"Master, this is Charlotte..." A seductive voice ca through the phone into Lin Tian’s ears, and suddenly, a noble and beautiful figure appeared in his mind.
Pretty impressive, able to do this from thousands of miles away. If she appeared in person, what would happen? Lin Tian thought to himself, this Princess’s Bewitching Technique is getting more and more refined, almost on par with the Fox Concubine.
He glanced guiltily at Xiao Manxuan and found the little girl blinking her big eyes at him. Lin Tian pretended to cough twice, keeping a serious expression: "Ahem, what’s the matter? Make it quick, international calls are expensive."
"Master, has my Bewitching Technique improved? I’ve been practicing diligently and haven’t been slacking off..." Charlotte’s voice sounded very obedient.
But Lin Tian knew exactly what she was up to; he couldn’t be fooled by her voice. Who knows what she’s plotting at this mont.
Seeing Xiao Manxuan’s curious big eyes, Lin Tian was embarrassed, being teased by Charlotte while pretending to be serious.
"You keep talking, don’t mind ." Xiao Manxuan waved her hand when she saw Lin Tian looking over repeatedly and reminded him.
"Ahem..." Lin Tian pretended to cough again and said very seriously: "I told you to be brief, be serious, what’s the matter? Finish up, I have to sleep. Don’t you know there’s a ti difference between England and Huaxia? It’s dayti there, and night here for ."
"Alright, I want to return to Huaxia, hoping for Master’s approval." Charlotte’s voice suddenly beca serious, switching tones faster than Lin Tian could manage.
Lin Tian scratched his brow helplessly and said grumpily, "If you want to return to Huaxia, can I stop you? You always co and go as you please." Just like last ti, appearing suddenly, beyond surprise or shock.
"Is Master angry?" Charlotte asked cautiously.
"I’m not angry, just give a heads up when you co to Huaxia next ti. Your identity is too special; once exposed, it could be very dangerous." Lin Tian said helplessly.
The other end of the phone was silent for a mont, then a voice said: "Is Master concerned about ?"
"You can think of it that way." Lin Tian’s tone was flat.
Pausing, Lin Tian put away his thoughts and said seriously, "Co back, I know the reason, is it for the Eye of the Creator?"
Charlotte was stunned for a mont because his tone was obviously different: "Yes, Master, recently, the Blood Clan Alliance has been unstable, with so Blood Clan leaders harboring thoughts of resurrecting the Thirteen Blood Hosts. It should be the Thirteen Blood Hosts subconsciously influencing the Blood Clan’s ideology. I must beco stronger to prevent their resurrection, or else the Blood Clan would face utter destruction."
"The Blood Clan is, after all, the bloodline left by Ancestor Cain, and as a direct descendant, it’s my responsibility to prevent the destruction of our lineage." Rarely had Charlotte been so serious in front of Lin Tian, without that wanton deanor.
Such ambition and spirit were what a Princess should have. Before eting Lin Tian, she had been such a woman; everything changed after encountering him.
"I’ll help you obtain the Eye of the Creator, and I’ll also get the remaining one. When the three combine, the Eye of the Creator will restore to its most powerful state." Lin Tian stated firmly.
"Thank you, Master, I can’t wait to see you. But first, Master, you should rest, I’ll wait patiently." Charlotte returned to her obedient form again, thoughtfully reminding Lin Tian to rest.
Lin Tian shook his head, unable to keep up with the pace. The two Charlottes in his mind kept switching: one high and mighty Princess, the other a listening maid, nearly making him schizophrenic.
After hanging up, Lin Tian looked at Xiao Manxuan. The little girl blinked curiously: "Isn’t the Eye of the Creator just a black diamond? Why does it sound different from what I knew?"
Lin Tian shook his head and said solemnly, "In the eyes of the world, the Eye of the Creator is just a black diamond, but for those with abilities, it’s a gemstone containing the power of a curse, especially people like Secret Master Yasuo and the evil Onmyoji, who love such gems..."
"Secret Master Yasuo?" Lin Tian suddenly stopped, frowning and muttering to himself.
"What’s wrong?" Xiao Manxuan asked with concern when she saw Lin Tian’s furrowed brows.
Lin Tian looked at Xiao Manxuan, his expression serious: "Xuanxuan, rember this: the Eye of the Creator, like Zhang Lingyu’s talisman, possesses mana, but it’s more powerful than a talisman. Its appearance will likely attract coveting parties, leading to incidents. At the jewelry exhibition, you must stay away from it to avoid accidents."
"If it’s so dangerous, why don’t we tell my sister to refuse the Eye of the Creator from exhibiting?" Xiao Manxuan asked, worry etched on her beautiful face.
"No, the jewelry exhibition has gained huge montum, and news about the Eye of the Creator’s participation has already been publicized. Suddenly withdrawing it would deal a severe blow to Tianxue Jewelry’s image and reputation, and it would also implicate allies like the Yun Family and the Ou family."
"Besides, even if we announce its withdrawal, those coveting parties wouldn’t abandon their curiosity; they’d still want to investigate. The matter has already occurred; avoidance isn’t a solution." Lin Tian shook his head, disagreeing.
"What should we do, then?" Xiao Manxuan asked worriedly.
Lin Tian smiled and said, "Don’t worry, this ti the Yun Family is one of the hosts. Aunt Wang should be expected to sit in personally. Would you believe Aunt Wang has already beco a mid-Innate expert, standing equal to Master Tang? With Aunt Wang present, ordinary ability users wouldn’t dare cause trouble."
"Wow, Aunt Wang has improved so fast, with her present, even Master Tang wouldn’t gain an advantage." Xiao Manxuan had great confidence in Lin Tian, her face showing relief.
Lin Tian reached out to pat her head and said with a smile, "Since that’s the case, be a good girl and go to sleep. It’s young people like you who are still growing; staying up late is bad."
He looked at her figure seriously, pretending to remind her generously.
Xiao Manxuan slapped his hand away, playfully retorting: "Hmph, you pervert, I won’t talk to you anymore." Then she stood up and returned to the bedroom, muttering to herself as she walked: "Does it really affect? How can I be like Mom?"
Her mutterings fell into Lin Tian’s ears, nearly knocking him over with surprise. But thinking of Mrs. Xiao’s excellent genes, the Miss and Second Miss shouldn’t turn out too bad, right?
Damn, I get wicked thoughts again, Lin Tian strongly chastised himself for three seconds, then turned off the TV and headed to the bedroom.
He bathed, practiced cultivation, and refined the Crescent Blade every night. Now, having learned from Xu Feibai that the beast skin Cultivation Technique is an ancient technique, Lin Tian could not slack off in training anymore.
Xu Feibai drank Jiang Chen’s Blood as if it were a drink, gaining strength rapidly. Lin Tian didn’t have such benefits and could only rely on diligent study, or he might get surpassed by Xu Feibai one day.
