Chapter 1868 - 1865: Reflect Seriously

Qiao Xiaoyi paused, then nodded in agreement, "Brother Lin is right, I’ll pay attention in the future."

"Hmph!" Mu Binglan snorted lightly, "What your Brother Lin says works, but whatever I say means nothing."

Qiao Xiaoyi quickly shook his head and hastily explained, "It... it works, what you say certainly matters..."

Watching them, Lin Tian found it amusing. Clearly, Mu Binglan was supposed to kneel before Qiao Xiaoyi and call him "World Venerable," but after reincarnation, the situation seemed reversed. Isn’t this a kind of destiny?

"Alright, let’s head back first. See you tomorrow." Lin Tian waved suavely and left with Xiao Manxuan.

As they walked further away, Xiao Manxuan suddenly sighed, "It’s such a pity for those two, they’re destined not to end up together."

Lin Tian understood what the little girl meant; Qiao Xiaoyi is the reincarnation of Ksitigarbha, destined not to have romantic love.

"Xiaoyi is the reincarnation of Ksitigarbha, and his consciousness needs to awaken, surely going through nine tribulations and ten difficulties, with the emotional barrier being the hardest to overcome. But once passed, Xiaoyi’s heart will not harbor small love between men and women; his love will be for all beings." Lin Tian said calmly.

Xiao Manxuan blinked hesitantly, "Should we tell them? To avoid diving deeper and in the end are left with endless regret and sorrow."

Lin Tian smiled helplessly, "Do you think it’s possible? Not just Xiaoyi and Mu Binglan, even Ning Wenbin and Wu Xiuluo are the same. The difference is, Wu Xiuluo has awakened part of her consciousness and won’t let herself and Ning Wenbin fall too deep."

"Don’t worry so much, none of them are ordinary people. After their consciousness awakens, the realm they’re in is beyond our understanding. Perhaps, by then, romantic love between men and women might seem as insignificant as dust to them." Lin Tian gently patted the little girl’s head, smiling.

Xiao Manxuan smiled radiantly, "Actually, I wish I were an ordinary person."

When the little girl said this, she looked at Lin Tian, her face slightly flushed, her eyes bright and watery, as if they could melt Lin Tian.

Looking into her eyes, the deepest strings in Lin Tian’s heart trembled fiercely; it was something unforgettable. But Lin Tian knew, the little girl wasn’t ordinary either; yet, up to now, he couldn’t see through her.

As they reached the apartment building’s entrance, Xiao Manxuan suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, "Oh, I forgot, when you were unconscious earlier, I was worried and called my sister."

"So what if you called? It’s not like she can fly over thousands of miles. Sending a message to reassure her will do." Lin Tian said nonchalantly.

Since the jewelry exhibition, Miss has been busier because Tianxue Jewelry has grown stronger, already an international jewelry company, naturally bringing more business involvement. Along with the powerful rise of the Xiao Family pharmaceuticals, it’s fair to say Miss has never been busier.

Sometimes, Lin Tian feels he’s been a bit too carefree, sitting back earning money, doing little while leaving everything to Mrs. Xiao and Miss.

"I doubt she would." Xiao Manxuan agreed.

They went upstairs, opened the door, and were stunned, as the living room lights were all on, a silhouetted figure standing before the sofa, neither sitting nor pacing, visibly uneasy.

"Sister!"

"Miss!"

Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan almost called out simultaneously; the silhouetted figure was none other than Xiao Manxue, whom they believed wouldn’t appear.

Although Miss looked somewhat travel-worn, her beauty remained untarnished.

Wearing a white blouse on top, her chest rising prominently, seemingly unable to constrain the buttons.

Down below, it cinched quickly, revealing a slender waist, followed by a semi-length skirt showcasing long legs, confidently without stockings, testament to self-assurance in her leg skin.

And indeed, the skin on Miss’s long legs was astonishingly good, naturally beautiful, enhanced by the True Qi nurtured through Ancient Martial practice, her skin wasn’t just white but lustrous, brimming with Spiritual Energy.

However, the beautiful Miss looked unhappy.

"Lin Tian, I’ll... leave you two to talk. I’m going to my room to change clothes." Xiao Manxuan said anxiously, quickly slipped away, hid in her room.

Miss didn’t care, but instead stared at Lin Tian, "Are you alright now?"

Lin Tian smiled suavely, raised a hand and waved, "Look, still as dashing as ever, not a hair missing."

He intended to lighten the mood, but Miss suddenly shed two rows of tears.

Seeing the usually strong Miss cry caught Lin Tian off guard, he approached carefully and asked gently, "Miss, you..."

"You... idiot, can’t you stay well? Do you know how I felt when I heard you wouldn’t wake from hypnosis?" Miss couldn’t continue, but Lin Tian understood, panic, worry.

He raised his hand, gently wiped the tears from Miss’s face, and said tenderly, "I made Miss worry. From now on, I’ll take good care of myself and not make Miss anxious."

"You bragging fool, who’s worried about you." Miss felt warmth from his touch, and her face flushed slightly, especially as Lin Tian’s fingers brushed across her cheek, quickening her heart rate.

Lin Tian swept a strand of hair from her ear, speaking gently, "Our company’s growing stronger day by day. Miss is busy every day; you must have flown over immediately, I understand, Miss, you’ve worked hard."

Xiao Manxue bowed her head slightly, softly said, "Tianxue Jewelry is our company, I want it to become the strongest jewelry company."

"If I knew you’d work so hard, I wouldn’t have founded this company." Lin Tian felt his heart ache, seeing Miss toil so laboriously.

"I’m happy to, it’s none of your business." Xiao Manxue replied stubbornly.

Lin Tian felt helpless; this little girl was worried sick just now, and now she’s all "brotherly."

He glanced back at the door behind, a smile curling at his lips, "Xuanxuan, how long are you going to eavesdrop, come out!"

Sure enough, Xiao Manxuan emerged with her head lowered, like a child caught doing something wrong.

This little girl was incredibly mischievous; Lin Tian knew she was pretending but didn’t expose her, only gestured for her to come over.

When she came over, Lin Tian took hold of the sisters’ hands and spoke earnestly, "Let’s all live well and happily from now on..."

Both had their faces blush again, but Miss shook off his hand, lifting her chin with a playful tone, "Hmph, who’s going to live happily with you, dream on. Xuanxuan, let’s go back to the room, let this idiot reflect."

Xiao Manxuan blinked at Lin Tian, stuck out her little tongue, indicating she couldn’t help him, then the two returned to the room.

Feeling the lingering warmth on his palm, Lin Tian cursed inwardly for the missed opportunity; apparently, he’s still not charming enough?
