in Lin Tian’s hand, after a transformation, beca a token, exactly the one hanging outside her window.
After a while, she released her hand and exclaid in wonder: "Lin Tian, are you doing magic?"
"This isn’t magic, look more closely," Lin Tian let her continue observing, then with a thought, the tal token transford again, this ti back to its original form, the Heavenly Tribulation Sword.
The sudden appearance of a sword in his hand startled Xiao Manxuan a few steps back, but she quickly reacted and stared at the Heavenly Tribulation Sword for a long ti. The more she looked, the more amazed her expression beca: "I rember now, when you fought with Master Tang, you used this sword, didn’t you?"
"That’s right, it’s called the Heavenly Tribulation Sword, and because it was forged with tamorphic stone, it can transform into so simple shapes," Lin Tian confird.
"So cool, I thought Purple Lightning Blue Frost was already amazing, but I didn’t expect this to be even more incredible, truly cool," Xiao Manxuan gently caressed the blade, her eyes sparkling with amazent.
"Thank you, Second Miss, for your praise," a voice suddenly sounded in her ear, startling the little girl. She looked at Lin Tian, then at the Heavenly Tribulation Sword: "Was that the Heavenly Tribulation Sword talking just now?"
"Indeed, it was this king speaking," the sword spirit spoke again.
"Lin...Lin Tian, how can a sword talk?" Xiao Manxuan was uncertain and puzzled, the existence of the sword spirit was beyond her comprehension.
"To explain this, it’d take three days and nights, think of it as advanced AI, just like the Nuwa from the Xiao Group, except Nuwa doesn’t have a physical form, while it has an energy body," Lin Tian didn’t explain the origin of the sword spirit, as that was another story and too long, unrelated to today’s matter.
The little girl was smart, with this explanation, she quickly understood: "I get it, it’s the spiritual body of the sword, right? I rember my sister ntioned before, that in very special circumstances, such energy spirits can be born. I didn’t expect it to be true."
"Absolutely correct." Lin Tian felt that talking with the sister of an Ancient Martial Artist was indeed relaxing; at least her knowledge was much broader than ordinary people.
"These days, it’s been Little Ya guarding the window. Oh, by the way, Little Ya is the na of the sword spirit. And the reason Little Ya is guarding the window is because of your ancient zither," Lin Tian pointed to her boudoir, and said.
"Ancient zither?" Xiao Manxuan was puzzled, seemingly recalling sothing, then she said: "I rember, on the night of the welco party, my zither’s sound attracted birds, and when I played, I had a feeling of rging with it. Could it be that soone thinks the zither is magical and wants to steal it?"
It must be said, Xiao Manxuan’s comprehension was extrely high. With just a slight hint, she had already grasped the heart of the matter.
"You’ve guessed it again, but only half right. Because that person not only thinks so, but has also taken action. That person has been probing recently, always waiting for the best opportunity..." Lin Tian detailed everything that had happened in the past few days, including that the person was a Secret Master and the thods used.
Xiao Manxuan had seen Oda Manaka’s Gu technique and Xiao Manxuan’s Taoist technique, naturally understanding what a Secret Master was easily.
She suddenly fixed her eyes on Lin Tian, softly saying: "Lin Tian, thank you for always protecting ."
"You forgot, I’m still your bodyguard," Lin Tian said with a smile.
"But this ti, it’s not just taking action, I need you to join in too. Thunder Wolf and Ning Luoxi found and discussed a plan. You play the zither, attract the Secret Master to appear, and then capture him. It’s just..." Lin Tian paused a bit.
Xiao Manxuan curiously asked: "It’s just what? Worried about my safety?"
"No, it’s that you and I need to pretend to be a couple and spend the night outdoors..." Lin Tian tried to say it as seriously as possible.
