Chapter 467: Chapter 466 A Huge Misunderstanding

"Sneak into my room?" Lin Tian stared at Xiao Manxuan, dumbfounded. Who comes up with these things? It was your sister who slipped into my room, okay!

"No way." Lin Tian denied, just wondering why this little girl was being shy when she hadn’t really sneaked into his room.

Xiao Manxuan’s face showed disbelief as she pointed to the slippers on the floor and said, "Those are my slippers, they’ve always been in my room. If you didn’t sneak into my room, why are they in your hands?"

"These are Miss..." Lin Tian blurted out, almost revealing last night’s incident, but thankfully he stopped himself in time.

But what’s with this Miss? Why wear Xiao Manxuan’s slippers for no reason? Now caught red-handed by the little girl.

He quickly added, "These are from the day before yesterday, I found them in the back garden. Little Hua must have played with them and dropped them in the bushes, I guess."

"Really?" Xiao Manxuan didn’t believe him at all because the slippers were clean.

Lin Tian looked down and also noticed this fact. Damn, why tell such a lie that implicates Little Hua of all things? Nobody would believe that these clean slippers had been played with by Little Hua, the female Tibetan Mastiff.

"Err, perhaps Little Hua licked them clean." In order to protect the Miss’ innocence, Lin Tian had to continue the lie with a stiff upper lip. Who would have known that these would be the little girl’s slippers? A damn set-up of slippers.

Xiao Manxuan was still not convinced. She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly, as if struck by a revelation, she said, "Lin Tian, I’ve read in the news that some people have a special fetish for stealing girls’ personal garments. Do you have this sort of fetish?"

A fetish? Lin Tian looked at the little girl dumbfounded. What kind of twisted logic is that? A fetish attributed to me, of all people? With my charm, would I even need to be obsessed with those things? It’s all Miss’ fault. Look at the misunderstanding now, he thought feeling very aggrieved.

"Second Miss, I want to tell you very solemnly that I have no such thing as a ghost fetish. Look, a Goddess as beautiful and cute as Second Miss right here before my eyes, if I were to adore anyone, it would be a Goddess like you, the First school beauty. How could I possibly obsess over things like girls’ underwear or slippers? You agree, right?" Lin Tian declared righteously.

To his surprise, the little girl’s face lit up with a joyful smile. She blinked her large eyes and said, "Scoundrel, what did you just say? It was too quiet, I couldn’t hear it clearly."

Was I speaking softly? Lin Tian looked at her puzzled, sure that he had been quite loud, but still he said, "I said that there’s no way I’m a fetishist."

"Not that line, the other one," Xiao Manxuan said, still looking at him seriously.

Damn, this little girl has even thicker skin than me, Lin Tian finally got her meaning. She wanted to hear his earlier compliment again.

A Goddess like her doesn’t need someone else’s praise, right? Or is it because it was from me that she’s so pleased? Lin Tian thought rather narcissistically.

Clearing his throat, he said solemnly, "Ahem, I said that the Second Miss is lovely and adorable, the Goddess of my heart."

"I see..." Xiao Manxuan pretended to ponder, then said earnestly, "Alright, I believe you. You are my bodyguard, under my wise and mighty leadership, how could you possibly sneak into my room? However, if you want to enter next time, remember to tell me, I might consider letting you in. Let’s go to school now."

After speaking, the little girl picked up her schoolbag and walked out of the hall with her head held high and chest puffed out. Lin Tian also breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he shed the title of a fetishist. As for the slipper incident, it should be over, right? Who would have thought that a kiss could lead to such trouble? What a failure I am.

Lin Tian also picked up his schoolbag and followed her out.

Xiao Manxuan, walking in front, suddenly turned around and said with a sly grin, "Scoundrel, I have a few more pairs of such slippers. Are you sure you don’t need to collect a complete pair?"

A complete pair of slippers? Lin Tian looked at the little girl’s bright smile, completely stunned by her comment, as a few crows seemed to fly over his head in his mind, and with a "plop," his schoolbag fell to the ground.

Wasn’t the slipper incident supposed to be closed? Lin Tian silently questioned the heavens.

"Haha, just kidding." Xiao Manxuan winked mischievously and chuckled, "It’s just that you always try to act cool and suave. Seeing you embarrassed once in a while makes me happy too."

After saying that, she trotted out with joyful steps, her skirt fluttering in the morning light, making the little girl look like a gleeful dancing sprite.

Turns out I was just entertainment for the little girl, but seeing her so happy, it was worth being amused like this. After all, I’m the man, Lin Tian thought, his heart lifting as he watched her joyous figure.

Back in the days of the Western Zhou, King You of Zhou lit the beacons to amuse Bao Si, the Goddess, fooling the lords and thus lost their trust. The price he paid was the fall of Haojing and his death at the hands of the Quanrong.

That concubine Bao Si was probably not as pretty as Xiao Manxuan, so I thought it’s worth it to make her happy this way, Lin Tian mused, picking up his schoolbag and heading out.

Arriving at school, Lin Tian noticed that Zhang Lingyu’s seat was still empty. He wondered what the little girl was up to. Had she been busier than him these past few days?

I deal with Gu sorcery during the day and take part in military operations at night. Even with that, I still come to class. Could this little girl be dealing with state affairs? Lin Tian glanced at the empty seat, speculating.

"Good morning, students!" The first class was Chinese, and Fang Ming greeted the class as usual upon entering.

Today, she wore a tender green lining with a simple blouse over it, deviating from her usual monotonous black-and-white professional outfit. The vibrant colors of her clothes and the uncontainable joy brimming in her eyes made her seem ten years younger.

The students of Class One, Grade Three noticed their class advisor’s apparent transformation. The charm between her brows and the heartfelt smile revealed what is known as divine radiance. Such luster, refined by the years and blooming anew, invoked sincere admiration from onlookers.
