Chapter 703: Chapter 700: The Mystery of Why the Second Miss Can’t Learn Ancient Martial

Lin Tian’s mind flashed with the image of the bustling nurse and he felt somewhat guilty. He had indeed saved her, only to have her actually start working as a maid.

"That might be good," Lin Tian said.

"Yes, considering her current situation, being busy might indeed be a good thing," Xiao Manxue said.

"So what brings Miss here to find me so early in the morning?" Lin Tian asked, puzzled.

Xiao Manxue gave him a look and said, "Early in the morning? It’s almost one in the afternoon, you haven’t eaten all night and missed breakfast, so I had someone make some food for you."

After she finished speaking, she unpacked the box on the table, taking out two dishes, a soup bowl, a set of chopsticks, and the rest was plain rice. Seeing these delicious dishes, Lin Tian’s appetite surged, Being a zombie, although he wouldn’t die from not eating, it would be foolish to pass up good food.

Lin Tian was about to jump out of bed as soon as he lifted the blanket, but as soon as he did, both people in the room froze because Lin Tian was not yet dressed.

"You... you..." the Miss stammered, but couldn’t continue. She cursed him as a big pervert and ran out the door.

Watching the Miss flee in haste, Lin Tian felt quite innocent inside. Last time it was Xiao Manxuan, this time it was the Miss, both sisters have seen me entirely, yet I’m the one at a loss. It seems as if they are the victims, it’s so unfair!

Lin Tian shook his head, saw a set of new clothes on the bedside, guessed they were brought by the Miss, and swiftly dressed without giving it much thought.

Having dressed, and while enjoying the meal, Lin Tian had just taken a few bites when another head peeked through the door, it was Xiao Manxuan the little girl, sneaking glances left and right until she saw Lin Tian had noticed her, then cheekily stuck out her tongue.

"What brings Second Miss here," Lin Tian said with a bit of amusement, seeing her adorable look.

"Hmph, where were you last night? Come clean, did you go do something dangerous again? Why didn’t you take me with you? I’m also very powerful now, with Little Zi, I’m not afraid of those bad guys," Xiao Manxuan boasted, touching the necklace on her neck.

Lin Tian sighed on purpose and said, "Ah, let’s not talk about it, it was too dangerous, good thing you didn’t come."

"Ah, really? Did you get hurt?" Xiao Manxuan saw that Lin Tian was serious, said anxiously, and ran up to check if Lin Tian was injured.

"Second Miss, don’t take advantage of the situation, how could I possibly get hurt with my skills," Lin Tian quickly stopped her fumbling hands.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Manxuan just shook her head, earnestly said, "Don’t lie to me, I just saw Kikuchi Mika and asked my sister about her, but she only said it was a bad guy from the Sun Shadow Association that you scared off and brought back. But I know, it must not have been that easy, right?"

Lin Tian had experienced the little girl’s ability to almost read minds before, and this time was no exception. Although she didn’t know the specific details, she had guessed that things were complicated.

He originally didn’t want to mention what had happened at the shrine, but rather than let her wildly speculate, he thought it better to tell her, especially since the shrine had been dealt with.

Lin Tian had her sit down, handed her a bowl of rice, and said, "Just woke up, haven’t eaten yet, right? Come, eat and talk at the same time."

"I am a bit hungry," Xiao Manxuan touched her stomach, feeling a bit embarrassed, then added, "You’re in luck, the meals were personally cooked by my sister, they’re really tasty."

"Miss personally cooked?" Lin Tian asked, somewhat incredulously.

"Of course, I just came down and saw Sister cleaning the kitchen utensils. How could it be fake?" Xiao Manxuan asserted confidently.

Lin Tian remembered that the Miss had just said that she had instructed someone else to make the meal. He hadn’t expected it was actually her who had prepared it. Lin Tian didn’t know what to say; the Miss clearly cared deeply but still chose to hide it deliberately, leaving him wondering what she was really thinking.

Xiao Manxuan didn’t think too much about it and urged Lin Tian to quickly tell her about what happened last night.

Lin Tian then began in storytelling mode. He found that the two sisters shared similar interests—they both loved listening to stories. Of course, the story Lin Tian told this time was somewhat different; it was a simplified, lighter version.

Although Lin Tian had decided to tell the little girl about the Shrine, some details were too horrifying, and he thought it better not to let her know about them.

Even though Lin Tian had simplified the story, Xiao Manxuan still found it incredibly thrilling, tightly gripping her heart in fear for Lin Tian.

"So, that’s roughly what happened. That’s why it’s good you didn’t go; you would have encountered danger," Lin Tian concluded at last.

Xiao Manxuan fell silent for a while, then said, "Lin Tian, I want to train in Ancient Martial Arts. I want to fight alongside you just like Sister Luoxi. I want to eliminate demons like the Heavenly Master Sister."

"Train in Ancient Martial Arts, huh..." Lin Tian hesitated for a moment, unsure, "With your talent, you’re not less capable than Miss. I also don’t know why she wouldn’t let you learn Ancient Martial Arts—saying that she doesn’t want you involved in brutal fights. That doesn’t make sense. Learning Ancient Martial Arts should indeed help you protect yourself."

"Right, right, that’s what I said too!" Xiao Manxuan sounded as if she had found a kindred spirit, very happy, but she soon hung her head sadly, sighing, "But it’s no use, no matter what I say, Sister refuses to agree. Even using my ultimate weapon, acting cute, doesn’t work."

Lin Tian had seen Xiao Manxuan’s cutesy act before. Whether it was Mrs. Xiao or the Miss, everyone fell for the little girl’s charms and agreed to her requests, but the Miss was so firm about not letting her learn Ancient Martial Arts that Lin Tian was truly puzzled.

Training in Ancient Martial Arts doesn’t have to be about seeking Peak Power, but at the least, it could strengthen the body and provide some ability to defend oneself. It didn’t make sense not to let the little girl learn, especially when her talent was so high—it was a waste of a genius.

"Okay, I’ll talk to the Miss and see if I can persuade her to let you learn Ancient Martial Arts," Lin Tian said.

"Really? That’s great, Lin Tian, you’re so good to me. Here, have a kiss," Xiao Manxuan exclaimed excitedly. Lin Tian thought she would give him a real kiss like the Miss might, but she only blew him a kiss instead.

"Uh, Second Miss, don’t you think a blown kiss seems quite insincere?" Lin Tian teased, mimicking a big bad wolf luring a little girl.

Xiao Manxuan gave a sly smile and snorted, "Hmph, I won’t fall for your tricks. Sister just told me, you’re a big playboy and I shouldn’t let you take advantage!"

Damn, this Miss is really doubting my noble character! Why am I seen as the playboy when I was the one who ended up seeing everything just now? It’s like June snow—a total absurdity! Lin Tian silently lamented to the heavens.

"Second Miss, it’s not right for the Miss to say that..." Lin Tian was just about to clear things up when a voice from outside came in.

"Lin Tian, someone outside specifically asked to see you."
