Chapter 197 - Dissing
Chapter 197 Dissing
It was originally a meeting between the six families, but because of Lin Jiansheng’s participation, the atmosphere changed instantly.
Everyone was chatting enthusiastically with Lin Jiansheng about their past in the Divine Realm Academy. Xuanyuan Shen was a graduate of the Divine Eagle Academy. He did not have any past relationship with Lin Jiansheng, so he sat on the chair expressionlessly.
Yin Mingchong noticed Xuanyuan Shen’s displeasure, but he continued to drink his tea with a smile while quietly listening to those people talk about the past with Lin Jiansheng.
Suddenly, someone said, “Ah Sheng, you really did something big without saying anything!”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiansheng asked despite knowing the answer, “Oh? What do you mean?”
The person who spoke was the Clan Leader of the Garo Clan. The Garo Clan was rich, and their clan uniform was gorgeous and noble. When the shiny golden clan uniform was worn on the body of the Patriarch of the Garo Clan, from afar, it looked like Buddha had descended.
Patriarch Garo crossed his arms and placed them on his thighs. He chuckled and said, “A few days ago, I heard that the Divine Realm Academy recruited a female student with the potential of a Class S Super Beast. Not only has this girl awakened her beast state, but she’s also a Purifying Spirit Master. I heard that the girl called Yu Huang is your personal disciple!”
There was no need to explain when he was referring to. Everyone knew.
However, it was as if Lin Jiansheng’s brain had a screw loose. He deliberately acted dumb and asked, “Yu Feng is indeed my only personal disciple. However, how did everyone know about this?”
Lin Jiansheng had just shaved his beard yesterday, and today, a little stubble had appeared. He rubbed the stubble with his palm and asked curiously, “Did my disciple cause any trouble and it spread to everyone’s ears?”
The hall fell silent.
Although everyone did not speak, their gazes all landed on Xuanyuan Shen.
How did they know that Yu Feng was a Dual Cultivator?
Wasn’t that because Yu Feng defeated Xuanyuan Shen’s youngest son, Xuanyuan Jing, in front of more than seven thousand teachers and students in Divine Realm Academy!
But who would dare to explain it to Lin Jiansheng?
Whoever explained it would be humiliating Xuanyuan Shen.
No one spoke. The atmosphere was very tense.
On the other hand, Xuanyuan Shen laughed sinisterly. He stared at Lin Jiansheng without any warmth in his eyes and sneered. “Supremacy Lin, I only know that your attainments in Purifying Spirit techniques are high, but I didn’t know that you are also good at acting dumb!”
These words were full of provocation.
Upon hearing Xuanyuan Shen’s words, Lin Jiansheng suddenly laughed. “Hehe.” This laughter was filled with ill intentions. Lin Jiansheng raised his head and stared at Xuanyuan Shen, who was leaning towards him. He said, “No matter how skilled I am at playing dumb, I can’t beat Patriarch Xuanyuan’s teachings.”
“Although everyone loves beauty, Young Master Xuanyuan’s actions last year were a little too heartbreaking. My disciple’s appearance was ruined, so it’s not impossible for Young Master Xuanyuan to want to end the engagement with her. However, there’s no need for him to rush to the hospital to end the engagement with my disciple before my disciple is discharged from the hospital and making it difficult for my disciple to conduct herself.”
“I also want to ask Patriarch Xuanyuan how he taught his son to make Young Master Xuanyuan act like this! I often wonder, if Madam Xuanyuan was disfigured, would Patriarch Xuanyuan kick her out too?”
Bang!
Xuanyuan Shen slammed his fist on the coffee table beside him. He glared at Lin Jiansheng and growled, “Lin Jiansheng, don’t you slander
me!”
Lin Jiansheng remained seated and said calmly, “Patriarch Xuanyuan, why are you so angry? I am only making a reasonable speculation. Could it be that you are jealous of my disciple?”
