Chapter 1002: Composed and Unhurried
Miaoqiu and Lin Tian had a romantic relationship. Yaqin naturally tied him to the big ship of the Xu Family.
Regarding this, Lin Tian could only acquiesce, after all, the young lady already slept with him.
At this moment, a girl with a ponytail quickly walked over and said, "Sister Yaqin, those people from the prominent families are here again. But this time, they’re not nobodies. There are a few elderly people I’ve never seen before, and I hear they’re Golden Core masters."
The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old and had only heard about Golden Core masters. Now suddenly seeing so many, her tone was a bit excited.
"Hehe." Yaqin glanced at Lin Tian and smiled, "Everyone knows you’ve just recovered from a serious illness. Want to meet them? If not, just send them away."
Lin Tian asked, "Are those Golden Core masters so easy to send away?"
"Under your name, isn’t that enough? In the entire ancient martial arts family circle, your weight is the heaviest. Who wouldn’t act according to your face?"
Lin Tian shook his head with a wry smile, "Then forget it."
"Don’t forget it. I’ve dealt with those people for over ten years. Do I not know what they’re like? You should put on airs when needed, don’t be polite!"
Lin Tian asked, "Then tell me, how should I put on airs?"
"Let them wait first, talk after lunch."
Lin Tian smiled and nodded, "Okay, let’s do as you say."
Yaqin tilted her head to look at the girl, squinted and smiled, "Mi’Er, did you hear? Let those people wait."
Mi’Er opened her big watery eyes in astonishment, "But there are Golden Core masters. Let them wait?"
In the eyes of the world, Golden Core masters are untouchable, like figures at the top of the pyramid. But Lin Tian didn’t think they were special, and said expressionlessly, "No problem, let them wait. If they get impatient, they can leave directly."
Mi’Er knew this matter was set in stone and had to nod sheepishly, quietly said okay and went to reply.
This girl is still bewildered, such a big matter, how should she explain to those Golden Core seniors?
Lin Tian watched Mi’Er’s retreating figure, not knowing what he thought of, he suddenly started laughing foolishly.
Yaqin waved her hand in front of Lin Tian, teasingly said, "She’s gone far, still watching? You men, none of you are good things."
Yaqin and Lin Tian are old acquaintances, so there’s no need to be so polite in speaking, jokes are still okay.
Lin Tian withdrew his gaze, and said with a smile, "Your large Xu Family, the women mostly know charm technique, all with enchanting eyes, making it hard to tear one’s gaze away. Yet, I didn’t expect such a cute girl."
Like a child unaware of the world, innocent yet full, especially her rosy face, like a ripe peach, making one want to take a bite.
"Smitten?" Yaqin laughed, "Although my Xu Family’s women can lure men, we’re also picky. First must be good looks, then talent, and finally capability. You... barely meet the criteria. But now you have Miaoqiu, you dare to have ideas about Mi’Er, beware of being castrated!"
Joking aside, Lin Tian naturally didn’t mind, beauties are for men to admire, looking more is instinct.
...
In a blink, it was already one-thirty in the afternoon.
In the Xu Family’s reception hall, the antique tea table was full of people, roughly counting, there were about twenty in total. These were representatives of various prominent families.
Interestingly, everyone here wasn’t young, over seventy, seemed like an elderly entertainment center.
This morning, each prominent family got the news. Lin Tian had woken up and had a romantic affair with the young lady of the Xu Family.
Upon hearing this, some people cursed, saying the beauty trap was used by the Xu Family first, truly benefitting from proximity.
According to reliable information, Lin Tian had several Hongyan confidantes, each exceptionally beautiful and unique, so his womanizer persona was established.
To curry favor, various families also prepared the best of the best. If Lin Tian took a liking to one, the benefits naturally need not be mentioned.
But the Xu Family using the beauty trap was something else.
Xu Miaoxiu was a renowned beauty among the twelve families and even in Kanyue City, combined with her Charming Skill cultivated since childhood, what woman could compare to her? Those ordinary women naturally couldn’t catch Lin Tian’s eye.
Thus, before the beauty trap was even used, it was stalled.
Afterwards, Lin Tian regretted deeply, for losing a garden for one dazzling rose.
...
Yaqin brought Lin Tian to the reception hall door, Nanqiu followed silently behind Lin Tian.
She recognized Lin Tian as her master, Martial Sect and Wu Hong as her senior brothers. During Lin Tian’s comatose days, Nanqiu also learned some things from the Sixth Elder Wu Hong, simple yet practical things she didn’t know before.
Even now, her understanding of the Celestial Dragon Continent’s civilization was still at a confused stage, truly vast and profound, a lifetime may not explore it all.
If H Country is a rushing river, then Celestial Dragon Continent is the ocean, vast and boundless, accommodating all rivers.
Lin Tian also gave her advice: look, listen and ask more, speak less.
This also aligns with her action principles, beside General Jin for so many years, taking orders as duty, naturally speaking less.
When reaching the reception hall door, Yaqin suddenly stopped, turned back and said, "We’ve let these people wait for so long, probably long impatient, but no problem, once inside, act as arrogant as usual."
Lin Tian smiled and said, "Am I usually arrogant?"
"You with that innocent smile causes no harm, but aren’t your actions sometimes shocking? Alright, let’s go in."
Pushed open the heavy door, stepped over the threshold, walking in, first smelled a light tea scent, refreshing and clear.
All present were honored guests, serving premium tea was appropriate, yet most of the tea in the cups still wasn’t drunk.
Lin Tian scanned around, noticed the seated old men, all appearing calm and composed. Upon seeing Lin Tian, they didn’t greet, they had airs too.
Lin Tian sneered inwardly, this group of old guys was quite adept at pretending. During seclusion, they could sit there for over ten years, but now because of some pills, they got impatient waiting for a few hours. Truly calm and composed wouldn’t be so restless.
Since it’s a reception hall, naturally there are main and guest seats.
At the moment the main seat was empty, Lin Tian naturally wasn’t polite, sat down, crossed his legs, picked up the still warm teacup, first sniffed then sipped, finally softly said, "Good tea!"
This is what you call calm and composed!
Yaqin squinted with repeated eye rolls by the side, this guy, was much more arrogant and pretentious than she imagined.
