Chapter 1720 - 1717: Truly Not Peaceful

Looking at Xiao Manxuan’s expression, Lin Tian immediately knew what was going on; the little girl must have found out that the soccer club was causing trouble.

Ning Wenbin’s big mouth, truly unreliable; even though I told him not to say anything, he still let it slip. Lin Tian was speechless. But thankfully, the little girl hadn’t gone off and dismantled the school.

Honestly, if the little girl went all out, Lin Tian wasn’t sure if he could stop her.

He had just walked to the soccer field when Xiao Manxuan came running over. Her face, initially filled with anger, changed to worry upon seeing Lin Tian. Before Lin Tian could say anything, she already asked, "Lin Tian, did the principal do anything to you?"

Seeing the little girl’s concern, Lin Tian genuinely smiled, "It’s nothing, just a conversation. Anyway, it’s not the first time the principal has talked to me."

Just then, Ning Wenbin walked over, smiling somewhat awkwardly, "Brother Lin Tian, I didn’t want to say anything either, but Mr. Xiao promised to help me arrange a meeting with Xiuluo. You know, Xiuluo is my Achilles’ heel. For the sake of a brother’s happiness, you won’t blame me, right?"

"What else can I say," Lin Tian was quite helpless.

"Haha, exactly, everything’s fine now. You were worried Mr. Xiao would go off and dismantle the school. Look, the school’s perfectly fine," Ning Wenbin chuckled, but immediately realized the atmosphere was off.

Seeing Xiao Manxuan glaring at Lin Tian with an angry expression, Ning Wenbin instantly realized he had misspoken and quickly made his escape.

"Lin Tian, do I seem that violent to you? You actually dared to say I would dismantle the school, hmph!" Xiao Manxuan puffed up angrily.

Considering how you single-handedly repelled Xu Feibai, dismantling the school would be light work, Lin Tian mused internally. But outwardly, he said, "That’s just an exaggeration. With Xuanxuan’s charm, a mere glance is all it takes to resolve anything; no need to dismantle anything."

"Hmph, I don’t believe your sweet talk." Xiao Manxuan proudly turned her head, but there was a faint smile at the corners of her mouth.

"Oh, by the way, just now Ning Wenbin said you could help him arrange a meeting with Wu Xiuluo. Is that true?" Lin Tian quickly changed the subject.

"Of course it’s true. I’m not one to lie." Xiao Manxuan said confidently.

Lin Tian’s gaze flickered slightly, and he asked nonchalantly, "You don’t have much of a relationship with Wu Xiuluo, right? Would she listen to you?"

Xiao Manxuan thought for a moment, then said, "Actually, I’m a bit puzzled; she contacted me first."

"What? She approached you?" Lin Tian frowned. Wu Xiuluo’s background was mysterious, getting close to the Second Miss was definitely not a good thing.

"Wu Xiuluo wants to see my guqin; should I let her see it?" Xiao Manxuan asked hesitantly; she hadn’t managed to figure out Wu Xiuluo’s intentions when she privately approached her.

"So she wants to see the guqin. Fine, take the chance to gauge her. How about tonight, invite her out." Lin Tian raised his eyebrows, a smile appearing in his eyes.

"Lin Tian, come over for class. Also, Mr. Xiao, go back to class." Xu Feibai interrupted the two’s conversation.

"Alright, I’ll head back to class first. I’ll message Wu Xiuluo after class." Xiao Manxuan waved her hand and turned to run.

Lin Tian glanced back at Xu Feibai, "Are you jealous of me, intentionally interrupting our conversation?"

"I’ve seen more beauties than you’ve seen men; why would I be jealous of you? Also, I’m your senior, your teacher, so pay attention to how you speak from now on." Xu Feibai said casually, adding a word of advice at the end.

Lin Tian coldly laughed, still unrestrained, "Don’t think I don’t know. This clan respects power, whoever’s level is higher, their status is elevated. You and I are equal level, naturally our status is the same, so stop calling me junior all the time, or else let’s duke it out again."

"You know quite a lot. Let’s put aside junior-senior talk for now; I’m still your teacher, and you can’t change that fact." Xu Feibai smiled.

"For accompanying me to the principal’s office, I’ll give you face." Lin Tian refrained from arguing further with him, returning to the group of classmates.

Ning Wenbin walked over, quietly said, "Brother Lin Tian, I noticed you seemed to be sparring with Teacher Xu again, didn’t you? Actually, he’s not bad; at least he spoke up for you during that matter earlier."

"Since you think he’s good, let’s forget about inviting Wu Xiuluo tonight." Lin Tian smirked knowingly.

"What! Inviting Xiuluo? Mr. Xiao truly has his ways; no way, I need to prepare. I must present my best self in front of her." Upon hearing he could meet his goddess, Ning Wenbin was instantly exhilarated, unable to contain his excitement, and turned to leave.

Lin Tian quickly pulled him back, then pointed to the sun in the sky, "Brother, do you really have to rush so early? The sun still has several hours before it sets."

"Right, can’t skip class. Xiuluo’s grades are excellent; she definitely wouldn’t want to see me skip class either." Ning Wenbin muttered, responding completely off-topic.

Lin Tian watched helplessly; if this guy wasn’t putting on an act, then he must be a hopeless romantic. But at least managed to bring his soul back.

The subsequent physical education class went on without further disturbance. Lin Tian’s first PE class in college unfolded with unexpected twists and turns—encountering Xu Feibai, having foreign players try to hijack the field, then being called to the principal’s office—the class had become a unique experience.

"Brother Lin Tian, I’m heading back now. Let me know once the date’s set..." Ning Wenbin’s words were cut short as he dashed off, his mind preoccupied with the evening’s rendezvous.

The other classes also finished PE. A group of girls walked over from the volleyball court, and Xiao Manxuan was among them.

"Lin Tian, I’ll wait for you in the equipment room," Xu Feibai announced upon seeing Xiao Manxuan come over, then left dribbling a soccer ball.

Lin Tian knew that guy had finally decided to speak up; truly not easy.

"Lin Tian, I arranged with Wu Xiuluo to meet at Fengye Restaurant at 7 PM, remember to notify Ning Wenbin to come along; don’t want him saying I broke my promise," Xiao Manxuan immediately shared the good news upon approaching, of course a good news for Ning Wenbin.

"Got it, oh, also, you head back first. I’m going to find Xu Feibai to discuss something." Lin Tian pointed towards the equipment room, not hiding anything but not divulging the specifics either.

Xiao Manxuan, being a clever girl, didn’t ask further, just blinked her curious big eyes and then left.

She really is a good girl, as he watched the little girl’s silhouette, an involuntary smile spread across Lin Tian’s face.

"Seeing that smile, tsk tsk, you look like some charming Casanova." A voice suddenly came from beside him.

Lin Tian slowly turned his head, casting him a sidelong glance, "Weren’t you waiting for me in the equipment room? Come out here to eavesdrop? Your hobby’s quite odd."

Xu Feibai shrugged indifferently, "The equipment room’s filled with blind spots, easy to overhear. The field here is better, no place to hide even if you want to. Your school is really something."