Lin Jiansheng shook his head and clicked his tongue twice. He then said, “Young Master Xuanyuan is at the pinnacle of the late-stage of the Scholar Realm. He brought along an upperclassmen support-level Beast Tamer to assist him in the battle, yet he was still unable to defeat my disciple. This is called being incapable. Since he is incapable, you should find the reason on him. Why is there a need to get angry at me?”
“The Xuanyuan Clan’s Patriarch is the head of a clan. You should possess that sort of tolerance.”
Xuanyuan Shen was extremely angry. However, Lin Jiansheng had placed the label of ‘the Patriarch of a clan should be magnanimous’ on his head. If he were to flare up, it would instead seem like he was being petty.
“Supremacy Lin is indeed a literary student. His eloquence is really impressive.” The literary students who entered the Divine Realm Academy were all trash who had failed to awaken their beast form. Xuanyuan Shen started to snub Lin Jiansheng.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiansheng ignored Xuanyuan Shen. Instead, he turned to look at Yin Mingchong, who was seated at the head of the table, and said in an incredulous tone, “Patriarch Yin, the two guests are about to start a fight in your territory, but you actually sit by and do nothing. Isn’t this inappropriate?” Yin Mingchong was enjoying the drama when he was suddenly called out, and he almost couldn’t maintain his smile.
The other Patriarchs looked at Yin Mingchong with amused expressions as well.
What Yin Mingchong had established for himself was the image of ‘magnanimity, gentleness, and kindness’. According to his character, he should have stopped Xuanyuan Shen and Lin Jiansheng the moment they started fighting
However, he had watched them argue the entire time. His intentions were very obvious.
Yin Mingchong cursed Lin Jiansheng before saying, “Supremacy Lin is right.”
Yin Mingchong looked at Xuanyuan Shen and said with a broad smile, “Patriarch Xuanyuan, it’s a blessing that the red elm fruit has ripened today. Let’s put aside our grudges and disputes for now and wait for the red elm fruit to ripen.”
Xuanyuan Shen chuckled and retorted, “The person being scolded is not you, Patriarch Yin. You can naturally be magnanimous.”
Yin Mingchong’s smile froze slightly.
Xuanyuan Shen didn’t want to keep the peace. After being humiliated by Lin Jiansheng in public, he naturally didn’t want others to have a good time. Xuanyuan Shen suddenly looked at Madam Sheng and Lin Jiansheng and said, “I heard something else.”
Mrs Sheng frowned.
Lin Jiansheng’s smile remained, but he did not reply.
Even if no one answered, Xuanyuan Shen still continued. He said, “My son was seriously injured. When I went to the Divine Realm Academy to bring him home to recuperate, I heard something interesting in the academy.”
No one wanted to hear his interesting stories.
However, Xuanyuan Shen insisted.
“They said that there was an ambiguous relationship between the young master of the Sheng family and Supremacy Lin’s disciple. They were also seen pulling each other’s clothes in the dormitory…”
Sheng Xiao was Mrs. Sheng’s son, and her son was very outstanding. He thought that Mrs. Sheng did not want her son to be with an ugly girl from an ordinary family.
Xuanyuan Shen only mentioned the first half of the rumor on purpose to see how Mrs. Sheng would react.
Hearing that, everyone’s expression changed slightly. They all turned to look at Mrs. Sheng. The look on Mrs Sheng’s face changed. “Really?”
Xuanyuan Shen’s answer was rather amusing. “How would we know if it’s true or false? But I heard that the academy found out that someone had started a rumor. And the person who started it was a disciple of the Yin Clan called Yin Ya.”
After he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Shen grinned as he looked at Yin Mingchong and said, “I wonder how Patriarch Yin taught such a disciple that loves to stir up trouble?”
Yin Mingchong’s face trembled.
Damn Xuanyuan!
He had been humiliated by Lin Jiansheng, so he wanted to drag everyone down with him!
