"Lin Tian, why are you daydreaming again? You've been zoning out a lot lately," Xiao Manxue turned her head to look at Lin Tian, whose eyes had gone blank, and asked curiously.

Lin Tian turned his head, blinked, and said, "It's because of that Sword Spirit, always making noise, so annoying."

Xiao Manxue shook her head helplessly and laughed, "The Sword Spirit is also a type of Spiritual Body. It's incredibly difficult to form a Sword Spirit. Now that you have the Sword Spirit of the Sword of the King, you still find it annoying? Others would dream of having it."

"Kid, you see? You see? This beauty knows her stuff. Is there anyone like me in heaven or earth?" the Sword Spirit said proudly, practically wagging its tail.

"Then I'll let you out, and you can go with her," Lin Tian said deliberately.

He thought the Sword Spirit would go along with it and say sure, but to his surprise, the Sword Spirit refused, "No, the girl's energy isn't suitable for me; it doesn't benefit either of us."

"Damn, you think I don't know your scheme? You're just after my energy, aren't you? How hypocritical," Lin Tian said with disdain and contempt.

"Even raising a lion requires feeding it meat every day, let alone me," the Sword Spirit said arrogantly.

"Comparing yourself to a beast, that's really something. Don't say you learned Chinese," Lin Tian said helplessly.

"You still haven't answered me, what is the internet?" the Sword Spirit's thoughts were quite erratic and jumped back to the previous question.

"I give up," Lin Tian felt defeated, having to explain something everyone understands, "The internet is..."

Mentioning "the internet," Lin Tian felt like he opened Pandora's box. The Sword Spirit's questions came one after another, making Lin Tian look up to the sky helplessly.

Xiao Manxue looked at Lin Tian's face of resignation and couldn't help but smile, thinking that finally, a Sword Spirit could best him.

Lin Tian explained the issues all the way, crossing the bridge unnoticeably. After returning the horse at the stable, Lin Tian drove the car that Secretary Xu had arranged towards Wudu at full speed.

By the time they returned to Wudu, it was almost noon. Secretary Xu had already arranged a dining place, but after eating, Miss also had to return, with a flight in the afternoon.

As the president of Xiao Group, she couldn't stay abroad all the time; the Xiao Family's foundation was in their homeland, and this trip was just the first step in exploring overseas markets.

"Lin Tian, Secretary Xu and I are heading back first, be careful by yourself out here," Xiao Manxue said very seriously before parting.

"Don't think about home," Xiao Manxue added inexplicably.

Lin Tian smiled and said, "I'll be thinking of Miss; if you dream of me at night, it means I'm dreaming of you."

"You, who told you to say that? I'm not talking to you anymore," Xiao Manxue blushed and said coquettishly as she really pulled Secretary Xu into the car.

But as the car drove away, she opened the window, looked back hard, and waved at Lin Tian with red eyes.

"Miss, I'll think of you every moment!" Lin Tian shouted in the direction of the departing car, completely ignoring the eyes around him.

"This rascal, so bad, makes people cry when they laugh and laugh when they cry," Xiao Manxue said in a tone of reproach.

Secretary Xu watched, eyes widened, thinking when did the boss ever show this girlish demeanor, especially for a man.

Only then did Xiao Manxue realize that her secretary was in the car too. She quickly shut the window, and said seriously, "Don't overthink, it's not for Lin Tian."

"President Xiao, I didn't hear anything," Secretary Xu said, suppressing her laughter.

...

The car went further away, merging into the traffic and finally disappearing. Lin Tian sighed slightly, sending off yet another woman, was his destiny to live lonely?

"Is solitary living still masculine? A hero needs beauty alongside, just like King Arthur back in the day..." the Sword Spirit chimed in again.

Lin Tian immediately interrupted it, "So, you're spying on my thoughts? Do you miss being punished?"

"You zoned out just now, which is why I unintentionally heard your thoughts. But from this, it shows you like that Miss Xiao; you wouldn't act like this with that little girl Zhu Li," the Sword Spirit said self-righteously with no trace of guilt.

"Like Miss? Lin Tian paused and then mocked himself, "Even I don't know."

"I say, Little Ya Sword Spirit, what grounds do you have to judge me? Your master, King Arthur, was a big flirt. Not only did he marry Guinevere as Queen, but he also had an affair with his half-sister Morgan, who even bore him a child. Am I wrong?" Lin Tian said.

The Sword Spirit stammered for a long time before saying, "Well, by today's secular standards, that's indeed a bit scandalous. But in the past, royal families often married close relatives to keep the bloodline pure. The ancient royal family's fervor and dedication toward bloodlines are something you wouldn't understand."

"I really don't get it, but it doesn't matter to me. Anyway, I'm going to take care of business now," Lin Tian took one last look into the distance, turned around, and walked back to the hotel.

"Are you trying to find the Sinmore Clan through that Blood Clan?" the Sword Spirit suddenly asked.

Lin Tian hesitated for a moment and asked, "You know about the Sinmore Bloodline?"

The Sword Spirit chuckled proudly, "Of course I know, but if you call me Grandpa, oh, no, call me King, I'll tell you."

"You want me to call you King? Dream on. Say it or don't, I can still find Sinmore through that butler," Lin Tian surely wouldn't call a silly Sword Spirit King; no one worth calling King has been born yet.

After saying that, Lin Tian kept walking to the hotel, showing no intent to press the Sword Spirit for more.

He wasn't in a hurry, but the Sword Spirit was. It clamored, "Fine, fine, I'll be magnanimous and tell you."

Lin Tian's eyes revealed a smile. He knew it, that chatterbox couldn't keep a secret, and the more he ignored it, the more it had to flaunt its knowledge.

"I didn't force you," Lin Tian said calmly.

"I'm magnanimous; won't stoop to your level," the Sword Spirit indulged itself in self-praise before saying, "About the Sinmore Clan, their history predates King Arthur by much."

"I can't recall the exact era, but from what I read in your mind, modern folks seem to call that era the Dark Age or sometimes Homer's Epic Era."

Lin Tian was stunned and interrupted, "Homer's Epic Era, isn't that the 9th century BC?"

The 9th century BC was even earlier than Emperor Qin Shi Huang's time; it leads back to the Western Zhou Dynasty. And what was the Western Zhou Dynasty? It was established by King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa, after overthrowing the Shang Dynasty with his father King Wen of Zhou. Anyone who's seen 'Investiture of the Gods' would be familiar with it.

The Sword Spirit said, "I don't know what the meaning of BC is; there was no such calendar at that time. But compared to other Blood Clans, Sinmore is historically the shortest one."
