"I... I should go out?" Ning Wenbin was stunned for a mont, unable to react, then he saw Wu Xiuluo nodding. He was silent for a few seconds, but soon laughed: "Alright, you could have called in, I don’t want to stand outside and be watched by others."
Watching his figure walking away, Lin Tian suddenly felt a sense of desolation akin to a bleak wind. The lancholy of a man who falls for a woman who doesn’t love him back is destined to be sorrowful.
"Senior is sowhat cruel." Lin Tian couldn’t help but speak up for Ning Wenbin, and Xiao Manxuan nodded in agreent.
"The people you’ve rejected are probably more than , haven’t you felt cruel?" Wu Xiuluo simply said, her expression unchanging.
Lin Tian was taken aback, recalling those girls who had feelings for him. It seed he truly was quite cruel. He could only say, "Alright, you’re right."
Wu Xiuluo was clearly not interested in Ning Wenbin, so in both words and actions, she gave him no chance, no hesitation, no ambiguity, and no false hopes. This was the most responsible behavior.
Nowadays, many girls obviously don’t like soone, yet they comfortably accept n’s benefits, continue to dine on their treats, accept Apple’s phone, and never refuse branded clothes and bags.
Lin Tian couldn’t understand how such won could be at ease accepting gifts from n they don’t like. What kind of mindset is this?
"I indeed don’t like him, but I asked him to leave not because of this reason, but because there are things that ordinary people shouldn’t know." Wu Xiuluo continued, her words leaving Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan both curious.
From her words, Lin Tian gathered so implication that perhaps this Wu Xiuluo wasn’t an ordinary person. An Ancient Martial Artist? Demon Exorcist? Secret Master? Onmyoji? Immortal? Monster?
Of course, the latter two possibilities were purely wild guesses by Lin Tian. He had seen ghosts, which are just spiritual bodies, but gods and monsters were exaggerated notions, inexplicable.
Back when Yan Mo gave him a Ksitigarbha Order, Lin Tian still doubted its authenticity, as the Ksitigarbha Order, after all this ti, showed no reaction. So, the existence of the legendary Ksitigarbha was still questionable.
Seeing Lin Tian silent, Wu Xiuluo explained, "You possessing such a guqin clearly ans you’re not ordinary people. You should know this world is not as simple as you think."
"Alright, now I consider knowing you are not ordinary. An Ancient Martial Artist? Demon Exorcist?" Lin Tian asked directly. Since she was upfront, there was no need to beat around the bush.
"Who I am is not important. What’s important is this guqin." Wu Xiuluo shook her head without answering, instead looking at the guqin on the table.
Xiao Manxuan frowned and said, "Could Senior see the origin of the guqin?"
"I don’t know." Wu Xiuluo answered straightforwardly, leaving Lin Tian with a black face. He thought, she had been speaking so assuredly just now and suddenly gives a "don’t know". Was she teasing him?
Wu Xiuluo stroked the body of the guqin again and said softly, "You should calm down. I’m not sure of the guqin’s origin because it’s sealed. This seal blocks all detection."
"What? You could tell there’s a seal?" Lin Tian was surprised, genuinely surprised. His super-powerful vision couldn’t see it, yet Wu Xiuluo did. What does this an? Is Wu Xiuluo stronger?
"You could say so, but this seal is very formidable. It not only blocks detection but also blocks internal energy, so outsiders can’t see any clues. Perhaps it is waiting for a suitable owner." Wu Xiuluo said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Tian’s heart moved, then he said, "The guqin once exploded with energy, and it seems to have found a suitable owner."
Wu Xiuluo looked at Xiao Manxuan and suddenly reached out, as if to grab her. Lin Tian had never relaxed his guard against Wu Xiuluo, intercepting her imdiately, blocking Wu Xiuluo in front of the Second Miss.
Their hands clashed briefly but separated imdiately. Lin Tian sternly said, "What are you doing? Don’t force to take action."
"What speed!" Wu Xiuluo murmured softly and then noticed Lin Tian was angry. She hurriedly explained, "Don’t misunderstand, I an no harm to Xiao Manxuan. I just want to examine her constitution."
"I won’t let anyone harm Xuanxuan. Even if you have no ill intentions, whatever you intend to do, please explain it beforehand. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee I won’t hurt you." Lin Tian said coldly, not easing up because of her words.
Xiao Manxuan held Lin Tian’s arm, looking at him with gentle big eyes: "Lin Tian, don’t worry, I can feel that Senior Sister Xiuluo has no intention to hurt . You know, my intuition is always accurate."
Wu Xiuluo also looked at Lin Tian, waiting for his decision. Lin Tian said nothing, rely stepping aside to allow space, indicating she could check, but he remained by Xiao Manxuan’s side to prevent unexpected incidents.
Lin Tian wasn’t naive enough to trust her completely just because she was beautiful, acting forgetful of himself at the sight of a beauty, which would be foolish behavior.
Wu Xiuluo reached out again, holding Xiao Manxuan’s wrist before closing her eyes again. Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan were both quite puzzled about how the first school beauty was conducting her examination.
Upon closing her eyes, a faint golden light appeared on Wu Xiuluo’s white, slender fingers. Fortunately, it wasn’t their first ti seeing the glow during Ancient Martial Artists’ cultivation, so they stayed relatively calm.
However, seconds later, a slight tremor occurred in a position within Lin Tian’s body, seemingly responding to the golden light. This situation intrigued Lin Tian. His eyes narrowed as his super vision swept over that corner, discovering the shrunken Ksitigarbha Order there.
Ever since obtaining the Ksitigarbha Order from Yan Mo, it had been hidden within him, almost forgotten. Unexpectedly, today the Ksitigarbha Order reacted to Wu Xiuluo’s Golden Light Energy!
What was going on? Is Wu Xiuluo the reincarnation of King Ksitigarbha? A shocking thought popped into Lin Tian’s mind, but he imdiately extinguished it.
Wu Xiuluo was indisputably a woman, so how could she be the reincarnation of King Ksitigarbha? However, for great beings, gender and form are rely superficial attributes. Thus, it wasn’t impossible to speculate she might be Ksitigarbha reincarnated.
In the end, Lin Tian confused himself. He scratched his brow, feeling rather vexed, thinking that Yan Mo should have given a portrait of King Ksitigarbha back then. Now, knowing nothing, the situation felt very passive.
The situation was a bit chaotic, and Lin Tian couldn’t make sense of it all at once, so he simply stopped thinking and refocused his attention on the Golden Light Energy.
The Golden Light Energy was extrely pure and grand. In the language of the Ancient Martial World, this was energy cultivated through righteous techniques, indicating Wu Xiuluo was on the path of righteousness.
Unlike the energy released by Secret Master Yasuo, which was chaotic and filled with Yin Sha, not giving the impression of righteousness, what exactly was Wu Xiuluo’s background?
