…
Yanyang City was brightly lit that night.
It was five in the morning, and the rooster had just crowed. The young talents who had indulged themselves for the night were dressed neatly, carrying lanterns as they walked out of their respective inns in high spirits.
There were even more who had come from the brothel.
Lin Zhi was one of those who had walked out of the brothel. Upon closer inspection, one could see that there was a faint red mark on his neck.
Obviously, this was a debt from last night's debauchery.
However, this did not affect his spirits.
Lin Zhi was in high spirits as he led the group of fair-weather friends from last night to the city gates to meet up with the Lin family who had come to Yanyang City.
As soon as they stood there, they formed their own faction and attracted the attention of many people.
"Are these people from the Lin family?"
Someone secretly sized up Lin Zhi's group and said, "That fellow who is said to be unworthy of First Lady Su must be from here …"
When someone heard this, he could not help but say, "Hey, that's all in the past. That Lin Tian and his father, the previous patriarch of the Lin family, have long been chased out of the Lin family. They're just stray dogs now."
"What right do you think such a person has to be mentioned in the same breath as First Lady Su?" In my opinion, that fellow is just playing to the gallery. "
Hearing this, the person who had spoken earlier nodded in agreement and laughed, "I also heard that this Lin Tian has a bet with the third elder of the Lin family. He said that he can cultivate from nothing to level-seven of Qi-gathering in a month and successfully enter the Flaming Sun College. What a joke …"
"I think this fellow is just asking to be humiliated."
Someone mocked.
Someone else said playfully, "Who cares about him? Let's just watch the show today. I also want to see what a genius who can cultivate from nothing to level-seven of Qi-gathering in a month looks like."
"Hahaha, this friend is right. I also want to see such a peerless genius."
The crowd roared with laughter as they discussed the interesting stories they had heard in Yanyang City.
"It seems that expelling Lin Tian from the family is a very clear matter. Otherwise, our Lin family would have become a laughing stock today."
The First Elder, who had led the group here, stroked his white beard and said with a faint smile, "Don't worry.
The Third Elder also nodded at the side and sneered, "This brat really doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Not only did he make a bet with me that he would definitely lose, he actually dared to say such ridiculous words in public for his own selfish reasons. Isn't this just asking to be humiliated?"
"Grandpa, I think that after we win the bet, we should not only cripple Lin Tian's arms according to the bet, but also take him to the Su Family as an apology. With this, we can restore the relationship between our Lin Family and the Su Family. After all, with Miss Su's current momentum, she will definitely be a great figure in the future. Our Lin Family must not become enemies with her."
Lin Zhi said with a sinister look. His intentions were sinister.
However, the First Elder and the Third Elder didn't object. They looked at each other and laughed.
This was a good plan!
"When the time comes, you take Lin Tian and leave. I will hold back Lin Longxiao."
"Alright, no problem."
The First Elder and the Third Elder's words seemed to have decided Lin Tian's fate.
Seeing that the two of them agreed with his idea, Lin Zhi's eyes flashed with a sinister light. He laughed coldly in his heart, "Hehe, Lin Tian, you almost destroyed me last time. This time, I will make you suffer a fate worse than death."
"I believe that the Su Family Head, who has always been narrow-minded, will be very willing to torture you …"
Dang!!!
Just as Lin Zhi was fantasizing about Lin Tian falling into the hands of the Su Family and how he would be tortured, the bell on the city gate tower rang.
Following which, the east gate was slowly pushed open.
"Let's go!"
Seeing this, the crowd scrambled to rush outside.
During the Fall Quarter Examinations, the Flaming Sun County's influential people were allocated seats. However, the majority of them didn't have a seat of their own.
Whether they could get a seat or not depended on the status of their family members in the Flaming Sun School.
Just like the Wang Family of Yunyang City, although they also had family members studying in the Flaming Sun School, their status was mediocre.
Hence, they didn't have a fixed seat.
Because of Lin Ao and Old Man Su, the Lin Family had always had a seat of their own.
Hence, the Lin Family's group walked slowly, letting others go first.
Seeing the crowd in a hurry, the Lin Family members couldn't hide the smiles on their faces. Even the way they walked revealed their intention to show off.
Those who passed by the Lin Family and those who rushed to grab a seat all had looks of envy in their eyes.
This made the Lin Family's vanity satisfied like never before.
Especially the First Elder, who couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Along the way, he had heard a lot of compliments.
It couldn't be helped. Who asked Lin Ao to be so famous now?
Even if he couldn't compare to the eldest daughter of the Su Family, he was definitely one of the top figures in the Flaming Sun County.
It wouldn't be long before he entered the dynasty's Heaven's Pride Roll.
For such a person, ordinary powers would naturally try to befriend him. Even if they couldn't, it would be good to gain some good karma.
"That's right, Zhi 'er, Lin Tian won't not come, right?"
As they approached the Flaming Sun School, the Third Elder suddenly thought of something and asked worriedly.
If Lin Tian really didn't come, even with the Tendo Oath, he couldn't do anything about it.
After all, if he was willing to pay the price of breaking the oath, he couldn't stop him.
"Grandfather, don't worry. I saw him yesterday. Such an arrogant guy definitely won't be absent."
Lin Zhi said confidently.
Hearing this, the Third Elder nodded and relaxed.
From the start to the end, the two of them didn't think about what would happen if they lost the bet.
Under the guidance of the Flaming Sun School's disciples, the Lin Family members were led to their designated seats. The sky gradually brightened.
At this moment, two familiar figures appeared in front of the Lin Family.
"Lin Longxiao, why are you here alone? Where's Lin Tian?" The Third Elder glanced at Lin Longxiao, who was accompanied by Lin Muyu, and asked sarcastically, "Don't tell me he ran away without a fight?"
"Tian 'er, he will come. This isn't something you need to worry about."
Lin Longxiao's face was cold as he looked at the Third Elder and said indifferently, "I think you should think about how to call yourself trash in front of so many people later."
Lin Longxiao didn't believe that a miracle would happen today.
But according to Lin Muyu's words, he couldn't lose his momentum in front of outsiders.
Moreover, he had completely fallen out with the Lin Family.
If he wanted to plead with the Third Elder to let Lin Tian go, it would be a fantasy.
Since this was the case, Lin Longxiao naturally didn't have any more misgivings. He would say what he wanted to say.
Faced with Lin Longxiao's words, the Third Elder didn't get angry. He only laughed sarcastically and said slowly, "What a daydream!"
"Ha …"
Lin Longxiao couldn't be bothered with him. Not far from the Lin Family, he and Lin Muyu found two seats to sit down and waited nervously.
