Originally, Lin Shiyin subconsciously wanted to dodge, but when she saw that the other person was Lin Long, who she was extremely familiar with and had a slight liking for, she could not help but be startled, which allowed Lin Long to easily grab her hand.
This kind of ease made other people think that Lin Shiyin voluntarily allowed Lin Long to grab her hand.
Of course, if she was careless and was grabbed by Lin Long, she could just shake him off in time. But the problem was, after being grabbed by Lin Long, Lin Shiyin did not seem to have any intention of shaking him off.
Lin Shiyin subconsciously wanted to break free, but she suddenly felt that the feeling of being grabbed by the other person was very strange.
"Who are you, what do you want?" Liu Jingtong, who had already stopped, shouted angrily with a face as black as ink.
He had just announced that he was going to be engaged to Lin Shiyin, and now this person was holding Lin Shiyin's hand in front of everyone. How could he not be angry?
"My surname is Lin, first name Lin Long, from the Zi Yang School, now a disciple of Teacher Kong Zhi." Lin Long said indifferently.
"I don't care what Zi Yang School you are, I don't care which teacher you are a disciple of, get out of here immediately!" Liu Jingtong roared.
He had originally thought that Lin Long was from some big power, but seeing that Lin Long was only from some unknown Zi Yang School and was only a disciple of Teacher Kong Zhi, he naturally did not care about Lin Long.
"Miss Lin and I are in love. If you want me to leave, I can. But Miss Lin won't stay here anymore." Lin Long still says in an indifferent manner.
"You and Lin Shiyin are in love? What a joke, she is already my fiancée! Now, I'll give you a few breaths' time, get out of here immediately! "Liu Jingtong was so angry that his body was trembling.
At this moment, Lin Shiyin's father, Lin Wei, a middle-aged man with a dignified face, said in a deep voice from behind Lin Long and Lin Shiyin, "Shiyin, quickly let go of your hand!"
Lin Wei's voice was not loud, but it undoubtedly expressed the Lin family's position, proving that Lin Long was only a person who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, proving that Liu Jingtong's words about the engagement were true.
Lin Shiyin's face flushed red. She felt that this wasn't very good. She originally wanted to secretly withdraw her hand, but Lin Long's grip was too tight. Now that she heard her father's question, she hurriedly pulled her hand back.
Who would have thought that Linlong would grip her hand even tighter at this moment, making it impossible for her to break free easily.
Right afterwards, Lin Long smiles at Liu Jingtong and says, "You're right, Young Master Liu. Status and whatnot really have nothing to do with each other. What's important is that Miss Lin and I are truly in love with each other."
At this point, Lin Long suddenly turns his face towards the somewhat bewildered Lin Shiyin and says, "Miss Lin, don't you think so?"
Hearing Linlong's question, everyone quietened down and focused their gazes on Lin Shiyin. They wanted to know what she would say and whether things were really as Linlong had said.
Even Liu Jingtong quietened down.
Lin Shiyin, who was at a loss, calmed down a little when she heard Linlong's question.
According to her father's idea, she would be engaged to Liu Jingtong and marry him two years later. But she didn't like Liu Jingtong at all!
Even though there was nothing between her and Young Master Lin, if she went along with Young Master Liu's words, it was very likely that this kind of thing could be avoided.
Thinking of this, Lin Shiyin quickly raised her face and calmly says, "That's right, Young Master Lin Long and I are in love with each other. So I'm very sorry, Young Master Liu, let's cancel our engagement."
Hearing this, everyone present was in an uproar. They had originally thought that Lin Long, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, was just wishful thinking. Who would have thought that Lin Shiyin had already promised to marry him?
Liu Jingtong's face became incomparably ashen. He looked at his father and then at Lin Shiyin's father. He used his eyes to ask them what was going on. Didn't they already agree?
Lin Shiyin's father, Lin Wei's face was also incomparably ugly. He looked at his daughter and said in a deep voice, "Shiyin, don't mess around!"
Things had already come to this, how could Lin Shiyin still compromise? So, she turned around and looked at her father and said, "Father, your daughter isn't messing around. I just hope that you can help me!"
Lin Wei was so angry that he did not know what to say.
"Lin Long, why don't you take a look at your status? What is Shiyin's status? Do you think you're worthy of her? Don't think that just because you're Teacher Kong Zhi's disciple, don't think that you can be arrogant just because you're a third-class alchemist! With your status, you're nothing but trash in front of me! "How could Liu Jingtong be willing to give up on Lin Shiyin like this? So, he said coldly to Lin Long.
During this period of time, someone naturally secretly told this information about Lin Long to Liu Jingtong.
"Oh, could it be that Young Master Liu thinks that you're stronger than me?" Lin Long said. The corners of his mouth slightly curled up and there was a hint of a strange smile on his face.
Hearing what Lin Long said, Liu Jingtong immediately came up with a plan. He immediately said in a clear voice, "Since you're so confident, do you dare to compete with me in pill making? If I lose, I'll immediately cancel the engagement. If you lose, you'll immediately leave Tian Xing City and never come back."
Liu Jingtong had obtained the third-class alchemist qualification long ago so he did not take Lin Long seriously.
