An ordinary peace charm, Lin Tian actually sensed an energy fluctuation within it. Although this energy fluctuation was very faint, almost imperceptible, he indeed sensed it, and he believed his clairvoyant ability wouldn’t deceive him.
Lin Tian had always thought Zhang Lingyu was not simple, never expecting that even giving a gift was not simple.
"Is this a talisman paper?" Lin Tian used his clairvoyance to see inside and found it was a talisman paper, and couldn’t help but be surprised.
"Peace charms always have talisman paper inside, what’s so strange about that?" Xiao Manxuan asked puzzledly, quite curious about why Lin Tian reacted so strongly.
Lin Tian withdrew his clairvoyant gaze and said nonchalantly, "Oh, nothing, it’s the first time I’ve seen a peace charm, so I was just a bit curious. By the way, when Zhang Lingyu gave you the peace charm, did she say anything?"
"Say anything? She played a game with me." Xiao Manxuan thought for a moment and said.
"What game?" Lin Tian pursued the question further.
"A tarot card game, Sister Yu had me draw three tarot cards, saying she wanted to divine for me. I’ve played astrology games before, they were quite fun, so I went along." Xiao Manxuan said happily.
Zodiac signs, tarot cards, astrology, most girls enjoy these things because women are emotional and are drawn to such mysterious things. Two girls playing tarot cards should be a common occurrence.
"What cards did you draw?" Lin Tian asked, though he had no knowledge of tarot cards, Twelve Life Palaces, or astrology and had never paid attention to them; boys rarely focus on these astrological things.
"The first card was The Hanged Man, the second was Death, the third was The Star..." Xiao Manxuan counted on her fingers, but Lin Tian interrupted her.
Lin Tian said embarrassedly, "Uh, Second Miss, I’m not very familiar with tarot cards."
Rarely did Lin Tian come across something he didn’t understand, and Xiao Manxuan eagerly explained, giving a rough introduction to tarot cards.
Tarot cards, the English term is "TAROT," are considered the secret library of nature, a very ancient method of divination in the West, which was very popular in Europe during the Medieval period. Of course, modern women are also quite interested in these things.
Their origin is a mystery, but their status in the West is comparable to that of "Zhou Yi" in Huaxia, highlighting their significance.
There are 78 tarot cards, divided into Major Arcana and Minor Arcana, with 22 cards in the former and 56 in the latter, used for divination.
The Major Arcana includes cards like The Fool, The Magician, The Priestess, and others, among which The Hanged Man, Death, and The Star are all from the Major Arcana. The Minor Arcana is divided into four suits: Wands, Pentacles, Cups, and Swords.
"So, what do The Hanged Man, Death, and The Star represent?" Lin Tian asked again.
"The Hanged Man features a warrior, hands bound, hanging, with an angel’s halo overhead, symbolizing self-sacrifice. The Death card shows Death riding a white horse, clad in armor, embodying an unstoppable force, symbolizing an end."
"As for The Star, under the light of Sirius, the Hope Goddess pours Hope Holy Water from the holy water bottle into the pool, symbolizing hope." Xiao Manxuan explained the tarot cards expertly, very familiar with them.
"Sacrifice, end, hope, what does this mean? It doesn’t sound too optimistic." Lin Tian was puzzled. Divination is something that some believe, and some don’t. Anyway, Lin Tian didn’t care much, as he believed more in himself, that destiny was in his own hands.
Xiao Manxuan shook her head and said, "It doesn’t seem very good, but I’m neither an Astrologer nor a Divination Master, just playing around, I don’t know how to interpret the cards."
"You’re so happy despite it being bad, are you running a fever?" Lin Tian touched her forehead, laughing.
Xiao Manxuan swatted away Lin Tian’s hand, dismissively saying, "Zodiac signs, tarot cards, these are just for fun, who actually believes in them."
"And Zhang Lingyu didn’t say anything else? She just gave you the peace charm directly?" Lin Tian asked helplessly.
"Yeah, it was just a game anyway, what else was there to say?" Xiao Manxuan replied as a matter of course.
"Uh, it’s nothing, just curious about Zhang Lingyu suddenly giving you a gift, here, let me put it on for you, don’t let her good intentions go to waste." Lin Tian pretended to say casually.
Xiao Manxuan didn’t notice Lin Tian’s expression and nodded in agreement with his proposal.
Lin Tian placed the red string around the Second Miss’s neck, gently lifting her silky long hair, hanging the string around her neck. The little girl’s neck skin was very fair; Lin Tian couldn’t resist lightly tracing across the nape.
Xiao Manxuan’s nape was also sensitive, feeling as if a current flowed from Lin Tian’s fingers, leaving her nape skin with a tingling sensation.
The little girl quickly stepped back two steps to escape Lin Tian’s devilish grasp, unsure if Lin Tian’s actions were intentional or accidental, she could only glare at him gently.
Lin Tian, thick-skinned, smiled nonchalantly, "This is good, now, you have Little Zi protecting you, plus the peace charm blessing you, you’ll definitely be safe and sound."
"Hee hee, you forgot one, besides Little Zi and the peace charm, there’s you too." Xiao Manxuan giggled and said.
"Hmm, I almost forgot, there’s me, the expert." Lin Tian said with vanity.
"You’re so thick-skinned." Xiao Manxuan laughed, then turned to tidy up her clothes, and upon turning back, the peace charm was no longer visible outside her clothes.
Lin Tian instinctively looked toward her chest, the peace charm was surely inside her clothes, perhaps nestled between her peaks.
Imagining this scenario, Lin Tian felt his nose bleed about to gush out, internally envying, sighing, peace charm, oh peace charm, you’re too damn lucky.
Xiao Manxuan saw Lin Tian staring intently at her chest, even though there was distance and clothing, she still felt as if Lin Tian could see through her.
The little girl’s pretty face instantly flushed red, coyly scolding, "You big pervert, stop looking, or I’ll gouge out your eyes!"
Lin Tian had no choice but to withdraw his gaze with regret, it was such a pity, if that sinful button on her chest were to pop, he would get a view, he shamelessly thought.
"What are you daydreaming about, hurry to school, there’s an exam in the afternoon." Xiao Manxuan scolded again, then turned and walked downstairs.
Lin Tian looked at Xiao Manxuan’s back, the smile fading from his face, softly murmuring, "I hope it’s a good thing."
In Xiao Manxuan’s eyes, it was just an ordinary peace charm, but to Lin Tian, he felt it wasn’t that simple. The faint energy fluctuation couldn’t escape his Eye of Clarity. Could an ordinary peace charm have an energy fluctuation?
What was the meaning behind Zhang Lingyu’s tarot card game? What was her intention? Lin Tian didn’t know, maybe only Zhang Lingyu could unravel all these mysteries.
