Half an hour later, Xiao Manxue and Lin Tian were already standing at the entrance of the Female College, but they weren't alone; the entrance was filled with students from both colleges.

Whether they were admirers or fans, whether male or female, they all came to see Lin Tian and Xiao Manxue off, especially those teammates who had fought side by side with them.

Besides them, Li Wenfeng, for some unknown reason, also came to see Lin Tian and Xiao Manxue off, accompanied by Yuwen Luofei.

"Cousin, Brother Lin Tian, I didn't expect you two to leave Holy Spirit Town so soon. Why not stay a few more days? Although we haven't spent much time together, these friends here are reluctant to see you go." Li Wenfeng said somewhat wistfully.

"There's no feast that doesn't end, and besides, you'll be graduating soon too, right? Once back in our country, we'll have opportunities to meet." Lin Tian responded with a light smile.

"Lin Tian, let's go." Xiao Manxue said decisively, not wanting to exchange more words with Li Wenfeng, and swiftly mounted the horse.

To be honest, Lin Tian also didn't like dealing with Li Wenfeng, who always called him "Brother Lin Tian" as if they were very close, which made him seem like a cunning person who might stab you in the back at any time.

Of course, what Lin Tian didn't know was that Li Wenfeng had already done exactly that, having secretly plotted against the Xiao Family before.

Lin Tian mounted the horse and waved goodbye to the teammates behind him, his gaze passing over their faces one by one. Perhaps this farewell would be forever, as there was probably no chance to return to Holy Spirit Town.

His gaze then swept over Yuwen Luofei and finally landed on Zhu Li. This girl, with half Huaxia blood, looked up and met Lin Tian's eyes, her deep gaze holding unspoken emotions, yet she couldn't say anything.

After all, they were people of two different worlds, like two intersecting lines that parted ways after a brief meeting, never to meet again.

Lin Tian rode his horse over to Zhu Li, her gaze shimmering, heart racing, holding onto a glimmer of hope—could he be staying?

What Lin Tian thought of this little girl was unknown; he took out a glass bottle from his pocket, handed it to Zhu Li, and said, "Zhu Li, here are two Shaoyang Pills. They are effective against dispelling evil energy, which should come in handy since you'll be fighting vampires often."

"Huaxia elixirs!" The surrounding people exclaimed in awe.

As cultivators, they naturally knew the magic and rarity of Huaxia elixirs, and when Lin Tian gifted two just like that, everyone's eyes were gleaming with excitement.

"This... this is too precious." Zhu Li was stunned for a moment and didn't reach out to take them.

Lin Tian leaned forward, took her hand, placed the elixirs in her palm, then stood up, waved his hand, and rode away. Zhu Li tightly gripped the glass bottle, watched Lin Tian's silhouette slowly fade into the distance, unable to say a word.

"You've been quite generous, giving away such valuable elixirs just like that." Xiao Manxue turned back to look at the approaching Lin Tian and smiled.

"That's about all I can do for her." Lin Tian said blandly.

"Is every woman just a passerby in your life?" Xiao Manxue asked with a strange tone.

"Life is but a fleeting hundred years, who's not a passerby in someone else's life? Unless life is eternal." Lin Tian smiled, then continued, "Let's not discuss such philosophical matters. By the way, why haven't I seen Secretary Xu these past few days?"

"I sent her back to Wudu to handle some affairs. Why? Just a few days and you miss her already?" Xiao Manxue glanced at him, amused.

Lin Tian didn't smile, and softly said, "I do miss her, Second Miss. I wonder how she's doing? Did your master's master find a way to treat her? Has anyone been bullying her?"

Xiao Manxue paused, then slightly shook her head and said, "The master and mentors are still trying to figure it out. That kind of energy is indeed strange, so much so that even they have no clue."

No way, huh? Lin Tian sighed inwardly. Even though he expected this outcome, he was still a bit disappointed. Judging from Tang Ziqing's strength, her sect shouldn't be small in the Ancient Martial World, but even such a sect hasn't seen this peculiar energy; in that case, no one in the Ancient Martial World probably recognizes it either.

Looks like I'll have to rely on myself, Lin Tian thought to himself, and then said, "Miss, I have something to tell you."

"What is it?" Xiao Manxue asked curiously.

"I need to stay in England for a while longer, so I won't be returning to the country with you." Lin Tian said.

"Why? Is it because of Rossi?" Xiao Manxue asked.

Lin Tian nodded and said, "Sort of. Once it's done, I'll return. Xikou City should be quiet for a while, so my absence shouldn't matter much."

Xiao Manxue turned her head to look at Lin Tian, a woman's intuition telling her that Lin Tian was hiding something, more than just about Rossi. What exactly was it?

But she didn't press further, just said, "Be careful."

"You too, although Charlotte won't cause trouble anymore, you should watch out for those Japanese ninjas. They've always been ruthless in their methods." Lin Tian reminded.

Xiao Manxue patted the wooden box on the horse's back, which contained the Hua Ying Sword, and confidently smiled, "I was never afraid of those brats before, and now with the Hua Ying Sword, even elite ninjas would be no match."

Seeing her speak so cheekily, Lin Tian couldn't help but laugh. The two of them quickly left Holy Spirit Town, riding away fast, leaving the small town and even the college tower disappearing from sight.

"Farewell, my hometown." Sword Spirit suddenly exclaimed with emotion.

Lin Tian was startled, very annoyed, and said, "Cut it out, can you at least give a heads-up before you speak? Besides, isn't all of England your hometown? You haven't even left England yet?"

"Just feeling a bit sentimental, got a problem with that?" Sword Spirit retorted, also annoyed.

"There's a saying on the internet that perfectly fits you now: 'only a shameless person would be so pretentious.'" Lin Tian countered.

"What's the internet? A fishing net? How can you find words on a fishing net?" Sword Spirit asked curiously.

Lin Tian let out a wail to the sky, then disdainfully said, "A fishing net, really? Why not call it pantyhose, computer networks, the Internet, understand?"

"I don't understand. I've been trapped for hundreds of years, and the knowledge I have now is just fragmented pieces from your mind, I don't know anything else. Teach me." Sword Spirit honestly replied.

"Call me 'master,' and I'll teach you." Lin Tian seized the opportunity to jest.

"Master, teach me quickly." Sword Spirit said without hesitation.

This guy yielding so easily almost made Lin Tian choke on his own saliva; he disdainfully said, "Still calling yourself 'Sword Spirit,' where's your dignity, your integrity?"

"In the face of knowledge, everything else is fleeting; I'm a humble learner." Sword Spirit said earnestly.