"Of course you can. As for the type of pill we'll compete in, since you're the master, Young Master Liu, you can decide." Lin Long said in an unconcerned manner.
Seeing that Lin Long was unexpectedly arrogant to such an extent, Liu Jingtong was both surprised and delighted.
He was surprised because Lin Long was so arrogant that he somewhat could not understand him. He was delighted because Lin Long actually let him decide.
It should be known that the Liu clan had a unique type of third-class pill. This type of pill was only circulated within a small area of Tian Xing City. He believed that Lin Long in front of him definitely had never seen this type of pill.
Moreover, this type of pill's concoction technique and process were extremely complicated. It was simply not comparable to ordinary third-class pills.
In the past, he used it to compete with an instructor of the Alchemist Alliance. Even though the instructor was very knowledgeable in the field of alchemy, he was not a match for Liu Jingtong, who was familiar with this type of pill making.
Once this type of pill was decided, this Lin Long would definitely not be able to compete with Liu Jingtong, who was extremely familiar with this type of pill making.
As soon as she heard Lin Long's words, Lin Shiyin, who was familiar with this type of pill making, hurriedly said, "Young Master Lin, you mustn't let him decide."
Lin Long, however, gave a slight smile and said, "It doesn't matter."
Lin Shiyin being so biased towards Lin Long made Liu Jingtong's expression even more unsightly. He was afraid that things would change if he delayed. He wished that the competition could start immediately.
Therefore, he immediately said, "Then let's compete in concocting a third-class Nine Revolutions Clear Heart Pill. What do you think, Lin Long?"
"Nine Revolutions Clear Heart Pill? Of course … "Seeing Liu Jingtong directly take out this Nine Revolutions Clear Heart Pill, how could Lin Long not understand what the other party was thinking? However, he simply did not care about it.
This was because in his previous life, many years later, this Nine Revolutions Clear Heart Pill had already become a type of pill that every Alchemist Alliance had to concoct because of its complicated concoction process.
Because of this, Lin Long could not be more familiar with this pill. The most important thing was that in his previous life, someone had already simplified the entire concoction process.
In other words, if Liu Jingtong wanted to compete with him, he was simply displaying his slight skill in front of an expert. How could he compare to him?
Of course, how could he tell the other party about this kind of thing? If the other party wanted to court disaster, he naturally could not be more than happy.
"Alright, then let's compete with this Nine Revolutions Clear Heart Pill!" Seeing Lin Long agree, a delighted expression immediately appeared on Liu Jingtong's face. Then, he impatiently said to his own servants, "Bring the tools and ingredients here!"
Very soon, 2 tables, 2 small cauldrons, as well as the ingredients and formula for concocting the Nine Revolutions Clear Heart Pill were brought out.
In the blink of an eye, what was originally a banquet had become a place to compete in concocting pills.
"In order to be fair, I'll give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to familiarize yourself with this formula, then we'll start the competition." Liu Jingtong, who already had victory in his hands, said this to show that he did not take any advantage.
Those who were familiar with the inside story naturally despised him in their hearts. However, because of the Liu clan's power, they did not dare to bring it up.
"No need." Lin Long said indifferently.
Seeing that Lin Long was so confident to the point of arrogance, Lin Shiyin, Cao Xiuqi and the others who were partial to Lin Long naturally became worried. However, since Lin Long had already said so, they could only look at him helplessly.
You're really arrogant. Perhaps you won't be able to be arrogant later. Liu Jingtong laughed coldly in his heart.
However, there was still a smile on his face. "Since that's the case, let's start the competition."
Afterwards, under everyone's gaze, a pill concocting competition began just like that.
Knowing that he would definitely win this competition, at the beginning, Liu Jingtong did not make his move immediately. Only after giving Lin Long a complacent look a few times did he begin to make his move. Even though he had to make his move, he was not in a hurry. Instead, his unhurried and unhurried manner made people think that he had the demeanor of a great general.
The reason why he was like this was naturally because he looked down on Lin Long's power. If a teacher from the Alchemist Alliance were to compete with him, how could he be so leisurely?
"No wonder you're the Liu clan's young master."
"No wonder you're Qin Yi's brilliant disciple!"
"This kind of performance, that Lin Long simply can't compare to you."
Indeed, this kind of performance immediately won everyone's praise.
Hearing such praise, Liu Jingtong felt even more complacent in his heart.
"Shiyin, open your eyes wide and watch carefully. How can this Lin Long compare to me?"
On one side, Liu Jingtong was so calm. On the other side, Lin Long still did not make his move.
Thinking that Lin Long was stumped by the complicated formula, Liu Jingtong was even more delighted in his heart.
"Look at how arrogant you are. Have you seen a ghost? Hahaha." Liu Jingtong laughed wildly in his heart.
If this was not the competition venue, he would definitely have laughed out loud.
The others also thought that Lin Long was stumped.
If he had known earlier, he would not have acted in the first place. Some people could not help shaking their heads.
Lin Shiyin, Cao Xiuqi and the others were naturally anxious. However, they could only be anxious helplessly. After all, they were not familiar with this pill. Moreover, this competition venue did not allow them to help Lin Long.
After they had been nervous for a while, Lin Long began to make his move.
