Chapter 1966: Chapter 1963: Senior Sister’s Invitation
"If only I could devour it, but even the purple flame can’t destroy it. It probably won’t be that easy to devour. However, if I devour the Qiong Gou Jade, the Xu Family will definitely hunt me down, hehe." Lin Tian chuckled lightly in his mind, sounding indifferent about being hunted down.
"What a pity." The Sword Spirit was quite regretful, thinking if the Ksitigarbha Order could be devoured, this guy wouldn’t let it go.
Lin Tian noticed that almost everything related to him had a devouring nature, similar to Taiyin Xuan Qi.
"Put it away. Do you want everyone in the whole school to know you can play with fire?" Xu Feibai glanced at the distant basketball court and said indifferently, as students were already walking in this direction after class.
"You give it to me? Aren’t you afraid I’ll pocket it?" Lin Tian caught the meaning in Xu Feibai’s words, which was to put it away. However, he was skeptical if the Xu Family was that generous.
"It’s only temporary until we find the Yin Jade, then I’ll take it back immediately." Xu Feibai promptly dashed Lin Tian’s hopes.
Lin Tian withdrew his hand, extinguished the purple flame, put away the Qiong Gou Jade, turned, walked a couple of steps, then stopped and said: "By the way, the night of the fifteenth of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar is a time for sacrifices. If you’re interested, you can join us."
"Of course, I’m joining. The Qiong Gou Jade is still in your hands." Xu Feibai said bluntly.
This wasn’t polite at all. Lin Tian raised a disdainful middle finger at him before leaving with satisfaction.
The sports exam went smoothly today, and Xu Feibai didn’t make things difficult for any student; everyone passed. Don’t be fooled by his perpetually stern face and indifferent demeanor; he’s actually quite adorable.
Perhaps, it’s just that living too long gradually eroded his human side, and only when he meets a "newbie zombie" like Lin Tian, does it make him recall long-buried things.
Lin Tian suddenly thought that if there really were gods in this world, they’d have lived for countless years, witnessed countless life and death, seen the rise and fall of everything, the universe’s cycles, and their human side would be worn to nothing.
However, does this mean gods are eternal and indestructible? Lin Tian didn’t know. He only cared about the people around him. If a god perished, it wasn’t his concern.
"Lin Tian, what are you thinking about?" A sweet female voice rang in his ears.
Lin Tian turned his head to see Xiao Manxuan’s charming face just inches away. He could even smell her orchid-like breath. The little girl blinked her big eyes, curiously and intently looking at him, seemingly wondering what this rascal was thinking about when zoning out.
"Haha, did you not pass the sports exam? Did Xu Feibai make things difficult for you? I’ll help you complain to him." The little girl suddenly furrowed her pretty eyebrows, speculating on her own, feeling indignant for Lin Tian.
Lin Tian gently tapped her prominent nose and laughed, "Who do you think I am? He wouldn’t dare make things difficult. Instead, he brought something over. Look."
As he spoke, Lin Tian took out the Qiong Gou Jade, and Xiao Manxuan’s eyes lit up in surprise, "Such a unique shape, a style from the Pre-Qin Period, could it be the Qiong Gou Jade?"
Such a clever girl, even though she hadn’t seen the Qiong Gou Jade before, she identified it with just one look.
"That’s right. Now we just wait for the final exams to end, Zhang Lingyu to arrive, and we can start looking for the Yin Jade," Lin Tian confirmed.
"You’re making me feel a bit pressured. I still don’t know if I can fully perform the Summoning piece." Xiao Manxuan wasn’t worried about the final exams, instead worrying about her performance. Lin Tian was speechless.
However, Lin Tian knew that the final exams wouldn’t be too difficult for the two of them. He put the Qiong Gou Jade away again and said, "Let’s go back. Tomorrow, the final exams officially start."
To be precise, the final exams had already started today, as the physical education and elective exams were underway. With numerous university subjects, the coming days meant both Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan would be engrossed in exams.
On Friday afternoon, Lin Tian finished his last lab exam and walked out of the biology school’s lab. Habitually stretching, he was about to leave when a woman in a black dress hurriedly walked in.
"Junior Lin Tian?" The woman in the black dress noticed Lin Tian at first glance, looking both surprised and pleased.
"Senior Sister Yang Lin." Lin Tian also recognized the woman in the black dress, Senior Sister Yang Lin, the student council’s vice president, quite cheerful and open-minded. She had even said she wanted to pursue him for a senior-junior romance.
"Just in time to see you. The student council is organizing a gathering, inviting core members of all major clubs after exams, for everyone to communicate and prepare for the next semester. You must come," Yang Lin quickly said, straightforwardly.
Lin Tian smiled, hesitating, "Senior, I might not have..."
Before he could finish saying "time," Yang Lin had already handed him two invitation cards and walked away hastily, not forgetting to leave a remark: "Remember to bring your pretty little girlfriend. If you come alone, I’ll pursue you myself."
Lin Tian smiled wryly. In this day and age, women dare to tease men.
Thinking it over, Lin Tian headed towards the medical school. Not even at the entrance yet, he saw Xiao Manxuan walking out, drawing frequent side glances from the male students passing by. Whether in appearance or talent, the little girl was now truly the campus belle.
With so many students’ attention, Xiao Manxuan immediately noticed Lin Tian outside. A joyful smile appeared on her face, and this radiant smile left the surrounding male students stunned.
But then they saw the "goddess campus belle" running towards a guy. Just as they were about to be indignant, they recognized him as the well-known Lin Tian and instantly calmed down.
As soon as the two met, they each pulled out a card. Seeing the card in the little girl’s hand, Lin Tian smiled wryly, as it was exactly the same as his own — also an invitation card.
Xiao Manxuan also laughed, "Looks like we have no choice but to go."
"Alright, let’s go. We are members of the Martial Arts Club, after all. Let’s give some face to Sister Lan," Lin Tian said humorously. Being the leader, Mu Binglan would definitely attend.
"Yes, and if the Karate Club causes trouble, we can teach them a lesson!" Xiao Manxuan said proudly, clenching her delicate fist.
The time on the invitation was at 7:30 that evening, at the banquet hall on the top floor of the canteen in the central district. With the student council needing the banquet hall, the school would certainly facilitate it.
It was already about six o’clock, leaving little time. Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan went back to their dorm to eat and change, and it was already past seven.
Xiao Manxuan wore a white dress, paired with light pink high heels, accentuating her tall figure. Her long, fair legs, slender waist, and proud chest. Though her outfit was quite conservative, she exuded an alluring and sexy vibe.
The little girl was slowly growing up, gradually shedding her innocence, adding a hint of femininity, and becoming more captivating.
