Lin Tian looked up at the sky for a while to confirm Charlotte wouldn't return before he turned to retrieve the Crescent Blade. By now, the Crescent Blade had transformed significantly, changing from a bright crescent moon to a blood moon.

This was also Lin Tian's frustration; the Crescent Blade had changed color so much, but the Sword Control that Xu Feibai mentioned seemed far off.

Lin Tian adjusted his clothes, left the rooftop, and returned to the exhibition hall, where he saw Miss surrounded at the first display cabinet, in front of Tianxue Jewelry's showcase.

Among the people around her, Lin Tian spotted the Princess, along with many high-society ladies from England, who were eagerly inquiring about the glass-quality royal purple jade jewelry.

Xiao Manxue naturally engaged in conversation, answering the questions of these ladies and winning their praise. It had to be said that Miss was extraordinarily gifted in both business and Ancient Martial arts, discreetly promoting Tianxue Jewelry and establishing its brand.

People often dislike being sold things, especially these aristocrats from high society, but Miss's explanations seemed so natural, like spring rain soaking things silently overnight.

Unobtrusively yet touching, this could be seen from the smiles on the ladies' faces.

Miss truly lived up to her reputation; even when faced with the royal nobles, she remained at ease, neither arrogant nor servile, her graceful confidence captivating Lin Tian.

Lin Tian found a place to rest, watching Miss from afar for several dozen minutes until the ladies gradually dispersed. When everyone had left, Xiao Manxue seemed to sense something, turned around, and saw Lin Tian watching her intently.

Xiao Manxue felt a sweetness in her heart, and she unconsciously smiled as she walked over with Secretary Xu to sit across from Lin Tian.

"When did you come back?" Xiao Manxue asked, though she wanted to ask how long he'd been looking so intently, but was too shy to do so.

Lin Tian smiled, seemingly understanding her little thoughts, and said, "I've been watching you for an hour."

Xiao Manxue blushed, but still pretended to be serious, "I didn't ask you that, I asked when you came back? Didn't you just run out a moment ago?"

"Yes, I've already answered." Lin Tian replied with amusement, noticing her clenched fist tendency, he then earnestly said, "I just saw Charlotte."

"What!" Xiao Manxue exclaimed in surprise, almost standing up, but seeing all the foreign guests speaking softly around, she restrained herself.

Xiao Manxue lowered her voice, "How did she get in? We paid attention to all the other guests when we came in, there wasn't any sign of Charlotte."

Lin Tian chuckled and shook his head, "Maybe you didn't know, but the royal jewelry exhibit's biggest sponsor is Charlotte, perhaps she was in the hall a long time ago."

"Being the biggest sponsor..." Xiao Manxue was as surprised as Lin Tian, finally saying, "Has she already left? Did you finish what you needed to do?"

"She's gone, but the matter isn't finished yet." Lin Tian replied ambiguously, not mentioning the Eye of the Creator or Zhang Lingyu's information.

Xiao Manxue thought for a while, slightly disappointed, "The jewelry exhibit ends tonight, what's your plan?"

Lin Tian understood this as returning to Huaxia once the exhibit ends, and he shook his head, "Miss, once the exhibit ends you should go back first, I might need to stay in England a bit longer."

Xiao Manxue smiled slightly, "Who said I'm leaving once the exhibit ends, I'll also be staying in England for a while."

"Well... Miss doesn't need to stay just because of my matters, I can handle them myself." Although Lin Tian said not to stay, he was secretly pleased hearing she'd remain.

It was exactly like that saying, his mouth said no, but his heart was honest, Lin Tian thought to himself jokingly.

Xiao Manxue looked at Lin Tian with a half-smile, "I never said I'm staying for you."

"Oh, could it be Miss has her eye on some Duke, Earl, or Prince, and wants to stay to enjoy some good time?" Now it was Lin Tian's turn to be curious, Miss usually did things strictly for business during her trips, rarely taking the opportunity to explore.

This was because she was the pillar of the Xiao Family, always too busy, besides her mother and daughter of the Xiao Family, no one cared for them, so she continuously worked hard, never having time to relax while traveling.

But this time was different, with Miss's charm, perhaps some prince, or young duke has a fancy for her, inviting her to stay, which is entirely possible.

People say riding a white horse is a prince, and this was a real prince, not just a fairy tale, but reality.

Xiao Manxue looked at Lin Tian and asked, "If I'm invited, do you hope I go?"

"Of course you should go, why wouldn't you, that's a prince." Lin Tian said with certainty.

Xiao Manxue's face fell, "You..."

Lin Tian seemed not to notice her expression and continued, "Oh, right, don't go alone, make sure to bring me."

Xiao Manxue was stunned, not understanding, "Why bring you?"

"I've never had tea with a living prince, of course I want to go." Lin Tian said dramatically, but his eyes were watching Miss's face, smiling.

"Pfft..."

Xiao Manxue couldn't help but laugh, then she rolled her eyes at Lin Tian, "How can you say such things, don't let people hear you, as if we're so eager for a prince."

Miss's words were also amusing, Lin Tian teased, "Actually, it's because I'd be jealous."

"You... you bad guy, I'm not speaking to you anymore." Xiao Manxue blushed, pulled Secretary Xu, and ran out of the rest area.

Lin Tian shouted from afar, "Miss, you haven't told me what you're staying for? If you don't want to say now, I can come by your room tonight, then you can tell me slowly."

This couldn't have been more obvious a hint, Xiao Manxue stumbled, almost bumping into the barrier, once steady, she dared not linger, for plenty of people heard Lin Tian's call, it was too embarrassing, she almost wanted to hold him down and beat him, then stuff his mouth with a smelly sock.

"Young man, your oriental people are generally reserved and restrained, but you've shown me a passionate and uninhibited side of oriental people." An old foreigner spoke in stiff Mandarin to Lin Tian, clearly understanding what Lin Tian had said.

Lin Tian replied straightforwardly without modesty, "Thank you, we oriental people have many merits, if you visit Huaxia sometime, surely you'll fall in love with it."

"Huaxia is a mysterious country, quite wonderful, I like it very much." Though the foreigner's Mandarin was stiff, it made Lin Tian feel quite refreshed, as Huaxia's growing national strength increasingly earned expatriates the respect they deserved.
