"Kid, do you know what you're saying?!"
The Yuanming Martial Saint looked at Lin Tian in shock.
Even if he knew the guy was a simp, there was no need to say it directly, it would hurt his pride so much.
And it wasn't just saying it, but saying it right in front of the person himself, with his goddess on the other side.
Not to mention the presence of a Martial Saint like himself and a Nangong Family powerhouse, Nangong Sheng.
Wasn't this just rubbing the young man's face into the dirt?
Hearing the Yuanming Martial Saint's reminder, Lin Tian realized he had accidentally let his inner thoughts slip out.
He then looked at the flushed young man and said apologetically.
"Sorry, I was just thinking that, I really didn't mean to say it out loud, my mouth just moved on its own."
Lin Tian's words, instead of helping, made the young man's face even uglier. He clenched his fists, looking like he was about to rush forward and fight Lin Tian.
"Cough, cough!"
Nangong Sheng, seeing the situation was getting out of hand, coughed twice.
"Qingwan, your aunt is looking for you, go see what she wants."
He used Nangong Ya as a shield to temporarily defuse the situation.
"Okay, Third Uncle!"
Nangong Qingwan nodded and walked away.
"Qi Cheng, go find her aunt with Qingwan first."
Nangong Sheng then said to the flushed young man.
"Hmph!"
Qi Cheng walked past Lin Tian with a furious expression, snorted coldly, and left. He wouldn't dare to act presumptuously in front of Nangong Sheng.
Seeing Nangong Qingwan and Qi Cheng leave, Lin Tian said somewhat sheepishly.
"Um, I really didn't mean to say that, my mouth just moved on its own, believe me."
"Mhm, mhm, your mouth moved on its own, without going through your brain."
The Yuanming Martial Saint nodded perfunctorily.
"Regardless, you've offended that kid. Think about what you're going to do later."
"Qi Cheng, he's the youngest son of the Qi Family's current patriarch, right?"
He asked Nangong Sheng.
"Yes, Qi Cheng is Qi Xing's youngest son."
"Because of this, even though Qingwan dislikes Qi Cheng very much, we can't just drive him away. The Nangong Family and the Qi Family are old friends, we can't disrespect the Qi Family."
Nangong Sheng sighed slightly.
"How strong is the Qi Family?"
Lin Tian asked, seeing Nangong Sheng sigh.
"The Qi Family is the second most powerful family in Magic City, after the Nangong Family."
"So, he's a simp with a background."
Lin Tian suddenly understood.
"Kid, you can't say that again. The Qi Family's strength should not be underestimated. Even if your background is very special, the Qi Family can still suppress you to a certain extent."
The Yuanming Martial Saint warned him sternly.
"Don't worry, I just wasn't careful earlier."
Lin Tian assured the Yuanming Martial Saint.
"You two, follow me."
Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Nangong Sheng continued to lead them towards the Nangong Family's reception hall.
Before long, the three arrived at the Nangong Family's reception hall. Four people were already waiting inside, three men and one woman, each exuding a powerful aura.
Upon seeing Lin Tian and the Yuanming Martial Saint arrive, the four quickly stood up.
"Greetings, Lord Yuanming!"
"Ah, no need for all this. This is your Nangong Family, I'm just a guest."
The Yuanming Martial Saint waved his hand.
"Lord Yuanming, our ancestor is in seclusion, please forgive us."
"It's alright, it's alright. I'm just here to look around with this kid."
After speaking, the Yuanming Martial Saint pulled Lin Tian to the seats prepared for them and sat down.
Seeing this, the four people from the Nangong Family seemed lost in thought. Nangong Sheng, who was standing nearby, then sat down in his own seat.

"But right before graduation, I did something that made that girl think about me constantly, wanting me to know everything she did."
"Really?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Cheng's anger turned into interest.
"Would I lie to you? Yuanming Martial Saint knows all about it."
Seeing Yuanming Martial Saint's indifferent expression, Qi Cheng gradually began to believe Lin Tian's words.
Yuanming Martial Saint himself was bewildered. What was he talking about? He had no idea.
"Tell me, hurry and tell me!"
Qi Cheng said eagerly, completely forgetting Nangong Qingwan, who had witnessed the entire exchange.
"Heh heh, this is a secret I don't usually share, but since you seem to be in the same boat, I'll reluctantly tell you."
Lin Tian put on an air of profound wisdom, giving Yuanming Martial Saint and Nangong Ya a bad feeling. They suspected this kid Lin Tian was up to no good.
And Lin Tian's next words directly confirmed their suspicions.
"Brother, the only thing I did to get that girl's attention was one thing!"
"What thing?"
Qi Cheng asked expectantly.
Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Lin Tian said mysteriously, "In front of the entire school, I kicked her away. Ever since then, that girl has been chasing after me relentlessly, which is quite annoying."
After speaking, Lin Tian put on a troubled expression, making Qi Cheng a little unsure.
"Kicked... kicked the goddess?"
"Is... is it true?"
After saying this, Qi Cheng felt a flicker of anticipation!
