Chapter 2122: Chapter 2119: A Gift for You
Lin Tian raised his eyebrows and said, "What’s the difference? As long as the ancient martial artists still eat and use money, there’s no difference."
"In my view, ancient martial artists also experience emotions like joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. They can fall in love with a woman or like a man. That’s what real people are," Lin Tian smiled slightly.
"What about you? Do you feel the same?" Ou Qinglan asked.
"Of course I do, I’m just an ordinary person," Lin Tian laughed carefreely.
Ou Qinglan laughed too, the disappointment on her face seemed to vanish, and she regained her aura of a strong woman: "I won’t hold you up any longer; I’ll arrange a plane to take you back."
"Thank you, Sister Qing," Lin Tian expressed his gratitude.
With Ou Qinglan’s arrangements, everything went smoothly. Lin Tian immediately boarded the estate’s helicopter, and then went to Zhonghai City Airport and boarded the plane.
After boarding the plane, Lin Tian was about to turn off his phone when a message suddenly appeared. It was from an unfamiliar number, but upon reading the content, Lin Tian knew who it was.
"Ancestor Xu’s behavior surprised me, but when I got to the dungeon, I saw you had already left. Seems Ancestor Xu’s calculations failed. I’ve shipped your things to Jinghua City Airport. The pickup password is the last four digits of your student ID. See you later."
This message was from Xu Feibai, indicating he had visited the dungeon afterward and even shipped a package, which fits his decisive personality.
Lin Tian guessed what the package contained; he didn’t reply to the message and directly turned off his phone.
The plane took off and landed at Jinghua City Airport a few hours later. Lin Tian used the password Xu Feibai sent to retrieve a rectangular package.
He used his perspective to take a look, and it was indeed two broken swords inside, the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword, one real and one replica, but both were broken.
As the car he drove here was still parked at the airport’s parking lot, he drove straight back home, arriving at the Yun Family’s gate around twelve noon.
He parked the car, returned to the villa, opened the door, and saw several beautiful women sitting in the living room: Miss, Xiao Manxuan, and Yun Xiaotian were there.
Although Yun Xiaotian still had short hair, she looked astonishingly beautiful in women’s clothing. More importantly, Lin Tian no longer felt awkward looking at her; any thoughts he had seemed natural without worrying about his orientation.
Though Yun Xiaotian still appeared as a young girl, she had grown remarkably beautiful, with charm not lesser than the Xiao sisters.
"Brother Lin, you’re finally back," Yun Xiaotian ran over with a joyful smile on her face.
"If you hadn’t returned soon, my sister and I were planning to look for you," Xiao Manxuan said playfully.
In front of the young girls and ladies, Miss seemed more restrained, but her eyes were scanning Lin Tian, relieved to see he wasn’t hurt.
"Looks like Sister Qing has told you everything," Lin Tian immediately understood seeing this scene.
Miss approached, glanced at the package in Lin Tian’s hand, and said, "Sister Qing only gave a rough outline, with many unclear details. I bet you didn’t tell her everything either."
Lin Tian went in and placed the package on the table, sighing, "There’s nothing to be done; some things are too secretive and bizarre. Even you, Miss, might not understand or accept them, let alone Sister Qing."
"Oh?" Miss said in surprise, not pressing further, but turned her gaze to the package, "I’m curious, what’s in the package?"
Lin Tian was slightly surprised; Miss indeed lives up to being a sword cultivator, seemingly sensing something. Instead of immediately answering, he opened the package, removed the outer cover, revealing a long wooden box inside, which contained two slender wooden cases.
The material of the wooden cases was a dark red, carved with ancient patterns, indicating their great value as antiques; Xu Feibai was indeed generous.
Such wooden cases were probably valuable even in Xu Feibai’s ancient times, even more so now, though nothing compared to the contents inside.
Lin Tian opened the two wooden cases, and suddenly, a hum sounded—a low sword cry, not from the wooden cases, but from Miss.
Everyone looked at her; Miss moved her hand, and a longsword appeared, the Hua Ying Sword, which emitted a sword sound from its scabbard.
But the sword cry was different from before; previously, it sounded clear and inspiring, but now it was low and sorrowful. Indeed, Lin Tian vaguely heard a sense of melancholy, as if mourning something. Miss gently stroked the sword’s hilt, and the sound gradually faded.
"Lin Tian, the Hua Ying Sword emits a sorrowful cry; surely some sword has been damaged, causing resonance. These two broken swords...?" Miss explained, looking at the broken swords in the wooden case.
"This is the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword, and the other one is a replica," Lin Tian said straightforwardly.
"The Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword!" Miss gasped, her face changing dramatically, "One of the legendary three Divine Artifacts, how did this happen? Who broke them?"
Lin Tian scratched his brow, his expression awkward, "I broke both of them."
Miss was speechless, looking at him as if he was a monster, her eyes seemed to say, ’Are you the terminator of divine swords?’
Lin Tian said helplessly, "I didn’t want this either; who knew a supposedly invincible Divine Artifact could be so fragile. At that time, it was life or death..."
These words were not exaggerated; the Sword Qi combined with the Barrier was truly unstoppable, forcing Lin Tian to fight back. He briefly explained the situation at that time.
Yun Tian listened somewhat confused, while Miss and Xiao Manxuan suddenly understood. The Xiao sisters knew the context, so they understood why Xu Feibai asked Lin Tian to step in.
"But the Xu Family treating you that way is really ungrateful," Xiao Manxuan glared, expressing displeasure, Miss also frowned, clearly dissatisfied with the Xu Family.
"Ancestor Xu truly deserves a thrashing; living over two thousand years, he only acts according to his own will. However, this trip wasn’t without gains; look here," Lin Tian was somewhat annoyed with Ancestor Xu, but ironically gained quite a bit, for example, the pearl in his hand.
The sea-blue pearl, the size of a fist, emitted a soft blue light under the lights, making the ladies’ eyes light up. They had seen top-grade jewelry before, and were still delighted to see the pearl, showing its allure.
"Is this a Luminous Pearl?" Yun Xiaotian asked in surprise.
"It’s so beautiful, like it contains a blue ocean," Xiao Manxuan blinked, her face full of curiosity.
Miss was initially surprised, then her expression turned solemn, "What pure energy."
"Miss, the pearl is for you," Lin Tian smiled slightly, handing the pearl to Miss.
The sea-blue light cast on her fair, delicate face, giving her a mysterious charm.
