Chapter 773: Chapter 770 Hidden Facts (Part 1)

"Of course, there are still several moves left. Haven’t I told you? A demon blade appeared in the shrine, and this Thousand Illusion Blade Technique was used by Demon Blade Muramasa. At that time, Muramasa could trigger the ’sword light’ within the blade technique, but unfortunately, since I don’t practice blade work nor am I a Sword Dao Ancient Martial Artist, the power of the blade technique was greatly reduced," Lin Tian said with regret.

Although he was a zombie, he greatly envied Sword Dao Ancient Martial Artists, who could wield the ’sword light’ to launch long-distance attacks with immense power and could fight with ease, decapitating an enemy before they could even approach.

Miss exclaimed in realization, "Your initial stance was full of momentum, and your blade technique profoundly mystical, but its strength did not match up. It turns out it was because it lacked the ’sword light.’ With it, the power of this blade technique would increase manifold."

"That’s exactly the point. When Demon Blade Muramasa first executed the Thousand Illusion Blade Technique, it truly was incredibly powerful, and even Shishen were killed in a single stroke. Blade techniques and swordsmanship share similarities. Miss, would you like to learn it?" Lin Tian praised the blade technique and then tempted Miss again.

"Are you trying to tempt me? There must be some condition," Miss said indifferently, her intelligence allowing her to quickly grasp Lin Tian’s intentions.

"What if I say I want... you..." Lin Tian smirked suggestively, his eyes lecherously scanning Miss’s exquisite figure and beautiful face.

Miss, seemingly unable to withstand Lin Tian’s blatant stare, blushed and her gaze wavered for a moment, but she quickly recovered.

She smiled slightly and said, "Lin Tian, I understand you quite well. When you looked at me just now, you might have appeared lascivious, but the depths of your eyes were clear, indicating that it wasn’t really your intention. Come on, what are your true conditions?"

"Ah, even such well-concealed virtues of mine have been discovered by you. I, this man, am like a beacon in the night; no matter how much I try to hide, I’m still recognized by others," Lin Tian boasted playfully.

Xiao Manxue was somewhat speechless. This scoundrel’s frivolousness had resurfaced, but having been acquainted with Lin Tian for a long time, she naturally knew how to handle his playfulness, simply smiling faintly and looking at him impassively.

Seeing Miss’s impervious demeanor, Lin Tian found himself at a loss and had to put away his lazy grin, speaking seriously, "Let me be clear beforehand. Once I say it, you mustn’t get agitated. Otherwise, I’d rather not say it at all, to save my breath."

Seeing Lin Tian similarly impervious, Miss also felt a maddening itch, as if a cat was scratching inside her, wanting to scratch the face of this dandy.

However, as a true Ancient Martial Artist, Xiao Manxue couldn’t resist the allure of profound Ancient Martial techniques, so she agreed, "Fine, as long as you speak properly, I will not get agitated. I’ll let you finish. Is that alright?"

"Then I’m going to say it. It’s about Second Miss," Lin Tian spoke his first sentence while watching for changes in Miss’s facial expression, noticing that her complexion indeed changed; the clever little girl had guessed what Lin Tian was about to say from just the beginning.

"Miss, as we agreed, listen to me to the end. Can you calm down?" Lin Tian reminded her.

"Go ahead, you ask. What I can tell, I will tell you, and what I cannot, better not ask," Miss said quietly, her expression turning slightly unpleasant.

Once the arrow is shot, there’s no turning back. Although the little girl looked displeased, Lin Tian still asked, "Why can’t Second Miss practice Ancient Martial Arts? If she learned Ancient Martial Arts, she would be better able to protect herself. You say the Ancient Martial World is too cruel and don’t want her to practice, but that reason is hardly tenable."

"Because even if Second Miss were to practice Ancient Martial Arts, but didn’t get involved in the matters of the Ancient Martial World and continued to happily live in our mundane world, it would still be good."

"With such a great talent, isn’t it somewhat cruel of you to stifle her gift?" Lin Tian’s last words were a bit harsh, but he couldn’t help but speak them out loud.

Maybe it really was too much, Xiao Manxue’s face turned somewhat grievous and sad, with mist forming in her eyes, seemingly on the verge of tears at any moment.

"No way, it was just a question. Why does the Miss react more intensely each time? What on earth is going on?" Lin Tian felt very strange.

Xiao Manxue took a deep breath, seemingly to calm the turmoil inside her, before she coldly said, "Just think of me as having killed her talent, I am a cruel person."

Lin Tian furrowed his brow, Miss was being stubborn and liked not to reason, and now it was even more extreme, even more unreasonable.

"Miss..." Lin Tian tried to call out to her again.

But she waved her hand impatiently and shouted loudly, "Don’t ask anymore, please, just don’t ask!"

The mist in her eyes thickened, tears swirling in her eyes, seemingly needing the support of the large tree behind her to stand firmly, her entire being becoming extremely fragile, completely different from her usual cold and domineering CEO demeanor.

When had the Miss ever been so vulnerable? Lin Tian couldn’t think of a time. This demeanor of hers indicated one thing: a big issue, a very big issue, and it was about the Second Miss.

Just thinking that it was about that spoiled and adorable girl, and it wasn’t something good, Lin Tian felt an inexplicable pain, then this pain rushed to his forehead, he became anxious and agitated.

Lin Tian sped up, suddenly rushing in front of the Miss, grabbed her shoulders, shook her body, and growled, "Is there something wrong with the Second Miss? You must explain to me today!"

At Lin Tian’s emotional reaction, the Miss was stunned for a moment, but now she couldn’t think too much, just shook her head repeatedly.

Seeing her like this, Lin Tian’s gaze turned cold, then he forcefully pressed her against the tree and said coldly, "Look into my eyes..."

Upon hearing this, the Miss instinctively raised her head and looked into Lin Tian’s eyes. In that instant, she saw a flash of blue lightning deep in both eyes, making her body shiver uncontrollably.

"Look into my eyes and speak..." Lin Tian’s gaze was very cold, his voice low, "Tell me, why won’t you let the Second Miss practice Ancient Martial? If you don’t tell me, right now, right here, I will strip your clothes off and take you on the spot!"

The tone was undeniable, colder and more domineering than hers at any time, and from Lin Tian’s eyes, Xiao Manxue could feel that Lin Tian was not joking, he dared to do what he said.

The way he was acting was completely different from his usual playful and unserious demeanor, it was as if being cold and domineering was his true nature. Just the thought of being stripped by Lin Tian in this small grove, and then that, made Xiao Manxue’s heart skip a beat or two, her face turning red.

The small grove was not far from the highway, and at the end of the highway was a residential area, in such a place being taken by Lin Tian, she dared not think further.

At this moment, Xiao Manxue completely forgot that she was a Sword Dao Ancient Martial Artist at the Postnatal Perfection Realm, with her mind in complete chaos under Lin Tian’s pressure.
