If there was one person who remained calm, it was Lin Tian. He wasn't a true member of the Blood Clan, nor truly belonged to Sinmore, so he didn't care which clan, Sinmore or the Jimi Chi Clan, would win.

"Lin Tian, you don't seem very enthusiastic?" Asina glanced at Lin Tian and said lightly.

"Elder, as a commander, one must maintain a calm mind at all times." Lin Tian lied with a straight face.

"Very good, keep it up." Asina smiled faintly, took another look at Lin Tian, and was about to leave, but after taking two steps, she turned back and said, "Oh, I almost forgot to tell you something. You don't have to return to Langde anymore. The Prince has assigned you to me. From now on, you're mine."

The smile in her eyes seemed both a warning and a reminder. Lin Tian pretended not to understand and just nodded politely.

With Asina's departure, the atmosphere in the bar's hall calmed down as members of the Blood Clan gradually left. Soon, only Lin Tian, Luo Lin, and Reya were left in the hall.

The two walked up to Lin Tian, and Luo Lin said with some lingering fear, "Lin Tian, what you did just now was too dangerous. The elder could have killed you at any moment. Blood Clan may be proud, but in front of an elder, that pride must be put away."

Reya was somewhat amazed, "It was so thrilling, but also strange that the elder didn't get angry. Brother Tian, you don't know, but this hall has seen more than one Blood Clan member's blood spilled for defying the elder's will."

"So, I'm considered lucky," Lin Tian deliberately showed a thankful expression, surprised.

"Luck won't always favor you. Show respect to the elders in the future, or you might not live to see another day," Luo Lin warned seriously.

Reya turned to look at her, surprised, "Luo Lin, I've never seen you so concerned about a man. Do you like our Brother Tian?"

"My life, my everything, belongs entirely to Elder Asina," Luo Lin said coldly, with no expression, and turned to leave without even looking at Lin Tian.

Reya raised an eyebrow and said, "Just talking, no need to get angry. It's really baffling."

Lin Tian patted his shoulder and laughed, "Women's hearts are unpredictable like needles in the ocean. Why care? By the way, when are we setting off?"

"Set off?" Reya was startled, then slapped his head, "That Luo Lin, such an important thing and she didn't tell you. I don't know how she manages as a commander. We're leaving tomorrow night at ten, and we'll gather here in the hall."

"Alright, I got it," Lin Tian nodded and smiled, then also turned to leave.

Reya watched Lin Tian's departing figure and then looked at where Luo Lin had left, shook his head, and muttered to himself, "What's with this woman? She never used to be so absent-minded." Unable to figure it out, he too left.

After leaving, Lin Tian didn't return to his own room but knocked on Rossi's door.

"Brother Tian, how did it go?" Rossi welcomed Lin Tian in, closed the door, and asked softly.

"No need to be so cautious, no one is watching us." Lin Tian motioned him to relax and then said, "We're setting off tomorrow night."

"So soon?" Rossi asked in surprise.

"This is Asina's decision after returning from the Prince. You wouldn't believe it, but she actually made me an Earl," Lin Tian said with some amusement.

Rossi was momentarily surprised, then said, "An Earl is not worthy of Brother Tian."

"Whether it's worthy or not doesn't matter. Of course, I know that Asina's ennoblement of me isn't heartfelt; it's just because I still have value to her," Lin Tian said calmly.

"Could she already suspect us? After all, Brother Tian's abilities don't look like those of an ordinary wanderer," Rossi said with some concern.

"No matter what we do, there will be suspicion because we are not her trusted aides. She only trusts the Blood Clan she created. But as long as I still have value, she won't kill me," Lin Tian said confidently. In fact, there's another premise he didn't mention: his displayed strength couldn't make Asina feel he's beyond control.

If Asina ever feels she can't control a newcomer, there will be only one result: she will definitely join forces with other elders to eliminate him.

"We're setting off tomorrow. What about the two Blood Clan women in Brother Tian's room?" Rossi asked.

Lin Tian thought for a moment and said, "We definitely can't take them this time. If we encounter Charlotte in battle, we might not return to the Crown Bar. These two women have to stay here. They belong to Sinmore anyway. I'll talk to Luo Lin to ensure their safety."

If he leaves and "disappears" in this battle, Nasha and Nolan might be sent back to Langde, who is likely to kill them for failing their mission. Only by staying here can they possibly preserve their lives.

After explaining matters, Lin Tian returned to the dorm, where Nasha and Nolan served him as usual, changing his shoes and pouring tea.

"You two can stop, I have something to tell you." Lin Tian stopped their service and said calmly.

The two women stood respectfully in front of Lin Tian, waiting for his instructions. Lin Tian said straightforwardly, "I'm leaving Crown Bar tomorrow. You two stay. If I don't come back, remain here and don't go back to the castle."

"Mr. Lin is leaving?" The two women were shocked, saying with some panic, "Can't we follow Mr. Lin and always serve you?"

"You are also members of Sinmore and should know what we're going to do. If you follow without permission, the elder will kill you first," Lin Tian warned.

"But don't worry, I'll talk to Luo Lin. You'll be safe staying at the bar," Lin Tian added. After speaking, he ignored their reactions and returned to his room.

It wasn't that Lin Tian was heartless, but what he was about to do couldn't involve these two women; it wasn't his style. Also, he planned to leave after accomplishing his mission, and that was a matter of time.

Just as he returned to his room, Lin Tian felt an urge in his heart and looked towards the balcony outside. It was late at night, but a person, a woman, stood outside the window.

"Luo Lin, what are you doing? Coming to my room every night? If someone didn't know better, they'd think we were having an affair," Lin Tian joked.

"I'll leave after I say this. I forgot to tell you just now, we're gathering at ten tomorrow night in the hall. Bring your stuff, but those two female Blood Clan members can't go with you, or the elder will kill them," Luo Lin said directly.

"They don't have to come, but Rossi must go with me; he's my assistant. Otherwise, you must find me a Blood Clan member who can help me refine potions," Lin Tian insisted.
