"When you say that, it sounds a lot like those magic artifacts used by demon exorcists." Xiao Manxue blinked and guessed, but she wasn’t very sure.

Lin Tian shook his head, indicating he didn’t understand: "I don’t know either. Regardless of what the guqin is, the range of its sound was extremely wide that time, attracting considerable attention, including that of Yasuo."

"I guess Yasuo knows something. He’s been scheming about the guqin for a while. He used the Spiritual Cultivation Class to cause some trouble before; Ning Luoxi is currently pursuing him. Coincidentally, I also want to completely solve this problem, so I partnered with Ning Luoxi to use the guqin to lure out Yasuo and then set a trap to capture him."

"So did you have Xuanxuan play the guqin to lure Yasuo out?" Xiao Manxue asked with a frown.

"Rest assured, Miss. We had prepared thoroughly at the time; the issue didn’t arise there. During Yasuo’s roundup, I had already moved Xuanxuan outside the combat circle," Lin Tian quickly explained.

"Then why did Xuanxuan’s heterogeneous energy erupt?" Xiao Manxue was still puzzled.

Lin Tian sighed slightly and murmured: "In truth, I haven’t figured that part out. When Yasuo interacted with the guqin, he dripped blood on it, which led to the guqin’s abnormal change. The guqin suddenly erupted with the same kind of heterogeneous energy as inside Xuanxuan!"

"How is that possible!" Xiao Manxue exclaimed, utterly surprised. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Lin Tian spread his hands helplessly: "I also want to say it’s impossible, but it really happened. What’s even weirder is that the guqin’s abnormal change caused Xuanxuan’s internal heterogeneous energy to explode. You know, after Xuanxuan erupted, even I couldn’t suppress her. She defeated and wounded Yasuo with a single blow."

"But Yasuo was rescued by Xu Feibai, whose strength is quite terrifying. During our fight, the chances were fifty-fifty; neither of us could gain the upper hand," Lin Tian said truthfully, not belittling Xu Feibai.

"I felt it on the island as well; his energy always targeted you. I didn’t expect his strength to be so formidable," Xiao Manxue said in surprise.

"Let’s set that aside for now. After Xuanxuan’s energy eruption, her aura surprisingly merged with the guqin. What’s even stranger is that after the guqin calmed down, Xuanxuan’s internal energy also settled without any adverse after-effects."

"Moreover, I found that after the incident, Xuanxuan’s eyesight and hearing became better, and her spiritual sense intensity almost reached the level of an average ancient martial artist," Lin Tian said, quite amazed.

"No wonder, I felt it too when I met her this time. Is the heterogeneous energy good or bad for her?" Xiao Manxue was also puzzled; the energy had once almost taken Xiao Manxuan’s life, but now it strengthened her.

Lin Tian shook his head, still confused: "I don’t understand either, but if we can unlock the guqin’s secrets, maybe we can unravel the mystery of Xuanxuan’s internal energy."

"Then let’s capture Yasuo for questioning," Xiao Manxue’s eyes lit up as she proposed.

Lin Tian waved his hand, smiling: "Impossible. Right now, he’s under Xu Feibai’s protection. Before helping Xu Feibai complete his task, Xu Feibai won’t let anyone capture Yasuo. Besides, I feel that Yasuo doesn’t fully know either. He was bewildered by the guqin’s abnormal change, so if he knew beforehand, he wouldn’t have dripped blood on it."

"What should we do then?" Xiao Manxue asked, feeling there’s no good solution.

"Looking at it now, the guqin seems beneficial to Xuanxuan, so first, we must ensure the guqin’s safety. Secondly, I’m seeking ways to resolve the heterogeneous energy issue; I won’t let Xuanxuan be harmed," Lin Tian said resolutely.

"You’re so good to Xuanxuan; do you like her?" Miss suddenly asked out of the blue.

Lin Tian calmly replied: "Miss is so good to me; do you like me?"

Xiao Manxue was stunned for a moment, then blushed, stammering: "Who... Who likes you? No one likes someone who’s bad from head to toe; only a ghost would like you. Besides, who said being nice to someone means you like them."

Lin Tian spread his hands with a smile: "Miss also understands this logic, doesn’t she?"

"Humph, dodging the question, forget it. No matter what, I must thank you," Xiao Manxue glared at him, feeling helpless.

"By the way, Charlotte absorbed the Eye of the Creator, how will we explain to the Old Earl when we return?" Xiao Manxue asked again.

Lin Tian spread his hands indifferently: "Since it’s gone, we’ll just say it’s been put away. As for whether they believe it or not, that’s not my concern."

"Alright, they can’t do anything to you anyway. Let’s go then and announce the news, lest everyone outside is still searching aimlessly like headless flies," Xiao Manxue cast a charming look at him, looking rather helpless.

The two returned to their rooms, changed clothes, tidied up, and went to the jewelry exhibition hall together. It was already afternoon, but visitors hadn’t decreased; many who couldn’t find the black diamond had returned. Some were disappointed, others indifferent, but everyone’s topic revolved around the Eye of the Creator.

"Lin Tian, you’re back," Xiao Manxuan saw Lin Tian and her sister appear and quickly ran over.

Accompanying them were Zhou Botong and Ou Mengmeng; Zhou Botong couldn’t wait to ask, "Brother Lin Tian, I saw you went out together, did you find the Eye of the Creator?"

"Of course, when I’m on a task, even a needle in the sea can be found," Lin Tian said confidently.

"Really? Did you bring it out for us to see?" Zhou Botong said excitedly, and Xiao Manxuan and Ou Mengmeng felt the same.

"Uh, it’s said that the Eye of the Creator has a curse, so I put it away," Lin Tian said casually.

Initially, when the people around heard he found it, they expressed envy and jealousy, but upon hearing Lin Tian say he stored it away, they immediately showed contempt.

"Humph, turns out he’s just another braggart."

"Exactly, I also say I found it, but put it away, do you believe me?"

"Hahaha, I believe it, I believe it..." A group of people started laughing, clearly mocking Lin Tian.

"You all are awful, talking like this is truly disgraceful!" Xiao Manxuan was furious at their ridicule of Lin Tian, almost rolling up her sleeves to fight.

"Humph, does he not fear shame by boasting like that?" These people wouldn’t give face, still looking disdainful.

"Young man, wanting to show off is fine, but excess is not good. Keep it low-key," an old man also advised Lin Tian, patronizingly.

"Oh, is it so lively here? What interesting thing happened, why not share it with me?" The Old Earl’s group came over, smiling.

"Count Carlos," the young people greeted with respect.

"Count Carlos, this young man said he found the Eye of the Creator, although it’s just the first day, everyone finds it hard to believe, thus questioned him," said the old man.

Beside him, Ou Qinglan looked surprised, for she knew Lin Tian wouldn’t brag about such matters, and she knew his abilities, so when Lin Tian said he found it, it must be true.

Accomplishing something as if finding a needle in the sea indeed, yet she couldn’t think of a good method herself at that moment.
