Along the way, Lin Tianci and Lin Xia saw quite a few hurried figures.

Clearly, they were all rushing to take part in today's Family Grand Competition.

Compared to them, Lin Tianci and Lin Xia's unhurried pace seemed rather unusual.

Lin Tianci did not care much. After all, the outcome of this Clan Competition held no suspense for him whatsoever.

Lin Xia, on the other hand, was affected by the hurried atmosphere and grew somewhat nervous.

She lightly tugged on Lin Tianci's sleeve and said, "Ge, hurry up. Look how fast they're moving. The Trial Hall must already be full by now."

"Xia, have you ever heard a saying?" Lin Tianci continued walking at an unhurried pace.

"What?" Lin Xia was anxious, but Lin Tianci was moving far too slowly, so she could only obediently follow behind him before asking.

"Even if you get there first, it won't affect the outcome of the Clan Competition in any way," Lin Tianci said.

"Ge, that's easy for you to say. You have confidence, but I don't." Lin Xia pouted. "I heard Lin Dong and Lin Hong both have their own trump cards. I just wanted to get there early and ask around."

"They're only in the Body Tempering Stage. What trump cards could they possibly have?" Lin Tianci waved a hand, clearly not taking it to heart.

By the time the two arrived at the Trial Hall for the Clan Competition, the atmosphere there was already extremely lively. A glance revealed a sea of people.

Although the Lin Family was not the strongest force in Qingyang Town, it was still among the notable ones. Therefore, at such an important occasion as the Lin Family's Clan Competition, quite a few distinguished guests from Qingyang Town had come to observe.

First, they naturally wanted to curry favor with the Lin Family or use the opportunity to establish closer ties with them. Second, they wanted to see the current strength of the Lin Family's younger generation.

The older generation was the backbone of a family, while the younger generation was its fresh blood. Whether the younger generation was strong or weak was closely tied to the family's future development.

"Our Lin Family hasn't been this lively in a long time, has it?" This was the first time Lin Tianci had seen such a scene in the Lin Family since arriving in this world, and he could not help speaking up.

"Mm." Lin Xia nodded as well. "The last time it was this lively was when Grandpa celebrated his birthday."

Amid the crowd, Lin Tianci spotted Qing Tan at a glance.

After all, whether in appearance or temperament, Qing Tan stood out from the crowd like a crane among chickens. It was difficult not to notice her.

At that moment, Qing Tan happened to see Lin Tianci as well.

Their gazes met, and Qing Tan's cheeks immediately reddened. Her eyes darted away as though shocked by electricity.

A smile appeared on Lin Tianci's lips. However, before he could walk over, a voice from the front called out to him.

"Tianci, come sit over here with me." Lin Zhentian looked at Lin Tianci.

At once, the looks many juniors gave Lin Tianci changed, becoming exceptionally envious.

This was the first time Lin Zhentian had shown such concern for a junior.

"Are you calling me?" Lin Tianci was somewhat puzzled, as though suspecting he had misheard.

"Come over, Tianci. I'm calling you," Lin Zhentian said with a smile and a nod.

"Lin Tianci?" The few distinguished guests seated beside Lin Zhentian exchanged looks, confusion in their eyes.

As the eldest among the Lin Family's younger generation, they had naturally heard of Lin Tianci.

Compared to his handsome face, what Lin Tianci was better known for was his talent.

He had cultivated for a full three or four years before barely reaching the Body Tempering Fourth Layer.

Meanwhile, some of his peers who had cultivated for the same amount of time and possessed stronger talent had already reached the Body Tempering Eighth Layer!

That was precisely why these guests were confused.

In their view, even if Lin Zhentian wanted to call someone over, it should have been a talented junior like Lin Xia or Lin Hong.

After Lin Tianci came to Lin Zhentian's side, Lin Zhentian took his arm and introduced him to the several distinguished guests beside him.

Lin Tianci greeted them with considerable politeness.

The distinguished guests exchanged pleasantries with Lin Tianci, but inwardly, they only grew more puzzled.

Lin Zhentian had built such a powerful family in Qingyang Town through his own efforts back then, so his ability to read people and situations went without saying.

At this moment, he naturally understood what these guests were thinking.

Thus, he did not keep them guessing and instead explained.

"My eldest grandson is no exaggeration the person I have misjudged the most in my entire life."

Everyone was startled, yet they grew even more curious.

"Tianci could be considered someone who broke through only after being broken. During the Minor test a few days ago, he took just one day to raise his Throughback Fist from the First Ring to the Ninth Ring." Lin Zhentian's casual words made the several distinguished guests beside him widen their eyes.

They then looked at Lin Tianci in disbelief.

What greeted them was naturally Lin Tianci's polite smile.

A stormy sea churned within their hearts.

Did such terrifying talent truly exist?

If Lin Zhentian had not always been so serious in his words and actions, they would probably have taken this as a joke!

"Tianci's talent is truly rather terrifying."

"Silent until he achieved an Astonishing Feat!"

After recovering, the several distinguished guests all praised him.

Their determination to befriend the Lin Family also grew even firmer.

With a descendant possessing such terrifying talent, the Lin Family would likely usher in a period of glory!

Lin Dong, Lin Hong, and the others were not far from Lin Zhentian, so they naturally heard the guests' praise.

Lin Hong looked at Lin Tianci, hostility flashing through his eyes. If not for Lin Tianci, he would definitely be the one receiving the guests' praise right now!

"Cousin Tianci, the Clan Competition is about to begin. Don't disappoint me!" Lin Dong's eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

Lin Mang and Lin Xiao also frowned slightly. They were both his grandsons, yet their father seemed to favor Lin Tianci far too much!

Lin Ken and Lin Xia's eyes were filled with pride. Even when they looked at the several distinguished guests, they found them much more pleasing to the eye.

In the distance, Qing Tan's gaze had not left Lin Tianci since earlier. Her eyes held nothing but admiration.

At this moment, Lin Tianci seemed to be glowing in her eyes.

As though sensing Qing Tan's somewhat fervent gaze, Lin Tianci suddenly turned around and winked at her.

Qing Tan lowered her head shyly, sweetness filling her heart.

Brother Tianci, honestly... there are so many people here. Isn't he afraid someone will notice?

After Lin Zhentian and the others chatted briefly, Lin Xiao, Lin Mang, and the rest returned to their seats one after another.

Seeing this, the Trial Hall gradually fell silent.

Gazes turned toward Lin Zhentian, who sat at the very front.

The Lin Family's Clan Competition had finally begun!
