Chapter 581: Chapter 578: Just an Illusion?

Lin Tian subconsciously looked towards Rossi, who was standing on the auction stage. However, he wasn’t looking at the jade nor at the people around him; instead, he was staring in the direction Charlotte had left.

Could it be that Rossi knew this Charlotte? A thought struck Lin Tian, and he walked towards Rossi.

As soon as Lin Tian approached, Rossi immediately came to his senses, turned around, and asked Lin Tian, "Brother Tian, they’ve taken the jade away. Do I need to follow?"

"You don’t need to worry about the work below. I have something else to ask you," Lin Tian said with a smile.

"If Brother Tian has any instructions, just let me know," Rossi said earnestly, thinking there was another task.

Lin Tian patted his shoulder, gesturing for him to relax, before he said, "It’s not a task, I really have something to ask you. That foreign blond woman from before, do you know her?"

Rossi didn’t answer immediately but furrowed his brows in thought for a while, before finally shaking his head and saying, "I don’t know her, no impression at all."

Don’t know her? Lin Tian was taken aback. Seeing Rossi frowning in thought, he had wondered if the two knew each other.

"Then why were you staring at Charlotte the entire time, as if you knew her? She couldn’t possibly be one of your relatives, could she?" Lin Tian voiced his confusion.

"Her name is Charlotte? Really no impression at all. I don’t know why I was looking at her either, it was a strange feeling, I can’t quite explain," Rossi said again, shaking his head and speaking with a puzzled face.

But then he added, "Brother Tian, you know my identity, it’s somewhat different from yours. We are usually of a familial nature. If Charlotte was my relative, she should share my identity. But I don’t feel any similar aura from her."

Lin Tian understood what Rossi meant, but there were too many people around to speak too clearly.

Zombies and vampires are different; zombies mostly keep to themselves, while vampires live in groups, even calling themselves the Blood Clan. Rossi was a vampire, so it was highly likely his relatives were also vampires.

If Charlotte was Rossi’s relative, she should also be a vampire. However, Rossi couldn’t sense the vampire aura on her.

Actually, it wasn’t just him. Lin Tian, being of a higher rank and with stronger sensing abilities, also couldn’t detect any vampire aura on Charlotte. If she wasn’t a vampire, then she had to be human.

"Brother Tian, perhaps it’s because it’s been so long since I’ve seen anyone from the same country, and so seeing Charlotte felt a bit strange," Rossi found a reason for himself, as that was the only way he could explain it.

"Maybe so. I know you have some worries in your heart, but I have too many things on my plate right now. Once everything is settled, I will go back to your homeland with you to resolve your matters," Lin Tian affirmed.

"Thank you, master... oh, no, thank you, Brother Tian. I will go out first, you can call on me at any time if there is anything," Rossi said with deep gratitude, glancing sincerely at Lin Tian. The slip of calling him ’master’ showed just how grateful he was in his heart.

"You may go," Lin Tian nodded.

As Rossi departed, Lin Tian was about to head upstairs when Shi Feifei stopped him in his tracks.

"Miss Shi Feifei, is there something you need from me?" Lin Tian took a closer look at the popular celebrity and asked.

Shi Feifei didn’t have a very good impression of Lin Tian, so she was somewhat displeased by his scrutinizing gaze, but she didn’t show it.

She said seriously, "You are a very strange person. Why did that foreign man call you ’master’ just now?"

Lin Tian almost forgot that Shi Feifei had excellent hearing. Fortunately, he hadn’t mentioned anything about vampires or zombies in his conversation with Rossi, or else things would have gotten complicated.

He spread his hands, saying with nonchalance, "Maybe you heard wrong. Besides, what others call me is none of your business, right? Miss Shi Feifei, is there anything else you need? If not, I am busy and must go."

Shi Feifei was a popular celebrity, usually surrounded by countless fans, many of whom even begged for her autograph. But Lin Tian’s indifferent tone upset her deeply.

Her face turned stern as she said discontentedly, "I came to remind you that if you attend an auction I host again, please keep quiet and don’t disturb my event."

"Is that all? I understand. Is there anything else?" Lin Tian asked, still unconcerned.

"You..." Shi Feifei was left speechless by Lin Tian’s attitude.

"Since there is nothing else, I’ll excuse myself. Goodbye!" Lin Tian waved his hand and walked upstairs.

Lin Tian truly did not care about the disruption during the auction, but he wondered if Shi Feifei, having been a celebrated star for so long, was a little too conceited. She had been so spoiled by others that she didn’t even show courtesy to the host of the auction.

Unbeknownst to Lin Tian, Shi Feifei did not even consider him an organizer. She was invited by Mrs. Xiao and Miss, and she only acknowledged Mrs. Xiao or Miss.

Upon reaching the second floor, as the big shots gradually left, Lin Tian hurried to where Miss was, relieved to find her still there.

"Lin Tian, it’s rare to see you in such a rush. Is something the matter?" Miss looked at him curiously and asked.

"Yes, Lin Tian, even if there’s something, you should eat first. It’s already dark outside," said Xiao Manxuan with concern.

She knew Lin Tian very well. He used to leave every dinner time, often missing meals, but what she didn’t know was that every time Lin Tian went out, it was for a significant event, and he had no time for food. Besides, as a zombie, missing a few meals wouldn’t starve him to death.

Zombies should be craving blood when hungry, but since Lin Tian practiced the Cultivation Technique on the animal hide, he didn’t experience an intense bloodlust.

"Of course, I’ll eat, but first, Mrs. Xiao and Miss, I wanted to ask if there’s a banquet after the auction," Lin Tian inquired.

Miss nodded, replying, "Yes, there is a banquet, but why do you ask? I remember you’ve never liked such events."

"Lin Tian, just tell us what you’re thinking," Mrs. Xiao said.

"Oh, it’s like this. Could you find a way to keep the Bai Family and the Futian Family at the banquet without leaving? That’s possible, right?" Lin Tian secretly signaled Miss, suggesting his plan.

Miss understood Lin Tian’s scheme, knowing what he intended to convey, but the plan had yet to succeed.

"Don’t worry, as long as I turn the reception into a charity event, these big shots won’t possibly leave early. Otherwise, people will think they are stingy and unwilling to donate even a little money," Miss assured.

"Good, just be careful at the banquet. All three of you are beautiful women, so beware of being harassed by those playboys," said Lin Tian, now relaxed and jokingly.

Mrs. Xiao, openly flirted with by Lin Tian, felt utterly helpless—Lin Tian was becoming bolder by the day.

Xiao Manxuan, however, glared and huffed, "Let’s see who dares. My Little Zi is not vegetarian. That Sun Decai is their example!"
